Continental CrossContact LX25 tires for a 2016 Cadillac SRX received ratings of 10/10 Ride Comfort and 9/10 Wet Traction. This review is based upon the first impressions after about 1000 miles of use in dry and wet conditions, no snow or heavy ice, on city/highway roads. I researched a number of tires to replace the OEM Michelin Latitudes supplied on my 2016 SRX. Based upon the ratings from Mavis and Tire Rack, I decided to go with the Continental Cross Contact L25. So far, i am glad I did. The change in the ride of the car was stunning. It was like night and day. The ride of the Michelins was rough, where the car felt every bump and tar strip in the road. Many passengers I had commented on the rough ride of the car, which was surprising as it is supposed to be a luxury brand. As soon as I drove the car out of the Mavis shop, I noticed the difference. The ride is now silky smooth. The tires smooth out the tar strips and small bumps in the road so that you barely feel them. The roll resistance is also much lower. I can not believe that a simple tire change could have that much of an effect on the ride characteristics.

Any new venture brings with it some trepidation. Today marked the first awards presentation at Club Industry for our annual Best of the Best contest. We were a little concerned about the turnout for the event, especially when there were only a few people in the audience a few minutes before show time. But over the course of the seminar, about 35 people came to hear what made our "best" programs tick.
After our editor, Pam Kufahl, made her introduction and SportsArt marketing director Scott Logan had some opening remarks, a video presentation produced by Jenn (Shaver) and Jen (Ray) went flawlessly. I think they need to add "Mix Master Artists" to their resumes.
Not only were the four winning programs all from the state of Texas, all the presenters were (and still are) female. I think we should call them the "Cowgirls" or the "TexAnns" as they do at Tarleton State University.
The four winners and presenters were as follows: Best Behavior Modification Program--Texins Activities Centers and Health Fitness Corp., Dallas, TX (Blair Archer, wellness coordinator); Best Children's Program--Bodyworks Family Sports Center, Lubbock, TX (Kristi Franks, youth fitness director); Best New Member Integration Program--Cooper Aerobics Center at Craig Ranch, McKinney, TX (Kelly Warrington, program director); Best Nonmember or Community Program--Bodyworks Family Sports Center, Lubbock, TX (Krista Burns, events coordinator).
I think the low-key atmosphere of the room helped all four women calm their nerves (not that they showed any) and allowed them to give stellar power-point presentations. All were very professional and enthusiastic about not only winning their awards, but also about showing off their clubs' programs in a positive light.
After the four presentations, Kelli Calabrese presented the Lifetime Achievement Award to Phil Kaplan, one of the elite personal trainers in the country. Kaplan acted surprised about winning the award, and then jokingly thanked Martin Scorsese and Al Pacino, as if he had just won an Academy Award.
The Lifetime Achievement Award was perhaps a little misplaced in the show. Plus, the Best of the Best awards seminar was competing against the giant that is the trade show floor. There has been early discussion about moving the Best of the Best to a more marquee time at next year's show. It's worth doing.

