this school was my favorite school this was the school i grew up from for 6 yrs i been to this school and i miss it dearly form first grade where i made my first girlfriend been together for 4 yrs i been at ridgemont the first official day was the day it snowed in houston i remembered it like it was yesterday december 4th 2009 my 6th grade year when it snowed here in houston see i was a student here at ridgemont elementary school.my 2nd grade year wen i used to be the badest student at that school that changed when 3rd grade year entered i was on medication for a full 3 years fourth grade i lost my girl deeply i was sad but i got over it fifth grade year was the year that was important year in my life 2008-2009 hurricane ike hits houston/galaveston september 12/13 2008 no school for one week i couldn't believed that happened at the beginning of my fifth grade year i left ridgemont in 2010 at age 12 i was sad that i was leaving my memories behind and that school and my memories will be at that school forever and ever and ever i really miss this school and all my friends and the girl i had for a good 4 yrs my name is drejon williams and been at ridgemont since 2004 and i miss it so.
I have always loved this school. I have 3 children who attend from 1st grade to 6th grade. I havent had anything bad to say about this school until now. The one complaint that I have is about the newest principle Mrs. White. She is not a easy person to deal with. I have been to the school several times to talk with her about different situations I have had over the past school year and she is first of all hard to catch up with and second of all an uncomfortable person to converse with. Her styles of running the school are very 'un-fun' for the kids. My children use to love to go to school but since she has started being the principle she has taken so much away from the students.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think you are looking at this wrong...
Yes, asking a priest to respec to Shadow, or a paladin to respec to retribution is fairly unreasonable... That's a total role change, a UI change, a gear change, and a whole mindset change.
But it is not by any stretch unreasonable to say to your hunter "Look, we need you to respec to survival so we can get replenishment"
Bring the player, not the class, does not apply to changing from one DPS spec to another IMO. Bring the player not the class should not mean that you are able to clear raid content if all your DPSers are in PvP DPS specs.
Re-do your math to the following...
What are the odds of not having a Hunter, a Shadow Priest, or a Retribution Paladin in your raid? NOW you are seeing it like Blizzard is seeing it.
If a person has a bad spec, or would be more beneficial to the raid in another spec that still fulfills the same role, it's hard to say that is an unreasonable request of a guild to make.
That's an ideal situation where people don't mind switching specs; but again, if your hunters don't want to spec Survival because they think it's not good or simply because they don't like it, you're screwed. Same with priests who don't care for DPSing (someone rolling a class without a desire to DPS, imagine that) or that paladin who wants to stay holy (or prot) because you need them in that role.
There are plenty of holes in Ghostcrawler's assessment that Replenishment is available all over the place, and that's why there's a risk they're just fooling themselves (again).
The Scarlet Mathematician said...
Ah, a chance to live up to my nick.
I actually ran some more accurate numbers on this. I pulled data from Armory Musings (http://armory-musings.appspot.com/reports), put it into a spreadsheet, then calculated the percent of the DPS population that has access to replenishment. It comes out to about 11%. Then, (using a Monte Carlo simulation because I am lazy) I approximated the percent chance that 5, 10, and 25 man parties would randomly have a replenishment class. The results were as follows:
5-man - 3 DPS slots - 28% chance
10-man - 6 DPS slots - 50% chance
25-man - 15 DPS slots - 82% chance
Just for grins, I did what you suggested, and recalculated, assuming that a guild could easily force a hunter to switch specs. Those probabilities came out like this:
10-man - 6 DPS slots - 78% chance
25-man - 15 DPS slots - 98% chance
I'm working on a more thorough analysis with a more accurate data pool, but that will take a bit more time to assemble.

Lady Gaga Visits Ill Friend at the Hospital
Lady Gaga is a good friend. The singer took time out of her incredibly packed, Iron Woman schedule for something way more important. She visited an ill friend in the hospital, and was photographed by paparazzi while doing so. Shame on them for snapping the Mother Monster during what appears to be a difficult time.

I have a BowTech D350 and I am wondering how many guys hunt with no string silencers just string suppressors? It sounds pretty quiet when I shoot but it's hard to tell. The specs are in my signature. Thanks.

Put some type of string suppressor on whether it be string leeches, monkey tails, or bowjax and there will be a difference.
If my hunting bow is loud enough imo I put catwhiskers on...most of my bows are pretty quite without using them..most of the noise comes from my dropaway rests...not much you can do about that..
They are not neccessary with today's bows.
I have Monkey tails on mine, I've got them right tight to the speed nocks.....quieted it down quite a bit.

Thanks for the replies. I have some monkey tails and cat whiskers so I guess I will experiment alittle.
2011 Bowtech Destroyer 350
I always try to avoid any sinencers on my stings if the bow is quiet enough to begin with.
BTW, Destroyers are very sensitive to any weight on their strings.
I cut my arrows twice and they're still too short.
You cannot hit what you cannot see.
Made a huge difference on my GT-500. Havent put them on the SR-71 as it is pretty quiet without them.

Skeeter, do you mean sensitive as in speed loss or tuning issues?
2011 Bowtech Destroyer 350
there is a video on YouTube a guy shoots a bow with and without monkey tails you can clearly hear the difference
I use them. I want my bow as quiet as possible.

Don't use them, only rubber deals are on the cable slide and the limbs but are stock so will keep them on.

