Describes with words and helpful photos, how to protect your Ice Screw and other equipment.
Laser Speed 13cm
The LASER SPEED ice screw starts easily due to the optimized drill shape. Strength and durability are improved due to the steel tube and specific threading. The integrated flexible crank gives an optimized lever, making it easier and faster to screw in.

|Weight (grams / ounces)
Weight (g / oz)
In grams and ounces, the weight, as stated by the manufacturer / brand.
|128.00 g / 4.51 oz
|Length (cm)
Length (cm)
Ice screws range between 6 - 30 cm. Generally speaking the sizes can be thought of as:
Short - 13 cm and below
Short screws ("shorties" or "stubbies") are for thin ice found on harder ice climbs and/or in crappy conditions.
Medium - 14 - 17 cm
With ideal conditions climbers will be able to plug medium-sized screws with no problem. They have a nice weight to length balance.
Long - 18 cm and above
Long screws are most often used as anchors or in crappy ice conditions where they can go deep to find the real ice below. Mountaineers may also prefer long screws as they can gain better purchase in less than ideal ice and have less chance of melting out.
How Many To Carry
There is no standard of how many screws to carry of each size. It will vary depending on where you're climbing, your style of climbing and what level you're climbing at. Some climbers will get a variety of the sizes, while others might get a majority of medium screws, a few shorties for thin spots and some long screws for anchors and bomber placements.
Note: The amount of threading on each screw does not change even when the overall length changes (exception: e-climbs screws).
|13 cm
No Handle / Knob
About 30% of the options
Pros: Cheaper
Cons: No "speed" handle/knob for faster threading
Note: This is not currently a feature to filter on (coming soon), but is important to see the difference.
Handle (non-fold)
About 24% of the options
Pros: There is an extra "handle" or "knob" for faster screw threading. Cheaper than folding versions.
Cons: Some of the knobs stick out substantially and could cause the rope or draws to get caught on the lengthened handle.
Handle (folding)
Around 42% of the options
Pros: Foldable handle allows for quick threading and reduces snagging potential by folding out of the way.
Cons: More expensive.
Color Coding
Nearly 70% of the screws are color-coded, and this represents nearly all of the screws that have handles/knobs (color coding can also be on the hanger or the tube itself).
Pros: Like on cams, color-coding makes for faster size identification.
Cons: Generally color coding only comes on more expensive screws (with handles)
There are 7 brands that follow red, yellow, blue, gray, green as a small to large standard, but that is not consistent across the industry.
Sewn Sling (Pre-Attached to the Hanger)
Pro: You don't have to carry quickdraws, so it saves weight and speed of clipping.
Con: The length of this sling may not be ideal and it is not adjustable
2 Clip Points on the Hanger
Pro: More clipping options, especially ones that are closer to the ice to reduce leverage in a fall situation.
Con: This comes standard on only a few screws so your options are limited. On some configurations this will also make the hanger much larger.
Reverse Threading
This is the most controversial feature. Grivel and CAMP (which make up 30% of the ice screw market) use reverse threading on all of their screws and claim that this angle is more effective at spreading an impact load across ice.
If you are interested in the merits of the "reverse thread" design, click to see photos of the concrete tests (reverse threading pulls out more concrete than standard threading) and read about the concerns of testing in concrete. Read discussion of the engineering that goes into thread design and the questioning of straight pulls while testing to judge if reverse threading would make a [significant] difference in the event of a fall on ice.
Folding Handle
Color Coding
The material of the ice screw hanger (what you'd be clipping a carabiner into). Expect Stainless steel or aluminum here.
The material of the tube of the ice screw (aka shaft). Most often it'll be Chromoly or steel but Grivel, Petzl and e-climb (and perhaps others) offer an aluminum tube ice screw option.
Nearly 90% of ice screws are made from steel because steel is stronger and more durable.
Aluminum screws will dull and wear out much faster and are not designed for crag-style ice climbing. They are specialty ice screws best used for fast and light ascents.
The material of the teeth. Most often the tube material and the teeth material will be the same (e-climb and Petzl are exceptions).
Often, screws with aluminum tubes will have steel teeth to help with durability.
| Hanger: Aluminum
Tube: Steel
Teeth: Steel
|Strength (kn)
Strength (kN)
In kilonewtons, the strength as stated by the manufacturer / brand.
The main climbing gear certifications are CE and UIAA--and normally the UIAA creates the rules that the CE body also supports. When possible, we try to list all the certifications the product carries.
To sell a climbing product in Europe, the device must be CE certified. There are no official requirements to sell climbing gear in the US. The UIAA certification is a voluntary process.
Ice screws are not certifiable below 10cm.

These are the best ice screws i've tried, and i've used all the ones readily available in North America. They bite fast and crank in very well. I'd prefer a longer hanger and two biner holes but i can live without both. Besides the aluminum ones seem to weigh nothing at all and the weight savings is hard to live without.
We try to simulate all activities with our testing, but stopped short of taking falls on the Petzl Laser Speed Ice Screws. However, given the design and ease of driving these screws we them a big thumbs up. In addition to the Laser Speed Ice Screw, Petzl has also just released the Petzl Speed Ice Screw. All the same features except the color coded fold out handle. Check them both out.
"Hands down, the easiest screw I have ever used for starting in hard ice," said one ecstatic tester after deploying Petzl's new screws on water ice all over Colorado. Petzl optimized the aggressive steel teeth on the Laser series by lengthening them, and it shows with the increased ease of placement. "I rarely failed to start the screw with just one jab, which is a real blessing when you're pumped," another tester said. Laser Speed screws (four sizes, 10 to 21cm) have a fold-up crank that nestles nicely against the hanger when racked on your harness, and the Laser screws (three sizes, 13 to 21cm) are crankless to save weight. Color-coded handles on the Laser Speeds delineate length so you can grab the right one at a glance. Testers loved these screws, so look out for summer 2014's newest iteration, an even lighter version: the Laser Speed Lite, with an aluminum shaft and hanger and inset steel tip with the same quick-biting teeth. Our testers are already fighting over samples.

