Well, Camporee is over once again for another year.
Here are some thoughts on the weekend…
First and foremost I need to tell you that pride is just one word that comes to mind when it comes to how I feel about the boys of my Troop. Now, you may be saying to yourself… yeah Jer.. You say that all the time.. and yes, yes I do, but this time it is a "Coming of age" kind of pride.
As you also know, our troop camps using a "Backpacking style" of camping. We don't have patrol boxes, we pack it in and pack it out, and we insist on boy leadership. We teach our Scouts to be self-reliant and to think and do things for themselves. Above all we have fun.
Our senior Patrol runs the Troop and is trained and guided to make sound decisions. They are not always right and they certainly are not always popular, but in the end the Troop seems to meet its goals.
Maybe it's me, but for more than a few years it seems that our Troop has been sort of black sheep within the district. Until recently the only Troop that camped strictly using Backpacking methods. This year we noticed that a few more Troops are adopting our style of camping.
There are certainly advantages and disadvantages of being a backpacking Troop in a car camping district.
Super fast set up and take down and smaller footprint. I think this one and cooking are the two things that other Troops can't wrap their heads around. We got into camp at about 7:30 PM. Within an hour we were all set up and working on the gateway.. we will talk about the gateway later. The camp site gets up quickly and allows for the patrols to get to the business of having fun.
This morning, the Scouts hit their typical Sunday routine. They woke up and started packing. Once packed, they cooked breakfast and finished camp chores. The troop was pretty much ready to go, but given a set schedule for camporee made the choice to lolly gag around camp. This is both a disadvantage and advantage. Lots of time, and nowhere to go when it comes to waiting on the rest of the schedule.
Cooking and clean up is easy and not without a good meal plan. A big misconception is that backpackers only eat freeze-dried cardboard. Not so. If you can cook it on a green stove, you can cook it backpacking and this was demonstrated all weekend as the boys cooked great meals
Lighter loads made for easy load out and pack up. I figure this is where many Troops have a problem with the way we camp. Immediately after closing ceremonies we were loaded in the cars and on our way home. As we drove off we could see the "heavy Troops" still taking down camp and loading up the trailers.
Now, I don't really have a problem with the car camping style.. it's just not for me and certainly not for our Troop. It is nice to wake up cook, clean up, pack and hike out. Makes for happy Scouts that, at the end of a good weekend can look forward to easy tear down of camp. A couple of our Scouts were talking with one of the troops next to us. They reported that the Scouts were not happy that they had at least an hour of clean up, tear down, and then put away once they got home. It is so much easier to load a bunch of backpacks into the truck and drive away.
To be honest, I find no merit in making the Scouts unhappy.
Our Troop never scores well on the camp site inspection, largely in part to the fact that the folks doing the grading don't know what to look for. They are looking for patrol boxes, watch stations, and tents that are all pitched in a row with even spacing and Canopies to cook under. We don't get scored high because our cook kits are put away after each meal and our food is hung in bear bags. They don't see the little bottle of camp suds that we use to clean our pots and mess kits and they are not used to seeing single person tents or tarp set ups. So we have grown accustomed to just camping and having a fun weekend at camp o ree. The Scouts don't seem to mind that we don't "win" each year, but it is clear that they have a great time. That is not say that the Patrols don't come away empty-handed. Each year they show well in the events and always take home ribbons. But as a total score, I am afraid that we won't get the grand prize until the committee decides to grade backpacking troops fairly. This is going to be an issue in the near future as more troops are adopting our style of camping.
We had a large group of Webelos camp with us this year. A Troop guide volunteered to be their guide all weekend and he did a spectacular job. I think of the 8 Webelos, we should get at least 6 of them to cross over into the Troop. They are motivated and liked the way we camped and had fun. The Dad's that camped with us from the Webelos seemed to have a good time and were impressed with the way our boys ran the troop. It was a good opportunity for them to see the Troops of the District all at once. It was really good for us when they noticed a couple of troops that had the moms and dads doing all the cooking for the boys. "That is not the way Scouting should be" said one of the Dad's. I could not help be agree.
Where are the judges when the Scouts are not doing their own cooking.. but hey to each their own. That's not how we do it. Green Bar Bill is flipping in his grave.
Our Scouts did a great job this weekend.. Perfect, No… but perfect in the way we do Scouting.
We had a real fun time this weekend and like I said at the beginning.. I am proud of the Scouts of my troop.
Our Assistant Senior Patrol Leader got an opportunity to lead the Troop this weekend and continued to develop into a good leader. He stepped up and did a nice job. It was nice to work with him and teach him some leadership techniques. Watching him apply them was rewarding for both him and I. Real proud of him… he will be a great Senior Patrol Leader.
Our Senior Patrol leader was torn this weekend between the Venturing Crew that he is a member of and the Troop. He did a fantastic job this weekend, but I could tell that he was torn when the Crew earned the Top spot for Crews this year.
Each Scout learned something this weekend and once again tested leadership and skills. It's those things that make me a proud Scoutmaster.
Have a great Scouting Day!
Well, Camporee is over once again for another year.
Making the world right again…
<Insert tongue in cheek>
If you have 4:06 now is the time to sit and watch beautiful burn patterns on alcohol stoves. Yes, we are getting back into the swing of real pressing issues. Gear!
I picked up the Trangia stove recently and other than taking it out of the box have not really messed with it.
The Trangia stove looks, feels, and measures exactly like the Esbit stove that has become my favorite.
So I threw 1 fl. oz of denatured alcohol in each of them and sat and watched for 8 plus minutes as they burned. I wanted to see which would go out first. Maybe there is a jet pattern difference that would cause a difference in burn rate. Maybe there was a material design internally that would cause one to burn faster than the other. Really though… oh… no… you almost got me… you have to watch to see who wins.
Enjoy the video.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
MSR Reactor vs. the Jet Boil?
Today I saw a tweet from a guy I follow. He is an AT section hiker and shared this video, a humorous look at the MSR Reactor stove. I have never used a Reactor, but I have seen them and think that they are pretty neat. They are way to big for me and not really my cup of tea when it comes to stoves, but the video is funny and as I have stated before reinforces some of the reasons I am not a big fan of the Jet Boil.
All of that to say… Enjoy the video.. I thought it was funny.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Light my Fire- Fire Knife
In a constant quest for new gear and nifty gadgets I have found my new favorite knife. I recently purchased a knife that is multifunctional, light weight and durable.
From the makers of the Light My Fire Swedish Fire Steel, Meal kit, and ever so famous Spork, comes the Light My Fire Swedish Fire Knife.
This great knife is all you need while out in the woods.It is a Mora Swedish style knife sporting a 3.75 inch blade made of Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. The Actual size is 225x45x38mm and it weighs in at 94 grams. In the TPE rubber handle or grip is a Swedish Fire steel. The fire steel produces a 5,400 degree spark which is perfect for starting fire in even the wettest and coldest temps.
The knife is great for camp chores and starting fires, lighting stoves, and is not effected by the altitude.
The top or back edge of the knife is your striker. It has a perfect edge that ensures a strike every time on the Swedish fire steel. The fire steel is durable and is good for about 3000 strikes. That's a heck of a lot better than a book of matches or bic lighters.
The Light my Fire Swedish Fire Knife comes in 5 colors, I chose the black one, but it also comes in Orange, Green, Blue, and Red. I looked at the orange version and it was just a bit to loud for me, but if you decide it's for you I bet you never lose it.
The Light My Fire Swedish Fire Knife retails for $39, but I picked mine up on Amazon for $29 new.
I will be doing a video on the knife as soon as I get my camera and computer working together again… long story, let me just say that you need to stay out of creeks when the rocks are slick.
I really like this knife and it is now a full time part of my kit.
Until I get my own video up, here is the promotional video by Light my Fire of Sweden.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
ULA Ohm 2.0 Review
This year I got a new pack. I traded in my Granite Gear Nimbus Trace for a lighter pack in an effort to reduce pack weight. I read somewhere that it is a good idea when reducing base weight to start at the base.. the pack.
So I did my homework and decided based on research and other reviews to buy the ULA Ohm 2.0 Pack.
The ULA Ohm 2.o is made by Ultralight Adventure Equipment in Logan, Utah. They specialize in Ultralight packs but don't be afraid, you don't have to be an Ultralight backpacker to use one of their packs. I am not UL hiker, but I do like the idea of watching what I pack and reducing the weight of the gear I carry.
The ULA Ohm 2.0 is a great pack. It is super comfortable and big enough for everything I carry, even winter gear. You do need to watch your weight though with this and all UL Packs. They are made of lighter materials and while they are durable, they do need to be handled with a bit more care. The Ohm is recommended for weights that do not exceed 30 lbs. My winter gear this year was right at 23 lbs and when I added additional water, it pushed the limit of the pack. I was careful packing it and certainly watched the seems as I went out on the last couple trips. The pack held and even at the weight max was real comfortable.
Here are the specs on the pack: Volume Breakdown= 2,100 cu in. in the main body, the front mess pocket holds 500 cu in, the 2 side pockets hold 400 cu in each. The hip belt pockets each hold 100 cu in each and the draw string extension collar (top of the pack) will hold an additional 500 cubic inches. That gives you a grand total of 3,960 cubic inches of space. That is a ton of room. The packs weight, unpacked is 29 ounces.
The ULA web site describes the pack as "A full featured, full suspension (active) ultralight pack that offers exceptional load control, on-trail functionality, and full body compression.
Combining a 1.2 oz carbon fiber/delrin active suspension hoop and exceptional compression, the Ohm 2.0 maximizes load control, load transfer, pack compression, and overall pack rigidity in an ultralight package.
1.9 oz ripstop nylon, ULA 210 Robic, and ULA's proven construction methods insure the Ohm 2.0 is built to last despite its minimal weight. The Ohm 2.0 Backpack is now available in four colors, standard green and purple blaze in the ULA 210 Robic, and Woodland and Multicam in 500 Cordura."
The standard features of the pack are: The suspension hoop, a must when lifting a lower a pack made with UL materials. Internal Pad holster that comes with a CCF pad. This is your back panel. A contoured padded hip belt. I love the way they have made the adjusting straps on the hip belt. The double strap allows for more adjustments to be made adding to the overall comfort and ride of the pack. Hip belt pockets. Contoured Shoulder straps that are comfortable and don't dig in. The bif front mess pocket, easy access to the things that you need right away. I keep my rain gear, first aid kit, and that kind of stuff in there. Top compression strap keeps the pack tight and allows for flexible loading options. Ice Axe/ Pole retention loops hold your trekking poles or your ice axe snug. All of those features make the pack a great pack for weekend trips as well as extended days on the trail.
Inside of the pack is a hydration pouch that will hold a bladder up to 2 liters. There is also a removable mesh pouch inside, perfect for your keys, wallet, or even your iPhone.
I have been using this pack for a few months now and can honestly say that I really am happy with it. I love the weight, the construction, the features, the ease of use, and the comfort of the pack. It is solid and well made right here in America.
I highly recommend the ULA Ohm 2.o.
You can see more ULA packs at their website. http://www.ula-equipment.com
If you have questions, comments or ideas on your gear.. let me know.

