|My dad James Large and me about 1957
I am in the same boat. My parents did not own a camera. The dearth of my own childhood photos has made me treasure those photos and home movies I have been able to obtain from other relatives. Luckily, sharing photographs and home movies has never been easier. (The main problem today is getting obstinate relatives to share--the excuse of not wanting to allow the photographs themselves to "travel" is no longer valid, but some people are still stingy about sharing, even of copies over the Internet. It is one of the most common complaints I hear.).

Moving Picture: Rock drummer teaches youngsters his craft
Barret Harvey was just 10 years old when he decided he wanted to be a drummer and he's never strayed from that career path.
"The drums chose me, I didn't choose them," says Harvey, who grew up in Joliet and now lives in Downers Grove. "I knew I was going to be a drummer. I had to be a drummer."
Now 40, Harvey plays in a southern-style rock band called The Righteous Hillbillies, has done jingle work for companies ranging from NASCAR to Disney, and spends two days a week at the School of Rock in Naperville, teaching kids the art and craft of drumming.
He says he was inspired by a high school teacher to share his knowledge with others and began offering lessons immediately after graduation. He still finds time to work with students, no matter how busy his own schedule becomes.
He currently has a dozen students and says he loves to teach them multiple styles -- including jazz and West African Lingala -- that they can apply to their rock beats. He also makes sure the youngsters watch videos of famous drummers such as the late Buddy Rich to help pick up pointers.
When students ask him how he keeps getting all his gigs, his answer is pretty simple: "I show up prepared, I show up early, I know my material and I'm not drinking and drugging."
Harvey says his parents insisted he learn the rudiments of drumming, which gave him a more traditional style that's a little jazz-based.
He was just 17 when he sat in with an old-time dance band in Joliet for the first time.
"All my buddies were flipping burgers, but I was playing bossa nova with guys 75 and 80 years old," he says. "It was a great experience."
Harvey was still in college when he got his first record deal and he hasn't stopped performing since.
His band, The Righteous Hillbillies, will play June 22 during the Naper Nights celebration at Naper Settlement.
Ask him about his secret for success in the music business and Harvey reflects on advice from his grandfather.
"If you're early you're on time, if you're on time you're late and if you're late you're a jerk," Harvey says.

The Digital 395 project is as hard as it comes
"As hard as it comes."
That's what the man in charge of Digital 395 said about the rush to get the massive project completed by its July 2013 deadline.
Not an easy feat – laying 583 miles of spun glass high speed optical cable from Barstow to Reno.
"If we don't get it done by July 1, 2013, the money goes away," said Michael Ort, CEO of Praxis Associates and the original mind behind the $101 million Digital 395 project that is right now under way out your back door.
In fact, the light blue and white trucks of the project's many surveyors and planners have been plying Eastern Sierra towns almost daily for the last several months, with plans to step up activity as the snow melts.
The scale of the project, and the challenges that go with it, are keeping Ort awake at night, even as he said it would get done on time.
He's is trying to figure out how to get the project's environmental analysis, rights of ways and every other detail through a tangled maze of more than 19 local, federal and state agencies, none of which have ever done such a huge project, let alone coordinated with other agencies on a project of this scope.
"We are the second biggest broadband project in the country that was funded from the federal governments $4 billion in grants from ARRA (American Reinvestment and Recovery Act) telecommunication projects," he said.
"And the time to do it is tight."
And although the end result will look innocuous enough; 583 miles of thumb-sized cable buried deep in a narrow trench and covered with dirt, rock, sage and juniper, the effects will be anything but.
The project stands as one of those almost impossible-to-understand-from -here things that will nevertheless transform the opportunities and pathways for the Eastern Sierra.
"The biggest infrastructure project ever to hit the Eastern Sierra since the L.A. Aqueduct," said Mono County Supervisor Hap Hazard.
"This valley had the L.A. Aqueduct to mark the agricultural age, Highway 395 to mark the Industrial Age, and now, you will have Digital 395 to mark the digital age," Ort said.
"These will be the projects that have shaped this valley the most profoundly in all its long and storied history."
"Imagine what life would be like if, in the 1990s, the internet, cell phones, fax machines, voice mail and smart phones hadn't come to the Eastern Sierra and we were here now without them. That's what it would be like in five, 10 years, here, if this project hadn't gotten funded," he said.
It might sound like hyperbole, but that was easier to say before the $101 million in federal and state funding was tied down for good.
The project was one of the top three recommended by the state of California for funding, since it would act as a redundancy in connectivity, should anything disastrous befall either side of the Sierra.
Or, before the image of what exactly can be done with the between 10 and 40 gigabytes of data per second starts to sink in.
Although at first some local broadband providers were skeptical about the project competing with their services, Ort said increasingly, they are on board now.
The schools, hospitals, military institutions, and government agencies that straggle along U.S. 395 have been on board all along, seeing the project as a literal lifeline to the future,
Ort was in town this week, running down innumerable details of archeological finds, environmental analysis and just plain old, slow-moving government bureaucracy.
He appealed to a whole group of agency members Thursday, telling them, "We can't do this without your help."
"We need you to put this project as a priority, as many of you already are," he said.
The biggest challenge besides the timeline is that the grant administrators were not necessarily prepared for how complicated it would be to get all the federal and state agencies whose land the project will travel through, signing off on their respective responsibilities for wildlife, archeological finds, etc., in time to meet the fed's self-imposed deadline.
"They seem to think this could be done with a desktop review by them," he said.
Difficulties aside, the project will get done, with the first shovelful of dirt turned sometime in late summer.

As a member of a fund raising organization, I took part in a private tour of Mar-A-Lago. At lunch we didn't get a lovely turkey burger like yours, but a boxed lunch with a ham sandwich and a bag of chips. I think it would rather visit your home next time where I know I would get something delicious.