The Colorado Department of Agriculture is encouraging livestock and pet owners to discuss animal health concerns, including the need for rabies vaccination, with their local veterinarian after a horse in Logan County was euthanized and subsequently tested positive for rabies.
"The department would like to stress two very important points," said State Veterinarian, Dr. Keith Roehr. "One, owners should monitor their animals for clinical signs of rabies; and two, local veterinarians are a valuable resource to help producers decide the best course of action to protect their livestock and pets from rabies."
Help NFN Grow
Livestock and pet owners are encouraged to discuss vaccination with their veterinarian for animals that could be exposed to wildlife that carry and could transmit the rabies virus to dogs, cats, horses, small ruminants, llamas, alpacas, and petting zoo animals.
Rabies is a viral disease infecting the brain and central nervous system. The clinical appearance of rabies typically falls into two types: "aggressive" and "dumb." Aggressive rabies symptoms include combativeness and violent behavior and sensitivity to touch and other kinds of stimulation. There is also a "dumb" form of the disease in which the animal is lethargic, weak in one or more limbs, and unable to raise its head or make sounds because its throat and neck muscles are paralyzed.
Rabies can be passed from animals to humans. Rabies is spread primarily through the bite of rabid animals, resulting in the spread of the disease through their infected saliva. Rabies also can be spread when saliva from an infected animal gets into open wounds, cuts or enters through membranes of the eyes, nose or mouth. No cure exists for rabies once symptoms appear although there is a vaccine to prevent the infection.
"Animal owners need to primarily look for any dramatic behavioral changes. That is typically one of the hallmark signs that the animal may be suffering from rabies," said Roehr.
Examples of unusual behavior include: wild mammals that show no fear of people and pets; nocturnal animals that are active in daylight; and bats found on the ground, in swimming pools or that have been caught by a pet. Rabid carnivores, such as skunks, foxes, bobcats, coyotes, dogs and cats, may become aggressive and may attempt to bite people, pets and livestock.

They do a nice job catering to casual fans, but their coverage overall is pretty awful. It's bland, watered down and incredibly biased.
I'll watch my teams play on their network when I don't have any other choice, but I try to avoid all of their original programming and stick with NBA TV, NFLN, MLBN, etc. if I want to see highlights that last more than 3 seconds.

'Stone Soup' – fall harvest for preschoolers
- Written by Woodinville Weekly Staff
The ancient story of Stone Soup is told in many communities throughout the world.
Every culture has their own version, but they all have the same premise: to bring community together to share resources and create a meal. The "Stone Soup – Fall Harvest for Preschoolers" class at 21 Acres follows that premise.
Preschoolers ages 2-4 years old, along with a parent or care-giver, will enjoy a trip to the 21 Acres Farm and Market to harvest or shop for soup ingredients, then help participate in the soup preparation.
Everyone will share this scrumptious soup and enjoy hearing the story of "Stone Soup."
The class is offered on two days, Saturday, October 19, and Tuesday, October 22, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Instructors are Maria Galvao (Maria's Desserts) and Donna Hawkey, who met and found that both have mutual food values and philosophies.
They are beginning an adventure to spread the word to children that food is nourishing and fun, and to teach them that choosing what you eat is an important life skill that needs to be developed with a positive impact in our community and environment.
Fee for the class is $20 for parent/child; $15 for 21 Acres members and $10 for each additional child. Please note this class will not be able to accommodate food allergies or special dietary needs.
Weather appropriate clothing/shoes for a trip on the farm is suggested along with an apron or smock if desired.
As a special offer, all 21 Acres students receive a discount in the 21 Acres Farm Market the week after class.

ISLAMABAD | CAIRO | GENEVA — In a massive health relief effort underway in the flood-affected parts of Pakistan, nearly six million people have been treated for health conditions since the floods began in late July; but there are urgent needs to prevent further health crises or food insecurity caused by large-scale damage to crops and agricultural land.
"Increasing cases of communicable diseases, like diarrhoea and malaria, fears about children being malnourished, the massive disruption to healthcare, crop systems and rising food insecurity are the main health threats facing Pakistan's flood-affected people," says Dr Guido Sabatinelli, WHO's Representative to Pakistan.
Health response to the crisis
Some 20 million people have been affected by the floods, including eight million needing direct life-saving assistance. The health response to date has been delivered by multiple healthcare providers including the Pakistani Ministry of Health, United Nations agencies, and international and national humanitarian organizations. The response to date includes:
- delivering 1 083 metric tons of medicines to health partners, enough to treat more than 4.5 million people;
- opening more than 40 centres to treat people suffering from diarrhoeal disease;
- providing emergency reproductive health services to almost 60 000 patients, including more than 1200 women who have delivered babies;
- immunizing more than 445 000 children against polio and 428 000 children against measles.
Pakistan's health challenges and the humanitarian response plan have been mapped out in the Pakistan floods emergency response plan launched on 17 September 2010. The plan seeks US$ 200 million to fund 94 health sector projects run by WHO and Health Cluster partners.
Reducing avoidable deaths and illness
"The objective of WHO and our health partners in Pakistan is to reduce avoidable death and illness through a range of life-saving interventions for all people – men, women and children," says Dr Eric Laroche, WHO's Assistant Director-General for Health Action in Crises, who is today on a mission in northern Pakistan with senior representatives from UNICEF and the World Food Programme. "While concentrating on the ongoing crisis, we are also in parallel working to rebuild a devastated health system and respond to the major life-threatening health risks, such as acute diarrhoea, acute respiratory infections, malaria, measles, and maternal and neo-natal illness and death."
To increase the response to needs in the region, humanitarian partners working in the health, water and sanitation and food sectors have devised a joint "Inter-Cluster Survival Strategy" due to the inter-related factors that affect the health of millions. Poor sanitation and hygiene increases the risks of water-borne diseases, while inadequate supplies of food increases the risk of malnutrition.
"Before the floods, about 80% of all health expenditure was from out-of-pocket payment and two-thirds of consultations occurred in private health facilities mainly in urban areas," says Dr Naeema Al-Gasseer, WHO's Assistant Regional Director of its Eastern Mediterranean office." This points to a major gap at the best of times for poor people in rural areas of the country, which has only worsened due to this disaster. Millions of people are now either exposed to or already facing serious negative health consequences and insufficient access to health services."
Key activities
Key activities to be funded by the US$ 200 million health plan will include opening more health outposts and service delivery points, restoring access to basic health care, treating injuries and chronic conditions, controlling disease outbreaks, supporting referral to secondary health services of patients suffering life-threatening conditions and needing emergency obstetric and newborn care, and supplying medicines.

