ldquoIncessantly scouring the uni-verse (and my back yard) for the weird the wacky and thestupid so you donrsquot have tordquo

If I havenrsquot alienated everyonewith my past couple of

columns I am back to try againIf you havenrsquot noticed I haveshifted from looking without tolooking more within I find itinteresting that the most of thecomments people have made tome (positive) have come aboutthe more personal observationsrather than so much lsquocut and

pastersquo So

Hey Happy New Day I maystay up until midnight tonight(and every night) to welcomethe New Day Whatever thenext day is itrsquos a new day andunique new date that will never

be repeated So what are your

New Dayrsquos resolutions

Unless you are a Facebook friend you probably missed my

birthday Itrsquos come and gonewith nary a word from any of you Thatrsquos okay though I amat the point where Irsquove stoppedcounting (or wish I could) Ihave well-passed the 20-some-thingth anniversary of my 39thIn all honesty I am starting tolook over my shoulder for a guyin a black robe following meholding a scythe As I tell any-one who will listen I may have30 seconds or 30 years leftwhich is actually true for all of us As the saying goes ldquoLive

like yoursquoll die tomorrow planlike yoursquoll live foreverrdquo

Gotta love some of the deepthinkers on Facebook Severalhave posted the following quotesupposedly from Senator DianeFeinstein ldquoThe Senators feelthe best course of action is toremove all weapons from lawenforcement and private citi-zens so no one else gets hurtWhen the gunman realizes that

nobody else is armed he willlay down his weapons and turnhimself inhellip thatrsquos just humannaturerdquo I am thinking that noonersquos stupid enough to say that(not even a politician) so Ichecked it out Turns out it wasfrom a piece of satire but postedon Facebook as fact and wasaccompanied in a couple of cases by quite the rants Evenafter I pointed it was fake itwas left up and others kept

posting as if it were gospelThink people ndash therersquos enough

real lsquostuffrsquo happening that youdonrsquot have to make it upPosting such inaccurate things

just makes you look bad

Whole lotta learning goinrsquo onScanning the TV offerings Ifound a show lsquoSex Sent Me tothe ERrsquo Um what does one sayto that one Only that I hope Inever show up on it (And itwas on The Learning ChannelIsnrsquot that the same channel thatoffered you Honey Boo BooAlso on the same channel wereldquoI Found the Gownrdquo ldquoSister Wivesrdquo ldquoCake Bossrdquo ldquoGypsySistersrdquo and ldquoMy StrangeAddictionrdquo In all fairness I

havenrsquot watched any of theaforementioned shows and I presume I could probably learnsomething if I did but I have toguess learning means some-thing different today than it didas I grew up)

While I do personally like mostof the Sandwich Artists whowork at Subway-in-Wal-Mart(kind of sounds like Stratford-upon-Avon no it doesnrsquot) myfirst question to the on-dutysandwich artist when I visit has

become ldquoSo what are you outof todayrdquo Do you know whatI mean here or do I need toexplain There is a certain taste

I strive for and even one ingre-dient is missing (or bread type)itrsquos just not the same In a

broader sense it seems more

and more often both major stores in Plymouth are out of more and more more often

I am a newsaholic I like hardnews but itrsquos hard to find it inthe North Country It is ironicthat I mostly get area news fromFacebook as Channel 9 rarelyventures north of Concord(unless itrsquos a BIG story) and thelocal paper is a weekly One of the major stories carried onChannel 9 was how a 12-year-old girl got her tongue stuck toa flagpole Must have been areally slow news day

Question of the Week Ia basketball player Cago to North Korea Judering

On the recommendatio bestie I just watched mldquoCastlerdquo While the experience was good t

prise ending came outfield and absolutely gowill be looking for episodes

Finally I am hoping theweather has come and gthe rest of the winter is(I know what I mean)

The Adventuresof Tom amp Atticus

While Atticus continues tomount his comeback from lastsummerrsquos amputation and half ayear of chemotherapy treat-ments we have yet to return tothe trails Our return will behere soon enough So instead

of sharing a trip report with youin this issue Irsquom offering a fewsuggestions on places to takeyour new snowshoes for a hike

The other day a friend contact-ed me Hersquos used to goinguphill but his hiking proteacutegeacute isnew to the game and has beenstruggling with the ldquouprdquo part of the hikes lately He asked for asuggestion that would be flatterI sent them up the CoppermineTrail to Bridal Veil Falls andboth of them loved it It sits onthe backside of CannonMountain not too far fromRobert Frostrsquos old home (Thehike is easy enough and shouldnot take all day so take a detour and check it out)

The Coppermine Trail starts at

the end of Coppermine Roadand is on the east side of NH116 about a mile south of theFranconia Airport Its 25 miles

each way with only 1100 feetof elevation gain The trail fol-lows Coppermine Brook mostof the way and looks complete-ly different this time of year than any other The snow andice are something to beholdand thatrsquos even before youmake it all the way to the falls

For a side trip about a quarter of a mile into the hike yoursquollcome to a flat area to the rightof the trail and just below itPeople often camp there duringthe summer In the water on arock you will find a plaque left

by Bette Davis for one of her ex-husbands Arthur Farnsworth which reads ldquoInMemoriam to Arthur

Farnsworth the keeper of strayladies Presented by a GratefulOnerdquo Therersquos much more tothis story and you can find iton-line but it has to do withBette getting lost (perhaps on

purpose) and Arthur findingher

Another mostly flat hike is the Nancy Pond Trail (some say itis haunted by the ghost of

Nancy Barton) It takes you to Nancy Cascades for a round tripof 48 miles All the way to

Nancy Pond and back is 68 or to Norcross Pond its 86 Theview from Norcross Pond upinto the mountains is spectacu-lar on a good day During thisseason of frozen (or mostlyfrozen) waterfalls NancyCascades is a special treat The

trailhead is located south of Crawford Notch on Route 302

For a hike with a view of val-leys down below and moun-tains above the hike to the topof Mount Pemigewasset via theMount Pemigewasset Trailfrom the Flume parking lot and

bike path is a great bang for your buck hike Itrsquos 18 miles tothe mountaintop with 1250 feetof elevation gain Once on topyou will come to a great openshelf of rock thatrsquos fine for sun-ning yourself even on the cold-est of days From there youlook down on the valley to thesouth and out and some distant

peaks But donrsquot stop thereTherersquos a trail to the left that

brings you to the eastern side of the mountain with dramaticviews up to Franconia Ridge

For a steeper climb to the same peak you can take the IndianHead Trail It begins further south along US 3 about a quar-ter of a mile south of the IndianHead Resort The parking areawhich is on the left when com-ing south may be plowed out if you are lucky This is a 19 milehike to the summit with 1550feet of elevation gain

Better yet if you have the abil-ity to do a car spot you can doa traverse of both trails

Whenever we are in theFranconia Notch area for ahike a must stop by for us isHalf Baked amp Fully Brewed onthe Kancamagus Highway

They offer great sandwiches baked goods and coffee

Atticus and I have shared manyof their sandwiches atop amountain and now that Irsquom

vegan they still have offeringsthat are mouthwatering I canenjoy

And lastly if you are into a seri-ous climb are well-equippedand have carefully monitoredthe higher summits forecastour favorite route to the top of Mount Moosilauke in winter isthe Glenncliff Trail It is a 39mile hike to the summit with3300 feet of elevation gain Ona windier day we prefer theGorge Brook Trail since it hasless exposure but on a fair dayin winter the approach to thesummit is just stunning

Moosilauke is the tenth highest peak in the White Mountainsand stands at 4802 feet with360 degree views And if the

wind picks up you can hdown on top of the round

peak by hiding behind so

the blocks left from whhotel sat atop the mountai

As with all of the peaks ptake responsibility for youWinter hiking may be bea

but itrsquos far more dangerouoffers less margin for Hike wisely so that you endanger yourself your h

partners or the people of and rescue who will hacome looking for you

In winter your best piecequipment are the latestcast and a good dose of mon sense (Snowshoeshelp)

Enjoy the trails everyonelook forward to being mountaintop soon enoughselves

NOTICE

Nobody Asked Just My Opinion _______ Another two weeks gone by and another two weeks of strangeweather Hope everyone made it through the ice and freezing okay One thing about New

England you never know what the weather is going to be likethe next day ndash or the next minute for that matter

