Hi All,
I am preparing for a cross-country move from Brooklyn, NY to Portland, OR. I am seeking advice on how best to get my mandolin to Portland.
Details: My mando is in a hard case. I have a great oversized box which I can cushion and pad well around the case, so I am not too worried about shock (since I will be cushioning the mand0 inside the case and outside the case in the box). I guess I am most concerned about temperature in a moving container...
Here are my options:
Option 1: I can pack my mandolin in the box along with all of our belongings in the "Pod" moving container. (Transit is over 10 days)
Option 2: I can ship it via UPS ground (Transit time 5 days)
Any help, advice, feedback to give me some peace of mind would VERY appreciated.
Thanks so much!

We are pleased to announce the expansion of our service offering with a range of flexible, value-added services for customer specific bagging, kitting and dying. Heyco (UK) are known by design engineers and buyers for our extensive catalogue of standard plastic components. The launch of our value-added services demonstrates the companys service commitment and its willingness to go the extra mile to meet customers individual needs. Our new services take the hassle away from the customer, freeing up their resource and saving them valuable time and money.
The new customer specific bagging service is ideal for distribution companies wishing to sell small quantities of product off the shelf without having to re-bag at their premises. We can supply parts bagged in quantities ranging from a single part, up to many thousands. The bags can be branded with the customers logo and/or marked with specific part numbers, bar codes and other unique markings.
Heycos kitting service allows customers to specify multiple parts to be kitted out in a single bag or box. Boxes can be compartmented to contain for example, various sizes of screws, nuts and washers that can be sold with a piece of equipment as spares or fitting components. This service is ideal for distributors who are able to sell kits on to DIY outlets or as sample boxes for research and development departments. Equipment manufacturers are also able to buy kits as spares that are pre-bagged and ready to ship with their equipment.
The dying service allows customers to colour natural or white nylon parts to a wide variety of shades. This process is ideal for situations where a number of different colours are required for the same part, for example colouring cable ties to identify different types of cable harnesses or circuits or when only a small quantity of coloured parts are required. There are no lengthy manufacturing lead-times involved and parts can be taken from stock, dyed and shipped the same day.
For more information on our value-added services, or to discuss your requirements, please call us on 0044 1202 865222.

Information technology -- Biometric data interchange formats -- Part 3: Finger pattern spectral data

Paper | CHF 146,00 | Add to basket |
ISO/IEC 19794-3:2006, the finger pattern spectral data interchange format, specifies requirements for the representation of local or global spectral data derived from a fingerprint image. The format is designed to provide flexibility in the choice of spectral representation in that spectral components may be based on quantized co-sinusoidal triplets, Discrete Fourier Transformations or Gabor filters. The format also allows for a variable number of spectral components to be retained, which enables data representations in a form that is more compact than storage of the entire fingerprint image. ISO/IEC 19794-3:2006 provides example data records for each of the spectral representations.

The motivation is simple, as it is trivially right when $p=2$. When considering the duality between $L^p$ ($l^p$) and $L^q$ ($l^q$) when $p$ and $q$ are conjugate in the sense that $1/p+1/q=1$, I wonder if $L^p$ and $l^p$ are the same in the sense of isometry. I tried to use the situation when $p=2$, however I find it difficult to give a linear homeomorphism.
Remember to vote up questions/answers you find interesting or helpful (requires 15 reputation points)
Variants of this question show up often enough here on MO and over at math.SE that it seems worthwhile to collect some facts and links. I say isomorphic for linearly homeomorphic and isometric for isometrically isomorphic. One main upshot is: Plenty of references can be found in the following threads on MO and math.SE:
Let me finish by recommending the very nice book by Albiac and Kalton, Topics in Banach Space Theory, as an alternative to Lindenstrauss-Tzafriri. It contains a gentle introduction to the above ideas and much more. Edit: Further links to related topics:
You can accept an answer to one of your own questions by clicking the check mark next to it. This awards 15 reputation points to the person who answered and 2 reputation points to you.
The standard way to do this is to use the fact that infinite dimensional complemented subspaces of $\ell^p$ are isomorphic to the space itself whereas $L^p$ has a complemented subspace which is isomorphic to Hilbert space (essentially the Khintchine inequality). Probably the most accessible reference is the standard monograph of Lindenstrauss and Tzafriri on classical Banach spaces. The $\infty$ case is a bit more subtle. |

Curtis Granderson will be sidelined 10 weeks after X-rays revealed a fracture in his right forearm.
Terrible news for the Bombers. Granderson suffered the fracture Sunday when he was hit by a J.A. Happ pitch during his first plate appearance of spring training. The Yankees will go with Brett Gardner in center field, but their options for left field are limited. Juan Rivera is likely the favorite to start there for now, with Matt Diaz also in the mix. Look for the Yanks to seek help outside the organization.