Your execution of the burger looks great and I love that tip about putting them in the freezer for a little bit before grilling. Really nice post -- and if Karen got a ham sandwich and a bag of chips at Mar a Lago, I, too, would rather lunch at your house!

The state of Alaska refuses to restore a ban on hunting and trapping wolves just outside Denali National Park, despite the killing of a key breeding female and the breakup of an iconic pack viewed by Denali visitors from around the world.
Wolves are protected in the park but not on surrounding state land, where the breeding female was killed last spring. Wildlife groups filed an emergency petition this month calling for the return of a buffer zone east of the park where the wolves would be protected. The state eliminated the buffer in 2010 over the objections of the National Park Service.
Alaska Board of Game members said Wednesday that they'd unanimously decided to reject the petition. The situation doesn't rise to the level of an emergency, said Nick Yurko, a Board of Game member from Juneau.
"They want everything. We just can't give to everybody. Every environmental group would like to shut down the whole state, and we can't do this," Yurko said.
Those behind the petition said the decision made no sense.
"We're denying, really, hundreds of thousands of people the opportunity to see wolves with any reasonable prospects of success, and in exchange a couple trappers get just a little bit more area to trap in," said John Toppenberg, the director of the Alaska Wildlife Alliance, which is among the groups that filed the petition.
The Grant Creek wolf pack lost its two known breeding females last spring, one to natural causes and the other to trapping on state land just outside Denali National Park. The pack was the most-viewed of the wolves in Denali because it denned near the road where visitors go by bus in hopes of seeing wildlife. That's the main way visitors experience the park.
The pack of 15 wolves split up this summer, and now there are just five known to travel together, said Bridget Borg, a biologist at Denali National Park. Borg said the group might include other breeding females and that it was possible the pack would get back together.
The Alaska Department of Fish and Game takes the position that the situation doesn't represent a biological emergency. The state makes management decisions based on the health of an area's entire wolf population rather than a single pack, said Douglas Vincent-Lang, the state director of wildlife conservation.
"In that game management area the population of wolves, while lower than it has been in the past, remains viable and sustainable," Vincent-Lang said.
A spring survey estimated there were about 70 wolves in the 6 million-acre park, with density at a 25-year low, according to park biologist Borg.
Former Alaska Department of Fish and Game commissioner Frank Rue urged the state to restore the buffer zone protecting wolves who stray outside the park. Rue described the pack in a column for Alaska media as "probably the most-viewed wild wolves on the planet," and said the chance for visitors to see wolves in the famous park was now near zero.
An advocacy group called the National Wolfwatcher Coalition said it was canceling scheduled wolf-watching expeditions to Denali, which it asserted would mean about $200,000 less tourism spending in Alaska.
The Board of Game has indicated that it doesn't intend to reconsider the issue of a buffer for Denali wolves until at least 2016.
The petition from wildlife groups argued that the board should do it immediately as an emergency defined in the law as "an unforeseen, unexpected event that . . . threatens a fish or game resource."
Six board members voted by email that it didn't rise to the level of an emergency under the law.
Teresa Sager Albaugh, a board member from Tok, was among those who'd voted against the buffer in 2010. She said she felt at the time that the buffer was essentially an extension of the park boundary into state land.
"It surrenders that chunk of state land and wildlife management to federal interests," she said.

It's no secret that students sometimes leave usable items in their wake as the hustle to summer vacation begins. A Niagara University committee is coordinating an effort to put those items to good use.
Members of the Vincentian Mission Certificate program are organizing a new, end-of-spring semester recycling program that they've termed "2 Good 2 Toss." The service project invites all NU students (and employees) to donate items that are clean and in good condition, as well as nonperishable food, rather than toss them into Dumpsters or leave them behind.
The committee will sell these items at a "garage sale" from noon to 3 p.m. on May 17, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on May 18 in the Kiernan Center on Niagara University's campus. The event is open to the public.
All purchased items must be removed from campus by 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 18.
Monetary proceeds will be given to NU's Office of Campus Ministry and the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Unsold items in good condition will be donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store.
For the past two weeks, graduating students have donated items - such as televisions, beds, chairs, dressers, bicycles, rugs, futons, lamps, athletic equipment, small appliances (coffee pots, toasters, microwaves, etc.), books and even computers - at designated drop-off locations in each residence hall.
"Our goal is twofold: to raise money for the underserved in our community and prevent usable items from ending up in landfills," explained Jay Stockslader, who is participating in the Vincentian Mission Certificate program. "We are proceeding with the philosophy, 'Give as you would give unto the Lord.' "
University employees are welcome to donate items by bringing them to the Kiernan Center's Scaffidi Gymnasium May 13-16.
Questions about "2 Good 2 Toss" may be directed to Stockslader at [email protected].

