Measuring 25" x 77" x .625", the versatile Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest is a lightweight closed-cell foam sleeping pad. The molded foam ridges increase comfort, while indentations trap warm air.
The self-inflating Kelty Alpine Pad delivers versatility for year-round use. The Alpine Pad offers warmth for cold-weather adventures and a removable layer of closed-cell foam allows you to shed weight for mild-weather backpacking.
Open-cell foam absorbs air to self-inflate. These pads are more comfortable than closed-cell foam and don't have the "bounciness" of air mattresses.
These pads combine the benefits of Air pads, Self-Inflating pads and/or closed-cell foam pads.
Extreme lightweight pads for hikers and climbers who care far more about light weight and small stuff size than they do about comfort.
Thicker pads provide more insulation in cold weather and more cushioning comfort in warm weather.

I'm pretty sure my life would be easier if I didn't have kids. The sacrifices I made would mostly be mine and mostly for my own advantage, not because of a promise I'd made to one of the kids or hopes I had for their future. Without children, I'd have one less (or in my case two) distraction from reaching my goals. Traveling would be less expensive, and it'd be easier to focus on writing if I only had myself to feed.
At the same time, I suspect my life may also be easier if I chose to be a stay-at-home mom. I'm not saying all SAHMs have it easier than working mothers, but I think sometimes that my life would be simpler if I didn't have my work to distract me from keeping house and enjoying my kids.
And yet, I am so grateful and thrilled that I get to have both of those "distractions" in my life.

Russellville Amnesty Program Taking Off
By: Jocelyn Tovar, KARK 4 NEWS
Updated: January 18, 2013
Those who are taking advantage of the amnesty program, like Kathleen Tucker, tell KARK they're thankful Russellville Police are letting them wipe their slate clean.
"Instead of going to jail I was able to go to an officer and speak to him like I'm talking to you," said Tucker. "And he gave me a court date and when I go to that court date I can set up a payment plan or whatever the judge sees fit to pay that off."
Officers said often people are skeptical about the amnesty but they want to reassure people there's no catch.

Made in Alaska: Handcrafted Tiles Add Splash of ColorClay artist Julie Matthews doesn't just make your average cookie-cutter square tilesANCHORAGE - Making ceramic tiles could be a cookie cutter job, but not the way Julie Matthews makes them. She's stamped out occasional six or eight-inch squares, but most of her work has a little more flow to it. "I like the movement it puts into the piece instead of just being square. I think it's more interesting," said Matthews as she carved a flat piece of rolled clay into 15 pieces. Matthews has been working with clay for more than 30 years. "I like the feel of it. I like the way you can work with it and if it's not exactly what you like, it's soft. You can start over, change it again, you can erase," said Matthews. It may be easy enough to fix in the soft stages, but with her puzzle-like pieces it can be tough to get it just right when it comes out of the kiln. "You can do the same thing, the same glaze and it will come out totally different. So that part is frustrating when you put a lot of different steps into a project and the result is terrible." Her studio has a few samples but the best display of her work is her house. Every room has a little splash of her signature ceramic style. "My latest project is a walk-in shower. I really like the effect of the glass block when you look through it and it distorts the tiles, but then you also see the tiles above. It's really fun to get in and take a shower. The colors are so happy and it makes you feel good." There's also a backsplash border in her kitchen and her fireplace is surrounded by tiles glazed with a cloud-like design. Matthews has also done displays for schools around Anchorage like Begich Middle School and Polaris. She also crafted the ceramic sun in downtown that kicks off the Lightspeed Planet Walk.

