Thunderstorms not only produce rain and some occasional hail, but also strong winds. We experienced that a week ago last Friday, June 15th. The winds from a few of the stronger storms quickly mixed in some dust and sand and also contributed to some destruction. These storms have what we call strong outflow. This occurs when thunderstorms begin to weaken and even collapse causing the wind to rush down to the ground and spread out in all directions. I noticed that we had wind gusts over 50 mph in many locations of El Paso and Otero counties. The El Paso Airport recorded 67 mph while southern New Mexico, at McGregor Range, reached 82 mph. Various power outages were recorded and even some structural damage on the east side. El Paso resident Deby Lewis sent me a picture of her tree being blown down right on top of her rock wall collapsing the stone structure.

Anytime we get some of these storms, there is always that risk of very strong winds in and around the cells. It can be hard to predict how strong the winds will get but anytime there is a severe thunderstorm warning, the potential of wind gusts 58 mph or more is possible. As we now move into our annual Monsoon season, we always have to be prepared for these storms and the destructive potential they bring.

Q: We are charmed by our "new" home it's Georgian-Revival, built in l920-something. But we are a little flummoxed by its traditional architecture, especially the archtopped windows on the sun porch. There are four of them beautiful but we live on a busy street and need some kind of curtain or other covering. How should we deal with the arches? A: More easily than you might think. Many window hardware manufacturers offer curved curtain rods; you can also order rods custom-made to exactly fit your particular arch. There's also the design school of thought that curtains lower the window and leaves the top arches bare letting in the light but not the eyes of passersby. You could also opt for the attractive solution used by designer Phoebe Howard - aka "Mrs. Howard" author of an excellent new book, " The Joy of Decorating," (from which we borrowed this photo). She simply ignored the arches, installing curtain rods high on the wall above them. The curtains pile up in the corners by day, letting in the lovely light; by night, they pull completely over the windows, arches and all, to insure privacy for those who dwell within. Can't you imagine how this room would pique outsiders' curiosity, with its eccentric collection of accessories, including a twig chandelier and vintage stage light!

It's no surprise that it's a tough job market for recent college grads, but it can be a surprise to find out that how you dress for an interview can make the difference between being hired or not. "Now, more than ever, college graduates seeking good jobs need more than a stellar resume," says Kyle Alexandra Moreland, founder of Kyle Alexandra, a Massachusettsbased wardrobe and styling company and author of the new guide: "Inspiring Confidence for the New College Grad." "Top-quality organizations want to hire employees who know how to dress for the workplace. In this highly competitive marketplace, a graduate from a prestigious university, with excellent grades and a compelling personality, who is unaware of correct interview attire and protocol, might never have the opportunity to exhibit those talents and skills. Life is not a dress rehearsal and young working professionals need knowledge and guidance to learn what is appropriate and inappropriate for the interview and the workplace." Here are some of Moreland's style tips for guys and gals on how to dress professionally:
pieces jacket, skirt and pants. When it comes to accessories, minimal is best a single strand of pearls is classic and always in style. A classic pair of black pumps is an absolute essential for female professionals: Invest in the best you can afford. Pumps should never be more than 2 and onehalf inches for an interview or any other work related event.

For the guys, Moreland suggests never showing up to an interview wearing nonmatching suit pieces. She advises wearing a navy suit with brown wingtip shoes and choosing a tie that is classic, such as one with stripes. Grey and pinstriped suits are other good alternatives worn with black oxfords. When you want to put some personality in your office attire, try combining uniquely patterned shirts and colorful ties. And always carry a black leather briefcase or portfolio for resumes, notebooks and umbrellas. If you want to add some visual interest,

"Be sure to wear the most flattering style for your body type," she says, because "even if certain jeans are trendy, they might not be the most flattering. Boot-cut jeans are universally flattering on all body types." And she cautions: "Never wear jeans that are ripped or feature overly decorative back pockets."

For the guys, casual Fridays at the office can also be a time to show off jeans. She suggests choosing dark wash, straight-leg denim jeans that are not too tight, not too short or too loose paired with a plaid button-down sport shirt.