Legend of Fat Ninja Review
- Publisher: Zephyr Games
- Genre: Entertainment
- Released: 27 Sep, 2012
- Size: 76.3 MB
- Price: FREE!
- It is kind of fun bouncing around the small stages like a loon.
- Striking art style.
- Everything's way too small on the iPhone screen.
- Too much reliance on luck.
Fun without too much substance. If you like chefs bouncing around rural Japan like loons, you'll get your money's worth from this title.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Developers, if you call your game Legend of Fat Ninja, I expect to see a fat ninja. Not just a hearty ninja which is what we have in this offering. The main reason is after graduating from the Iron Skillet Academy, Fat Ninja is on a quest to find the best ingredients possible, but also to crush the competition with his nin-jitsu. This is accomplished by pinballing around the level like a loon, and would be a lot more amusing if our character was just a little heavier. If wishes were horses, right?
The controls take a little while to get used to, but that is more due to the random nature of the gameplay rather than any failing of the controls themselves. You start by sling-shotting Fat Ninja into the level, and after this, anything he makes contact with will not only propel him around, but will refill the dash meter. You get three dashes before having to refill. What this means is you can tap the screen in any direction and Fat Ninja will use his aerial acrobatics to adjust his mid-air trajectory... kind of. He won't make a direct B-line for the direction you've tapped unless it's directly up, down or to the sides. Everything else will cause more unique arcing moves like the spin kick which drops as it travels sideways. These dashes not only need to be regulated but timed well, as the last thing you want is to run out and face plant into the hard concrete, sacrificing a life in the process.
The goal is to ram yourself into the lackey ninjas that are heading to shut down your noodle hut, and then when they have been dealt with, the main chef opens for business and you need to reign supreme down upon him to finish the level. All your adversaries are represented off-screen by small directional bubbles with their faces on them, and this leads into one of the issues of the game, how small everything is.
It's hard to make out the enemies let alone everything you're bouncing off of, and this can really affect gameplay when trying to pinpoint attack the enemy chefs. It's also a shame because the art style used is very striking, but you don't really get to appreciate it because of its size, and also the random flying around you'll be engaging in.
Those who dislike large bouts of luck based gameplay might initially be turned off by Legend of Fat Ninja, but there is actually a learning curve, and after a while, despite all the random bouncing, you'll become quite adept at dashing in the right directions at the right times, and chasing that high score as well as parading your culinary dominance.
Description★ Voted #1 BEST PHYSICS GAME in the JayisGames Best Casual Gameplay of 2012 Awards!
Legend of Fat Ninja combines the skill based gameplay of physics games such as Angry Birds, with the arcade scoring and chaining mechanics of Pinball and point based arcade games. Every time you launch Fat Ninja into a level, you are able to direct his movements by simply tapping in the direction for him to attack. With every object you hit you build up power that allows you to continue. Attempt to build up the highest score possible while keeping enemy ninjas from reaching your noodle stand, and then defeat the resident chef to liberate the famous ingredient he has been hoarding!
"It's easy to play, takes time to master, has some genuinely strange characters, and features ninja chefs. That last bit alone is worth the price of admission!" - JayisGames.com
"A fresh take on familiar physics game, with corpulent ninjas thrown in for good measure." - SlidetoPlay.com
Located near the peak of Mt. Fuji, the famed Iron Skillet Academy has existed for centuries, working to mold the best chefs of the age. The academy teaches a unique style of combat and culinary skills of past ninja masters. It is so difficult that many years have passed without a single graduate!
This year is different however, not one but two ninja chefs have graduated! Kureijita, aka The Fat Ninja, and his sidekick Kaminoha! They have left the Iron Skillet and have now endeavored to open their own famed noodle shop. But in order to be the very best, they will have to find legendary ingredients that other chefs across the land use. In order to do this, they will travel to the homeland of each of these famed chefs and defeat them and their servants, all while serving up the highest quality noodles to the locals!

Girls tennis: Merjian and Lovejoy carry New Canaan over Greenwich
If there has been one constant in the world of FCIAC girl's tennis it has been the dominance that Greenwich and New Canaan have shown for more than half a decade as either the Cardinals or the Rams have won the FCIAC tournament for seven consecutive years. As top seeded GHS hosted No.4 New Canaan in the FCIAC semifinals the rivalry of league heavyweights was renewed and it didn't fail to produce a dramatic finish. With the match knotted at three all it came down to a No.2 doubles showdown between the Greenwich duo of Lizzie Griffin and Mathilde Van Tulder against the Rams' Amanda Merjian and Sarah Lovejoy. After splitting the first two sets and going into a third set tiebreak it was Merjian and Lovejoy that escaped with a nail biting 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7-4) to win the match for New Canaan 4-3 over the Greenwich.
For New Canaan (15-3) head coach Erin Gildea the victory was everything she could ask for in a tennis match and the rivalry once again lived up to its billing.
"It's always close when these two teams face one another and in many ways it's unfortunate that this wasn't the finals," Gildea said. "We came up big in doubles and played them tough in singles as well. This was just a great tennis match with two great programs displaying excellent sportsmanship."
The afternoon's singles action really set the tone for the down to the wire conclusion as GHS No.1 Jenn Deluca and No.2 Sam Stone defeated Jensen Lee and Kate Howard 6-0, 6-1 and 6-2, 6-3 respectively. But the Rams would come right back with No.3 Emily Brand defeating Anna Daccache 6-2, 6-0 and No.4 Caroline Gordon knocking off Hannah Kratky 6-1, 6-4 to even the contest at 2-2.
That put the spotlight on the doubles pairings where New Canaan's No.1 tandem of Sara Greene and Kristin Laub remained unbeaten on the season besting Greenwich's Julia Akerman and Julia Hyland 6-1, 6-3. With the pressure on GHS their No.3 team of Liza Johnson and Mary Cecio answered the bell in impressive fashion defeating Gulianna Savini and Emma Gruber 6-4, 7-6 (7-5).
"It was really nerve wracking playing with so much on the line," Cecio said. "But I feel as though Lizzie and I have performed with more and more confidence as the year has gone on and we showed that today."
The No.3 doubles win set the stage for the dramatic finale in No.2 doubles and the Ram upset. It was not the way GHS (16-2) coach Betsy Underhill hoped her team's tournament run would end but she managed to put the season in perspective.
"I take away from this just how proud I am of this team and how far we've come," Underhill said. "There really weren't any expectations coming into this season in light of how many changes we had and how competitive the league has become. Not making the finals isn't what we hoped for but it's irrelevant compared to how much we improved as a team."
For New Canaan the victory was not only especially sweet coming against their rival but it also provides the Rams with some much needed momentum heading into the FCIAC finals against Ludlowe Wednesday at Wilton High School scheduled for a 4 p.m. start.
"This is a huge confidence boost for our team especially our younger players," Gildea said. "Your hope is always to be clicking at the right time and currently this is the best tennis we've played all season."
On the other hand the Cardinals quickly shift focus to the Class LL State Tournament, which begins next Tuesday.
"Everyone is justifiably a little down after this loss but we're a resilient team who will put this in the past and move forward focused on states," Johnson said. "I'm confident we'll do well once we're in states and hopefully we will get one more shot at New Canaan there."