We live one block from our elementary school and my 7 year old boy walks home alone at times. There are no stop lights, or busy intersections and we have been walking to this school since he was in Preschool. He and his older brother walked it together for several years as well. We do not live in a bubble, assuming "our neighborhood is safe." ( it actually is). But, We do not want our boys to live in fear either. Therefore, we have educated and then roll played with them on what to do should a predator try to take them. I also have a 20 minute window of time in which if they are not home yet, or I have not heard anything, I start walking. We believe that if you allow children a little independence and responsibility. It will increase their self confidence, decrease there fears and dependency. It can also slowly build trust and responsibility between the parents for them to take on bigger challenges and responsibility's in the future. Not to mention, good for their health, and good for environment. The truth is, there are MANY variable's to factor in before making this decision. Are you a "Helicopter Mama" or a "Free Range Parent"? I like to hover somewhere in between. Go with what you as a parent and your child is comfortable with. Truth is, it's usually the parents who have a hard time with this, not the kids! Good Luck
Under what circumstances is it safe for kids to walk home from school?
We all want our kids to be safe, but sometimes after school transportation can be a little tricky. Are there circumstances (like walking with a group, or living close to the school) that make walking home from school okay for your kids? What are they?
Mom's I am so sorry to be so hard on those of you who let your kids walk home at any age. IT IS A HUGE RISK. PERIOD. I hope I don't ever have to see you on TV crying begging for whomever has your child to let them come home to you again. It is horrible to have your child kidnapped. I know from experience. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=images&sclient=psy-ab&q=2+girls+kidnapped&oq=2+girls+kidnapped&aq=f&aqi=&gs_l=serp.3...17466.23590.0.24011.39.23.0.184.108.40.206.1187.21j1.23.0...0.0.3-99_ftFn7o&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1366&bih=667&emsg=NCSR&noj=1&ei=g66hT7vyGY2I8QTx_bTkCA&sei=nq6hT8P1GoWI8QSw-fnHCA&gbv=2
Well I have strong thoughts on this! Being that on my way home from highschool, when I was 14, I was attacked by a stranger( in an upscale neighborhood)...I ran to a house with sprinklers on cuz my instincts said, someone may be home...I was let in by an older woman who couldn't hear me screaming when the incident happened. I made a police report although the man was never caught. Now I was 14, what would a 7 or 8 year old do? Is it worth the risk....
For those parents who allow their young children to walk home, expect the unexpected...What I mean is, this is not the only incident which occured in our "safe city", nor to me. Young Girls and Boys are preyed upon every day, unfortunately I don't mean to scare anyone just alert parents that kids are precious and educate them on the real world we live in. Furthermore when I was 13 I had my own paper route, went to over 30 houses and apartments at 5:00am by myself delivering papers, skated to and from middle school on skates, rode my skateboard in vacant parking lots with my friend early mornings alone. So we thought it was a "Brady Bunch World" out there...Untill one day walking to my friends house (about 8 houses away) when I was in 5th grade a car pulled up along side me and inside was a young man half dressed (being a pedifile) asked me for directions told me to get in his car with him...Luckly I knew to run! After, my parents told me about stranger danger, By the way, the day I was attacked walking home from High school there were 2 other people walking right behind me who did nothing!
Looking at all the responses, I think we are smothering our kids to death at the detriment of them becoming needy and dependent adults. The main risk is road safety.
There has always been paedophiles and abductors. That's not new. The media reports better now and we all have access to the information. It was well hidden and not talked about in the past. I do think it depends on the child what age they are allowed off the leash but a good parent will know how to loosen the reins bit by bit to ensure their child develops a sense of responsibility and maturity. Children need to be trusted when they are ready and if we don't allow them to look out for dangers as they mature, how will they cope in the real world???
There have always been pedophiles & abductors, but it is MY responsibility as Mom to ensure those people NEVER come in contact with my children. I don't feel my presence walking/driving my kids to school will in any way hinder "how they cope in the real world" , nor do I feel it will lead my children to become "needy and dependent adults". It will only increase the odds that they will in fact make it to adulthood. I choose to live proactively instead of reactively when it comes to my children.
The question is for how long you will be able to ensure "those people NEVER come in contact with your children?" Is it College? I was raped then. For me, being "overprotected as a child hindered my transition into adulthood BAD. Totally unprepared...not my kids, they will be confident in there ability's because I taught them how to protect themselves along the way. The idea of you ensuring your child's safety is a bit idealistic. Teaching your child how to ensure there own safety, that is Realistic. It has to happen gradually throughout there life, but when your fears start to hindering their safety...that is when it become come a problem. Just make sure you define the line.
Personally I don't think kid should walk home alone. There are to many crazy people out there looking for a kids alone. If they have friends that live next door or that can just come home with your child would be better then them being alone. There is safety in numbers and my son is 15yrs and I still watch him on and off the bus. We have college kids missing so no one is exempt for the crazies out there. I know every kid is different but every town has perverts in it. Sorry it this scares you but we have to protect our children because no one else will. Hope this helps in your choice walk or not to walk. God Bless you!
My son has been walking to and from school with friends since he turned 9 this May. His school does not provide bus service as all the students live within 3/4 of a mile. This means that all students, K5 - 5th grade, have to walk or be dropped off. It is about a 10 minute walk from our apartment and he has to call when he leaves school so I know when to expect him. With the majority of the students walking, there are so many people (parents and students) that I don't really worry about him too much. There are sidewalks the whole way and he knows that if he acts up, I will hear about it from one of the other parents.
I let my daughter, who is now 12 and in the 6th grade, walk to and from school. This is is the first year I have allowed it, and we live about 4-5 blocks from the school. She has a cell phone and she must call me when she gets to school and when she gets home in the afternoon. Generally, she walks w/ a friend.
When my son was in Elementary school, we were only a block & a half away. It sits at an extremely busy intersection, though, so in the AM, you're dealing with rush hour, but the afternoon isn't quite as dicey. Also, there's only one crossing guard, and she doesn't do both streets. So, I dropped off in the morning, K-5th grade, and on good days, I'd walk up and get him, & we'd walk home together. He's in middle school now. There's a group of kids that walk 9 blocks from school to Carytown's McDonalds...I'm not entirely sold on that, but one of them in the group has an uncle that works on Cary Street & is near enough to keep an eye on things. Two days a week, though, after school, I let him walk with his friends the 2 1/2 blocks to get to the community center. They are required, by the center, to spend an hour on homework, they get a snack, and afterwards he spends his time playing basketball. He does have a cell phone, just for calling me or his dad. It all depends on your child, his/her maturity, sidewalks, and always, always, always walking in a group.
Reality! The world is changing around us daily. There is so much hate out there today. I don't live in a bubble but I am not going to put my children in an enviroment where I don't feel they are safe. We are in a good neighborhood school is like 2 blocks over for elementray and 3 to 4 blocks for high school. I also dont let my son go home after school I guess what they call a latch key kid. My husband works and I also work full time. I take both of my kids to school, my youngest goes to daycare after school my oldest does sports after school and I pick them up after work. People are getting desperate with the ecomny being the way it is there have been more break ins, more bullying, people are being attcked daily in board daylight, An edlery man was attacked and beaten to death by the elementary school so people can say I am over protective. Every child is different and can handle things differently but my youngest is impulsive and does not meet a stranger sort of speak and thinks everyone is good. Don't get me wrong there are good people out there but dont ever think it can't happen to you. It only takes one second for a child to be abducted.
My Daughter is 10 and walks to school on her own we live 10 minutes walk away and she has a mobile phone and she texts me when she has arrived Sometimes she will walk home too She has a friend she walks so far home with.
She is very sensible and has road sense too that's the only reason why I let her walk on her own.
I think it is good for her to have her own independence
I think that depending on your area, how close you live to school, and whether there's a sidewalk or not are really important factors, as well as your child's maturity. And I would always prefer it to be at least a 2-3 kid group. My son was an old man at age 3, and has always been super-responsible. I think had we lived within a couple of blocks of the school and had there been a good sidewalk, I could have let him walk home from school at age 8 or 9 (he's 15 now). My older daughter is iffy, though. If she's having fun she can ignore the world around her. She's now 12, and I'm *still* not positive I'd let her walk home alone under those circumstances--maybe with her brother or in a group. My youngest is kind of in the middle of the two personality-wise and just turned 7. She's not there yet. Maybe at 9 or 10.
But we live in the country and there are no sidewalks so it's moot.
My children's elementary school does not allow children to go anywhere without parent signatures or parent permission. The child must be accounted for at all times, even after dismissal. If they ride the bus, the parent must sign a notice at the beginning of the school year so they ride the bus every day to and from school. If it's a one day thing, you must send a note in with your child, signed, stating that they will be riding the bus to a particular place (a day care, after school care, your house with someone to collect them off the bus, etc. School buses do NOT let children off the bus unless there is someone at the stop to pick them up. If there is not, then the child gets taken back to the school and a parent gets called to come pick them up.). If you drive them, you must be there in the car, ready to sign them out. If you walk to pick them up, you must sign them out every day. It has to be an adult-a legal guardian,or a relative or nanny that comes to pick them up.There are no "we live two houses down, she/he can just walk home by themselves". The school looks out for each and every student to ensure their safety.
I will personally allow my son to walk home off the bus (the three blocks away that the school bus stop is at) with classmates by the time he's in middle school. This all providing I have a job by then. If not, I'll meet him at the stop, and then we'll go get his little sister from the elementary school together.
There isn't a magic age, but kids need to gradually build up to independance and the coping skills to deal with anything that occurs when not under adult supervision. We all know 3 is too young but at 16 we hope our kids will be pretty able to cope without us breathing down their necks ... my strategy was to first allow them to walk into school (the grounds were pretty big, taking 5 minutes from the gate) then the short distance to school on public roads (5 minutes, one small no through road to cross), after this we built up to the postbox, then the shop ... by 10 they took the bus (ordinary public, no school buses in UK cities) to school 3 miles, this year they want to travel to their grandmothers 180 miles away by train, I haven't made up my mind yet whether to let them go, or take the week off and drive them, its a few months off still.
My advice to to build up to it, even if its letting them go across the park to the icecream man with their money, or sending them in a shop to fetch something from another aisle. At 6 most kids can cope with short journeys alone - in many countries all kids go alone to school by then - but the age for travelling to school is very dependant on where you live in relation to the school.
The one thing that will help you make that decision is walking it with your child. You can not know how to help your child until you do it with them. You also need to talk to them (a lot) about what to do and actually practice it. For example: They need to go knock on the door of the "safe" person's home with you and tell that person that they will be walking by every day.
I do not think kids should walk alone(without friends), until they are physically and mentally able to defend themselves. Not before high school. I worried much more about bullies or teasing then abduction. So, our focus was on standing up for yourself. They have both been able to do that.
I'm sure my answer will terrify some of the posters here, but my kids walk home by themselves. One is in first grade and the other is in second grade. We live about 2 blocks from school, and they meet up with friends about a block from here and walk with them (the oldest in the group is in 3rd grade). There are plenty of people around, as we live in a suburban neighborhood where most of the kids walk.
My daughter has been walking home from school since 4th grade (10). We live a good distance from the school, but according to the district, close enough to walk so there is no bus service. She has a cell phone and has to call when she gets home. Prior to that, I had her in an after school program that picked her up from school and I picked her up from there after I got off work.
Well I'm a 5th grader and I'm scared walking home plus when i get of
The bus it really scares me
Hi everyone!!!