The combination of sweet apricot preserves and tangy Dijon mustard is perfect for pork. I have also done something similar to this with blackberry preserves and bourbon. Exermom - I have a cookbook program that allows me to calculate the nutritional values based on ingredients, quantities & number of servings. It's usually close to recipes that have the info.

Stroud district loyalty card scheme a success (From Gazette Series)
Get involved: send your pictures, video, news and views by texting GS NEWS to 80360, or email us
Stroud District Loyalty Card scheme, which offers promotions to local shops as well as McDonalds and Subway, is proving a great success
2:00pm Wednesday 13th March 2013 in News By Daniel Chipperfield
A LOYALTY card scheme aimed at helping businesses in the district has proved to be a great success.
The Stroud District Loyalty Card encourages customers to use local businesses by offering exclusive promotions and discounts.
Similar schemes run in eight areas in the country but Stroud is the first to have 100 businesses sign up.
Cllr Roger Sanders, executive member for regeneration, said it was great news that the card was proving so successful.
"Whilst similar schemes are being run in a few towns, we're the first to run the scheme across an entire district. We want to help our high streets and encourage local people to buy from local businesses," he said.
"Our shops, cafes, restaurants and tradespeople are open for business and this card helps show that."
To use it, customers simply show their loyalty card to participating businesses to get the offer.
Residents can pick up their cards from tourist information centres, the Ebley Mill council offices or at participating businesses listed at www.my-loyalty-card.com/stroud Any business can sign up, whether an independent or big-chain store, and can do so by emailing email@example.com

The Oscar winner is no stranger to playing complex roles. He knows how to play dominating characters that end up being kind of troubled, his roles. But is it too similar to his role as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho?
Jun 18, 2012
I Have just finished reading all 3 books & i loved them. If one pays attention & understands them,its agreat kinky love story,very little vulgar language than I anticipated an a little Dom & Sub mixed in.Its20 12 & lets wake up already. My married friends are heads over heels about it. I would love to see Christian Bale as Grey and ? as for Ana but not Enna Watson & maybe Heather Locklear or Nicole Kidman as the witchy, bitchy Mrs Robinson. Honestly i wish this story didnt have to end. Maybe E L James will continue this fabulous story. I Loved It.
ReplyI love Christian Bale as Christian Grey. The man exudes confidence and could make the role amazing. Not to mention, the man is drop dead gorgeous.....He could definitely get the job done.. So what if he is 38, he does not look his age and he has the wisdom for the part. Please, please cast Bale as Christian Grey.....
ReplyI think Ryan Kwanten should play they role of Christian Gray. He's a great actor he could be 50 shades no probs.
ReplyI would think after the next batman installment that Bale will be top in peoples minds and he will be associated with feelings that people want more of him due to batman ending. Not sure if that makes sense but i think people will translate those feelings to the actor.
ReplyChristian Grey is supposed to be drop dead gorgeous. And tall and built. Most of your suggestions are too old, too wimpy or too downright ugly. Shame Somerhalder wasn't taller and fairer, because he projects HOT. If Liam Hemsworth was older and had a bit more of a bad boy image, he would be ideal. Suggest Cam Gigandet or a no name. Jessica Lowndes for Ana. She is supposed to look beautiful, pale and intelligent, which most of your suggestions do not. They look like Disney studio cast-offs. Love to see Nicole Kidman play Elena (Mrs Robinson).