Allan Parsells, MS, ATC, assistant athletic trainer at Stevens Institute of Technology, went with the women's soccer team to Tobati, Paraguay, to play soccer and train local physicians how to be present on the field. The athletic program hopes to travel to Paraguay every four years. Parsells hates flying and had never been out of the country before, compared to his adventurous, globe-trotting wife. He was nervous about leaving the region he had grown up in.
"I wasn't really too familiar with the whole thing because I'm not a world traveler," Parsells said. "Medical areas were called pharmacies and many of the places, and if they were in the U.S., no one would go to them. It was very primitive."
Parsells and his team competed against women's teams in Paraguay and volunteered their time for community service. They crushed bricks for construction of classrooms and played with children who were part of Team Tobati, the private school project and nonprofit that owned their housing. Team Tobati is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in Tobati, Paraguay through building schools, funding social programs and supporting medical facilities.
Before arriving in the South American country, Parsells knew practically no Spanish and relied on a translator to evaluate injuries while he was working with the women's teams from Paraguay. He said for the first couple times he would run to assist a player, he would forget about the language barrier. Eventually he had to alter the way he normally would diagnose injuries. "I had to do evaluations in the most laymen terms," Parsells said. "It wasn't a typical day at work. I couldn't ask where it hurt or what happened. And it was tough to treat athletes without their medical history."
Parsells, center, speaks with the team from Paraguay with the help of a translator.
As the only athletic trainer traveling with the U.S. team, he also had to worry about the girls' diets. They had no idea what to expect in terms of food since their housing provided meals, and Parsells was worried the cultural difference in diet would take a toll on his athletes' nutrition. The team even packed protein bars and other snacks, but Parsells said he shouldn't have worried. Paraguayan fare was milder than they expected and packed the right amount of nutrients to still be healthy.
Parsells' presence on the field was a foreign concept to the Paraguay teams. The idea of a medical professional devoted simply to athletic injuries does not exist in the country. "It was difficult to find Spanish words for what I was doing, and they had absolutely no idea what I do," Parsells said. "They just called me doctor. The concept doesn't exist in Paraguay. They received more attention from me than I think they've ever gotten from any medical professional."
Parsells also got the chance to meet with the Paraguay ambassador, who immediately understood the profession when Parsells introduced himself. The ambassador even asked Parsells to diagnose him on the spot for pains in his leg. Parsells sat him down, evaluated him and gave him treatment advice. "That was definitely one of the cooler things [about the experience] because I didn't have to explain to him what I did," Parsells said. "[Our name as a profession is] starting to get out there and it's nice to have some recognition."
Parsells meets the Paraguay ambassador
Even though Parsells prefers the comforts of his home and speaking a language he knows, he appreciates the lessons he learned during his trip to Paraguay. "It wasn't about the sport, it was about the opportunity," Parsells said. "You're doing this to help other people and being part of this was really interesting. I'm thankful because I was not happy to go at first. I now have a different perspective."
Editor's Note: Parsells is no longer working at the Stevens Institute of Technology (although he was in that role when we did the reporting for this story). He's currently the head athletic trainer at Oratory Preparatory School in Summit, N.J.

Undergraduate students taking an introductory course in structural
anatomy, including those studying exercise science, kinesiology, sports
medicine, or physical education; secondary school students studying
human anatomy; also a reference for professionals requiring knowledge of
anatomy pertaining to human movement.
Robert S. Behnke, HSD, is retired after 39 years of teaching
anatomy, kinesiology, physical education, and athletic training courses.
Behnke has been honored on several occasions for excellence in
teaching—including receiving the Educator of the Year Award from the
National Athletic Trainers' Association. During his 11-year tenure as
chair of the NATA Professional Education Committee, he initiated the
petition to the American Medical Association that led to the national
accreditation process for entry-level athletic training education
Dr. Behnke spent most of his career at Indiana State University, where
he was a full professor of physical education and athletic training and
director of undergraduate and graduate athletic training programs.
Earlier in his career he spent five years teaching at the secondary
level. He has extensive experience as an athletic trainer, both in high
schools and at the university level, serving as head athletic trainer at
Illinois State University from 1966 to 1969 and the University of
Illinois from 1969 to 1973. He was an athletic trainer at the 1983 World
University Games and for the U.S. men's Olympic basketball trials in
1984. During sabbaticals in 1982 and 1989, he served as an athletic
trainer for boxing, men's field hockey, team handball, ice skating,
roller hockey, gymnastics, judo, and cycling at the United States
Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. He has been in demand as a
speaker and an athletic trainer throughout the United States and
These broad experiences enabled Dr. Behnke to understand the needs of
undergraduate students—and to develop an unparalleled grasp of which
pedagogical approaches work and which do not. Kinetic Anatomy is
the culmination of his unique understanding; it should be a staple in
undergraduate courses for years to come.
"The author displays a great deal of knowledge and an even better
understanding of the subject, and is able to present the information
very specifically in a way that is easy to understand."