Summertime is the perfect time to take a healing walk in the deep woods. A healing walk? Are
we talking mushrooms and a very particular leafy green? Nope. It's a concept called forest bathing shinrin-yoku, translated from the Japanese. While I can't report it's all the rage in cities and towns across disgruntled America, it should be. Forest bathing is a natural therapy for reducing stress. So are rice chips and margaritas for many of us, but with forest bathing comes the extra special bonus feature of boosting your body's own ability to fight disease and resist infection. Yes, you heard me: There is a growing mound of medical re-
search supporting the ancient and traditional understanding that spending quiet time in the deep woods has healing power. Take it in and soak it up, and, over time, forest bathing will produce positive and quantifiable physiological changes. And besides all that, it just feels so good. Walking through a dense forest. Noticing an ant. Watching a river meander and pool. People have been going into nature to heal since time pretended to begin. Now we're a few steps closer to understanding why. I was just leafing through my tattered copy of the Journal of Biological Regulators and Homeostatic Agents the other day, and there it was, another study showing that forest walkers have: lower concentrations of the stress hormone cortisol; lower blood pressure and heart
stress reduction, forest bathing experts recommend a two- to four-hour soak in nature, moving at a leisurely pace of two hours to cover about 1.5 miles, or 3 miles over four hours. To protect against cancers, says Qing Li, head researcher, he recommends you regularly spend three days and two nights in a forested area. And how does forest bathing help boost your own healing power? The best theory so far, according to scientists at Japan's Nippon Medical School and Chiba University, is this: Trees and plants produce organic compounds called phytocides to help protect them from disease, insects and fungus. These compounds escape into the air you breathe when you move through a forest slowly, quietly, with an open heart and working lungs. And phytocides, it turns out, also
help human's turn on their own disease-fighting NK naturalborn killer cells. All this comes from a well-researched article by Maggie Spilner, author of "Prevention's Complete Book of Walking," who reports that the health benefits of forest bathing has been studied by medical researchers and forest organizations since 1984. There are over 30 officially designated forest therapy centers in Japan, "where people enjoy the trails and guided walks and receive free medical check-ups under the trees." Can we get the Affordable Care Act to cover this? "The resulting increase in NK cells lasted for 30 days," Spilner reports, "(The researchers) concluded that a monthly walk in the woods could help people maintain a ..Continues on page 11
rate; a reduced level of two more stress-related hormones, adrenaline and noradrenalin; and drum roll, please an increase in natural killer (NK) cells, helpful in your body's

Can you imagine wanting to pay outrageous amounts of interest? Do you ever see yourself gladly making monthly payments to a greedy finance company? Would you like to love a loan shark? Impossible? No, it's not. All you have to do is become your own banker. You'll be borrowing from yourself, making payments to yourself and collecting high rates of interest all from you, for you. The original idea of the credit union was to get the little person out of the clutches of the big money institutions. Being your own banker simplifies the credit union strategy to just one person: you. And when you're wearing the loan officer hat, the borrowing and repayment benefit only you. What a savings program! So, how does it work, you ask? First, open a special savings account. Don't get this confused with your Contingency Fund or investment programs. You already should be saving consistently for the future in those ain't-nobodyever-going-to-touch-it kinds of accounts. This is a special savings account that you will manage differently. You can start your new account with anything, but you should feed it with a weekly contribution for a while. If you can put in $20 a week for 12 months, you'll have about $1,000 after a year. Now, let's say you need to borrow $600. A typical finance company would charge a whopping 21 percent interest, or $126, to borrow that amount. They'd "let" you pay it back at the rate of about $30 a month for two years, for a total payback amount of $726.
You can make it easier on yourself. If you charge 18 percent interest on your loan ($600 times 18 percent equals $108) and divide it into 12 equal payments of $59 your loan will be paid off in just one year, "costing" a total of $708. Suddenly, the greedy finance company is you. If you keep up your weekly deposits of $20 while you pay back your loan, you'll have something like $2,150 in the bank at the end of the second year (the $400 balance in the account, the $708 you paid back, plus the $1,040 you deposit in year two). After you've paid back the first loan, perhaps you'll want to borrow $1,000. The greedy finance company would charge about $255 to do that. If you charge yourself $180 and make monthly payments of $50 for two years (or $100 a month for one year), you'll wind up with well over $3,000 in your account. As the borrower, treat yourself the same way that the finance company would. Demand timely payments. Unless you're terribly hard on yourself, it's not going to work. You'll default. And just imagine how that will work on your psyche. But if it does work, you'll be living the life of a banker buying things you want and piling up the dough. What a way to save!