This time around I want totouch upon a subject that I amcertainly no authority on I amnot sure any of us are but it def-initely affects all of us at onetime or another Whether it be

someone famous a pet a friend or a family member deathaffects us all at one time or another

The reason I bring this up thisweek is due to the fact that likemany of you reading this I livein a very small town Warrenhas just around 900 people in it

Most likely as I do you knowabout 95 of the people wholive within your communities

Yes I do have a reason for bringing this all up

In Warren we lost 20 peoplethis past year Many of themlocal icons in their own right

In the past few weeks alone since Christmas Eve we havecertainly lost our share Therewere more than four just withinthe past few weeks that affected many of the same family mem-bers Two who passed werebrothers Grover and Harold

Libby passed within but a few

days of each other

Another Helen (Ball) Whitcherwho held the Boston Post Caneat 99 years of age

Yet another a friend taken fromus way to early Nelson

Kennedy Jr Built like an ox ahard worker and simply a good

guy Nelson was born in 1959 All their obituaries appear inthis issue of the newspaper

I dont bring death up to bum people out or to be negative inany way I do bring it up howev-er to make us stop and think for a moment How many times dowe say I wish we had said thisto someone or done this with

someone or have been meaning to stop by and say hello But wedont Then itrsquos just too late

Our thoughts are with the fami-ly and friends of these people at the moment As I stated earliermany of the same families wereaffected by the death of all four of the people I mentioned So it has been a tough few weeks for many

If you have someone you havebeen meaning to call write or

stop by to say hello do it as you just never know whentheyll be taken from us Yes lifeis definitely too short

Nobody Asked Just MyOpinion - ~ BEF

Senator Jeff Woodburn (D- Dalton) has a creditabili ty problem When hersquos in his dis-trict he talks a good gameabout bipartisanship but whenhe gets to Concord hersquos just another partisan Democrat attacking Republicans with half truths or outright fabrications

Recently Senator Woodburnwrote an article claiming

Republican legislators had filed a bill for a so-called ldquocanoetaxrdquo Such a bill would requireowners of non-motorized ves-

sels such as canoes kayaks

and row boats to pay a $10 taxwhich would go to support

spending by NH Fish and Game Senator Woodburnbravely took the stance of opposing this bill

The only problem is that therenever was a ldquocanoe taxrdquo bill

though Senator Woodburn isquick to take credit for killing that fictional bill The Senator knew that there was no such bill in existence but decided toignore such a trivial fact

Maybe Senator Woodburnrsquos

fight against imaginaryto distract our attentiothe tax increases he do

port Despite his earlieopposition to a gas tax Woodburn now says heto increase the gas tax

While politicians in Was

feel itrsquos acceptable to false promises (if you lidoctor you can keep yotorhellip) here in New Hamwe expect better

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

problem of obesity Hopwe will provide supporencouragement to each otour goal to keep each other

pastersquo So

Hey Happy New Day I maystay up until midnight tonight(and every night) to welcomethe New Day Whatever thenext day is itrsquos a new day andunique new date that will never

Unless you are a Facebook friend you probably missed my

birthday Itrsquos come and gonewith nary a word from any of you Thatrsquos okay though I amat the point where Irsquove stoppedcounting (or wish I could) Ihave well-passed the 20-some-thingth anniversary of my 39thIn all honesty I am starting tolook over my shoulder for a guyin a black robe following meholding a scythe As I tell any-one who will listen I may have30 seconds or 30 years leftwhich is actually true for all of us As the saying goes ldquoLive

like yoursquoll die tomorrow planlike yoursquoll live foreverrdquo

Gotta love some of the deepthinkers on Facebook Severalhave posted the following quotesupposedly from Senator DianeFeinstein ldquoThe Senators feelthe best course of action is toremove all weapons from lawenforcement and private citi-zens so no one else gets hurtWhen the gunman realizes that

nobody else is armed he willlay down his weapons and turnhimself inhellip thatrsquos just humannaturerdquo I am thinking that noonersquos stupid enough to say that(not even a politician) so Ichecked it out Turns out it wasfrom a piece of satire but postedon Facebook as fact and wasaccompanied in a couple of cases by quite the rants Evenafter I pointed it was fake itwas left up and others kept

posting as if it were gospelThink people ndash therersquos enough

just makes you look bad

havenrsquot watched any of theaforementioned shows and I presume I could probably learnsomething if I did but I have toguess learning means some-thing different today than it didas I grew up)

While I do personally like mostof the Sandwich Artists whowork at Subway-in-Wal-Mart(kind of sounds like Stratford-upon-Avon no it doesnrsquot) myfirst question to the on-dutysandwich artist when I visit has

become ldquoSo what are you outof todayrdquo Do you know whatI mean here or do I need toexplain There is a certain taste

I strive for and even one ingre-dient is missing (or bread type)itrsquos just not the same In a

broader sense it seems more

and more often both major stores in Plymouth are out of more and more more often

I am a newsaholic I like hardnews but itrsquos hard to find it inthe North Country It is ironicthat I mostly get area news fromFacebook as Channel 9 rarelyventures north of Concord(unless itrsquos a BIG story) and thelocal paper is a weekly One of the major stories carried onChannel 9 was how a 12-year-old girl got her tongue stuck toa flagpole Must have been areally slow news day

- Tom Ryan P

The Adventuresof Tom amp Atticus

While Atticus continues tomount his comeback from lastsummerrsquos amputation and half ayear of chemotherapy treat-ments we have yet to return tothe trails Our return will behere soon enough So instead

of sharing a trip report with youin this issue Irsquom offering a fewsuggestions on places to takeyour new snowshoes for a hike

The other day a friend contact-ed me Hersquos used to goinguphill but his hiking proteacutegeacute isnew to the game and has beenstruggling with the ldquouprdquo part of the hikes lately He asked for asuggestion that would be flatterI sent them up the CoppermineTrail to Bridal Veil Falls andboth of them loved it It sits onthe backside of CannonMountain not too far fromRobert Frostrsquos old home (Thehike is easy enough and shouldnot take all day so take a detour and check it out)

The Coppermine Trail starts at

the end of Coppermine Roadand is on the east side of NH116 about a mile south of theFranconia Airport Its 25 miles

each way with only 1100 feetof elevation gain The trail fol-lows Coppermine Brook mostof the way and looks complete-ly different this time of year than any other The snow andice are something to beholdand thatrsquos even before youmake it all the way to the falls

For a side trip about a quarter of a mile into the hike yoursquollcome to a flat area to the rightof the trail and just below itPeople often camp there duringthe summer In the water on arock you will find a plaque left

by Bette Davis for one of her ex-husbands Arthur Farnsworth which reads ldquoInMemoriam to Arthur

Farnsworth the keeper of strayladies Presented by a GratefulOnerdquo Therersquos much more tothis story and you can find iton-line but it has to do withBette getting lost (perhaps on

purpose) and Arthur findingher

Another mostly flat hike is the Nancy Pond Trail (some say itis haunted by the ghost of

Nancy Barton) It takes you to Nancy Cascades for a round tripof 48 miles All the way to

Nancy Pond and back is 68 or to Norcross Pond its 86 Theview from Norcross Pond upinto the mountains is spectacu-lar on a good day During thisseason of frozen (or mostlyfrozen) waterfalls NancyCascades is a special treat The

trailhead is located south of Crawford Notch on Route 302

For a hike with a view of val-leys down below and moun-tains above the hike to the topof Mount Pemigewasset via theMount Pemigewasset Trailfrom the Flume parking lot and

bike path is a great bang for your buck hike Itrsquos 18 miles tothe mountaintop with 1250 feetof elevation gain Once on topyou will come to a great openshelf of rock thatrsquos fine for sun-ning yourself even on the cold-est of days From there youlook down on the valley to thesouth and out and some distant

peaks But donrsquot stop thereTherersquos a trail to the left that

brings you to the eastern side of the mountain with dramaticviews up to Franconia Ridge

For a steeper climb to the same peak you can take the IndianHead Trail It begins further south along US 3 about a quar-ter of a mile south of the IndianHead Resort The parking areawhich is on the left when com-ing south may be plowed out if you are lucky This is a 19 milehike to the summit with 1550feet of elevation gain

Better yet if you have the abil-ity to do a car spot you can doa traverse of both trails

Whenever we are in theFranconia Notch area for ahike a must stop by for us isHalf Baked amp Fully Brewed onthe Kancamagus Highway

