Apologies. Good start to my posting. Its actually ELV UI....
I am a new tank..and have been working my way through normal 5 man...into Twilight 5 man dungeons and have learnt a great deal. However I heard about the above UI and wondered if this was an appropriate UI for tanks. I guess if you all say it is a personal choice I will go ahead and try this. Thanks.
Apologies. Good start to my posting. Its actually ELV UI....
I have used that interface before and here is my OPINION on it.
Looks great
For those who like the base ui, it is similar enough that there is not a large amount of adjustment.
This is actually a collection of other addons all skinned to look cohesive. The problem with that is that the menus for those combined addons is usually not preserved. Therefore, I cannot manually adjust some of the settings that I want to so that I can customize where information is shown even though I know that I should be able to.
For me, the cast bars were not effectively visible so I had to add in a cast bar mod...then the action bars were not as customizable as I was used to so I added in a bar mod...then the "X" was almost what I wanted but...basically, I was adding back in a lot of the addons I was using before on top of this UI. In the end, I realized I was just better off with my old UI I customized myself. It really allows me to see the information I want and ONLY what I need. Also, I ended up with addon conflicts and the extra action button not being visible in DS (not an issue with just elvui but it was once I added in a few other addons I wanted). I actually macro this so I can keybind it anyways, so this was not really a deciding factor for me.
It is definitely all a matter of opinion. The UI itself is not a hinderance to tanking. Me personally, I am very picky about what info shows near my toon and what shows on the edges of the screen so that I can process info as fast as possible. Elvui just didn't give me the ability to customize that the way I wanted.
IF it uses Tidyplates then its adequate for tanking
If you HAVE to go with a compilation, use http://www.wowinterface.com/download...68-RealUI.html.
ElvUI isn't a compilation, it's just one addon ElvUI nothing more, nothing less, and it's highly configurable inside of with the custom GUI Elv created for ElvUI. From the unitframe sizes even how the power frames work, cast bars and etc.
Tengenstein, the nameplates in ElvUI have an enhanced threat mode that as tank spec it changed color based on your threat and I think they change sizes like the default nameplate features.
sounds like it does what TP does.
Thanks for your advice/comments. I tanked LFR 25man (8 bosses) today, just using DBM, Omen and standard wow UI. All was ok...but just would like to tidy up the screen a little.
I really like LUI - UI. It's a nice set up and even though I still download some other addons it integrates nicely.
LUI has Grid, I like Vuhdu better. FOr my Mage I donwloaded mage nuggets. The built in threat plates in LUI work very good, it's hard to beat Tidy and threat plates though, I will admit that.
It takes a little while to get your profiles set up for different toons, but once you do it's real easy to have a completely different UI for a tank and a healer.
LUI is also constantly upgrading his UI too. He has dedicated forums where there's all kinds of info on different ways to set up the UI.
On the flip side - if anyone has con's about LUI, I'd like to hear them. Truth is I'm just coming back and kinda serching for new stuff. At this point it'd take a good case for me to switch from LUI, but anything is possible.

Tastes good, hearty and healthy

I use it in everything! It tastes good on its own as well as mixed in with other things (shakes, cereal, fruit salad, youghurt -probably anything you can think of) PLUS it is healthy and hearty. Only draw back is that it disappears waaaaay to quickly in this house.... and I can't restock every time that happens cause even if the product in itself is cheap, I have to pay clearance and value added tax and what not, so I have to pay attention to both price and weight of the thigs I order. All this sadly sets the limit. (Hi iHerb! Just want to mention that strawberrynet pays this back to you. I would love you for all time and buy everything from you if you did the same. Promise! (And fellow customers: say this was helpful to you if you agree))
One of the best sources of protein, omega-6, omega-3, omega-9 fatty acids, essential amino acids and minerals.

Hemp seeds are truly a superfood. They're one of the best sources of the rare omega-6 (linolenic, gamma-linolenic), omega-3 (alpha-linolenic, stearidonic), omega-9 oleic fatty acids known for fighting inflammation, relieving pain, supporting a healthy metabolism and facilitating fat burning. Their 3:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids makes them superior to any fish. Moreover, hemp seeds have the most complete amino acid profile and contain all the 9 essential amino acids (phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine and histidine), which makes them superior to meat, milk, eggs and soy. In addition to all this, they're also one of the best sources of protein, minerals, vitamins and fiber: one serving (about three tablespoons) of hemp seeds provides a whopping 10 grams of protein (20% of the recommended daily intake), 50% of the RDI of magnesium and phosphorus, 25% of zinc, 15% of iron, 1 gram of fiber (4% of the RDI), vitamins E, A, B1, B2, B6, C, not to mention that they're easily digestible, naturally gluten and cholesterol free and suitable for people suffering from gluten intolerance and celiac disease. It's no surprise that hemp seeds are packed with health benefits and can help people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, heart disease, gastritis, acid reflux, nausea, indigestion, menstrual cramps, asthma, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, arthritis, rheumatism, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer: they stabilize blood sugar, regulate insulin levels and prevent blood spikes keeping you full longer, aid digestion, prevent heartburn and acid reflux, increase appetite, soothe the stomach lining, reduce inflammation, normalize blood pressure, lower triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, improve blood circulation, protect against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, help maintain healthy skin, hair and nails, and contain plant sterols which may reduce the risk of colon, breast and prostate cancer. I love these organic hemp seeds. They normalize my cholesterol and blood pressure, help my acid reflux and gastritis and keep me full for a long time stabilizing my blood sugar. They have a pleasant nutty flavor and I add them to oatmeal, cereal, soups, salads, yogurt, smoothies and many different recipes. So glad I ordered them. They're amazing.
lots of delicious nutrition & protein for a few bucks!

i brought these to a friend's house so he could try them; he's a big fan of hemp products but had never eaten the seeds. he got super-excited and had his wife, brother, sister-in-law, and several kids try them...everyone loved them, especially one 8-year-old nephew who is reputed to be a picky eater. i had to hide the bag so i'd have a little left to bring home! delicious on salad & toast, in oatmeal & smoothies. they remind me of sesame seeds...if you could just eat the "inside" of them. they're buttery and very soft, and seem like they would be easier to digest than other seeds. i toasted some in a dry pan and added an equal amount of chia seeds and a little sea salt for a home-made gomasio; sometimes i put a couple of tablespoons into a condiment cup and eat it very slowly (with my fingertip rather than a spoon) when i'm craving a salty snack. oh my goodness, my cat just ate some of my hempseeds! well, this crazy cat eats watermelon and drinks pineapple juice & lemonade, so i'm not saying your cat would like them...
Love love love this!!

