3.21/5 rDev -5%
Appearance is beautiful. A nice, solid off-white head on a golden-red body.
Nose is sour and almost Belgian. Not a fan.
Flavor is clean and crisp, but the hop contribution is a bit muddled. Is it rich and piney? Fruity and citrusy. Just a sharp bite? None of these. I found it generally tasty, but hard to isolate and describe the flavors.
Mouthfeel is moderately stripping and tart. Slight acidity, even.
Overall, (if you ignore the sour nose), it's good. I like it well enough, but it is not singular enough for me to want to seek out more.

I have to drink my anger away after watching a disgusting display of officiating in Iowa City today.Poured into an imperial pint glass a hazed peach color with a nice tight 1/2 finger clingy white head.Aromas of tangerines and light grapefruit intmingled with caramel/biscuit malt,not overly assertive but decent.A little light in the mouth and not overly assertive hops makes again for a decent beer but not great by any means.Fruity hop flavors and not overly bitter.

A decent IPA with a good flavor, but not too hoppy. Slight citrus aroma and aftertaste makes for an easy to drink beer. Wish that there was a little more hoppiness and a little less citrus flavor.
From what thier literature says, all of their beers are only available in 22oz bottles. Would love to try one of their yet-to-be-released Exponential Series beers!

Good looking copper colored beer, 3/4" white head on the top. Really white, whiter than normal for an ipa. Aroma, eh, for boasting about a five hop variety, its kind of hard to tell this was dry hopped with anything, much less five different kinds. It wasn't offputting, it frankly just smelled like a normal Cascade hopped pale ale from back in the 90s.
Taste, again, hops aren't really all that special in this beer. Good caramel presence, hop bitterness is all I can really detect going on in a good way. I didn't get any fruit, be it tropical or citrus flavors from the hops. No bottle dating, so maybe that may have been the problem, but maybe they should bottle date? I dunno. In my experience, this undated bottle was pretty much middle ground to average. I've had some people talk up Epic's stuff, but I really haven't been super impressed, in fact, given the price of some of their stuff (not this one), I have actually been disappointed at times.

This label says to discover the three levels of Epic Brewing: Classic, Elevated, and Exponential. This beer around 5.50 a bomber at least according to Ohio pricing seems fair for an IPA. Pours a clouded orange hue with a bright white head forming thick and leaving behind some even lacing. Aroma has a strong citrus pith accent with white cranberry/apricot jelly notes. Spicy hops, fruitiness, and citrus are the three components I'm smelling during the initial whiff stage. As I dive into my first sip of this "Epic" Spiral Jetty IPA, more citrus rind bitterness, a hint of yeast spiciness, leading to a dry finish. More biscuit malts with hints of citrus pith, turning into a decent IPA. Mouthfeel drying finish with biscuit malt profile even keeled carbonation nice finishing medium bodied drinking IPA. Solid IPA not earth shattering West Coast I must kill for this beer but good flavors and interesting enough to keep my drinking.

22oz bottle served in a Sam Adams lager glass.
Pours a hazy golden-amber color with a large, foamy, white head. The head has good retention and leaves plenty of sticky lacing.
Plenty of hops in the aroma. They are most obviously fruity, including grapefruit and lime, but the aroma is more complex and includes floral, herbal and spicy notes. The taste does not parallel the nose in that the flavor is more purely citrusy, especially orange, and not nearly as bitter as one expects given the nose or the IPA classification. This is fine with me, and I enjoyed having a mildly bitter, orange-tinted aftertaste rather than the usual bitter grapefruit effect. There is some bready malt flavor present, but there must be a good bit of light malt in here to counter or mask so much of the bitterness.
M: medium carbonation is closer to being too high than too low; Medium-light body has a trace of watery feel. Crisp with a little sharpness.
O: a very drinkable, rather mild (for style), and markedly orangish IPA. Recommended.

I was very impressed with a few beers recently from these guys. I bought this at Total wine and poured at 40 degrees.. This beer has a straw color with a slight head that disappears very quickly. The aroma is quite lacking it smells to me of dank heavy first wort hoping, and light on the dry hoping. The taste to me is of bitter dank Chinook with little of a flavor profile. It does leave good lacing so it states to me this is a 90% 2 row and 5% carapils and 5% crystal 10/20! I find some esters that leave this beer off balance, and the heavy bittering hop addition overpowers the layered flavoring hop additions! To me it does get legs as it gets in the 50 degree range, but it still needs some specialty grains to give it a full flavor profile. Right now it is just a dank IPA with limited flavor!

Poured from an inch or so above the glass gives this beer a big off white head that just sort of sits there before slowly receding somewhat.
The IPA is a clear classic honey colored.
Citrus slightly more than floral or piney hops aroma but it seems all are present.
A light citrus hops taste on this medium bodied beer.
A light dry aftertaste with some hints of the citrus hops lingering.

This beer is nearly amber in color and nearly, but not quite, clear, though very bright. Held up to the light, it shines a bit of a brighter deep gold. A just off-white head rises to nearly two fingers high. Retention is fair, and it leaves a sturdy foam that drops some patchy lacing down the glass.
The aroma offers a nice hops backbone with ample malt support. Hops are primarily piny and resinous with a distinctly minty note underneath. There's a bit of lemon zest/rind throughout, and malt notes are primarily dry and crackery. Hops bitterness is also quite herbal and leafy.
Nothing really surprises in the flavor that wasn't detectable in the aroma. This is a well hopped IPA with ample malts support for good balance. It seems like it would be fairly dry but really isn't. More rind bitterness/zest really comes out in the finish.
The mouthfeel is quite crisp in a medium body, pretty consistent activity creating active carbonation but avoiding over-carbonation. It verges on semi dry, but a bit more dryness pulls into the finish.

