Q & A with Ashley Moyer
What are some of the hardest challenges you've faced in races?
In my first 100-mile race, Oil Creek in 2011, I was really unprepared. The farthest I'd run before was 50 miles, that being a fast course that I did it in just over seven hours. Around 70 miles in, I started falling apart. My knee and foot hurt, I couldn't run the downs and I was in a lot of pain. I couldn't have overcome it with out my crew and pacer, David, and his dad, Jeff.
Then, last fall, in the Labor Pains 12-Hour Endurance Run, a team trail race, I ran with David, I was refueling at the aid station before my next five-mile loop. I took a bite out of a banana and got stung by a bee on the inside of my lower lip! It swelled up; I tried holding ice on it for a while, but then David came in and I had to run again. I could hardly eat or drink, and was really uncomfortable, but it eventually went away and we went on to run 90 miles total in just under 12 hours.
What is your most memorable race?
Last fall's Oil Creek 100-miler. I went back because I knew I could better my first time. The experience was unforgettable, chasing the clock and running through the finish line almost five hours faster then I had before. Also, the Hyner 50K will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was my first trail race and I've gone back every year since. It's a great course, challenging, and by now I feel like I know everyone there!
The race I just ran, Manitou's Revenge, rose pretty quickly to the top of my list because I love the Catskills, and they put together a ridiculously tough course on some amazing trails. At the moment I seem to have a desire to run the nastiest, most difficult races I can find, and this one fit the bill.
Have you always been fast?
I didn't run cross-country or track, but when I was in the Marines, I was mostly faster than the other women in drills. When I started running trails, I was pretty close to the top, and ramped up my training and became more competitive. I really want to see how I would do against some of the faster women in trail running.

Like many baby boomers, Sam Irwin's career path has seen some zigs and zags over the years. History teacher, grocery store manager, tour guide, crawfish buyer … you get the picture. But, then, his computer opened up his true calling in life – fiction writer – and, as a lifelong resident of southern Louisiana, he's full of stories. Here is his latest which originally appeared in Country Roads Magazine.
How to skin a catfish: And the other simple joys of my childhood
I grew up in the Poor Man's Provence.
That is the appellation columnist Rheta Grimsley Johnson used to describe Henderson, a fishing community in St. Martin Parish, in her book Poor Man's Provence.
She got the poor man part right—most of Henderson's families eked out a living determined by the rise and fall of the Atchafalaya River.
Her Provence concept was a state of mind and I understood what she meant, but I've traveled through France's Provence and Henderson does not look anything like the south of France.
Henderson did sound like France, however.
French was routinely spoken at Amy's Grocery, my grandfather's grocery store. (Pronounce it Ah-me, Cajun-style). Poppa's store was located at the end of Highway 352, the last stop before the Atchafalaya Basin levee. You could pick up the food basics (Evangeline Maid bread, lunch meat, Mello Joy coffee) the drink basics (Pearl and Jax beer, distilled water), hardware, socks, shoes, a fresh Hav-a-Hank handkerchief, some marshmallow peanuts, gasoline and coal oil.
The store was also fully stocked with fishing tackle for the commercial fishermen who lived in Henderson or the weekend sport fishermen who drove in from Lafayette and beyond.
If I could take a part of my life and wrap it up like a Christmas present it would be the time I spent in Poppa's fish market, a place we called the fish dock. Located directly behind the grocery store, Poppa bought hundreds of pounds of catfish, buffalo carp and gaspergou on a daily basis. Most of the fish was sold wholesale to out of town interests, because you can't sell fish to a town of fishermen. The French flowed freely around the big scale that could weigh up to three hundred pounds of fish at a time.
Still, I never, ever compared Henderson to Provence. With its numerous restaurants, honkytonks, boat landings, one stops, bars and camps lining the gravel road all the way to Butte La Rose, and the wilderness beyond the levee, I likened the area more to the Badlands I heard so much about in the Westerns I saw at the Jeff Theater.
Late at night, tucked deeply into my grandmother's front room bed, I could hear the soft bass of Allons Danser, Colinda thumping from the jukebox at Robin's Dance Hall across the street. No telling what kind of romantic liaisons and heartbreaks occurred on that corn-mealed dance floor. No telling how many ducks, deer and undersized bass were taken in the wilderness on the sly despite the best efforts of game wardens and parish deputies. No telling how many reckless boaters violating no-wake zones went unreported.
Henderson, my so-called Badlands, was left to police itself, and nothing too bad ever really happened except in the outlaw imagination of a kid who had watched too many episodes of Wagon Train. Henderson's environment was wild, but its life was not necessarily woolly.
Before Henderson's fish economy gave way to the crawfish business, my single most pleasurable experience was watching Lionel Hayes, Poppa's right hand man, skin a catfish or gut a gou. Depending on how the customer wanted his fish dressed determined the level of seafood processing. Naturally, most wanted the catfish skinned, and often with the whiskered head still attached. A few skilled surgical incisions and Lionel denuded the cat of its skin and entrails in minutes—a thing of beauty to a ten-year-old boy. But the most exciting thing ever was to watch him wield the razor-sharp hatchet and guillotine the soon-to-be-cooked fish.
Before writer Sam Irwin discovered the backspace/delete key on his computer and began writing, Sam was a:
- history teacher
- used car salesman
- grocery store manager
- crawfish buyer
- honky tonk fiduciary (the notorious Corner Bar in Breaux Bridge)
- plantation home tour guide
- waiter
- failed pawnbroker
- owner of the legendary Paradise Records at the north gates of LSU
His fiction has been published by Dead Mule, Tom's Voice, Gulf Coast Writers Anthology, Spillway Review, Long Story Short, Gris Gris Rouge, Country Roads, Cape Fear Crime Festival Chapbook, Murder in the Wind Anthology, Love is in the Wind Anthology and the Nicholls State Jubilee Anthology.

