Assuming a 2 second swing timer and a 390 second long boss fight, we are looking at about 195 total swing over the course of the fight.
390 / 2 = 195
Assume the tank is superhuman, we can assume that Shield Block will be used 13 times.
390 / 30 = 13
(where 30 seconds represents the cooldown on shield wall)
If Shield Block is used 13 times, we can calculate then the uptime of it given the 10 second duration and length of the fight.
(13*10) / 390 = .3333 or 33.33%
Given the above figures we can look at some avoidance percentages and start figuring. I will re-list the given avoidance figures:
5% - Base miss chance (this will not change, ever.)
10.46% - Dodge chance
12.59% - Parry chance
51.52% - Block chance
31.06% - Critical Block chance (Note that the sum of Block chance +25% does not exceed 100% and thus will not change the critical block chance.)
If we sum the chance to avoid attacks entirely (all less block/critical block) then take the percentage of each we end up with what percentage of attacks are avoided, and what the percentage of avoided attacks are.
.05 * .1046 * .1259 = .2805 or 28.05% attacks are estimated to be avoided.
Of these avoided:
.5 / .2805 = .1783 or 17.83% are Miss
.1046 / .2805 = .3729 or 37.29% are Dodge
.1259 / .2805 = .4488 or 44.88% are Parry
Shield Block:
Shield block is up for 10 seconds every use, and has a 30 second cooldown. Using the figures from above, we can estimate approximately how many hits you would take with shield block up, and how many of those are avoided, then how many are blocked (the remainder of hits after avoiding) as with shield block up and the above stats you are over 102.4% avoidance/block (commonly referred to as unhittable).
We have calculated that Shield Block is up for 130 seconds of the encounter, this is roughly 33.33% of said encounter. We have also stated that the maximum number of potential swings cannot exceed 195. So using these figures:
.3333 * 195 = ~65 swings while Shield block is active.
For simplicity, I intend to use avoidance as a straight percentages. PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH, AVOIDANCE (AND WINDMILLS) DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! In the law of averages, this is what you would expect to happen but as most of us have learned, this is not the way that avoidance works all the time in an encounter.
If our combined avoidance is 28.05%, we can use this to estimate the number of attacks avoided:
.2805 * 65 = ~18 avoided swings.
Using the percentages of that avoidance calculated earlier, we can estimate the number of parries give the avoided swings.
18 * .1783 = ~3 Miss
18 * .3729 = ~7 Dodge
18 * .4488 = ~8 Parry
This also allows us to calculate the remaining number of hits that are blocked, remember that with Shield Block up you would be 'unhittable'.
65 - 18 = 47 Blocked hits
Of these blocked hits we can calculate the critical blocks without having Hold the Line talented (again using the 'chance' as a flat percentage which is not entirely accurate).
47 * .3106 = ~15 critical blocks without Hold the Line.
Shield Block on CD:
******CD = Cool Down********
So Shield Block has been used at a super-human level, but what about the other 66.67% of the fight? Well first we need to calculate the number of hits in this section and then the avoided hits again.
195 - 65 = 130 Swings with Shield Block on CD.
130 * .2805 = ~36 Avoided swings
36 * .1783 = ~6 Miss
36 * .3729 = ~14 Dodge
36 * .4488 = ~16 Parry
Being that Shield Block is not up in this section, we only have a 51.52% chance to block, so using this we can estimate how many blocks we will have.
130 * .5152 = ~48 Blocked hits
130 - 48 - 36 = 46 Unblocked/avoided hits
Of the ~48 blocked hits, we still can estimate the critical blocks.
48 * .3106 = ~15 Critical Blocks
Hold The Line:
This talent increases your chance to critically block (what I am concerned with) and critical strike (threat) by 10% for 10 seconds following a successful parry once you have filled the talent out with 2/2 points. To calculate approximately how it affects the the results, I had to make some assumptions on how linear the fight would be. One such assumption is that all events would occur linearly over the course of a fight, ie. an even distribution. This is not the case in WoW, but for this purpose it will have to do as I do not have the means to appropriately simulate the events.