3.9/5 rDev +15.4%
slow to rise head that stays shallow, perhaps a finger, but lingers for the duration of the drink.
Beautiful opaque orange in the glass.
Smell is understated, slight hop smell, just a bit of citrus.
Taste is crisp like it might be sweet but no, the hops pulls through, and the colder the pour the more citrus that one notices. Slight pepper notes.
Finishes well, lingers long. Some yeasty/bread taste to compliment the hops but the spice seems to develop even better after swallowing.
One of my favorites from Epic.

Bomber from NJ. pours unfiltered light grapefruit colour, slight off-white head, and lacey. Neutral aroma. average mouthfeel. Appropriate mouthfeel. Not initially drinkable, but over a long warm Fall night (yes it gets warm here sometimes) the light grapefruit, moderately hoppy beer, went down nicely. Kind of middling for the style though.

A - bright orange with a thin, short lived white head
S - piny; incredibly faint nose
T - bready, citrusy, piny
M - well carbonated, thin, light to medium bodied, dry
When I first opened this beer, it was incredibly dry. There was a ton of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. The dryness practically stripped the flavor clean of my palate. Once the beer settled, it came across as less dry, but as it turned out there wasn't much flavor to hide. The flavor was simple and refreshing, but ultimately incredibly underwhelming. This was a rather forgettable IPA, one that I won't be buying again.

I'm liking the Spiral Jetty....this beer probably would have been better had I not tried the Holulent prior. Nevertheless....in Park City, Utah with my homie trying some local flare. The Spiral Jetty poured a hazy with froathy white head that is leaving some lace. The scent is fresh hops that carry slight pine, citrus and some floral tones. The taste is very very good balanced beer with bitterness throughout but enough malt to keep it from being too much. The mouthfeel is medium in body with good carbonation. Overall another excellent offering from Epic....nice job guys...and gals.

3.35/5 rDev -0.9%
A - mostly clear bubbly golden, two tall fingers of head retained amazingly well leaving some random lacing spots
S - grainy and slightly bready, very mild leafy greens, but the aromas are very subdued which often doesn't bode well....
T - solid peppery hops with a touch of leafiness, grainy malts, and a bit of a mint bubble gum thing on the finish
M - light body and lightly creamy, very mild bitterness
O - its not a bad brew at all, just a little on the mild side all around, would be a nice beginner IPA for the not so beer advocate, but still nice to try another from this brewer that is not available in my area

3.15/5 rDev -6.8%
Golden color with some chill haze. Two fingers of head forms and then settling to a thick cap. Light lacing is left behind.
Faint hop aromas of citrus and herbs. Bready malts as well.
Malt flavor is dominant with a rather subdued citrus/herbal hop flavor. Nothing wrong but the brewer did not set the bar very high.
Solid body and nicely carbonated.
Lacks the hop presence to be a good American IPA. If they labeled this an APA it would get a solid score. Priced the same as Arrogant Bastard. Guess which beer I will grab next time?

My family is in a bad situation right now. My grandma is addicted to prescription medication. She goes to different doctors to get at least five bottles of the same stuff, which is illegal. She's also getting a divorce from my grandpa.
My grandma spends a lot of time taking care of my great-grandma who has Alzheimer's. My mom has told my grandma that she needs to take responsibility and get help, but she won't listen! The court served my grandma with papers saying she has to have a guardian because she can't make decisions for herself anymore.
Now my grandma thinks she got served those papers because of my mom (which isn't true). They're going to take my great-grandma away from my grandma and she will have to go into a nursing home, which I really don't want! How can I convince my grandma to get help?
Hey hon, all grandmas are different. Yeah, some are your typical grammie: they knit sweaters, bake cookies and play bingo. But there are other grandmoms who have jobs, still love to travel...or have serious problems. The bottom line is that no one is perfect—no matter how old they may be. Grandmothers are real people, just like you and me. And real people make real mistakes.
It sounds as though your grannie may have turned to prescription drugs as a way to deal with the stress of taking care of your great-grandmother. Alzheimer's is an ugly disease that's especially tough on a caretaker. But that's not an excuse for your grandmother. Chances are, she's ashamed of her addiction, but doesn't know how to ask for help.
Instead of judging your grandma, try talking to her. You could say, "Grandma, I'm really concerned about your health. I love you and want you to get the help you need." Can't say it in person? Show her you care with a heartfelt card. Elderly people are at a higher risk of developing prescription drug abuse than younger people. It's important for your grandmother to know she's not alone.
Treatment is available to help grannie get back on her feet. But she's going to need a lot of love and support from you and your family. The first step is to have your grandmother make an appointment with her doctor. It's a long road to recovery, but with you by her side, your grandma can make it. Best of luck, girl!