Contact.: E-mail: email@example.com OR call/Whats-app: +2348160153829
save your crumbling home and change of grades its 100% safe.
I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you.
When my sister and I were in middle school we would walk home together, literally 4 blocks. One after noon a man drove by flashing us his erect penis! we ran home and called the police. totally safe neighborhood low crime excellent law enforcement, he was caught immediately but still there are psychos out there!
I only let my 13 year old walk home because her middle school didn't have buses and I could see her school from my back yard. It was a straight line and I could watch her the entire route. And she usually walked with a group of boys and girls some of whom were older. And these are big big kids. She is already three inches taller. These days, I think that is the only circumstances period that I would let her walk home. Too paranoid.
Kate rides the bus. , but after school
She likes to ride her bike o I make her take her cell. Phone with her soon know what's happening , where she. Is, will be. ,when she is headed home!!
We live in a "walking" school district, therefore we have no buses. We have sidewalks only along the main street...NOT on any sidestreets. I have a 5 yr old and a 10 yr old with aspergers...needless to say, I drive them & pick them up everyday! Very inconvenient...but I KNOW they are safe!
Next year my 10 year old boy (Who weighs 115 and stands 5 feet tall) will start walking the two blocks from his school, to his dads house, with his stepsister. I am terrified, granted he is a very big boy, he's not fat either, his Dr says he is solid muscle, and not the type of kid that preadators usually seek out, but I am still scared. So he is getting a cell phone, he has to call me when he gets out of cless, when he heads home (if they choose to stay after and spend a little time with friends) and when he gets home. I know it seems overbearing, but I'd rather be too cautious and keep him than be careless and possible lose him. Thats got to be terrifying. He will also have the direct line for Fresno PD dispatch (498-1911) saved in his phone, if your child has a cell phone, I recommend you call the non-emergency line and find out their dispatch number so your children go directly to them if they call, when you call 911 from a cell phone it is typically routed through the state police and funneled down to the specific county yo're looking for.
My kids are 12 and 8. My daughter (12) rides the school bus to and from school. The bus picks her up about 4 blocks from our house. My son (8), gets dropped off on my way to work, and picked up either by me, my husband, or my mom depending on mine or my husband's schedule. My son is too easily distracted and trusting for me to let him walk home. We live a few miles from his school, so if he wasn't picked up, he would ride the bus.
I only live about 4-5 blocks from my son's school, but I wouldn't let him walk there. He's 9 years old, and while I trust him, I don't trust other people. He also wouldn't have anyone else to walk with either though. If he had an older sibling who could walk with him, I'd probably allow that. While I don't want him to live in fear I also don't feel that he's old enough to handle situations that could possibly arise. Besides that I watch cars fly through my residential neighborhood all the time, I see how horribly they drive even in the school zone. So since I can, I just prefer to take him and pick him up. For those parents who do not have that option, I understand. It's really an individual decision.
The way you describe how people drive around the school zone, your son has a much higher chance of being injured in a car accident than he does being abducted while walking to school. In fact, kids have a higher chance of being struck by lightning than being abducted by a stranger.
I just allowed my son who is eight and will turn nine in May, walk home with a friend or friends. He has a prepaid cell phone so he calls me when he gets out of school to tell me who he will be walking home with or if he will be going to the Boy's and Girl's club in front of his school. It helps that we have been in the neighborhood for years and even though we live in a city, our neighborhood is filled with families. I do worry about him crossing the street since his school is about a 15 minute walk from our apartment, but at the time he gets out there are crossing guards on most of the corners and always group of kids walking home. I myself was raised in NYC and was allowed to walk home alone, but was super reluctant to allow my son to walk home since he didn't seem mature enough. But he has proven otherwise and his confidence level has sky rocketed.
We lived too far away from my son's elementary school, so he didn't start walking home until 6th grade, which was two blocks away. We live in an urban environment, however, and the crime rate has risen in our neighborhood over the past several years.
I did walk with him the first couple of times to watch for potential hazards and point them out to him, then a couple of times I followed him home, staying about 1/2 block behind, to make sure he followed the safety rules without being reminded. It's surprising what kids will do - like walking in the street instead of on the sidewalk on a busy city street.
The rules were that he had to stay on the sidewalk, avoid shortcuts, and walk with friends when possible. He was never allowed to go inside a school mate's home unless I met and spoke with the parents to make sure they would provide responsible supervision, and under no circumstances could he go home with a latch-key kid.
Because there is some gang activity and street drug sales near our neighborhood, we took some precautions. We talked about drugs and gangs, and about traffic safety. He was instructed to always make sure the driver saw him and stopped, even in a cross walk, since children occasionally get killed in our city by careless drivers, and even if it is the driver's fault, that doesn't bring the child back. If he was a bit late I would start walking toward the school to make sure everything was okay. I also told him that if he ever had a problem he could talk to us about it, and that I would pick him up if there were too many problems walking home.
Unfortunately the school was a rough environment for him. There was a lot of fighting, classroom disruptions and coarse behavior. The police were at the school on a regular basis to deal with crime. He requested that I homeschool him, and since then walking home from school is no longer a concern.
we live close toour school, a block so i am fortunate. im also fortunate there are alot of kids in our neighborhood and they wait for each other to come home together. there are a few kindergartners so there is usually one of us parents to get them from school.
It really depends on your location to the school. i let both my 11 and 7 year olds walk. The 11 year old is now being driven to school because it is too scary to let her walk on the snow and ice with out sidewalks. the 7 year old has no other choice since the elementary school is across the street.
I understand the worry about it. I have been left in a hard position, my daughter who is 8 in a few months has had to start walking to school (2 blocks from our home) just so that she can attend. I start work before she can be dropped off at the school, and my husband also works, I work at home, so I can let her know when to leave so she always arrives on time for school....but I still pick her up from school every day since my work schedule allows it. I recently found one of her fellow class mates parents that drives their kids to school every day...so we started having her ride with them for the few blocks just so she is not by herself. I feel like she is maybe a bit too young yet, but I wasn't left with much options till recently.
My son is 9 and my daughter is 8 . They started walking home alone this year. They don't cross any streets. I walk them to school in the morning because I'm still afraid, and i'll be wondering did they get there. We do not have cell phone for the kids. I feel so much better that I gave them a little responsibility.
I have let my 9 and 10 year olds walk home this year , for the most part I have trusted them to come straight home but there has been a few times they have got sidetracked at the park they pass and I have to pick them up for a week or so. They always want to walk without me there so it seems to work and stops there being late back .
My daughter is 11 and walks home from th bus stop one block away n a gated community. I still dont feel so safe so when I hear the bus I watch from my window. Two years ago we had soe guy trying to abduct kids in our community. No place is safe and if your child isnot trained or unable to defend themselves then they should no walk around. I always look up the sexual preadators and if we have any close she will not go outside without an adult.