Using the linear distribution, I can calculate the frequency with which Hold the Line can occur and approximately how many blocks occur while Hold the Line is up. First I needed to calculate the frequency of a parry (and this is the BEST imagineable condition where you parry the first swing and continue to parry in a linear fashion) which I took the number of occurances of Parry and divided the time by the occurances, it is a rough calculation.
390 / (8 + 16) = ~16.25 seconds a parry occurs.
Following the same logic, I estimate the block frequency.
390 / (47 + 48) = ~5.42 seconds a block occurs.
Knowing that hold the line can only last 10 seconds, the assumption is that it falls off for ~6.25 seconds before being renewed. If a block can occur every 5.42 seconds and a parry every 16.25 seconds, we can estimate how many blocks fall into the Hold the Line buff.
If a parry occurs, a block cannot, however it starts a timeline. Parry at 0 seconds starts a 10 second timer, so at 2 seconds the boss swings again and assuming BEST POSSIBLE SCENARIO that hit is blocked, the next swing is at 4 seconds, then 6, at ~7 seconds you would block again, but the swing hasn't happened so assume the swing at 8 seconds is blocked, and now no based on linear distribution no blocks would occur until after 10 seconds had passed. This would mean 2/3 of blocks are with hold the line up.
Unfortunately it isn't as easy as that, as we need to figure out how long Hold the Line is up during Shield Block, and when Shield Block is NOT up. To do this, I took at look at the number of parries, the time it could last, and what percentage of the total time that was for Shield Block being up and not being up.
With Shield Block:
8 * 10 = 80 seconds
80 / 130 = ~.6154 or 61.54%
Without Shield Block:
16 * 10 = 160 seconds
160 / 260 = ~.6154 or 61.54%
So when looking at how much it increases the critical blocks in this scenario, I calculate how many critical blocks I have with the Hold the Line talent using the blocked hits.
With Shield Block:
47 * .6154 = ~29
Using the logic where if Hold the Line is up you block 2 times, I can then estimate the number of hits with a higher critical chance and a lower.
29 / 3 = ~10 (For this I say it is 10 and 1 hit does not occur when Hold the Line is up).
So I can safely assume now that 19 blocks occur when Hold the Line is up.
19 * .4106 = ~8 critical blocks.
Now I can calculate the rest of the blocks with the regular crit chance:
(10 + 18) * .3106 = ~9 critical blocks.
8 + 9 = 17 Critical blocks with Hold the Line vs. 15 Critical blocks without Hold the Line.
Without Shield Block:
48 * .6154 = ~30
Using the 2/3 blocks:
30 / 3 = 10
I can now assume that 20 blocks occur with Hold the Line up:
20 * .4106 = ~8 critical blocks.
The remaining blocks are now calculated:
(10 + 18) * .3106 = ~9 critical blocks.
To sum this section:
8 + 9 = 17 Critical blocks while hold the line is up Vs. 15 while Hold the Line is not up.
This would give us an additional 4 critical blocks over the course of a fight, which is essentially the same as blocking 4 more times.
Conclusion (if it can be called that):
In looking at the results in this very simplified example, Hold the Line is roughly the equivalent of blocking 4 more times. This would be equal to an approximate 3% increase in block frequency when Shield Block is not active. Looking at some damage from a 100k hit:
Looking at damage without shield block up:
(100,000 * (48 - 17)) * .7 = 2,170,000
(100,000 * 17) * .4 = 680,000
2,170,000 + 680,000 = 2,850,000 Damage with Hold the Line
(100,000 * (48-15)) * .7 = 2,310,000
(100,000 * 15) * .4 = 600,000
2,310,000 + 600,000 = 2,910,000 Damage without Hold the Line
So the difference between Hold the Line and not is ~60,000 damage for this example which is about 2/3 of the encounter length stated.
Note: It's late and I've been at this for a while, I will review this tomorrow after I've had some sleep.
****Please keep in mind that as I said: This is NOT concrete and is a rough example only. Avoidance is very much less predictable than this example, and critical block/block is equally as unpredictable. *****