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert and coach Mike Tomlin could barely contain themselves on draft day when David DeCastro fell to Pittsburgh at No. 24.
Eight months later, it appears they'll finally get a chance to see him line up at guard in a regular-season game.
Left guard Willie Colon had surgery on his left knee on Monday and could be out for the season. Tomlin said Tuesday that DeCastro will be worked in at right guard during practice this week and could start Sunday when the Steelers (7-6) play at Dallas (7-6).
After quickly earning his way onto the first team, DeCastro sustained a torn MCL during the Steelers' third preseason game and did not return to practice until mid-November. He was in uniform the past two games but only used on special teams.
"We're ready to take the next step," Tomlin said. "Potentially, this week - depending on how that preparation looks."

Rios is sounding like a man convinced that he has a shot at beating Pac. I applaud the guy for having a strong belief in himself. I am actually pulling for Rios in this fight. Its not because I dislike Pac (I do loath his fans), its because Rios is a true L.A Clipper fan. I respect that. My question, is anyone giving Rios a shot to win? By all accounts this is a tune up fight to welcome Pac back. I am not sure if Pac still has what it takes to be the Pac of old. If Rios goes the full 12 rounds and looks good after the fight then I call that a success. He ain't getting a decision, no way. In interviews that Pac has given, he is saying that he is re-dedicated to the sport and that he will not look for the knock out but will box Rios (ha). The only problem with his strategy is that he isn't a boxer and he knows he isn't a boxer. If Pac's strategy is trying to box Rios, this fight maybe interesting. Be prepared for all the nut sucking from HBO commentators.
Alex "Slimmer" Ariza just did an interview saying how it isn't fair that Rios is getting tested and not Pac. He claims he isn't suspicious of Pac but he should still be getting tested like Rios.... Did Alex just tell on himself? Does anyone find it remotely strange that all of a sudden Pac has no problem with additional testing? Did he finally get over his fear or needles and being weakened before the fight? Interesting how the media isn't calling Pac a hypocrite.
If Rios wins, how much credit can we give Ariza?

Forever has always existed.
In the mythology of Oceanic peoples, it's been there along with Darkness and the Sea.
The Earth came from the efforts of Old Spider, who soared over the endless sea and found a giant clam. She opened it and crawled inside, finding a snail there to share the space with her. She set the snail in the west and made it into the Moon to shed some light into the darkness. Together they raised up the top of the clam shell to make the sky, pushing it until it was wide open.
Then they pushed the bottom half of the clam shell in the other direction to make the ground. The earth was called Papa and the sky Ranga. These are the two first beings who created all the flowers, plants, trees and animals on the islands, and fish in the sea.
They celebrated all their open space by making as many beautiful creatures as they could imagine, but they still remained separated by the work of the original Old Spider. Each night, Ranga weeps for his beloved Papa earth, and this is where the morning dew comes from.
Polynesia means "many islands" and when you see these pictures, you will want to visit all of them. To make it simple, the islands sit in a triangle described by connecting Hawaii, New Zealand and Easter Island.
There are over a thousand of these islands of surfer's paradise in the central and south Pacific Ocean. It's stunning. Look at the color of the water here! And the sunset... these speak for themselves. Could you be happy in this little house? How about some reef diving inside a lagoon?
Put this one in full screen and don't come back. Love, 360.

hmmmm....a joke about two teams that are not going to make the playoffs....doesn't seem so funny.
On a bright note....the leafs did play well last night and pulled off a win....now only 4 points out of a playoff birth. I hope they can pull off a playoff birth. There is talent on this team and I think some of that talent is starting to show. Allison has been a man on a mission as of late. Sundin has stepped it up and is playing like someone finally lit a fire under his ass.
Still too slow though.
Good to see some hustle and crashing the net (which a lot of their goals came from last night)
Belfour is done as a leaf
respects to eddie thou, he WAS the man.
hopefully the leafs can pull it off these next two games
Eddie is done....he had a good run at it...too bad the leafs didn't have a good run at it tonight. I couldn't even watch it was such bad hockey. Both teams looked terrible.

The energy boom has certainly put North Dakota on the map, but not all of the jobs are based in the Bakken. Bismarck State College's Careers in Energy Week highlights the various job opportunities in the energy industry.
The oldest energy course is the college's Electrical Lineworker Program. During the course, lessons range from power plant and sub-station work to building power lines. A majority of the lessons take place on a two-acre outdoor training facility in Mandan.
"Our students have a natural love for the outdoors, that's obvious," says instructor Keith Landeis. "They want to be outside. Whenever I do an interview I repeatedly hear that the thought of a desk job drives them crazy.
The outdoor learning space is a big draw for many of Landeis' students.
"I figured it would be great because I like working outdoors, helping out the community, and it's a great way to make money," says student Adam Stevens.
The program started in 1970 with a class of 13 students. Today the course is at it's maximum capacity of 54 students, which speaks volumes to the demand for these types of workers.
"Job demand has been so strong the last few years that either way there's a job placement for them, but naturally the advanced degree will help them probably sooner or later," says Landeis.The program has been at student capacity for several years, and allows students to graduate with a certificate, or continue on with general education to receive and associates degree. After graduation, students must then complete an apprenticeship for four years.

Eau Claire, WI June 5, 2010 (PRESS RELEASE)- A soggy, tarp covered field greeted the Rafters on arrival in Eau Claire today.

Standing room only tickets are still available for the first ever Wisconsin Rapids Rafters game at Witter Field. Extra bleachers are being installed to accommodate opening day walk up crowds. Game time is 6:05.