Troy Stafford, Somer Thompson, ect these are names of children who were allowed to walk to and from school together and they were abuducted and killed so I would not feel comfortable allowing a child to walk home from school As Christina said too many perverts out there.

Hans Johnson, Editor UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO DOCTORAL DISSERTATION ABSTRACTS The Development of Accounting Principles for Business Com-binations, 1932-1973 (U. of North Carolina, 1976, 342 pp.; 38/2, p. 863-A*) by Wesley Andrews has as one of its three objectives the addition to the accounting literature of a "concise, critical descrip-tion of the evolution of present thought regarding accounting for business combinations." The dissertation "is arranged chronologi-cally into time periods" which are "separated by significant pro-nouncements of the accounting profession regarding (a) the pur-chase versus pooling of interests dichotomy and (b) goodwill in consolidation." Further, "for each time period, the following sub-jects are discussed: (a) the economic and political environment of the period, (b) the thrust of the general development of accounting principles during the period, (c) specific writings during the period bearing upon the issues of accounting regarding the purchase ver-sus pooling of interests question, and (d) specific writings during the period bearing upon issues of accounting for goodwill in busi-ness combinations." Finally, "the basic conclusion of the study is that present generally accepted accounting principles for business combinations and goodwill have developed largely along deductive lines, characterized by a tendency to borrow traditional, general principles from accounting theory and the law, applying these prin-ciples to business combination situations specifically." Government Regulations and Professional Pronouncements: A Study of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Ameri-can Institute of Certified Public Accountants from 1934 Through 1974 (NYU, 1976, 282 pp.; 38/2, p. 865-A) by William Coffey has as its purpose the determination and assessment of "the contributions of the two groups to the establishment of accounting standards ad-dressed to revenue recognition." He notes that, "uniformity was the criterion used to assess respective financial reporting prac-tices . . . ."