Diono Radian: Ideal for 3-Across and Narrow Seating Positions
Diono has introduced a new generation of convertible seats based on the previous Sunshine Kids Radian line. The main new feature of these carseats is that they can become highback booster seats—they're now 3-in-1 (rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster). The Radian R-series, the R100, R120, and Radian RXT, all have basically the same shell design but features distinguish them from each other.
|Rear-Facing Weight Limits
|Forward-Facing Weight Limits
|Booster Weight Limits
|5-40 lbs.
|20-65 lbs.
|50-100 lbs.
|5-45 lbs.
|20-80 lbs.
|50-120 lbs.
|5-45 lbs.
|20-80 lbs.
|50-120 lbs.
This review is for the Radian RXT model, which rear-faces from 5-45 lbs., becomes a forward-facing seat for 20-80 lbs., and can become a booster for 50-120 lbs.
- Weight limits:
- 5-45 lbs. rear-facing with at least 1.5" of carseat above the child's head or total height of 44"
- 20-80 lbs. forward-facing with a child less than 57" tall
- 50-120 lbs. as a booster with a child less than 57" tall, but child's shoulders must also be at or above the 4th set of harness slots
- 5 harness slot positions on carseat: 9", 10.5", 12", 15", 17.5"
- 3 buckle slots: 3.5", 5.5", 7"
- 2 position recline for forward-facing only; must use recline base when rear-facing
- Restraint weight: 26.5 lbs.
- Outside width: approx. 17" at widest point at shoulders, 16.5" at widest point at thighs
- Inside width: approx. 14" at widest point at shoulders, 14.5" at widest point at thighs
Features and Advantages
5-point Harness from 5-80 pounds: The 45 lbs. rear-facing weight limit is currently the highest on the U.S. market. The high 80 lbs. weight limit means that heavier children will be able to stay in the seat longer before moving to a booster. Here's a pic of my 57 lbs. 9 yr old dd:
High Rear-Facing Weight and Height Limits: Even the largest toddlers (and preschoolers!) will be able to rear-face in this convertible for a long time with the 45 lbs. maximum rear-facing weight limit and tall shell. This falls in line with the revised policies of the American Academy of Pediatrics and NHTSA to keep children rear-facing to a minimum of age 2 and longer, if possible. The deep seat will give larger rear-facing children more leg room.
5 Harness Height Positions: The wide range of harness slot positions means that the RXT will fit most children comfortably throughout their use of the seat.
The harness height adjusts from the back of the seat. Each strap is removed from the metal splitter plate and rethreaded through the correct harness slot. Use the slots at or below the shoulders for rear-facing, above for forward-facing. Children whose shoulders are above the top harness slots, yet still weigh less than the maximum forward-facing harness weight limit, may continue to use the carseat. For those children, the tops of their ears must be below the top of the carseat.
Recline Adjustments: There are 2 recline positions for forward-facing only and the separate foot is used for recline when rear-facing. With the recline foot on the seat for rear-facing, there's no way to adjust recline position on the carseat itself other than by trying some installation tricks. For forward-facing, the bottom of the seat can drop down in front thereby increasing recline a bit. This may help the carseat install better in some vehicles.
Harness Adjuster and Use: The front harness adjuster tightens the harness with a tug-tug-tug motion.
SuperLATCH: For Radians manufactured before March 2014, the following applies to you: in vehicles made after 2005, Diono claims that their SuperLATCH connectors can be used to the upper forward-facing weight limit. There is some discussion in the child passenger safety world if this is best practice concerning lower LATCH anchors in some vehicles; most vehicle manufacturers place weight limits of 40/48 lbs. on their lower anchors. Suffice it to say, if you have a newer vehicle and want to use SuperLATCH to its full weight limits, it'll have to be what we call a "parental decision."
For Radians manufactured on or after March 1, 2014: the LATCH connectors may be used to a maximum rear-facing weight limit of 35 lbs. When used forward-facing, the maximum weight limit for lower LATCH connector use is 40 lbs. Once your child reaches these weight limits, switch to using the vehicle seat belt for installation, regardless of when the vehicle was manufactured.
When the carseat is used as a booster, however, it may be LATCHed in at any weight. This is because the LATCH is simply holding the carseat to the vehicle while the seatbelt is restraining the child and will be the device taking crash forces.
There is an adjuster on one side of this strap. The LATCH connectors are the deluxe push-on style connectors. There are storage areas at the top of the shell to store the LATCH and top tether connectors when not in use. The tether strap can be used rear- or forward-facing. While tethering a forward-facing child restraint with a harness is always recommended, a top tether is not required for this seat. As I mentioned before, if a child is between 20-40 lbs. and is forward-facing, the SafeStop load limiter must be attached to the harness.
Note: Diono defers to the vehicle manufacturer for LATCH weight limits if your vehicle is older than MY 2005. If your vehicle requires you to discontinue the use of the lower anchors at 40/48 lbs. (or another weight limit), simply use the seatbelt for installation. Seatbelt installations are just as safe as LATCH, providing you can get a good, tight installation. Consult your vehicle owner's manual for more specific information. Use of lower LATCH anchors in the center seating position with non-standard spacing is allowed only if your vehicle owner's manual specifically allows it and the lower anchor bars are spaced 11″-14″ apart.
Crotch Strap Adjustment: There are three crotch strap positions located approximately 3.5", 5.5", and 7" from the back of the seat.
Adjustable Thigh Support: The sides on the Radian can be adjusted in or out depending on the size of your child. It adds up to 2.5" of width to the seating area when they're adjusted out.
SafeStop Load Limiter: SafeStop load-limiting device must be used when installing with LATCH or when using the top tether, and the child weighs between 20-40 lbs.—so, since everyone knows to tether all the time, you essentially use the SafeStop when the child is between 20-40 lbs. I did have a problem getting my SafeStop attached to the splitter plate: the loop was sewn too tightly and couldn't be finagled into place. At 4p on Friday, I called Diono to request a new one. Not only did they answer the phone at 4p, I didn't have to explain myself silly trying to get the CSR to understand me. Awesome!
A Place for Everything And Everything In Its Place: Because one of the uses for the RXT is as a travel seat (it does fold, after all), there are storage spots for the tether, SafeStop, and lower LATCH connectors. These aren't notches on the side of the shell, but actual storage cubbies. Neat-niks like me really appreciate cubbies. 😉
Padding, Comfort and Appearance: The name of the fashion I received is Storm: a dark gray with black accents. The well-padded cover is a comfortable textured velour with the only mesh being behind the child's head and at the hips. I've been spoiled by other carseat covers that remove from the front without having to undo the harness, but the carseat cover and head wings cover were still easy to remove and put back on for washing. Diono recommends hand washing or a front loader washing machine. Other available covers are made of velour, ultrasuede, or nylon. Colors range from pretty jewel tones to more neutral tones.
Infant Support Cushions: Included with the RXT are separate head and body infant cushions. The head cushion has some padding behind the child's head and caution should be taken to make sure the baby's head doesn't fall forward onto the chest with its use. The body cushion is nicely padded on the sides for positioning and there's not much padding under the bum area.
Head Rest: AKA head wings by most people. The wings are comfortable and just the right distance apart so as not to induce claustrophobia. When a child is rf and using either of the bottom 2 harness slots, the head rest must be moved to the top-most position.
