Kirill VMember
I'll have a business trip to US in early April and I'm thinking about (semi-secretly) spending half of it backpacking.
I must visit Las Vegas (for work) and San Francisco (for my flight home), preferably I should be able to start in Vegas and finish in San Francisco (hop-on, hop off public transportation like Bundu Bus, etc).
I'll have 5-7 days (5 days is better, so I'll have reasonable time for work) for my trip.
Because of 1) time constraints and 2) it's my first visit to US, I would like to:
1) see magnificent, gorgeous, stunning nature – (again, it's my first trip to America, and I don't know when the next one will be possible).
2) do something "meaningful" – crossing "something", walking from point A to point B, rafting some river, doing some short but beautiful trail (High Sierra Trail ?).
I'm comfortable solo hiking, walk pretty fast, but never hiked in mountains higher than 5000 feet (1,5 km).
If needed, I could bring packraft and will be happy to raft part of my journey.
I could bring snowshoes, but I'm not very experienced wintertime backpacker, though I still have some time for practice here, at home (Russia).
I would prefer temperatures not below 20 Fahrenheit (-5 Celcius).
40 Fahrenheit (5 Celsius) and up is better.
What would you recommend to fellow foreigner?Mar 4, 2013 at 10:48 am #1961254

I know you are from Russia, but the best backpacking in California is actually in the Sierra Nevada—and they are covered in snow right now. Unless you really want a winter adventure, I'd advise you to look elsewhere.
But your suggest for an epic trip makes me think of the Grand Canyon. You should be able to get there from Vegas pretty darn easily–and then have a gorgeous (pun intended) hike down in to the Canyon. Once you've had your fun, it's easy to get from Vegas to SFO in a couple of hours on a plane…or two days in a car.Mar 4, 2013 at 1:32 pm #1961334

Zion National Park is worth looking into, and I believe it is possible for it to not be freezing cold in April. Zion is also not very far from Vegas (maybe 250km), but I'm not sure how available public transportation is. Depending on weather, you could maybe do the 'Zion Traverse Trail'(80km).
Here is a thread of people talking about doing it in early April 2011:
The Colorado River is near by too, so there could be some rafting trips in that area that might interest you.
Now, it would be a shame to not see Yosemite when in the area, but in April I think that would maybe be more winter than you'd want to deal with.
Have fun!Mar 4, 2013 at 1:56 pm #1961349

If the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park (several hours since you would go down to Kingman AZ, then head to the park via Interstate 40) or Zion National Park (about 3+ hrs on Interstate 15) do not work out, there is always the Bay area.
With a rental, you can go to the Ventana wilderness (had a great Spring Break but some overgrown trail), Point Reyes (nice ocean views but probably already reserved for the weekend), or other Bay area wilderness. I'll usually get a rental car at Oakland International mid-morning and zoom out of there. Bring it back and get on the BART to SFO.Mar 9, 2013 at 9:25 am #1963458

I would consider Zion and several other places in southern Utah. Its such a different landscape. I think Death Valley would be nice in April too.Mar 9, 2013 at 10:48 am #1963492

In early April, any of the good mountains will be full of snow and cold.
Public transportation in the US outside major metro areas is pretty pathetic compared to many parts of the world. I'd personally avoid the Bundu Bus from all the negative reviews I found. You're pretty much limited to Amtrak (train), Greyhound (bus) or maybe some regional bus carriers.
Zion and Grand Canyon as others have pointed out would be the big ticket parks to visit that time of year but in the opposite direction you wish to travel. http://grandcanyontourcompany.com/nightbus.htm would be a short trip that would allow you to dayhike to Colorado River and back if you're in shape. They also allow just transportation options if you want to spend a few days, but you need a permit to camp overnight in the canyon and those are hard to come by in the spring. You could try to get a walk-up permit perhaps. Looks like http://www.zionshuttleservice.com/ can get you from LV to Zion.
Death Valley could be an option and shouldn't be too hot yet. That's the lowest point in North America. http://www.panamintcity.com/ is the spot to check on hiking options there.
I suppose you could go into just Yosemite Valley and maybe rent some skis (or downhill at Badger Pass). There is a bus from Merced (http://www.yarts.com/schedules.html) and Greyhound provides service there (as does Amtrak).Mar 9, 2013 at 1:17 pm #1963528

April is the perfect time to explore Yosemite Valley area, the backcountry is loaded with snow but around the valley, it's a low elevation and plenty of water from snow melt and very few people. This is what it looked like last week.
I'll go with you if you want a hiking partner but I can only go on weekends.
I would love to hike the rim of valley.
Big Sur has great trails.
In Vegas I'd go see Antelope Canyon.Mar 10, 2013 at 8:47 am #1963832

@acrosomeLocale: Back in the Front Range
If you're not sure when you'll ever get back to the US, but want something epic, yet avoid winter camping… that's tough in that region in April.
The problem with the Grand Canyon is that it is far too late to get a permit for backcountry camping- you'd have to do dayhikes, or get VERY lucky and find a vacancy at Phantom Ranch. There are permits saved for walk-ins, but you usually have to put your name on a list and wait around for a day or two to get one. So that's a possibility, but it sounds like your time is limited.
I know nothing about the permit system at Yosemite. If others say it is possible, I think that's going to be your best option.
I can't speak intelligently about coastal California.
Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, etc.- outstanding areas, but I'm not sure if that's the kind of "epic" you're looking for. Also, it's not on your route (but neither is Grand Canyon).
I have no idea what the TRT is like in April. My guess is several feet of snow…
Tough one. Lots of great hikes- I'm just not sure about classically epic ones. Those are covered in snow in April.Mar 10, 2013 at 11:48 pm #1964140