Your Horoscope
Since Uranus was discovered in 1781 and Pluto was discovered in 1930, 231 years ago, a square of Uranus and Pluto would not have been cause for wide-eyed anticipation. But these days, momentous alignments such as this week's peak of the Uranus/Pluto square bring awareness to the milestones of our evolution. Being alive on the planet right now, you're part of one of the more remarkable periods of human history. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to fuel your dreams so long as you know what they really are. What scares you are the unquantifiable and unknown factors. Do your research. People who have traveled a path very much like yours can answer questions that could help you assess your risk. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The law of karma dictates that you claim your actions, or your actions will claim you. So many of the actions that result in your living the way you currently do happen automatically. This week will bring awareness to some of your auto-piloting, and you will see a way to make adjustments to support your well-being. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll be cooking something up this week not food, but a tasty bit of life. You'll follow the recipe and be surprised at the outcome, which will look nothing like the picture in the book. Don't fret, though. It is still delicious, and you can always hone your methods later. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Gossip seemingly connects the gossipers and distances them from the one being gossiped about. But in reality, it distances everyone because it erodes trust. A person who talks behind another person's back could do the same to anyone. This is the week to steer clear of gossip in every form. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While there's something to be said for self-guided tours and self-paced study, you've had enough of that sort of thing lately. Getting with the program means joining a group. You do enough on your own. There's no reason you should do everything that way. Make a plan, and find someone to keep you accountable to it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People always say "be yourself" as if that were the easiest, most natural thing to do. For deeply thinking types, those two words could be pondered for a lifetime. But if you simply get into action, doing what you're naturally inclined to do, you'll fulfill the directive. In other words, don't over-think it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Here's a money-saving tip: Decide what you
By Holiday Mathis
want before you're in the marketplace. The only trouble is, sometimes you don't know what you want until you've shopped around. The answer is to go shopping first with the firm resolve not to buy a thing. Leave the money at home, and open your eyes to what's out there. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Problems are like bullies on the playground. If you let them push you around, they will especially when the teacher is not around. Your dreams are like supervisors who keep everything on track. Be led by your dreams, and your problems won't get the chance to advance on you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are not so far off from accepting yourself entirely. If you can consciously do this even for a few minutes each day, your confidence will transform your experience of your life. At the end of the week, you'll look back and say unequivocally that you are proud of yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). One of the world's longest surviving cultures, Australian Aboriginal culture, calls their spiritual and natural existence "Dreamtime." You will relate to the concept this week, as your life seems to float forward and backward in time, taking surprising and colorful, if illogical, turns.

If you do decide to head into the deep woods, know that there is a dark side. As your most personal trainer, I must warn you that while forest bathing showers you with vitality, it can also drown you in sorrow. I'm talking ticks. This season, these tiny blood-sucking arachnids are thicker than ever, and the risk of Lyme disease is scary high. So please, self-protect: Cover your skin in light-colored, comfortable clothing long pants, long-sleeved shirts, socks tucked into your boots, shirt tucked into your pants. Wear a hat. Check your body carefully for ticks when you come in. If you see one, remove it mindfully. Investigate natural repellents: eucalyptus oil, bay leaves and Neem oil. If you have any suspicious symptoms (e.g. the dreaded bull'seye, aching joints, fatigue), see a Lyme-experienced doctor for advice and testing. ENERGY EXPRESS-O!

Graduated repayment:
This plan starts with lower payments that rise every two years over the 10-year life of the loan. If you have more than $30,000 in loans, you can stretch out the graduated payments over 25 years. If you start earning more, you can adjust your payment plan annually. Again, you'll pay more interest over the years by stretching out your payments.

Deferment or forbearance: These are the two oldest programs for dealing with a situation in which you absolutely cannot repay your loans after graduation. They postpone but do not eliminate your obligation and the interest continues to grow. Even for college graduates, these choices can be overwhelming. And they have longterm consequences, so it's worthwhile to get it right. There are some good resources for help in setting up your repayment plan. The NSLDS website offers "Loan Exit" counseling online. Or you can go to Studentaid.ed.gov or call them at 800-433-3243. And to see the impact of these plans on your monthly payments and total outlay, go to PayBackSmarter.com. Start the process now, well before the sixmonth postgraduation grace period ends. Remember that if you have a windfall a signing bonus for that new job or an unexpected raise along the way you can always make extra payments and pay off your loan early,
Standard repayment:
The standard repayment program is a 10-year plan that will cost you the least in the long run. You'll pay the current repayment rate, less a quarter point discount for automatic payments.
There are several helpful alternatives that will postpone the repayment process until you have the money to do it albeit the interest will keep building. The first step in repaying your student loans is figuring out what you owe and to whom. If you have various student loans, you might want to consolidate them to make repayment easier. That will lift your rate about one-eighth of one percent but save a lot of annoyance in making multiple payments. And if you set up an automatic repayment plan, deducting monthly payments from your bank account, you can save a quarter of a point in interest. Just make sure you don't consolidate an older loan with a lower lifetime rate into the consolidation loan.
Extended repayment:
One way to make the monthly bill a bit easier on your wallet is to extend

Curing your slice starts with a takeaway in which your hands follow your toe line and stay inside the clubhead. Its counterintuitive: The inside-to-out swing path feels as if youll hit it way right, but have patience. Soon it will go down the middle.