They offer great sandwiches baked goods and coffee

Atticus and I have shared manyof their sandwiches atop amountain and now that Irsquom

vegan they still have offeringsthat are mouthwatering I canenjoy

And lastly if you are into a seri-ous climb are well-equippedand have carefully monitoredthe higher summits forecastour favorite route to the top of Mount Moosilauke in winter isthe Glenncliff Trail It is a 39mile hike to the summit with3300 feet of elevation gain Ona windier day we prefer theGorge Brook Trail since it hasless exposure but on a fair dayin winter the approach to thesummit is just stunning

Moosilauke is the tenth highest peak in the White Mountainsand stands at 4802 feet with360 degree views And if the

wind picks up you can hdown on top of the round

peak by hiding behind so

the blocks left from whhotel sat atop the mountai

As with all of the peaks ptake responsibility for youWinter hiking may be bea

but itrsquos far more dangerouoffers less margin for Hike wisely so that you endanger yourself your h

partners or the people of and rescue who will hacome looking for you

In winter your best piecequipment are the latestcast and a good dose of mon sense (Snowshoeshelp)

Enjoy the trails everyonelook forward to being mountaintop soon enoughselves

NOTICE

Nobody Asked Just My Opinion _______ Another two weeks gone by and another two weeks of strangeweather Hope everyone made it through the ice and freezing okay One thing about New

England you never know what the weather is going to be likethe next day ndash or the next minute for that matter

This time around I want totouch upon a subject that I amcertainly no authority on I amnot sure any of us are but it def-initely affects all of us at onetime or another Whether it be

someone famous a pet a friend or a family member deathaffects us all at one time or another

The reason I bring this up thisweek is due to the fact that likemany of you reading this I livein a very small town Warrenhas just around 900 people in it

Most likely as I do you knowabout 95 of the people wholive within your communities

Yes I do have a reason for bringing this all up

In Warren we lost 20 peoplethis past year Many of themlocal icons in their own right

In the past few weeks alone since Christmas Eve we havecertainly lost our share Therewere more than four just withinthe past few weeks that affected many of the same family mem-bers Two who passed werebrothers Grover and Harold

Libby passed within but a few

days of each other

Another Helen (Ball) Whitcherwho held the Boston Post Caneat 99 years of age

Yet another a friend taken fromus way to early Nelson

Kennedy Jr Built like an ox ahard worker and simply a good

guy Nelson was born in 1959 All their obituaries appear inthis issue of the newspaper

I dont bring death up to bum people out or to be negative inany way I do bring it up howev-er to make us stop and think for a moment How many times dowe say I wish we had said thisto someone or done this with

someone or have been meaning to stop by and say hello But wedont Then itrsquos just too late

Our thoughts are with the fami-ly and friends of these people at the moment As I stated earliermany of the same families wereaffected by the death of all four of the people I mentioned So it has been a tough few weeks for many

If you have someone you havebeen meaning to call write or

stop by to say hello do it as you just never know whentheyll be taken from us Yes lifeis definitely too short

Nobody Asked Just MyOpinion - ~ BEF

Senator Jeff Woodburn (D- Dalton) has a creditabili ty problem When hersquos in his dis-trict he talks a good gameabout bipartisanship but whenhe gets to Concord hersquos just another partisan Democrat attacking Republicans with half truths or outright fabrications

Recently Senator Woodburnwrote an article claiming

Republican legislators had filed a bill for a so-called ldquocanoetaxrdquo Such a bill would requireowners of non-motorized ves-

sels such as canoes kayaks

and row boats to pay a $10 taxwhich would go to support

spending by NH Fish and Game Senator Woodburnbravely took the stance of opposing this bill

The only problem is that therenever was a ldquocanoe taxrdquo bill

though Senator Woodburn isquick to take credit for killing that fictional bill The Senator knew that there was no such bill in existence but decided toignore such a trivial fact

Maybe Senator Woodburnrsquos

fight against imaginaryto distract our attentiothe tax increases he do

port Despite his earlieopposition to a gas tax Woodburn now says heto increase the gas tax

While politicians in Was

feel itrsquos acceptable to false promises (if you lidoctor you can keep yotorhellip) here in New Hamwe expect better

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

nobody else is armed he willlay down his weapons and turnhimself inhellip thatrsquos just humannaturerdquo I am thinking that noonersquos stupid enough to say that(not even a politician) so Ichecked it out Turns out it wasfrom a piece of satire but postedon Facebook as fact and wasaccompanied in a couple of cases by quite the rants Evenafter I pointed it was fake itwas left up and others kept

posting as if it were gospelThink people ndash therersquos enough

The Adventuresof Tom amp Atticus

While Atticus continues tomount his comeback from lastsummerrsquos amputation and half ayear of chemotherapy treat-ments we have yet to return tothe trails Our return will behere soon enough So instead

of sharing a trip report with youin this issue Irsquom offering a fewsuggestions on places to takeyour new snowshoes for a hike

The other day a friend contact-ed me Hersquos used to goinguphill but his hiking proteacutegeacute isnew to the game and has beenstruggling with the ldquouprdquo part of the hikes lately He asked for asuggestion that would be flatterI sent them up the CoppermineTrail to Bridal Veil Falls andboth of them loved it It sits onthe backside of CannonMountain not too far fromRobert Frostrsquos old home (Thehike is easy enough and shouldnot take all day so take a detour and check it out)

The Coppermine Trail starts at

the end of Coppermine Roadand is on the east side of NH116 about a mile south of theFranconia Airport Its 25 miles

each way with only 1100 feetof elevation gain The trail fol-lows Coppermine Brook mostof the way and looks complete-ly different this time of year than any other The snow andice are something to beholdand thatrsquos even before youmake it all the way to the falls

For a side trip about a quarter of a mile into the hike yoursquollcome to a flat area to the rightof the trail and just below itPeople often camp there duringthe summer In the water on arock you will find a plaque left

by Bette Davis for one of her ex-husbands Arthur Farnsworth which reads ldquoInMemoriam to Arthur

Farnsworth the keeper of strayladies Presented by a GratefulOnerdquo Therersquos much more tothis story and you can find iton-line but it has to do withBette getting lost (perhaps on

purpose) and Arthur findingher

Another mostly flat hike is the Nancy Pond Trail (some say itis haunted by the ghost of

Nancy Barton) It takes you to Nancy Cascades for a round tripof 48 miles All the way to

Nancy Pond and back is 68 or to Norcross Pond its 86 Theview from Norcross Pond upinto the mountains is spectacu-lar on a good day During thisseason of frozen (or mostlyfrozen) waterfalls NancyCascades is a special treat The

trailhead is located south of Crawford Notch on Route 302

For a hike with a view of val-leys down below and moun-tains above the hike to the topof Mount Pemigewasset via theMount Pemigewasset Trailfrom the Flume parking lot and

bike path is a great bang for your buck hike Itrsquos 18 miles tothe mountaintop with 1250 feetof elevation gain Once on topyou will come to a great openshelf of rock thatrsquos fine for sun-ning yourself even on the cold-est of days From there youlook down on the valley to thesouth and out and some distant

peaks But donrsquot stop thereTherersquos a trail to the left that

brings you to the eastern side of the mountain with dramaticviews up to Franconia Ridge

For a steeper climb to the same peak you can take the IndianHead Trail It begins further south along US 3 about a quar-ter of a mile south of the IndianHead Resort The parking areawhich is on the left when com-ing south may be plowed out if you are lucky This is a 19 milehike to the summit with 1550feet of elevation gain

Better yet if you have the abil-ity to do a car spot you can doa traverse of both trails

Whenever we are in theFranconia Notch area for ahike a must stop by for us isHalf Baked amp Fully Brewed onthe Kancamagus Highway

They offer great sandwiches baked goods and coffee

Atticus and I have shared manyof their sandwiches atop amountain and now that Irsquom

vegan they still have offeringsthat are mouthwatering I canenjoy

And lastly if you are into a seri-ous climb are well-equippedand have carefully monitoredthe higher summits forecastour favorite route to the top of Mount Moosilauke in winter isthe Glenncliff Trail It is a 39mile hike to the summit with3300 feet of elevation gain Ona windier day we prefer theGorge Brook Trail since it hasless exposure but on a fair dayin winter the approach to thesummit is just stunning