Mercury Glass Candlestick Accent Lamp Base 4 4
The lamps were the perfect size. These lamps were just the right size for my mantle. I used Burlap shades with them. The look was perfect! October 18, 2013
Perfect lamp for decor I ordered this because I have a large mercury lamp in my room and I wanted a small one for my bedside to match. This looks very expensive and well made but was such a steal! My only complaint is that the on/off switch is on the cord, and hard to reach so I had to replace the entire top part to one that switches on/off at a more convenient location. But otherwise 12" is the perfect height for a nightstand light. January 11, 2014
cute lamp Wish you couldn't see the bulb so easily. Otherwise its a sweet look. I purchased the blue burlap shade for mine. June 25, 2013
Teeny Lamp This lamp is really nice looking but REALLY small/ low to the ground. The lampshade I ordered that was said to go with it looks ridiculous on it. This lamp shade stands maybe a foot off the table. It is a shame because its really nice looking, but the lamp shade totally overshadows it. August 19, 2013

The Glass Farm is a redevelopment of Schijndel's market square, which was heavily damaged during WWII. MVRDV's Winy Maas grew up in Schijndel and in 1980 he proposed redeveloping the market square to fill in a gap that was left between the church, town hall and main street. Over the next 20 years, the architect proposed a total of six designs, one of which included a theatre for the spot – however, they were shot down by the town. Finally his 7th proposal – a mixed-use retail and office project with a wellness centre – was accepted, although not without some opposition and discussion from the town. The reason why the 7th design was accepted is largely because it references the local architecture, including traditional farmhouses from the area.
The design evolved based on the maximum size the town council allowed, which is the area of a traditional Schijndel farm. Using the concept of a traditional farmhouse, the architects at MVRDV worked with artist Frank van der Salm to photograph the remaining farms and average them together to create a stereotypical farmhouse. The morphed image was then printed onto glass using fritting technology to create the building. At 1.6 times the size of the average farmhouse, Glass Farm is a scaled up version that reflects how the town has grown up over the years. It's designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia, and it may remind adults of their childhood and how things were bigger when they were smaller. During the day, the fritted glass allows daylighting into the interior, which minimizes heat gain. At night the interior lights shine out through the form and show off the building's printed farmhouse facade.

A very disappointing retreat from architectural reality by an obviously creative and conciliatory personality. Not architecture, just as a slide show or over/under scaled scheme will easily recruit imaginative thinking support (but unfortunately, short term architectural thinking). Badminton shuttle cocks and Welsh forced perspectives,in the final analysis,are definitively not architecture.
This is my opinion and not meant to offend. The project is on the wall and as such I feel obliged to contribute.

SilverStripe has emailing functionality using the built-in mail() function in PHP. Features include sending plaintext- and HTML emails, sending bulk emails, subscription, handling bounced back emails.
Your PHP configuration needs to include the SMTP module for sending emails. If you are not running an SMTP server together with your webserver, you might need to setup PHP with the credentials for an external SMTP server (see PHP documentation for mail()).
Sending combined HTML and Plaintext
By default, emails are sent in both HTML and Plaintext format.
A plaintext representation is automatically generated from the system
by stripping HTML markup, or transforming it where possible
text is converted to
$email = new Email($from, $to, $subject, $body); $email->send();
The default HTML template is located in
Sending Plaintext only
$email = new Email($from, $to, $subject, $body); $email->sendPlain();
- Create a SS-template file called, in this example we will use 'MyEmail.ss' inside
- Fill this out with the body text for your email. You can use any SS-template syntax (e.g.
<% loop %>,
<% if %>, $FirstName etc)
- Choose your template with setTemplate()
- Populate any custom data into the template before sending with populateTemplate()
$email = new Email($from, $to, $subject, $body); $email->setTemplate('MyEmail'); // You can call this multiple times or bundle everything into an array, including DataSetObjects $email->populateTemplate(Member::currentUser()); $welcomeMsg = 'Thank you for joining on '.date('Y-m-d'.'!'); $email->populateTemplate(array( 'WelcomeMessage' => $welcomeMsg, // Accessible in template via $WelcomeMessage )); $email->send();
Class definition:
<?php class MyEmail extends Email{ protected $to = '$Email', // Be sure to encase this in single-quotes, as it is evaluated later by the template parser $from = 'firstname.lastname@example.com', $ss_template = 'MyEmail'; }
<?php $email = new MyEmail(); $email->populateTemplate(Member::currentUser()); // This will populate the template, $to, $from etc variables if they exist $email->send(); // Will immediately send an HTML email with appropriate plain-text content
Administrator Emails
You can influence the default sender address of emails through the
configuration setting. This address is used if the
from field is empty.
Redirecting Emails
Further configuration settings relating to email rewriting:
Email.send_all_emails_towill redirect all emails sent to the given address. Handy for testing!
Email.bcc_all_emails_towill keep the email going to its original recipients, but add an additional recipient in the BCC/CC header. Good for monitoring system-generated correspondence on the live systems.
if(Director::isLive()) Config::inst()->update('Email', 'bcc_all_emails_to', "firstname.lastname@example.com"); else Config::inst()->update('Email', 'send_all_emails_to', "firstname.lastname@example.com");
Setting Custom Headers
For email headers which do not have getters or setters (like setTo(), setFrom()) you can use addCustomHeader($header, $value)
$email = new Email(...); $email->addCustomHeader('HeaderName', 'HeaderValue'); ..
See Wikipedia E-mail Message header for a list of header names.
The newsletter module provides a UI and logic to send batch emails.