Cup Holders: So, how many cup holders does a carseat need anyway? Four! There are actually 3 slots on each side of the RXT that accept the cup holder, but due to the cup holder's size, only 2 will fit next to each other on each side. One cup holder is included in the box with the RXT, so you'll need to purchase extras if you want more.
8/10 Year Expiration: The RXT has 2 separate expiration dates. When used with the harness, the RXT expires 8 years from date of manufacture (not the date of purchase!). When used as a booster without the harness, the seat expires 10 years from date of manufacture. The manual specifies not to use the seat if it is in a crash.
Airplane Certification: The RXT is FAA-approved for use in aircraft. It also is a heavy restraint weighing in at 26.5 lbs., so if you do travel with it, you'll want to use a luggage cart to avoid having to carry it. The RXT does come with a padded shoulder strap for carrying and I suggest buying another to be able to carry it backpack-style if you intend to carry it. Since the Radian seats are some of the narrowest on the market, you won't have any problems fitting one in a plane seat AND the tray table will be able to come all the way down for a forward-facer. For rear-facing, the Angle Adjuster may make the seat fit depending on the pitch of the seats on the plane your flying. Buying a snack for the person in front of the carseat certainly doesn't hurt ;). Remember that it can only be used with the harness on the plane since belt-positioning booster seats can't be used on planes. Check out this action shot of the shoulder strap in use:
Value: Straps don't twist and the deluxe SuperLATCH connectors are solid. The harnessed expiration date of 8 years is high in the land of convertibles, so this seat will be around your house for a long time. At a MSRP of $339, it's expensive, but the RXT fills a niche nicely.
Construction: The Radian seats are made in China and are solidly constructed with steel supports. The cup holder arms also have some metal in them for security! Even though the carseat folds, it doesn't feel flimsy.
Instruction Manual: Diono jumps on the technology bandwagon and uses QR codes you can scan with your smart phone to see videos of different sections in the manual. It works wonderfully! I had a question about how to route the seatbelt when the RXT is used in booster mode, so I scanned that section's code and watched a video that answered my question. The pictures and drawings in the manual are also top-notch.
Weight: At 26.5 lbs. on my scale (Diono specs list it at 24 lbs.), the RXT is a heavy seat. This is where the steel support comes back to haunt you! Having the carry strap to carry the carseat around makes it much easier to transport it and it's Bailey-approved! Every time the strap was on the floor, my dog went and laid on it, giving it her paw of approval.
Head Rest Doesn't Stay in Place: I had issues with the head wings staying in the top-most position when my dd was sitting in the seat. I had to wiggle them up into position, but as soon as she adjusted the seatbelt or harness and leaned back, the head wings were uncomfortably resting on her shoulders. I wish they adjusted with wing nuts to tighten into place or some other way of clicking into position.
Use As A Booster: I wish, I wish, I wish the Radian could have been a true 3-in-1 carseat since it's great at rear-facing and can hold big kids comfortably forward-facing too. Unfortunately, on the RXT model where the shoulder belt guides are integrated into the head wings, the seatbelt gets caught in between the cover and the belt guide. Belt fit is very good and has a good geometry, but when my dd leaned forward, slack remained in the seatbelt when she leaned back, reminiscent of the boosters from years ago that had the same problem. This happened in all 3 middle row seating positions in my MDX and in my dh's Lexus RX330. Since we know kids move in their boosters and don't always pull the seatbelt tight, it's a big concern if the seatbelt doesn't retract to be snug all the time. I would either lock the retractor so the child can't lean forward or use it as a booster in emergencies only.
OK. Anyone who knows me knows how much installation trouble the previous generation of Radian gave me in my Sienna. But that's water under the bridge now that I have an Acura MDX. Just like any other carseat, there will be times when a Radian fits a vehicle well or is a challenge. The SuperLATCH connectors are differently shaped than their cousins, the "regular" push-on LATCH connectors, so it can be more difficult to push them through stiff upholstery to attach to the lower anchors. I should note at this point that there are clips on the side of the seat that secures the strap that keeps the LATCH connectors attached to the carseat. A couple of times, in my hurry, I forgot to pull that strap out of the clips and it *does* make a significant difference in installation tightness.
Rear-facing: I didn't have any problems installing the Radian rf in either of my vehicles using either LATCH or the vehicle seatbelt. The angle was good, not overly reclined, and installation was tight. The Radian installs at one angle rf: the carseat must be installed with the recline foot attached and no noodles are allowed. Some older rf kids find this to be too reclined and Diono has a solution. The Angle Adjuster "wedge" sits just behind the recline foot and boosts the back of the Radian up so the child is sitting more upright. Because it does alter the angle more upright, Diono specifies that your child should have good head control (like an 8 month old would). A benefit of a more upright angle is two-fold: the bigger child is less likely to ramp up the carseat in a frontal crash and parents will be able to move the front seat back so their knees aren't jammed into the dashboard. The Angle Adjuster does save some serious space—several inches worth—so if your Radian has you jammed up in the front seat, it's money well-spent.
Forward-facing: Here's where I was nervous about the fit in the vehicle. The ff belt path on the Radian is pretty low, in part because there's no base. In the past I've found the seatbelt latchplate tends to hit the edge of the ff belt path and that can cause problems with getting the seatbelt tight. If you can't twist the buckle down to move the latchplate down a bit, a tight installation may elude you. I was able to twist my buckle stalks in my MDX and reposition the latchplate, which made installation a breeze. It's not pretty to look at, but it's very tight. Some folks find that reclining the base changes the angle of the belt path just enough for a successful install. I didn't have to do that in either the MDX or the RX330. The open belt path behind the cover means that you have easy access to either the seatbelt or the LATCH strap to pull tight.
- Weight Limits: The Radians currently have a higher than average rear-facing weight limit, so it will accommodate those extended rear-facers or very large children to a safe age for ff. The high ff weight limit means a wider range of kids will fit the seat for a long time.
- 5 Harness Slot Positions: Allows for a more closely fitting harness on the child. High top harness slots mean the seat can be used harnessed for the tallest child.
- 3 Crotch Strap Positions: Having a choice of crotch strap positions makes the harness more comfortable for bigger kids.
- Low and narrow footprint means it's more likely to fit in tight spots.
- Padded Cover: A thickly padded cover, plus the memory foam in the bum area, makes for a comfy seat.
- Instruction Manual: Don't understand what you're reading? Scan the code and watch a video! How cool is that?!
- Low LATCH weight limits
- Harness Adjuster: It's tug-tug-tug can be frustrating for some used to a smooth adjuster on an infant seat.
- Installation: Often more difficult depending on the vehicle, with a higher learning curve due to the various features.
- Sliding head rest: Having to adjust the head rest up every time my dd sat in the seat was a pain.
- Snug fit of the shoulder belt in booster mode is poor; shoulder belt can get caught leaving slack.
- Relatively expensive and heavy
The Diono Radian RXT is a solid convertible seat with great rear-facing features. Its high height and weight limits accommodate big kids both rear- and forward-facing, yet it takes up less space than many of its competitors. For narrow backseats or 3-across situations, you simply can't beat the width of the RXT. Features like rear-facing tethering, thick padding, and solid construction make the Radian RXT a solid purchase.