This chainsaw offers an optimized power-to-weight ratio, great fuel efficiency and convenience features.
Model Features
Adjustable Automatic Oiler
The Adjustable Automatic Oiler allows the user to adjust the lubricant of the guide bar and saw chain for different bar lengths and cutting conditions.
Anti-Vibration System
STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
Reduced-Emission Engine Technology - Caring for Nature
The STIHL Inc. "Caring for Nature" seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines "low exhaust emissions" as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
STIHL ElastoStart™
The ElastoStart™ starter handle is an exclusive feature of STIHL. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The ElastoStart™ starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking. The forces which occur at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out.
IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor
The IntelliCarb™ Compensating Carburetor is designed to automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio when the air filter becomes restricted or partially clogged and maintains the engine's correct RPM. IntelliCarb™ uses air from the clean side of the air filter to control the diaphragm and flow of fuel. As the air filter becomes dirty and less air is available for the carburetor, the IntelliCarb™ system adjusts the fuel flow to compensate for the decrease in air flow. This is in contrast to typical carburetors that utilize this air from the "dirty" side of the air box.
Side-Access Chain Tensioner
The side-access chain tensioner makes it much more convenient for the user to adjust the saw chain with a bar wrench as opposed to the typical location of the guide bar adjustment screw.
STIHL Quickstop®
STIHL chainsaws are equipped with a chain stopping system designed to reduce the risk of injury in certain kickback situations. It is called a STIHL Quickstop® chain brake. The STIHL Quickstop® chain brake is designed to stop the rotation of the chain if activated by the operator's hand or by inertia if the saw kicks back with sufficient force. In some working positions, the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake can be activated by inertia, stopping the chain within fractions of a second.
See it in action!
Ematic™ Lubrication System
The Ematic™ guide bar, when used with STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chain, will provide proper lubrication and less oil consumption than conventional methods. The system works because two ramps, strategically placed in the guide bar rail, help contain the flow of oil and direct all lubrication to the sliding faces of the bar and chain links as well as the rivets and driver holes, which in turn can reduce bar oil consumption up to 50%.
Master Control Lever™
The Master Control Lever™ is an easy to use single lever, operating the choke, starting throttle lock and on-off switch. The operator must pull the throttle trigger before moving the Master Control Lever™ to the choke position.
Decompression Valve
The decompression valve, also referred to as 'deco' or 'deco valve', vents compression in the cylinder for easier starting. The decompression valve temporarily reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope. It is opened manually and closes automatically as soon as the engine fires.
Built in the USA
Indicates products that are built in the United States from domestic and foreign parts and components.
Standard Features
Common Features for Chainsaws
View the features common to many STIHL chainsaws.
Important Information
STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chainsaws.
STIHL products sold through U.S. STIHL Dealers are for distribution in the United States only.
We Also Suggest

STIHL recommends a mix of 50:1 high-quality 89 octane or higher unleaded gasoline to STIHL engine oil. This same mix ratio should be used during break-in.
Bar and Chain OilSTIHL Bar and Chain oil is formulated to adhere to the bar and chain, and to reduce wear. Special agents in the oil formulation help keep sap and pitch from clinging to the bar and chain.
Available in quart and gallon bottles, 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums, in both summer and winter weights.
Complete Filing KitsKits available for the following chain types: STIHL PICCO™ Mini; 1/4" pitch chain; .325" pitch chain; 3/8" pitch chain; .404" pitch chain.

Additional policies
My love affair with TierraCast began in 1996 when I first discovered their beautiful Celtic beads and charms, and I've been using these beautiful components ever since. I use TierraCast beads, toggles, bead caps or charms in nearly every project I make! These components are manufactured from start to finish in the United States, and the quality and workmanship is phenomenal - better made and better priced than many precious metal alternatives.
TierraCast beads and jewelry components are FDA certified lead-free. TierraCast is made from the Britannia pewter alloy, and it exceeds both the CPSC standard and the new California law regulating children's jewelry content. Britannia pewter is a culinary grade pewter - it is so safe you can eat and drink from cups and plates made of it.
TierraCast beads and jewelry components start with the Britannia pewter base, and are electroplated with various metals to create the finished piece. While ordinary plated jewelry components are notorious for wearing or rubbing off, leaving the base below exposed, electroplated finishes are much thicker and more durable, and will easily withstand reasonable wear and tear.
TierraCast beads and jewelry components with the Antique Silver and Bright Silver finishes are electroplated with pure silver (also called "fine silver" or ".999 silver"). These finishes look exactly like sterling silver. These finishes, like sterling silver components, are susceptible to tarnish. However, they can be cleaned with a soft jewelry polishing cloth, or with a gentle liquid cleaner.
TierraCast beads and jewelry components with the Antique Gold and Bright Gold finishes are electroplated with 22k quality Gold Plate. This finish will not tarnish.
TierraCast beads and jewelry components with the Antique Copper finish are plated with genuine copper.
TierraCast beads and jewelry components with the Antique Rhodium and Bright Rhodium finishes are electroplated with Rhodium. Rhodium is a metal in the platinum family, and is scratch resistant and does not tarnish. These finishes are a slightly darker grey than the Antique and Bright Silver finishes, but they blend well with sterling components.
Antiquing is a chemical process that gives depth and detail by creating dark areas along crevices and recessed areas, and consequently making the polished areas stand out more. Most of our TierraCast beads and jewelry components have antiqued finishes to bring out the detail. Some pieces are not antiqued (notably the Hammertone Collection), and have a brighter appearance. Each piece will specifically state whether or not it is antiqued or bright in the description. All of the TierraCast copper components are antiqued. Antiquing is a common process - it is used in sterling charms, bali spacers, etc, to bring out the detail of the piece.
I carry some basic silver, gold, copper and gunmetal plated findings and beads in my shop. (They'll be *explicitly* listed as such - no surprises!) These are plated (as opposed to electroplated), which means the plating layer is much thinner than the electroplated TierraCast products.
These items WILL TARNISH, and the finish WILL WEAR. They're a lot less expensive than sterling or gold-filled, and they are NOT as good as sterling and gold-filled. Please keep that in mind when you purchase - refunds/exchanges will not be accepted on plated items that have been used and tarnished, because that is *what happens* to plated items.
Cat's eye beads come in many colors and shapes. Some of our beads have special effects - in addition to the plain, polished variety with also carry acid washed "iced" beads, and extra sparkly faceted beads. Colorful, velvety cat's eye beads are the perfect complement to Swarovski crystal.
Fiber optic cat's eye beads are made from a special glass (the same glass fiber optics are made from) - hence the name and the effect! All of our beads are GRADE A cats eye beads, and made in China.
Cat's eye beads are mass manufactured, relatively inexpensive, and are usually sold by the string. Due to the mass production nature of these beads, you should expect to receive a few "duds" when ever you buy a package of these beads. Every string will have the occasional cracked or mis-drilled bead.
CPSIA - My supplies are not intended for use in children's jewelry.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read all this! Happy Beading! -- Erin