These hemp seeds are a staple in my smoothies, thrown in salads, in raw foods, in homemade chocolate - you name it. Hemp seeds are really soft and easy to eat. Highly recommended as something healthy to add to your current meals.

WASHINGTON - Ever wonder where to find the best burger when visiting a new city, or even in your hometown? Zagat created a cheat sheet for carnivores interested in finding the best of the best, USA Today reports.
In the D.C. area, the winner is Ray's Hells Burger, which recently closed two locations in Rosslyn, Va. because of a landlord-tenant dispute. You can still find the juicy treats at Ray's To The Third in Arlington, Va.
Baltimore residents should head to Linwoods, which offers "impeccable modern American cuisine" that has been "charming sophisticated diners for about a quarter-century," Zagat says.
Other options in the region include Sketch in Philadelphia and Burger Joint in New York.

I agree with alot that is said but then i have my avoidence set on most times and i have been praised for this due to survivability. Not only do i not get hit often which means less heals required but it allows for the ot or mt to recover and be healed.
I have tanked with stam stacking tanks and i watch them get hit for twice the amount i would be hit for and the healers hate it because of the fear of OOMing.
i see all the points but as a tank i still feel avoidance plays a big part in the tanking world. EH is also a big part don't get me wrong. I will actually have to figure my EH out any good addons that can do this.
I feel for druid tanks that go for the high hp like 40-50k hp and just drop, i laugh on the inside and think ok what is your avoidance, because you get hit by magic yes but there is normally malee swings after and they always get missed in dicussions.
ppl laugh and worry about my hp and then they run with me i am normally the one that will be getting compliments. the dps that laugh at me and the other tanks don't laugh when i am left to tank bosses with two dp and maybe two healers and we kill the boss.
so from harbringerau avoidence should be brought to the thoughts of all tanks. Not just the HP Numbers doesn't count if your dead.

text: Haven't tried DK since 4.0, but Paladin at the moment can compensate a lot more for group weaknesses / healing shortage. With Holy Radiance and WoG + a healing addon up at all times, I pretty much play raid healer when I have to. With 50% vengeance on a 5-man boss, I can be tossing 20-40K insta-heals around the group once ( twice w/ proc ) every 12 sec's ish. Add in all the other group help ( Hands, etc. ) and the Paladin has much more utility than the DK. I certainly wouldn't limit it to "soloing tricks" unless you're just not playing it to the full potential. I haven't seen a DK survive the last 20% of a heroic boss by themselves, but I've done it many times.