Dorland's Wax Medium is a translucent compound of waxes and resin to be mixed with oil paint, powdered pigments, powdered metals, Pearl Ex Pigments, colored sands, dyes, and other compatible fine art materials.
Excellent for cold wax painting and mixed media, and as a protective coating for paintings, wood, plastic, metal objects or photos. Excellent as a protective and permanent sealing medium. Resists cracking and dries more quickly than oil paints used by themselves.
Directions: Thin wax medium to a flowing consistency with turpentine, poppy seed oil or heat.
Dorland's Wax Medium is without doubt the highest quality fine arts medium available. It is intended for artists who desire the greatest possible longevity and permanence of their creations while at the same time preserving quality of tone and conception.
Incredibly versatile its technical applications are practically unlimited. Use for:
Dorland's Wax Medium is a select artist's painting medium compounded from a scientifically balanced formula. This formula was painstakingly evolved from an intensive review of painting techniques. Dorland's Wax Medium is especially intended for artists who desire to insure the greatest possible longevity and permanence fo their creations while at the same time preserving quality of tone and quality of conception. It contains pure fossil earth reinforced with additive waxes, resins, and oils. This translucent, colorless and permanent medium has the plasticity of tube oil colors. It mixes instantly with oil colors, powdered pigments, powdered metals, colored sands, dyes, plastic colors, and other compatible fine art materials. The tremendous "locking up" and isolating powers allows the artist to exploit a great variety of coloring agents with complete freedom of style, technique, and control.
Dorland's Wax Medium is undoubtedly the choicest fine arts medium in its field. It's adaptabilities and technical applications are practically unlimited. It is superior as a painting medium for its translucency, compatibility and permanence. Light is allowed to penetrate the surface, and colors transmitted to our eyes take on qualities of luminosity and clarity not possible with other mediums. When mixed with artist's oils and colors, Dorland's special blend of non-yellowing fossil waxes and resins prove to actually strengthen the paint film against shrinkage and cracking. Dirt, air and moisture are sealed out. When fully dry, the artwork is resistant to heat and abrasion. because of the tremendous "locking up" and isolating powers found in Dorland's Wax Medium, there is little or no chance of muddiness of tone. Even the palette scrapings will possess intensely beautiful tonal values with surprising clarity. Wax paintings have inherent qualities of brilliance and luminosity. These valuable virtues are apparent to a marked degree in paintings executed with this medium.