@mariposaLocale: Outside
I have lived in Russia, and wish that we in the Western U.S. had public transit as good as Russia's. Unfortunately it's pretty bad here, and nearly impossible without a car rental to get to any of the great natural areas or parks.
All of my Russian friends without exception have absolutely loved the Desert Southwest here. Fortunately for you, early April is about the BEST time of the whole year to visit that area!
Therefore I would recommend spending 5 days in Zion National Park. Zion is 3 hours' drive in the wrong direction (east) from Las Vegas, but it really represents the best of the desert (after Grand Canyon, which is impossible to get a permit for this late in time). And there may be some kind of transit (?) from Las Vegas to Zion. You could check the "rideshare" section at the Las Vegas version of craigslist.org.
There are people on this forum who know much more about Zion than I do, especially the multi-day "epic" hikes there. So you could post more detailed questions about Zion separately.
After 5 days, return to Las Vegas and then fly to San Francisco. (The drive DIRECTLY from Vegas to San Francisco is 11 hours long and very boring.)
An alternative plan (instead of going to Zion) could be to rent a car, drive to Death Valley (the desert), spend some time there, then drive to Yosemite and spend some time there as well. In Yosemite, your time will be on skis or snowshoes. My personal opinion is that this will not feel as much like an adventure as Zion would. Instead of doing an epic hike, you might end up feeling more like a tourist, fighting the crowds and being stuck close to your car.
Frankly I think Zion is far more interesting than Death Valley. And multi-day hikes are possible in Zion because water is available, whereas in Death Valley it is not really.

Getting a walk-in for something in the Grand Canyon will be doable if you're flexible and in good shape. Awesome but tough backpacking. There is public transit from Vegas but it can be a time suck.
Zion would visually knock your socks off, and the Kolob-main canyon traverse is a logistically simple traverse. I belive there is still a Vegas to Springdale shuttle, if you stay in the right hotel.
If you rent a car the Buckskin Gulch to Pariah River hike is good that time of year.Mar 12, 2013 at 9:56 pm #1964971
Kirill VMember
Thank you very much for all suggestions! It's cool to see so many people ready to share their ideas about best places in and around California.
Honestly, I didn't even know about Zion traverse or Spring Mountains before.
Almost any place mentioned deserves more time than I have…
I would like to keep Grand Canyon for the future trip ("soft" version with kids, or packrafting alone).
Taking into account all factors (time, locations, transportation, permits, etc) I'm thinking about:
– 3-4 days in Sierra Nevada near Mammoth Lakes
It's possible to get there from Vegas with a shuttle bus company and there's a direct flight to San Francisco.
It would be colder than I planned, but I could be prepared for this. I'll bring snowshoes, 4-season bag, etc.
What do you think?
Should I be prepared to snowstorms, avalanches?
– 3 days on Lost Coast Trail
It's possible to hire shuttle bus and I love ocean walks a lot.
This one seems to me easy to do and not requiring any special preparation.
As for Anthony idea
> I'll go with you if you want a hiking partner but I can only go on weekends.
Sounds good!
If it should be weekend – what about April 6-7? What place do you suggest?
If you prefer, you could send me a personal message.Mar 13, 2013 at 7:58 am #1965031

@ngatelLocale: Southern California
April in the mountains has lots of snow as noted by others. Since you will already be in Vegas, you might want to check out my 3 Lake Mead walk-abouts. See Trip Reports.
No permits needed for these trips.
If you have never been inside a major dam, I suggest taking the Hoover Dam tour.
If you want to do some packrafting, you can put in just below Hoover Dam (permit needed). Google Black Canyon Rafting – Hoover Dam. The river is pretty mild, but some great views in Black Canyon. Once you exit Black Canyon you will be entering Lake Mojave, created by the next down river dam. But you could put together a loop to hike back, just make sure you do it on the Arizona side of the Colorado River.
Hope this helps.Mar 21, 2013 at 9:12 pm #1968426

@sparkyLocale: Southern California
If you go to mammoth you do need to be prepared for winter storms and avalanche. The snow storms in mammoth routinely drop a couple feet of snow and can last for days. Now there is great skiing in mammoth if you are into that, but if this is your one trip to the states GO TO YOSEMITE!
You can easily fill up 5 days of fun in Yosemite. Yosemite is awesome in april. Yes it is a busy park but it is very easy to get away from the crowds. There is lots to see and do. You could bring your packraft and go down the merced. You could hike up to the snowline and beyond if you wanted to and had the experience and equipment.
There is a yosemite forum called yosemite news. Go there for any information you need on yosemite in aprilMar 21, 2013 at 11:26 pm #1968443

"- 3-4 days in Sierra Nevada near Mammoth Lakes"
Depending when they open Tioga Road or Sonora Pass this year, getting to San Francisco from Mammoth Lakes could be a bigger side trip then you might expect would be. I think to optimize your time in back country, and if you're really wanting to do something in the Sierra Nevada despite the snow, probably better to go in from the west side of the mountains (on the Yosemite Valley side). Plus you get to see Yosemite Valley, which is pretty damn amazing.
Transportation might be a little easier too, being that Yosemite Valley is such a high value destination.