Prickly Pear Coolers
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: inspired by a pre-dinner cocktail I had at a Four Coursemen dinner in Athens, GA...this cocktail is so summery, light and nice because it's flavorful while still being relatively low in alcohol. It's a gourmet wine spritzer, sort of! Prickly pear syrup is surprisingly easy to find at most liquor stores or gourmet shops. —runwithtweezers
Serves: 1
ounce blood orange bitters
ounce prickly pear syrup
ounces cold vinho verde
sprigs basil sprigs or flowers, mint sprigs, lemon thyme or lemon verbena, for garnish
- Fill an oversized highball glass or stemless wine glass with 8 to 10 ice cubes.
- Pour in blood orange bitters then prickly pear syrup. Top with Vinho Verde.
- If you want to leave the drink slightly "layered", do not mix. Otherwise, gently stir together.
- Garnish & serve immediately…although I will say this drink is delicious when it gets super chilly and sits for a minute – no need to chug it!

Enrollment hits 913 high
Attendance highest in past 10 years
Initial enrollment numbers at Gothenburg Public Schools look promising.
More students translates into more state aid, even one more student as was the case last Thursday when school started with 913 students —the most in the last 10 years.The tally also represents a 13-student jump compared to first-day numbers last year at 900 pupils.
Still, superintendent Dr. Mike Teahon is cautious about first-day enrollment.
"This number changes dramatically as rosters are finalized," Teahon said. "And we have a few students who are still registered but did not show up."
Teahon said school officials will follow up to determine if no-show students have left the district or were just absent.
Enrollment figures on Friday, Sept. 28, will be the most important.
That's when the number of students registered for classes is sent into the Nebraska Department of Education from which state aid allocations are determined.
For the past six years, the district has experienced mostly an upward enrollment trend that has hovered at 900 students or above.
In fact, enrollment has increased seven of the past 10 years with the exception of 2011, 2003 and 2002.
The biggest class this year, K-12, is the seventh grade with 78 students followed by eighth graders who number 76.
Seniors comprise the smallest class with 59 students.
Dudley Elementary experienced a two-student rise in enrollment from 2011 while the high school lost 19 students from last year.