Moosilauke is the tenth highest peak in the White Mountainsand stands at 4802 feet with360 degree views And if the

wind picks up you can hdown on top of the round

peak by hiding behind so

the blocks left from whhotel sat atop the mountai

As with all of the peaks ptake responsibility for youWinter hiking may be bea

but itrsquos far more dangerouoffers less margin for Hike wisely so that you endanger yourself your h

partners or the people of and rescue who will hacome looking for you

In winter your best piecequipment are the latestcast and a good dose of mon sense (Snowshoeshelp)

Enjoy the trails everyonelook forward to being mountaintop soon enoughselves

NOTICE

Nobody Asked Just My Opinion _______ Another two weeks gone by and another two weeks of strangeweather Hope everyone made it through the ice and freezing okay One thing about New

England you never know what the weather is going to be likethe next day ndash or the next minute for that matter

This time around I want totouch upon a subject that I amcertainly no authority on I amnot sure any of us are but it def-initely affects all of us at onetime or another Whether it be

someone famous a pet a friend or a family member deathaffects us all at one time or another

The reason I bring this up thisweek is due to the fact that likemany of you reading this I livein a very small town Warrenhas just around 900 people in it

Most likely as I do you knowabout 95 of the people wholive within your communities

Yes I do have a reason for bringing this all up

In Warren we lost 20 peoplethis past year Many of themlocal icons in their own right

In the past few weeks alone since Christmas Eve we havecertainly lost our share Therewere more than four just withinthe past few weeks that affected many of the same family mem-bers Two who passed werebrothers Grover and Harold

Libby passed within but a few

days of each other

Another Helen (Ball) Whitcherwho held the Boston Post Caneat 99 years of age

Yet another a friend taken fromus way to early Nelson

Kennedy Jr Built like an ox ahard worker and simply a good

guy Nelson was born in 1959 All their obituaries appear inthis issue of the newspaper

I dont bring death up to bum people out or to be negative inany way I do bring it up howev-er to make us stop and think for a moment How many times dowe say I wish we had said thisto someone or done this with

someone or have been meaning to stop by and say hello But wedont Then itrsquos just too late

Our thoughts are with the fami-ly and friends of these people at the moment As I stated earliermany of the same families wereaffected by the death of all four of the people I mentioned So it has been a tough few weeks for many

If you have someone you havebeen meaning to call write or

stop by to say hello do it as you just never know whentheyll be taken from us Yes lifeis definitely too short

Nobody Asked Just MyOpinion - ~ BEF

Senator Jeff Woodburn (D- Dalton) has a creditabili ty problem When hersquos in his dis-trict he talks a good gameabout bipartisanship but whenhe gets to Concord hersquos just another partisan Democrat attacking Republicans with half truths or outright fabrications

Recently Senator Woodburnwrote an article claiming

Republican legislators had filed a bill for a so-called ldquocanoetaxrdquo Such a bill would requireowners of non-motorized ves-

sels such as canoes kayaks

and row boats to pay a $10 taxwhich would go to support

spending by NH Fish and Game Senator Woodburnbravely took the stance of opposing this bill

The only problem is that therenever was a ldquocanoe taxrdquo bill

though Senator Woodburn isquick to take credit for killing that fictional bill The Senator knew that there was no such bill in existence but decided toignore such a trivial fact

Maybe Senator Woodburnrsquos

fight against imaginaryto distract our attentiothe tax increases he do

port Despite his earlieopposition to a gas tax Woodburn now says heto increase the gas tax

While politicians in Was

feel itrsquos acceptable to false promises (if you lidoctor you can keep yotorhellip) here in New Hamwe expect better

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

Hey Happy New Day I maystay up until midnight tonight(and every night) to welcomethe New Day Whatever thenext day is itrsquos a new day andunique new date that will never

Unless you are a Facebook friend you probably missed my

like yoursquoll die tomorrow planlike yoursquoll live foreverrdquo

Gotta love some of the deepthinkers on Facebook Severalhave posted the following quotesupposedly from Senator DianeFeinstein ldquoThe Senators feelthe best course of action is toremove all weapons from lawenforcement and private citi-zens so no one else gets hurtWhen the gunman realizes that

nobody else is armed he willlay down his weapons and turnhimself inhellip thatrsquos just humannaturerdquo I am thinking that noonersquos stupid enough to say that(not even a politician) so Ichecked it out Turns out it wasfrom a piece of satire but postedon Facebook as fact and wasaccompanied in a couple of cases by quite the rants Evenafter I pointed it was fake itwas left up and others kept

posting as if it were gospelThink people ndash therersquos enough

While I do personally like mostof the Sandwich Artists whowork at Subway-in-Wal-Mart(kind of sounds like Stratford-upon-Avon no it doesnrsquot) myfirst question to the on-dutysandwich artist when I visit has

I strive for and even one ingre-dient is missing (or bread type)itrsquos just not the same In a

broader sense it seems more

and more often both major stores in Plymouth are out of more and more more often

I am a newsaholic I like hardnews but itrsquos hard to find it inthe North Country It is ironicthat I mostly get area news fromFacebook as Channel 9 rarelyventures north of Concord(unless itrsquos a BIG story) and thelocal paper is a weekly One of the major stories carried onChannel 9 was how a 12-year-old girl got her tongue stuck toa flagpole Must have been areally slow news day

The Adventuresof Tom amp Atticus

While Atticus continues tomount his comeback from lastsummerrsquos amputation and half ayear of chemotherapy treat-ments we have yet to return tothe trails Our return will behere soon enough So instead

of sharing a trip report with youin this issue Irsquom offering a fewsuggestions on places to takeyour new snowshoes for a hike

The other day a friend contact-ed me Hersquos used to goinguphill but his hiking proteacutegeacute isnew to the game and has beenstruggling with the ldquouprdquo part of the hikes lately He asked for asuggestion that would be flatterI sent them up the CoppermineTrail to Bridal Veil Falls andboth of them loved it It sits onthe backside of CannonMountain not too far fromRobert Frostrsquos old home (Thehike is easy enough and shouldnot take all day so take a detour and check it out)

The Coppermine Trail starts at

the end of Coppermine Roadand is on the east side of NH116 about a mile south of theFranconia Airport Its 25 miles

each way with only 1100 feetof elevation gain The trail fol-lows Coppermine Brook mostof the way and looks complete-ly different this time of year than any other The snow andice are something to beholdand thatrsquos even before youmake it all the way to the falls

For a side trip about a quarter of a mile into the hike yoursquollcome to a flat area to the rightof the trail and just below itPeople often camp there duringthe summer In the water on arock you will find a plaque left

by Bette Davis for one of her ex-husbands Arthur Farnsworth which reads ldquoInMemoriam to Arthur

Farnsworth the keeper of strayladies Presented by a GratefulOnerdquo Therersquos much more tothis story and you can find iton-line but it has to do withBette getting lost (perhaps on

purpose) and Arthur findingher

Another mostly flat hike is the Nancy Pond Trail (some say itis haunted by the ghost of

Nancy Barton) It takes you to Nancy Cascades for a round tripof 48 miles All the way to

Nancy Pond and back is 68 or to Norcross Pond its 86 Theview from Norcross Pond upinto the mountains is spectacu-lar on a good day During thisseason of frozen (or mostlyfrozen) waterfalls NancyCascades is a special treat The

trailhead is located south of Crawford Notch on Route 302

For a hike with a view of val-leys down below and moun-tains above the hike to the topof Mount Pemigewasset via theMount Pemigewasset Trailfrom the Flume parking lot and

bike path is a great bang for your buck hike Itrsquos 18 miles tothe mountaintop with 1250 feetof elevation gain Once on topyou will come to a great openshelf of rock thatrsquos fine for sun-ning yourself even on the cold-est of days From there youlook down on the valley to thesouth and out and some distant

peaks But donrsquot stop thereTherersquos a trail to the left that

brings you to the eastern side of the mountain with dramaticviews up to Franconia Ridge

For a steeper climb to the same peak you can take the IndianHead Trail It begins further south along US 3 about a quar-ter of a mile south of the IndianHead Resort The parking areawhich is on the left when com-ing south may be plowed out if you are lucky This is a 19 milehike to the summit with 1550feet of elevation gain

Better yet if you have the abil-ity to do a car spot you can doa traverse of both trails

Whenever we are in theFranconia Notch area for ahike a must stop by for us isHalf Baked amp Fully Brewed onthe Kancamagus Highway