We've started homeschooling our kids after a couple of years in public schools. I won't go into why, but our kids are happier and less-stressed and they are learning at acclerated rates. Not having a rigid school schedule allows for more flexibiity with extra-curricular activities and they school day is leaner and not packed with redundancy that stifles curiosity.
If you home school, the biggest challenge will be finding curriculum. There are lots out there--some kooky some good. The reason most people home school in our state is for religious reasons (i.e, they want to teach creationism and eschew anything secular about science). You're going to find lots of "young earthers" out there and their materials. You will aslo find Wiccans, atheists, and Pastafarians. There's a niche for everything so be judicious. A plus to the Christian curricular materials is that they are great for learning Latin. We teach that as the first secondary language because it is great for grammar as well as all of the root words and scientific applications later. It also makes it easy to branch off into Italian, French, and Spanish. You can just ignore the religiosity of it if you choose.
Try to stay astride with the local school district as far as the core of the compentencies are concerned. Teach those first. You'll spend a lot of time trying to figure out your kids' learning style--the strengths AND weaknesses become quite apparent. You'll probably find that your kids pick up on the material faster when they're not waiting on a teacher to corral 23 other kids along with the unit. This gives you more time to learn. My kids love science experiments and organized field trips with other home schoolers. Find a good community of others you can team up with--parents can share their strengths. We have a French Canadian mom who helps teach French and another who is an engineer helping with science.
There is a great opportunity for success and failure--it's all in what you bring to it. The important thing is to keep your kids curious--it's the engine for learning. Public schools can kill that curiosity but an ill-prepared home school parent can underserve it!
Good luck!

4 Ways to Protect Yourself from Laptop Theft
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, PC / Laptop, Software
As we close out Device Theft Awareness Month, we wanted to talk about laptop security. We've already covered the device theft statistics, alongside a bunch of ways to protect yourself from smartphone theft. Some may argue that notebooks are even more of a danger to lose than a smartphone, due to the vast amount of personal data stored on them that can be lost or fall into the wrong hands, as well as the cost of replacement. Let's talk about some of the ways to protect both your investment and your data.
1. Password protect your computer. Regardless of whether you use a PC, Mac, or Linux, you have the option of settings up a lock screen barrier where you'll need to enter a password, custom swipe, image touch, or other secure option. It's a small step that some may find to be an annoyance, but it's an easy (and free) first line of defense in case someone is able to snatch up your device.

4 Ways to Protect Yourself from Smartphone Theft
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, PC / Laptop, Software
As we mentioned last week, we're celebrating Device Theft Awareness Month in conjunction with Absolute LoJack. We gave you a rundown of just how big a problem device theft is nowadays, with over 3 million people becoming victims of smartphone theft just last year alone. It's a growing problem that you can protect yourself from, and this week we wanted to share three tips that you can do to avoid permanently losing your device or data in the event of loss.
1. Create a passcode for your device. This is a simple method of protecting the data that lives on your device in the event of loss or theft. Some Android devices will allow you to set a pattern instead of an alphanumeric code, and the iPhone 5s and later lets you use Touch ID fingerprint recognition. Any of these are a better option than not protecting the home screen of your device, which will let prying eyes get to anything on your product.

Kicking off Device Theft Awareness Month with #AbsoluteUncovered
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, PC / Laptop, Software
A few weeks ago we talked about what what you can do to protect yourself in the event that your smartphone, tablet, or laptop gets lost or stolen. We even took a 24-hour #DigitallyDark challenge where we gave up our smartphones for 24 hours to see how it would feel. Well, August is Device Theft Awareness Month, and we wanna talk more about what you can do if you find that you're one of over 3.1 million Americans who'll likely fall victim to smartphone theft this year. A staggering 1.4 million people who lost their devices in 2013 never got them back--that is 4.5 million lost and stolen smartphones (and that doesn't include tablets or laptops,) and is enough to make us want to do something about it. This month, follow the hashtag #AbsoluteUncovered as we dive deep into this topic.
Back in June we introduced you to Absolute LoJack, a data protection software product that is tailored to help you keep your mobile data safe, track your devices in the event of loss or theft, and even an option for assistance with recovery so you can get them back. We are taking part in Device Theft Awareness Month by bringing you a series of articles in order to keep you more informed on the issue and how you can protect yourself from becoming another statistic.

I made another appearance on this weeks episode of GeekWire Radio here in Seattle, Washington, keeping my streak alive as the person with the most guest appearances in GeekWire Radio history! In this episode, which also features Eyewitness News reporter Essex Porter (pictured with me above, and a huge Windows Phone advocate), we talk about a couple of recent Gear Live stories, including:
- iPhone 6 4.7-inch design preview
- iPhone 6 5.5-inch design preview
- Exclusive: I used the Microsoft Surface watch
I brought in the two iPhone 6 mockups in both 4.7- and 5.5-inch varieties, which made for some good conversation. We also chat about the news of the week, which included the release of the Amazon Fire Phone, and we also had a discussion about what Microsoft needs to do to make Windows Phone more accepted by the general consumer.

Apple set to introduce the iPhone 6 on September 9th
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Corporate News, Handhelds
As we have previously speculated, Re/Code is reporting that Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 6 on September 9th at a special event. The next iPhone design has already leaked, and we've already given you a look at both the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 design and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 design as well. Of course, they lack the fit-and-finish that Apple will undoubtedly put on them (we hope those thick antenna breaks will be eliminated and streamlined!) September 9th is also a few days after Samsung is rumored to introduce the Galaxy Note 4 during IFA. A perfect time for Apple to jump into the phablet game with a 5.5-inch smartphone.
We also guessed that Apple will release iOS 8 on September 16th, and release the iPhone 6 itself on September 19th based on previous timetables. We'll see how our guesses hold up come September 9th.
Apple releases iOS 8 beta 5 build 12A4345d to developers, here's what's new!