Use speed nocks, they dampen vibration of the string and increase speed by 4-8 fps. Place them 4" from the axle measured on the diagonal. I usually end up using four but start with two, chrono the bow, if faster or same add a nock, if faster or same add another until you get gain in speed. When adding one slows the bow, take it off and leave the rest.
This does quiet the string by reducing vibration and increases speed. I use the large nocks with red cushioning.
Thanks for the tips everyone.
2011 Bowtech Destroyer 350
With today's bows I don't believe its really necessary anymore but then again its all personal preference. Bottom line is if you like them and want them then put them on!

I'm not bustin' on you I'm just making the point people shot 300's and killed all kinds of critters before the drop away and D-loops and even before light carbon arrows were around......sure all the stuff gives you slight advantages but your hunting skills are by FAR the most valuable asset not the equipment.
Many folks would be better served spending the extra time in the woods rather than worrying about what's on the bow.

I dont use any string silencers anymore. A few years back I always did but I dont bother with todays newer bows.

a. Create a new program named
date.rb. Copy or type in something like the "Hello, World" program and make sure you can run it. Let the program say "Hello, date" to ensure you are running the correct program.
b. Following the example in Section 2.5, write a program that creates variables named
month and
day will contain the day of the week and
date will contain the day of the month. Assign values to those variables that represent today's date. What type is each value?
c. Print (
puts) the value of each variable on a line by itself. This is an intermediate step that is useful for checking that everything is working so far.
d. Modify the program so that it prints the date in standard American format:
Friday, May 12, 2006
e. Modify the program again so that the total output is:
American format: Friday, May 12, 2006 European format: Friday 12 May, 2006
The point of this exercise is to use print statements or string interpolation to display values with different types (
Integer and
String), and to practice developing programs gradually by adding a few statements at a time.
a. Create a new program called time.rb. From now on, I won't remind you to start with a small, working program, but you should.
b. Following the example in Section 2.8, create variables named
minute and
second, and assign them values that are roughly the current time. Use a 24-hour clock, so that at 2 p.m. the value of hour is 14.
c. Make the program calculate and print the number of seconds since midnight.
d. Make the program calculate and print the number of seconds remaining in the day.
e. Make the program calculate and print the percentage of the day that has passed.
f. Change the values of
minute and
second to reflect the current time (I assume that some time has elapsed), and check to make sure that the program works correctly with different values.
The point of this exercise is to use some of the arithmetic operations, and to start thinking about compound entities, such as the time of day, which are represented with multiple values. Also, you might run into problems computing percentages with
Integers, which is the motivation for floating-point numbers in the next chapter.
HINT: You may want to use additional variables to hold values temporarily during the computation. Variables like this, that are used in a computation but never printed, are sometimes called intermediate or temporary variables.

FBI Occupy surveillance exposed | Rhetoric and reality of Obama's inaugural speech
PLUS: People fight back against NYPD's brutal anti-gay violence
Having trouble playing the audio? Download the audio file here.
Documents recently obtained by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund detail FBI surveillance of the Occupy Wall Street movement in close cooperation with the private sector. Civil rights attorney Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, the executive director of the PCJF, discusses the serious implications for civil liberties of this intelligence operation and the historic role of the FBI in targeting and suppressing grassroots movements.
Evoking the memory of historic struggles for equality and civil rights, Obama's inaugural speech sought to associate his administration with the progressive causes of our time — but is there any real merit to this? Richard Becker explores the real record of Obama's first term to expose the White House's reactionary agenda and what we can expect from Washington in the coming period.
Activists and community members are taking to the streets against police brutality following the senseless beating of Jabbar Campbell by anti-gay NYPD cops. Liberation Radio covers the community march and rally demanding justice, and speaks to Campbell about this latest incident of violence in the hands of police that is not the exception, but rather the rule.

NTN Singletrack Membership Update
Dear Trail User,
Despite the fact that many people have started to call 2014 the 'year without a summer' it has been a great year so far for those of us here in Marquette that love to use trails.
The NTN has completed some great new trails highlighted by the Carp-EH-diem trail along the Carp River in the South Trail system and the Collinsville extension on the north side. We also opened a dual slalom course, a new beginner to intermediate dirt jump trail and have continued to make upgrades to several of the free ride trails on the Benson Grade. Just as exciting, at long last we have broken ground on the South Trailhead pavilion and should have the facility completed by the end of September. The icing on the cake, of course, is the recognition of Marquette as an IMBA Ride Center. The NTN partnered with the Range Area Mountain Bike Assoc. to create the 'Marquette County Ride Center' which is currently designated at the Bronze level. This recognition 'certifies' Marquette as a legitimate mountain bike destination with trails for all rider types.
The only real downside of all this progress is that it comes with a price tag. Along with our core volunteers, we've kept 3 paid workers in the woods the whole summer. This expense, along with fuel and maintenance on our machines, and the materials used to build all the needed bridges and boardwalks have really added up and our trail fund is nearly depleted. We also plan to groom singletrack for snow biking again this winter and will need funding to deliver the type of product that people have come to expect. We've held events to raise money and written grant requests; we've solicited sponsorships from lots of local businesses and we've worked to build partnerships that help bring in additional funds. At this point our last significant untapped source of revenue is the trail users themselves. The NTN is a membership organization and membership fees go directly into our trail projects. We are asking anyone that uses the singletrack trails in our system on a regular basis to support our ongoing work with a membership. If you are already a member THANK YOU, and please tell a friend and encourage them to join you. Membership can be done online at http://www.noquetrails.org/membership?type=singletrack.
Downloadable forms are also available on the website and at all the local bike shops.
With the full support of the community, we will be able to continue building trail through the fall until the snow flies and then transition into winter grooming operations to give people year round access to the recreation they love. We work hard to be responsible with your hard earned dollars and hope that you consider support of the NTN an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.
Thanks for your consideration,
The NTN Singletrack committee
Join Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day Celebration on September 20th
On Sat, September 20th, 906 Adventure Team, NTN Singletrack and RAMBA will host young riders, ages 6 to 16, for a youth mountain biking event. The ride is part of a nationwide celebration known as Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day, supported by the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA).
906 Adventure Team welcomes all local riders who want to have a fun day on their bikes. Here's everything you need to know:
- All Youth Riders MUST be accompanied by an adult.
- All riders, Youth and Adults, must wear cycling appropriate helmets.
- The event will be held at the NTN South Trail Trailhead off of 553.
- Registration start time is 1:00 pm, all participants must sign a participation waiver.
- Volunteer help is welcomed!
This event will feature fun skill building obstacles, games, group rides and a Downhill demonstration by local riders. There will also be some cool swag give-ways to all participating kids.
IMBA's International Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day celebrates the life of Jack Doub, an avid teenage mountain biker from North Carolina who had a true passion for the sport from an early age to the time when he passed away in 2002. Event funding is provided by the Jack Doub Memorial Endowment. Additional support comes from CLIF Kids, the National Park Service and Smartwool.