Central League Swimming: This victory belongs to Ryan's grandfather
RADNOR — Brendan Ryan woke up Friday morning ready to get the Central League championships under way.
He went through his preparations, did his usual visualization the night before and got out of bed Friday ready to get after a league championship.
Then he got news that, in his words, "was like slamming on the brakes:" His grandfather had passed away in the wee hours of the morning. It was with a heavy heart that he competed Friday night. Saturday, though, there didn't seem to be anything weighing him down. Ryan stopped the clock in 52.70 seconds to take the championship in the 100 backstroke on the second day of the meet hosted by Radnor High School.
"That win was for him," said Ryan of his maternal grandfather, Knute Bonner, who died two weeks short of his 88th birthday Friday. "He always told everyone about his grandkids and how good they were at swimming. It was really rough getting back into such a competitive environment, but I had a little extra motivation today."
Bonner, a World War II veteran, and Ryan were very close. The pride the former took in his swimming was one of their tightest bonds.
Bonner also was a prominent figure in the local Irish American community, and Ryan epitomized his flair for performing as a world-class Irish dancer before focusing on swimming full time.
Ryan had the increased pressure of being the top seed in the 100 back. The Haverford swimmer held up under the spotlight, easily separating himself from the field with his aggressive, high-tempo style to win by more than a second over Penncrest's Iago Dall'Orto and Radnor's Ryan Freedman. The spread between those two was .01 in Dall'Orto's favor.
The win in the 100 back was the culmination of Ryan's transformation from the personal difficulty of his grandfather's passing to the competitive realm.
The transition began, as it usually does, with a vestige of the performance side that he gets from grandfather, Ryan donning a banana suit and leading the Fords in their locally famous pre-meet cheer.
"Anyone will tell you that I'm a goofball on deck," Ryan said. "Being here and knowing I have to go from the silly to the competitive is tough. But I like that I can be the banana and the Central League champion at the same time." Continued...
The emotional boost extended to Ryan's freshman sister, Tara. She finished 12th in the 100 back, but more importantly, her time of 1:03.54 was under the automatic cut for the District One meet in two weeks.
The time set by Brendan Ryan was slightly slower than his seed (52.64). Still it was more than a second under the cut for states last season, an event his older brother Shane, the Daily Times Swimmer of the Year, won in county-record fashion.
With a full taper ahead before districts in two weeks, he looks set to enjoy the postseason time drop customarily awaiting swimmers at the end of a long hard season.
Saturday, though, was about the significance of a win as much as anything the clock said.
"I know he's watching somewhere," Ryan said of his grandfather. "It gives me added motivation to know how much he cared for us and just how proud of us he was."

I know it's simplistic to blame the quarterback when a team loses a game. But I wish people would look a little deeper when their team doesn't come out on top. Let's take a look at some of the things that happened on Sunday…
What did YOU expect? I said at the end of the pregame show that I thought they'd lose 31-13. I thought until the last 7:19 that the defense was pretty good, and played well enough to win. Unfortunately, the game lasts sixty minutes, not 52:41.
The defense snuffed out Detroit's opening thirteen play, 72 yard drive with Janoris Jenkins' interception. Then they allowed a fourteen play, 80 yard touchdown drive, just the first of three 80 yard drives the Rams defense allowed on the afternoon. After Detroit's second drive, they had held the ball for 15:45 to the Rams' 5:49 time of possession.
The Rams needed to get a stop in one of the last two drives, but allowed two more 80 yard touchdown drives, one that took 2:26 and five plays, one that took 1:45 and nine plays.
In those two drives, the Lions never faced a third down. The first one had pass plays of 20, 18 and 24 yards to Brandon Pettigrew, and runs of 13 yards and five yards, for a touchdown, by Kevin Smith.
Then after Sam Bradford went 4-6 for 45 yards to set up the lead field goal, the defense allowed pass plays of 20 yards, 20 yards, 5 yards, 3 yards, 9 yards and 18 yards before the winning 5 yard touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Kevin Smith. In the last half of the fourth quarter, the defense had a chance to make a play 14 times, and didn't make one.
On offense; the Rams off-season plan was to have Rodger Saffold at left tackle, competition at left guard, then Scott Wells, Harvey Dahl and Jason Smith. At the beginning of yesterday, they had Saffold, Robert Turner, Wells, Dahl and Barry Richardson. At the end of the game, it was Wayne Hunter, Rokevious Watkins, Turner, Dahl and Richardson.

And let's not overlook that Bradford-- ATE-- the ball on the last play.
What quarterback would not have just thrown the ball anywhere?
Just get rid of it.
I think Bradford is not a quick thinker,
Joe Scott
9:02 am on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
I'm pretty encouraged. Look at the way this team played compared to the last couple of years, and there's obviously dramatic improvement. There were no bonehead false starts on the offensive line; I didn't start to question play selection; the defense came up with turnovers. The only thing I'd question is rushing only 3 linemen late in the game when Stafford had plenty of time to pick the Rams apart. But it's obvious Fisher knows what he's doing.
It's not a good team yet. We need a solid offensive line, a couple of play makers at receiver; we need to show we can stop the run. Maybe Brockers, when he's healthy, will help with that.
Get a few more play makers around Bradford and then we'll see what he can do. Maybe we've got them in Quick & Givens, but they're not there yet obviously.
Bottom line is it's been a long time since I thought the Rams were going to beat a good team, and that happened on Sunday.