I was wondering if it would be possible to come off insulin if I ate very low carb and excercised enough to keep my bg down? Has anyone ever tried this? What are the risks if I decide to try this?
Simply put? No, that is not possible. Your body no longer makes insulin everyone needs insulin to live. The only time this is possible (and perhaps you heard of this?) is when someone is in their honeymoon period. I see you are ten years into diagnosis. If you have been using insulin for ten years and maintaining decent blood sugars, you need to continue doing so. You can, if you want, reduce your insulin needs by eating very low carb and exercising, but you will always need insulin. Unfortunately that is what Type 1 is about. If anyone told you different, they are ignorant. Sorry to be so blunt and I know that this is not what you want to hear. Perhaps you can talk a bit about why you are asking this?
Your most immediate risk is going into DKA
When you're not getting insulin, this can happen even if your BG isn't that high. I wouldn't recommend it.
Hi Unknown Diabetic. Your profile says that you were diagnosed in 2002, so you are clearly past the honeymoon stage. It would be extremely risky to go off insulin. Testing often, you can lower your basal and your boluses gradually as you lower your carbs and increase your exercise. Please don't go off cold turkey, and test, test, test. The risk if you try? DKA.
My mom used to try and get me off the insulin in many "cures" at the time. I just want to tell u that that's not the best desion at all. U really rick DKA during that. If ur a Type 1 u will always be insulin dependant. Sorry to give u the bad news but PLEASE don't try that!!!
One significant issue is that a non-diabetic body is producing insulin 24 hours a day to cover your basal needs and there is simply no way for a diabetic body to replicate that without the aid of exogenous insulin. Low carb and exercise just can't cut it once you're insulin dependent.
That is not physically possible. T1s produce little to no insulin. You don't just need insulin to break down foods, but also for your body to perform basic metabolic processes associated with life. Dr. Allen was able to keep a handful of newly-diagnosed T1 diabetics alive on his starvation diet, but in hindsight, his diet was likely just taking advantage of the honeymoon period generally experienced after the onset of T1. His starvation diet just made it possible for some folks to stay alive a little longer. But even if you ate NO carbs and exercised like a fiend, your BG would still go up and you would still go into DKA and eventually die without insulin.
Why would you want to do this?
Years ago I found a self-published book online about a guy who was diagnosed with T1 and refused to take insulin. He went on the old school, pre-insulin diet of boiled veggies. I regret not buying the book because I haven't been able to find it since. I think it would take extreme discipline, and even then any highs would take a long time to come down without insulin.
I pretty much agree with most comments proffered, a few additional things: what about when you get sick? Or incapacitated in some way that prevents exercise? If you do go off insulin (though I'm recommending that you don't), I would make sure to always have spare insulin around... and just a point about exercise (though I might be wrong), the blood glucose lowering effect is caused by faster insulin circulation/ distribution to cells, too!
Even exercise is iffy. For the last two weeks, every time I walk my BG goes up. I used to be able to walk down a high BG; now it just gets higher. I'm frustrated!
Yeah, same for me. Some forms of exercise will make me go low, but some have the opposite effect and make me go high. From what my endo recently told me, this is a specific issues with T1s. T2s generally still produce some insulin, so exercise will make them more sensitive to the insulin produce and therefore bring down BGs. However, because T1s produce no insulin, if we don't have enough injected/infused insulin circulating in our system, exercise can actually cause our BGs to RISE because of the other hormones that are frequently released during intensive exercise. I know when I go out for a fast-paced run or do any kind of sprinting or any physical activity that causes some sort of adrenaline rush, my BG goes UP.

For Cairo Protesters, 'The Revolution Is Not Over'
By Mark Memmott
Originally published on Mon November 21, 2011 12:38 pm
From Cairo's Tahrir Square, where three days of clashes between authorities and thousands of protesters have left more than 20 people dead and more than 1,700 injured, NPR's Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson says the Egyptians who have taken to the streets again:
"Want an acknowledgement that what has been happening" — continued repression of speech, jailing of critics and crackdowns on dissent — "is a continuation of [former President Hosni] Mubarak's regime; that, in fact, the revolution is not over."
Neither side appears willing to budge, Soraya adds.

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals placed defensive end Jamaal Anderson on injured reserve Tuesday.
Anderson tore his quadriceps late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 34-27 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
A free-agent signing during the offseason, Anderson tallied 24 tackles and three sacks with the Indianapolis Colts last year.
In addition, Cincinnati inked defensive end Wallace Gilberry, who had 14 career sacks over his first four seasons with the Chiefs.

Elizabeth A. Silverman: On the Stand
POSTED: 11:16 AM Friday, August 27, 2010BY: Douglas Levy
TAGS: adoption, alimony, business litigation, custody, Elizabeth A. Silverman P.C., Family Law, General Practice Section of the State Bar of Michigan
Attending parochial school was as much an early introduction to litigation for Elizabeth A. Silverman as it was religious education. For seven years, Silverman, the daughter of a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, attended Our Lady of La Salette in Berkley. She recalled the daily religious class as contentious. "I didn't like the fact [...]

Electronic Arts brought their A-Game to Gamescom this year, that much is apparent. With strong showings from Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Battlefield 3, Dead Space 3, Crysis 3 and even more great games outside of the first-person shooter genre, EA has much to be proud of.
We wanted to make sure that none of the great conferences went under your radar. With the flood of news and media coming out of Cologne, Germany, this is a real risk. Some of what EA had to show off, included:
- Battlefield 3 Premium Press Conference
- Crysis 3 Presentation, With Rasmus Hojengaard of Crytek
- Dead Space 3 Presentation, With Jesse Abney of Visceral Games
Plus, you can check out the Medal of Honor: Warfighter presentation embedded above. Enjoy!