They offer great sandwiches baked goods and coffee

Atticus and I have shared manyof their sandwiches atop amountain and now that Irsquom

vegan they still have offeringsthat are mouthwatering I canenjoy

And lastly if you are into a seri-ous climb are well-equippedand have carefully monitoredthe higher summits forecastour favorite route to the top of Mount Moosilauke in winter isthe Glenncliff Trail It is a 39mile hike to the summit with3300 feet of elevation gain Ona windier day we prefer theGorge Brook Trail since it hasless exposure but on a fair dayin winter the approach to thesummit is just stunning

Moosilauke is the tenth highest peak in the White Mountainsand stands at 4802 feet with360 degree views And if the

wind picks up you can hdown on top of the round

peak by hiding behind so

the blocks left from whhotel sat atop the mountai

As with all of the peaks ptake responsibility for youWinter hiking may be bea

but itrsquos far more dangerouoffers less margin for Hike wisely so that you endanger yourself your h

partners or the people of and rescue who will hacome looking for you

In winter your best piecequipment are the latestcast and a good dose of mon sense (Snowshoeshelp)

Enjoy the trails everyonelook forward to being mountaintop soon enoughselves

NOTICE

Nobody Asked Just My Opinion _______ Another two weeks gone by and another two weeks of strangeweather Hope everyone made it through the ice and freezing okay One thing about New

England you never know what the weather is going to be likethe next day ndash or the next minute for that matter

This time around I want totouch upon a subject that I amcertainly no authority on I amnot sure any of us are but it def-initely affects all of us at onetime or another Whether it be

someone famous a pet a friend or a family member deathaffects us all at one time or another

The reason I bring this up thisweek is due to the fact that likemany of you reading this I livein a very small town Warrenhas just around 900 people in it

Most likely as I do you knowabout 95 of the people wholive within your communities

Yes I do have a reason for bringing this all up

In Warren we lost 20 peoplethis past year Many of themlocal icons in their own right

In the past few weeks alone since Christmas Eve we havecertainly lost our share Therewere more than four just withinthe past few weeks that affected many of the same family mem-bers Two who passed werebrothers Grover and Harold

Libby passed within but a few

days of each other

Another Helen (Ball) Whitcherwho held the Boston Post Caneat 99 years of age

Yet another a friend taken fromus way to early Nelson

Kennedy Jr Built like an ox ahard worker and simply a good

guy Nelson was born in 1959 All their obituaries appear inthis issue of the newspaper

I dont bring death up to bum people out or to be negative inany way I do bring it up howev-er to make us stop and think for a moment How many times dowe say I wish we had said thisto someone or done this with

someone or have been meaning to stop by and say hello But wedont Then itrsquos just too late

Our thoughts are with the fami-ly and friends of these people at the moment As I stated earliermany of the same families wereaffected by the death of all four of the people I mentioned So it has been a tough few weeks for many

If you have someone you havebeen meaning to call write or

stop by to say hello do it as you just never know whentheyll be taken from us Yes lifeis definitely too short

Nobody Asked Just MyOpinion - ~ BEF

Senator Jeff Woodburn (D- Dalton) has a creditabili ty problem When hersquos in his dis-trict he talks a good gameabout bipartisanship but whenhe gets to Concord hersquos just another partisan Democrat attacking Republicans with half truths or outright fabrications

Recently Senator Woodburnwrote an article claiming

Republican legislators had filed a bill for a so-called ldquocanoetaxrdquo Such a bill would requireowners of non-motorized ves-

sels such as canoes kayaks

and row boats to pay a $10 taxwhich would go to support

spending by NH Fish and Game Senator Woodburnbravely took the stance of opposing this bill

The only problem is that therenever was a ldquocanoe taxrdquo bill

though Senator Woodburn isquick to take credit for killing that fictional bill The Senator knew that there was no such bill in existence but decided toignore such a trivial fact

Maybe Senator Woodburnrsquos

fight against imaginaryto distract our attentiothe tax increases he do

port Despite his earlieopposition to a gas tax Woodburn now says heto increase the gas tax

While politicians in Was

feel itrsquos acceptable to false promises (if you lidoctor you can keep yotorhellip) here in New Hamwe expect better

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

- Tom Ryan P

The Adventuresof Tom amp Atticus

While Atticus continues tomount his comeback from lastsummerrsquos amputation and half ayear of chemotherapy treat-ments we have yet to return tothe trails Our return will behere soon enough So instead

of sharing a trip report with youin this issue Irsquom offering a fewsuggestions on places to takeyour new snowshoes for a hike

The other day a friend contact-ed me Hersquos used to goinguphill but his hiking proteacutegeacute isnew to the game and has beenstruggling with the ldquouprdquo part of the hikes lately He asked for asuggestion that would be flatterI sent them up the CoppermineTrail to Bridal Veil Falls andboth of them loved it It sits onthe backside of CannonMountain not too far fromRobert Frostrsquos old home (Thehike is easy enough and shouldnot take all day so take a detour and check it out)

The Coppermine Trail starts at

the end of Coppermine Roadand is on the east side of NH116 about a mile south of theFranconia Airport Its 25 miles

each way with only 1100 feetof elevation gain The trail fol-lows Coppermine Brook mostof the way and looks complete-ly different this time of year than any other The snow andice are something to beholdand thatrsquos even before youmake it all the way to the falls

For a side trip about a quarter of a mile into the hike yoursquollcome to a flat area to the rightof the trail and just below itPeople often camp there duringthe summer In the water on arock you will find a plaque left

by Bette Davis for one of her ex-husbands Arthur Farnsworth which reads ldquoInMemoriam to Arthur

Farnsworth the keeper of strayladies Presented by a GratefulOnerdquo Therersquos much more tothis story and you can find iton-line but it has to do withBette getting lost (perhaps on

purpose) and Arthur findingher

Another mostly flat hike is the Nancy Pond Trail (some say itis haunted by the ghost of

Nancy Barton) It takes you to Nancy Cascades for a round tripof 48 miles All the way to

Nancy Pond and back is 68 or to Norcross Pond its 86 Theview from Norcross Pond upinto the mountains is spectacu-lar on a good day During thisseason of frozen (or mostlyfrozen) waterfalls NancyCascades is a special treat The

trailhead is located south of Crawford Notch on Route 302

For a hike with a view of val-leys down below and moun-tains above the hike to the topof Mount Pemigewasset via theMount Pemigewasset Trailfrom the Flume parking lot and

bike path is a great bang for your buck hike Itrsquos 18 miles tothe mountaintop with 1250 feetof elevation gain Once on topyou will come to a great openshelf of rock thatrsquos fine for sun-ning yourself even on the cold-est of days From there youlook down on the valley to thesouth and out and some distant

peaks But donrsquot stop thereTherersquos a trail to the left that

brings you to the eastern side of the mountain with dramaticviews up to Franconia Ridge

For a steeper climb to the same peak you can take the IndianHead Trail It begins further south along US 3 about a quar-ter of a mile south of the IndianHead Resort The parking areawhich is on the left when com-ing south may be plowed out if you are lucky This is a 19 milehike to the summit with 1550feet of elevation gain

Better yet if you have the abil-ity to do a car spot you can doa traverse of both trails

Whenever we are in theFranconia Notch area for ahike a must stop by for us isHalf Baked amp Fully Brewed onthe Kancamagus Highway

They offer great sandwiches baked goods and coffee

Atticus and I have shared manyof their sandwiches atop amountain and now that Irsquom

vegan they still have offeringsthat are mouthwatering I canenjoy

And lastly if you are into a seri-ous climb are well-equippedand have carefully monitoredthe higher summits forecastour favorite route to the top of Mount Moosilauke in winter isthe Glenncliff Trail It is a 39mile hike to the summit with3300 feet of elevation gain Ona windier day we prefer theGorge Brook Trail since it hasless exposure but on a fair dayin winter the approach to thesummit is just stunning

Moosilauke is the tenth highest peak in the White Mountainsand stands at 4802 feet with360 degree views And if the

wind picks up you can hdown on top of the round

peak by hiding behind so

the blocks left from whhotel sat atop the mountai

As with all of the peaks ptake responsibility for youWinter hiking may be bea

but itrsquos far more dangerouoffers less margin for Hike wisely so that you endanger yourself your h

partners or the people of and rescue who will hacome looking for you

In winter your best piecequipment are the latestcast and a good dose of mon sense (Snowshoeshelp)