Organizers say most veterans are not aware of all the services they are eligible for. They say it's difficult for vets because eligibility differs based on factors such as length and era of service.
Laura Stradley, Director of Monroe County Veterans Service Agency, said, "It's actually quite a challenge for most veterans to find out what all their benefits are because there's not a super connection between the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration, so when people are separating from service they don't really know what all is available to them."
There were more than 45 different veteran services providers on hand at the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center at MCC's Brighton campus.

Purchased this along with my new Silhouette Cameo, wanted to have some vinyl to try it out with. The vinyl is fine, was as pictured and described, has worked well. Love that I don't have to use a mat to cut vinyl with this machine. I've also used Cricut's vinyl, and it's comparable. However, I will say that if you're looking to do a lot of vinyl decals, more than just making a few things for around you're house, you're better off buying it from a sign supplier. The markup on this vinyl is absolutely insane, but some people don't need 30 feet of it - in which case buying it like this makes sense. So, look at your needs, weigh your options. It's the same stuff anywhere you get it.
This is good quality vinyl. Ordered many rolls and all the colors are as described and look like the images on the website.
The product description is for 10 feet of vinyl but I only received 6 ft. After the first order of two rolls and both came back at only 6 ft, I contact customer service and was told they would send a replacement. Replacement was received, but once again the roll is only 6ft long. I have contacted customer service again and am now waiting for a call from someone on this issue. I am curious to see how they intend to resolve it.
I read the description and thought I'd be saving money but when the order cam and they were not the size it had described it turns out no money is saved.
The price for the item was very reasonable and the quality was excellent.
Great value on Silhouette Cameo Vinyl and wide color selection.
Haven't worked with the vinyl yet, but it looks like the same product I buy from my other dealer.
Silhouette products are very extremely easy to work with. Cost effective solution to purchasing vinyl retail.
Happy with this purchase. Have already made many designs and they came out great. Also this is the best price offered on this product.

Kiss Off #14
$2 A6 32p 19g
On the inside cover the author of this zine asserts that 'Kiss Off is a punk rock fanzine'. It contains several references to being a gigs, but the five stories in this zine are more about the in-between parts of punk lifestyle, which tries to negotiate a space at once part of and apart from the rest of the 'public'. The stories revolve around social interaction in the lead up and aftermath of Toronoto's G20 protests. "It was such an overwhelming feeling of dislocation that lingered throughout the weeks that followed. When the bulletproof men and women and their shiney boots finally left the city, what was left behind? Everything felt rearranged after. What remained seemed to be extremes of emotion, insomnia, dizziness, loss of appetite, and panic…"

Letters to a Sister
$2.50 A5 40p 57g
I've struggled to write a description for this zine because it feels wrong to reduce Amanda's grief to a blurb that will help hock zines. About a year ago Amanda's sister passed away and this is Amanda's incredibly brave and sad story about life in the aftermath.
Marrickville Pipes
$1 A6 32p 22g
A typological survey of the drainpipes in a small area of Marrickville, Sydney. Now, that may sound about as scintillating as, well, a book about pipes, but it's really not as bonkers as it seems. This isn't your average poorly conceived 'art zine'. The photocopied photographs have a great tonal quality, and there's no text except for a short dedication. When you consider the rapid rate of gentrification in Sydney's inner-west, simple studies such as this take on a real importance.