Harris Corp. expects bids in the next few weeks for its radio and television transmission equipment division.
Company CEO Bill Brown tells Wall Street analysts that Harris is "out in the marketplace with offering materials," according to a Seeking Alpha transcript of the company's latest earnings call. The response has been "very, very good" and he reiterates the company is on track to close a deal by the end of this calendar year.
When asked by one analyst what the proceeds of that sale might be, Brown said it's too early in the process to discuss that. "We'll wait until we actually get a deal done."
Harris said in May it was getting out of the broadcast transmission business after determining that the division was no longer aligned with the company's long-term strategy. Harris intends to sell the assets and use the proceeds to invest in growing its core businesses, like two-way radios and other communications used by the military.
Since the announcement, industry watchers have been wondering whether any one entity is large enough to buy the entire radio-TV asset package or whether it would be split-up and sold in smaller bundles.
To my recollection, the current Harris company was hardly a BROADCASTING business when it began...maybe it sounds strange to some that companies we've known but our brief lives are no longer doing what we expect, but the evolution is making sense more often. Boy, it sure is sad though. Harris, Gates and so many others gave us our lives as we know them. I hope that whoever gets it will too.

text: The entire CONCACAF family offers our most heartfelt condolences to Miguel Calero's family, friends and loved ones and extends sympathy for the recent passing of one of the best goalkeepers in Mexican football of our time and a key player of Pachuca CF. After an impressive path in international football, we are proud of Calero's legacy throughout the course of his short life. The region has not only lost a great talent, but, foremost, a great human being. We hope his family may find consolation in the fervent admiration and expression of condolences from his many followers. Colombian-born Calero was captain of Pachuca in Mexico. With the Tuzos, he won four national championships, three CONCACAF Champions Cups, one Copa Sudamericana and one SuperLiga. On October 23, 2011, Calero played his last game with Pachuca and retired from football. Calero was hospitalized on November 26, 2012, after suffering from a cerebral thrombosis at his home in Pachuca. After suffering a second cerebral thrombosis episode, Calero was pronounced dead on Tuesday. Today, the entire Confederation mourns the loss of a remarkable individual, a fantastic athlete and a loyal friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

What's A Zine?
What's A Zine? Part 1
Written by Elizabeth J.M.W.
What's a zine? (pronounced zeen)
In a way, zines are do-it-yourself (DIY) magazines, but not necessarily how you think of magazines such as
, or
. They are independently published little booklets, often created by a single person. These booklets are often put together by gluing together words and pictures onto pages that are then photocopied, folded and stapled. Or they can be created on the computer and printed off. These are what you would call paper zines, for there are also e-zines that exist only on the internet and in paper form.
What are zines about?
Zines can be about any topic you can think of. There could be zines of fiction stories, or poems, comic zines, zines all about pickles, zines full of vegan recipes, politics, zines on how to fix your bike, and there's even zines on zines (like the paper version of this, or
Stolen Sharpie Revolution
by Alex Wrekk).
There are certain titles for popular types of zines, such as: perzine, which is short for personal zine, which means it is a non-fiction zine, about true events. Litzines (literature zines) are zines of fiction stories, compzines (compilation zines) are zines put together by more than one person.
Zines often have a title, such as Monkey Island, and the zine would come out in numbered issues (ex. Monkey Island #2). The zines would generally have the same idea through each issue, such as Monkey Island being a perzine written by a monkey living on an island. There can also be one-shot or one-off zines, which are zines that are made with the intention of there not being any more issues after it.
How do I find zines?
There are many ways to find zines, and thanks to the internet it is very easy. There are places called "distros" (short for distribution) that are like online stores that sell zines. You can also use places like Yahoo! Groups or MySpace Groups to find zines groups where people will post about having made a new zine, about their zine distros, ask questions about making zines, etc. You can also find zines by reading review zines such as
Broken Pencil
Zine World
, or
Xerography Debt
links here
Zines usually cost about one or two dollars and since you usually receive zines through the mail you sometimes have to pay for postage or send stamps if you are within the same country. If you are sending cash in the mail you should always hide it well by concealing bills in sheets of paper. If sending coins you should tape the coins to cardboard so they won't rip through the envelope and get lost in the mail.
Often zinesters (a person who makes zines) will use an alias (a different name that is not their own) so it isn't a good idea to send cheques. If ordering through the internet some zinesters use PayPal (a secure way of transferring funds using the internet). Zinesters don't always deal in money though; you could trade your own zine for their zine, or trade other objects such as beads, stickers, postcards, candy, etc. It's always a good idea to ask the zinester first if they accept trades and if so, what kind of trade.
In some cities there may be stores that sell zines. There also may be libraries that have zines collections.
As said before, zines can be on anything, so not all zines are appropriate to all audiences and zines are not censored or rated in any way (which generally is a good thing). If you do not wish to receive zines on certain subjects when ordering zines make sure you fully understand what you are ordering. For some zines that are not appropriate for younger people the zinesters will ask for a statement that says you are at least 13, or whichever age they feel appropriate. There are also some zines that deal with topics that may be triggering to people who have certain conditions, such as being bipolar or depressed. Sometimes there will be warnings on these zines, but sometimes there are not.