Come Super Bowl Sunday, this year's crop of movie commercials won't be the only ads with connections to the world of movies. At least five spots from car companies — traditionally big players in Super Bowl advertising — will feature Hollywood stars, directors and imagery. Here's a rundown.
Jaguar enlists a trio of British villains. Poking fun at Hollywood's proclivity for casting British actors in villainous roles, Jaguar's 60-second spot "Rendezvous" features Ben Kingsley (a bad guy in "Iron Man 3" and "Sexy Beast"), Tom Hiddleston (Loki in the "Thor" and "Avengers" movies) and Mark Strong (of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Kick-Ass") at their smooth and sinister best.
"Maybe we just sound right," Strong purrs before stepping into a sleek white F-Type coupe. Hiddleston flies by in a helicopter, without spilling a drop of his brimming cuppa, while a tuxedo-clad Kingsley holds down a high-tech fort.
The ad, which will be Jaguar's first to air during the Super Bowl, was directed by a Brit as well: Tom Hooper, of "The King's Speech" and "Les Misérables" fame. Watch the spot here.
Kia enters "The Matrix." Kia has chosen a movie hero for its ad "The Truth," and reached back 15 years to do so. In the ad, Laurence Fishburne reprises his role as Morpheus from "The Matrix" and offers a confused couple at a valet parking station the choice between a red car key and a blue one, recalling the movie's "red pill, blue pill" scene. The red key leads them to a Kia K900 — and a slightly incongruous Morpheus rendition of the Puccini aria "Nessun dorma."
Given how the teenagers and college kids who loved "The Matrix" circa the late '90s could well now be in the market for a more upscale sedan like the K900, it's not a bad reference. But the commercial is directed by Carl Rinsch, who recently helmed "47 Ronin," and Colin Jeffery. Hopefully the ad fares better than "Ronin." Watch the spot here.
CarMax does the slow clap from "Rudy." Used-car retailer CarMax references another '90s film, the underdog football tale "Rudy," in "Slow Clap." In the commercial, a satisfied customer thanks his car salesman, who then begins slowly, steadily, contagiously applauding, mirroring the climactic scene of "Rudy." In case the Rudy theme wasn't clear, that film's star, Sean Astin, even makes a cameo in the commercial sporting a letterman jacket. You can watch the spot here. (Incidentally, in an effort to appeal to fans of the Puppy Bowl, CarMax has also released a canine-filled "Slow Bark" variation.)
Toyota holds a Muppets singalong. Toyota and Disney are teaming up to hawk the Toyota Highlander and beat the drum for the upcoming "Muppets Most Wanted" movie, out March 21. The ad features actor and former NFL player Terry Crews, who happens upon a stalled tour bus and soon finds his car overrun by musical Muppets. The gang proceeds to break into song, crash a seniors bingo game, crush some grapes and dance in the streets. Watch the spot here.
Ford pads James Franco's résumé further. Ford has tapped actor James Franco to appear in a Super Bowl that will run after the coin toss but before kickoff, according to Ad Age. Franco, who can now add "star of a Super Bowl commercial" to his ever-expanding CV, posted a photo of himself on Instagram recently; it shows him on set of the spot, suspended from cables while wearing a tuxedo and holding a white rose. For now that's all there is to go on for the spot, which has yet to appear online and remains mysterious. So Franco.
[Update, 2:19 p.m.: Ford has released a teaser for the Franco spot. Flanked by a tiger, Franco promises, "This is no ordinary commercial."]