Theres probaly 3 teams that are interested, most teams in the league already have a featured back. No team will give a 1st round pick for a RB, they will find that out, only LT, Reggie Bush types of backs are 1st rounds. RBs are way to easy to find to have them worth so much. Man to think, we would of had him this year, but Sproles got injured so they didnt want to trade their back up. They will put a first round tender on him, but in the end some team will work out a deal with them so then they will sign him then trade him. I would package McCariens into the deal. They need WRs, and McCariens is a decent #2 WR. Also, we have the #24 open for him, I would love to see that # in our back field come next year! Either him or Marshawn Lynch, they are the only 2 backs I want. Thomas Jones is a UFA, so another team that needs a RB can take him. There are not many teams at all that needs backs, the only ones are, the Packers, Jets, Texans, Browns Though I dont really think the Browns need one that bad, they need a offensive line more and a QB.
The team with the biggest need for a RB is us and the Texans. I seriously doubt the Giants go after a RB, they will have Jacobs as their feature back, and they will pick up a back to be a backup, so they wont get Lynch or Turner, they need CBs more. Im actually worried, that the Giants will take Asante Samuel, I really want him to be a Jet next year too.

Pellow is lauded
To the Journal editor:
Thank you to Chairwoman Deborah Pellow and the Marquette County Board of Commissioners for working so diligently on the severance tax bill to insure that the county, schools and townships received their fair share.
I believe it is important the Marquette county board consider reappointing Commissioner Deborah Pellow to chairwoman for the next year. The county board under the leadership of Ms. Pellow has worked effortlessly and has been instrumental in many needed changes in the county system.
As a township official, I have worked with Debbie for many years. She has held township positions; has been active in the Marquette County Townships Association and the Michigan Townships Association
Debbie understands grassroots government. She recognizes the needs of the county and townships and takes thoughtful, positive action in decision making. Ms Pellow understands the importance of cooperation in the governing of all units.
We need the county board to vote Deborah Pellow for chairwoman of the county board for positive progression and future of Marquette County.
Jean Howe, clerk
Michigamme Township

This morning, I decided to try adagio's vanilla black. I also rinse the leaves -- something I don't normally do with black teas. We'll see if it makes a quality difference.
Then, I'll probably settle down with something else. I still have to have some dan cong oolong.
Oh yeah, and I use timers and occasionally thermometers. (But once I know the temps of the Utilitea pot, it's pretty much academic). And I measure the tea -- but I just use measuring spoons.

I am about to replace my Salter scale with one of the Escali scales on this page:http://www.everythinghome.com/es11pedikisc.html?source=froogle&kw=115-PIf you look down the page you'll see the "Escali 115B Pronto Digital Kitchen Scale" under "Related Items." I chose the 115B at $56 because it has a larger weighing surface (plus all the other good stuff like the tare function, 1 gram or .1 ounce increments, etc.). Often when I weigh larger bowls on my Salter, the bowl doesn't quite fit on the 6 inch platform or the bowl obsures the readout. I like that flat design too.
We picked up a MyWeigh iBalance 5000 a few months back and love it. Granularity is fine, small footprint for storage, flexibility as to what you put things in on top of it.- Ed
It's +/- 0.1g and up to 5.5kg.
I ditched the cheapo $20 Escali I had in favor of the $190 MyWeigh i5500 from oldwillknott (http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=219). It's +/- 0.1g and up to 5.5kg.