Just do something…
It has been an interesting week or so and the blog once again, while always on my mind took a back seat to the daily working of being a Scoutmaster. As we prepared for the camp out and then went out on another winter adventure the Scouts of Troop 664 kept me busy
and looking for new ways to reach our Scouts and peak their interest.
On our way home from our camp out yesterday, I had an interesting conversation with the Senior Patrol Leader of our Troop. We were talking about the morning and some of the challenges that we encountered. Taking advantage of a good teaching and learning opportunity we shifted the conversation to what we could have done different. James talked about how he could have been a better example in that he should have got packed up before the young guys allowing him to be more available to assist were needed and he could have worked better as a team with the Assistant Senior Patrol Leader and the Patrol Leaders. I told him that he was right, a leader needs to always set the expectation by being a good example and that pretty much goes for everything. We talked about some of the decision-making of the group this weekend and why some Scouts seem to get it and others don't. It comes down to decision-making and common sense. We agreed that common sense is not as common as we would like and then talked more about decision-making.
When it comes to making decisions, especially in a cold weather camping environment, there is a simple rule in that for every action there is a positive or negative reaction. The worst thing that a leader can do is nothing.
A Scouts skills is the knowledge base that his decisions are formulated and made from. The Scout can choose to do the right thing, or he can choose to do nothing. What we have seen from our Scouts is that when the make the choice to do nothing, they are cold, wet, and tired. In short, they do not have a good time. We have watched as Scouts that do not have fun on camp outs tend not to camp as much and lose interest in Scouting. There are a few arguments for and against. I have been told on one hand that it is my job to make sure that the Scouts have fun. I have also been told to stay the course. Now, before anyone jumps down my throat about this, let me tell you that we are not weeding kids out by camping in the snow and maintaining our Troop camping as backpackers. Every Scout that joins our Troop knows how we camp and see the calendar so they know when, where, and how we are camping, climbing, and find adventure. They make a choice at that time to join us or find another troop. As long as our Patrol leaders council wants to head down that trail, we will. We do a great job in training up our Scouts to be successful. But we require that they make a choice. They need to make a choice to learn or not to learn. That is up to them. Like I have explained over and over again, it is the jobs of the Scoutmaster and the Assistant Scoutmasters to assist Scouts in making it to First Class. I am not to interested in Eagle Scouts, that will come with hard work, determination, and developing as a young man. the skills learned and habits formed on the trail to First Class is the foundation of the making a man. Camping Skills, Citizenship, Fitness, and Character are all elements of the trail to First Class. But the first step on that trail is a choice.
So as I talked with the Senior Patrol Leader on the way home from the camp out we discussed possible reasons why the Scouts we have now are less mentally tough and unwilling to push themselves. Why can they not take what they have learned and apply it? Why have they not made the choice? Is it a lack of training? Is it a lack of want to? Is it something that we have done or failed to do? We could not put our finger on it. Whats different in the Scouts we have this year opposed to the Scouts we crossed over 4 years ago or even 2 years ago? We don't really know. They all come from good homes, great parents, and none of them have learning disabilities… so they all have the ability to learn and make sound choices. So what is it? We will find out I guess.
In the mean time, what does this mean for the Troop? Tonight the PLC met and started getting ready for the next camp out. Next month we will head into the woods to develop our Wilderness Survival Skills. The plan won't change and I am sure that some of the Scouts that have not been having a great time, well, they won't go camping. I asked the PLC what they thought about that.. they said that it was fine, at least they won't have to have bad attitudes on the camp out. I think the boys get tired of dealing with it too. It's that "one bad apple" thing and the majority of the Scouts really would rather camp with the guys that want to be there and have a good time.So what? I think it is great the SPL is aware enough to have this talk. I am encouraged by a PLC that is willing to stay the course and take a part in having a Troop that they want to belong to, that they want to lead, and that they want to share with their friends.
We will have to see where this takes us. For now, we just get ready for the next outing and keep working with the young men that want to be there. These last few months have been challenging for the Scouts of our Troop, some are stronger for it, some developed better leadership skills because of it, and some have made a choice not to camp in the winter. I am ok with all of it.
What do you think? I think that things will be just fine. I think that the Troop will be fine and that we will continue to have great adventures in the future. I think that while some of the Scouts choose to turn away from challenges, most boys want to be challenged and want to see just how far they push themselves. I think this is the way boys are no matter how hard we try to be over protective and keep them in a bubble. Some how.. some way.. boys need to be boys and Scouts gives them that outlet when we provide the program and allow them to make a choice. That's what I think. I am curious to see what your thoughts are.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
And the Winner is…