lib::with::preamble - invent your own default perl setup
use lib::with::preamble 'use v5.16; use strictures 1;', 'lib';
The above will load .pm files from lib/ - but they'll act as if your code always started with 'use v5.16; use strictures 1;'.
To use this in a dist, you'll want to create two files -
# my/lib.pm
use lib::with::preamble 'use v5.16; use strictures 1;', 'lib';
# my/filter
print "use v5.16;\nuse strictures 1;\n#line 1\n";
while (<STDIN>) { print }
and then tell your Makefile.PL to use the filter -
PM_FILTER => 'perl my/filter'
Then during development instead of doing
$ perl -Ilib bin/script-to-test
you'll want to do -
$ perl -Mmy::lib bin/script-to-test
and for prove -
$ PERL5OPT=-Mmy::lib prove t/some-test.t
but once you run
$ make
your blib/ will get populated with files that already have your preamble added, so
$ prove -b t/some-test.t
will just work, as will
$ make test
and when your users install your module, the .pm files will already have the preamble at the top, so your installed files will look like
# My/Foo.pm
use v5.16;
use strictures 1;
# line 1
package My::Foo;
and everything should work, without you even needing to add this module as a dependency.
Patches to document an equivalent for those of you using Dist::Zilla (and Module::Build, even if I don't like the bedamned thing) would be very welcome.
This is as much a proof of concept as anything else at this point, so the interface is NOT guaranteed to be stable. Especially since this is meant to be a sort of implicit sugar, and history has proven that other people are much better at designing APIs to sugar than I am.
But provided you're using it the way I describe above, the my/filter script isn't dependent on anything, so your users will be insulated from that.
So please do have a play around and see if it works for you.

A Step by Step Guide of Getting a Navel Piercing
TITLE>A Step by Step Guide of Getting a Navel Piercing
A Step by Step Guide of Getting a Navel Piercing (Holly's First Piercing Experience)
Here I am, with my shirt rolled up in the front, letting
the Piercer clean and apply local anesthetic to my belly button. Note the latex gloves -- I wouldn't go anywhere that did not enforce sanitary conditions and did not comply with the city/province/state/country's health laws/regulations. Always, ALWAYS research your piercing/tattoo parlour -- go in and talk with the artists there. Ask questions, even stupid ones. A good piercer/tattooist will answer EVERY question, and should supply pamphlets on care for tattoos/piercings. And NEVER go to a hairdresser to have piercings done with a GUN! See this article on BME (Body Modification Ezine) for more info...
Here he is using a felt-tipped marker to draw two "in" and "out" dots for the needle.
Okaaay, now I'm laying down on a gurney/old dentist chair -- it was tilted far, far back so the blood rushed to my head (prevents fainting I guess) and I couldn't see what was going on. (If I sat up, my tummy would curl thus making piercing impossible.) He's using small forceps to pinch the skin together for 'ease of piercing.' The ends of the forceps have small 'loops' where he lined up the "in" and "out" dots. As for pain, the forceps were uncomfortable. Slight pinching and tugging of skin around my tummy.
If you don't understand gauge sizes, I recommend that you check out Stainless Studios' info on piercing "hardware."
THE NEEDLE IS GETTING SHOVED THROUGH!!! (action shot) And honestly, the only discomfort was Ryan putting his weight on his hand, pushing down on my abdomen. I only felt the needle prick for a split second, but did not feel the needle moving through my skin. Since I chose a 14 gauge CBR (captive bead ring) -- the needle was "fresh", opened from a sterilized package (never used before) and was a 14 gauge needle!
After Ryan pushes the needle halfway through my flesh, he puts a cork on one end. (This protects him and me.) I think he removes the forceps next, THEN places the ring (which is also sterilized and new and packaged) on the other end.
The CBR (ring) is now getting pushed through the new hole. The next sensation I felt was some tugging as he closed the ring. The ring I chose was niobium and the colour was "oilslick" -- meaning it was a spectrum of colour from blue to red to gold. If you want to learn more about different metals and ring shapes, click here.
When it comes to cleaning; Less is more, but doing nothing is bad. All done! This pic was taken seconds after the piercing -- I did not faint, scream or feel nauseous. I even went out for dinner and clubbing afterwards. It's been almost 2 weeks now, and the piercing is healing fine. On about the 3rd day, the hole started to "ooze" white stuff, not pus or that would be an infection, and form a crust around the holes. The ring has to be turned 6-7 times a day with CLEAN, freshly washed hands. By over-touching the piercing, I can get infection or cause the healing process to take longer. But I still have to wash it once/twice a day with Antibacterial soap, apply antibiotic ointment (I recommend "Mecca" -- all natural, no moisturizers) and use warm water on q-tips to soak OFF the 'crusty' stuff -- absolutely NO PICKING.
Here is the finished product -- a gorgeous, sexy navel ring to show off.