5 Tips for Having a Great Culinary Weekend in Calgary
By Dan Clapson
One of the best parts of being able to take a vacation is experiencing the cuisine of another city. Whether you're in Calgary for just the weekend or an entire week, there's never quite enough time to discover all that this city has to offer to your appetite.
Since time is likely of the essence, here are five tips from a seasoned traveler (and eater), myself, to help you make the most of exploring this Western Canadian city with your palate. (Note: tips are applicable to travels elsewhere, but never forget who shared them with you in the first place!)
1. Bring a decent-sized suitcase, but pack light: If you're coming to a city with dining on the top of the agenda, chances are that you're going to want to go check out some artisan shops, farmers' markets and food specialty stores too. That means you'll be buying up any number of edible products to truck back with you. As much as we all want to bring multiple outfits with us for each vacation day, keep your luggage light, with only a couple pair of pants and shoes, leaving lots of room to bring home any goodies. You're here to eat and explore, not to walk down a fashion runway.
2. Get your hands on the local food and drink publications: There are different publications that are heavily geared towards travelers. Although they're informative, these usually lean towards the 'family friendly' side of things. Here in Calgary, City Palate, Avenue Magazine and Culinaire are the three print sources that highlight some of the best of the city's culinary culture. Look to these (readily available in the downtown area in print, and also, online) for food-related information, guides and tips.
3. Start and end your night at the places you most want to eat at: Let's face it. Every time a food lover travels, they have a list a mile long with names of establishments they're hoping to eat at and not all of them will take reservations. A well-seasoned foodie traveler will aim to hit multiple restaurants within one night, so start (early, like 5:30 p.m.) and end (later, like 10:00 p.m) with your top picks. Fill the middle (i.e. peak dinner service) with places you are wanting to check out, but are not dying to. That way, if one spot is too busy, you can just make a note to come by next time you're in town. No tears and a full belly.
4. Have one light meal a day: It saddens me to say this, but even diehard food fans can't eat elaborately for the entire duration of a vacation. Well, maybe some can, but that's not the norm. It can be hard on your stomach, not to mention your wallet. Find a marketplace downtown like Sunterra or Calgary Co-op that offers quality grab and go meal options. Have granola and some fresh fruit for breakfast (if your hotel has a small refrigerator, then all the better! Stock it up!) or a small grain salad for lunch. And, I mean, really, not everything you eat needs to be Instagram worthy? Actually, I take that back. It does.
5. Reach out on social media to businesses you're interested in visiting: This can go for just about any business in the city. It's 2013 and social media is king. From large-scale operations like Big Rock Brewery to Calgary's food trucks and independent restaurants, everyone is all about the interaction when it comes to social media streams. Shooting a tweet out to one of the places you're really looking foward to experiencing may not only get you a friendly response (Calgarians are pretty swell like that), but maybe even a 'hello' from the chef or a behind-the-scenes tour. You never know until you put it out there, right?
Dan Clapson is a food writer and columnist based out of Calgary, Alberta. His published works include restaurant features and chef profiles as well as articles about creating recipes and hands-on culinary experiences. In addition to writing for Food Network Canada and for Avenue and WestJet's up! magazine, Dan spends time with some of western Canada's top chefs in professional kitchens to better appreciate the craft of cooking. In fall 2013, he co-founded Eat North, a food-focused media outlet specializing in Canadian cuisine.
Dan has appeared on the Food Network Canada shows Eat St. and You Gotta Eat Here and contributes to FNC online in his popular blog series, Top Chef Canada: Taking The Challenge Home. He believes culinary culture can be truly appreciated by approaching food from every angle, and his own appreciation of this is reflected in his writing and on his popular blog, Dan's Good Side.
When he's not writing or eating, which is rare, Dan can be found teaching university students how to cook through his free cooking program Start From Scratch. He believes that the food he eats is only as good as the company that surrounds him, which is why he is lucky to have some the best friends in the whole, wide world.

Recovery road was appreciated
Editor, OBSERVER:
I am writing to tell you that I was a resident at the Chautauqua County Home recently after I fell and broke my hip.
I am very grateful to Dr. Fitzgerald for the excellent job he did to fix my hip, and am on the mend at St. Columban's, where they are doing a very good job of helping me recover and where I have lived for the last 10 years. I am very grateful to my family and friends for all the prayers, cards, visits and flowers I received.
The care I received at the County Home was exceptional from all the employees who are very dedicated to their jobs. The social worker, therapist, nursing and medical staff, dietary, housekeeping and the activities coordinator were all so kind and helpful.
May the Lord send His special blessing on each and every one of you and keep the home in the county's hands.

In a post on "hybrid schools" that combine "bricks and clicks," Larry Cuban warns that efficiency isn't the only goal: Schools are not "information factories."
In some ways, the new hybrid schools are fulfilling progressive educators' dream of student-centered learning, he writes. Digital lessons are "hand-crafted to fit students for part of or most of the day," while teachers coach students on what they've learned or teach a few traditional lessons. There are fewer teachers and therefore lower costs.
But techno-enthusiasts' view of public schools is too narrow, Cuban argues.
They equate access to information with becoming educated – more of one leads to more of the other. These very smart people ignore other crucial and purposes public schools have served historically in a democracy. . . What can be as important as students acquiring information? Try socializing the young, developing engaged citizens, moral development, and, yes, even custodial care of the young.
Schools have never been solely information factories; they have been and are social, political, and moral institutions whose job is to help children and youth acquire multiple literacies, enter the labor market well prepared, vote, serve on juries, contribute to their communities, think for themselves, and live full and worthwhile lives.
That criticism may apply to click-only education. While home-schooled children often participate in youth soccer, Little League, the church choir, art classes and other group activities, some parents may let their children grow up as loners.
However, it's not likely that bricks-and-clicks students will go to the same building to learn but never socialize. Do students need to be grouped into classes to learn to be good citizens? Are they more likely to be independent thinkers if they're taught in a group? What do traditional schools do to develop morals that a brick-and-click schools couldn't or wouldn't do?
San Jose's Rocketship schools, charters with a hybrid model, are rated #5 and #15 in the state among schools with 70 percent or more low-income students. Students, predominantly from Mexican immigrant families, significantly exceed state performance goals. These children will be just as able to "live full and worthwhile lives" as traditionally educated children with weaker reading, writing and math skills.