One of the teaching specifications of primary imporprofessional in Port St. tance is lie angle, defined as the Lucie, Fla. angle formed by the center line of Visit his the shaft with the ground when Web site at tjtomasi.com. the club is soled directly over the face line. Lie angle is created as the club sits unmoving on the ground, but the angle changes as the golf club is swung because the shaft flexes during the swing. It bows down so that the toe of the club flattens or gets closer to the ground. This is the dynamic aspect of lie, and it is the reason irons are fitted with the toe slightly up in the air. The important point here is that you may have a static lie angle that appears to fit you, but as soon as the club starts in motion, the lie angle becomes a function of how fast you can swing, how strong you are and what your hand action is. A lie angle that is too upright at impact will cause your ball to go to the left of target. If its too flat (toe down), your ball will go to the right of the target. And most likely, because you are unaware of the mis-fit, youll tinker with your swing. There is only one way to tell how your individual characteristics will affect the static specification, and that is to measure it in actual motion. To do this you need a lie angle board, which will show you what happens to your lie angle through impact. This is part of a good fitting process. Takeaway: In order to have a proper clubface at impact, you must have the correct lie angle at address. Thats what fitting is all about.

I dont know what it means for him personally on it to get that win, but I know that even if he acts like it isnt, it was probably a burden having all your fans talking about you and writing stuff about you not winning, he said, adding that
the way Earnhardts been running this year, the win was only a matter of time. That 88 [Earnhardts team] has had a ton of speed and hasnt always got the finishes, but they have been battling in the top five each week. You could just see they kept knocking on the door, and [Sunday] they were able to kick it down and dominated the race pretty good. And Kenseth said he wouldnt dispute the notion that Earnhardt, who was a fellow Cup rookie with him back in 2000, is a threat to win the title. I think they are definitely a contender, he said. They have been in the mix each race no matter what size or shape of race track. I think they are, at this point in the season, one of the favorites. Tony Stewart, runner-up at Michigan, didnt appear to be in the mood to talk about the big day for the Junior Nation when he made his stop in the media room after the race. Its not a national holiday, guys, Stewart said of Earnhardts win, even though it did come on Fathers Day. This morning, they were celebrating ..Continues on next page

sant, he said. I feel like its just a realistic inquiry, and I feel pretty comfortable answering that question. Earnhardt said he tried to be honest with his answers, and theres general agreement in the garage that he was just that. I feel like Ive told you how terrible we might have been and why we werent winning or how close we are and that its right around the corner, he said. Im just telling you my gut feeling. But I dont feel like you guys [media] have asked the question too many times, because I think that if you werent asking that kind of question, Id be a little worried that nobody gives a dang when youre going to win There are other things about finishes and weekends and what happens to you on the race track that can bother you way worse than that to keep you up at night.
think there is a super quiet V8 under its hood. Power throughout the range is superb, especially low to mid-range where the electric motors instant-on torque makes its presence known. And hats off to Infiniti for not using a CVT transmission, instead opting for a smooth-shifting seven-speed automatic. 0-60 times are impressive, achieving the task in the low 6 second range making it quicker than the M37 and just about as quick as the M56. Being a full hybrid, this M can move under electrical power alone, up to speeds of 62 mph if you have a very light foot, otherwise the gas engine turns on and off as needed. If you want to achieve optional fuel economy, there is an eco pedal that, when turned on, makes the gas pedal push back at your foot if the car thinks
you are driving too aggressively. I found it as annoying as a mother-in-law telling you to slow down, so I kept it off. Electrical power is stored in a lithium-ion battery pack that is stored behind the rear seats, thus reducing trunk space from 14.9 cubic feet to 11.3 cubic feet. Being a hybrid doesnt mean you have to cut out on amenities. Infiniti fits every M Hybrid with standard luxury features like dual-zone climate control, a moonroof, a 7-inch color display with rearview monitor, Xenon headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers and a hybrid power/charge meter. And being an M means you get an interior fitted with plush leather seats that keep you in perfect comfort. The roomy cabin is top-notch with fancy wood and leather used throughout. Some of the control placements take a little getting used to, but nothing that cant be easily learned. Like the M37 and M56, the M Hybrid can be fitted with the latest in gadgets and thats just how my tester was equipped. Packages like the Premium Package adds in in a navigation system, a 10 speaker Bose sound system, a climate controlled seats and a heated steering wheel. CONT/P 30

NOTEBOOK
Infiniti M Hybrid...
Continued from page 28...The Technology Package installs a radar cruise control system which and a Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system that alerts the driver of unintended lane drifting. Also included is a blind sport warning system. Of course, all the features drive the price up, forcing the price of my tester to go up from its base price of $53,700 to a whopping $67,955. Its hard to find fault with the M Hybrid. It drives great, giving V8 power with fourcylinder fuel economy, is luxurious with tons of creature comforts, and has looks that make it feel right at home at the country club. In a way, its hard to believe the M Hybrid is in fact a hybrid.