Mum Liked Her Tea in a Fine Bone China Cup
$7 A5 (with stitched vinyl cover) 8p 44g
This is Bertievan's first ever zine, but you'd think she's been making them her whole life if you didn't know better. The zine is a short essay based on her mother's handwritten diary from 1956. It's housed in an elaborate slip case made of old wallpaper with an image from a recipe book sewn onto the cover.
FREE A5 16p 22g
Mutiny is a collectively edited zine from Sydney that documents local and international anarchistic ideas and actions. It's inspirational both for its content and its editors' dedication: an issue has been released every month for a little over the past three years. Mutiny is free, but hit 'buy' to add it to your cart. Use the 'note to merchant' option to specify if there are particular issues that you'd like.
Nearly Healthy
$3 A6 80p 53g
I have to admit that part of my inspiration for writing this zine was reading an issue of Brainscan and thinking: you know, I just want to write a zine that's really chunky that you can't read in one five-minute sitting. Nearly Healthy is about some of my experience with depression and anxiety, work and art, wanting to change the world and feeling that it's impossible, and the inevitable questions that all these things generate. To quote Luke's review on Broken Pencil (July 14 2010): 'For me this zine is a masterpiece. It is difficult, heartbreaking, beautiful, wonderful, personal, revealing, at times hopeful and at times bleak. This is a really substantial, serious and important work of art.'
Old Memory
$3 15x15cm 44p 43g
Following on from Village Ghosts zine (see elsewhere in this catalogue), Old Memory is a collage zine collecting images of ruins and quotes from various bibliographic sources to complement a series of short pieces of writing in which the author remembers some of the rooms that they grew up in. The tone, like Village Ghosts and the author's other zine A Fresh Trail of Paper, is melancholy and weighted with a sense of loss and nostalgia. The zine gets you thinking about the effects that time has on both memory and the physical landscape.

We're pretty happy with SVN right now, but Joel's tutorial intrigued me. So I was wondering - would it be feasible in our situation too?
The thing is - our SVN repository is HUGE. The software itself has a 15 years old legacy and has survived several different source control systems already. There are over 68,000 revisions (changesets), the source itself takes up over 100MB and I cant even begin to guess how many GB the whole repository consumes.
The problem then is simple - a clone of the whole repository would probably take ages to make, and would consume far more space on the drive that is remotely sane. And since the very point of distributed version control is to have a as many repositories as needed, I'm starting to get doubts.
How does Mercurial (or any other distributed version control) deal with this? Or are they unusable for such huge projects?
Added: I also asked this on StackOverflow and there are some interesting answers there.

Mary Katherine Murphy
Staff Reporter
Sarah Brown brings her childhood affinity for plants and home grown vegetables to her new position as Scotland County Cooperative Extension's community garden director.
"I have always done some form of gardening or grown plants," Brown said. "I love to grow my own food; as a kid I remember growing my own vegetables and fruit and just seeing how cool it was to go outside and pick a strawberry out of the garden and eat it, or a tomato. It always seemed to taste better than what was at the grocery store."
Brown, a native of Wilmington, replaces former community garden coordinator Melissa Tomas, who has moved out of state. She holds a degree in biology from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke with concentrations in botany and environmental science.
The position is part of a five-year Community, Youth, and Families at Risk grant from the Cooperative Extension Program at N.C. A&T State University. The program began two years ago, with grants extended to three North Carolina counties: Scotland, Durham, and Bertie.
"The idea of the grant was to find pockets in North Carolina that have a need for self-sustaining food systems, or gardens, and we were one of three counties selected in the state," said Randy Wood, Scotland County Extension director. "The biggest portion of it is having someone like Sarah who goes out and tries to keep these gardens going."
Current projects in Scotland County include the Wagram community garden and a garden conducted at Wagram Primary School last year, with an upcoming garden project within the Laurinburg Housing Authority. This fall, school garden programs will also be implemented at North Laurinburg Elementary and Washington Park Elementary.
In addition to exposing more Scotland County residents to basic gardening skills, Brown's work will also focus on expanding their awareness of nutrition.
"She will also conduct educational programs with the gardeners seasonally, with what to look for and how to prepare for planting in the next season, and bringing classes of interest in," said Sharon English, Family and Consumer Sciences extension agent. "She'll be bringing some more nutrition-based classes to them in the next year with ways that they can utilize the produce that they're growing in healthy ways."
Brown recently completed an Extension master gardener program in Robeson County, and hopes in more than one way to bring a taste of her own experiences to Scotland County residents, especially children.
"That's one of the things that drew me to this, giving kids the same experience I had when I was little," she said. "Showing them what it's like to go outside and pick food and eat it and helping people understand that they can grow their own food - there's nothing better than a ripe tomato. Sometimes it's challenging, having to deal with the insects and different plant diseases and whatnot, but it can be very rewarding."
Brown hopes to make fresh fruits and vegetables more accessible by facilitating hands-on experience.
"Trying to help people eat healthier, that's a really big thing for me," said Brown. "A lot of people think that healthy food is nasty - people don't want to eat green things. So whenever you can have a healthy society, where people are eating and getting the nutrients that they need through fresh fruit and fresh vegetables, that's really something."