JJB directed me to some news posted at LOTRGuide:
The Epic Scale Balrog
This extremely detailed Balrog will be 22 inches from head to toe and over 2 feet with it's arm raised. It will have both it's weapons, a flaming sword and whip, as well as articulation. As if that wasn't enough, the current plan calls for it to have electronic light up eyes and flames with motion activated sound. It's expected to retail for around $50 and should be out in July but pictures could be available as soon as April. To give you a taste of what kind of detail we can expect in this Balrog, just checkout NECA's previously released Balrog Votive holder. http://188.8.131.52/photos2/data/628/1balrog.jpg
Randy from Action figure times said this:
"I saw a picture of the unpainted prototype in comparison with one of the LOTR figures and it looks amazing! I can't wait to see it painted up!
I don't think they'll be doing a Fell Beast as Toy Biz is going ahead with one for later this year."

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Fished Ambergreis last year, awesome area . You'll need to have a guide the flats are not wadable. I highly recommend George Bradley. Let me know if you would like his contact information.
|Andre D
we will be on a cruise ship that stops in Belize for the day during Easter Week. I was hoping to maybe get out for a half days fishing. Do you think this is something that can be done? If you have any info you could share with me I would appreciate it. Never have saltwater fished before, I usually stick to the fresh water species. I remember seeing the show In Search of Flywater about a month ago, they were in Belize fishing the inlets and rivers for bones and tarpon I think. I can't remember which guides they used as that was before we booked out trip. Any gear recomendations?
I just got back yesterday from 2 weeks in Belize. I stayed on caye caulker the whole trip. Did make a day trip to ambergris to scout out the area to come back on another day during this trip but after spending so much time on caulker and seeing ambergris I didnt want to go back to ambergris, reminds me alot of Mexico in some places. Anyway caye caulker is an awesome place to spend a vacation with the family, very limited tho for fishing from the island as far as flats go. I spent my time fishing with the local guide, guru and retired council member "PIGGY". His real name is porfilio guzeman but goes by piggy. He is a great guy and became a good friend. I didnt have any luck with the tarpon while I was there. I did catch two "small" permit. The bonefishing was great, caught several over 5 pounds and one that piggy said was 8-10lbs, The flats arent like the bahamas, these flats are almost all turtle grass and they never dry at low tide. Basically always fishing in 2-4ft of water. Where piggy and I went I never saw another fisherman, some of the atolls we fished are little ridges that never stick out of the water at low tide, its kind of strange standing out there with nothing around. But these are the spots for the big bones, plus they dont really get any pressure. Ambergris is probably a better spot for all out marsh and flats fishing, but know where near as clean and friendly as caye caulker.
My opinion is to at least make sure and have a ticket out of belize city when you arrive there by plane, the faster the better.
Talked to many locals and others during this trip about placencia and dangriga and the whole consensus was that those two places are alot like caye caulker, clean,quiet and fairly safe places for gringos to be.
I rented a house on caulker and it turned out great, try to get air conditioning, it still got real hot and muggy and the a/c was great at nite.
Let me know if you need further info;
Capt Mel, i will email you in the morning.
|nevada caster
I have been to Ambergris Caye twice in the last year and think that it is a great place for bonefish and tarpon.
You take a water taxi from Belize City to Ambergris for about $20. Fair to good hotels cost $50. There are a goodly number of guides who will take you out for $125for a half day, $175 for a full day Food is good but a bit on the high side.
There are always a lot of bones but the biggest I have caught isabout 6 pounds. The tarpon fishing is great if the wind is from the right direction but takes a full day.
If it is not the high season, I go for 10 days to two weeks and thenpick which days I want a guide. There is little else to do there if your your not into shorkeliing or diving.
If you're interested, email me and I'll give you a recommendation on hotels, guides, etc.
|Capt. Mel Simpson
BlueH20 should be getting home from Belize this week and I'll make sure he gives you an update on his trip.
He sent me an email from there last week and sounded like he was having a good time....
Stand By, Mel
|Haven't decided that yet. Considering ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, but would consider other options too. The only thing certain are plane tickets to Belize City on April 13th - after that I am open for any suggestions that will maximize the bone-fishing options!! Hoping to do some wade fishing but realize that a guide will likely be our best bet for most days.
|where will you be staying?
Belize adventure
Planning to spend a week in Belize in mid-April 2004. That's all I know for now - want to find some bone fishing - suggestions?

JACKSON — When new Gov. Phil Bryant announced during the presentation of his budget proposal Tuesday that he wanted to sell one of the two airplanes owned by the state for the use of state officials, one person could be heard in the back of the room clapping.
It was former House Appropriations Chair Johnny Stringer, D-Montrose, who with Republicans now in charge of the House does not carry the same clout in the lower chamber.
During his tenure as Appropriations chair, Stringer tried several times to sell one of the two aircrafts, the jet owned by the state. As lieutenant governor and the presiding officer in the Senate, Bryant never publicly supported Stringer in the effort.
Then-Republican Gov. Haley Barbour opposed selling the plane. In announcing he wanted to sell the plane, Bryant said he was not trying to make a political statement, but was doing what he thought was right.
He said the transaction should net about $2 million for the state and save the cost paid by the state for maintenance and pilots for the aircraft. Bryant said if he needs a jet the state can lease one or if the time can be worked out he can fly commercial.