Jess Anderson, a 2011 graduate and former three-sport athlete at the Coast Guard Academy, as she played volleyball, basketball and was a member of the track and field team during her days as a cadet, has found a different way to keep busy after graduation. She competed in the grueling Ironman 70.3 Miami and not only finished the race, but she finished first in her age group and qualified for the World Championships in Las Vegas in 2013.
The Ironman 70.3 Miami was held on Oct. 28th and had a field of 2,500 athletes held at BayFront Park in Miami, Fla. and sanctioned by USA Triathlon.
She started doing marathons during her the senior year at the Academy after volleyball and basketball were over. She completed her first half marathon in February at Cape Cod with a time of 1:53 and her first marathon in May, the Long Island Marathon in 4:27.
Anderson got stationed in Miami and started to sign up for more races as the opportunity presented itself. She ran two marathons in one month in January of this year, one of which was the Goofy Challenge for Disney before trying her first triathlon in Panama, a half ironman.
"I borrowed a bike and shoes from my brother, I had only ever biked 45 miles and had never swam more than a mile," said Anderson. "Having never done a triathlon before and being in a foreign country, the whole thing was quite an adventure. My only goal was to finish, and I did that in 6 hours and 42 minutes. That was when I fell in love with triathlons. "
Anderson had completed her first triathlon, but she wanted to do better. "I had gone incredibly slow, but I had completed it two weeks after a marathon and with virtually no training. I knew I could do way better," said Anderson.
She was determined to train for the next one, but temporarily set her goals aside to focus on the All-Navy Volleyball, a dream of hers since she started playing volleyball at the Academy.
Anderson, the Bears all-time leader with 1,649 digs, also holds the top two marks for digs in a single-season with 556 and 553. She was also an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American third team selection during her senior season as she had a 3.58 GPA as a Marine and Enviromental Sciences major and was named to the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) All-Academic team for three straight seasons.
She made the All-Navy team and was on the team for all of June. At this point, she had registered for her next triathlon, the Miami Ironman 70.3.
However, she was quickly realizing training opportunities would be limited as she went underway all of August on a container ship. She returned to Miami after Labor Day weekend and registered for an Olympic triathlon (Escape to Miami on Sept 23rd). Jess spent the next three weeks training every minute she could. She would do long rides on weekends with her best friend, Hilary Grimes, and during the week she would wake up every morning and swim and bike before work.
"I would often run or workout at lunch and after work I spent several hours in the gym. I completed that triathlon in 2:39 only to incur a two minute penalty kicking me out of the top three in my age group," recalled Anderson. "I vowed to never make the mistake again but was excited to see that I had made progress in biking from a 15mph average to 21mph average. On any given day after that I would run about six miles, bike 25-30, and swim a mile along with doing two-a-days by running the PFE too or playing basketball."
Anderson went to school in Yorktown for most of October and realized that she would have to drive back the day before Miami 70.3, but knew driving up to bring my bike for training was imperative. Every day at school she woke up at 4:45 a.m., ran in the pitch black and swam. At lunch, she would either run or do some cardio and after class, she would hop on my bike to race through the battlefield trails.
"Doing three-a-days is not easy, but when you want something bad enough it is worth it. I drove the 15 hours back to Miami starting the Friday prior to the race and made it to Miami in the afternoon on Saturday" said Anderson. "I checked in my bike and spent the rest of the day relaxing to conserve energy. I could not sleep a wink that night, far too nervous and excited. At 4 a.m. I walked to the race and started preparing my bike station."
The race started at 7:35 a.m. and from that moment on she pushed herself to the limits. Jess had no idea where she was at in placing or how she would do on each leg. She just did her best, and it paid off.
She swam a slow 38 minutes, (according to her), but finished third in her age group. She biked 18.5 mph avg. on the 28 miles out braving the wind, but averaged 23.6 mph. on the way back in with a time of 2:40 in the bike. On the run, she ran her fastest half marathon ever at 1:40, starting the half marathon with a 6:40 mile.
"The whole event was surreal and there were so many times I wanted to just walk or take a break, but I had trained too hard to give up," said Anderson. "I finished in 5:06 and beat my previous PR by an hour and 36 minutes."
She has many races to prepare for between now and championships, including the Key West Olympic Triathlon, Disney Goofey Challenge, ING Miami Marathon, Panama 70.3 and the Texas Ironman, just to name a few.
"Needless to say I will be busy, and those are just some of the big races. I intend to finish in 2:20 or below on my next Olympic Triathlon and I would like to finish under five hours in the Panama Ironman," said Anderson.
"The other races are just more training. My goal is to
qualify for Kona via my May Ironman and to represent the Coast
Guard there. I would also like to qualify for the All-Navy
Triathlon team and just continue improving my times so that I can
eventually become a professional triathlete," added Anderson. "I
have the best supporters in the world. Nothing is impossible unless
you believe it to be."

Birdsong, James Cook
by Maury York
(15 Mar. 1843–18 June 1918)
James Cook Birdsong, printer and state librarian, son of Miles and Dolly Graves Birdsong, was born in Southampton County, Va. In 1856 Birdsong entered the Petersburg printing establishment of Crutchfield and Campbell, publishers of the Daily Express . On 20 Apr. 1861, he enlisted as a private in Company B of the Twelfth Regiment of Virginia Infantry and remained at that rank until the end of the Civil War. He fought in the battles of Seven Pines and Second Manassas and on 2 May 1863, he was captured at Chancellorsville and taken to the Old Capitol Prison. He was released by exchange in September of that year. He was wounded through the right shoulder at Cold Harbor in May 1864 but continued to serve until the surrender at Appomattox Court House.
Birdsong moved to Raleigh in 1866 where he continued his career in printing. For many years he worked for Edwards and Broughton of Raleigh. Between 1876 and 1897 he held the position of examiner of state printing. A resolution of the North Carolina General Assembly on 6 Mar. 1893 directed him to prepare Brief Sketches of the North Carolina State Troops in the War Between the States (1894).
Upon the death of Randolph Abbott Shotwell, the Trustees of the Public Libraries appointed Birdsong state librarian. He assumed the duties in October 1885 and held the position until April 1893.
Birdsong married Ophelia Crocker, daughter of A.J. Crocker, in 1867. They had seven children, including Miles B., Mamie, John H., Edward G., Ludlow, and Heber. For years Birdsong was clerk of the Raleigh Association of the Baptist Church and a member of the board of deacons of the Raleigh Baptist Tabernacle. He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Birdsong also held the positions of adjutant of the L. O'B. Branch Camp of Confederate Veterans and secretary of William G. Hill Masonic Lodge.

Boxing, or pugilism, was a recreational Earth sport. One who participated in this sport was called a boxer. (TNG: "Brothers")
Boxing consisted of two people in a square ring surrounded by ropes. The object was to defeat the opponent on points or by knock-out. In general, the Marquess of Queensberry Rules were followed. (DS9: "Q-Less")
Boxing was taught at Starfleet Academy. Chakotay learned to box as a cadet and was instructed by Boothby. (VOY: "The Fight") After being injured by a plasma discharge while piloting the Delta Flyer in a graviton ellipse, Chakotay woke up claiming, "It feels like I went ten rounds with an Andorian." Tom Paris corrected him, stating that it was "more like twenty." (VOY: "One Small Step")
In 2369, Q challenged Benjamin Sisko, commander of Deep Space 9, to a boxing contest and lost. Q created a boxing ring in Quark's and referred to fisticuffs and pugilism before he lost this fight. (DS9: "Q-Less")

Andrew was a mariner and shipmaster. His descendents eventually made their way to Lebanon, New London Co., CT where many are buried in Trumbull Cemetery. Jerusha Newcomb (who's mother was a Bradford) married Ezra Cleveland in 1745. This English ancestry continued on through my grandmother on my dad's side.

