How to Run Your First 5K
No goal is insurmountable when you start slow. Follow this guide and training plan for running your first 5K, or use it as a launch pad towards your fitness goals. 
Pick your own style of camping
These days, camping isn't just pitching a tent in the wilderness on a long hike, or stopping at a campground far from home on a road trip.

Add This To Your Outdoor Equipment Gear ? Your Life Could Depend On It!
In light of all the disasters that occur in the back country every year, one has to wonder why people don?t take precautions by adding a beacon to their outdoor equipment gear. Don?t let your outdoors fun end in tragedy! This simple device, for instance, is a great help in locating those unfortunate trekkers who have been buried by large avalanches or who are incapacitated in other ways, like finding themselves in personal danger in whiteouts or other horrendous weather conditions. It is called the ACR Microfix 406 GPS Personal Locator Beacon and it is instrumental in quickly alerting search and rescue teams to your location via GPS if you are seriously injured. The Microfix GPS transmits your coordinates within 100 meters radius, via the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system, with your registered, unique, digitally coded distress signal, which allows the authorities to identify you by name. It sends two types of signals, a digital (new standard) and an analog signal that is recognized by satellites and aircraft with the SAR Homing Frequency signal. It floats and its battery capacity is for 24 hours continuous use in -20c and 8 hours in -40c. The life span of the battery is 5 years and the whole unit can be stored with no adverse effects for 11 years. It transmits under water and is operational for 10 minutes submersed in 10 meters of water and 1 hour submersed in 5 meters of water. It only weighs 283 g (10 ounces) so it?s no hardship to slip it into your hiking gear backpack. It comes complete with a holster and lanyard, which can be removed for mounting it on a backpack, a belt or a life vest. This little item could save your life. Don?t you think you?re worth it?

Printer guzzling ink? It's not just your imagination
If you feel like you're constantly replacing the ink in your printer, you're not the only one. Hewlett-Packard recently settled a class-action lawsuit accusing it of selling ink-drinking printers for the past decade.
The settlement actually covers three separate lawsuits. One claimed that some HP printers use color ink to print black-and-white pages, without telling users or allowing them to change the setting. Another alleged that the printers gave false "low on ink" readings (so users would replace cartridges sooner), and another claimed that some HP ink cartridges simply quit working on secret expiration dates.

Ducks: On the Wing of the Storm
The ducks came from high in the sky, riding the winds, pushed on the front leading edge. Streaming in from the prairie provinces, and a few from the high arctic, the birds came down upon Superior and into the St. Marys. Here they stopped, some at least, and rested.

Looking For A Spacious Tall Tent? Here It Is!
Before we know it, spring will be here again. I am already feeling the urge to go camping welling up in me. It?s time to start bringing out my old hiking camping gear. But...yikes?my tent has a rip in it! It also stinks after a winter in a damp storage locker. I guess it?s time to look for a new tent! This time, however I?ve made a wish list. It has to be easy to erect and be a tall tent with tons of space. Tall and spacious enough to comfortably stand and walk around in. Happily, I?ve found the ultimate answer to all my wishes! It?s the Eureka Copper Canyon 1312 Tent. This large family tent is the perfect solution to cramped spaces. You know how horrible it is when your outdoor equipment gear is piled up in the entrances and all that sand and dirt gets hauled in all over your nice clean sleeping bags as you?re scrambling over the gear because there?s no floor space and there?s no room to stand up in? Thank heavens those days will soon be over! This cabin style tent has a floor area of 156 square feet (bigger than some of the rooms in my house!) and the center height is 7? 3?. It?s an 8 man, 9-pole cabin style tent that comes with a detachable awning that shades the tent front area for a space that is 8.5? x 5?. It also has a removable divider curtain that creates two rooms if you want some privacy. There are 2 big D-style side doors that offer a seperate entrance into each room. And, not only that, this tent has 6 windows, 8 storage pockets and a camping gear loft. Wow, I can hardly wait! Move along Old Man Winter ? Lady Spring is fast approaching. The Eureka Copper Canyon 1312 Tent is here and all is right with the world! Come and see for yourself this fabulous, spacious tall tent.

Toasted Almond Sables
When I go to flea markets or stop by a neighborhood garage sale, I always find myself rummaging through weathered cardboard boxes looking for cookie cutters. Vintage ones, distinctive ones. You might imagine I have drawers full of them, but that's not actually true. I have two small shoe-box sized containers of cookie cutters. That's it. It doesn't actually feel like a lot to some who loves to roll and stamp cookies as much as I do, but the good ones are hard to come by. Beyond shape, I have a fondness for metal cutters with sharp edges, and good structure. Shapes that can cut cleanly through a currant or dried cranberry if need be. Today, I thought I'd show you a few of my scores, and share a favorite cookie-cutter friendly recipe as well.
So, I love my Swedish heart cookie cutter. It's roughly the size of my palm and is perfectly symmetric. Here's the thing. Hearts are a popular shape for cookie cutters, yet each heart is an individual. Some plunge deep, some curve shallow and soft, some are wide and squat, some are tall and elongated...each one says something different with its shape. There are friendly hearts, serious hearts, sophisticated hearts. It's a personal preference, but I tend to like the hearts that are just about as wide as they are tall. Symmetrical, direct, with clean lines.
Then there are the wild card cookie cutters that I can't pass up. Like this farmhouse collection. The shapes get a bit mushy over the years, but the primitive lines are charming and the patina on the cutters beautiful. The pig has apparently escaped - note to self to find him.
I've been making tiny shortbread in the shapes of small hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs since I was a kid, and tend to prefer tiny cutters for butter-rich cookies. They're the type of cookies where a couple make the perfect accompaniment to an afternoon coffee or tea. Today's cookies qualify, and I picked the teardrop shape.
These toasted almond sable cookies are a take-off on Alice Medrich's charming Whole Wheat Sables, published in Pure Dessert a few years back. I love them, and make them a number of different ways depending on what I have on hand. This variation is hard to beat - toasty, nutty, peppered with dried currants. They're made with whole wheat and all-purpose flours, sliced almonds, and the best butter you can come by. That said, I made another variation with June Taylor's candied citrus peels for the Little Flower School class a couple weeks back - swapping finely chopped peel for the currants you'll see in the recipe below. The peel left lovely little slashes of color throughout the cookies, and bursts of citrus flavor. I really loved those too.
For those of you who've made it this far. I made a note to myself for next time. I'm excited to try this recipe using Dorie's trick of using cultured butter - for a hint of tang. It might be the thing to put these right over the top.

Google's Chromebook: Great idea or head in the clouds?
The Internet has been buzzing with word that Google's promised Chrome-based netbook will become real next month. Dubbed the Chromebook, models will range from a $349 Wi-Fi only version from Acer to a $499 3G version with 100 MB of free data per month (for only two years, however) from Samsung. Schools ($20 to $23 per month) and businesses ($28 to $33 per month) will also have the option of leasing instead of buying Chrombooks. We'll have a full report on the Chromebook and its alternatives when we next update our report on netbooks. (Look for that at the end of next month, after the Chromebook officially hits the streets -- and the reviewers' desks.) In the meantime, here's what we know.