Thousands of acres of crops are destroyed after mother nature rips through parts of south eastern North Dakota Tuesday.
These pictures tell a small part of the story when it comes to the amount of damage from Tuesday night's hail storm."This is all broken off," says Carrol Duerr, manager of the Colfax Farmer's Elevator.Duerr says in a matter of minutes crops along a three mile stretch just west of town were destroyed."There's nothing left. There's a good chance it's 100 percent gone," says Duerr.From the soy beans to corn. "There's thousands of acres completely stripped," says Duerr.Jeff Olson and his family have farmed land out here for years but he calls himself lucky compared to some of the damage farmers suffered."I'd say we had about a 20 percent crop loss," says Olson.For Anne Nelson, her family didn't suffer any crop damage but she can't say the same for her house."We have to take all the siding off and redo the siding," says Nelson.She says with insurance this will be an easy fix and just hopes farmers will be able to say the same."They should have insurance and we will see with a an assessment just to see how much damage was done."

Summary Details
Miss Fidditch

|Linguistic LingField(s):
History of Linguistics
Regarding query: http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3527.html#1
Summary Miss Fidditch
In Linguist-List 16.3527 I asked
In his ''Two Models of Grammatical Description'' (Word 10 (1954) 210-231),
Charles Hockett writes:
''The description must also be prescriptive, not of course in the Fidditch
sense, but in the sense that by following the statements one must be able
to generate any number of utterances in the language, above and beyond
those observed in advance by the analyst?new utterances most, if not all,
of which will pass the test of casual acceptance by a native speaker.''
Could anyone give me some background about the expression ''Fidditch''? Is
this a real person, a fictional character or something else? Any
information greatly appreciated.
From the many, largely overlapping answers I conclude that Miss Fidditch is
the mythical American school teacher representing the prescriptive
tradition in grammar teaching. She was often evoked by the
Post-Bloomfieldians as representing the opposite to their own view of language.
A number of people pointed me to Martin Joos and more in particular his
"The Five Clocks". The Oxford English Dictionary gives "Miss Fidditch" in
the entry for "Miss", with Joos's Five Clocks as the source of the first
quotation. However, this work dates from 1962, i.e. eight years after my
quotation from Hockett. The expression must have been around before 1954,
because Hockett assumes his readers know it. In a preface to Joos's "Five
Clocks" that the OED dates to 1967, Albert H. Marckwardt gives the
following information about its origin:
''Although Joos mentions Shaw, Goethe, and Wolfram and ignores Ovid, what
he has written is one of the Metamorphoses. He begins with Miss Fidditch,
a character originally named by Henry Lee Smith, Jr., in one of his more
devastating moments but described by H. L. Mencken two decades earlier as
one the old-maid schoolteachers who would rather parse than eat. As she is
described here, 'Webster is one Webster, and Miss Fidditch is his prophet.'
At the end she emerges as Candida, and if she has not quite acquired the
divine insight of her prototype, she has begun to distinguish between
reality on the one hand and follies, illusions, and vanity on the other.
... '' (p.xiv)
I have not been able to find "Miss Fidditch" in Mencken's "The American
Language" but I might have overlooked it. I am not sure whether H.L. Smith
published what Marckwardt refers to, but if anyone has additional
information, in particular a quotation from before Hockett, I would be
happy if they could let me know.
I would like to thank the following people for their replies: Wayles
Browne, Ed Burstynsky, Paul Chapin, Peter T. Daniels, Scott DeLancey,
Stefan Dyla, Harry Feldman, Nancy Frishberg, Clyde Hankey, Earl M. Herrick,

and to Wayles Browne who pointed me to the OED.

Anyone Willing To Run Kingmaker? (Full)
UPDATE: As it has now been just under a month since mazzoli, our original DM, has been seen, our party was hoping that there might be someone else ready to step up to the challenge of running this Kingmaker campaign. We already have an IC thread (http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing...gmaker-ic.html) and an RG (http://www.enworld.org/forum/rogues-...gmaker-rg.html), so other than the fact the the character who was the lynchpin of our party backstory bailed and needs to be either replaced, NPCed, or modified (we can run him if we have to), we are literally ready to go at Oleg's Trading Post. The remaining players, other than myself, are HolyMan, Deuce Traveler, Disposable Hero, and Shayuri.
I was wondering if there might be anyone willing to run a Kingmaker game on this board. Were it not that I have been figuratively dying to play in this campaign for ages, I would think better of inquiring this way, as I did just drop a bunch of games a few weeks ago. But even if I never sign up for any other PbP campaign (which I probably should avoid), this is the one game I would always jump at the chance to get in on (even moreso than 5e, in its current early incarnation).
I have a number of character ideas, though I with the exception of the divine healer niche, I am willing to play whatever the party needs:
The Man From Galt - A lawful neutral wizard who, as a young boy, fled with his parents from anarchy and terror that engulfed Galt. They travelled up the Sellen River, eventually making their way to Brevoy. Raised in a rural community with a strong tradition of venerating Erastil, he hopes to return to Galt someday to restore order to that country.
The Dragon's Bastard - A bastard son of House Rogarvia who hopes to overcome the circumstances of his birth and claim his father's name. A paladin of Erastil, he soon discovers the blood of the red dragons lurking in his veins, which leads him to question the purity of his soul.
The (Un)Happy Bandit - After several years living on the run, he wonders if he can do better than just scraping by thieving and mugging. Good natured and boistful, he fighters with quarterstaff and bow. Something of a darker take on Little John.
The Mute Monk - I am actually quite familiar with the first adventure in the Kingmaker campaign (somewhat familiar with the second, and have never laid eyes on the third to sixth). One way to rectify this (other than good roleplaying), would be to play a monk who has taken a vow of silence. A zen archer who follows Erastil might be quite appropriate, given the setting.
In any case, I know the chances of someone having the time to run another game might be slim, but I felt compelled to ask. Hopefully enough people would be interested in playing in such a game as well to make it worthwhile.