Unto the ending of the world: 1. Palantír
March 11 – 15, 3019
Three days since the Grey Company had left Erech; or was it? In the gloom that had come from the east – the previous morning – it was too easy to lose track of time, and all that could be seen of the land was featureless and murky. Yet the river they just forded had to be the Gilrain, and that meant that they were near Linhir.
Aragorn wished he could press on immediately towards Pelargir, but both horses and men could not go on without some rest. As soon as they reached a good place, about fifteen miles from the river, he signalled a halt and dismounted, leaving Halbarad to arrange setting up their camp.
Ignoring Halbarad's questioning glance, Aragorn took his pack and walked off to look for a sheltered spot near the camp. He looked around to make certain he was unobserved, then sat down and quickly set up the palantír. He had to know the Enemy's movements. As he looked in the Stone, he was prepared for a struggle, but despite his weariness after the long ride, the Stone obeyed his will with little effort. Perhaps at the Hornburg he had broken the Enemy's hold on the Stone, or perhaps Sauron's mind was otherwise occupied.
First, Minas Tirith; relieved at seeing that the city was as yet unassailed, Aragorn looked further north towards Rohan. He wondered whether the Stone would let him see as far as Rivendell, but dismissed that thought quickly. Then Ithilien, searching for the Enemy's armies; and finally, Mordor itself. As soon as he moved near to Gorgoroth, he felt another presence, and a will grasping at him before he could withdraw his gaze.
Had he entered a trap? Aragorn gathered his will to keep control of the Stone, as he had done in the Hornburg, when the other spoke to him, and bade him watch. Warily, ready to cover the Stone immediately if he was attacked, he waited, and saw, as from a distance, a hobbit lying on a stone floor. Foreboding struck him as the view shifted, and he could see it was Frodo. Next, he was shown a hand silhouetted against red flames; as the flames faded, he saw the hand had but four fingers, and on one of those a ring of bright, burning gold. The other spoke again, "Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul," each word a hammer-stroke at his mind. He tore his gaze away from the palantír and quickly drew his cloak over it to block it.
With shaking hands, he put the palantír back in its bag. The Quest had failed. Sauron had the Ring. Frodo was captured, or dead.
He sat, frozen, trying to gather his thoughts. What would be the Enemy's first move? Lothlórien? Rivendell? No, he would move in the South first, that had been his plan all along. Rivendell would be last to fall, and Lothlórien was still too strong. Minas Tirith would be first. If that was Sauron's move, what should be his own? Gondor was lost. What good could it do to go to the White City now, perhaps only to fall in hopeless defence of that which was already doomed? He should return home, and return fast, and spread the word before the Eye of Sauron turned there. There might still be a chance that the North could hold out, and Sauron be held at bay, if all who could wield a blade rallied there. He almost rose to give the command to ride back west, but stopped, a deeper despair gripping his heart. All was lost. Returning North was as hopeless a course as continuing on the one that had been set at the Council of Elrond. There had never been much hope that they could hold off the Enemy by force of arms, anywhere, yet to abandon Gondor now... truly, there were no good choices to be made, but at the least he would not slink off in defeat before the battle even began.
The choice made, Aragorn desperately wanted to press on, yet he knew that even the hardy Dúnedain of the Grey Company would need more rest after riding for almost three days from Erech than the scant hour they had already had. It was at least another day to Pelargir. So he waited, while his thoughts sought for hope amidst despair.
In the end it was another day and a night before they reached the Anduin. With nowhere left to run, the Haradrim who had fled before them, and before the Dead, turned to make a stand on the quays. Now. This was the moment the Host of the Dead had been summoned for, and Aragorn raised Andúril high as he called on them. He watched in grim satisfaction as the Dead swept across the quays and the ships. Soon, the ships were taken, and the Dead released into the night.
With the departure of the Dead, the many from Lebennin and the Ethir who had been stirred by their passage and that of the Grey Company dared come to Pelargir. By what had to be morning, though the day was barely brighter than the night, the ships were fully manned and the fleet was ready to depart. At first, rowing against the flow of the river, their progress was slow. By night a wind from the Sea arose and allowed the fleet to raise sails, giving them the speed Aragorn had craved.
The wind brought rain, but also drove back the oppressing darkness. By midmorning the weather was dry and bright, and Aragorn stood at the prow of the ship, his spirits lifted at last by the fresh breeze and the morning sun, eagerly awaiting the first view of Minas Tirith. Was that the Sun glistening on the Tower of Ecthelion already?
Finally, the ships neared the Harlond, and Aragorn gave the command to have his standard displayed. With the bright sunlight gleaming on the Seven Stars and the Crown, he held on to the hope that they could win the day, and the Enemy be defeated. When he looked away from Arwen's standard, that hope fled again. While the Enemy held the One Ring, even if they were victorious this day, in the end it would be for naught, and the only outcome death and defeat, whether sooner or later.
Aragorn looked over to where Legolas and Gimli were standing waiting for the ship to reach the quay. He should have spoken to them of the Quest's failure. It would have been a relief to share the burden of his knowledge, with them, with Halbarad, with his brothers. As members of the Fellowship it was their right to know, but now it would have to wait until they made the City. And maybe they would find Gandalf there too. He desperately needed to talk to him; the wizard might still see some hidden chance of bringing down Sauron.
At first, the surprise of their arrival was with them, and the Haradrim near the Harlond, who had already been in the field since dawn, fell back before the fresh troops from the ships, so that they made some progress towards the City. Then, around noon, a wave of Orcs from Minas Morgul that had been held in reserve poured into the Pelennor.
It was not long before the van of the Dúnedain was near to being cut off from the main force off the ships. Just as Aragorn realised their danger, and gave the order to fall back towards their troops, the line of Orcs and Easterlings that had been pressing them withdrew abruptly. The light of the sun was obscured and a shadow moved over the land as down from the sky swept a monstrous winged creature, upon its back the black-cloaked shape of one of the Nazgûl. The Dúnedain of the North and the southern troops with them were driven back by the ferocious creature and fear of the Nazgûl, their horses throwing them or running off.
Aragorn managed to keep Roheryn from bolting, but the horse was so panicked by the presence of the Nazgûl that he had no other choice than to dismount and face the Ringwraith on foot. The Nazgûl descended from the creature's back and began to walk towards him.
A cold, numbing fear crept up on Aragorn as the Nazgûl halted. The sounds of battle around him seemed to fade into silence. He felt the unseen eyes under the shadowed hood gazing at him. He saw himself in chains before the throne of the Dark Lord and a promise of unending pain and torture. The vision changed, and he was raised up as King of Kings, glorious ruler of all Men, never to die or grow old, his bride at his side, and the whole world his, if only he would choose now to submit to Sauron willingly. As the vision was held in front of him, an answer was demanded, and he replied to Sauron's temptation – Your offer is empty, Lord of Lies. I am not Ar-Pharazôn, and the heir of Isildur will not do Sauron's bidding, neither for empty promise nor for threat. He raised Andúril in challenge.
The Nazgûl hissed in frustration and anger as the spell broke, and drew his sword. As he drew closer, the numb sense of fear came over Aragorn again. The Black Breath... It was affecting him, he knew, slowing him down. He had to resist, or he would be helpless against his opponent. At the thought that the Enemy might try to capture him now that temptation had failed, a different, sharper fear grew in his mind. It took much of his will to do so, but as the Nazgûl swung his blade, Aragorn parried the strike.
They exchanged several more blows, until Aragorn made a slight misstep on the uneven ground. It was no more than a moment's distraction, and it should not have given an opponent an opening, but it was enough to allow the other to strike with the long knife in his left hand. Aragorn tried to block him, but the Ringwraith was too fast as he lunged and struck low. As the Nazgûl's blade pierced his mail, Andúril's strike went wide and Aragorn staggered back and stumbled to the ground.

Last night amidst all the election madness, Jimmy Kimmel Live! writer Eli Braden joked, "CNN projecting still no follow-up to My Bloody Valentine's 1991 classic "Loveless"." It would appear that he'll be eating crow tonight, as frontman Kevin Shields has returned with a bombshell of an update.
While speaking with NME, Shields insists he'll make good on his promise set earlier this year and will finally drop the long, long, long, long, long awaited follo- up to 1991′s Loveless on his own website before this year's end. What's more, he'll follow that release with another EP of brand new material.
"I think with this record, people who like us will immediately connect with something," Shields said of any expectations. "Based on the very, very few people who've heard stuff – some engineers, the band, and that's about it – some people think it's stranger than 'Loveless'. I don't. I feel like it really frees us up, and in the bigger picture it's 100 per cent necessary."