Ratings & Reviews
Brilliant Speaker with essential feature missing (for me and maybe others)
I read glowing reviews of this online, and I have to say the sound lives up to them. I can't believe this thing can fill my room w ith clear, non-distorted sound.
The problem - this is a portable speaker, you're meant to take it on the road. The battery life is middling (5 hours stated, nowhere near it) and that would be fine except there's no USB port to charge it with. So, every time you need to charge, it's old-school mains adapter time. I don't want to carry an extra mains adapter in an age where everything except my macbook charges off USB. Every other Bluetooth speaker I've seen has a mini USB charging port, and I'm certain the second version of this will.
I'm taking it back, but if this doesn't bother you, it's an amazing sound, easy pairing and great design …- Written by simon B from New York

Don't be put off...
...by the lack of a decent product photo. It tells you nothing about this little gem. I was in the Apple Store recently listenin g to another small speaker for my iPad and discussing its sound quality with another potential buyer. Meanwhile, an Apple salesperson was fiddling around with the bluetooth setup of this speaker and his iPhone. When the sound came through the JBL, the other customer and I were very pleasantly surprised. Wow! Crisp, and deep sound that took command of the open environment. Think of what it would sound like in my space. We both bought one. I dig it so much, I'm buying another as a X-mas present. …

kills the jambox
this speaker is the best of the small bluetooth speaker,bar none. i think i know audio and i have done alot of research. granted i ts not my macintoch/thorens/jbl or the klipsch 5 way on my computer, but i wanted something portable with no distortion. i hate distortion!!!!!!!! i own a jambox, what a disappointment!!! THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE JAMBOX. SO IF YOU WANT GOOD SOUND IN A SMALL PACKAGE, TRY THIS ONE I KNOW YOU WILL AGREE. $99. CHEAPER THAN THE BEST PRICE ON A JAMBOX …

Believe the hype
I was looking for a speaker that sounded good and was semi portable. I wasn't sure about this speaker at first because it wasn't s etup at the store to test out. I got it home and it sounds great, don't let the looks fool you. I thought it was going to be a flat sounding portable speaker. But what this is a rich sounding portable speaker. You can't go wrong with this speaker if you are looking for a small portable speaker that has decent sound. …

Sounds Great When it Wants to
I had high hopes of this speaker after all the great reviews it got. But when I got home and tried it out it was horrible. After c harging it for 3 hours, the speaker sounded low and muffled as if it had been submerged in water. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and hoped that I just gotten the bad one of the bunch and exchanged it for another. The second one wouldn't connect at all to my MacBook, or iPad. I finally got it to work on my phone and it sounded great (which is why I gave it two stars) but it would skip parts of the song or glitch too much making it hard to enjoy the music. I wouldn't recommend it at all unfortunately. …

Great product ! Worth to buy
I got it today, bought it IDR 1,300,000 or its about $130 in Indonesia, I decided to returned my JBL micro ( slightly cheaper $ 80 in indonesia ) and chose JBL flip as replacement, personally compared to JBL micro, JBL flip have more deep bass, clear sound, and loud, plus easy to connect to any Bluetooth device and i don't have any issues with the Bluetooth connection.

Best Answer
I just bought the JBL FLIP with a goal of pairing with my iphone and macbook pro.
However the iphon e paired easily but the macbook pro would not, the wheel kept spinning looking for a device. I finally gave up and decided to head back to the Apple store. First I went to my barber for a haircut and was discussing the pairing problem. He had a bluetooth device (not JBL)and the instructions said the hold down the on/off switch until you see the pairing take place. I went home and tried this and it worked. I can now pair to my iphone and macbook pro. I have to say that the instructions for the JBL are horrible. Shame on them. So to pair just click on the bluetooth inon on the top bar then click on "Set up Bluetooth device" - Now turn on the JBL and hold the power button down until you see the message on the laptop that the JBL FLIP is paired. Now enjoy the sound from the JBL. Hope this helps. And thanks to my barber :) …- Answered by Ed N from Carmel

The hardest thing to manage during reinvention time is our fear. And to make it worst, we have SO many fears screaming in our head constantly, we can't think straight.
What to do?
Step 1: Do your fear inventory. This is recommended once a day (the alternative is taking lots of drugs–this is much cheaper and more effective) (BTW, I learned of this tool from www.onetaste.us I thank them everyday for this gift.)
Step 2: send this to your coach to be witnessed and released.
Step 3. Do your Alpha Breathing. (I will write a new post for that)
Instructions for Fear Inventory:
1. Find a private place to sit for 30 minutes.
2. Pull up a blank piece of paper or a fresh doc on your computer.
3. Take a minute to reflect on a person, issue or experience that has been triggering or nagging you recently. This is the resentment you will start with – a resentment being a though that is "re-sent" again and again.
4. Write your inventory according to the format below
5. Meditate for 15 minutes
6. Call one of your group leaders and read your inventory to them
7. Tear up your inventory and throw it away, or delete the doc.
8. Repeat as needed, at least daily!
Fear Inventory Structure
"God/Buddha/Guides/Ancestors/Angels/spirit/etc…*, I am resentful (or scared or fearful) at ___________ (person, institution, idea, experience, situation), because:
i have fear that ______________________________
i have fear that ______________________________
i have fear that ______________________________ etc. (this can go on for pages)
At the end of your inventory, write this prayer:
God, I ask you to remove these fears. I pray only for knowledge of your will for us and your power to carry that out for _______________________ (the names of the people, things etc that showed up in your resentments)."
God, I am fearful and resentful right now, because:
I am so scared that I wont make it.
I have fear that I am failing
I have fear that I don't have the confidence necessary to do any job
I have fear that I will be revealed as not good enough
I have beliefs that I am not good enough, that I suck, I will never find my way out of this mess.
I have doubts that I don't know how to make money, or attract the right people, and that I am forever doomed to be alone.
God*, I ask you to remove these fears. I pray only for knowledge of your will for us and your power to carry that out for me and calm my fears.
I am willing to surrender u my beliefs that I suck, that I am not good enough, and will forever be alone.
*If you're not comfortable with using the word "God", substitute it for your higher power, or any force more powerful than you. Spirit, Universe, Death… whatever works!