Ilooked into that AP once and don't think it's the kind of game I would run.
But playing - that would be an altogether different matter.

I've read Kingmaker and actually, it seems like it would be better for a PBP than a face-to-face game (at least, with the resource management aspects). I do not have time to run it, unfortunately.

I've always wanted to play Kingmaker. Sadly, I've yet to see a PBP of it last for long.

The problem I see with it in PbP is that decision making takes a long, long, long time to happen in this format. For an overly open setting/sandbox like kingmaker, it could take a week to decide which hex to explore. Then after a few months of that, people have already forgotten what happened in the first few ones, or what they were looking for. I've found in PbP, that there needs to be a bit of a railroad, too much sandboxiness can lead to paralysis. Too much railroad is no fun either, but although this is one of the coolest adventures I've seen, having like 26 or so hexes to get through plus all the bases/dungeons, or whatever you want to call them to explore it just may be too difficult to run.

Backpacker Magazine – October 2010
A 59-mile "long trail" through Pennsylvania.
I live locally and spend much time on the LT. The entire trail is exceptionally well blazed. There are some steep ascents and descents, but they're not technically difficult, they are just tiring on the legs and lungs. Many options for parking and doing 1 night loop hikes, or 2 car shuttle hikes. Much more info if you google search. A real nice guide( very detailed map included) is availbe from the Alpine Club. Enjoy!
"a thru-hike gaining 12,000 feet in elevation" This has to be a typo,..
This trail was my now-husband and my first camping date -- and the point at which I realized my new boyfriend was colorblind. After realizing that each trail intersection point would be accompanied by a lengthy map consultation (good thing he's map-savvy), I finally piped up with "why don't we just follow the red blazes?" His response? "What red blazes?"
So, to all you first-daters who want to impress your new partner with your woodsman/woman skills, be warned the trail markers are scarlet. And plan accordingly.
That said, the Loyalsock is hands-down some of the best hiking in PA.
I've lived near this trail most of my life and hiked sections of it many times. I recently opened a B&B at mile marker 19 and offer a cushy, hiker friendly place to stay before your trip or enroute. I'm happy to help hikers with shuttles and other logistics. www.bellevuemountaintopcottage.com
I just completed an eastbound thru-hike of this trail today. I've hiked several different places in PA (West Rim Trail, sections of the Tuscarora Trail, sections of the AT and several trails in different state parks). This was by far the most beautiful an life changing. It was also the most difficult. I left the trail almost feeling defeated. Enjoy this amazing trail, but be sure to treat it with the respect it deserves. And if you plan on hiking the LT, whether it be all of it or just a section, definitely buy the trail guide. It really gives a great background of the history of the trail. Enjoy!!
Just completed thru-hike in 3.5 days. Beautiful, well marked trail. Lots of stream crossings and wet, boggy sections after an all day rain. Steep, frequent, sometimes miserable climbs. Limited but beautiful campsites (no shelters). Lots of waterfalls and scenic vistas (in mid April). We'd highly recommend Bellevue Cottage at mile 19 as a staging point if you want to do more than 12 miles on first day (since you can't camp from about mile 12 to 22.
This article is a joke.
I've been hitting sections of this trail since 1998 and have watched the campsite near the falls on Ketchum run change over the years. I have some grainy pictures from a disposable camera where me a some buddies set up a zip line over those falls and the pool below. When I get that itch to go backpacking, the Loyalsock is the picture that my mind conjures up.
Is the Loyalsock Trail blazed besides having mile markers? What are the elevations? Why does trail slide away? Are there maps? Tenting spots? thanks, Regina
i just hiked this trail the beginning of october. as described it does have the feel of a long trail, but please notice that it is a fairly strenuous trail and NOT really novice-friendly. some places on the trail are so narrow, and yes, u WILL be getting wet numerous times crossing streams. it rained 3 of the 4 days i was there so my advise: bring appropriate shelter or pick a nice week with no rain ;-)
with over 40 waterfalls, angel falls was so great to see.
oh, and one other piece of advise:
if you're hiking this trail for the falls go whenever u like. if you're hiking for the 'views' at the tops of climbs go in the spring before all the trees get the leaves that will be hiding all those views!
nice trail tho--will do it again sometime.
This trail was my first experience backpacking. My wife and I teamed up with a partner who had been on this trail before. We loved it! It was a tough go, as another commenter mentioned it is not for a novice. Novice or not, I enjoyed the weekend trip culmonated with a bone chilling dip in the Loyalsock in the "haystacks" section.
A few friends and I did one small section of this trail this summer. This is not for novices. We did 5 miles RT. the plan was an 8-mile one way jaunt, camping one night. We made it 2 miles before numerous minor injuries forces us to camp and trek back the same way. (a severely sprained ankle)
The view WERE great, but dont be shocked when the path your own suddenly slides away from your feet, or when you have to get your boots wet to continue a trail. I wish I could remember which mile marker we were on. Some where in the middle. We drove by a popular campground to get there.
Is this picture digitally enhanced or will it look like this to the naked eye??
This picture is amazing! Any ideas about what month this is?
I really dig Jim Gorman's writing. A week-long thru-hike = great idea. Until I can get my life to a place that allows the "complicated...job-quitting..." type of adventure, I'm hitting the trail in PA. Thanks for the inspiration!