Enjoy the trails everyonelook forward to being mountaintop soon enoughselves

NOTICE

Nobody Asked Just My Opinion _______ Another two weeks gone by and another two weeks of strangeweather Hope everyone made it through the ice and freezing okay One thing about New

England you never know what the weather is going to be likethe next day ndash or the next minute for that matter

This time around I want totouch upon a subject that I amcertainly no authority on I amnot sure any of us are but it def-initely affects all of us at onetime or another Whether it be

someone famous a pet a friend or a family member deathaffects us all at one time or another

The reason I bring this up thisweek is due to the fact that likemany of you reading this I livein a very small town Warrenhas just around 900 people in it

Most likely as I do you knowabout 95 of the people wholive within your communities

Yes I do have a reason for bringing this all up

In Warren we lost 20 peoplethis past year Many of themlocal icons in their own right

In the past few weeks alone since Christmas Eve we havecertainly lost our share Therewere more than four just withinthe past few weeks that affected many of the same family mem-bers Two who passed werebrothers Grover and Harold

Libby passed within but a few

days of each other

Another Helen (Ball) Whitcherwho held the Boston Post Caneat 99 years of age

Yet another a friend taken fromus way to early Nelson

Kennedy Jr Built like an ox ahard worker and simply a good

guy Nelson was born in 1959 All their obituaries appear inthis issue of the newspaper

I dont bring death up to bum people out or to be negative inany way I do bring it up howev-er to make us stop and think for a moment How many times dowe say I wish we had said thisto someone or done this with

someone or have been meaning to stop by and say hello But wedont Then itrsquos just too late

Our thoughts are with the fami-ly and friends of these people at the moment As I stated earliermany of the same families wereaffected by the death of all four of the people I mentioned So it has been a tough few weeks for many

If you have someone you havebeen meaning to call write or

stop by to say hello do it as you just never know whentheyll be taken from us Yes lifeis definitely too short

Nobody Asked Just MyOpinion - ~ BEF

Senator Jeff Woodburn (D- Dalton) has a creditabili ty problem When hersquos in his dis-trict he talks a good gameabout bipartisanship but whenhe gets to Concord hersquos just another partisan Democrat attacking Republicans with half truths or outright fabrications

Recently Senator Woodburnwrote an article claiming

Republican legislators had filed a bill for a so-called ldquocanoetaxrdquo Such a bill would requireowners of non-motorized ves-

sels such as canoes kayaks

and row boats to pay a $10 taxwhich would go to support

spending by NH Fish and Game Senator Woodburnbravely took the stance of opposing this bill

The only problem is that therenever was a ldquocanoe taxrdquo bill

though Senator Woodburn isquick to take credit for killing that fictional bill The Senator knew that there was no such bill in existence but decided toignore such a trivial fact

Maybe Senator Woodburnrsquos

fight against imaginaryto distract our attentiothe tax increases he do

port Despite his earlieopposition to a gas tax Woodburn now says heto increase the gas tax

While politicians in Was

feel itrsquos acceptable to false promises (if you lidoctor you can keep yotorhellip) here in New Hamwe expect better

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

NOTICE

Nobody Asked Just My Opinion _______ Another two weeks gone by and another two weeks of strangeweather Hope everyone made it through the ice and freezing okay One thing about New

England you never know what the weather is going to be likethe next day ndash or the next minute for that matter

This time around I want totouch upon a subject that I amcertainly no authority on I amnot sure any of us are but it def-initely affects all of us at onetime or another Whether it be

someone famous a pet a friend or a family member deathaffects us all at one time or another

The reason I bring this up thisweek is due to the fact that likemany of you reading this I livein a very small town Warrenhas just around 900 people in it

Most likely as I do you knowabout 95 of the people wholive within your communities

Yes I do have a reason for bringing this all up

In Warren we lost 20 peoplethis past year Many of themlocal icons in their own right

In the past few weeks alone since Christmas Eve we havecertainly lost our share Therewere more than four just withinthe past few weeks that affected many of the same family mem-bers Two who passed werebrothers Grover and Harold

Libby passed within but a few

days of each other

Another Helen (Ball) Whitcherwho held the Boston Post Caneat 99 years of age

Yet another a friend taken fromus way to early Nelson

Kennedy Jr Built like an ox ahard worker and simply a good

guy Nelson was born in 1959 All their obituaries appear inthis issue of the newspaper

I dont bring death up to bum people out or to be negative inany way I do bring it up howev-er to make us stop and think for a moment How many times dowe say I wish we had said thisto someone or done this with

someone or have been meaning to stop by and say hello But wedont Then itrsquos just too late

Our thoughts are with the fami-ly and friends of these people at the moment As I stated earliermany of the same families wereaffected by the death of all four of the people I mentioned So it has been a tough few weeks for many

If you have someone you havebeen meaning to call write or

stop by to say hello do it as you just never know whentheyll be taken from us Yes lifeis definitely too short

Nobody Asked Just MyOpinion - ~ BEF

Senator Jeff Woodburn (D- Dalton) has a creditabili ty problem When hersquos in his dis-trict he talks a good gameabout bipartisanship but whenhe gets to Concord hersquos just another partisan Democrat attacking Republicans with half truths or outright fabrications

Recently Senator Woodburnwrote an article claiming

Republican legislators had filed a bill for a so-called ldquocanoetaxrdquo Such a bill would requireowners of non-motorized ves-

sels such as canoes kayaks

and row boats to pay a $10 taxwhich would go to support

spending by NH Fish and Game Senator Woodburnbravely took the stance of opposing this bill

The only problem is that therenever was a ldquocanoe taxrdquo bill

though Senator Woodburn isquick to take credit for killing that fictional bill The Senator knew that there was no such bill in existence but decided toignore such a trivial fact

Maybe Senator Woodburnrsquos

fight against imaginaryto distract our attentiothe tax increases he do

port Despite his earlieopposition to a gas tax Woodburn now says heto increase the gas tax

While politicians in Was

feel itrsquos acceptable to false promises (if you lidoctor you can keep yotorhellip) here in New Hamwe expect better

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

NOTICE

Nobody Asked Just My Opinion _______ Another two weeks gone by and another two weeks of strangeweather Hope everyone made it through the ice and freezing okay One thing about New

England you never know what the weather is going to be likethe next day ndash or the next minute for that matter

This time around I want totouch upon a subject that I amcertainly no authority on I amnot sure any of us are but it def-initely affects all of us at onetime or another Whether it be

someone famous a pet a friend or a family member deathaffects us all at one time or another

The reason I bring this up thisweek is due to the fact that likemany of you reading this I livein a very small town Warrenhas just around 900 people in it

Most likely as I do you knowabout 95 of the people wholive within your communities

Yes I do have a reason for bringing this all up

In Warren we lost 20 peoplethis past year Many of themlocal icons in their own right

In the past few weeks alone since Christmas Eve we havecertainly lost our share Therewere more than four just withinthe past few weeks that affected many of the same family mem-bers Two who passed werebrothers Grover and Harold

Libby passed within but a few

days of each other

Another Helen (Ball) Whitcherwho held the Boston Post Caneat 99 years of age

Yet another a friend taken fromus way to early Nelson

Kennedy Jr Built like an ox ahard worker and simply a good

guy Nelson was born in 1959 All their obituaries appear inthis issue of the newspaper

I dont bring death up to bum people out or to be negative inany way I do bring it up howev-er to make us stop and think for a moment How many times dowe say I wish we had said thisto someone or done this with

someone or have been meaning to stop by and say hello But wedont Then itrsquos just too late

Our thoughts are with the fami-ly and friends of these people at the moment As I stated earliermany of the same families wereaffected by the death of all four of the people I mentioned So it has been a tough few weeks for many

If you have someone you havebeen meaning to call write or

stop by to say hello do it as you just never know whentheyll be taken from us Yes lifeis definitely too short

Nobody Asked Just MyOpinion - ~ BEF

Senator Jeff Woodburn (D- Dalton) has a creditabili ty problem When hersquos in his dis-trict he talks a good gameabout bipartisanship but whenhe gets to Concord hersquos just another partisan Democrat attacking Republicans with half truths or outright fabrications

Recently Senator Woodburnwrote an article claiming

Republican legislators had filed a bill for a so-called ldquocanoetaxrdquo Such a bill would requireowners of non-motorized ves-

sels such as canoes kayaks

and row boats to pay a $10 taxwhich would go to support

spending by NH Fish and Game Senator Woodburnbravely took the stance of opposing this bill