The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) yesterday denied it had decided to support National Taiwan University Hospital physician Ko Wen-je's (柯文哲) bid in the Taipei mayoral election as an independent in November and that it would not nominate its own candidate.
Storm Media, an online news Web site, reported yesterday that the DPP had decided it would not nominate its own candidate in the Taipei election to boost Ko's chance of winning after the aspirant's meeting with DPP Chairman Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) during the Lunar New Year holidays.
The media outlet also reported that the now-defunct New Tide faction, one of the most powerful factions in the party, has switched its allegiance to Ko and dropped its support of lawyer Wellington Koo (顧立雄), one of five DPP aspirants.
Former DPP lawmakers Cheng Wen-tsan (鄭文燦) and Shen Fa-hui (沈發惠), both New Tide members, had accompanied Ko on a visit to a Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) heavyweight on Jan. 28 for talks on inter-party support, according to the report.
DPP spokesperson Xavier Chang (張惇涵) denied that Su had met Ko during the holidays. Cheng denied that he had accompanied Ko on the reported visit and said former New Tide members had not thrown their support behind any aspirant in the Taipei mayoral election.
Ko said on the sidelines of the Taipei International Book Exhibition yesterday that his itinerary was "confidential" and he would not share it with the public, and that the reported endorsement by the New Tide faction "is also something that I would keep to myself."
Ko, whose support rating is ahead of that of Koo and the other DPP aspirants — former vice president Annette Lu (呂秀蓮), Taipei City Council Deputy Speaker Chou Po-ya (周柏雅) and DPP lawmakers Hsu Tain-tsair (許添財) and Pasuya Yao (姚文智) — has been campaigning hard to run as a "pan-green candidate" without having to obtain DPP membership, a proposal that most DPP aspirants oppose.
After previously stressing his preference for "letting the nomination process run its course," Ko appeared to have changed his position yesterday, saying that settling the nomination by the end of next month would be a better idea so that "current disputes over the issue would not go on forever."
In response to the report, Koo said he was not aware of the reported decision and that he did not sense the loss of the New Tide faction's support.
"What the DPP must do is lay out the rules of the game as soon as possible so that anxiety among DPP aspirants like me can be relieved," Koo said yesterday, adding that his support rating has surpassed Lu's and made him the leader among the five DPP aspirants.
Koo said he hoped the DPP could finalize the primary format at a Central Executive Committee meeting on Feb. 15.
He said he would accept either format for the primary if it was formally adopted by the DPP, referring to the so-called "one-phase" and "two-phase" formats, with the former including Ko in the party's public opinion poll and the latter matching the winner of five DPP aspirants with Ko for a second poll to determine the final candidate.
However, Ko is likely not to be the only independent in the running, as award-winning writer Neil Peng (馮光遠) is also likely to enter the race, Koo said.
"If the DPP includes Ko in the public opinion poll, how would the party deal with Peng?" Koo asked.
Former DPP chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) said yesterday that the most important task for the DPP would be "breaking the KMT's monopoly on the Taipei mayorship," which is why garnering maximum momentum among the opposition is crucial.

Feeling like a game of catch, but the sun's gone down? Try out this DIY ball filled with LEDs. They light up randomly as the ball is shaken up, like a bunch of angry fireflies trapped in a globe.
It's a pretty simple process: gather up 15+ LEDs (this one uses 150) and a 3V battery. Dump inside transparent sphere. Have fun! [Instructables via Make Blog]

Woodward at Copper to get $500K overhaul in advance of Olympics
Winter Olympic hopefuls and amateur daredevils alike will have a newly renovated place to practice and play in Summit County. Copper Mountain officials announced that Woodward at Copper, an indoor-outdoor ski and snowboarding training facility, will get a $500,000 facelift in time for summer camps in June.
Woodward at Copper opened in 2009. Basing its philosophy off of Camp Woodward in Woodward, Pa., which opened in 1970, Copper Mountain was the first indoor-outdoor mountain home for a training facility that allowed winter-sports athletes to try new, difficult tricks in a safe environment, according to a resort news release.
"Still one of few training facilities of its kind today, Woodward at Copper is poised to raise the bar, yet again, leading into the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, with improvements that will not only transform winter sports training, but will cater to summer action-sports enthusiasts, as well," resort officials said in a written statement.
The renovations include a new foam pit, a protective cushion that allows athletes to perfect unprecedented and risky moves that they otherwise couldn't practice in a real-world environment.
The pit will be added next to the current big jump line that will include a drop in platform with 2-foot and 4-foot jumps designed for development of beginner park skills.
"It allows you to try tricks you wouldn't try outside until they're perfectly maneuvered," said Copper spokeswoman Austyn Williams. "You would spin off into a foam pit before trying it over hard land. The growing trend of action sports on the snow is increasing the difficulty of the tricks year after year."
The street area will double in size allowing for full access by BMX, mountain bike, skateboards and park skis and snowboards. Renovations also will include two new viewing areas giving spectators an up-close sightline of the action.
"The reason behind the expansion is we want to keep the Woodward product as fresh as possible," Williams said.
Woodward at Copper, a 19,400-square-foot facility, will unveil its latest improvements in time for the first week of summer camp, which starts June 16.
On top of the indoor renovations, Woodward at Copper will also add a summer chairlift. Starting June 16, Woodward at Copper camps will have full access to a lift-served snow jib park with dedicated features designed to shrink the learning gap. BMX and skate program offerings will be extended outdoors, on-mountain, and include an outdoor mini-ramp for summer campers.

Rehkemper (front right) and Jones (front left) led the Crimson to a 3-2 comback victory over Princeton Saturday (Gil Talbot).
PRINCETON, N.J. – The Harvard men's volleyball team came from two sets down Saturday afternoon to knock off Princeton, 3-2. The win snaps a six-match losing streak for the Crimson who is now 8-11 this season.
The Tigers stormed out to a two sets to none lead, winning the opening set 25-19 and the second 25-22. The third set would serve as a momentum shift that the Crimson needed.
Harvard used 11 kills, including four from Matt Jones, combined with 10 Tiger errors to cut into the Princeton lead and take the third set, 25-22. Princeton jumped out to an early 4-0 lead on the Crimson in the fourth set, maintaining the lead until Harvard tied the set score at 19-19. Jones and Kyle Rehkemper took the reins for the Crimsonat that point, each knocking home two kills in the late stages of the fourth set to help Harvard tie the match, 2-2.
In the fifth and deciding set, Harvard converted seven kills on a .700 hitting percentage to complete the comeback, running away with the set, 15-6. Nick Madden recorded two of his 11 kills in the set, while Jones tallied three of his four services aces in the fifth.
Princeton's Vincent Tuminelli led all attackers with 21 kills, but four Crimson reached double digits in kills. Jones led Harvard with 14, while Rehkemper finished with 13, Madden had 11 and Chris Gibbons hit 10 of his own. Jones was also active on the defensive side of the net with three solo blocks and six blocking assists.
Harvard's next match will be April 8 when the Crimson visit New York University.