Harbor Fest Volunteering 2014
Volunteers are needed for Harbor Fest Fun! 4th of July, is coming soon.
The NTN is looking for volunteers for two hour shifts, scooping Jilbert's Ice Cream at Harbor Fest. Tons of summer fun down at Lower Harbor!
Thank you volunteering for the 2013; the donation of your time and customer service talent helped the NTN raise over $6,000.
Would you be interested in volunteering again this year? The busiest shifts where we need the most volunteers are on:
Thursday from 4-8pm. Friday after the parade at 2pm and before the fireworks at 10pm and Saturday evening from 4-8pm. Day hours are needed as well. Keep in mind the shifts are only two hours and your volunteer time extends to the grooming of the ski trails into the winter months and maintenance of singletrack now.
The Ice Cream booth generates a considerable amount of funds for the mission of the NTN. Please email Nikki the time slots you would like to volunteer. email@example.com

Noquemanon Trails Network (NTN) advocates for improved non-motorized options
May 30, 2014
As part of its mission, the Noquemanon Trails Network (NTN) advocates for improved non-motorized options for residents of the area and visitors from across the State of Michigan and beyond. It is the NTN's position that the Michigan DNR, as a fellow 'trail provider' best serves the non-motorized trail community by developing a plan that includes sustainable funding sources for its trail offerings. This is especially true for high cost trails such as Nordic skiing sites, which have ongoing grooming expenses.
When asked by DNR representatives for input regarding a plan for sustainable funding for non-motorized trails, NTN recommended that an appropriate dedicated trail pass fee, similar to the State of Michigan's snowmobile trail pass, would secure the necessary funds to re-establish grooming services at many State operated sites where grooming has been discontinued due to funding cuts. It is our understanding that the current source of funding from the Recreation Passport fee is a periodic distribution from a large non-dedicated pool of funds subject to discretionary cuts. Currently, this fund provides grooming to only 2 sites statewide leaving the vast majority of ski areas not groomed.
The birth of NTN in 2001 arose in large part from several years of inadequate State funding for grooming their Nordic trails. Since its inception, NTN members have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in developing trails and equipment to groom them. It is our hope that the DNR and NTN can work together to ensure the trails and related investments of both organizations are strengthened for the good of all non-motorized trail users.
This statement has been approved by the NTN Board of Directors.

page 2 - Culture Clash
Before, the GT-R ruled the roost. Will the ZR1 and 911 have something to crow about?
By April 12, 2010
2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
Points: 376.5
Lap Time: 1:20.1
The is a monster. And the Corvette ZR1 is a lamb. How's that? Putter around town, keeping its supercharged LS9 6.2-liter V-8 below 3000 rpm, and it's as easy to drive as any sports car. But dip hard into the throttle and the ZR1's exhaust butterflies open while the car unleashes its full 638 bhp and 604 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear tiresalong with a glorious, ripping exhaust note that's music to any enthusiast's ear. The ZR1 flat out moves, one of the most violent-accelerating production cars ever built. It takes a brave man, a smooth surface and plenty of straight tarmac to fully experience the ZR1's accelerative gusto through the first four gears of its robust yet precise-shifting 6-speed manual.
Pavement-shredding straight-line power is one thing. Harnessing all that potency while turning, quite another. To that end, fits 2010 model year ZR1s with its new PTM (Performance Traction Management) system. This torque-limiting traction control manages spark, fuel and throttle at five different levels of intervention. PTM 1 (the Wet mode) cuts in early and often, while PTM 5 (Race mode) cuts in as little as possible for the quickest lap times.
PTM is highly temperature- and traction-sensitive. Chevy recommends using PTM 5 only if the ambient temperature is at least 60 degrees F, or else the system won't work properly. Chevy says the most effective way to use PTM is to floor the throttle at a corner's apex and then let the traction control do its thing, so you need to have full confidence that the system will, in fact, work.
With temperatures in the high 40s at SMMR (along with a brief shower right before the ZR1's timed laps), we selected PTM 4. Despite this, the ZR1 still gave us a wild ride for the first couple of laps while its Michelin Pilot Sports got up to temperature. Nailing the throttle in anything other than a straight line meant massive tail-out slides, including one particularly hair-raising moment heading into the track's signature Drop, where the Vette always felt unsettled anyway.
Once the tires warmed up, PTM worked beautifully, allowing us to get more aggressive with the throttle than we would've ever thought prudent. Plus, the brp-brp-brp-brp-brp of the traction control sounds cool. For comparison purposes, we did a few laps with the PTM and stability-control systems completely defeated, setting a time just 0.3 sec. off our best with PTM. This required a lot more care with the throttle, but it should be noted that our times with PTM switched off were still quicker than anything the GT-R or the 911 Turbo could muster.
Greatly aiding the ZR1 is a splendid amount of front grip, although this is somewhat offset by the vaguest steering of the three cars. The Vette also feels heavier and wider than it is. You never, ever think: "nimble little sports car" when you drive a ZR1.
But you also never worry about stopping in a ZR1, as its massive carbon-ceramic rotors not only provide phenomenal braking force, but never once gave even a hint of fade. And with the 57-mph speed advantage the ZR1 enjoys down the back straight, big brakes were the order of the day.
Unfortunately, every time you stomp on the center pedal, you slide forward in the Vette's unsupportive seat. Then as you enter the corner, you flop around like a wet noodle. "There's so little lateral support compared to cornering grip," said Bailey.
So the ZR1 still commits a few sins, with a sub-par interior, floppy seats and a bouncy ride. The question is whether its mind-blowing straight-line speed, ridiculously good brakes and stellar grip are enough to make you forgive its faults. Making things even more difficult is the fact that at $121,425 as-tested, the ZR1 isn't exactly cheap. But for some, the ZR1's performance and sensational V-8 music are worth nearly any price.