The only problem is that therenever was a ldquocanoe taxrdquo bill

though Senator Woodburn isquick to take credit for killing that fictional bill The Senator knew that there was no such bill in existence but decided toignore such a trivial fact

Maybe Senator Woodburnrsquos

fight against imaginaryto distract our attentiothe tax increases he do

port Despite his earlieopposition to a gas tax Woodburn now says heto increase the gas tax

While politicians in Was

feel itrsquos acceptable to false promises (if you lidoctor you can keep yotorhellip) here in New Hamwe expect better

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

Nobody Asked Just My Opinion _______ Another two weeks gone by and another two weeks of strangeweather Hope everyone made it through the ice and freezing okay One thing about New

England you never know what the weather is going to be likethe next day ndash or the next minute for that matter

This time around I want totouch upon a subject that I amcertainly no authority on I amnot sure any of us are but it def-initely affects all of us at onetime or another Whether it be

someone famous a pet a friend or a family member deathaffects us all at one time or another

The reason I bring this up thisweek is due to the fact that likemany of you reading this I livein a very small town Warrenhas just around 900 people in it

Most likely as I do you knowabout 95 of the people wholive within your communities

Yes I do have a reason for bringing this all up

In Warren we lost 20 peoplethis past year Many of themlocal icons in their own right

In the past few weeks alone since Christmas Eve we havecertainly lost our share Therewere more than four just withinthe past few weeks that affected many of the same family mem-bers Two who passed werebrothers Grover and Harold

Libby passed within but a few

days of each other

Another Helen (Ball) Whitcherwho held the Boston Post Caneat 99 years of age

Yet another a friend taken fromus way to early Nelson

Kennedy Jr Built like an ox ahard worker and simply a good

guy Nelson was born in 1959 All their obituaries appear inthis issue of the newspaper

I dont bring death up to bum people out or to be negative inany way I do bring it up howev-er to make us stop and think for a moment How many times dowe say I wish we had said thisto someone or done this with

someone or have been meaning to stop by and say hello But wedont Then itrsquos just too late

Our thoughts are with the fami-ly and friends of these people at the moment As I stated earliermany of the same families wereaffected by the death of all four of the people I mentioned So it has been a tough few weeks for many

If you have someone you havebeen meaning to call write or

stop by to say hello do it as you just never know whentheyll be taken from us Yes lifeis definitely too short

Nobody Asked Just MyOpinion - ~ BEF

Senator Jeff Woodburn (D- Dalton) has a creditabili ty problem When hersquos in his dis-trict he talks a good gameabout bipartisanship but whenhe gets to Concord hersquos just another partisan Democrat attacking Republicans with half truths or outright fabrications

Recently Senator Woodburnwrote an article claiming

Republican legislators had filed a bill for a so-called ldquocanoetaxrdquo Such a bill would requireowners of non-motorized ves-

sels such as canoes kayaks

and row boats to pay a $10 taxwhich would go to support

spending by NH Fish and Game Senator Woodburnbravely took the stance of opposing this bill

The only problem is that therenever was a ldquocanoe taxrdquo bill

though Senator Woodburn isquick to take credit for killing that fictional bill The Senator knew that there was no such bill in existence but decided toignore such a trivial fact

Maybe Senator Woodburnrsquos

fight against imaginaryto distract our attentiothe tax increases he do

port Despite his earlieopposition to a gas tax Woodburn now says heto increase the gas tax

While politicians in Was

feel itrsquos acceptable to false promises (if you lidoctor you can keep yotorhellip) here in New Hamwe expect better

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

secure browser and emaoutside XP

For email and Interneta modern deviceYou might have a key appthat must run on Windowcan relate) but it certainemail or Web browsing Iunwilling or unable to ma newer version of Winsuggest you treat yoursholiday season to a newthatrsquos ideal for email anding mdash and relatively samalware (Most of thesedevices donrsquot run on WiConsider for example ping a Kindle Fire AppAndroid-based tablet info) Google Chromebeven a laptop running

Linux (Amazon info)

You might also conWindows RT device Butmind that Windows RTWindows (See the Oct 2Top Story ldquoWin8 vs WRT What to know bef

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

problem of obesity Hopwe will provide supporencouragement to each otour goal to keep each other

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

problem of obesity Hopwe will provide supporencouragement to each otour goal to keep each other

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

problem of obesity Hopwe will provide supporencouragement to each otour goal to keep each other

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

secure browser and emaoutside XP

For email and Interneta modern deviceYou might have a key appthat must run on Windowcan relate) but it certainemail or Web browsing Iunwilling or unable to ma newer version of Winsuggest you treat yoursholiday season to a newthatrsquos ideal for email anding mdash and relatively samalware (Most of thesedevices donrsquot run on WiConsider for example ping a Kindle Fire AppAndroid-based tablet info) Google Chromebeven a laptop running

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

problem of obesity Hopwe will provide supporencouragement to each otour goal to keep each other

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

By Mortar and Pestle

As day turns to dusk turns tonight the flame of our oil lamplights the southwest corner of thecabin Standing at our cook-stove-countertop Irsquom keeping asteady rhythm in the soft lightMarble on marble I use the dark-er hours to pound out flavor thanks to the mortar and pestleThis can be completed as much

by feel as by light all that isneeded is a consistent raise andfall of the pestle As one arm

tires I momentarily break the beat while switching to the oppo-site hand

On this particular evening I putmy manual blender to work cre-ating a dry curry mix cardamomfennel cumin cinnamomcloves black pepper mustardseeds coriander tumeric fenu-greek (just because it was giftedto us) and a pinch of sugarUsing roughly equal parts Igradually turn these seeds and

pods into a powder The smell of spices slowly pervades the air ndash Ryan notes it as these are someof his favorite flavors

Within twenty minutes half of ahalf-pint jar is filled and cappedset atop the highest kitchen shelfI rinse the mortar as well as the

pestle then begin peeling garlicstored from this summerrsquos har-vest Once again the pestle beatsinto the mortar in a steady beatas this time I mash these pungentcloves Another wide-mouth ball

jar is filled with the spicy garlic pieces then mixed with oil saltand dried hot pepper A spicyvariation of aioli is set to rest

beside the curry mix

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

per project ndash it is a remarkablyshort period Yet it can feel longwhen each second is put towards

the manual creation of an good My arm tires or mywearies with the force of thtle While not hard worequires steady effort A attention or energy howonly means that the task longer to complete Timtainly means something difwhen the energy of each mis self-created and directed

In many ways the spice band garlic oil that we make way are a gift to each othercertainly a gift of time ndash

production of anything time and food is no exceThere is something about ing goods by hand for the ement of another it is a gcare and of intention W

comes to these foods the conent pieces comprise a product greater than its pargift of palate pleasure arichly-flavored meals

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

problem of obesity Hopwe will provide supporencouragement to each otour goal to keep each other

SKIING THE ldquoSKY-WAYrdquo

by sky king

All in Favor Say Eye

In the past I have often writtenabout how important it is to beaware of where we are lookingwhen we ski or ride Not only islooking ahead of us down thehill good for our safety and thesafety of others on the hill it

also greatly helps our perform-ance as we take in the entire runahead of us instead of just look-ing from one turn to the nextAlso when we look ahead wetend to stand up a bit taller keeping our chin up whichhelps us to get more forward onour skis or board

But with this information inmind it is also very importantthat we pay attention to how weare treating and protecting our eyes I always feel that sometype of eye protection be worneven if we only wear sunglassesat the very least Traveling atmomentum one never knowswhen the stray piece of ice my

be kicked up or other foreignmatter that could injure our eyes

I for one feel a good set of gog-gles is imperative to skiing or riding Simply protecting your eyes from the wind createdwhen we head down the hill isalways a smart idea and gog-gles provide that protectionBut there are many other factorsto consider and perhaps the ideaof owning more than one pair isa good idea

First off be sure you get a gog-gle that fits your face well andif you wear a helmet as I doyou want to make sure the gog-gles will fit the helmet as wellDifferent brands may fit differ-ent shaped faces We also must

consider the light we are deal-ing with as there are differentlenses that are better for differ-ent light situations A yellowlens may be best for flat lightand help greatly with depth per-ception where a rose tint may

be better for a little lighter timeMany goggles have a change-able lens feature We also wantto have a lens that filters outharmful UVA and UVB raysDid you know you can actuallyget sunburn on your eyesConsider the fact that not onlydo we have the sun glare but

also the reflection off the snowOther factors to consider are

peripheral vision Many newstyles may look cool but do notgive you that important sidevision Recently I have seen anew helmet with the goggles

built in in a sliding shield whichgives the user incredible periph-eral vision

The good news is is that if youdo a little shopping around youmay be able to find two or three

pairs with different lenses at afair price as opposed to oneexpensive pair try on many

pairs before you invest Butoverall lets all just get in thehabit of protecting our eyes