Wintergreen Resort - Not your typical vacation retreat
When looking for that special vacation spot, most families seek out warm, sunny climates, usually around the beach. I'm not saying that this is a bad idea, but aren't you getting tired of the
... as Motley Crue would say, same ole, same ole?
If you said yes, then I have the hideaway for you and it's a year-round spot,
Wintergreen Resort, tucked away in the mountains of western Virginia.
Located within a two- to three-hour drive from Richmond, Virginia, or
Washington, D.C., Wintergreen is the resort for all seasons. Whether it be
skiing in the fall and winter or tennis and golf in the spring and summer,
Wintergreen accommodates them all.
With less than a handful of resorts in the state for skiing, Wintergreen is
ripe for the taking and the numbers don't lie.
The resort features 11,000 acres with a peak elevation of 3,515 feet. There are
26 slopes and trails, 14 of which are lighted for night skiing. Are you kidding
me? But the best part of this winter wonderland, might be The Plunge,
Virginia's largest tubing park. If balance on skis is an issue, then the tubing
park is for you. Sitting in an inner-tube, you slide down a 100-foot vertical
drop at 25-40 mph in 30 seconds. Talk about a rush!
Following a day on the powder, Wintergreen has the perfect respite, The Spa at
Wintergreen. From couples massages to facials, pedicures or my personal
favorite, the deep tissue hot stone massage. Close your eyes and picture a full
day on the slopes and then a trip to the spa for a two-hour custom pampering
package. Again, are you kidding me!
Let's not overlook the spring and summer months, as Wintergreen has been a
top-25 world-ranked tennis resort for the past seven years, in fact, Tennis
Magazine rated Wintergreen as the No. 1 resort for families. You'll have a
hard time focusing on your game with the incredible mountain views on the 19
clay courts. Even if the weather is suspect, Wintergreen offers three indoor
Deco-Turf courts, similar to the ones used at the U.S. Open.
Alas, golf is my game and Wintergreen gets it, with 45 holes of outstanding
Devils Knob receives most of the accolades, with its stunning vistas and a
slope rating of 138. The course itself at 3,850 feet of elevation is the
highest course in the Old Dominion state. Although just 6,712 yards in length,
the layout is extremely difficult, with its small slick putting surfaces, tight
tree-lined fairways and a variety of elevation changes on each and every
hole. "Our greens are in great shape and can be quite a challenge for sure,"
said Philip Licata, head golf professional at Devils Knob. "How good ... we
have a member that refers to our greens as 'curved concrete.'"
With a par of 70, this course will certainly play to a scoring average of over
par, but let's not forget the outstanding course conditioning. This is golf at
its best.
"The environment allows us to grow grass very easily since it's cooler up here
on the mountain and it's drier with lower humidity, so our conditions are
outstanding," continued Licata. "Although weather is big factor, much of the
credit needs to go to our superintendent Wallace Haskins, with Fred Biggers
overlooking his work."
Although the course is difficult, especially from the back tees, it certainly
is user-friendly with five sets of markers playing down to 4,000 yards. So all
of those junior golfers striving to become the next Tiger Woods or Rory
McIlroy, Devils Knob will be a great start.
"Year to year, our conditions at Devils Knob are very consistent, mainly
because of the environment," Licata said. "It's a lot cooler, roughly 12-15
degrees cooler than the valley. So it's a nice change of pace during the
summer months. Our season is usually the second Friday in April and the last
Sunday in October at Devils Knob, while Stoney Creek is open year-round, as
long as there is no snow on the ground."
If it's a full day of golf you strive for, then go no further than the 27 holes
down in the valley at Stoney Creek.
Legendary golf course architect Rees Jones crafted all three nines situated in
Rockfish Valley, 3,000 feet below the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Jones, known as the "Open Doctor," for redesigning and renovating many of the
U.S. Open Championship venues in the past two decades, crafted the first 18
holes in 1988 and within one year, it was selected as runner-up for the "Best
New Resort Course" by Golf Digest.
The Monocan and Shamokin nines were followed 10 years later by the Tuckahoe
nine, and all three courses feature the many elements of a Jones design,
complete with generous landing areas, mounding, several forced carries, deep
bunkers and large greens.
"The Tuckahoe nine is a lot of up and down with topography change and Cavalier
Zoysia fairways, which is, day in and day out, the best surfaces to play on and
personally, I think our fairways are the best on the East Coast," said Geoff
Redgrave, director of golf at Wintergreen.
What might set Wintergreen apart from other resorts is the outstanding golf
"What we want to do at the academy is have a variety of offerings for the
beginner player as well as the advanced player, not to mention the junior
golfer," Redgrave said. "We try to provide a holistic approach to hit all the
different types of golfers."
The key here is that it's not just a "come in for an hour lesson," these are
programs tailor-made to your game and time frame.
"We have one, two and three-day golf school programs," Redgrave added, "with
very small class sizes that run four hours per day, including lunch and a round
of golf, so this is a great way to work on your game with as close to a one-on-
one basis than you can find."
In addition, the junior and family programs at Wintergreen are ideal for all
levels, as they work on teaching the fundamentals of golf. "We teamed up with
Nike and US Sports Camps to get kids here for a good part of the week," said
Redgrave. "Kids stay overnight and work on their games for an entire week."
A big part of Wintergreen is family and the golf programs fit this resort to a
"tee," so to speak.
"We have family golf programs that we utilize, where we have instruction with
the families who take our clinic and then they all go out and play the
course," Redgrave said. "We shorten the golf course and they play the family
fun tees in the afternoon, so they are not intimidated by other golfers and
they'll experience the golf course. This is a neat way to reach out to new
golfers as well as experienced players so that they can enjoy the game more."
All I can say is Wintergreen is one of those unique resorts. Where else can you
ski in the morning and play golf in the afternoon, and I'm not talking about
Xbox? This is just the tip of the iceberg, but I'll have to make another visit
to Wintergreen, so I can take on the 900-foot Zip Line, the 30 miles of hiking,
boating/fishing on the James River, shooting a better score at Devils Knob or
gaining revenge on my son for beating me at miniature golf.
Don't just take my word for it, experience it for yourself and let me know how
you make out.