Design Article
SLC vs MLC: Which works best for high-reliability applications?
Charlie Cassidy, TeleCommunication Systems
Industrial, military, and avionic applications impose very different demands in terms of environmental stresses, data endurance requirements, and expected usable life compared to consumer products such as USB thumb drives, memory cards for digital cameras, or even SSDs for consumer laptops and tablets. We'll examine those tradeoffs, with an emphasis on how they affect the reliability of storage targeted at industrial, military and avionic applications.
Flash cell operation
Before discussing the differences between single-level cell (SLC) and MLC NAND flash, it is important to understand what makes up a flash cell. Each cell consists of a single transistor, with an additional "floating" gate that can store electrons (see figure 1).
The cell operates as follows. For reading, the gate is electrically disconnected. The conductivity between the source and drain is then a function of the amount of charge on the floating gate. A voltage difference is set up between the drain and the source, Vd – Vs and is varied to determine the threshold voltage Vt when current flows between source and drain. The threshold voltage represents the amount of charge on the gate. A large amount of charge is used to represent logic '0,' and a small amount of charge used to represent logic '1.'
Writing is done by applying the programming voltage Vp to the gate and grounding the channel, which sets up an electric field such that electrons are attracted to the surface of the channel. Some of these collide or encounter the barrier with enough energy to tunnel through the insulating layer. These electrons are captured by the floating gate. Erasing is the opposite operation, with the gate grounded and with Vp applied to the channel to create an electric field with the opposite polarity. This attracts electrons back to the channel, many of which will have enough energy to cross the insulating barrier. This process is called Fowler-Nordheim Tunneling.
This explains one of the key challenges of flash technology—while it's easy to attract electrons to the floating gate one cell at a time, it's difficult to get them to leave. Reversing the process requires putting the channel at a voltage that could disturb adjacent cells, since the channel is common to many cells. For this reason, flash is erased in blocks, not a word or bit at a time. The blocks are sized by the flash manufacturer in order to balance silicon area (since each erase block carries a fair amount of overhead circuitry) and ease of use. Because of the logic structure of NAND flash, the flash must also be written or read in fairly large pages, typically 1 K to 4 KB. These pages are written from or read to a page buffer, from which individual byte reads or writes are done. Each erase block contains between 32 and 128 pages.
This also helps explain why flash cells can only be written a limited number of times before they wear out. While many of the electrons travel with enough energy to cross the insulating oxide, some have enough to cross the barrier between the channel and oxide, but not enough to go all the way to the floating gate. These get trapped in the oxide. With each write/erase cycle, more electrons get trapped, which reduces the conductivity difference between the "programmed" and "erased" states. We will discuss this further when we talk about the endurance differences between SLC and MLC.
FYI: the table discribing the 3-bit MLC has tex errors and pattern "100" is listed twice.
Further , pattern 001 is missing.
Kristin Lewotsky
Good catch--that's what I get for focusing on the text of the article rather than the graphics. I communicated with the author and we are in the process of getting an updated version of the table. Look for a revised version by tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience and apologies for any confusion.
Ok, maybe the answer is obvious to me because I have been working closely with NAND for the last 10 or so years...Clearly SLC has wider margins and can thus tolerate more degradation than MLC. Clearly SLC will give a huge reliability advantage.
You can sometimes use MLC parts as if they were SLC parts. Many MLCs write two adjacent pages into the same cells, so if you only write every second page you can sometimes achieve SLC-like reliability in MLC.
This opens up the possibility to do things like using MLC for the cost benefit, storing critical code etc in the fake-SLC area and less critical data/code in the regular MLC area.
NAND is goofy stuff.For example most electronic parts tend to be more reliable at the lower end of their temperature range. NAND, OTOH, is often more prone to errors at lower temperatures.
One failure mechanism you missed is read disturb. Yes, even reading NAND can corrupt data. That is particularly relevant to MLC. This has particular implications for static data like boot code which is typically not rewritten during the lifetime of the product but is read (and slowly corrupted) on every boot cycle.
If you want to ensure that your NAND-based solutions are robust, ensure that the software you are using with it (file systems, boot loaders, etc) have mechanisms to mitigate against the bad side of NAND.