The greatest problem facing the interpreter of Liszt's transcription is the preservation of outward peace when the hands are being put through contortions, frequently involving the quiet stretching of elevenths. But that said, the Sixth remains perhaps the most congenial of all of the Symphonies from a pianistic point of view. 'The Awakening of joyful feelings upon arrival in the countryside' revels in the joy of finding all of Beethoven's textures so faithfully reconceived in such grateful writing. And not a ripple or birdsong is missed in the 'Scene by the Brook'—to the extent of some dangerous left-hand stretches simultaneous with combined trills and melodies in the right hand. And tranquil athleticism is the only way to describe the requirements at the recapitulation with its added clarinet and violin arpeggios.
Liszt apparently told Berlioz that he played the second eight bars of the 'Happy gathering of the country folk' slightly slower because they represented the old peasants—in contrast with the young peasants at the opening. Few conductors would gamble their reputations upon such a risk in performance, but it seems like an excellent idea to have in mind whilst performing the piece. High points of the transcription include the wonderfully mad bit with the fiddle ostinato, the oboe melody and the artless bassoon which turns out to be quite a challenge at the keyboard, and the whole 2/4 section which imitates the bagpipe and brings the flute counterpoint into much finer prominence than most orchestral balance usually achieves.
'The Thunderstorm' is an inspired piece of virtuoso writing. Just as Beethoven extends the demands on his orchestra in the interest of special effects, so does Liszt mirror them in equivalent pianistic devices, and the relief when the storm subsides is almost tangible in both cases. Similarly, the 'Shepherds' Song. Joyful, thankful feelings after the storm' finds Liszt at one with Beethoven's spirit. In the matter of the text there is one serious blip at bar 225 where Liszt does not pick up a mistakenly transcribed harmony from his first version: he has a simple dominant seventh where he ought to have an F instead of an E. (The F is restored in the present reading.) Whereas it is a conscious decision of Liszt's to make a clean final cadence and sacrifice the last falling semiquavers of the basses.

Associated Press
TUPELO, Miss. (AP) -- Ricin was found in the former martial arts studio of the man suspected of sending poison letters to President Barack Obama and other public officials, and was also discovered on a dust mask and other items he threw in the trash, federal prosecutors said in a court document made public Tuesday.
The affidavit says an FBI surveillance team saw James Everett Dutschke remove several items from the studio in Tupelo, Miss., on April 22 and dump them in a trash bin about 100 yards down the street. The items included a dust mask that later tested positive for ricin, the affidavit said.
Traces of ricin also were found in the studio and Dutschke used the Internet to buy castor beans, from which ricin is derived, the affidavit said.
Annette Dobbs, who owns the small shopping center where the studio was located, said authorities padlocked the door to it sometime after the search.
Inside the studio is one large room with a smaller reception area and a concrete floor. Police tape covered the front door and the small back door.
FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden said Tuesday that the business, Tupelo Taekwondo Plus, was sealed off after evidence that was collected tested positive for "trace levels of ricin."
"The FBI is now conducting further forensic examination for the purpose of identifying trace evidence, residues and signatures of production that could provide evidence to support the investigation," she said in a news release.
Dutschke, 41, was arrested Saturday by FBI agents at his home in Tupelo, and is being held without bond pending a preliminary and detention hearing Thursday in U.S. District Court in Oxford.
The FBI searched his home, vehicles and studio last week, often while wearing hazardous materials suits. Attention turned to Dutschke after prosecutors dropped charges against an Elvis impersonator who says he had feuded with Dutschke in the past.
Dutschke told The Associated Press last week that he didn't send the letters. His lawyer, federal public defender George Lucas, had no comment Tuesday about the information in the affidavit.
Dutschke was arrested as part of the investigation into poison-tainted letters sent to Obama, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and Lee County, Miss., Judge Sadie Holland.
The affidavit said numerous documents found in Dutschke's home had "trashmarks" that were similar to ones on the letters sent to the officials.
"Trashmarks are flaws or marks that come from dirt, scratches, or other marks on the printer. They are transferred to each piece of paper that is run through the printer," it said.
It also describes text messages allegedly sent between two phones subscribed to Dutschke's wife, including one on April 20 that said "get a fire going" and "we're coming over to burn some things."
The FBI has not yet revealed details about how lethal the ricin was. A Senate official has said the ricin was not weaponized, meaning it wasn't in a form that could easily enter the body. If inhaled, ricin can cause respiratory failure, among other symptoms. No antidote exists.
The most notable case of ricin poisoning was in 1978, when a Bulgarian dissident was lethally injected with it by an operative of that country's secret service.
Dutschke also bought 50 castor beans off eBay in November 2012 and 50 more in December 2012, the affidavit said.
The affidavit had been sealed since it was filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Oxford. It also said that on evening of Dec. 31, 2012, someone using his "computer downloaded a publication, Standard Operating Procedure for Ricin, which describes safe handling and storage methods for ricin, and approximately two hours later, Immunochromotography Detection of Ricin in Environmental and Biological Samples, which describes a method for detecting ricin."
An expert at the National Bioforensics Analysis Center in Fort Detrick, Md., said the extraction process employed in this case appears to have been more involved than "merely grinding castor beans," the affidavit said.
A witness, who is not named in the document, told investigators that Dutschke once said years ago that he knows how to make poison that could be sent to elected officials and "whoever opened these envelopes containing the poison would die."
Judge Holland dismissed a civil suit that Dutschke filed in 2006 against the witness, who accused him of making sexual advances toward the witness' daughter, the affidavit said. In April, Dutschke pleaded not guilty in state court to two child molestation charges involving three girls younger than 16. He also was appealing a conviction on a different charge of indecent exposure. He told AP that his lawyer told him not to comment on those cases.