Did you feel that? Me neither! We've had seismic activity in our area before and some feel the movement and other don't. I did not feel anything Wednesday night, but seismic activity was definitely recorded east of La Sal.
As I've mentioned previously in this column, La Sal has a state of the art observatory. This was constructed eight to ten years ago by Don and Janet Curley on the south side of La Sal.
They also host on their property a seismic monitoring station operated by the University of Utah. Don sent along this report late Wednesday night: "I wanted to report an earthquake that occurred at 9:46 p.m. tonight. The epicenter was 15 miles due east of La Sal, and the preliminary magnitude was 4.4 (local magnitude).
"My wife and I both felt the quake and would characterize the shaking motion as moderate with a perceived duration of approximately 20 seconds."
Don also sent a .jpg of the seismic graph, as well as maps of the location and other interesting data. It is available on the San Juan Record website.
Holy Frack! Does that sound like a good swear word. Well, "frack" is just that to many concerned citizens. It is the practice of injecting fluid underground to "fracture" the rock layers and cause a bigger release of oil or gas.
I found this quote in the Grand Junction Sentinel regarding our earthquake last week: "Though a precise connection can't yet be drawn, all signs are pointing to a deep-well injection project by the Bureau of Reclamation as the genesis of an unusually large earthquake felt…"
Now, this water injection was not done for fraking purposes, but rather might have been caused by the high pressure injection of brine 16,000 into the earth. The well is part of a project that removes excess salt from the Colorado and Dolores rivers. It just reminds us that "It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature". You just never know what you might initiate.
A total of about 20 folks attended the concealed weapons training on Sunday afternoon at the Community Center. The instructor was very good and had answers to a lot of questions.
Information was available on how to proceed with obtaining a permit, including current passport type photos and the costs associated with obtaining the permit. Everyone was also able to be fully fingerprinted as part of the application process. There are 38 states which recognize Utah's permit.
This is just an observation, but watching the national news and also hearing discussions from local folks, the development of U. S. gun control measures are going to be an interesting thing to see.
I have to say personally, that I'm in the same boat as Marsha Jensen (see her column in last week's SJR), but I'd say the majority of Westerners will not be giving up their firearms. A lot of compromise will have to go into the development of this policy.
Now that the holidays are behind us and we can move on with our regular lives, it is time for the next reading and discussion for the La Sal Literary Guild. It is great weather anyway for a good curled up in front of the fire with a good book.
The selection for our next discussion is "Three Cups of Tea" which is a non-fiction read. The subject is the building of schools in the poorest parts of Pakistan.
It has been a very interesting read and shows the determination of some of the world's most underprivileged kids to obtain and education. It also is probably the a good front on which to fight terrorism.
The group will meet for discussion on February 12 at 7 p.m. at the Community Center/Library. I'll guarantee – there will also be food!!
Along these lines, the rumor (actually more than just a rumor) that our local library will have expanded hours this summer. Our local librarian gets a lot of praise at the County Library Board meetings for the way our little library has been such an asset to our community.
The folks on the community recreation board are planning an all ladies activity night scheduled for February 9 at 7 p.m. More details should be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks and I will pass those along. I'm sure there will be flyers at La Sal Central with more info.
This weekend's storms brought more than an inch of moisture to our locale. We may be able to shower this summer after all. Maybe even water the lawn and garden. The seed catalogs are coming in the mail – must be time to dream of Spring.

My co-edited book, On Suffering: An Inter-disciplinary Dialogue on Narrative and Meaning of Suffering, is published and available. This book gathers really smart academics from around the world from different disciplines who are interested in finding meaning in human suffering.
My friend and co-editor, Nate Hinerman, are happy to have brought these good people together to dialogue on an essential question. Why do we suffer?
This book offers many different answers from many different perspectives. You will find a critical debate here about the scope of one's narrative of meaning--is the meaning-making of suffering personal, communal, or meta-narrative?
I hope you will read our book as you consider how to make sense of suffering.

Let's start with the bad part of summer.
The deadliest internal parasite for sheep is the blood-sucking stomach roundworm Haemonchus contortus, also known as the barber pole worm. It causes severe anemia and death. Wet grass and hot weather bring it on in our herd. Some ewes are are not affected, but those who get it stop eating, turn white, and then die. Two of our ewes died last week. We had to lock them in the barnyard. Allowing the pasture to rest helps get rid of the larvae. Sheep graze close to the ground and overgraze in the same areas. We need to use fencing to create multiple paddocks in our 22-acre pasture. See more about these deadly parasites here.
We have had an unusually wet summer. On July 19 we had 5 inches of rain. That is crazy. Good thing we are turning half of our corn farm into wetlands next year, because it's going that way on its own.
Now for the good parts of summer.
Nephews in our grove.
Relatives visiting from California enjoyed walking around the pasture.
Grandpa Freese has all 13 grandchildren around him. They range in age from 7 to 37.
The Iowa state bird is the goldfinch. This one tapped on my windows all weekend.
Another view at another window.
My onions are drying on the south side of the shop. After two days, I put them on the porch for two weeks.
I love to sit in the shade of my backyard.
Bob got a practical gift for my birthday - at my request. I took the day vacation and had great plans to sit in the yard with a book, but that was the day it rained for 10 hours.
Rain makes grain! (I'm wearing my favorite t-shirt. "I'm blogging this.")