One of the oldest weapons and hunting methods, archery is still used for its traditional purposes, but is common today as a recreational and competitive activity. There are a variety of styles and sizes of bows and arrows, but they're all used for one purpose: to hit a target. Archery is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies. Girl Scout Brownies can participate in some archery activities if the equipment is designed for children of that grade level and body size. Participants must be old enough to understand safety procedures and handle equipment so as not to endanger themselves and others. Ensure that bows and arrows are appropriate to the age, size, strength, and ability of the girls.
Whether girls are painting, knitting, bookbinding, sculpting, making origami or jewelry, or doing any one of a number of arts‐and‐crafts projects, the options for artistic and self‐expression are endless. Girls are encouraged to plan details of arts‐and‐crafts activities, and it's important that activities are appropriate to each girl's age, experience with tools, attention span, and the complexity of the project. Also keep environmentalism in mind; for instance, when doing arts and crafts outdoors, don't use materials such as glitter that will pollute campgrounds.
By some definitions, backpacking entails a low‐budget method of travel in just about any part of the globe, particularly in urban areas. By other definitions, backpacking is specific to front‐country or back‐country environments in parks or wilderness areas. No matter the destination, a backpacker's primary mission is to explore on foot, while carrying all her gear in a backpack and being a good steward of the land. These checkpoints focus on preparing for backpacking in remote areas, but the recommendations can be used in urban areas, too. For information about backpacking schools and services, visit thebackpacker.com. Backpacking is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies.
Whether you're riding a mountain, racing, or hybrid bike, it's important to assure that bikes are the proper size and in good condition. Make sure that the seat height is adjusted properly; when seated, girls should have a slight bend in the knee—in other words, the legs should never be fully extended. A too‐low seat is a common problem and causes significant discomfort. The helmet should fit comfortably but snugly, be worn level on the head, and not move in any direction when the chin strap is securely fastened. Bike races, mountain‐biking, and long‐distance cycling trips can be strenuous, and it's essential for girls to condition
themselves beforehand. Also, long‐distance touring involves many hours of cycling, sometimes in difficult terrain, and requires girls to carry more gear and supplies than on short day trips. When training for lengthy bicycle trips, set realistic
goals for mileage, and gradually increase the distance; for instance, one week, aim to ride 10 miles, and the next, strive for 12.
Canoeing is a great team‐building activity and an enjoyable and relaxing way to experience the outdoors. Compared to kayaks, canoes tend to be larger and uncovered, and usually accommodate several people kneeling or sitting on a seat.
Canoeists use either a single‐ or double‐bladed paddle, and kayakers almost always use a two‐bladed paddle. Canoeing is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies; Class III and Class IV whitewater is not recommended for Brownies; Class IV whitewater is not recommended for Juniors.
Caving—also called "spelunking" (speh‐LUNK‐ing) is an exciting, hands‐on way to learn about speleology (spee‐lee‐AHluh‐ gee), the study of caves, in addition to paleontology (pay‐lee‐en‐TAH‐luh‐gee), the study of life from past geologic periods by examining plant and animal fossils. As a sport, caving is similar to rock climbing, and often involves using ropes to crawl and climb through cavern nooks and crannies. These checkpoints do not apply to groups taking trips to tourist or commercial caves, which often include safety features such as paths, electric lights, and stairways. Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies do not participate in caving.
A challenge course is a set of structures that provide a setting for physical challenges designed to increase participant self‐confidence and physical coordination, increase group cooperation, and have fun.
Rappelling is a means of descending by sliding down a rope. The rope runs through a mechanical device, and a safety belay is used in all rappelling activities. Rappelling is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies.
Using the Internet in Girl Scouting isn't solely for girls participating in a virtual manner; girls use the Web to communicate with other girls, research travel plans and activities, and create Web sites for events and series opportunities.
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the largest girl‐led business in the United States, generating more than $700 million for decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. Girl Scout council‐sponsored product sales— which include products from official Girl Scout Cookie vendors and magazine and nut vendors—give girls proven opportunities to earn money and/or credits for their Girl Scout program activities, while contributing significantly to their local councils and communities through take‐action projects.
Also referred to as "back‐country," "Nordic," and "XC skiing," cross‐country skiing is an excellent form of exercise and an opportune way to explore the outdoors in the wintertime. As with downhill skiers, cross‐country skiers use two poles for guidance, and bindings to connect boots to skis. Unlike downhill skiing, in which the entire boot is attached to the ski, only the toe of the cross‐country skier's boot is attached to the ski. Contact ski shops and cross‐country ski organizations to inquire about rental equipment. Cross‐country skiing is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies.
Whether girls are participating in snowboarding or traditional downhill, slalom, Super G, or other types of skiing, participants use trails and slopes matched to their abilities. Skiing.about.com describes various ski levels, which range
from "never‐ever" to expert. In planning a Girl Scout ski or snowboarding trip, contact the ski resort or organization to inquire about rental equipment, lift tickets, and accommodations for large groups. Downhill skiing and snowboarding is
not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies.
Derived from the word "defense," fencing is a sport and martial art that involves using swords called foils (practice swords), sabers, and épées (a fencing sword with a bowl‐shaped hand guard). The object of fencing is to touch the opponent with the tip of a sword without getting hit by the opponent's sword. A fencing game (or bout) is typically three minutes—the first fencer to score five touches (or hits) wins; if neither reaches five within the designated time period, the participant with the most touches wins. If performed correctly with the proper equipment, fencing is a safe activity with a low injury rate. Most fencing clubs provide students with a full kit of equipment. Girl Scout Daisies learn about fencing games and the rules of fencing but should use only foam mock swords.
Fishing (also referred to as "angling") is a sport, a leisurely activity, and a major food industry, depending on who you're talking to. In the United States, freshwater fishing is more popular than saltwater fishing, and varieties include fly fishing,
ice fishing (see the "Ice Fishing" Safety Activity Checkpoints), and match fishing (the most popular form of competitive fishing). The best times of day to fish rely on a variety of factors, such as amount of sunlight, temperature, and depths of water, and winds. In general, however, the best times to fish are early in the morning or in the mid‐evening.
Geocaching is a recreational outdoor activity that centers on the use of a Global Positioning System (GPS) and maps. Geocachers seek out caches (waterproof containers containing logbooks) that have been hidden just about anywhere in
the world, whether in urban areas, in the wilderness, in tree roots, and so on. As treasure hunters in an international game of hide‐and‐seek, participants use geocaching.com to select cache locations and communicate with other geocachers.
Camping, a great Girl Scout tradition, is one of the very first activities that Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low encouraged for girls. The key to an enjoyable group‐camping experience is being prepared by packing just enough gear,
supplies, and clothing that are appropriate for the weather, sleeping situation, and cooking meals. Girl Scouts advocate for the Leave No Trace method of camping, which involves leaving a campground the way it exists in nature, free of garbage and human impact.
A traditional activity that's often part of autumn festivities and apple‐ or pumpkin‐picking trips, hayrides are fun for girls of all ages. Before participating in a hayride, ensure that hayride equipment (tractor/truck, bales of hay) are secure, that
vehicle weight limitations and seating capacities are not exceeded, and that paths and trails are free of obstructions. Also ensure that girls are responsible riders who stay seated during the hayride.
Unlike short walks, hiking involves lengthy, cross‐country walking trips and often requires sturdy boots to provide traction on rocks and unruly earth floors. With respect to the Leave No Trace philosophy, it's important for hikers to leave trails as (or better than) they found them. Although the action of one hiker may not strongly affect the environment, the effects of large groups of hikers can degrade trails.
One of the most important aspects of horseback riding is showing respect for horses. Before riding, inspect horses to ensure that they have no cuts, injuries, or rocks in their feet. The purpose of these checkpoints is to provide tips for trail riding and ring or corral riding. Some activities, such as vaulting, pack trips, driving, and games, may require special equipment, as well as horses and instructors with
specialized training. Horseback riding is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies, but Daisies may participate in pony rides when the horses are led by persons on foot.
Ice fishing, the practice of fishing through a hole cut in the ice of a body of water, is a relaxing wintertime activity— particularly in northern U.S. states. Ice anglers often sit on stools inside small ice shanties, which provide shelter and warmth in cold temperatures. Shanties are typically made of wood or plastic and are rented from sport‐fishing outlets or made at home.
Originally developed as a way for speed skaters to train year‐round, in‐line skating is now a popular activity and sport that represents a modernized version of roller‐skating. All skaters are encouraged to obtain safety rules from the adult
or rink manager, and beginners should consider taking lessons from a certified skating instructor. Once girls are skilled skaters, they may wish to participate in more challenging skate activities such as skating backward or hosting skating
competitions and games.
Kayaks come in a variety of styles and sizes, and like canoes are almond‐shaped and powered by paddling. Kayaks tend to be smaller than canoes, sometimes covered by a deck and spray skirt, and seat one or two kayakers, who sit with legs extended in front of them. Kayakers almost always use a two‐bladed paddle. Beginners should be careful of overexertion. If girls aren't accustomed to using oars, they may experience strained arm muscles. Kayaking is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies; Class III and Class IV whitewater is not recommended for Brownies; Class IV whitewater is not recommended for Juniors.
Orienteering is an activity that involves using a map, compass, and navigational skills to find your way around or across an unfamiliar area, and may also incorporate camping, backpacking, hiking, cross‐country skiing, or horseback‐riding skills. Orienteering often takes place in the wilderness, although events can take place in just about any terrain such as a beach, urban area, or park. Orienteers often use control markers to flag various land features found on the map, serving as checkpoints along a course.
Other land sports include team sports such as soccer, softball, and basketball, as well as individual activities such as dance, gymnastics, and track and field. In planning activities, ensure that girls aren't pushed beyond their capabilities. As
is the case for all Girl Scout activities, a girl's participation depends on her readiness, level of maturity, physical conditioning, and level of training.