When the Republican National Convention kicks off this week in Tampa, Florida, the nation will notice one thing before anything else: This is not your father's or grandfather's Republican Party. Rather, it's a party with leaders as diverse as the country it intends to represent.
In case you haven't noticed, this election season is awash in money.
Viviette Applewhite, a 93-year-old African-American woman from Philadelphia, suddenly cannot vote. Although she once marched with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. for the right to do so, and has dutifully cast a ballot for five decades, in this election year she may be denied this basic right. Under Pennsylvania's new voter ID law, Applewhite is no longer considered eligible.
Congressional Republicans told a top Justice official Thursday his department is wrong to fight state voter ID laws and that the government needs to do more to ensure people serving abroad in the military are able to vote.
New ads from the presidential campaigns encapsulate where the race stands, with President Barack Obama's camp continuing its assault on his challenger over his business record and refusal to share tax records and Mitt Romney trying to make allegations of cronyism knock the incumbent off the assault.
Senate Republicans again Tuesday blocked Democratic legislation that would require greater transparency into who is behind much of the secretive, often negative campaign advertising filling the airwaves this election season.
Florida election officials will have access to a federal law enforcement database to challenge the eligibility of a person to vote as part of its effort to purge non-citizens from its voting rolls, state officials said.
The runner-up in Mexico's presidential election announced Thursday that he was filing a legal challenge to invalidate the vote.
The Bush-era tax cut extension is going to expire, causing renewed policy arguments between President Obama and the GOP.
President Barack Obama, fresh from his renewed pitch to cut taxes for the middle class, takes his message to Iowa Tuesday -- a trip shadowed by Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus as part of a GOP strategy of "bracketing" the president's public appearances in battleground states.
Texas state officials went to federal court Monday to defend a controversial new voter identification law, dismissing suggestions the requirement would deny hundreds of thousands of people -- many of them minorities -- access to the ballot.
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) on Texas looking to require voters to present photo ID at polls.
Mexican officials say Pena Nieto is not official president until the country's electoral tribunal ratifies the results.
More than a week after Mexico's presidential election, the candidate who authorities describe as the runner-up said a partial recount was not enough to erase his doubts about the vote.
An official tally of Mexico's presidential election returns -- including individual recounts for more than half the ballots -- confirmed Enrique Peña Nieto as the winner of the election.
Egypt's election commission says it will announce election results Sunday, June 24. CNN's Jon Mann and Ian Lee report.
Tensions soared in Egypt as an entire nation awaited presidential election results that are now expected to be announced Sunday afternoon.
CNN's Drew Griffin reports on FEC investigations into Rep. Vern Buchanan violating campaign finance laws.
Republican Rep. Vern Buchanan, a self-made Florida millionaire, is only in his third term in Congress, but he already is in charge of fundraising for the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, and he sits on the powerful House Ways and Means committee.
The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Tuesday that seeks to stop the state of Florida from purging voters from registration rolls.
Many have tried, especially in California, but few have managed to successfully oust a U.S. governor through a recall election.
Voters in California accustomed to casting ballots in party primaries will see something very different on Tuesday: all candidates, regardless of affiliation, will compete in the same preliminary contest, with the top two finishers moving on to compete in the general election.
Mitt Romney hit his party's "magic number" on Tuesday, unofficially clinching the Republican presidential nomination in a race he entered as the front-runner and has had to himself for weeks.
Mariam "Mimi" Bell, a Latina Republican from Colorado, resents the implication that Hispanic voters are somehow negatively affected by the state's new voter identification law.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, already the presumptive Republican nominee, will win Tuesday's GOP presidential primaries in Kentucky and Arkansas, CNN projects.
During his 2010 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama made headlines by directly criticizing the Supreme Court for its decision in Citizens United v. FEC, the political funding case. He said Citizens United would "open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections."
Richard Mourdock explains why he "doesn't think there's going to be a lot of successful compromise" in the Senate.
With longtime Republican Sen. Dick Lugar going down in defeat, Democrats were quick to paint the conservative candidate who beat him in Indiana's primary as "too extreme."
Hundreds of demonstrators extended their sit-in outside Egypt's defense ministry to a sixth day Thursday, as organizers called for mass protests following violence that killed at least 11 people.
Egypt's ruling military council says an overhaul of the nation's civilian government will not happen. Ian Lee reports.
Days before the one-year anniversary of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, top surrogates for President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took to the national stage to argue the politics of the attack.
The GOP primary night yields no surprises, but will it finally force one contender out of the race? Karin Caifa reports.
Rick Santorum's announcement that he is suspending his presidential campaign brings the Republican primaries closer to the end. With all the speculation about brokered conventions and last-minute turnarounds, the original predictions appear to be correct. Mitt Romney will almost certainly be the Republican candidate who faces off against President Barack Obama in the fall.
Rick Santorum senior adviser John Brabender says Santorum will "help" Mitt Romney.
Newt Gingrich said Sunday that he'll do everything he can to support Mitt Romney as the Republican Party's presidential nominee when that time comes. But that time hasn't come yet.
After six terms in the Senate, Indiana's Richard Lugar finds himself the latest target of the tea party movement's desire both to have more influence over the policy agenda in Congress and to make the Republican Party more conservative.
Now that Rick Santorum has scored victories in this week's Republican primary contests in Mississippi and Alabama --this after his earlier win in Tennessee and Newt Gingrich's victory in South Carolina -- it's time to confront three questions:
The primary process is good for the Republican Party?and our country.
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy endorses Mitt Romney at campaign stops in Alabama and Mississippi. CNN's Jim Acosta reports.
A controversial new Texas law requiring voters to present personal identification before going to the polls has been blocked by the Obama administration.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin says he has won Russia's presidential election, restoring the former KGB officer to the office he held for eight years before term limits forced him to step down in 2008.