In response to recent reports that malicious apps may have made their way into the official Android Market, Google has responded by announcing a new program to more proactively scan the Market and developer accounts for seemingly malicious apps and highlights and/or remove them before users experience trouble.
Traditionally, the barriers of entry for developers in the Android ecosystem have been low to get their apps placed in the official Market. This was by design, allowing Android to sprint past other smartphone platforms in adoption rates, since many apps that users wanted were likely to be there before they hit other platforms. The downside is that app authors choosing to bundle malicious, or borderline malicious apps had an easier time with distribution.
By contrast, the iPhone ecosystem represented a more closed, vetted, and more expensive environment for developers to launch their apps. This resulted in steady growth, but the more rigid process of an app making it to their official App Store deterred the more unsavory app developers from spending the extra effort to circumvent controls. In short, it was easier to spread bad things, or borderline bad things on the Android smartphones.
The new effort, called Bouncer, aims to silently scan the marketplace for rogue and borderline apps, largely transparently to the user. When a new app upload is attempted by the developer, Bouncer will do a preliminary scan to determine whether it acts malicious, or borderline.
Hiroshi Lockheimer, VP of Engineering, Android, explains in his blog on the subject that the effort "provides automated scanning of Android Market for potentially malicious software without disrupting the user experience of Android Market or requiring developers to go through an application approval process."
Bouncer aims to run each app in a simulated cloud-base environment to watch for malicious activity. It will also scan for changes in existing apps. If it detects an app has changed, it will red flag it for scanning, keeping existing apps (hopefully) more malware-free. Additionally, developers exhibiting a pattern publishing malicious apps may be blacklisted. Is it working? In the second half of 2011, Mr. Lockheimer says "we saw a 40% decrease in the number of potentially-malicious downloads from Android Market," so progress seems positive.
With an estimated 11 million apps available for Android, and a year-over-year growth rate of 250% according to Mr. Lockheimer, there's a lot of scanning to be done. But this also speaks toward the success and ubiquity of the platform, and perceived value to users. In that department, Android has done quite well indeed.

The following I got from Tfn....
I heard that there will be a third season of the Clone Wars show on Cartoon Network but I thought this new SW show will be... well new. It was my understanding that the new show was going to be live action and not animated. Is this the new show or is he just going to help out with Season 3? Or do I as usual have my facts wrong?Mercury News has a great QnA with the man himself this weekend from San Francisco. Here's a clip, for more follow that link:
You've talked about making more personal films when the ``Star Wars'' saga was over. You have the means and the opportunity to do anything you want now. How do you decide what to do next?
I'm going to produce the new ``Indiana Jones'' film, I'm going to produce a film called ``Red Tails'' about African-American fighter pilots. I'm also helping get an animated TV series about ``Star Wars'' called ``Clone Wars'' off the ground. I'm going to spend a year to 18 months getting all these things going, and then I'm going to start writing my own more adventurous, experimental films, which probably will not be as popular as the kind of work I've done in the past. But I like it.

Is your inspector working for you or the real estate agent?October 28, 2013 10:31 PM
Home inspectors and real estate agents work together, but not always for the best interest of the homebuyer, says Bruce McClure, a Toronto, Canada-based licensed home inspector and author of "Buy or Run: I'm a Real Home Inspector Not a TV Celebrity!"
Too many home inspectors turn a blind eye to serious issues with a house in order to help close the deal, said Mr. McClure. That leads to unsuspecting homebuyers who have paid good money for a home inspection only to end up with a house of horrors.
"Home inspectors are small business people and the majority of us will market our services to Realtors," Mr. McClure said. "They know if they go out and blow the sale for the Realtor, the Realtor will not refer them in the future.
"People like myself gain a reputation for being deal killers because I work for my client -- the homebuyer. I want to protect their best interest, which means pointing out issues and telling them what's wrong with the house and things that may end up costing them money."
A home inspection can make or break a real estate transaction. Buyers often have the right to back out of a contract to buy a house or ask for a lower purchase price if the results of the inspection reveal significant structural problems.
In the U.S., only 35 states -- including Pennsylvania -- have licensing requirements for home inspectors.
The American Society of Home Inspectors estimates there are between 25,000 and 40,000 home inspectors in the U.S. There is no official number of home inspectors due to some states having no licensing requirements and the fact that there are multiple volunteer associations that set standards for the industry.
"There is no standard inspection format," Mr. McClure said. "Many jurisdictions stipulate that the inspector must follow the American Society of Home Inspectors or the Canadian Association of Home and Property Inspectors standards of practice, but do not require the inspector to be a member of either association.
"As a result, there's no one making sure these inspectors follow the standards or rules."
At one time, the property appraisal industry faced similar criticism for doing a poor job of estimating the value of real estate prior to the housing bust, largely because appraisers were influenced by Realtors and financial institutions that needed homes to have a certain value to complete a sale. Now property appraisers are guided by different rules meant to avoid any conflicts of interest.
Walter Molony, a spokesman for the National Association of Realtors in Washington, D.C., said real estate agents do refer buyers to home inspectors and vice versa. He said real estate agents look for someone with no conflict of interest. The home inspector should provide a written report and welcome the buyers to go along on the inspection to take notes.
Mr. Molony also said the home inspector should be a member of a professional industry organization.
Stephen Gladstone, owner of Stonehollow Fine Home Inspection in Stamford, Conn., and 2004 president of the American Society of Home Inspectors, said he has been in the business for 30 years and he agrees with many of the points raised by Mr. McClure.
"Like any business, as you get better you see things," he said. "The more experienced inspectors out there will see the items that are important. They will see that house for what it is and that may scare a Realtor."
Home inspectors could be liable for failing to point out serious problems in a house, which is why they are required to have errors-and-omissions insurance. Mr. McClure said lawsuits against home inspectors are far more common than many people realize. Some of the lawsuits are trivial, others major.
"We somehow need to separate the home inspection from the real estate contract and the influence of the Realtor," he said. "Until we do this, government licensing, rules and regulations won't mean anything because at the end of the day, Realtors are in charge."