Happy Thanksgrilling!
Happy Thanksgrilling!
It's no wonder consumers are firing up their grills past the summer season and into the cooler holiday months. Whether you choose to fry, smoke or grill a turkey, outdoor cooking options offer superior flavor for holiday meals.
Americans agree that there are many reasons to be thankful for outdoor cooking! In fact, HPBA's 2010 National Poll reveals why consumers are thankful for cooking-out this holiday season - and all year round:
- A New Taste of Tradition: 81% of people agree the leading benefit of outdoor cooking is the taste! Try the superior flavor and crisp texture of grilled, smoked or fried turkey this year.
- Take a Load Off, Dinner's Done!: 67% of Americans say outdoor cooking is number one for its easy preparation and clean up compared to the oven. Cooking outside frees up oven space and food tastes great.
- The Affordable Option for a very Happy Thanksgrilling: Outdoor cooking can minimize cost while maximizing flavor so your holiday celebration won't break the bank. 67% of consumers say that cost savings are key - citing that smoking, grilling and frying provide the full taste satisfaction at lower prices than prepared foods or eating out.
- Holiday Weight Be Gone: Food cooked on the grill can provide healthier meal options compared to oven-cooked preparations (64% of consumers agree, healthier prep is the number one benefit). Try a lean smoking or grilling preparation this holiday and pile on the turkey - guilt free!
- Who Doesn't Love Leftovers?: Leftovers are one of the best parts of the holiday season. Grilling, smoking and frying are easy cooking options to extend the life and taste of leftovers. Check out HPBA recipes to get more from your holiday extras.
The National Turkey Federation (NTF) estimates 46 million turkeys will be cooked this holiday. With grilling, smoking or frying the whole turkey or turkey breast gaining popularity, HPBA and NTF offer tips for a safe and delicious meal:
Safety First
- Check to make sure the grill, smoker or fryer is in working order.
- Be sure to read the owner's manual for safety precautions.
- Stock up on enough charcoal, propane, oil or wood chips needed to cook the meal.
- Be sure to use the grill, smoker or fryer outside only - never indoors - while set-up on a flat, stable surface, preferably on a protective grill pad, and away from any combustible materials.
Outdoor Cooking: Not Just for the Birds!
Everything from vegetables, to grilled breads and stuffing can be prepared out of the oven. Try a fruit cap with sliced or halved peaches, plums, nectarines or apricots.
Grill your ripe fruit of choice for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred and serve warm. Enjoy as a topping to enhance dessert pies, or serve as a standalone dish!
Turkey Time
- Purchase a whole turkey according to the weight recommendations in your grill's, smoker's or fryer's owner's manual.
- Thaw the turkey completely and pat it dry. Cook the bird un-stuffed.
- Brine the turkey for increased flavor and moisture.
- Outdoor cooking times depend on many factors: the size and shape of the turkey, the distance from the heat and the outside air temperature. Allow more time on cold or windy days and at high altitudes. Allow less time in very hot weather.
- Have a food thermometer handy to measure the internal temperature of the bird; the temperature should be 165° F to 170° F in the breast and 175° F to 180° F in the thigh.

Chargers crush GFW
NEW ULM – On Thursday afternoon, Minnesota Valley Lutheran righthander Rick Jensen scattered five hits in a complete game win over Buffalo Lake-Hector/Stewart.
Twenty four hours later, Jensen returned to the mound for the Chargers and bettered his last outing.
Jensen allowed just two hits and fanned five through four innings as the Chargers downed Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop 11-0 in a Tomahawk Conference game.
The game was stopped after five innings because of the 10-run lead rule.
Nick Dewanz pitched the fifth inning for MVL.
Tanner Buettner took the loss for GFW. He went four innings and was charged with seven runs.
Ryan Grunke, Chad Lease, DeAndre Parker and Grant Wilson each had two bits for MVL.
Lease and Wilson each drove in two runs.
"I told the kids after the game that it just showed the conditioning that he (Jensen) has been putting in," MVL coach Jeff Schoenherr said about Jensen's two-day performance. "He has been doing a lot of throwing all winter and his arm is really strong."
Jensen, who has now pitched 13 innings in two days and permitted just seven hits, said that his arm is not sore despite throwing 97 pitches Thursday and 62 on Friday.
"I have been conditioning the arm a lot and keeping it strong for the season," Jensen said. "My arm is still doing fine."
MVL scored all of the runs that it needed in the first inning when it took a 3-0 lead.
Kris Goetzke and Grunke singled before a Justin Bruns sacrifice bunt moved them both into scoring position.
Lease rapped a two-run single and then later scored on a Jensen base hit.
MVL essentially ended the game with seven runs in the fourth inning thanks to four Chargers' hits and five GFW errors.
"This was an ugly day both in the field and weather-wise," GFW coach Jeff Seehafer said. "We decided earlier today that we would try and get a game in because we had no place to put it on the schedule."
Singles from Grunke and Dewanz, three errors on ground balls and a Jake Mielke base hit made it a 7-0 game. A Wilson base hit, a groundout and another error upped the lead to 10-0.
"Errors hurt us," Seehafer said. "We are young and inexperienced and when things go bad sometimes things snowball on you."
The win was MVL's third in a row. "Gaining confidence can go a long way," said Schoenherr.