Historically, wood fires were the primary source of heat for camp cooking, but the practice of cooking with large fires is no longer recommended, because of the detrimental effects on camping areas. Instead, use an established fire pit to
ignite a small fire, or use alternative cooking methods such as a portable cook stove (electric or fuel‐based). When cooking outdoors, it's important to pack the appropriate amount of food for the group, so as to avoid discarding unused
food. To properly plan food supplies, consider the activities you'll be participating in, keeping in mind that girls will burn more calories and hence need to eat more when participating in rigorous activities. Also, more calories are needed
during cold weather. Extensive outdoor cooking is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies, but a less extensive activity, such as roasting marshmallows, is appropriate.
Whether you're participating in a parade or planning a Girl Scout event, series, or other large group gathering, it's important to represent Girl Scouts in the best possible way and encourage girls to plan the festivities.
Playing is just as much a fun activity for kids as it is a critically important part of their creative and social development. KaBOOM! is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to ensure there's a "great place to play within walking distance of
every child in America." With the help of sponsors and adults, the organization has developed hundreds of playgrounds in underprivileged areas.
One of the most historic means of transportation, rowboating has evolved to become a leisurely activity and competitive sport. Ocean rowing, competitive rowing, and Venetian are just a handful of rowing styles; in racing rowboats, an eightoared shell can hit speeds of up to 16 miles per hour.
The sport of sailing has become very high‐tech and competitive since its humble beginnings, but sailors and racers still must rely on the force of wind to push their boats. There are a wide variety of sailboats, including small and large sailboats, keelboats, and multihulls. Sailboating is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies.
Scuba diving is an eye‐opening opportunity to experience the underwater world of sea life. Scuba is an acronym for "self‐contained underwater breathing apparatus" and requires specialized equipment, most of which certified scubadiving schools rent for lessons. Organizations such as the National Association of Underwater Instructors and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) offer online tools to locate certified scuba instructors. Scuba diving is a challenging activity, and girls who wish to learn to scuba dive must be at least 12 years old and meet the health requirements set by the certifying agency.
First produced in 2002, the Segway PT is a personal transportation device powered by an electric motor, and is a great way to tour urban and historic areas, such as Washington, D.C. Although not as fast as a bicycle, Segway PTs travel up to 12.5 miles per hour and glide under the control of the rider. Mobilized by two wheels, Segway PT riders stand on a platform that is balanced by the sensors and motors beneath. Riders lean forward to go forward and back to reverse, and turn left or right by using the handlebar, which resembles a video‐game joystick (first‐generation Segway PT models used a steering mechanism that resembles a motorcycle's throttle). The Segway manufacturer requires that riders weigh 90 to 250 pounds; state and locals governments differ about location and age restrictions. Some Segway guided‐tour and guided‐ride organizations limit their services
Invented in the 1930s by California surfers who were frustrated by bad waves, skateboarding has become a popular sport and pastime with competitions and professional skateboarders. Skateboarding schools and camps teach beginners
how to ride, perform tricks, and skate ramps and half‐pipes. In general, for groups learning to skateboard, four class sessions are recommended. Girl Scout Daisies do not participate in skateboarding.
Sleds vary in design, shape, and material and can range from round plastic discs to rectangular wood structures with metal runners. A toboggan is typically a long, flat‐bottomed sled made of thin boards that curve upward in a C‐shape at
one end. Snow tubes are inflatable, doughnut‐shaped rubber or plastic inner tubes similar to those used in water tubing, but have dimpled centers.
Snorkeling is a great way to explore underwater life without the complicated equipment required of scuba diving. It's important to learn how to breathe using snorkels properly, and to receive instruction from an experienced snorkeler or
equipment‐rental facility. Coral, an ecosystem of shell and marine life, is a popular attraction for snorkelers and must be respected. As ocean organisms that support plants and fish, coral reefs are an essential part of the underwater
ecosystem. Unfortunately, the coral reef is threatened by climate change, ocean acidification, and people who mistreat it. Touching coral can harm the delicate outer layer, which may take up to 100 years to recover.
Originating thousands of years ago as a means of trekking through snow, snowshoeing has evolved to become a competitive winter sport. Snowshoes also have evolved to become sophisticated sporting equipment. Traditional snowshoes are made of wood and rawhide lacings, and modern snowshoes are typically constructed from plastic, metal, and other synthetic materials. As for selecting appropriate boots, waterproof boots or snowboarding boots work well, as
do waterproofed leather hiking boots for snow hiking, and trail‐running shoes work well for snow‐running. Contact ski facilities and outdoor equipment stores to inquire about renting snowshoe equipment. Snowshoeing is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies.
Women have made incredible contributions to the STEM community and have, as a result, advanced culture and improved modern ways of life. Unfortunately, women are underrepresented in these fields, especially technology and engineering. A number of organizations work to encourage girls to enter the sciences and to connect girls with mentorship and education in the sciences (see the "STEM Links" section for resources). To encourage girls' interest in
STEM, it's important to engage them in hands‐on activities that provide ties to real‐world applications. Activities should allow girls to explore the vast array of career opportunities available to them. Before working with girls, make sure you fully understand the STEM activity and make note of any additional safety precautions provided in the activity directions.
Surfing (also referred to as "surfboarding") is one of the most challenging water sports, but if a new surfer is well prepared, it can be a safe, rewarding experience that develops balance, agility, strength, and confidence. With proper instruction from an experienced surfing teacher, many first‐timers are able to stand up on their boards during the initial two‐ to four‐hour session. Of course, people learn at different paces, but three to four lessons are recommended. Enrolling girls in a surf camp or daylong surfboarding lesson is highly recommended for beginners; be sure to inform the surf school of girls' ages, heights, and sizes to reserve appropriate surfboards and wetsuits. Surfing is not recommended
for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies.
A longtime Girl Scout tradition, swimming is one of the many ways that girls develop athleticism, leadership, and teambuilding skills. Whether swimming outdoors at camps and competitive events or in indoor pools, safety is one of the
keys to having fun in the water. Girls and adults adhere to council requirements for swimming levels—in addition to the requirements of the organization you are working with—to participate in water activities. Consult a local organization such as your local parks and recreation department, YMCA, or American Red Cross for swimming lessons, or locate a swimming instructor in your area at swim.com.
Roller coasters have come a long way since the first coaster—built as a means of transporting coal down a Pennsylvania mountain—was invented in 1872. Much like architects who try to win the "world's tallest building" recognition, rollercoaster
designers and theme parks try to outdo records for largest, fastest, and tallest amusement‐park ride. To ensure a safe theme‐park experience, it's important to communicate with girls about ride and crowd safety, and to encourage girls to act responsibly. Search for U.S. theme parks by state at About.com. Remember that some theme parks have height restrictions for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies.
Travel camping (using campsites as a means of accommodations) is planned and carried out by a group of girls and adults who are experienced campers. The group travels by foot or human power and uses motorized or non‐motorized
transportation to move from one site to another over a period of three or more nights. Motorized transportation is usually a bus, van, or automobile but may also be an airplane, boat, bicycle, or train, or a combination of vehicles. When
preparing for and conducting the trip, use other Safety Activity Checkpoints (such as "Canoeing," "Backpacking," and "Outdoor Cooking") to aid trip‐planning. Trip/travel camping is not recommended for Daisy Girl Scouts and Brownies.
Tubing involves floating down a river or other body of water in a doughnut‐shaped inner tube. Tubing is popular both as a relaxing leisurely activity (in slow‐moving waters) and as an adventurous recreational activity in faster‐paced rivers. As a safety precaution, keep in mind that tubes occasionally flip, causing tubers to sometimes fall out of their tubes as they travel over rapids and through rough patches of water. As river tubing is often a one‐way trip, ensure to arrange
transportation from the tubing final destination. If participating in speed‐boat tubing, be sure to take safety precautions that comply with small‐craft safety guidelines.
Similar to surfing, learning to stand up on waterskis or a wakeboard (a single board resembling a snowboard) is one of the sport's primary challenges, especially for beginners. Waterskiing requires thorough instruction and practice; key elements of successful waterskiing include balance, a strong grip, and proper‐fitting skis/board and bindings. Beginners must learn the waterski position: knees bent and together, leaning back with weight on the balls of the feet, head up,
arms straight, and skis pointing forward. To prevent injuries, waterskiers must learn (contrary to instinct) to release the towline as soon as they begin to lose their balance. Skiers either wear one board (called slalom) or two skis (called combo); barefoot waterskiing is an advanced skill. Wakeboarding is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies.
White‐water rafting is especially popular among adventure seekers, but is enjoyable for general outdoor lovers as well. The level of rafting difficulty is measured by white‐water classification, which ranges from classes I to VI—Class I represents water with very few rough areas that are suitable for beginners; Class VI rapids are considered to be extremely dangerous and generally impassable. Rafts come in a variety of styles and lengths, the most common of which are between 11 and 20 feet in length and typically seat four to twelve rafters. It's nearly impossible to stay dry while white‐water rafting, so it's important to dress for the water temperature, rather than the air temperature. If the water is
cold, wear a wetsuit; on cool days with cool water, wear a wetsuit and a paddle jacket. Avoid wearing cotton because it makes the wearer cold when the clothes get wet. White‐water rafting is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies; Class
III and Class IV whitewater is not recommended for Brownies; Class IV whitewater is not recommended for Juniors.
Windsurfing combines surfing and sailing, and is one of the fastest‐growing water sports. Expert windsurfers (aka "boardheads") seek out the challenges and freestyling opportunities that big waves provide, but beginners should windsurf on water with little to no waves. Windsurfing instructors usually begin the instructional process on land to guide students through a startup sequence. The essence of windsurfing is to balance oneself on the sailboard while holding the sail and cruising with the wind; learning how to turn is an advanced skill that takes some windsurfers years to master. Keeping in mind that people learn at different paces, with a good instructor, beginners are often able to learn how to windsurf in a single lesson. Windsurfing is not recommended for Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies.