I dug this one up from a few years ago-this was my first out of the country mountaineering trip. Be warned-its long.
the mists of time clear to february 1997
Hmm, my girlfriend wants to sit on a beach in Jamaica for spring break. That sounds like hell, and a total waste of a rare week off school(thats probably why I am single). A few months ago a friend went to the Mexican volcanos and said it was a cheap trip. Decision made-Mexico it is.
About three weeks before the trip, I decided soloing didn't sound as fun as it had when the trip was still a distant prospect, so I called my friend Dave in Minnesota. I hadn't talked to him for a few years, but he agreed instantly and cleared REI out of all the mountaineering gear they had.
Spring Break. The approach to Mexico City goes very near Pico de Orizaba, the first mountain I plan to climb. Holy shit. It is a huge white cone sitting by itself in the central Mexican plateau, and looks very intimidating. I land a few hours before Dave, and discover that the Mexico City airport doesn't have anything like gate numbers, so I spend the next few hours running between gates anytime I see a Continental flight land.
After meeting up with Dave, the first obstacle is Customs. Starting a trend that has continued every time I leave the country to this day, I drew the red ball and had to be searched. I spent an hour trying to explain the ice axes, fuel bottles(thankfully empty), food, etc. before they let me go. This was the first time I had left the country in 10 years, and the hostile reception had me pretty freaked.
We were lucky and found a direct bus to Puebla at the airport. I love Mexican buses. Weekend at Bernie's 2 with English subtitles was the featured movie, and I bought a whole roasted chicken from a lady who got on the bus to just outside of Mexico City. Much more fun than the Adirondack Trailways ride to the gunks!
On to Tlachichuca at the base of Orizaba, where we meet Senor Reyes. He is an old Mexican climber reknowned around the world for his hospitality. He runs a climbers dorm in an old soap factory, his wife cooks amazing meals with plenty of cold beer, and then he gives you rides to Piedra Grande(Orizaba basecamp) in ancient Dodge PowerWagons that are the most amazing vehicles I have ever seen.
I bought a bunch of fruit in a village market, and then we headed to Piedra Grande. There are 4 other guys in the truck with us all of whom became very good friends. One of them, Bob, spent the truck ride telling us a story about his brother who has a cable access TV show in upstate New York somewhere. One of his shows was sponsored by a limo company, who drove him around to every strip club in town. The highlight of the show was two of the strippers shaving his ass in the back of the limo-this became the subject for many running jokes.
I made angelhair pasta with garlic and sundried tomatoes for dinner, and spent the next day throwing it up because of altitude sickness. I learned it is not wise to sleep at 14000 feet 3 days after leaving sea level. The rest of our time was spent taking pictures of people using the outhouse and threatening to post them on the net. The outhouse had no door and faced the windows of the refugio, so we called it the half-assed crapper.
Two days later I finally feel well enough to try Orizaba. We woke up at midnight and started up the trail by headlamp. The night was perfectly clear with no moon so the stars were magnificent, but the lower part was pretty creepy because gravestones line the trail like cairns. We reached the end of the trail after an hour or so, and were faced with a series of cliff bands on the left and a huge scree slope on the right. I made the biggest route finding error of my life and headed up the scree.
The scree was what I imagine the worst pit of hell must be like. I used my ice ax to self arrest every few minutes-I am sure we climbed that slope at least two or three times after all the sliding. Before the slope, Dave and I were way in front of the others, but most of them caught up with us by the time we finally reached the glacier.
Time to put on the crampons. Dave had never used crampons before, and hadn't even adjusted them to his boots yet. Damn. I spent the next 20 minutes using my knife as a screwdriver trying to fit them to his boots. At least we caught our breath, and started slogging up the long, long glacier.
The sun came up as we approached the summit, and the view of the plateau was amazing. It was very clear, so we could see all the way to Popocateptl in the west, and the jungles near Veracruz to the east. We were both really running out of steam, but pressed on to the crater rim. We arrived there after about 7 hours of climbing, and decided it was far enough. We were exhausted, and the summit is another hour of climbing on loose rock and ice-a soloist died on this section just a few days before. We sat gasping on the crater rim for a half hour talking about coming back stronger to rappel in and put up routes inside the huge crater walls.
Bob and his partner Luc were near the rim as we started to descend. We encouraged them, and then made plans to meet near the start of the glacier so they can show us the way back through the cliffs. A few hours later we made it back to Piedra Grande, completely exhausted. The other climbers who had turned around met us with soup and celebratory cerveza. They told us everybody was watching our headlamps as we were going through the scree, and said it was hilarious. They just saw these points of light jinking up and down, crossing back and forth, and couldn't believe we made it through.
The soup revived us considerably, and we bouldered near the refugio in our plastic doubles until Senor Reyes came to pick us up. Life was good, and we spent the next few days hiking, playing tourist in Mexico City and Toluca, and checking out Aztec ruins until it was time to go back home.
Its all A1 until you fall.

All too familiar - did the same trip myself this past February. I was less brave than you - signed up with REI for the trip. The guides were from an outfit called Southern Yosemite Mountain Guides - Ian and Shawn were real good people. The outhouse is still as bad - hence the piles behind every rock (read Cameron Burns story in the October / November R&I for more on that) and that haul up to the glacier in the dark doesn't get any easier. I'd do it again though - wouldn't you?
So long as you can boogie you ain't too old.
Mexican Volcanos - specific beta