Bonus Video – Grilled Cheese
Had all the stoves out today and it got to be about lunch time… Well…
Here's some Bonus video of a nice lunch meal on the trail… Oh and the Cheese cake (left over from the Cheese Cake factory).. a great bonus to the lunch. YUM!
Enjoy and Have a Great Scouting Day!
Sunday Coffee… tea
This week we talk about cook kits, more to the point of stoves and the pots I use with them.
We also get into a bit of Knife talk and have a nice cup of Tea.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Attack of the Snow Blower
This weeks Sunday Coffee with Scoutmaster Jerry is full of coffee and adventure..
This weekend our Troop camped out up at White River on Mt. Hood. It was a great time and lots of skills practiced and learned.
Sunday Morning around 4:00 AM our Troop encountered an unexpected attack. We typically camp on the other side of a creek that flows adjacent to the White River snow park. This is a good location as this camp out is always the first Winter camp out in snow for the new Scouts. The location provides a good bail out plan and the comfort that the cars are not to far if we need them. Anyway… this year the snow bridge was gone so we picked a camp site a bit closer to the parking lot. We have camped there before, but this year was different. At 4:00 AM the Oregon Department of Transportation snow crew cleaned up the snow park. They plowed the parking lot and then sent in the snow blower Now I don't know about you but I had never felt the wrath of 100 lbs of snow shot from a cannon before.. until this morning!
Hope you enjoy the video.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Rachel has such a fun personality that makes those some time awkward poses easy and fun. My husband is a shy guy and things kinds of things makes him nervous, but Rachel made it fun! She was even willing to hike to our desired location. Even with all the mosquitoes, she made the experience fun and wonderful. Her work is beautiful! We love it!