Top Ten Reasons to Get Out and Vote
1.To speak your mind: Your vote is your voice. It tells elected officials how you feel about education, healthcare, social security and other important issues.
2.To make them listen: Your vote is your loudspeaker, too. When we turn out to vote, you can bet that the politicians know it – and you can be sure, when we all crank up that loudspeaker, they'll pay attention to what we have to say.
3.For our children: Our children can't vote – so we have to do it for them. That's how we make our views known about schools, safety, the environment and other issues that will affect our children's future.
4.For our community: Do you ever wonder why one neighborhood gets passed over for the things it needs while other neighborhoods seem to get it all? One big reason is voting. When we vote, we get results we can see right where we live.
5.For yourself: Let's face it – it's no fun to sit on the sidelines and complain. To win the game, you have to be in it. Voting puts you in the game that counts most of all – democracy.
6.To honor our history: As long as this country has existed, there have been people who didn't want us to vote. Well, guess what? Today, there are still people who don't want you to vote. And it's your turn to stand up and vote to preserve and honor those who went before us.
7.To control our future: Elected officials make decisions that affect our daily lives. From homeland security to social security, the individuals we vote for will make decisions about our quality of life.
8.To stop something: Voting lets you stop complaining about things in your community. It puts you in the driver's seat instead of the back of the bus.
9.To start something: Voting gets to be habit-forming, and it's contagious, too. Once you get out and vote, it'll feel so good that you'll want to do it again and again. Pretty soon your kids and neighbors will want some of what you've got, and from there on, the rest will be history.
10.To win: In every election year, some races are decided by just a handful of votes. Those who vote demand respect. When we vote, we win.