Lucas Cranach the Elder
German, 1472–1553
Portrait of a Lady, c. 1540
oil, tempera on panel
76 x 56.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Lord and Lady Gort
This fashionable portrait of an aristocratic woman confirms Lucas Cranach's place as one of the most gifted and versatile portrait painters of his day. Offering a stunning display of wealth and status, the artist presents his sitter dressed in a richly brocaded gown, an extravagantly feathered hat, and impressive pearl-studded coiffure. It appears that Cranach may have been commissioned to depict the sitter in the popular guise of the legendary Old Testament woman Salome who, after agreeing to dance for Herod, demanded in return the severed head of John the Baptist on a charger. A radiograph of the painting reveals that the composition was significantly altered, perhaps during its production. The space directly beneath the woman's right arm originally featured a decapitated head on an oval platter.

The 2013 Rolex 24-hour race at Daytona comes down to the last hour [spoilers, w/video]
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Jan 28th, 2013 at 5:01PM
It took 24 hours to run the race, but it was the last one was stuffed with the high action as four cars were still trying to figure out how to gain victory on the track and in the pits. Along with the obligatory crashes, spins, mechanical issues and retirements had come numerous penalties, a double-digit number of full-course yellows and two hours of fog that turned early Sunday morning into a stretch of parade laps. The final hour would make up for the morning – drivers who might have been happy just to get on the podium had a shot at victory as the end of the race approached, and... Read More

If you are one of the legions of folks who have "upgraded" to a big-screen television set lately, then you've probably become spoiled by its wonderfully expansive picture.
Well, if you are a telescope user, you will be equally spoiled by the wide-field window into the heavens served up by this 21mm Orion Stratus Wide-Field Telescope Eyepiece. With an apparent field of 68° — which translates to a 71% greater viewing area than that of a typical 52° Plossl, this telescope eyepiece quite literally puts more stars in your eyes. In the same way you feel more a part of the action watching a big-screen TV, with this Stratus "sixty-eight" you will feel like you are really experiencing your celestial targets, rather than just viewing them from afar. You'll never go back to Plossls again!
But it isn't just the Stratus' field of view that will widen your eyes. This telescope eyepiece has a sophisticated eight-element optical configuration that features a monster 1-1/4"-diameter eye lens to look into. It has a generous 20mm eye relief, so you'll get the "big picture" even if you wear eyeglasses. The optics are fully multi-coated to maximize light transmission to your eyes, and the lens edges are blackened to ensure excellent contrast.
This 21mm Orion Stratus Wide-Field Telescope Eyepiece fits in both 1.25" and 2" focusers. It sports fold-down rubber eyeguards and a knobby rubber grip. The chrome barrel features a setscrew security recess and is threaded for filters. The telescope eyepiece comes with protective lens and barrel caps.