I had to buy a case of beer for this trip; it was my first camping trip ever: a five day, four night trip to Jemez Falls, NM--a trip that was nothing short of an adventure. For John and me, the adventure began the night before we left, at 10:00 p.m., two hours after we had gone to sleep. That was when Janice (John's sister) called us to tell us that we didn't have to stop by her place first. While I talked to Janice, John rolled over and turned off the alarm clock, which had been set for 4:30 in the morning (because we had to meet his parents at 5:30). Needless to say, we did not wake up at 4:30. What woke me up was John's "Oh shit, we're late!" at 5:20. We dashed out of bed, and John called his parents to tell them, "We're on our way out the door!" as we scrambled to get ready. Ten minutes later, we were in the car, racing towards Paradise Valley to at least be there by six o'clock. Upon our arrival, we passed the blame off on Janice then loaded our things into the motor home. About two miles down the road, Bill (John's father) realized that he had left the garage door open, so he sent Janice and her boyfriend, Danny, back to the house to close it. Meanwhile, we continued on towards I-17 North; Janice and Danny would meet up with us at the last rest area before Flagstaff...or so we hoped. We stopped at the rest area and waited; ten minutes later, we saw Janice and Danny drive right by us! But those were minor incidents compared to what happened next. Around ten o'clock in the morning, as we were approaching Holbrook, one of the tires on the trailer (which had been towing Erika's car) blew out. John pulled the RV off to the side of the highway to inspect the damage: the tire was shot, and the cover had been destroyed. Anybody else would have called for AAA - or, if they didn't have AAA, they would have admitted defeat - but not the Verleys. I came to find out that, for this family, disaster was a way of life while on vacation, but they never let that stop them. After the tire (or what was left of it) had been removed, Bill took Erika's car into Holbrook to buy a new one, leaving the rest of us (Erika, John and myself) on the side of the highway. What else was there to do but start drinking beer...at ten o'clock in the morning! We opened up three cans of Miller Lite, poured them into plastic cups, and toasted the flat tire. It was then that I pointed out that the situation could have been much worse: we could have been at work. Forty minutes later (or less), Bill returned with the new tire, and soon we were on the road again. The problems, however, didn't end there. The RV began to overheat several times, so we had to stop to put water in the radiator. We formed an assembly line, pouring water from the sink into pitchers and delivering them to John, who poured them into the spout. We also ran out of gas at one point and barely made it to the service station to fill up. Finally, we reached Albuquerque; just outside of Albuquerque, we stopped to unhitch the car so that Bill could do some repairs on the motor home. He sent John and me to True Value several times before telling us to continue on ahead to the campground; they would catch up to us later. Our mission was also to find Janice and Danny, who were at least an hour ahead of us, after having left us behind when we blew the tire. We were also to meet up with John's Aunt Lotte and Uncle Richard, who would be joining us at the campground in Jemez Falls. Along the way, we encountered construction (road rage) and heavy traffic (road rage). At some points, we were traveling at thirty miles per hour on State Highway 85 (road rage). By the time we reached the turn off for Jemez, John and I were exhausted and starving, so we stopped at the T-Freeze (not to be confused with the Tastee-Freeze) to get hamburgers and French fries. As we gulped down our food, we started up the Jemez Mountains. At first, we were still in high desert, but as we ascended the mountain, we began to see a lot of deciduous trees and red rock, which reminded us of Sedona. "But where are the pine trees?" John asked himself. We were told that we would be camping at an elevation of 8,000 feet and that we would be in tall pines. His friend Glen, who had been to the Jemez Mountains, told us that, yes, there would be tall pines. "Damn Glen," John said out loud. "He lied to us! He must be on drugs or something." Of course, we were without a map, so we didn't know that we still had much further to go before we would reach the campground. In other words, we were lost. When we reached the village of Jemez Springs, John stopped at the local bar to ask for directions. Lucky for us, the forest ranger had just finished his shift and was in the bar, enjoying a drink. He told us that we still had about twenty miles to go, and he gave John directions on how to get there. Finally, at five o'clock in the evening, we arrived at the Jemez Falls fee area campground, only to find that we were the last to arrive; even the motorhome was there before us. (We're not quite sure how that happened, but we think that they passed us while we were waiting for our food at the T-Freeze.) I was introduced to Lotte and Richard, and later I was told of a recent bet between Erika, Lotte, and their mother. The three of them had placed bets on which grandchild (John, Janice, or Richard) would be the first to get married. Lotte had picked John...or actually, had gotten stuck with John by process