Ecommerce information architecture: the devil in the detail (part three)
This blog is the third and final part of my ecommerce information architecture mini-series and takes a look at some of the key components and guidelines for what ecommerce teams need to think about.
Today I'm going to send you to sleep talking about SEO and integration of non-product content.
I'd welcome comments to add to my views and share advice/experience of what works, what mistakes to avoid and useful resources. Hope you find it useful reading.
Ecommerce information architecture: the devil in the detail (part two)
This blog is part two of my ecommerce IA mini-series and takes a look at some of the key components and guidelines for what ecommerce teams need to think about.
Today I'm going to send you to sleep talking about URL structure & data formats (yawn…).
For those of you who missed it, part one is on site & catalogue structure.
I'd welcome comments to add to my views and share advice/experience of what works, what mistakes to avoid and useful resources to use. Hope you find it useful reading.
Ecommerce information architecture: the devil in the detail
I've worked with many clients (and on my own sites) where avoidable structural/data problems add unnecessary complexity to website management.
I say avoidable because they're usually a result of not asking the right questions upfront before the site is built. It's a tough task to cover all bases for an ecommerce platform because there are so many factors in play that can affect elements like on-site UX, business reporting, data flows and SEO.
In my experience, it's a continuous learning curve, picking up insight from specialists along the way to build a (hopefully) thorough knowledge base of what information you need to effectively build a website, what format the data needs to be in and what it needs to do e.g. data field X in the CMS drives site search results.
A guide to structuring your email marketing program
I've spent a lot of time since 2009 advising clients on email strategy and implementation, but less on actual implementation.
I was starting to miss the fun of creating campaigns, hitting the send button and watching the results. That changed when I decided to launch a new UK crowdfunding startup, with some close friends.
As Head of Digital, I've had to get back into the detail of email marketing and think beyond the strategy. This blog shares my experience on what makes for good email marketing in terms of process and strategy components.
I hope you find it useful reading.
Five ways crowdfunding will help retail ecommerce in 2014
The UK's innovation agency, NESTA, predicts the UK crowdfunding industry to raise £14bn in 2016. That's a big number considering the global market was expected to reach $6bn in 2013, up from $2.7bn in 2012.
The growth is being driven by an increase in platforms, rapid adoption of crowdfunding as a finance source by businesses and growing consumer awareness.
Page load speed: 14 valuable tips for ecommerce managers
It's widely accepted that minimising page load speed is good practice for ecommerce, to ensure visitors get a fast service and search engines don't mark the webpages down for usability.
But what does this mean? What are the techniques you need to use to achieve this? And if you're not technical, how can you make sense of the jargon to make sensible decisions?
In this blog, I look at the most common causes of slow page loads speeds, which will hopefully give ecommerce managers a useful starting place.
When I started out in ecommerce, I didn't get this at all but i've spent time learning over the years to ensure that I know what questions to ask and what to look for.
You don't have to grasp the detail of the technical implications to understand the essentials and that for me is something all ecommerce managers must master.
How do you build a great ecommerce team?
Launching an ecommerce channel is a no-brainer for many companies as it's undoubtedly one of the most effective ways of building your business for the future.
But while the decision to launch an online store is a relatively easy one, knowing how and when to develop to ecommerce team is far more difficult.
To make the process easier we've just published our new report, Building an Ecommerce Team: A Best Practice Guide, which focuses on the challenges facing ecommerce managers as the digital channel grows and diversifies.
The guide is aimed at client-side ecommerce practitioners and includes recommendations from seasoned professionals on how to build and manage your team; how to create a framework for understanding the key challenges; and details on how changing market conditions are impacting the demands on ecommerce teams.
Understanding the business questions that attribution analysis can help answer
From the list of 2012 shameless buzzwords, attribution analysis is the one that really interests me and is a hot topic amongst most senior ecommerce professionals I know.
Because there isn't a right answer for how use attribution analysis. During the attribution modelling sessions I moderated on for Econsultancy's Digital Cream event, a constant theme was uncertainty about how to start using attribution and how to apply it to the business.
For many there was scepticism about the reliability and validity of the data.
I'm hoping this blog kick starts a discussion......
Six key issues from the attribution analysis & modelling table at Digital Cream 2013
I had the pleasure (or dubious honour?) of moderating on Econsultancy's attribution analysis and modelling table at this year's Digital Cream event at the Emirates stadium in London.
It was an intriguing insight in to what ecommerce teams are doing and what is holding them back. The common theme was a slight unease about how best to use attribution modelling to help the business grow.
There was variety in the type of company represented, from membership organisations to high street retailers, as well as the job roles of the people attending, from ecommerce managers to business analysts.
Here's a summary of the six key issues that were discussed and the challenges that businesses are facing.
James Gurd on enhanced campaigns and PPC best practice
As one of the core toolkits of digital marketers, paid search has been rapidly changing. From constant tweaks and updates to the search engine results page, through to consumers changing their habits by using mobile devices, professionals working in this field are constantly trying to stay ahead of the game in order to generate the greatest return on investment.
The recent changes that Google brought out with AdWords through 'Enhanced Campaigns' highlighted the need for new, up-to-date material for this critical area of digital marketing. To that end, we have recently updated our PaidSearch (PPC) Best Practice Guide.
Ecommerce and digital marketing consultant James Gurd is the lead author of our updated guide. James worked with leading practitioners from the field of paid search to make sure that the guide (which stands at over 300 pages in length and close to 120,000 words long) was as relevant as possible for all people interested in learning about and improving their paid search skills.
We spoke to James to find out more about the report and discuss how this will be useful for digital marketers today.
10 lessons learned from launching a Twitter Chat
Back in September 2012, myself and fellow Ecommerce Consultant Dan Barker decided that there was a gap in the market for an ecommerce centric industry chat.
Why? You may ask.
Well, we both regularly get asked ecommerce questions via social media channels (Twitter, Google+ & LinkedIn being the most common) and we also tap into the fountain of knowledge that is our followers.
There is a constant flow of, and demand for, knowledge sharing. This blog takes a look at what we have learned launching a Twitter chat and the mistakes we've made along the way.
How to rock Econsultancy's Digital Marketing Template Files
Econsultancy's Digital Marketing Template Files are designed to provide practical tools for managing digital marketing, either by giving you reference material to sense check against or files that you can simply plug your own data/information in to.
In short, they help you look smart and save time, and since they were launched, over 38,000 people have downloaded them from the site.
I recently updated the template files for Econsultancy, introducing some new ones to the collection, including a whole new section on content marketing.
As these are some of the most downloaded content assets on Econsultancy, I thought it would be useful to give some insight into how these files can be used to benefit your business (and no this isn't an egomania drive for self-publicity!).

Friday night/overnight threat for severe weather for NW FL. Main threat would be damaging straight line winds, but hail and a tornado cannot be ruled out.
After a gorgeous stretch of weather, we are introducing the next chance for strong to severe storms as we head into the weekend.
Our next weather maker , a cold front, will bring the chance for showers and embedded thunderstorms, which could become strong or even severe.Our next weather maker
A line of showers and storms is expected to move into Southwest Alabama and Northwest Florida (from the northwest to the southeast) late Friday night/into the overnight hours, lasting through at least Saturday morning.
The exact timing has been iffy over the last 24 hours or so, but overall, it appears to be late Friday night through Saturday morning for the severe weather threat. Additional showers, perhaps a few thunderstorms, will be possible during the afternoon and evening on Saturday.
The Storm Prediction Center (SPC ) has placed Southwest Alabama and Southeast Mississippi under a Slight Risk (2/5) for severe weather overnight Friday through daybreak on Saturday.
Meanwhile, most of Northwest Florida is under a Marginal Risk (1/5) for late Friday night through Saturday morning.
Keep in mind, storms do not pay attention to risk zones, so do not focus solely on the colors. Just know that there is a risk for severe weather. Ingredients for severe storms are expected to be present in all risk zones -- the greatest threat in parts of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi.
The SPC continued the Marginal Risk for Southwest Alabama through Saturday morning, as well.
Damaging straight line winds would be the primary threat; however, some hail and a tornado or two will also be possible.
Be sure to brush up on your severe weather safety plan for you, your family, and your pets.
Also, make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings, should any be issued.
A NOAA weather radio, cell phone, local radio, and television are all good ways to receive warnings.
Since this will likely be an overnight and early morning threat, be sure to pay especially close attention to the weather with the First Warning Channel 3 Weather Team on-air and online before heading to bed Friday night. Stay tuned for any changes to the forecast.