Could we have a new thread maybe, with a synopsis of whats going here...I don't want to read dozens of pages, but know I'm missing out....
The difference between try and triumph is a little "umph"! NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!
Lefty, Chop said it right. I want to partake in the purchase of this knife too. I'm hoping i'm on the list. Perhaps you could post a list to the forum so that we can each confirm our order? TKS
There's no official list, yet. Just this very long thread to gauge approximate interest.
After the prototypes go out to the testers, and their feedback is taken into consideration, the design will be finalized. At that point, people will be asked to make their orders official by making deposits. (I am assuming a new thread will be started by then. Right now, there is no action anyone needs to take, since it's still too early to get on the order list.)
Todd nailed it. I will compile a list in the coming days of tentative "yesses", and if you are not on there and want to be, let me know, and vice-versa.
Also - we're getting closer with the prototypes. *Key mysterious music*
Without reading through 24 pages, can someone please describe what these knives are like?
We want to give a classic American knife making company a chance to redeem themselves by collaborating with them to create the ultimate throwback knife with modern materials and techniques. A knife designed by us for us that we can recommend over any other knife in it's price range when a new member asks, "What knife should I get?" Simply the best bang for your buck knife with amazing cutting ability in a hardened carbon steel that's easy to sharpen and retains it's edge for quite a while.
Shall I continue?...
Starting this harvest I'm a starving startling artist/

Over the years, several participants in the Massachusetts State Science & Engineering Fairs have truly made a lasting impression. Rick Housley is one of them. Now a sophomore at Stevens Institute of Technology, Rick graduated from Boston University Academy in 2012. A multi-award-winning exhibitor during his middle and high school years, Rick launched his science fair career with the development of a computer controlled robotic arm in 6th grade. Rick recalls that the complexity of his projects increased from year to year:
"As I matured my projects did too. They grew in complexity, depth, and real-world applicability. In 7th grade I made the robotic arm wireless. In 8th grade I developed a device capable of controlling electrical sockets via text message. In 9th grade I made my 8th grade project capable of controlling almost anything via text message, even those troublesome home appliances. In 10th grade I found my passion for biomedical devices and developed a wearable navigation system for blind users: a device that would announce to the user the location of 'key objects' within a room."
Rick won the prestigious... Read More

Floyd Snyder, 87, Weippe
Floyd Gordon Snyder, formerly of Weippe, passed away
Floyd was born to
He was a fun-loving and mischievous boy who was raised in a family of eight children (five boys and three girls). Floyd was eight years old when his father passed away, and his mother passed away when he was eleven years old. The close-knit family of children managed to stay together with the help of their grandmother, Lillian Teed.
During those years, Floyd was educated in the Weippe schools. When he was 14 years old and a freshman in high school, he worked nights in a lumber mill on a green chain and went to school by day.
Floyd was a proud member of Weippe's first six-man football team, and he played on the school's basketball team.
Floyd married his
high school sweetheart, Barbara (Wells) Snyder,
In off-seasons, he worked at various locations as an operating engineer through the Operating Engineer's Local 370 running heavy equipment. In 1973 the couple sold their ranch and moved to Weippe where they still own their home.
Floyd loved basketball. He attended referee classes and served as a referee for high school games. He also played for several years on Weippe and Pierce town teams. For three years, he coached basketball to a group of boys from their fifth grade year through eighth grade. This group of boys later went on to win the state championship in their league. Floyd was really proud of the boys' accomplishment.
Floyd enjoyed hunting, camping, fishing, team roping, going to auction sales, and serving as a livestock project 4-H leader. He never knew a stranger, and he always enjoyed visiting with other people. He also enjoyed listening to music provided by family members. Family was very important to Floyd.