GeeVee - I am definitely planning on going back. My little brother is taking my dad climbing there in a few weeks, and I am jealous. The outhouse is bad-but you should see the one for the Illinizas in Ecuador. Wow, I would rather use a bathroom in the Times Square subway station.
Beta. I have a webpage about climbing the volcanos at:
There are some nice pictures there. I have no idea how long it will take NYU to figure out I am not a student anymore and shut off the page, so let me know if it disappears.
Beta. This is very specific beta to getting around Mexico and very little for the routes. The normal routes are easy and obvious, and pretty safe. I didn't need a rope on Orizaba. There is really no crevasse danger, but if you are uncomfortable on steep snow you will probably want one. No rope is needed for the Arista del Sol on Ixtaccihuatl. Some of the other routes on Ixta would probably be more fun and less crowded, like the Ayoloco Glacier(which you need a rope for). If you do decide to bring a rope, prussiks, a few snow pickets, a few 22cm ice screws, and maybe a deadman would be useful.
The prices and exchange rates have probably changed, and the bus lines may have as well. YMMV.
The Mexican Volcanos are probably the ultimate value in mountaineering. Nowhere else can you go so high on beautiful mountains for almost no money. The three main peaks for the area are Pico de Orizaba, the highest peak in Mexico and the third highest in North America, Popocateptl, and Ixtacchihuatl. La Malinche and Nevado de Toluca are both higher than anything in the continental United States and are great for acclimating. Popocateptl is currently closed to climbing because of volcanic activity, and the roads to Ixta's normal route occasionally is closed because of Popo as well.
All of these peaks are relatively easy to climb, but can be dangerous. The standard routes on the big three are on glaciers, requiring the use of ice ax and crampons, as well as some crevasse rescue knowledge and equipment. Additionally, their altitude alone makes them dangerous. La Malinche is 14,500+, Nevado de Toluca 15,000+, Popo and Ixta 17,000+, and Orizaba is 18,400. High Altitude Pulmonary Edema(HAPE) and Cerebral Edema(HACE) are both caused by altitude, and are deadly. I saw someone evaculated for HAPE on Ixta, and someone was killed in a fall on Orizaba a few days before I got there.
That warning aside, these mountains are a lot of fun-and central Mexico is a great place. All costs were from March of 1998, and at the time the exchange rate was 7.5 pesos to the dollar. I also highly recommend either knowing Spanish or being with someone who does. Neither Dave nor I speak Spanish, and very few people there speak English-getting into a cab or ordering food was always an adventure. It is certainly possible to get by without if you must, but it would make your trip less frustrating and probably more enjoyable.
Fly into Mexico City and catch the Estrella de Rojas bus to Puebla. The bus is nice, express, and you don't have to deal with going into Mexico City. You can catch the bus right outside of the airport. The cost was 60 pesos.
In Puebla, take a cab to the zocalo area, 30 pesos-though the driver will almost certainly charge you that per person. The Hotel Santander was clean, convenient, and very cheap. 111 5 Poniente, one block from the large cathedral. 64 pesos for a double room with no bath. Puebla is a beautiful city-try to spend a day sight-seeing and shopping for onyx and tipico pottery.
It is a good idea to warm up on La Malinche before you climb Orizaba, especially if you are coming from sea level. We didn't and still did fine on Orizaba, but we were really sick our first few days at Piedra Grande. If you want to climb La Malinche, it would be easiest to rent a car in Puebla. If that is not possible, take a bus to Apizaco and catch a cab. This can be exciting if there aren't any cabs when you wish to return.
Take a bus from Puebla's CAPU station to Tlachichuca. We rode on Acosa, cost was 21 pesos. The ride takes about 2 hours, and is very interesting. People get on and off at every village selling everything you can think of. Turn left out of the bus station and walk about two blocks. Senor Reyes can be found in the building across the street from the gas station. Anybody in town can tell you where it is if you get lost. Senor Reyes is famous all over the world for taking in climbers, and his hospitality was one of the best parts of the climb. The rate for two nights, two meals, white gas, and 4WD transportation to Piedra Grande is $82 American and they take American Express. The Casablanca restaurant is also very good, and we were lucky enough to get fresh fruit at an open air market before we left. If you are climbing during a busy season(like Christmas), it is best to make reservations with the Reyes at least 3 months in advance.
phone 011-52-5-595-1203
fax 011-52-5-681-7306
There are other outfitters in Tlachichuca besides the Reyes, but I haven't used them. I also highly recommend buying some fruit at the market in Tlachicuca to eat at Piedra Grande.
Enjoy the dusty ride in the old Power Wagons to Piedra Grande. Some other climbers with us wore bandanas over their mouths-very good idea. Piedra Grande is at 14,000 and is a good place to spend a few days acclimating. Bring some rock shoes if you have them, as there is some good bouldering around the hut. Tents are not necessary aside from during the peak climbing season. Water is available at a spring downhill from the hut. Also bring some nails and a hammer to repair the tin roof if you can. The loose tin shingles made some of the most horrible sounds I have ever heard.
We climbed Orizaba after only two nights at Piedra Grande, but that was cutting it very close. It would have been much better to spend another day hiking. Start climbing around midnight as the weather is much better in the morning than the afternoon, and watching the sunrise from 17,000 is very nice. We returned to Tlachichuca in the afternoon after climbing.
Take a bus back to Puebla, and then to Mexico City. Don't take Estrella de Rojas on the way back unless you are flying back after Orizaba. If you want to climb Ixta, take a bus to the TAPO terminal, and then catch another bus to Amecameca. Los Volcanos was 12 pesos. Keep your eyes peeled, as Amecameca is not the last stop on the bus. It would be best to cache any unnecessary gear in the TAPO lockers, because you have to pack in a little for Ixta. Also, be sure to get water, because unless there is snow cover down low none is available on Ixta. Minivans are waiting to take you up to La Joya. While I was there Popo was closed to climbing due to volcanic activity-inquire with other climbers if it is open. Locals assured us the way was open to Popo, and it wasn't. Hike up to the hut from La Joya. Don't leave any gear laying around La Joya for thieves to enjoy. It is several miles to the hut, so if you arrive late you may want to camp at La Joya.
Nevado de Toluca is a little out of the way, but worth going to for the city of Toluca alone. Take a cab from Mexico City's TAPO to the Terminal Poniente(35 pesos for two people). We took a first class bus to Toluca for 35 pesos, and then a cab from the terminal to the Portales(30 pesos). The Hotel Rex was one block from the Portales, and a double with TV and shower was 90 pesos. Don't miss the interesting candy. The Aztec ruins of Teotenango are just south of the city. They are not as spectacular as some of the sites around Mexico City, but the solitude more than compensates for this.
Nevado de Toluca is very easy-the Mount Evans of Mexico. A road goes all of the way into the crater, and we jogged to the summit while our cab waited. This would be an interesting place to be stranded, so either renting a car or negotiating with your cab driver before your climb is a good idea.