Charlie, really enjoyed reading your article here. The differences between SLC and MLC Flash have been a topic for discussion for quite some time and as a flash industry professional, we are constantly trying to mimic the advantages of SLC Flash in our MLC-based Solid State Drives. To add to your article, I would also like your readers to consider certain new endurance enhancement technologies that can substantially increase the native endurance and bolster reliability in MLC Flash devices. These types of innovations are blurring the lines between the SLC and MLC output and is making MLC a viable option for even the most write intensive application. Check out this white paper as a great resource for this type of technology on our website: http://smartstoragesys.com/pdfs/WP003_Guardian_Technology.pdf.

I have a feeling that explanation of wear mechanism is little wrong. As far I know the problem is not with trapped electrons, electrons could be always moved with force (apropriate voltage) but each time when memory is programmed or erased, move of electrons degrades the isolation properties of oxider.

New details about a man impersonating a police officer here in Kansas.
It's a story we first brought you last week.
Police believe they've identified a suspect.
Chief Gordon Fell of Belle Plaine Police says they believe Robert W. Helms has been impersonating police and cashing fradulent checks all over the state.
Helms is wanted and has a criminal history of forgery, theft and kidnapping.
Police have video of him passing the checks off at various businesses all over the state.
They estimate there are at least 25 cases pending.
They consider these crimes very serious.
"We're getting contact from our law enforcement friends from all over the state that appear to be victims of this same individual. He's presenting himself obviously as a law enforcement officer and he feels very comfortable in doing so," says Gordon Fell, Chief of Belle Plaine police.
In some instances Helms flahed a fake badge and disploayed a gun. Police consider him armed and dangerous and don't want anyone to confront him. Anyone with information is asked to call the police.

5 words of wisdom for trading metals
One of the questions we hear most often is, "What does it take to be a successful trader?" George Gero shares five tips for success in this preview to May's Trading 101 article.
Gold ETF outflows drag on metal as holdings drop to 4-year low
As inflation is low and equity markets are rising, gold-backed ETP investors have been rotating out of gold. The SPDR Gold Trust holdings dropped to a four-year low to 1,041 metric tons yesterday.
Tap into oil volatility using an options spread
Over the past week crude oil prices have been rocked by conflicting macroeconomic data and a suspected price-fixing scandal, leaving many investors questioning the validity of current price levels. Tap into that volatility with a put spread.
S&P 500 marches higher in face of "Fedspeak"
Overall, the bull market frenzy is picking up and we still believe the E-mini S&P 500 will finish this year at 1690 or higher.

Justice is not an add-on to Christianity. God is interested in everyONE. He cares about every living person that ever was and ever will be. That includes our friends, parents, children, neighbours, and professors, as well as prisoners, postemen, the leader of your country and the starving child in Africa.
So what does God's relentless love for each of us mean for how we're supposed to live? And what does this have to do with social justice? Jesus came to earth not only to bring salvation, but also to show us how to live. Rather than live on earth for 3 days, He lived and walked among us for 33 years creating a new order. He showed us how to raise disciples and create a new culture of administering justice.
The purpose of I-HEART is to be a part of building this culture of administrering justice across the earth. In addition to the I-HEART film, the I-HEART curriculum goes deeped into the discussions brought about through the film. Broken into 7 sessions, the I-HEART curriculum, using elements of the film, provides youth ministries, young adult groups, Churches and small groups a tool to help build this culture into the fabric of their daily lives.
The Starter Pack includes:
1 x Leader's Guide
5 x Workbooks
We're All In This Together Social Justice Documentary
Public Performance License for up to 100 people
Film Event Planning Guide