Alternative View - April 4
Resigned to the Word
In His Presence: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God (James 1:19-20).
Many Christians today are suffering from spiritual anorexia and starving to death spiritually. Even though they may have plenty of Bibles in their homes for spiritual nourishment, and even though the church—a spiritual supermarket—is right down the street, these Christians suffer from spiritual malnutrition. One primary reason for this is that they have not decided to make becoming like Christ their sole purpose. If He is not your passionate purpose, everything else you do will be wasted. God's purpose for us is to be conformed to the image of His Son, to be transformed by His glory, and to be made holy and righteous like Christ.
One Minute Please
We must make the Bible the first place we go to find truth, not the last. We must be quick to hear His truth.

Excellent after some minor changes. I used chicken broth in place of the water and bouillon, and milk in place of cream to cut down on fat and calories. I like more sauce than the picture shows. 3T of flour is generally enough to make a medium white sauce with 3 c. of liquid. The recipe only has 1 1/3 c, so the sauce was quite thick. I added at least 1/2 c more of broth and milk together. I recommend making the sauce per recipe and then adding liquid to make the consistency you desire. I use a skillet that is 7" for crepes. I ended up having to make a second recipe of mix to get 8 fairly thin crepes. (I ate a couple not-so-pretty ones!) The recipe calls for an 8" pan. I really do not see 2 T covering 8" even if they are very thin and I am not a novice crepe maker. Very rich; I served with glazed carrots because the color would compliment the crepes. Other carrot recipes like dill carrots would be good.