Rachel is not only a great photographer, but she has a great personality. She knows when o take charge and direct people (like when trying to corral our families to get a big group shot), she was able to capture the ceremony without anyone noticing her, and she is always smiling and bubbly. Her assistant was equally as fabulous. Rachel is easy to work with, on-time, extremely professional, flexible, good at communicating, and open to ideas. I would love to work with her again and would definitely recommend her.

Rachel was our wedding photographer for our June 2014 wedding on Oahu. Because we planned our wedding from afar we were unable to actually meet Rachel until the day of. This caused no issues at all as she was incredibly friendly, organized and easy to work with right off the bat. I had multiple guests comment to me throughout the night how much they liked her and what a great job they thought she was doing. My father is very in to photography and he mentioned to me that he felt comfortable putting his own camera down after he saw her working. I haven't seen my pictures yet but based on my interactions with Rachel up to this point I have no doubt that they will be fantastic! Highly recommended.

Rachel is an outstanding photographer. Her underwater for photos for the trash the dress is what stood out from all the other photographers my husband and I had to choose from. Our pictures came out beautifully. She is easy to work with and quick to respond. She is also willing to work around your budget. I highly recommend Rachel for all your photography needs!

It was such a pleasure to work with Rachel. She has an amazing eye for great photographs, and she is so lovely to be around as well. She was efficient, yet fun and had great ideas. We also did an engagement shoot with Rachel, and she was very flexible with the shoot and helped us to create some beautiful photographs.
I would recommend her to work with anyone I know, and I know my friends from the mainland getting married were wishing she lived in their wedding locations.

If you are looking for a reliable, easy going, fast to respond and helpful photographer; look no further. You need to hire Rachel! She made our wedding day a breeze, she not only helped capture our special day, she helped coordinate it. She made sure our timing for all the pictures were on point. We didn't have to ask for anything because that was already discussed before the wedding day. Out of all the vendors I worked with she was the only one that made my planning easy.We still look back at our pictures and am so thankful for the pictures she produced. All of my friends and family are so jealous :). From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Rachel! You are an amazing artist and have your craft down!

I highly recommend choosing Rachel Robertson as your photographer. She is professional, reliable, responds quickly to your emails, and is so easy and fun to work with. Coming from New York, I only met Rachel on my wedding day. From the moment we met, I felt at ease and knew that I chose the right photographer to capture our day. Rachel went out of her way to make the flow of the day so flawless and easy going. We absolutely loved how our wedding pictures came out and couldn't have asked for more. It was perfect!
If you are looking for a photographer to capture any of your lifelong photos, choose Rachel. You will be in great hands and won't be disappointed. We loved working with her so much and hope to work with her again in the near future.
Mahalo Rachel!

Rachel is amazing to work with. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and I was consistently impressed. First, she's great at breaking the ice and making sure you don't feel like a weirdo. My husband didn't want anything to do with engagement photos, but ended up loving them and is now Rachel's biggest fan. Secondly--the pictures are brilliant. She manages to capture genuine, beautiful moments. It's not over the top silly or canned, and ultimately these photos will always remind us of a truly happy moment.

She captured all the moments any bride would dream of having. I honestly love the work she did and would recommend her to everyone.

Gorgeous photos! We knew we wanted Rachel as our photographer before we had anything else decided for our wedding.
It's always best to come to the table with some ideas of pictures you'd like, but even if you can't, Rachel will make sure that you have a variety of poses and settings for you. We had so much fun doing our underwater engagement photos- Rachel was a pro in the water! As for our wedding day, we had so many gorgeous shots. Rachel really captured the light and the moment, we are so glad that she was available for our special day.

Our experience with Rachel has been absolutely AWESOME! We booked her for our two engagement shoots (one in New York and another in Hawaii) and our wedding day. She is very creative and easy to get along with so it made our photo sessions go by very smoothly. She's always open to ideas, whether you talked about it before hand or even if you think about it while shooting that day. Although she is fun to work with, she still maintains a level of professionalism. She's very good with time, meaning that she is able to efficiently capture the special moments of the day without taking up too much of your mingling time but more importantly without pushing back the agenda. With this skill it allowed us to spend more time with our wedding guests and when our group photos were taking longer than expected she was able to effectively communicate with our guests so that the process moved along faster. Her style of photography has a nice balance of posed and candid photos. It's very easy to contact her and she's always pretty quick with responding to emails and phone calls. I truly love the photos that she's captured and I would definitely recommend her!