of elimination. Seeing that John had a girlfriend, Lotte became optimistic -- to which John muttered under his breath, "Jesus Christ, we just met two months ago!" That evening, I received my first lessons in camping. First, I learned how to pitch a tent. Second, I learned how to inflate an air mattress. Third, I learned how to zip two sleeping bags together. Fourth, I learned the concept of "white man's fire" ("white man build big fire, sit back and freeze"). And finally, after I had consumed large amounts of alcohol, I learned how to get my shy bladder to pee in the woods. It didn't take me long to perfect this precious skill; several hours later, at one o'clock in the morning, while the rest of the campers were asleep, I crawled out of the tent, naked as the day I was born, to take a leak...and I didn't care! John followed to do the same and was amazed with what I had done. (Of course, he was also naked -- hence the title Naked in the Woods.) After we had done our duty, he took me into his arms, and we gazed up at the stars...until it became too cold to continue doing so, at which time we scurried back to the tent and to the warmth of our sleeping bags. The next morning, John proudly related the story to his family, telling them that if a bear shit in the woods, he would have seen my bare ass. We were awakened early that morning by the sound of elk, so John and I took Erika's car to go exploring in search of wildlife. Now that I knew about John's fascination for unpaved and often unnumbered roads, I was prepared for the bumpy ride. A few miles up the road, he found a dirt road and abruptly turned onto it. Then, all of the sudden, he stopped. "Look!" he exclaimed. "Wildlife!" "Where?" I asked, and with that, John opened up the car door, revealing a dead rabbit. I called him a sick bastard, and, gloating, he continued onwards. We traveled down side roads and side roads of side roads, but by that time, all of the elk had gone into hiding and we returned to camp in disappointment. Later that morning, we all decided to go hiking. From our campsite, it was about a third of a mile to the trailhead, from which you could take two trails: the Jemez Falls Trail, which was a quarter-mile trail leading to Jemez Falls; and the Battleship Rock Trail, a five mile trail that was mostly downhill, leading to the McCaulley Hot Springs and to Battleship Rock (a descriptive name). We did this trail as a two-car shuttle; Lotte and Richard parked their truck at the trail's end so that we would only have to hike it one way. The trail was very scenic; it began in the tall pines and began to descend as we approached the creek. The creek led us to the hot springs, where we all stopped to take a swim. The water was wonderful; the temperature of the springs must have been eighty degrees, for it felt like lukewarm bath water. It was very refreshing. Later, the trail began to wind its way into more deciduous trees and red rock as we neared the Jemez River and Battleship Rock, which could be seen in the distance, as we began to hike down a series of switchbacks. By this time, John and I had gotten separated from the other hikers - Erika and Bill were ahead of us, and the rest were behind us. We regrouped at the trailhead; but instead of returning to camp, we drove into town to get some more supplies - more specifically, beer and sodas, because we were almost out of each. While at the store, John and I found tubes of crushed and dried habañeros and cracked Cajun pepper. However, John had forgotten his wallet, so we agreed that we would return later to buy some. During the afternoon, we took a drive to the "Brain Cave", as Janice had called it. Actually, it was called Soda Dam, a natural rock structure with a waterfall and a cave that looked like brains, according the Janice. Inside the cavern could be found a small pool of water, the sides of which looked like the scales of a fish; and the walls of the cave were the same colors as those on the tie-dyed T-shirt John was wearing: bright greens and blues. The adventurer in John grew bored of the cave quickly; he decided that rock climbing would be more enjoyable. He climbed to the top of the rock structure, jumped over the waterfall, and sat down to watch the water rush by. It looked like fun, so I did the same thing and eventually joined him at the waterfall. After returning to camp that evening, Janice and I were sent to get firewood; then, I asked John to help me wash my hair - something that had not been done in days (I meant to do it Thursday morning, the day we left, but we didn't have time to shower that morning for obvious reasons). I was much happier after my hair was clean. John then pointed out to me that I was adapting to camping life better than he expected and that he was proud of me. I told him that camping wasn't so bad and that I was actually enjoying it. He was happy to hear that. The next morning, John and I decided to hike to Jemez Falls; Janice and Danny and Danny's fourteen year-old cousin Brian (who was with us on this camping trip) joined us. The trail to Jemez Falls is a quarter-mile long trail with lots of ups and downs; it ends up at a low brick wall overlooking the waterfalls, but if you continue on a little further, the trail cuts through boulders and goes down to the Jemez River. We found a group of children swimming there. This section also gives a much nicer view of the waterfalls - from the very top of them. While