But Who's Buying?" on Capitol Records in 1986, Megadeth has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and earned 11 Grammy nominations."

Patricia Jones for Examiner.com has posted the following concert review. "On Thursday, December 5 The Fillmore boasted a truly bombastic performance with the presentation of heavy metal icons Megadeth and their "Super Collider Tour" featuring Fear Factory and Nonpoint. ...If you haven't had a chance to see Megadeth live, make the time. It will likely be one of the most sonically evocative shows you'll see this year, possibly ever."
Win a Megadeth "Super Collider" LP signed by Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Chris Broderick and Shawn Drover along with a limited edition copy of David Ellefson's new autobiography "My Life With Deth". Details are at facebook.com/hartkesystems.

Earlier this month, Activision announced that it would let people who pre-ordered the publisher's latest FPS mega-hit play on a re-imagined version of the popular Nuketown multiplayer map. That part of the promotion turned out to be true. But that access to the special battleground appears to have been suddenly revoked. The sudden bad news was confirmed via tweet from Treyarch game design director David Vonderhaar:
Double XP weekend is official over. That means Nuketown 2025 / 24-7 is as well. I know. RIGHT? Don't kill the messenger. +— David Vonderhaar (@DavidVonderhaar) November 19, 2012
The expectation was that players would be able to play on Nuketown 2025 whenever they wanted. As you'd expect, fans are up in arms over the fact that the map has gone AWOL. Kotaku has reached out to Activision for comments and will update this post if they respond.

'Unplayed Classics'
16 February 2011
'Unplayed Classics'
Cape Town. Rehearsal day.
The backline crew came into the gig early today to set up a rehearsal space in a room in the stadium, so we could make some noise without it being twittered to the entire planet. I came in to offer moral support and give guidance on what it is we might be doing with the band tomorrow. The production load-in doesn't start until tomorrow morning, but the naked skeleton of the Claw is here, sitting in the stadium. It's not a sight I get to see very often and even two years later, it's impressive to see. The structure just looks colossal when it's sitting there in an empty stadium. Mind you, it looks equally colossal in a stadium full of people, so I suppose this shouldn't come as too big a surprise.
There's a song the band want to rehearse which is an album track that they've never played live. The backline crew played it through this afternoon, in order to get the sounds set up and it seemed very promising, so I hope it goes well with the band tomorrow. I'd like to get some more unplayed classics into the music arsenal.
We didn't linger too long and bailed by 6pm. I walked to the crew hotel to meet a friend who was in town and to meet up with some of the crew guys. It's about a fifteen-minute walk along quite busy roads with little pedestrian traffic. About half way there, I saw a guy up ahead, standing at the roadside next to a small motorbike. He couldn€™t have been more than twenty years old, wearing jeans and a t-shirt and holding a crash helmet. I could see that he was going to speak to me and I realised I was walking into a potential scam. I didn't slow down when he addressed me, telling me his name, saying he'd run out of petrol and could I help. He€™d give me the keys and I could see for myself that it wouldn€™t start and that his dilemma was genuine. I still didn't slow down and he walked with me for a good fifty metres or so, still holding his crash helmet and asking for money. I apologised for not being able to help, being a tourist and not knowing how things work here. And not slowing down. He eventually left me and (I guess) went back to his bike. I didn't feel particularly proud of the way I'd handled the situation but I'm in unfamiliar territory, so am not embarrassed about taking absolutely no chances.
An extraordinarily strong wind blew up this evening. By the time I reached the crew hotel it was gusting so strongly that I had to pay serious attention in order to not get blown into the road. I met my friend in the hotel bar and with a couple of other crew-members we headed out to the Waterfront (in a cab this time). There's a certain inevitability about ending up in a Belgian bar, so we didn€™t even try to resist. Dinner, a few drinks and back to the cocktail bar at the Hotel Fabulous. They were serving up some fine cocktails and it was remarkably reasonable too, given that this is probably the most expensive place to buy drinks in the whole of Cape Town. It was a fun night & one I needed after a week of feeling less than 100%.

Hi Willie! Love these blogs!! Speaking of CLASSICS...played and unplayed..."All I Want is You" is an amazing song on its own...but the version that Bono sang on the "U2 go Home, Live From Slane Castle" DVD (wish I could have been there) and the way he flowed into "Streets" was absolutely phenomenal! I cry every time I watch it and get chills up my spine...my techno/rap lovin' teenagers even watch in awe. Ohhhh, to hear these two songs performed like that again live...WOW! Will be at Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey July 20 with the family...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ASK THE BAND TO CONSIDER IT. Thanks...stay safe!

Some times you just have to trust your "Spidey senses" and get home safely. Can't wait to read some blogs when you're in South America.

Fez - Being Born
I think the extended interlude between Miss Sarajevo and City Of Blinding Lights with Fez mixed with elements of Zooropa and, to a lesser extent, Numb indicates that Fez - Being Born was likely the song Willie is talking about here. Although I suppose it could be Zooropa, as only the second half of that song has ever been performed and even then only three times. Whatever it was, I wonder if the band was only rehearsing it for Africa. Fez would make a lot of sense as an Africa-only setlist surprise. Here's hoping it hasn't died on the table and will be played in North America.

Within the bands entourage (certainly by comparison to the crews clockwork scheduling) travel departure times are often a little loose. This morning was especially so, due to three contradictory memos which had been emailed out last night and this morning.