It's a crazy time to be a Veronica Mars fan. A year ago, all we had to hold onto was some desperate notion that maybe, just maybe, in some faraway future, Warner Bros. might have mercy on us and make the long-awaited movie continuation a reality. One Kickstarter later and that movie and two sequel books - to be written by creator Rob Thomas - are officially on the way.
We already saw a trailer (of sorts) for the forthcoming film during San Diego Comic-Con 2013. It was incredibly early footage, considering the movie hadn't even completed filming yet, but it gave fans a solid grasp of what we were in store for. Now, a featurette (above) containing a whole bunch of new footage has been released, and it poses the age-old question: Are you Team Logan or are you Team Piz?
The footage provides the lowdown on what Veronica (Kristen Bell) has been doing since her series was unceremoniously canceled some six years ago. She's in New York, she's dating Piz (Chris Lowell), and she's looking to start her career as a lawyer when she finds out that ex-boyfriend Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) has been charged for the murder of his pop-star girlfriend. Logan, as he always does in such situations (he's been arrested innumerable times at this point), calls Veronica for help, and Veronica comes a'running back to Neptune.
All this, of course, we've known from the previous trailer and interviews with writer/director/creator Rob Thomas. We also know that the murder just happens to coincide with Veronica's ten-year high school reunion, which convienently allows for the reappearance of many of our favorite characters from seasons 1-3.
In the trailer, you can see Wallace (Percy Daggs III), Mac (Tina Majorino), Dick (Ryan Hansen), Sean Friedrich (Kevin Sheridan) - who may have something to do with the murder - Principal Van Clemmons (Duane Daniels), Gia Goodman (Krysten Ritter), Luke Haldeman (Sam Huntington), Leo D'Amato (Max Greenfield), Vinnie Van Lowe (Ken Marino), Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni), the new Sheriff Lamb (Jerry O'Connell), and more.
Interestingly, the featurette places a significant focus on the Veronica, Piz, Logan love triangle, and it's hard to say if that means the movie itself will heavily focus on it. It's not unusual for featurettes to focus on a single aspect of a film, though, so your guess is as good as ours.
As for whether or not I'm Team Logan or Team Piz - had you asked me before (a portion of) the plot was released for the movie, I would've said I was Team Logan all the way. It was a pretty big surprise for me when it was revealed that Piz would be dating Veronica in the film. VMars fans know that they were dating at the end of the series, though it seemed likely that their their relationship would be coming to an end soon.
The question is - did it come to the end? Did the two break up and the get back together down the line, perhaps when they both met up in NYC? Or have they been dating for almost ten years now? Because if they've been dating for ten years, it's kind of hard to be pulling for the demise of their very serious relationship when, in retrospect, Veronica's relationship with Logan seems almost like a meaningless fling.
What say you, Screen Ranters? Are you Team Logan or are you Team Piz? Or do you not really care and you just want to see this movie get released? Drop us a line in the comments.

The Veronica Mars movie is currently testing and is expected to hit theaters very early 2014, possibly in January.

creepy little monkey bento
Packed in an Everset sandwich box:
- two little cream cheese and fruit preserve sandwiches
- silicone cup of cucumbers and a big strawberry
- whole wheat pretzel sticks
- cheddar cheese flowers cut with a mini flower shaped cutter
- purple grapes (left on the vine so they stay together better)
- fruit leather creepy monkey face, secured with a bento hat pick
The sandwich is made with what I think is an empanada press. I'm not sure how I even came to own this, but it's been in my kitchen utensil drawer for years. It's nice because it uses up the whole slice of bread, only crusts going to waste (or in our case, in the scrap bag for feeding ducks). And the edges are all nicely sealed up for less mess. And it's cute. :)
update: I remembered! It's a dumpling maker I ordered from JBox. Mystery solved!!
The creepy monkey's face was made using the same cutter set I used to make the faces on the cheese in the 12 days of Christmas: eleven pipers piping bento -- so many people asked if it was from a punch -- no way! I'd never stick anything squishy like cheese or fruit leather in a punch. What a mess that would make! :) This is the cutter set I used:
I don't know what it is called exactly and I can't find them anywhere anymore - I've had these for a long time. This is actually two sets, each set came with 3 "discs". I'm missing one in this pic (that is, I couldn't find it to include in the photo). I bought one set from JBox over a year ago and the second set I found at a local bento shop before that. The closest thing I can find is these cutters on Amazon, that's the same brand packaging, but not the same set I have. If anyone has seen them somewhere, please share in comments! I know a lot of people were interested in them.
update: these cutters are now available here.
So please tell. Are you in the camp that monkeys are creepy too? Or are you in the Cute Camp? Let's hear it for Camp Creepy. ;-)

Sorry, I'm in the cute camp as far as monkeys go. I have to thank you for helping me become a mom of note at my daughter's lunch table. Lunch boxes are new to me since she's a kindergartner, but through seeing what you do and attempting at least one thing each day, I'm making her lunches more fun.

I've found a variety of those sets on eBay. I did see the arm ones somewhere, but they were too rich for my blood.

I'm in the cute camp when it comes to monkeys. They're one of my favorite animals.
I really love the press you used for the sandwiches. I'll have to look into getting one myself.

I am solidly in the creepy camp! But your Bento is cool, nevertheless.

The 3 cutters in the top row are KYARAPP cutters. The cheapest I was able to find was from a seller on eBay for $14.99 plus s/h. Many other sites carry them but their prices were much higher ($18-23 plus s/h). This is the seller I bought from:
Love those little face cutters too. I see that AllThingsForSale will be getting them in soon, so I'll definitely have to check that out. They are my favorite place to get Bento supplies. Great prices and super quick shipping.

Some time has passed since my first webinar, and I'm still blown away by your awesome response. It's encouraging me to keep doing more webinars as time allows!
This post isn't another webinar announcement, unfortunately, just a recap for those who couldn't attend my Mailchimp webinar live or want to watch it again. There's two ways to watch – via YouTube, or from the event page on Google Hangouts. When you watch via the event page, you also see the Questions & Answers hangouts app – that's where everyone was submitting their questions during the webinar. I tried to remember to read the questions before answering, but I know for me as a viewer it's easier to read them myself as I watch.
Click here to watch via the Hangouts event page.
I want to note that MailChimp does change their site layout every so often, for all I know in six months this webinar will be outdated. The meat of it does stay the same – the list, campaigns, templates, where to add lead magnets, etc.
The two WordPress plugins I refer to are Easy MailChimp Forms and PopUpAlly – I used the free versions of both. A popular alternative to PopUpAlly is SumoMe, but I found that plugin very limiting – and it took more server resources than PopUpAlly when I was deciding between the two.
If you have any questions after watching the recording, feel free to ask them here in the comments of this post – I'm more likely to see your questions here than on the event page. If you want to get notified first for any upcoming free marketing webinars, subscribe to my business tips newsletter. Subscribers will receive a free guide to optimizing blog posts for social media sharing later this week!