Superintendent looking for $5.9M more from city for 2013 budget
The School Committee got a peek at Superintendent Peter Horoschak's recommended $162.2 million fiscal year 2013 school department budget during an overview presentation by Business Affairs Director Anthony Ferrucci Tuesday.
Ferrucci said the budget takes into account Governor Lincoln Chafee's recommended budget, which includes $1.5 million in restored funding of the Federal Jobs Grant, which supplanted state aid in FY 2012. Ferrucci said the district is also scheduled to receive $500,000 in additional state aid as part of a full funding formula implementation, which takes into account an accelerated payment of $253,273 intended to go to the district in 2014 to be applied to the FY 2013 budget.
Ferrucci said thanks to a significant budget surplus realized three years ago, the district has had the luxury of relying on approximately $2 million annually to help plug the gap but that will no longer be the case, as only a slight surplus is projected to carry forward, thereby considerably reducing available revenue.
"Given the number of initiatives that will be identified throughout the budget process, and the noted loss of prior year surpluses, we are in need of an increase from the community of $5,961,498," Ferrucci said. "This amount represents an approximate 5 percent increase over the FY 2012 allocation."
Although the school department presented a budget to the city requesting $124.6 million in city allocation for FY 2012, it was only approved for $118.6 million. The department is again requesting a $124.6 million city allocation for FY 2013.
Ferrucci said the district was able to realize approximately $1.3 million in savings in the transportation budget by outsourcing busing responsibilities to First Student, although the district will continue to supply bus monitors at a cost of $80,000.
With regard to expenses, the proposed budget calls for $1 million in new textbooks, more than $860,000 in building initiatives, and $841,850 in new technology initiatives.
However, the largest ticket item is approximately $3.5 million in needed fire code upgrades and improvements over the next three years, which the district plans to address by requesting that the city return all unspent RIHBEC bond funds, approved by voters in 2006 and earmarked for fire code work, in order to reduce the amount owed as well as to remove principal and interest payments, thereby increasing the department's local budget by $2.7 million. This move would also add $3.3 million to the FY 2013 local operating budget to be applied in the summers of July 2013 (FY 14) and July 2014 (FY 15). Ferrucci said the fire code issue accounts for 67 percent of the total increase in expenses for FY 2013.
Among initiatives not included in the proposed budget are eight additional reading teachers, K-6 Health program textbooks, district-wide electrical upgrades needed to support current day demands and new roofs at Vets High School and the maintenance building.
When crafting the budget, Ferrucci said student need was the primary focus.
"We must provide a safe, healthy and productive learning environment for students," he said.
Horoschack added, "This is not an over-the-top request that allows us to meet all of the school department's needs."
Ferrucci said no pay increases have been factored into the budget, apart from those contained in collective bargaining agreements.
Following the end of the presentation, School Committee member Patrick Maloney said there are several areas he plans to look at to reduce costs during upcoming budget meetings. Department directors were scheduled to begin presenting their budgets last night and will continue presentations on April 16 and April 24 at the school administration building, 34 Warwick Lake Ave., Warwick.
Get it from the T F Green Airport expansion project, the so called "economic engine".
It's high-time the City of Warwick leave the taxpayers alone. What do you think, we're made out of money?
Here are my typical monthly expenses: groceries, mortage, electrc, phone, water (quarterly), property and "AUTO" property tax (quarterly), home owner's insurance, automoblie insurance, health insurance just to mention a few.
I need $$$$ to live also. Again, get it from the "economic engine".
A "P@#%^& Off" Warwick resident and taxpayer.
B.T.W... I recently learned the T F Green Airport runway expansion project will be taking my home and propery under eminent domain so they re-align Main Avenue to the south which will run directly through my property. Truly a blessing in disguise...
Now I can bail from this hell hole of a state...
Nitcharoo,,,,,, good for you.
Just to let you know, The School Dept will not get an increase. But the Taxpayers of Warwick will. 8 Million is the max. and it will go right to the City side of the budget, as it has the last three years.last year along 2 million went to overtime for the firefighters over the budget of $ 800,000(min Maning in there contract) So when the Mayor blames the School Dept. to take your eye off the ball, for the increase in taxes. It is untrue! I do not think the School Dept or The City needs any more money. We need a Tax decrease!
The $3.5million inclusion of fire system upgrades should be DOA from the school budget increase; they all ready have borrowed other repair/improvement funds & should use that. As for the rest of the budget increase-delay the technology upgrades for a year. As far Superindent Horoschak's comments, the budget request is not "Over the Top", it's "Way over the top".

11 a.m. update: This just in from the National Hurricane Center forecast discussion: "While Jose is currently forecast to remain offshore of the U.S. coast from Virginia northward to New England, the large cyclone could cause some direct impacts to these areas and any deviation to the left of the NHC forecast track would increase the likelihood and magnitude of those impacts. Interests along the U.S. east coast from Virginia to New England should monitor the progress of Jose through the next several days."
OK, first things first: This weekend's weather is going to be great. Today and tomorrow will start out foggy each morning but the sun will eventually burn through to give us two warm, almost summer-like days with highs around 80. Lows tonight and Sunday night will drop down to the 60s ad it will feel a little muggy.
But, we should be keeping an eye on Hurricane Jose which could bring the region tropical storm conditions Tuesday night and Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
At 5 a.m. Saturday, the storm had maximum sustained winds of 80 mph, was located about 500 miles south-southeast of the Carolinas, and was headed northwest. The storm this weekend should take a turn toward the north and then next week begin an eventual turn to the northeast. When exactly that bend occurs will determine how much of an effect Jose has on New England. It seems that at a minimum we would see some wind, rain showers, beach erosion and dangerous rip tides.
Even though the storm may weaken to a strong tropical storm and lose its hurricane status Jose is forecast to grow in size. This means a close pass out to sea will still bring us a stormy Tuesday night and Wednesday. And if it does actually make landfall in New England, the intensity of those conditions would no doubt worsen. So, keep an eye on Jose.