Jeffrey P. Ott, of Pierce, 1957-2011
Copperhead is gone. Kicking-up daisies dead. That little SOB finally threw in the shop towel. He said, "I love you all, but I'm tired of this crap. I'm gonna go have a few beers with Dale and talk about what a bunch of wussies they have driving and running NASCAR."
He gave it a ride, though. Someone wrote, "The purpose of life's journey is not to arrive at the grave with a well-preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, completely used up, yelling and screaming, what a ride!"
With Copperhead, it was a four-wheel drift around a tight curve going up to Jump Off Joe on a summer day with a Rainier in his crotch in a Sunbeam Alpine with the top down on a newly graveled road, with the tach pinned and white knuckles on the steering wheel - spewing gravel in the faces of all the doctors that told him he wouldn't make it.
Wouldn't make it, my butt! He's been flipping the bird at the medical profession for so many years that he'll need physical therapy to wrap his hand around a cold one. Ah, Copperhead. What a ride. And what a love! CH will always mean cars and love. Your love of cars and your love of the people you touched. And your scathing wit.
Dang, you were a presence. And you knew how to deal with customers. "Do you have a fan belt for a '65 slant six?" "Yep." "Can I get one?" "Yep." "...Why aren't you getting it for me?" "Cause you didn't say please." and "How much is an air filter for a '76 Volare?" "$12.99." "Schucks only charges $6.99 but they're out of them." "Yeah, well we only charge $4.99 when we're out of them." Dang you were funny. And you were determined to go the way you wanted to - peacefully at home with your mommy and your sisters by your side.
We'll think of you every time we see a Hillman for sale. We'll think of you every time we see a NASCAR logo. We'll think of you every time we talk to a friend and know they're listening to us and loving us.
Goodbye, you beautiful curmudgeon. As you're cruising the back roads of heaven looking for that barn-car that you can buy for $100, sell for $500, buy back for $100 and resell for $500 - as you're doing that, just smile down on us occasionally and keep a cold Bud in the back-seat cooler for us. We'll all be there eventually, and we'll be dang thirsty.
The family would like to invite you to a celebration of life for Jeff this Saturday, July 23, starting at 2 p.m., in the courtyard at the Timber Inn in Pierce, ID. If you would like to bring a dish please do. If not, please, just bring yourselves.

William G. Crutcher, 81, former resident
William G. (Bill)
He was born in Ahsahka to James and May Crutcher "in the little house up on the hill that looked over the river." He was raised in the Orofino area.
As a youngster, Bill loved to fish in the area where Dworshak Dam is now located. He would also hunt the area behind the dam for deer. His father always told him "you can catch a fish where there aren't any fish and find a deer where there aren't any deer."
Bill served in the Korean War returning in 1954. He had gone to a movie and stopped off for a cup of coffee at the Empire Café where he met "a little bubbly red-head" named Marilyn Williams. He escorted her home every night after that until they married in June. With this bond came three children, twins Jan (Johnson) and Jill (Murphey), and a third daughter, Judi Crutcher. Though now divorced, Bill and Marilyn remained very good friends.
As a young man
Bill worked at the Riverside Mill in Orofino. From 1967-1971, he
served in the
Bill was involved in many civic, fraternal, and governmental organizations, including Jaycees, Odd Fellows, Eagles, Elks, AMVETS, Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Club to name a few. He was also involved with the Orofino Little League as coach and umpire for 17 years, one of the favorite "jobs" that he ever had.
He was involved with OCI (Orofino Celebrations Inc.) For 40 years, he was the auctioneer at the Orofino Lumberjack Days. He loved this because he would prank many of his friends such as selling a box of cigars worth $7 for $45 or selling a hair permanent to a bald guy.
Bill was preceded in death by his brother Jim.
He is survived by his angel, Bernice Charlton (Miss Kitty) of Weston, WA, daughters Jan Johnson, Jill Murphey and Judi Crutcher, all of Boise; sister Mary Ellen Starkey, Arizona; ex-wife and friend Marilyn Williams, Boise; four grandchildren, Stephanie Hendrickson, Dustin Strickland and his wife Heidi, Riley Johnson, all of Boise and Janelle Ritchey and her husband Dave, Scottsdale, AZ and great-grandchildren Austyn Mason and Trevor Strickland.