GroupWise Mobility Service 2.0
Hardware Requirements
- Hardware requirements for the Synchronizer server:
- x86-64 processor
- 2.2 GHz processor; multi-processor system recommended
- Static IP address
- Adequate server memory depending on the number of devices supported by the Mobility server
- 4 GB RAM to support approximately 300 devices
- 8 GB RAM to support up to the maximum of 750 users with as many as 1000 devices
- 45 MB of disk space for the Mobility Service software
- 200 GB of disk space recommended for data storage during system operation
Data storage disk space varies widely depending on the amount of data being synchronized, the number of devices participating in synchronization, the logging level for Mobility Service log files, and other variables specific to your Mobility system implementation.
The largest consumers of disk space are the Mobility database (/var/lib/pgsql) and Mobility Service log files (/var/log/datasync). You might want to configure the Mobility server so that /var is on a separate partition to allow for convenient expansion.
Another large consumer of disk space is attachment storage in the /var/lib/datasync/syncengine/attachments directory.
NOTE: The 200 GB recommendation is appropriate for a Mobility server with a heavy load supporting as many as 750 users with as many as 1000 devices. A Mobility server supporting substantially fewer devices requires substantially less disk space.
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 (64-bit), plus Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3
- PostgreSQL
If PostgreSQL is not already installed on the Mobility server, the Mobility Service Installation program installs it for you.
- Time synchronization among servers
For the most reliable synchronization of time-sensitive items, such as appointments, the Mobility server and GroupWise servers should have their time synchronized as closely as possible. This is especially important on virtual machines.

Arturo Casadevall, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, gained notoriety a few years ago for suggesting that warm-bloodedness — an energy-expensive life strategy — protected early mammals from heat-intolerant fungi and led to their global rise. But as average global temperatures ratchet up, Casadevall hypothesizes, fungi may adapt to warmer temperatures and mammals may lose their body-temperature advantage.

This week, Ghana's high school students inspired a nation. Through partnership with the Ghana-India Kofi Annan Centre of Excellence in ICT, over 40 high school science clubs from across Ghana were selected to compete in the Robotics Inspired Science Education "RISE" initiative in Ghana. This week we saw hundreds of students transformed by their new ability to make robots and program them to do "the wave," navigate through mazes, and track lines and walls using light and sound sensors.
By connecting science theory with hands-on learning, students and teachers explore best practices to strategize, design, build, program and test robots to solve defined real world problems. Students gain valuable team-building, presentation and communications skills, and have a whole lot of fun while pursuing serious science. This week's workshops introduced robotics kits, guidebooks and additional training suggestions in order to inspire Ghanaian youth to pursue science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and careers.
There is no doubt that nearly every sector from agriculture to mining and oil production could benefit from a well-trained work force with strengths in math, science and technology. Ghana's emerging economy will require nothing less. For these reasons, we were pleased to partner with the Embassy of Denmark, Lego Education, mobile communications provider Tigo, Google Ghana, Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, JoyFM, and the Carnegie Mellon University School of Engineering to host workshops and regional competitions.
NASA Senior Robotics Engineer Dr. Ashitey Trebi-Ollennu redefined the notion of "giving back" to his country of birth by demonstrating through his own education and career growth that the sky is the limit for dedicated students. From sharing his personal contributions to the Mars Exploration Rover mission and accomplished academic career to rolling up his sleeves and teaching kids how to begin with robotics, Dr. Trebi-Ollennu has inspired all participants -- students and teachers alike.
Maintaining the momentum of the RISE launch will depend largely on individuals and the private sector who will strengthen the partnership by supporting future workshops and competitions in Ghana, and by volunteering, mentoring, and providing internships. By pooling our collective resources, we can make a major contribution to promoting science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and careers in the sciences as a driver for economic growth and development in Ghana. We welcome you to join our team by contacting the Ghana Robotics Academy Foundation.

Great cotton swabs!
Verified Purchase
Great cotton swabs!
These are much nicer than the generic cotton swabs I was buying previously. And they're organic which is great because regular cotton uses a ton of chemical fertilizers and they spray the plants with toxic defoliators before harvesting. I highly recommend this product.
Good price

love that these are made from organic cotton whitened by hydrogen peroxide (no bleach), have biodegradable paper sticks, and the cardboard packaging is recyclable. They are not as heavily cushioned on the end as Q-tips--otherwise, they would be a perfect product. Now a discontinued product at I-herb.
sturdy qtips

Ten years ago, my family drove out to Chicago to visit my husband's cousin, John Houghtaling. John was a great guy, a former submariner with the U.S. Navy, who had eight children–two of whom became pilots. When he learned I was taking flying lessons, nothing would do but that he give me a copy of a flying simulator program that he had used and enjoyed.
While sightseeing in Chicago we stopped at Meigs Field, and the family good-naturedly let me spend a half-hour watching aircraft take off and land. Meigs went right to the top of my "someday I'll land here" list. Of course you know it never happened. Meigs was bulldozed, and John died in 2003 at the age of 86. Thank you, John, for sharing my excitement at learning to fly. Thank you, Meigs, for giving me something to shoot for as I practiced crosswind landings.
If you have Meigs memories, please share them in the Comments section.

Ecosystem Roles
To the extent that these animals serve as prey, they may impact predator populations. They may also have some affect on the populations of those animals upon which they prey. Because they are frugivorous, it is likely that these animals help to disperse seeds.

Ecologists have come to recognize the vital importance of microbes to the survival of endangered species.the microbiome of trees is changing forest ecology much as the human microbiome now promises to transform the way we practice medicine.
One study found young tropical forests took up 40 percent of the carbon they would ultimately store after 300 years.for instance, looked at forest regrowth on abandoned agricultural land in Panama. Just in the first 12 years of life, Princeton University researcher Sarah Batterman and her co-authors found, these young forests took up about 40 percent of the carbon they would ultimately store after 300 years. It worked out to 79 tons of carbon stored per acre, equivalent to the carbon emissions of an average American car driven 500,000 miles.