We chose Rachel as our photographer for our destination Hawaii wedding and we're so glad that we did. She is extremely professional, creative and talented. My husband and I are not good at taking pictures but she made us feel relaxed and comfortable and directed us in a way to create beautiful photos. We are thrilled with how the photos came out-absolutely amazing! Rachel's sweet demeanor, great personality, and beautiful photos made her a great fit for us. We loved working with Rachel and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

I can't say enough about Rachel. She is lots of fun, super nice and always smiling even when everyone is hot and sweaty! As far as the photography itself, one thing that I think many brides have a hard time doing is choosing your final set of pics. Some photographers only allow you to choose a set number of pics or they only commit to taking a certain amount of pics during your wedding. Well we did not have to worry about that with Rachel. We received digital images of all the pics taken. No stress! What else can a bride ask for.
When you're planning a destination wedding you usually don't get the luxury of meeting your vendors before your wedding day. We were so lucky that Rachel was visiting NYC and not only did we get to meet her, but she also shot our engagement pics while she was here. We were super excited about having Rachel capture our wedding day. A year later we were at our venue and it was a warm day and the trade winds were kicking in. She helped me deal with the heat by telling me we were going to wait to the last possible minute to put on my dress to take my getting ready picks. I was so grateful! I don't know if it was the fact that I had a small wedding, but we got through our pictures (group and bride/groom) rather quickly. Which was so awesome because we got to join our guests and enjoy our cocktail hour. This was a really big deal for us, because we wanted to take part in everything we had planned for the day.
Our sunset pictures were by the beach and I was ready to climb rocks,etc for Rachel...lol. I couldn't wait to see the pics and less than two months later not only did we make her blog but we had our pics! They were beautiful!! I think I went through them every day for two weeks : ) We are still getting compliments on the pics. Since many of our friends and family did not get to go to Hawaii for our wedding, the pictures really capture the whole day and gave them an inside look to the happiest day of our lives.

We loved working with Rachel and are thrilled with how our wedding pictures turned out!! Rachel is fun and bubbly and helped us throughout the day with the normal progression of events by letting us know when we should cut the cake and do the first dance. Without her, our wedding day would have never gone so smoothly. My husband and I are pretty laid back so we hadn't given much thought to poses and locations but Rachel took care of everything and directed us and our wedding party throughout the day. If there was something that we wanted to capture, she was very open to taking pictures and even gave us the best light and positioning. Thanks Rachel for making our wedding day a day that we can remember forever!!

We love Rachel! My sister chose her as her wedding photographer and after seeing her photos I was convinced! Rachel is very nice and easy going and makes you feel very comfortable which is key to capturing great photos! She was very flexible and made sure to accommodate our every request including a group photo which could be challenging to capture but she did with ease! We can't wait to see our wedding photos and would definitely choose her again!

Bruce Ballard, Heather Gerstenkorn, Ted Davis, & Louis McClam w/ the collection.
For many wine lovers, a "Bucket List" milestone is a vertical tasting. A so-called "Vertical" is a succession of vintages of the same wine. It is a rare event in itself, but the assembly of seventeen vintages of Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon comprises what several attendees termed "the wine event of a lifetime..."
An assemblage of three different and distinct vineyards: Red Tail, Miraval, and Geyserville, Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet is one food-friendly and cellar-worthy wine. It showcases rich boysenberry, chocolate and cherry-liqueur fruit, some of the hallmark flavors of estate grown California Cabernets. We often marvel how the best of these wines contain those unmistakeable flavors and this lineup didn't disappoint. Highlights among the wines were the 1993, 1995, 1997 and 2008 vintages although all of the wines drank well without sediment or noticeable past-prime flavors.
Guests dined on the following menu paired with a flight of selected wines to accent and enchance each in turn:
Lobster, Pistachio & Vanilla-Mandarin Orange "Taco" in Lettuce Wrap, Chilled Fresh Shrimp "Remoulade" & Cajun Caviar
Flight I 1993-1997
Cashews, Macadamias & Fresh Roasted Pecans
Edamame Hummus & Artichoke Tapenade
Parmesan Stravecchio, & Triple Gouda Cheeses
Wild Boar Salami, Spanish Iberico Ham, Air Dried Beef
Fresh Baked Breads
Flight II 1998-2001
Gumbo w/ Duck & Jacob's Andouille Sausage
Arancini w/ Asiago, White Truffle & Chive
Flight III 2002-2005
Loin Lamb Chops w/ Pesto & Arugula Salad
Anson Mills Creamy Polenta w/ Morel & Porcini Mushroom Ragu
Herb Crusted Prime Rib of Beef
Yukon Gold Gratin Dauphinoise
Flight IV 2006-2009
1985 Delaforce Porto
& 2001 Chateau Rieussec Sauternes
Chocolate Truffles, Gorgonzola Dolce,
Fresh Pears, Moravian Ginger Cookies
Our thanks to all the attendees and everyone who helped make this event possible:
Bob and Jillian Mack, John and Lisa Cogar, Edie and Walter Holland, Ron Lutz, Matt Misenar, Bill and Ginny Henderson, Bruce Ballard and Heather Gerstenkorn, Ted Davis, and Louis McClam. Also to Jamie Venable, Teresa Cornacchione, Sal Cornacchione and David Elam.
Special thanks to Penny Peirce, E.C. Jones and Graddie Lane!