I have this unquenchable desire for exploring volcanoes, you give me a choice between blue Caribbean beaches, golden yellow deserts, frozen tundras and volcanoes...I would go for the last one allowing my heart to make the decision and not brain. Having less than a week at my disposal in Mexico and despite ticket screw-up we could still make it to the volcano Nevado de Toluca!
Located at an altitude of 4700m, Nevado de Toluca is the fourth highest extinct volcano in Mexico (after the volcanoes Pico de Orizaba in Veracruz, Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl in Puebla) that belongs to Transvolcanic belt of Mexico. It also has got a tongue-twisting Nahuatl name Xinantécatl, which would take atleast 10 attempts to get it right. The volcano is about 22km from city of Toluca in the state of Mexico. The caldera of the volcano is about 1.5Km long and has two precious lakes, lago del sol and lago de la luna divided by a small mountain. It's last eruption happened in 1330 and it's extinct since then. The speciality of this volcano is, it's the only volcano whose crater could be accessed by a normal car, not even a 4x4 is needed.
We reached Toluca airport by 9 in the morning and Ricardo picked us from airport at 9:20. Ricardo got off at his house and gave use directions to get out of Toluca city to head towards the volcano. We thanked him and countinued in Lupita's Renault Clio to the volcano, after a small stop-over for road side tamales (chicken or poblano chillis in green or red salsa) and atole de coco (coconut flavoured corn malt drink). We hit the highway 134 and we could see the giant volcano at the horizon, like a white cloud. We turned left at highway 10, that leads to entrance of the park, parque de los Venados (entrance 20 pesos per car). From there it's a 17km metal road that leads all the way to crater. The journey is a very picturesque one, winding dusty roads amidst dense pine forests with the view of the snow capped volcano approaching nearer every turn.
As we got closer, the volcano unveiled it's stony texture with a kiss of snow, surrounded by golden yellow grasslands. Six kilometers from the crater, is a gate with a small store selling water and juice, also there is a toilet and parking space. From here you can either continue in your car until caldera or hike up for 2km along the scenic pass, Paso de Quetzal. We chose the latter method and started the not-so-steep-looking hike. Trust me that short and easy looking hike made us pant like exhausted hounds, due to the altitude. We lived in Monterrey which was around 500m above the sea level, while Nevado was around 4700m high. The oxygen was highly depleted and every step of the hike had to be done like a tortoise. Behind us, the big valley of Toluca city was covered by an ugly layer of polluted clouds that met the clear blue skies at the horizon. As we reached the peak, the breathtaking view of the lakes and the caldera made us forget our exhaustion.
On to the left is the smaller but deeper la laguna de la luna (the moon lake) and on the right is the larger and greener la laguna del sol (the sun lake) both separated by a small hill. The sun lake is surrounded by gigantic dusty walls of the volcano, while the moon lake has an approach for the vehicles. When started descending to the moon lake, on the high mountains a huge apparition of cloud started forming, but the sky was mostly clear except for this cloud and the sun shone bright. The descent to the lake is along the dusty volcanic screes but a quick one. I unbuckled my shoes and wet my feet in the moon lake, water is clean but freezing and there were stone small stone boulders everywhere on the banks and inside the lake. By this time, the ghostly cloud had spread all over; we could feel the fall in mercury levels.
We spent not more than 10 minutes at the moon lake and started walking towards the sun lake, temperature fell further and it was very noticeable. As we reached the big green sun lake, we saw the clouds entering the valley at a very low altitude and a very light snow-fall started. We wanted to go around the lake, but a guide suggested us not to do so for the weather was getting worse. We spent another 10 minutes at the lake and started ascending, the snow-fall gradually increased too. By the time we reached the point, from where we had started the descent, the snow-fall had accelerated and the same landscape with dusty brown screes were now covered with thin bright carpet of snow. I guess there was atleast 15 degrees drop in mercury levels in a matter of 20 minutes. I had never seen snow in Mexico and thanks to Nacho, I happened to see it just 2 days before my departure.
We enjoyed every moment in snow before we started our descent to the car. As we started our journey back, the clouds started clearing. We drove slowly enjoying the scenary and when we reached highway 134, we again saw the volcano was consumed by vast dense cloud expanse. We head to Toluca centro and had lunch of tacos de cecina (thin salted beef cuts) and spent rest of the evening with the company of Lupita, Sandra and Ricardo. Before I end the article, I would like to thank wholeheartedly to Nacho for arranging the whole thing, Lupita for lending her car, Ricardo for picking us in the airport and Sandra for accompanying us and accommodating at their place.