Hot, muggy August is actually a breath of fresh air. It's a fresh start for Texas kids heading back to school, and the beginning of the budget process for Texas agencies as they work to prepare their budget requests for the new biennium.
In particular, the Texas Juvenile Justice Department has a unique opportunity for a fresh start through a renewed emphasis on county and community-based placements for juvenile offenders to put more troubled Texas youths on the right track—and this can be done even while cutting the overall size of the budget.
Multiple news reports and an internal audit this summer have detailed rampant safety issues within state lockups for juvenile delinquents. While juvenile lockups certainly cannot and should not be pleasant places to stay, they must provide a basic level of security for minors.
To the contrary, youth-on-youth and youth-on-staff assaults have been widely reported and are causing concern among Texas lawmakers. And this isn't the first time that state facilities have engendered concern in policymakers, harkening to the dark days of the 2006 sexual abuse scandal.
Their concern is warranted due to the safety issues as well as the substantial taxpayer investment in these facilities, totaling over $130,000 per year, per juvenile offender. With that kind of a price tag, lawmakers and Texas citizens are right to expect a greater degree of proficiency in handling juvenile offenders than reports suggest. This price tag shows that while staffing and security problems in state youth lockups must be addressed, spending more money alone will not cure these ills in Texas facilities.
To achieve that proficiency, the Department should continue and reemphasize its multiyear trend of placing more juveniles at the county level, and reallocating some of the funding from the state facilities to programs and placements at the county level, and shaving the balance of the savings off the budget entirely.
Texas counties began handling increased numbers of juvenile offenders in 2007 when lawmakers placed all misdemeanants in county care, and then initiated the Commitment Reduction Program. This grant program provided funds to counties who reduced their commitments to the state and placed more juvenile offenders within their own facilities and community-based programs.
By law, these placements must cost no more than $140 per day, less than half the price tag of state facilities, and counties were required to prove the programs were effective through ongoing performance measure tracking.
In part, these community-based and county-based solutions are effective as youths are closer to their families, churches, and other sources of support that are vital to successful reentry when they leave the juvenile justice system. Results from 2010, the first full fiscal year of use, show that less than two percent of youths required state-level placement following their initial county placement, and that reductions in state commitments tripled what was otherwise possible.
Counties were able to accomplish these outcomes for juveniles even while using what a recent Texas Criminal Justice Coalition survey called "underfunded" budgets. In fact, counties run incredibly efficient juvenile operations, indicating that lawmakers can divert further funding to the counties and entrust that taxpayer funds are likely to be spent more effectively.
While there are other important priorities for the Department that can further reduce the budget – namely, reducing the length of stay for low-level youths who remain in state lockups and prioritizing comprehensive, effective reentry programs that have proven to reduce recidivism – the new budget must reemphasize the use of county placements and further diversion of funding to the counties, recognizing that in most cases public safety and offender rehabilitation can best be accomplished at the local level.
Agency staff, Texas lawmakers, and Texas citizens are weary of the problems continually plaguing the juvenile facilities. This budget process offers a way out of the problems by going back to the basics, starting with the family and community, while continuing to reduce juvenile crime and taxpayer costs.

I was going through some of the art I have in the tattoo section and I found that I have never made a tutorial on "how to draw a spider tattoo", step by step. I literally could not believe my eyes when I found that I never created a spider tattoo. When I was thinking of a cool design I wanted to make something that I have seen a lot on the arms, legs, and backs of various people. After thinking and looking at all sorts of designs, I finally went ahead with a concept that is going to make the spider look like it's coming off the skin for a realistic effect. Instead of creating a fictional type of spider, I went ahead and tried to make an actual spider design. What makes the spider look like it's popping off the skin is the shadowing that is drawn in under the body and legs. It is a relatively easy spider to create which means I feel confident that you will do a good job with replicating the spider tattoo. Remember, tattoos are fun because you can alter them to look like anything you want. I will be back in a few so hang around to see what turns up new. Peace out people!

Former addict fronts Seventh Day Slumber
Joseph Rojas, center, tried to commit suicide while a cocaine addict. Today he is the lead singer for Seventh Day Slumber, which will perform at Heavenfest on Saturday at Northern Hills Church in Brighton. Photo by Eliza Marie Somers, The Denver Post
Alcoholics, drug addicts, liars, robbers, people who aimlessly wander the streets. We all have known someone like this, and if not, we've hurriedly walked past people begging in the shadows of our existence.
Joseph Rojas, lead singer for Seventh Day Slumber, was one of those people. By age 14, he was using cocaine, and by the time he was 22, he had a $400-a-day cocaine habit. That habit put him on the brink of death. This is his story, a story he will bring to Heavenfest on Saturday (noon-10 p.m.) at Brighton's Northern Hills Church, and it's much better story in his own words.
"I'm a work in progress," said Rojas, 35. "I make a lot of mistakes still, and I'm not where I want to be in my relationship with God, but I'm nowhere near where I was."
Where he was, was on his mother's floor having a heart attack, trying to commit suicide.

3D printing has been used to manufacture almost everything you can imagine, from action figures to guitars. It has even been used to create parts for robots and automobiles. It looks as though a different form of 3D printing will be used to send rockets into space.
NASA recently teamed up with aerospace/defense company Aerojet Rocketdyne to develop a rocket engine constructed through an additive printing process. The additive process (a form of 3D printing) can be accomplished through several methods. Selective laser sintering fuses small particles of metal into a desired shape. Fused deposition modeling melts metal through the nozzle, creating shapes one layer at a time. Stereolithography uses a vat filled with curable resin that "hardens" one layer at a time.
Another form of additive printing is known as selective laser melting (SLM), which is the method both companies used to create their functioning prototype rocket engine. SLM uses a high-powered laser to melt the metal into a particular shape determined by a CAD file. Specifically, the collaborative parties used the SLM process to create a liquid-oxygen/gaseous hydrogen rocket injector assembly, which is a critical part of the rocket engine, since it is the part responsible for controlling the combustion process.
Traditionally, these parts are tested in controlled settings to determine their performance and quality before they are assembled into the engine itself. These are known as SLS (Space Launch System) acoustic tests, where engineers listen for anything that may be off during a test firing. The injectors for these tests are traditionally smaller than their full-scale mockups. They usually take around six months to fabricate using four parts with a total of five welds costing upwards of $10,000 US each.
To put that into perspective, NASA engineers fabricated the same test injector in one piece using the SLM method with Iconel stainless-steel (nickel-iron-chromium alloy) powder along with their industrial-grade printer. The engineers fabricated the part, and then used a minimal amount of machining to clean it up. They used a series of computer scans to search for defects.
The whole process of manufacturing the injector took only three weeks to accomplish, at a cost of only $5,000, which is a significant reduction over the time and cost of its parent part. Actually, it only took 40 hours to fabricate the injector itself. The rest of the time was spent polishing and inspecting it before it headed off to the test bed! A total of two injectors were made and were subjected to 11 main-stage hot-fire tests for a total of 45 seconds worth of burn time at up to 6,000°F. Not only did the injectors successfully handle the test fires, they showed little to no damage after being subjected to extreme heat and pressure.