50+: Live Better, Longer
Getting Help from Other Caregivers
Assisted Living Facilities continued...
If someone is treating your parent in a way that you think is wrong or which you don't understand, ask questions before you accuse.
|"I went crazy when I heard Patsy, who takes care of Mom, yelling at her at the top of her lungs as I walked in the room. But when I pulled the curtain, Mom was sitting there smiling up at Patsy as she struggled to get her hearing aid on!"
|-Murial Behar
One gift at a time is better than a barrage of presents. Be mindful of the limited space your loved one has available.
Think about how you will structure your visit before you go. If two activities are planned, make sure you have time for each. Have a backup plan or two and go armed with plenty of flexibility.
Try not to show your disappointment if your parent prefers to rest quietly instead of going on the elaborate picnic you planned.
Keep your loved one aware of the passage of time. Mark off the days on a calendar as they pass, and decorate the room as various holidays approach.
Make Grandma's room (or her half of the room) as homey as possible. If all of her favorite things just won't fit, bring in a few and then replace them with others as the seasons change. Seeing missed objects will be like seeing old friends.
Send mail often, even if you visit in person. Older adults love to get mail, especially if they get to read it in front of their friends and share any good news.
If your parent is placed in an activity group that you think is inappropriate, give it some time before you intervene.
|"Mom in a volleyball group? This is a woman who hated sports with a passion. As it turns out, their version of 'volleyball' involves throwing a ball around from one person to another, and she doesn't seem to mind it at all. In fact, she enjoys the company and even boasts about her new involvement in 'sports.'"
|-Syl Faerber
Each time you visit, (surreptitiously) check Mom's skin for irritations that may lead to bedsores. Massages are not only a good way to prevent bedsores, but they also provide some great shared moments of intimacy.
Be your father's advocate. Let him know that you are there to fight for him at times when he can't fight for himself. Make sure he knows that you will always defend him and that you are always going to be there for him.
Get to know every member of the staff, and address them by their names. Let them know who you are. Before you address anyone on the staff, introduce yourself, even if you think they should know your name by now.

With the unemployment rate for young people stuck in double digits, a growing chorus is calling for more training in skilled labor and entrepreneurship.
Two such proponents are here in Charlotte.
Henry Rock, who moved from New York in 2012, is working with the Urban League of Central Carolinas to launch what he calls an entrepreneurs academy a 15-week, hands-on program that would train at-risk men of color ages 18 to 29 to start and run their own businesses. At the same time, Hans Plotseneder, a former Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools teacher who twice ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the school board, has applied for a charter to launch Entrepreneurs High School, which, he says, would render students work-ready upon completion in four to five years. Plotseneder would serve as principal.
Both ideas are intriguing enough. But as difficult as entrepreneurship is, can potential business owners be identified, trained and churned out like mass-produced widgets?
Neither man is promising to do that, but both say early training can go a long way toward addressing two chronic problems facing the U.S. economy the high rate of youth unemployment, especially in black communities, and the much-talked-about shortage of skilled workers that bedevils American business.
Rock, who is African-American, comes to his conviction from a purely Afro-centric point of view. Too many young black males are dropping out of schools, going to prisons and otherwise being left out of the evolving economy, he says. So rather than continue to do what has clearly not worked, why not identify young males with high potential and train them to be change agents who run their own businesses.
In researching his idea, Rock said he was especially impressed by a former drug dealer he met in Durham. After the man was let out of prison, Rock said, he started an industrial cleaning business which, after about five years, had grown to $2.5 million in annual revenue and employed 70 full- and part-time workers. Plotseneder, on the other hand, takes his conviction more from what he experienced in the classroom during 11 years of teaching. He recalled a former student who wanted to drop out rather than spend time in classes that would not help him realize his one true dream to take over his grandfathers garage where he had worked since childhood learning automotive mechanics.
According to Plotseneders charter application, Entrepreneurs High would target students ages 15 and 16 and provide them with middle-skill knowledge and hands-on experience. For those who decide to start their own businesses, a fifth-year option would be available.
While Plotseneders students might not study Shakespeare or learn world history, they would be taught the academic skills needed to run their particular ventures, he said. A carpenter, for example, would get the math training needed to be proficient at calculating areas or measuring angles.
If Plotseneders charter is approved, he said he would welcome the first class to Entrepreneurs High in August 2014. As for Rock, hes talking with local businesses and individuals looking for someone to sponsor a pilot for the entrepreneurs academy, which he estimates would cost about $125,000.
Although different in concept, both programs also would teach the more subtle skills needed to run a successful business how to negotiate deals, how to make a good impression, how to maintain financial accounts.
Are programs such as these a silver bullet for chronic unemployment or the high rate of academic failure among African-American males? Probably not.
But given the dire predictions from those who warn that a permanent underclass may be developing in urban America, what do we have to lose by trying something new?

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email
ALBANY, GA (WALB) – An Albany city commissioner stumbles upon an illegal dump site in East Albany. Commissioner Jon Howard was walking his dog when he noticed household garbage in an area off Thornton Drive. The farther he walked, the worse it got. He wants it cleaned up, and he wants people who live in Albany to take more pride in their community.
Commissioner Jon Howard does not like litter, and he especially doesn't like it in East Albany, his ward, a place he's been working to clean up for years.
Jon Howard knew some litter existed at this site in East Albany, but he didn't know to what extent. He said, "It certainly makes you feel completely disappointed because we do have rules and regulations and codes in the books." Codes that are obviously being ignored.
He said, "It will give you a sour taste in your stomach when you see individuals in your ward have no respect, no community pride, just do things like this, just for the spite of it."
In the wooded area just off of Thornton Drive, we found tires, old TV's, which contain lead and mercury, as well as couches and other household appliances. All trash that belongs at the dump, not dumped in the community.
Howard said, "Individuals just don't have pride, have that community pride anymore. For someone to do something like this just despicable." Now this illegal dump will have to be cleaned up by Albany public works, via taxpayer dollars.
Howard says he believes it will take several thousand dollars, at least, to get rid of all this trash. A lot of the trash on the site appears to be dumped by contractors or landlords who've cleaned out properties.
If code enforcement is able to pin down the culprits, they'll be charged. Commissioner Howard believes the trash is being dumped on the property at night or on weekends.
If you've seen anyone dump trash there, you should call the city information hotline at 311.
If you see someone in the act, call the non-emergency police dispatch number. That's 431-2132.