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

Remember Leslie Caron of Gi-Gi, Lily, American in Paris, Damages, Le Divorce, more recently Law and Order.
Mm. C. said, 'bla bla bla' in French
Carol, I really enjoyed our day yesterday and even more so that it started off with the movie star in the metro. Still can't get over it! Also can't get over that you ate Osmont's crust - although not too surprising. His pastries are a dream. In any case, try finding pigeons here to feed them ;-)
Adore your incredible doggie sketches.
You've no idea how you've made my day: imagine being in the same title of your blog as Leslie Caron? Is that not cool?!
How exciting.I thought I remembered her owning a B and B? I am probably getting my beautiful French actresses mixed up..
How sweet of you to go and offer to help her..
You must have a great sense of direction..I can get lost in a phone booth..
I love your stories ..I wish you could have given her a sketch:) She would have loved it.
We grew up w/ Tintin,the movie was news to us this morning..again I think i heard rumblings.. but yay!.
Oh Carol! How exciting!! It was utterly classic of you to offer help and just take pictures of the dog. Don't forget , she was in Chocolate with Monsieur Depp. Je suis tres jaloux!ReplyDelete
How glorious!!! What a treat for all of us!! oh to be in Paris........my favorite place on earth!!!! blow it a kiss pour moi!! merci!!ReplyDelete
Is it just me, or is Paris always magique??ReplyDelete
Mon Dieu ... how FABULOUS for you .. an experience you will never forget .. great post which always makes me hungry ... hummm, I think Leslie may have a lesson for me ...ReplyDelete
What a wonderful post! How much fun was that to talk to L. C? And how funny that you would help her on the Metro.
The lemon macs look delish as well as the tarts. YUM.
Sounds to me like your encounter with Ms. Caron should definitely be in your coffee-table book. Serendipity madly at work in the Paris Metro.ReplyDelete
Oooooh, always loved Leslie Caron! Fabulous! Didn't she open a restaurant, or Inn, or something, at her beautiful home? She was hilarious in that goofy little movie with Cary Grant...Father Goose? Love your sketches, Carol.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh, those pastries are a work of art. Truly!
And those lemon macarons look delicious.
Ms.Caron's pooch is adorable.
Enjoying your blog, its a welcome break to my work day, thank you!
Even if I could follow Leslie Caron's example, where would Parisbreakfast be?
I'd be out of biz toute a suite!
At first I kept thinking 'Lily..something' - it was a part she played.
Then it came to me...
What a lovely woman.
What a treat! Mm. Caron, Jill and Lemon Macarons!ReplyDelete
Part II ... BTW, I was first drawn to your blog before I knew what a blog was ... when I searched google images for Paris at night ... and came up with a picture you posted, and then checked out the blog and started following .. so a wider net than pastries can sometimes draw in the fringes .... maybe?ReplyDelete
OMGosh. I love LC. I have the movie..Father Goose.. Loved her in that. What fun running into her and helping her out... Her Dog is adorable, and those macarons look to die for. Do you think you will try them again? What a fabulous day you had and a fun blog posting for today.ReplyDelete
Carol, you are such a kind and wise lady, I know that you would help anyone lost in the Metro, but how truly marvelous to have assisted this particular lady in distress.
The photo of Bear observing egg whites is classic.
Glad you did succumb to pastry crust. Don't stop at just one.
These Paris posts are delightful. xo
Bit I did get that way at a Salon du Chocolat book signing for Pierre Herme -
I burst into tears and never met him :(
Course I had no chance to anticipate with Mm. C. which certainly helped.
Besides I'm good at giving directions. It's my self-assigned job in NYC whenever I see anyone struggling with a map :)
LC did win Academy Award for LIli. I loved GiGi & American in Paris, of course. I also remember Is Paris Burning? Because it had James-Paul Belmondo, Alain Delon ,Charles Boyer, Yeves Montant,Anthony Perkins just to mention a few.I hope when I am 80 I look as good as Ms Caron! It was so nice of you to help her & for her to allow you to photograph TeaTea who is such a cutie!
Oh, now you have all the macron secrets! those lemon macs have me drooling! the goats & chickens snubbed my last rejects!
Je vous aidez? doesn't mean Can I help you? It really doesn't mean anything. Je peux vous aider? is what you need to say. [Vous aidez means You are helping/ you help]. Je peux? means 'Can I?' vous means 'you', aider means 'help/ to help'. The whole thing needs to be Je peux vous aider? or Peux-je vous aider? No big deal in the exciting situation of meeting Leslie Caron to have made a little error, but perhaps not a good thing to have the error sent world-wide for others to make. Prob no-one cares; they're too busy wishing they could buy those fabulous cakes. Regards Gwendoline AustraliaReplyDelete
Funny Gwendoline that every shop I go into says to me,
Je vous aidez?
Certainly Ms. Caron had no problem understanding me when I speak nor do most people here.
It's the French teachers who give me a hard time at PB...
I love Gigi! I first saw it in high school French class, and went out and bought the DVD. Lovely pictures, makes me miss France so much! I've been making macarons recently as well (found out about your blog through Jill), with flavors like foie gras, hibiscus, pistachio, mango & lychee.ReplyDelete

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- The House of Delegates has killed legislation requiring youth sports programs that use public school property to adopt procedures for dealing with concussions.
The House voted 53-40 Thursday to send the bill to its Courts of Justice Committee, which will not meet again before Saturday's scheduled adjournment.
Democratic Sen. Ralph Northam, a Norfolk pediatric neurologist, sponsored the bill to address what he said is a growing problem with concussions in youth sports.
But critics said the bill could subject volunteer coaches to liability for players' head injuries. Republican Del. Greg Habeeb of Salem said the liability issue needs to be considered by lawyers on the courts committee.
Democratic Del. Jennifer McClellan of Richmond disputed the claim of increased liability. She said opponents just wanted to kill the bill.

text: No-Moth® products use a powerful insecticide as their active ingredient. Insecticide control is recommended in instances where you've had a known infestation or believe you may have one. For these cases, we most often recommend No-Moth®. Unlike old fashioned moth balls or flakes made of camphor or naphthalene, No-Moth® provides the same effectiveness with only 1/4 the amount of vapors. No-Moth® leaves no clinging odors, so clothes can be worn immediately upon removal from the closet or storage area and exposed to fresh air. No-Moth® represents the latest alternative to traditional moth balls; it evaporates completely and will not stain clothing or textiles. One No-Moth Closet Hanger is effective for up to 43.75 cubic feet of space.