Despite changes, tower atop Joske's denied
The city's Historic and Design Review Commission denied plans Wednesday for a high-rise rooftop addition to the Joske's building, in spite of vast improvements made in recent weeks in its design.
The developer has the option of returning to the commission with a different design, or appealing to the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The latest plan included a 26-story blade-shaped tower, on top of the historic four-story Joske's structure, for a total of 30 stories.
The review board was split on whether to continue talking to architects to achieve the best design. But Chairman Tim Cone and Commissioner Michael Guarino said there's little to negotiate.
The developer, BC Realty of Dallas, is working with New York's Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp., owner of Rivercenter mall, and is intent on having a structure with at least 500 rooms.
"One thing that doesn't change is the essential diagram," Guarino said.
Cone said he felt the commission, which first saw an early design for the project more than six months ago, owed the developers a decision Wednesday, so they can proceed. He said the size, scale and design of the project have been driven by "outside sources" involved in the hotel and timeshare project.
"And I think that's inappropriate," Cone said.
Overland Partners, a local design firm brought into the project last month, got kudos from the panel for changing the design from a monolithic glass-and-steel geometry to a two-tiered form with a stone veneer exterior and strong vertical lines to complement the Joske's 1930s Art Deco facades. Overland used setbacks to pull its 10- and 26-story towers back from the Joske's outer edges, to make the addition less imposing.
Madison Smith, a founding principal with Overland, said the firm quickly crafted a project "that one day will be a historic building that we will have come to love."
But commissioners said they did not expect to get what they felt is needed for the Joske's building and the adjacent Alamo Plaza: a downsizing of the addition.
"I don't believe this is the type of economic development that we need," Cone said, referring to the city's SA 2020 initiative, which he said focuses more on downtown residential development than hotels.
Chris Oviatt, general manager of Rivercenter mall, declined to comment after the commission denied conceptual approval of the project in a 6-2 vote. He said the development and design team would need to "regroup" before issuing any formal reaction.
The commission received 11 letters on the case — three for the project and eight against, and heard Wednesday from 26 speakers, including 15 for and 10 against. One speaker was neutral.
Longtime downtown businessman Harry Leeper said the city "will not prosper in the 21st century by looking backward." Another downtown business leader, Nancy Hunt, encouraged the commission to keep working with Overland on the design.
"They obviously listened to the concerns," said Hunt, executive director of the Paseo del Rio Association.
But Darlene Regalbuto said the tower would cast shadows on Alamo Plaza, a magnet for tourists in the middle of a local and national historic district, as well as St. Joseph Catholic Church, where she worships.
"It will just be dark," she said, referring to the altar area of the church. "I just don't want an elephant in the room."
Longtime public administration college professor Heywood Sanders warned that the high-rise venture, like many San Antonio endeavors that once were highly touted, could fall short of promise, leaving a financially struggling enterprise within view of the Alamo shrine's front lawn.
"Once that tower happens, it's not going away," he said.
Staff Writer Neal Morton contributed to this report.

Drawing girls can be easy, or it can be hard. One thing is certain, it is always fun drawing girls because you can dress them up to look how ever you want them to be. One of my favorite things to draw is female eyes. Just sketching out the shape of an eye, adding the long lashes and inking them to look bold and beautiful, really is fun to me. This lesson however is going to show you "how to draw a cute girl", step by step. Yes I know she has the face of a chibi, but that is all the more reason to call her cute. All children have a special innocence that makes them adorable. If they didn't, we wouldn't see them posted in magazines modeling kids clothing, or feel bad for them when they cry from getting hurt. I have a six year old sister and she has got to be one of the cutest kids I have ever seen. And I'm not just saying that because she is my sibling either. She looks like a mini version of Jessica Alba with her big brown eyes, and friendly face. If you would like to customize this drawing to look like your sister, cousin, or friend, just draw the hair shorter or longer, add some curl or no hair at all if it's a toddler, change the eye color, and do whatever you want to do. All I know is, you should definitely have an awesome time drawing a cute girl from scratch because you can dress her with a spring dress, and a bouquet of spring flowers. I will be back later, and with my return I will bring more creative art. Peace out people, and happy drawing!

Q: I have a de-icer but my pond totally froze over. Help! What do I do?
Maggie – Carlisle, PA
A: Sounds like your pond fell victim to the 2014 Polar Vortex! When frigid weather persists for days on end – like those way-below-zero temperatures endured by a large swath of the country earlier this month – a pond can completely freeze over, even if a higher-watt de-icer and aerator are used. The ice-melting combination works great in most scenarios, but it just can't keep up in extreme conditions.
If your pond has been totally frozen over for a day or so, your fish will be fine. But if it has been more than a few days, your pond pals could be at risk of oxygen deprivation or overexposure to dangerous gases trapped beneath the ice.
So what do you do?
Let's start with what not to do – and that's to try to smash the ice with a chisel or blunt object. The sound and vibration of that pounding on the ice amplify underwater, which can stress out your fish. They're already unhappy, and so you certainly don't want to make them endure more trauma!
Instead, use a pot of hot water to melt away the ice. If it's particularly thick, you might need to repeat the process several times to open a complete hole in the frozen stuff. While the temperatures remain frigid, check on the pond every few days to make sure the hole is still open; if it freezes over again, use hot water to open the hole back up.
With another two-plus months of winter ahead of us, it's not too late to add a de-icer to your pond if you don't already have one. Simply place a unit, like the K&H Thermo-Pond De-Icer, on the ice and turn it on. It will heat up and melt through the ice – as long as temperatures aren't too extreme!
Pond Talk: How did your pond fare during these extreme frigid January temperatures?