By Jade Bulecza - bio | email ADEL, GA (WALB) –A south Georgia soldier who was seriously wounded in the Fort Hood shooting will undergo more surgery Wednesday.
Sgt. Paul Martin is recovering and he's looking forward to coming home to Adel. His family there can hardly wait to see him.
U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Paul Martin recalls being shot four times during the mass shooting at Ft. Hood on November 5.
"I was shot in my knee on the left side of my left leg, in both arms by the biceps, and once in my left side of the middle part of my back," said Sgt. Martin.
He just found out he has a fifth bullet still lodged in his lower back. The surgeon will take out tomorrow. He's now staying in the Warrior Transition units at Fort Hood.
"I've met President Obama and his wife, President Bush and his wife," said Sgt. Martin.
He's also met several well-known army generals he says his commanders haven't even had a chance to meet.
Sgt. Martin won't make it back to Adel for Thanksgiving but plans to get there in three to four weeks. Family members are anxiously awaiting his return."
His relatives want to see for themselves that he's all right. His first cousin can't wait for his return so she can help take care of him.
"It's sort of like in the bible where they wanted to touch Jesus, so that's what we want to do, we just want to touch Paul," said Carolyn Walton, Sgt. Martin's first cousin.
Before Sgt. Martin was shot multiple times, he was at the Ft. Hood processing center preparing for a deployment to Iraq. His crew had already been deployed and he was the last to go because he had to go back to Adel for his dad's funeral on November 1st.
"I'm thankful to be alive," said Sgt. Martin. "I'm thankful that I can see my family again and I'm here to be with them again."
"He should be home in a few weeks and I can't wait," said Vanessa Turner, Sgt. Martin's sister.
He's been undergoing occupational and physical therapy to regain his strength.
Sergeant Martin is married to Velda and they have three sons in their twenties. Sgt. Martin hopes to serve several more years before retiring.

Elven Legacy - Ranger Review (PC)
Posted by Amy Baldry, Nov 09, 2009 11:03
Ranger is the new expansion to Elven Legacy from 1C Company and Paradox Interactive. Elven Legacy: Ranger was released on 20th October 2009 and offers 16 new missions, 12 new spells and more tactical innovation than its predecessor. But how much has this actually improved the game and does it offer much more in the way of new gameplay?
In answer to this question I would certainly say it does! Not only is the storyline gripping and captivating it's even in English so you can get engaged with the game rather than trying to translate the Russian and make the most of what you think is going on. The story starts with a Ranger who is sent off in order to prepare the people of the world of Illis against the new order of Marcus which has long been isolated. You find yourself fighting ogres and trolls as well as meeting up with valuable allies in order for the good forces to build up strength against the evil.
If you've never played the original Eleven Legacy then the game play itself may not be so easy for newcomers although I personally didn't find it too hard to get to grips with the missions. Later on in the game they are much harder than when you first start out on the island of Illis, mainly because of the tactics involved and I found that if I didn't get it right I would have to restart the mission which could get very frustrating. But in a way this was good because it challenged me and I didn't get bored easily.
Graphically there was no disappointment, plenty of colour, character movement and attention to detail within the game UI. Character units and movement seemed to run as smooth as it looked. I was very pleased to find that the sound was in English so that I could understand the storyline and get totally engaged with the game. This was a factor with the original Elven Legacy that maybe didn't make the game catch my eye as much as what this one has done.
There's certainly a lot to think about tactically as you place your units at the beginning of each battle and plan each attack as the enemy wipes out each of your less able units you really need to figure out what units and spells are needed to use against each type of enemy. If you get it wrong and fail the mission it can seem like a bit of a chore trying to differentiate your style or tactic but I found it challenging and engrossing nonetheless.
I'm looking forward to the next two expansion releases to see what great new content they offer, this latest installment has been surprising and you can really tell where the developers would like to go with this production, if you are a fan of turn based games I would seriously recommend adding this title to your collection. Elven Legacy Ranger is not to be missed!

Boca Raton, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/20/2014 -- The Universal Life Church is a source of daily thoughts, prayers and daily Bible readings and motivates every believer to start studying their Bible on a daily basis to strengthen their connection with God. The church teaches people of how to achieve this daily Bible reading, which is vitally important for their spiritual life, even in their hectic lifestyle.
The Universal Life Church suggests a few methods that will help people increase their love for God's Word. They are specified below:
- People need to determine the best time of the day for reading. This may vary for different individuals, as some like to read in the morning before doing anything else, while others feel more concentrated in the evening, before going to bed.
- Married people may need to find a quiet hour without engagements and a calm place without noise, where they can be alone with their God.
- Making a commitment for their meetings with God is another motivating factor that works for many people. Many people find out that these minutes they spend with God actually save them a lot more time during the day, as they are more concentrated in the work and do fewer mistakes, or do not waste their time in vain.
- The desire for Bible study increases more and more when people do it on a regular basis and decreases when they are not serious and miss out days.
- God can certainly increase the desire and motivation of believers to study their Bibles and to make it a priority in their life, if they pray Him about this.
The Universal Life Church offers people daily Bible reading, inspirational thoughts and prayer that people can take advantage of. All, who are interested in this opportunity, may visit http://ulcnewsblog.com/ every day to find the new portion of their daily motivation for regular Bible study.
About The Universal Life Church
The Universal Life Church is a Bible based organization that motivates people to get in closer relationships with God through daily Bible reading, prayer and working for Him.