we were hiking, the older folks had left for Santa Fe, and we were to meet them there at 11:30 that afternoon. Once we returned from Jemez Falls, we quickly cleaned up and put on nice clothes for our trip into civilization. I rode shotgun during the drive to Santa Fe, and John put me in charge of navigating (but only because he almost got us killed when he tried to read the map while driving!). While studying the map, I happened to find an unpaved and unnumbered road that would provide us with a shortcut to where we wanted to go. However, we could not find the road! Most of the dirt roads in that area led into private property and were gated. The others that we tried were very bad roads and were definitely for four-wheel drive vehicles only (and since we had Erika's car, we decided not to do it). So, a bit discouraged, we stuck to the paved roads all the way to Santa Fe. During the trip, we came to the conclusion that New Mexico drivers were, by nature, the worst drivers, because John's road rage was nearly at its peak. The New Mexican driving skills became worse in Santa Fe -- that, along with poorly planned and confusing surface streets, made John very frustrated. It took us nearly a half an hour to find a parking space, and when we did, it was in a fee area because we were in the very heart of a tourist trap. Frustrated, John led us to the appointed meeting place; then, we went off alone to have lunch. Once John and I were alone, he began to calm down - and once he had eaten lunch, he seemed to be much happier. We had lunch at a trendy, moderately priced restaurant that served southwestern cuisine - kind of like Carlsbad Tavern without the bats. As an appetizer, we were served green chili and cheese corn muffins that were surprisingly delicious! We spent most of our lunch trying to figure out the recipe so that we could make them at home. After lunch - and after window-shopping - we met up with the others. John was in a hurry to leave that godforsaken city, and since he was driving, we were leaving. During the trip, we tried once again to find the dirt road shortcut to no avail. However, we did find a road that took us over an earthen dam - one of the largest in the world - and we drove over it twice. From the dam, we got some great aerial views of the Rio Grande (which we crossed a total of fourteen times during the trip; we kept track). We had been told to meet John's parents and Lotte and Richard at a bar near our campsite, so the five of us stopped there and had a few drinks while waiting for them to show up. Then, we returned to camp. Wine was already being served; Lotte and Richard had opened up several bottles of Old South wine, from South Carolina, and John and I graciously accepted it. After several glasses, John lay down on the picnic table, his head in my lap. Within minutes, he was sound asleep and snoring like a buzz saw. At first, his snoring was hilarious, but after a half an hour or so it was a nuisance, so we made him go to the tent to sleep. The next morning, when I woke up, I felt like death warmed over. I had one hell of a hangover, thanks to the Old South wine (or so we say). I tried to drink some coffee and take some aspirin in hopes that it would go away, but I was so miserable that I could only crawl back into the tent to die. Hours later, I was fine. By that time, all of the others had gone hiking (and Janice and Danny and Brian were getting ready to leave) so John and I went off on our own hike. While on the Battleship Rock Trail, we had found a side trail that looked to be a deer trail, leading back to camp. We decided to take this trail back to the Battleship Rock Trail and then continue on towards Jemez Falls. That morning, John tried to find a way to get to the bottom of Jemez Falls, but it was too dangerous even for his adventurous spirit, so he gave up. We hiked back down the Jemez Falls Trail to the trailhead; from there, we found another trail to hike: a 1.5 to two mile long trail that follows a river. Most of this hike was pretty level. It began as a series of switchbacks leading down to the river. We followed the river for some time; then, as we reached the end of the trail, we gradually climbed out of the gap, through a lovely meadow, and up to the highway. We found Richard's truck parked across the road, at another trailhead; and we waited for them in hopes that we could hitch a ride back to camp. After a while, we gave up and returned the way we had come. Later that day, we went exploring with John's parents - and I learned that John did indeed learn how to drive like that from his daddy! We also drove into Jemez Springs for lunch at the local bar and eatery; and for dessert, we got ice cream from a little mom-and-pop café across the road. We returned to Jemez Springs that night for dinner, this time with Lotte and Richard. Monday morning, it was time to go, so we dropped camp and said our good-byes to Lotte and Richard. Then we hit the road. It was already rush hour by the time we arrived in Phoenix ("Welcome back to civilization!"); and, of course, when we arrived at the Verleys' house, we had one more disaster waiting for us: John's car had a flat tire! And so, I survived my first camping trip...and I even enjoyed it! In fact, when we got home, I told John that I wanted to do it again. I liked roughing it -- and I loved being naked in the woods. John was happy to hear that, so later that week, we bought our first tent... |