CNN's Jill Dougherty reports on the reaction to Vladimir Putin's election and the arrests of opposition protesters.
Thousands of people in Moscow rallied for and against Vladimir Putin in separate rallies Monday after official election results showed the Russian prime minister handily winning back the presidency.
Super Tuesday is traditionally a turning point in the campaign for the U.S. presidency, but it may pass without having the impact its name implies because the Republican Party has a pesky problem -- it can't decide whom it wants in the White House.
Know your caucuses from your primaries? Your superdelegates from your Super PACs? As Republican presidential hopefuls battle to win the right to take on Barack Obama in November, we've defined the array of words and acronyms that will define this year's election.
Both political parties exploit Super PACs, but what exactly are they? CNN's Kate Bolduan explains.
So far, turnout in the Republican primaries and caucuses has been down in a number of states from 2008.
Political analyst David Leland talks Super Tuesday and what it means for the GOP.
American voters this presidential election year are still stuck with an archaic electoral process that artificially restricts our ballot choices.
Egypt's first presidential election since the ouster last year of Hosni Mubarak will take place on May 23-24, with final results expected June 21, the head of the election commission announced Wednesday.
A man suffered minor burns after setting himself on fire outside Egypt's parliament during a protest.
Ireland's PM says European leaders must be honest and work with colleagues to emerge from the financial crisis.
Dublin will hold a referendum on the eurozone fiscal pact, plunging Europe into months of uncertainty and potentially placing a question mark over Ireland's membership of the euro.
Egyptian presidential candidate Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh was carjacked and beaten late Thursday as he was returning from a conference, his campaign manager said.
Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich ratcheted up their attacks against President Barack Obama on Monday as they competed for conservative votes ahead of primaries and caucuses in the Republican presidential race.
Proponents of same-sex marriage got a boost on two fronts Monday, when the governor of Washington signed a bill legalizing marriage for gay and lesbian couples and the New Jersey state Senate voted 24-16 in favor of a similar bill.
Washington's state legislature approves a bill to legalize same-sex marriage.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers in Washington State voted Wednesday in favor of a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage, putting Washington on the path toward becoming the seventh state in the nation to legalize marriage for gay and lesbian couples.
A federal appeals court ruled against California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage Tuesday, arguing the ban unconstitutionally singles out gays and lesbians for discrimination.
Tom Lucero, Colorado campaign chair for Gingrich, weighs in on the GOP hopeful's campaign strategy going forward.
After a bad defeat in the Nevada caucuses, the options dwindle for former Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Newt Gingrich said Sunday he is plotting a Southern revival, while Rick Santorum and Ron Paul seek stronger showings in upcoming caucuses to slow front-runner Mitt Romney's momentum after his second straight victory in the Republican presidential race.
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney tells Obama it is time to get "out of the way" after his primary win in Florida.
A political battle is shaping up in the Garden State about whether to give gay and lesbian couples the right to wed -- a move that, if approved, would make New Jersey the seventh state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage.
The 2010 Supreme Court ruling that allows unlimited contributions by corporations and unions has already affected the 2012 presidential campaign. But it could play a larger part in the balance of power in Congress this fall.
In the first of this two-part edition of Explain it to me, Tom Foreman explains how presidential hopefuls raise money.
The following is a primer on campaign finance terms relevant to the Supreme Court's 2010 "Citizens United" ruling that loosened spending restrictions in federal elections, which will have an impact this election year.
As Americans read about the flood of private money that is going into the current presidential campaign, most can't help but shake their heads in disgust about how our democracy functions.
Newt Gingrich's stunningly strong win in the South Carolina primary capped an incredible week in the Republican presidential nominating cycle., but what did we learn from it?
Rick Perry's decision to pull out of the Republican primary before the South Carolina vote on Saturday could provide just the boost that Newt Gingrich, or even Rick Santorum, needs to edge out Mitt Romney. Should this happen, would it be bad for the former Massachusetts governor? In the long run, it might actually help him.
It has become a great American tradition, an act of small-town civics, an example of direct democracy in action where citizens get to meet presidential candidates multiple times.
CNN's Jessica Yellin takes a look at past Iowa caucuses and their impact on the presidential election.
More than a million people have signed a petition to recall Wisconsin's governor, the state's Democratic Party said Tuesday.
Embattled Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker could face a recall election down the line. Ted Rowlands reports.
For eight consecutive presidential campaigns, from Ronald Reagan's in 1980 to John McCain's in 2008, the winner of the Republican primary in South Carolina went on to win his party's nomination. Not surprisingly, the Republican presidential candidates have begun shaping their appeals to South Carolina voters well before the primary in New Hampshire.
Stephen Colbert says he won't be stopped by officials saying it's too late for him to run in South Carolina's presidential primary.
A federal judge on Friday ruled against four Republican presidential candidates seeking a spot on Virginia's March 6 primary ballot, saying they waited too long to file their claims.
CNN's John King talks to Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman about the New Hampshire primary.
This election season, the term "Super PAC" has escaped from the obscure world of campaign finance lawyers to emerge on the front pages of major newspapers and political websites. Super PACs are political organizations that can take unlimited sums from individuals, corporations and labor unions to spend in support of, or opposition to, federal candidates. To do so legally, a Super PAC must avoid certain forms of coordination with candidates.
A win is a win for Mitt Romney, even if it's only by eight votes. But Tuesday night belonged to Rick Santorum.
Before the Iowa results were completely in, Rick Santorum spoke to CNN about his strong showing in the caucuses.
Today, Iowans will kick off the Republican nominating process for president of the United States with the first-in-the-nation caucuses. But why a Tuesday?
When people in Iowa cast the first votes in the long U.S. presidential election, it has an importance beyond the result.