A blazing stove-top element has been blamed for igniting a house fire in Masterton that left a mother and her three children homeless.
Fire safety officer Bruce Cole said the blaze on Sunday had been started by a stove-top element that was left on in the kitchen of the Montgomery Cres home.
The fire started soon after 8am on Sunday.
The mother and her children were sleeping at the time but fled their home unharmed.
They were outside by the time firefighters arrived.
Mr Cole said burn patterns inside the gutted home and the fact that the element switch was in the on position were "very clear indications that all pointed to unattended cooking as the cause of the fire".
"It happens too often and it's so easy to prevent, and a danger the fire service will continue to highlight."
The woman declined to be named and it was understood the owner of the two-bedroom unit had rehoused the family at a Masterton motel.
Firefighters on Sunday said the first fire crew to arrive had extinguished the blaze in less than 10 minutes and fortunately prevented major structural damage to the home.
Meanwhile, several community groups have been working to help replace essential belongings and possessions the woman and her children lost in the fire.
Masterton District Council community services manager Jan Gerritsen said council support had been sought through the mayoral fund. Victim Support, Wairarapa Resource Centre, Supergrans and the Salvation Army were also involved.
"It's hideous this family has had to walk out of their home and leave everything behind and I'm sure our community will rally behind them because that's how our community is."

When you're pregnant, your dreams of your baby likely involve coos, gurgles, sweetness, and smiles. But unless you have some sort of alien baby from the planet sunshine, the fact is your baby is going to fuss. More than you ever thought humanly possible.
Yes, some babies are fussier than others (God bless the moms of colicky children), but all of them have their moments, and trust me, those moments will be some of the longest of your life. You can try singing, and rocking, and baby whispering, but sometimes you need a little more help to stop the fussing. Here are five products moms swear by that are worth a try.
What products would you add to the list?
Image via bbaunach/Flickr
Chamomile is fantastic for a teething baby, or even when baby is just fussy. You can purchase Boiron's Camilia drops, make chamomile tea from the flowers, or make or buy a tincture. Whatever you choose, it is absolutely amazing how well and quickly it works.
The only things that calmed my fussy baby was putting him in the slin, nursing and taking a walk, everyting else made him angrier. But I guess nursing isn't a product...
car rides worked wonders but weren't always possible..... so putting my son his carrier car seat on top of the dryer with it turned on worked wonders ( of course always staying close by )
my kids need a binx, their Babas (blankets knitted by me) and music to be calmed by or help fall asleep whether its me singing lullabies or we do Korn for my son and Adam Lambert for my daughter and both are calm or asleep in minutes
Used them all besides the binky, just can not stand those things.
Binky, large swaddling blanket and a crib soother are lifesavers but even so sometimes nothing beats a good cuddle.
Mine loved the smell of rose water and rose essential oil (diluted with jojoba oil). Perhaps because I wore it all the time. I would spray him with the rose water, or just dab a little oil on his neck, and it seemed to put him right to sleep.
He also loved to be worn in a sling.

Hallo everybunny! Hop u have a buntiful Easter weekend!
(Link courtesy of Cute Overload)
Just as everyone was starting to frolic in the sunshine and grow green thumbs, the snow returned. I keep peering out my window at the pots I just planted with organic basil and rosemary. There are a few impossibly tender looking little green shoots peeking out of the soil, looking so vulnerable in the face of this unseasonable onslaught of icy weather.
I hope all of the gardens, flowers, blooming bushes and trees, and farms around the UK survive the chill!
Sneaky Umbrellas!
Let's celebrate the fact that it is raining throughout much of the UK today, especially in areas that haven't seen rain for a long time and are experiencing drought. While I do love me some sunshine, the rain has really brought out the green in the backyard (even the mildew on the tiles, so lovely). Also, I rarely pass up an opportunity to stomp moodily through a grey streetscape while thinking unimaginably deep and ponderously philosophical thoughts.
Unfortunately, my umbrella has taken advantage of its extended vacation to slip away somewhere very secret and unfathomable. I swear it was just sitting innocently by the couch a few days (or weeks?) ago. But now, it has flapped off somewhere, probably in the company of other umbrellas, to sit by a pool and sip fancy drinks with (you guessed it) umbrellas in them.

Gov. Cuomo signs 911 Good Samaritan bill into law; NY largest state to enact legislation9-1-1 in the News, Legal | Caitlin | July 22, 2011 at 8:22 am
NEW YORK — Gov. Cuomo yesterday signed into law a bill aimed at curbing the number of deaths related to accidental drug or alcohol overdose, making New York the largest state to enact such legislation.
The law provides some protection from prosecution to people seeking emergency help in an overdose situation, which is intended to encourage people to call 911 and potentially save lives without fearing arrest for drug or alcohol possession.
"No one should go to jail for trying to save a life," said Hiawatha Collins, a leader and Board member of VOCAL-NY, one of the groups that supported the legislation.
"New York is making clear that saving lives needs to be our priority, not locking people up," he added.
Sponsored by State Sen. John DeFrancisco (R-Syracuse) and Assemblyman Dick Gottfried (D-Manhattan), the bill passed the Senate unanimously and the Assembly near unanimously.
New Mexico, Connecticut and Washington state enacted similar laws in the last few years, and Massachusetts and Illinois are currently considering their own measures.