Don't Be Under the Cloud (Part Ⅰ)
Using TaskWarrior for Project Management
I know they're sexy. They're beautiful. They're everywhere: To-do list and project managers like Asana, Behance's ActionMethod and Nirvana. [You can go on forever listing these, they're easy to make, easy to market and extremely competitive.] If they're free, eventually you'll run into their limitations. I especially enjoyed PivotalTracker, but they since changed their business model and it was no longer useful to me (on my budget). Lessons learned: Free + Online always means you're going to be vulnerable to Internet, weather, or market conditions. Get off the cloud whenever it makes sense.
Enter TaskWarrior.
I've always been a CLI-person, since learning UNIX back in the good ole' days in the late '80s. There are just some things that are more reliable when you're not fighting the latest GUI fashion of the day, whether it be in your web browser or your operating system. I needed a CLI-task/project management system, something that wouldn't require a web server to install or web browser to display. TaskWarrior (which I'll abbreviate TW) fills that bill and I don't have to be nagged to "upgrade" when I exceed a number of tasks or projects. I won't regurgitate how you can use it here when there's a very short 30-Second Tutorial and a Longer Tutorial already there to use. What I do want you to know about are the reporting features.
Shaving Milliseconds
alias tw=task
to your shell configuration and you'll save a couple of keystrokes invoking TW. You could use TW's built-in "shell" command but since TW may-or-may-not have GNU Readline support built-in, it's easer to edit and run from the shell. If you don't make this alias, mentally replace tw with task in all of my following examples.
The Default Report and Other Reports
The default report is what is shown when you simply run tw– you'll get a list of tasks ID, Project, Priority, Due-Date, Age, Active-Tasks, Urgency (a unique TW feature) and Description. This report is good enough to clue you into what you should be working on next and will highlight what you're actively working on if you have started it.
Urgency is TW's way of weighting tasks so they bubble up to the top of your heap. Tasks not assigned to projects aren't as urgent as tasks that are and tasks with closer due-dates are more urgent than tasks without due-dates, and so on. If you really want to nuance (or waste your time) urgency, you can also set priorities on your tasks. I prefer to use wait:<duration> task-modifications to take the tasks out of my immediate horizon, giving myself permission to ignore a task, knowing that when the time comes, it will come back.
The first command you should know about is of course the report command. This tells you all the possibilities you have with TW:
- active shows you the tasks you have started.
- all shows you all the pending and completed tasks.
- blocked becomes useful when you start relating tasks to each other as being dependencies of other tasks—blocked tasks can't be started until other tasks have been completed.
- burndown if you're familiar with SCRUM project processes, is a view of how much left there is to a project, which can be useful for estimating completion dates.
- completed of course shows you what has been done.
- ghistory gives you a graphical bar-graph of Added, Computed and Deleted tasks. You can view it by month (the default) or annually by adding .annual to the end of the command. If you don't want the bar graphs, use history instead.
- information is the complete laundry list of details about each task.
- list is just barely more verbose than next, but without showing Urgency.
- long will fill your terminal with task information including: ID, Project, Priority, Added, Started, Due, Recurring, Countdown to ready, Age, Dependencies, Tags and of course, its Description.
- ls shows the tasks by ID, Pri, Project and Description.
- minimal shows the tasks by ID, Project and Description and nothing else, it's the same as ls without Priority.
- newest shows you the tasks you've added by their age.
- next is the default action when you run tw without any arguments, showing you the next actions.
- oldest is the opposite of newest and will instantly show you your greatest goals along with your worst procrastinations.
- overdue is exactly what you think it means.
- projects gives you the bird's eye view of collections of tasks you have. It doesn't show you the tasks, but it shows how many tasks of each priority there are in each project.
- ready appears to be the same as next.
- recurring is your life-hack to reminders of things that you have to do periodically. I use it to remind myself and track my Omega-3 supplements.
- summary gives you a feel-good progress bar view of your active projects.
- tags shows you your other task classifications other than project. You can use tags for GTD contexts or other project management concepts like tracking assignments to other people.
- unblocked shows you what's ready to be worked on.
- waiting shows you the tasks that you have pushed into the future.
This just gives you some idea of what you can do with the reports—of course, read the tutorials so you can see how to use TW for adding, changing or removing tasks. If you have any CLI chops, I think you'll enjoy having TaskWarrior available as a tool without having to resort to vim with a simple text file as your TODO list. Not that there is anything wrong with that…

Feeney to give first talk in President's Lecture Series
Posted October 14, 2010; 11:39 p.m.
Denis Feeney, a Princeton professor of classics, will deliver the first talk in this year's President's Lecture Series at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 26, in the Friend Center, Room 101.
Feeney will present a lecture titled "Wormholes and Time Machines on the Site of Virgil's Rome." In Virgil's epic "Aeneid," the Trojan hero Aeneas tours the site of Rome centuries before the city is founded. Feeney will discuss how the resulting contrast between "then" and "now" illuminates how Virgil and his Roman audience imagine the movement of history and the destiny of their city and its monuments.
Feeney's talk is the first of three scheduled for this year's President's Lecture Series. Nolan McCarty, the Susan Dod Brown Professor of Politics and Public Affairs, will speak on Thursday, Dec. 2, in McCosh Hall, Room 10, followed by a talk by Virginia Zakian, the Harry C. Wiess Professor in the Life Sciences, on Thursday, March 24, in Friend 101. Both lectures will be held at 4:30 p.m.
The lecture series was started by President Shirley M. Tilghman in 2001 to bring together faculty members from different disciplines to learn about the work others are doing in a variety of fields. The talks will be webcast; viewing information will be available on the Webmedia site.