LAURINBURG —A 17-year-old wrestler in Scotland County who attended St. Pauls High School until recently died Monday afternoon during a training session after school.
Tavarius Hall, a student at Scotland County High School, was taking part in an off-season workout when he began to have trouble breathing, school officials said. He collapsed shortly afterward and was administered CPR by bystanders, according to Mike Edge, assistant director for the Scotland County Emergency Services.
Hall was in full cardiac arrest when Scotland County paramedics arrived about seven minutes after the 5 p.m. 911 call, Edge said. He was taken to Scotland Memorial Hospital, where he died.
The junior had a current physical and was cleared to participate in the wrestling program's off-season conditioning session, according to schools spokesman Andy Cagle. A trainer was also on-hand during the session, Cagle said.
"We ensure the safety of all of our student athletes, and all proper procedures were in place," Cagle said. "This is a terrible tragedy, and any time you lose a student it's bad for both the school and the community."
Scotland senior Aatianna Williams remembers Hall fondly, having sparked a friendship with him during their time in junior high at Spring Hill Middle School. That friendship would continue when Hall returned to Laurinburg from St.Pauls, where he attended high school from ninth to 11th grades, only recently transferring.
"I remember being around all of my friends when we were younger, and he was always dancing, singing and making everyone laugh," Williams said. "I've seen him every day since he came back to Scotland, and he would always stop me in the halls to ask how I was doing. With him gone, it just shows me that you should let everyone that's important in your life know how much you appreciate them, because you never know when God will take them away."
The mood was somber at Scotland High on Tuesday. All off-season workouts for wrestlers have been cancelled for this week. According to Cagle, 10 counselors are on campus to help students deal with the tragedy.
St. Pauls High School counselor Jeneane Roberson, who met Hall in his ninth grade year and kept a close relationship with him until he transferred to Scotland High about a month ago, said he was a special student and a "little person with a big heart."
"He was the type of student that no matter what was going on in his life, he was upbeat and always trying to make people smile," she said. "… He was unique in the way that no matter what the style was, he had his own style. The kids and I joke now that he had a pair of skinny jeans and a pair of Converses for every day of the week."
Roberson said that Hall loved to sing and was known as the "Kirk Franklin of St. Pauls High" in honor of the Grammy-winning gospel music singer.
"He just stood out — it's hard to explain," she said. "He had a glow that drew you to him. I don't think anyone can say anything bad about him."
Robeson said students were asking why Hall had to die so young.
"Sometimes God uses the great people to get your attention because he was a great person on the campus," she said. "He was a quiet leader … . He wasn't really loud or outspoken but when he did speak, he had something positive to say."
Matthew Anglin, wrestling coach at St. Pauls High, said Hall had a "very bubbly personality," and that "if he didn't know you, he'd get to know you quick."
Anglin said Hall began wrestling in his ninth-grade year, and though he struggled at first, he became a "leader on the mat" and had one of the best records at the school.
"One of his biggest goals this year was to become the first state champion. He really enjoyed working with the team, and even though he was at Scotland he was planning on coming with us to a pre-season tournament," Anglin said.
Stephon Graham wrestled with Hall at Scotland High.
"If I finished last in a running drill, Tavarius would tell me that I could do better if I put the effort in, and that always helped me feel better," Graham said. "He was the guy who gave more than 100 percent effort from what I saw, and even encouraged the older kids to step up their effort too. I couldn't believe it when I heard he had died."
Scotland middleweight wrestler Clifton Taylor had spoken to Hall shortly before Monday's workouts began.
"We had a conversation in the lunch room about practice and getting ready for the upcoming season that same day," Taylor said. "It was one of only a couple times we spoke, but Tavarius seemed like an outgoing and truly good person."

I'm envisioning:
* wireless charging - just set the phone on the right surface
* wireless keyboard and mouse (bluetooth is sufficient, I guess)
* wireless display (isn't Intel working on this?)
* wireless networking
This way I only have to walk up and set my phone down, the screen comes alive, I grab the mouse and I'm online before I can click anything.
I perhaps should explain "wireless networking" - I'm wanting a wifi connection, or even shorter-range connection, that gets me from my phone to a wired link. A mini-WAP that perhaps integrates into the monitor and has a cat5 cable heading to the LAN.
I definitely don't want to be plugging in and unplugging a million wires, prefereably zero! And I don't want cell-data speeds or charges to apply when I'm "docked" - it's got to be dead simple.