When I began doing Cathe Workouts: 2002 I think?
How I found out about Cathe Workouts: A Firm email list I belonged too.
Why I love doing Cathe Workouts: Because she is da BOMB!
Where I work out most often: Home
Other Workout DVDs that I own: Lots of misc. but never do them. I workout freestyle now. I follow a bodybuilding lifestyle.
My Fitness Goals: To build muscle.
My Success Story: My highest weight ever was 180#. That was back in 1999. Before that, I did bodybuilding but hurt my low back in the early 90's. That put me out of commission for years and the weight came on. Even though my back still hurt, I started working out again slowly. I started with Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds, then moved to The Firm and then learned about Cathe. I lost over 50# during a three year period and now I am concentrating on building lean muscle mass and succeeding. My low back no longer hurts and I am in the best physical shape of my life. I workout free style now, but still do Cathe's ab workouts along with warmup and stretches from her DVD's. I'm looking forward to the STS series. My most proudest moment was when I was featured in Oxygen magazine!

Today was Back and Biceps and I had an exceptional workout. My right shoulder is bugging me, though. Not sure what's up with that. It's hard for me to lift my elbow out to the side. It feels like my rotator cuff. I'm not quite sure what to do about it. I think doing heavy lateral raises may be irritating it. So with those specific types of exercise I guess I'll try to go lighter.
1:30 minute rest between each set and 4 minute rest between going from Back to Biceps.
Barbell Overhand Rows:
80# - 6/6/6 (up 5#)
75# - 10 (up 5#)
70# - 12/12 (up 5#)
***These felt good. Low back felt really strong this morning.
51.5# - 6/6/6 (up 2.5#)
49# - 10 (up 4#)
47# - 12/12 (up 7#)
***I got my 45# dumbbell and loaded it up with all my magnets and one 2.5# plate. It looked hilarious.
10# - 6/6 (no increase)
5# - 7 (up 2 reps)
BW - 9 (up 1 rep)
***These felt good this morning, I felt pretty strong with them.
Barbell Curls:
62# - 6/6 (up 2#)
57# - 10 (up 2#)
52# - 12/10 (up 2# but lost 2 reps with the last set)
***Love seeing how heavy I can go with this exercise. It is my most challenging exercise.
Incline Dumbbell Curls:
25# - 6/6 (stayed the same)
22's - 10 (up 2#)
17's - 12/12 (up 2#)
***Stayed the same with the first 2 reps so I could move up with the last three sets. This exercise feels great but burns big time.
Dumbbell Preacher Curls:
22's - 10/10 (up 2#)
***Last two reps of each set was a real struggle.
That is all....
- Good to see you posting. We missed you. I'm sorry you are going through all this. Keep your head up, it will get better. Also, your Avon is on backorder. I'll get it out to you as soon as I can.
Hope you all have a great weekend! My rest day is tomorrow.