This is part one of a two part series

The date is approaching April 82014 when Microsoft will nolonger support Windows XPHere are some options you mayhave from Susan Bradley of Windows Secrets

All good things must come toan end in less than fourmonths Microsoft will official-ly end support for WindowsXP

Here are the steps Irsquoll take toensure that my remaining XPmachines are as secure as theycan be (Note Many of the fol-lowing tips can be applied tonewer versions of Windowstoo)

What does ldquoend of supportrdquomean After April 8 2014Microsoft will mdash among other things mdash no longer release secu-

rity updates for its 12-year-old

operating system Third-partyhardware and software vendorsmight also take a cue fromRedmond and drop developmentof XP-compatible drivers add-ons and utilities on their new

products

With that in mind all XP usersshould start by asking them-selves ldquoDo I really need to stick with an OS that will becomeincreasingly unsecurerdquo Itrsquos akinto driving an older car thatrsquos notequipped with airbags Sure itrsquollget the job done but at what

potential risk

For business computing movingoff XP might not be an optionSome line-of-business apps willrun only on Windows XP Thesame can be true of some con-sumer products For example Ihave software that lets me cus-tomize my Pronto TV remoteBut the app will run only on XPSo I keep XP on a virtualmachine thatrsquos running under

Windows 7

But those are rare exceptions Byand large therersquos no compellingreason to stick with XP mdash and asnoted above there are importantreasons not to

All that said if you must keep anXP system up and running after April 8 a few changes can helpkeep the system relatively secureAnd those changes start withInternet Explorer

Reduce threats fromXPbrowser vulnerabilities

Browsers have historically beena leading gateway for PC infec-tions and Microsoftrsquos InternetExplorer had one of the worstreputations The latest versionsof IE mdash 10 and 11 mdash are muchmore secure than their predeces-sors but neither runs on XP IE 8was the last version of an MS

browser to run on XP So one of

the first steps for hardeXP system Donrsquot use IEdefault browser (You wiever need to keep it instaupdated)

Switch to Google ChrMozilla Firefox as your connection to the Interneyou use Firefox add in Nto block malicious Another reason to Google Apps doesnrsquot sup8 but the online service in XP-compatible ChroFirefox

Keeping your antivirus sup to date is always im

but even more so with WXP My preferred AV secombination of MSecurity Essentials (siMalwarebytesrsquo Anti-M(site) which plays niceother full-time virus s(As a rule you donrsquot wantwo full-time scannerssame time)

Truth be told Irsquom skepreports claiming thaantivirus product is betanother All AV apps muto rapid changes in mdelivery And I often fincious files on systems th

top-rated antivirus pinstalled Combining comAV scanners is the bestkeep malicious softwarsystem

To complete your anti-mroutine on your XP systemlarly scan XP with a boot

product such as the KaRescue Disk (site) Thatrsquoyour PC is free of hardrootkits

At some point antivirus will stop supporting WXP When that happensing the Internet will no losafe no matter what browuse Herersquos how to mo

secure browser and emaoutside XP

For email and Interneta modern deviceYou might have a key appthat must run on Windowcan relate) but it certainemail or Web browsing Iunwilling or unable to ma newer version of Winsuggest you treat yoursholiday season to a newthatrsquos ideal for email anding mdash and relatively samalware (Most of thesedevices donrsquot run on WiConsider for example ping a Kindle Fire AppAndroid-based tablet info) Google Chromebeven a laptop running

In less than an hour more than aweekrsquos worth of flavors are creat-ed from dried ingredients It isan interesting perception of timeApproximately twenty minutes

Obesity Declassified

Since its discovery in 1957 HighFructose Corn Syrup (HCFS) hasbeen one of the best kept secretsof food and beverage companyproductions with the total sup-port of the USDA Currently

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b

researchers like Robert HLustig a University of Californiaat San Francisco endocrinologistauthor of Fat Chance have begunto declassify the role HCFS playsn our obesity problem

As a child I loved the OrangeSoda we had on holiday familypicnics and the batch of HiresRoot Beer my mother brewed upeach summer Then in the earlysixties the flavor changed sodatasted like chemicals and was noattraction for me beyond the RootBeer floats we flavored with ascoop of vanilla ice cream Iknew that chemical sweetenershad been added in increasedamounts over the years but onlyrecently looked at the big pictureHerersquos what I learned

High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) the darling of Big Agcorn growers receives govern-ment subsidies that keep its pricecheap and make a tidy profitfrom its monopoly paid for withour tax dollars But thatrsquos onlyhalf of the story HFCS as asweetener is much more potentthan natural cane sugar which isnot subsidized and thereforemore expensive and we pay thefull price for natural sugar

In 1915 drinking a 65 oz sodabottle daily would cause an 8 lbwt gainyear Todayrsquos 20 ozplastic bottle daily will cause a26 lb weight gainyear Thendustry went from bottles to

cans in 1960 and currently alsosells in big thirst buster 44 ozcups and big 422 oz plastic bot-tles

In tandem with the increase in thesize of soft drink containers foodand beverage companies distract-ed us with the fat-free propagan-da Fat was claimed to be the cul-prit causing obesity Yet we needfat for energy and healthy nervefunctioning We need fat to trans-port vitamins A D E and K toprotect and surround organs likethe heart and liver to prolongdigestion for longer-lasting sati-ety and more All this was disre-garded as people were encour-aged to go on a low-fat blitz Itdidnrsquot matter that there wasnrsquot afat problem before HFCS wasntroduced The public was suc-

cessfully blindfolded from thereal culprit

The tragedy is that the food andagriculture corporations knewexactly what they were doingwhat was causing obesity to goviral They spent years suppress-ng research and funding only

research that supported their claim that fat was the problemSince educational institutions arechallenged to come up withresearch grants having a reviewstring attached to any corporatefunds meant research to the con-

trary never saw print

So how about the rest of thestory how does HFCS make peo-

ple fat First we have to under-stand how our intestines connectwith the liver and the rest of our

body If you could stretch out

your intestines theyrsquod look likethe border trim of one bigumbrella The fabric connectingit all together would be themesenteric membrane with veinsin place of the spokes and a bigvein that goes to the liver in placeof the handle Anything we eathas to be broken down to a slurryfine enough to be absorbedthrough the wall of the intestineand into the small veins that fun-nel into the big vein to the liver

The liver then decides what to dowith what we eat If we take inmore sugar than the body needsfor the energy our bodies need tofunction the liver cannot storeextra sugar It converts it to fattyacids that are then sent out to bestored in all the familiar places

When we eat whole foods thesugar in them shares space withnutrients and fiber that slowsdown transit time to the liver

because the food must bechewed then ground up in thestomach before it turns into aslurry and moves on into theintestines Even in the intestinesfood relies on a squirt of bilefrom the gall bladder and squirtsof insulin and enzymes from the

pancreas to blend it up before itmoves through the mesentary tothe main line to the liver

However when we drink soda itmoves through the digestivetrack like a luge Therersquos nogradual absorption Every swig is

a big hit for the liver to deal withright now Too much soda rightnow means more fat stored rightnow Pregnant women pass theHFCS to their developing fetusesand any offspring they nurse TheWIC (Women Infants andChildren) nutritional program

provided HFCS laced formulafor babies that caused babies to

be obese at 6 mos of age

Significantly the FDA givesfructose a GRAS (GenerallyRated as Safe) status The FDAdoes not regard fructose as anacute toxin It is classed as achronic toxin Translated thatmeans it only leads to chronicdiseases doesnrsquot kill you rightoff

Lustig uses 4 interventions withhis clients who happen to be

obese children1 Get rid of all sugaredliquid Drink only water andmilk2 Eat carbohydrates withfiber- include plenty of raw veg-gies3 Wait 20 min for second

portions4 Buy your screen timeminute for minute with physicalactivity time

The first step in dealing with any

problem is to know whacause is Whether we are obnot we are all affected b