Essex County to President Obama: We Need Fuel
Essex County executive and Gov. Chris Christie have conference call with President Barack Obama post-Sandy.
According to one elected official, one positive development in the aftermath of post-Sandy is the partnership between Republican Gov. Chris Christie and President Barack Obama, a Democrat.
On Thursday, two days since Hurricane Sandy tore through the Northeast devastating parts of New Jersey, the two leaders had a conference call. Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr., said he was part of the call and said the federal government has been receptive to the state's needs.
"I was thanking the president and the governor for their leadership," said DiVincenzo, whose county largely remains without power. "The governor's staff has been extraordinary. It's been a great partnership."
DiVincenzo said besides pledging help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, whose representatives have already arrived in New Jersey, the county executive said the president was receptive to the county's other need: more gasoline.
"We need fuel here," he said he told the leaders. "There are a lot of people on generators, including hospitals and emergency services."
DiVincenzo said a lack of electrical power has limited the number of gas stations that can pump gas. "We have long lines throughout the county of people trying to get fuel."
The county executive had a piece of advice for residents: Conserve as much fuel as possible until we get the power on.
Though power restoration seems to be eeking along at a snail's pace, he said on Thursday the number of people without power was reduced from 270,000 to 133,000. "We're moving in the right direction," he said. "(Still) all towns have power outages."
DiVincenzo said he's had daily meetings with the power companies that serve Essex County and even though they are working around the clock, many essential services are relying on generators.
In other county news, the shelter at Codey Arena has been moved to the education building at Turtle Back Zoo. Residents are welcome to come to the zoo to stay warm, he said. On Thursday, there were 15 people at the shelter.
DiVincenzo also said the county was still trying to assess the extent of the damage countywide. County parks remained closed for safety reasons and repairs were needed to the roof of the Veterans Courthouse, which blew off during the storm. In addition, he said the ziplining course at the zoo was destroyed and several trees also fell at the zoo.
However, he said county buildings had reopened to serve the public.

Get the power on! If there's power three blocks from me a day shouldn't pass without me having it! Yet that's what is happening.
Concerned Citizen
1:38 pm on Friday, November 2, 2012
People have had power on the street next to me since day one and not one of them have offered to help their fellow neighbors. We're freezing and we're tired of eating bread and chips. This is America!! What is going on here? We live in one of the wealthiest areas of the country and yet we're being treated as though we're not even citizens. If this is how bad it gets for one hurricane, what will it be like when the big snow hits?
Lori W.
4:32 pm on Friday, November 2, 2012
We are without power as well. But they are working on it everyone!! I know how frustrating it is cause I'm dealing with it too. There are people around my area that have power. It all depends on where the problem is on whether or not you or your neighbor has power.
One hurricane could have done a hell of a lot worse than it has. Look at all the people who have lost homes or loved ones! I would say being in the cold a little longer than my neighbor is not so bad. Shame on the one's who aren't so helpful for those like us who don't have power.
It's sad to see people panic and be so selfish all around us. Let's not yet worry about the big snow...lets get through today!!
5:16 pm on Friday, November 2, 2012
I don't fault those who have but do not share. It's just bad upbringing. However I went on to Hotels.com to book a room from my brother who lives in Maplewood and is still without power. The Capri Inn was $910/tax included for one night! REALLY! It seems people have no conscience! I hope for the sake of all whom are suffering in Maplewood that power is restored sooner than later! God speed

Baja California Sur
On Saturday, we boarded a plane and landed in La Paz, Mexico, where we're enjoying a long weekend in this seaside desert region. I'll be back later in the week with pictures and travel tips but for now, here is what I'm loving:
eating the best fish tacos
swimming in the sea of cortez
combing through shops searching for handmade treasures
challenging myself to sample as many paletas as possible
tequila tasting
This is all another way of saying that there will be no webisode tomorrow but we'll be back next week with one of my favorite workday lunches. Stay tuned!

Prompted by one of the blogs in the vivier/cordoba/amelia stable (I forget which) I bought 'Paletas' by Fany Gerson and have so far tried the horchata pops, the sour cherry pops and the strawberry pops - strawbery being my fave so far. The image on your blog is great.

What you get
With fourteen fixtures in the season, Kelso is the home of National Hunt Racing, and its race goers are made to feel really welcome.
The racecourse is steeped in history, tradition, and utter respect for the sport and (much the same as Cheltenham, only smaller) has large, solid steeple chase fences and a long, punishing, uphill run-in. Consequently, many trainers use the January and February meetings as a trail for the National Hunt festival and Aintree, bringing top-grade jumpers to the Borders' premier racecourse.
Horse racing at Kelso offers the unique charm of a bygone era, coupled with the very best in modern facilities. Add to this the friendliness of our staff and patrons, plus superb high quality National Hunt Racing in very picturesque surroundings and you have the reason for Kelso's reputation as Britain's Friendliest Course.