Several same-sex couples came together in the first minutes of New Year's Day in Honolulu to become the first in the state's history to enter into civil unions.
In an outrageous recent fundraising letter the Democratic National Committee solicited funds from the party faithful on the grounds that the DNC was the last remaining bulwark against a series of anti-election-fraud initiatives "in more than 40 states."
Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry did not submit enough signatures to get on the Virginia primary ballot.
Only two Republican presidential candidates will appear on the ballot in Virginia next year, regardless of how many are in the race.
Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder delivers a major speech on voting rights at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library in Austin, Texas. The location is significant: In 1965, President Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, a landmark piece of civil rights legislation that banned the worst forms of racial discrimination in American elections.
The Department of Justice on Friday deemed South Carolina's new law requiring voters to present a state or federal photo ID "legally unenforceable," arguing that it could be discriminatory against minorities in violation of the Voting Rights Act.

Spinal Curves in Scoliosis
Topic Overview
Doctors use X-ray images of a person's spine to measure spinal curvature. A curve or angle of the spine is measured in degrees and describes how severe the curve is. (The angle is determined by the intersection of lines projected from the top and bottom of the curve.) If the spine is straight, there is no angle; this would be a 0-degree curve. If the spine is curved, the angle can be measured. The larger the curve, the larger the angle or degree measurement. For example, a 10-degree curve is considered a mild curve, and a 50-degree curve is considered a severe curve.
Many people have some curve in their spine. In fact, spinal curves that are less than 10 degrees are considered a normal variation of the spine. Curves that are greater than 10 degrees may be monitored (to see whether the curve is getting worse) or may need treatment.
In addition to the severity of the curve, curves are described by their direction and location.

"Young Explorers Program" 2nd part
South Island of New Zealand
After a 10-day selection camp in January 2009, 8 out of 20 young participants joined Mike Horn in New Zealand. All aged between 15 and 20 and of different nationalities, these young people will navigate for 15 days (from May 14th to 30th) in the fjords and western part of South Island. Accompanied by a team of 27 people, Andrew LYNCH (18, USA), Alisa BERANSKA (20, GB), Daniel MAIDMENT (15, RSA), Jun LEE (17, CN), Zofia DRAPELLA (17, PL), Raphaël GABELLA (19, CH), Simon STRACTKER (15, DE) and Annelies VARHACK (16, BE) will discover, explore and live next to a man, Mike Horn, whose aim is to make them aware of environmental and climate changes.
The main objectives of this expedition are:
- To explore and discover the beauty of wild and preserved regions like the iced fjords of South Island.
- To develop the young explorers' practical know-how for them to be able to measure the differences in temperatures, the salinity and quality of the water and the sediments in these regions.
- To obtain information about the impact of tourist activities on the marine environment, as these activities are quickly developing in wild areas.
- To experience incredible moments in these magical regions.
After a first phase at sea to become accustomed to living together on a boat, the team of young explorers went on its first mission to Coal island.
Victim of a "gold rush" during the 18th century, the island was afterwards completely abandoned. Its exceptional fauna is today in danger, threatened by the rodents that were introduced. The young people took part in checking and cleaning the traps. Then they sailed to Dusky Sound, a splendid fjord where Captain Cook stopped after exploring the Antarctic. The crew is now on land and progressing through the primary forest at a daily pace of 9-12 miles with Dave Rundgren, a biologist specialized in the region.
To finish, the YEP team intends to explore the coast in sea kayaks.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill -- A Bloomington woman plead guilty Monday to the concealment of the death of her mother-in-law.
Misook Wang Nowlin of Bloomington had admitted she concealed the death Wenlan Tyda, 70. The elderly woman's body was found buried in a forest preserve.
Misook Wang Nowlin went on trial Monday on those murder charges.
An autopsy indicated Wenlan Tyda had been strangled, but Nowlin says the the older woman was killed in self-defense.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, Misook Wang and her mother-in-law had been arguing over Wang's pending divorce.
Nowlin faces between two and five years in prison for concealment of a death regardless of the jury's verdict on the murder charges.
However, Misook Nowlin did not make a plea to the most serious charge she faces, the murdering of Wenlan Tyda.