Long time no diary! Many random hacks:
- Released Distel version 3.0. It's now a pretty solid Emacs-based UI toolkit for Erlang programs, as well as a respectable IDE implemented in itself. Definitely my most fun hack so far in this life.
- Entered the ICFP 2002 Programming Contest.
- Did some very basic low-level network hacking in Common Lisp. Just enough to respond to ARP requests over ethernet, implemented via Linux tunnel devices. Now starting to think about IP.
- As part of the Language of the Year project, ported the solution to the Nine 9s problem that demoncrat and I did from Common Lisp to Haskell, and am awaiting critical feedback. Warning: Spoiler!
And, learned to use Word and Powerpoint at work - obviously signaling a great disturbance in the Force.
(I also crashed Netscape right before posting this article, and am delighted to find that Advogato preserved it.)

Lobo might be coming back to greatness! This week I picked up Lobo Unbound #1, mainly because I saw "Lobo" and "Keith Giffen" on the same cover for the first time in years.
This is on par with the classic Lobo mini-series from the 90s, back when Simon Bisley painted the Main Man kicking butt and taking names with his "Mature Readers" label all throughout the universe. . . and Heaven and Hell.
There was Lobo (AKA Lobo: The Last Czarnian), the original mini-series, where Lobo finds out his genocide of his people wasn't quite complete. Then Lobo's Paramilitary Christmas Special (my personal favorite), where the Easte Bunny hires 'Bo to wack Santa Claus. This was followed by Lobo's Back, where Lobo was repeatedly killed by his nemesis Loo and reincarnated several times because he was too nasty for either Heaven or Hell to accept him.
Then was the beginning of the end. Keith Giffen drew (in a very weird style) a mini-series where Lobo joined the Army and got a haircut! Then he left for Image with the blatant ripoff Trencher, which was pretty dull. It didn't seem like the work of the dude who'd created both Lobo and Ambush Bug. Lobo meanwhile got his ongoing series, which had Comic Code approval.
And his popularity waned.
And now, he's back with a vengeance. This is the classic Lobo we all know and love.
If you like really twisted tales of violence and mayhem that leave you laughing out loud, Lobo's Unbound is for you. (And so are the early Lobo mini-series.)

A question real quick, how often do you feed your fish. I have heard one time a day, two times a day, or even one time every other day. There is a fish tank at my work that was a total wreck. I went to the lfs and talked to them and they all said feed every other day, it helped clear the tank up quite a bit along with the water changes and now i am wondering if i should do that with my tank not saying it is nasty but its not how i want it. Any advice would be great.
Tank is a 29 gallon with 4 zebra danios, 2 dalmatian mollies and 1 cory cat.
Looking at getting a pleco tomorrow because there is a little bit of algae starting to form i have had the tank for almost 2 months now.
Thanks again for the future info
First of all, danios and corys are schooling species, you should have at least minimum of 6 each (same) specie.
2nd, every other day is fine, but i think at least once a day is better, and only feed them what they can eat in 1-2 minutes.
Third, if you know how to sex mollies, you should have 1m and 2 females if going for mixed gender. 2 is fine if they're both the same gender.
And last, you should not get a fish for you to clean the tank. If you really want to have this tank then try to at least maintain it.Da name's Paul. Not Dave. ROFL
Learn to give and take. That's how things should always work.
If you're going to go out and get another fish get more cories. That one all by itself is probably really miserable, even if it "seems" happy to you.

Im not looking at getting a fish to keep the tank clean for me i do the water changes, its just a little bit of help i think to have one. And i will look at getting more corys then to and also another molly i dont know how to sex them though.
An algae scraper or soapless scouring pad will help remove algae from the glass during water changes. Getting a pleco will add unnecessarily to your bioload. Instead, get some companions for your schooling fish. They'll feel a lot more secure around their own kind.

Talk about being unpopular.
Shares of J.C. Penney (JCP) are up close to 5% today and leading the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Good news, you'd think, but the rise is being attributed to rumors that CEO Ron Johnson — widely credited/blamed with driving the retailer into a ditch — was leaving the company.
But it seems such talk has been overblown:
"Ron Johnson is not quitting or resigning from J.C. Penney and he has no plans to do so," Joey Thomas, a spokesman for the Plano, Texas-based company, said today in an e-mail. "The rumors are false."
Burt Flickinger, managing director at Strategic Resource Group, was on Bloomberg TV today, and said that he thinks the retailer is heading for bankruptcy:
I'm 19 for 19 predicting retail bankruptcies…my forecast says J.C. Penney's not going to make it with the current team in place…there's not enough to time to turn it around before the holidays, when vendors may insist on letters of credit to draw down working capital — and that's usually when the company contracts and could collapse.
Flickinger suggested bringing in Bob Mettler, who's turned around retailers in the past, among other names. Asked if Johnson was the wrong hire for Penney, Flickinger said
Steve Jobs was smart enough to put Mickey Drexler on his board in 1999 to develop the Apple stores; Ron Johnson is not Mickey Drexler.

I'll take my Friends to my best spots.
Because, they are closer than blood, and would sooner castrate themselves than do anything to "hurt" me.
I would give my life for them, and they for me.
My acquaintances are just acquaintances. We have fun together, but they don't qualify as Friends.
They don't get to see what it is that makes me who I am. And they don't need to.
It is said that blood is thicker than water. But, you don't get to pick your relatives.
You do however get to pick your Friends. Choose wisely.