During Time Of College Hoops Change, MSG, Big East Keep Things The Same
By Barry Janoff
October 18, 2012: The Big East Conference and Madison Square Garden have agreed to a multi-year extension of their contract under which the Big East Championship would remain in the venue.
Madison Square Garden, currently in the midst of a nearly $1 billion renovation, has been the home of the Big East Championship since 1983. Both parties are planning major activation behind the 30th anniversary of the event.
Financial terms of the alliance were not disclosed.
The deal comes at a time of major transition for the Big East. Syracuse and Pittsburgh are moving to the ACC following this season and Notre Dame is following them in 2014. Miami, Boston College and West Virginia already have departed.
Concurrently, Temple, Memphis, Southern Methodist, Central Florida and Houston are scheduled to join the Big East for all sports beginning in 2013.
The deal also comes as the just-opened Barclays Center across the East River in Brooklyn has taken some college hoops thunder away from Madison Square Garden. Among the events scheduled for Barclays Center's rookie year are the Barclays Center Classic (Nov. 9), the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic (Nov. 16-17), the Progressive Legends Classic (Nov. 19-2), the Brooklyn Hoops Holiday Invitational (Dec. 22) and the Atlantic 10 Conference league tournament (March),
"Madison Square Garden has been the Big East's home for 30 years and has produced some of the signature moments in college basketball history," Big East commissioner Mike Aresco said in a statement. "We are happy that our teams will continue to bring the excitement of Big East basketball to the Garden."
The 30th annual Big East Championship will be held March 12-16, 2013.
"The Big East Tournament . . . routinely features all the excitement, passion and suspense of the very best in college basketball."
According to Joel Fisher, evp for MSG Sports, "Madison Square Garden is thrilled to be extending our relationship with The Big East, an outstanding partner for 30 years. The Big East Tournament is perennially one of The Garden's most widely anticipated events, and routinely features all the excitement, passion and suspense of the very best in college basketball."
For the coming season, Big East Conference men's hoops teams include Cincinnati, Connecticut, DePaul, Georgetown, defending champion Louisville, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St. John's, Syracuse, University of Southern Florida and Villanova.
"As the mecca of basketball, there's no question that the transformed, state-of-the-art Madison Square Garden arena is the perfect setting for unforgettable Big East moments for years to come," said Fisher.

After FTC Crisis, Skechers Going Global With Montana, Cuban, LaSorda, Quiggly
By Barry Janoff
August 31, 2012: Skechers USA, fresh off its run-in with the Federal Trade Commission, is planning a major marketing push that will hit in the U.S. and internationally, which will include the return of Mark Cuban and Joe Montana, the addition of baseball icon Tommy LaSorda, as well as Mr. Quiggly, the pooch who starred in the the company's most recent Super Bowl commercial.
The campaign will supper the global launch of its Relaxed Fit footwear collection for men. Skechers previously said it would return to the Super Bowl with a commercial to run on CBS during Super Bowl XLVII in February.
The effort will be anchored by TV spots starring, respectively, Dallas Mavericks owner Cuban, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Montana and LaSorda, a member of the baseball Hall of Fame who has been associated with the game since the 1940s. Skechers said that the three spots would run consecutively, starting with Cuban's commercial, this Fall. The TV spots are designed to reflect each man's unique personalities "to showcase Relaxed Fit's wide range of features," according to Skechers: "Cuban's popularity, Montana's ability to remain calm under pressure and Lasorda's spirited character."
The campaign also will include print, in-store, online and social media such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.
Earlier this year, the Manhattan Beach, Calif.-based company agreed to pay $50 million to settle allegations of false advertising filed by the Federal Trade Commission and the attorneys general of 44 states. Ads featuring Montana, Kim Kardashian and Brooke Burke came under fire by the FTC over claims that Skechers' toning shoes would help people lose weight, tone muscles and fight heart disease.
Skechers denied any wrong doing and said it agreed to the settlement "[to avoid] the exorbitant cost and endless distraction of several years spent defending multiple lawsuits in multiple courts across the country."
"Mark, Joe and Tommy are three sports legends promoting an idea that's inspired by the ingenuity of relaxed jeans: product that doesn't just offer more comfort, but looks great as well," Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers, said in a statement.
"Guys want their shoes to feel roomy without making their feet look wide and Relaxed Fit shoes are designed to offer this kind of comfort with a more stylish design. Plus, with these power players in professional basketball, football and baseball backing this new brand, we're confident that Relaxed Fit footwear is going to strike a chord with guys everywhere," said Greenberg."
Relaxed Fit will be Cuban and Montana's second endorsement for the Skechers, with both previously starring in Super Bowl spots for the company.
Skechers recently began an association with LaSorda through Skechers Foundation, designed to support families and communities in need. Skechers and Lasorda co-host a day at Dodger Stadium on Aug. 1 for members of the Friendship Circle, an organization dedicated to nurturing and inspiring the special needs community.
"[Super Bowl XVLI in] 2012 was our third year at the Big Game and thanks to Mr. Quiggly, we ranked third in the viewer polls," Greenberg said of the commercial the featured Cuban and Quiggly. "Next year we'll be celebrating our second anniversary as a performance brand and we already have Mr. Quiggly booked and back in training for his triumphant return. We're aiming for the No. 1 Super Bowl commercial this time."