But I can understand that and choose not to hunt with them. Up to and until the time they've done the same and by the nature of it, feel the same.
My motivation is a quality hunt afield in peace, be it alone or with another like-minded. It's not a social event. Hard to judge someone as a friend that doesn't embrace the same - it just means I don't invite them.
We shoot dogs with a Canon
Can't win.
I was invited to a goose shoot in a particular field four years ago. Often drove by and reported whether there were birds in there or not back to the fellow that invited me but never went in without him.
Another friend rented this same field (about three hundred acres) for crops and was a personal friend of the landowner. I was invited to shoot with the renter.
The first (now ex-friend) came by while we were still in the field and questioned my ethics since I knew the field was his, and I did. He even went so far as to complain to the landowner.
The landowner got in touch with the renter and asked him whether he should kick the first guy off permantently. A conundrum.
The comment was made that the guy with the permission sometimes feels he has more ownership than the landowner.
I continue to shoot with the renter and have lost friend.
I had a friend I used to deer hunt with a lot ,until I took him to a private farm once ,then he went back without me and told the land owner that I said it was alright. I no longer have that friend or farm.

games, today announced Capcom vs. SNK 2™: Mark of the Millennium 2001,

Issue Trackers trace the positions of candidates from the 2008 presidential campaign on major issues related to foreign policy.
The U.S. presidential campaign has regularly featured debate over policy on containing the nuclear ambitions of states like Iran and North Korea. Instability in other nuclear countries, especially Pakistan, has also been cause for alarm among many candidates during the campaign. On the subject of broader nuclear nonproliferation policy, leading Democratic and Republican candidates have offered differing approaches. The Democratic candidates have all pledged to decrease the U.S. nuclear arsenal and to push for ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). Some Republican candidates have in the past voted against the CTBT. Republican contenders generally favor initiatives like increased spending on missile defense as well as maintaining a strong U.S. nuclear arsenal as a deterrent.

Posted: 29 September 2013 at 6:45am
It is narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Anas ( رضي الله عنه) that Nabi (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said:
"O men! You should weep, and if you do not weep, try to weep because the people in Hell would shed tears so much that their tears would mark drains on their faces. When their tears come to an end, blood would begin to flow from their eyes, causing deep injury to them. In short there will be such an abundance of blood and tears that if boats were to be set on them, they would begin to sail."

Towheads (Shannon Plumb | Brooklyn, NY | 86 min.)
Pink slippers on her feet, fuzzy snake in her hand, Penelope counts the minutes till she needs to collect her kids from school, her adventure for the day. The mission is fraught with challenges, navigating traffic, litter and blue vagabonds. She handles the journey with a lively focus and comedic flair, but her energy is sapped. After quelling a food fight between the little "animals," it's all she can do to stay awake for her unseen husband who comes home late buzzing about his busy day and making passive aggressive comments about the lack of milk.
Writer / director / star of the film Shannon Plumb is playing the antithesis of the Brooklyn "Power Mom," the woman who easily juggles career and motherhood, homemaker and artist. Instead, Plumb's Penelope struggles to make sandwiches and make art, to fulfill her duties but also find creative outlets. Her failings are cleverly marked by constantly building, interconnected strings of physical humor: from the broken umbrella to the chain on the jacket to the couture wedding cake dress... The house around her is falling into disarray, but when a mirror tumbles, that's just a sign your outfit is fine. After bizarre attempts to perform new characters result in strangely successful results outside the home but unfulfilling results at home (from pole dancing to toilet plunging in one afternoon), Penelope gives in fully to a second childhood. Her kids think she's a fun (though inscrutable) new playmate, but her husband tells her to come back to "the real world." The "real world" isn't what Penelope needs.
Towheads is clearly addressing a challenge faced by many modern women, here made intimate by the fact that Plumb (acclaimed as an artist who performs as slightly askew characters in her videos) continues and extends the arm's-length-introspection of her work by bringing her real children in to give adorable and charming performances as the blond-mopped trouble makers of the title. The film, therefore, is a self-reflective journey and a triumphant achievement, treated with an understated humor and dashing charm that belies the depth of the emotions. It's clear Plumb's Penelope loves her kids and loves her art, and here she's wrapped them up in a bundle and shared them with the world.

Philadelphia will have a bike race this year and it'll include the Wall in Manayunk.
The new 2013 race dubbed the Philly Cycling Classic will be organized by a team of sports event professionals with experience hosting cycling races, cycling advocates and local business and community leaders, Congressman Bob Brady announced today.
"The Mayor has called for a premier cycling event and the team we have pulled together intends to deliver nothing less for the City of Philadelphia in 2013," Brady said in a statement. "As long as there is a Wall in Manayunk there will be a world class cycling event in Philadelphia."
Shortly after David Chauner, founder of the Philadelphia International Cycling Championship announced there would be no race this year due to rising city costs and loss of sponsors, Brady immediately sprang into action to save this year's race. Brady held a series of meetings with local elected officials, cycling enthusiasts and corporate leaders.
The new team of organizers for this year's race does not include Chauner, of Pro Cycling Tour, who owes the city over $300,000 for last year's race. Chauner's relationship with the city has soured over the years.

The hits keep coming at high-end retailer Nordstrom (JWN).
After reporting a decline in fourth-quarter earnings and weak sales, shares traded down 0.3% to $59.24 today. And Sterne, Agee & Leach's Charles Grom, while acknowledging that the fourth quarter was "OK," warned that there were issues developing underneath. He explains:
Beneath the surface, there are two disturbing trends emerging that shouldn't go unnoticed, including: 1) a more promotional environment/gross profit margin risk (as Nordstrom price matches); and 2) full line cannibalization (via e-commerce), which structurally compresses Nordstrom's top-line algo. All told, the Nordstrom experience is one of the best in retail, but the stock is dead money for the foreseeable future, in our view.
Grom accentuated a few positives that included a rise in same-store sales by 2.6% and decent earnings. A rise in inventory levels and lower EPS guidance were some of the negatives, Grom said.
Nordstrom's pain didn't cause stand in the way of gains for some other department store stocks. Dillard's (DDS) gained 1.5% to $89.33, while Macy's (M) rose 0.5% to $53.71. Even J.C. Penney (JCP) had a better day. It finished down just 0.2% at $5.64.
