may 2014..using gorilla epoxy, glue glass to glass, used marine epoxy for copper to metal washer. the later worked just fine, but the washer to the glass did not. plate fell off. I checked and glue was soft. now using acetone to try and clean it up. what did I do wrong? I've read many hints and there are so many ideas on what glue to use. getting discouraged. all those pretty pictures and none of them mine. |

I used E6000 to glue the metal threaded 1" hex nut to the glass plate back In a vertical position. I let it dry 24 hours before threading the rebar into the hex nut and placing the completed flower in the landscape. I also used the same E6000 to glue the various glass pieces together. Has held up well so far! |

E6000 is one of the best glues around, but I've read that it isn't UV resistant so I've stuck with silicone II for windows and doors. Works for me for the last 3 years. |
I found UV6800 that works the same as E6000 but doesn't discolor in the sun, made by the same company. It's hard to find though. The first time I bought it I got it online from AFTOSA at $5.99 a tube. I finally found it at an ACE Hardware store too but it was $7.99. I also researched how long it stays good in the tube and should be used in 2 years so check the date on the bottom of the tube. I've used it after the 2 years and it seems to be holding up just find. I first made plate flowers and totems 5 years ago with E6000 and they are still holding together but of course the glue has discolored. |

Today I used E6000 for the first time in a long time. They fumes nearly did me in even with the window open. |
The first BB I made was with GE clear silicone II, for windows and doors, about 15 years ago. It has been through hurricanes, hail storms and all kinds of hot and cold weather (ice storm this past winter) and it is just now beginning to 'lose its marbles' I also have totems that have been out for about that long. I made those before they were called 'totems' LOL I believe in this type of silicone. |

Deodorize Your Fridge With Yesterday's Newspaper
Has your refrigerator developed an unpleasant smell? Newspaper absorbs odor, so try scrunching up a few sheets and spritzing them with water. Tuck the newspaper balls into corners and drawers, then leave them there overnight to absorb the stench.
To keep odor at bay, use sheets of newspaper to line refrigerator drawers; replace every couple of weeks.
For help keeping the rest of the kitchen sparkling, consult this step-by-step guide to ensure a thorough clean.

Owens Strikes Out 8 In Tribe Loss
Watching from the dugout: Pedro Alvarez, Tom Filer, Dusty Brown, Jordy Mercer, Kris Watts
Toledo Mud Hens 5, Indianapolis Indians 1
[ box ]
The Indianapolis Indians must have used up too many of the hits in their bats in yesterday's 10-4 win, because today they were back to scoring just one run, as they did in the two previous games against the Toledo Mud Hens. Tonight at Victory Field, the Tribe posted just 4 hits on their way to their lone run, while the Mud Hens stacked up 12 hits and 5 runs.
Rudy Owens (photo) struck out a season-high 8 batters in his start for the Tribe, but he also gave up 8 hits and could not get through the 5th inning. He was charged with his 6th loss of the season, giving him a 6-6 record.
The game began with LF Will Rhymes lining a double into right field for a double. Owens struck out the next two batters, 3B Danny Worth and rehabbing 2B Carlos Guillen. DH Ryan Strieby lined a single into left field, and Rhymes raced around to score from second base. Owens struck out former Indy Indian CF Jeff Salazar to end the inning, then began the 2nd by striking out 1B Scott Thorman. RF Ben Guez doubled into center field with one out in the 2nd, but a fly out and another strikeout left Guez on base.
(Photo: Pitching coach Tom Filer, Rudy Owens, Dusty Brown, Corey Wimberly)
Owens also worked around a one-out hit by Worth in the 3rd — a bloopy hit that fell into no-man's land behind first base, out of reach of Tribe RF Miles Durham, 1B Matt Hague, and 2B Corey Wimberly. Salazar struck out again to lead off the 4th inning. Thorman singled into right field, then with two strikes on Guez, Thorman took off to try to steal second base. Guez swung and missed on strike three, and as he finished his swing, he stumbled a bit, causing his bat to come around and hit C Dusty Brown. Brown was in the middle of throwing to second base as he was hit by the bat, and it caused his throw to go off-target. Guez was out on the strikeout, and since he was already out, the penalty for the batter interference ruling was that the base runner Thorman was also called out at second base.
Alvarez Returns To Tribe
Happy Fourth of July!
Toledo Mud Hens 2, Indianapolis Indians 1
[ box ]
3B Pedro Alvarez (photo) arrived in Indianapolis today to continue his rehab work, after suffering a strained right quad muscle while playing for the Pirates. He has had some set-backs in his rehab program, but has been on rehab assignments with both the GCL Pirates (1 game) and the A+ Bradenton Marauders (6 games). Tonight Alvarez contributed 2 hits as the Designated Hitter in the Indians' loss to the Toledo Mud Hens in front of a sold-out crowd at Victory Field.
Tribe starter Sean Gallagher made the start, but suffered his 9th loss of the season. He pitched into the 6th inning, and allowed 2 runs on just 3 hits and 2 walks, with 4 strikeouts. Gallagher had only one inning in which he retired the Mud Hens in order (the 5th). He allowed a line drive single into center field by LF Timo Perez in the 1st inning, then walked DH Scott Thorman to open the 2nd inning. RF Ben Guez followed the walk with a grounder back through the middle. The ball glanced off Gallagher's glove then on to 2B Brian Friday, who flipped the ball to SS Jordy Mercer at second for the force out on Thorman. The Indians were hoping for a double play, but Mercer's throw to first base was wide to the infield side, pulling 1B Matt Hague off the first base bag, and Guez was safe. Gallagher ended the inning with a tapper back to the mound by former Indy Indian Argenis Diaz and a pop out by C Omir Santos.
Bowker's Clutch RBI Gives Indians Extra-Inning Win
Indianapolis Indians 4, Toledo Mud Hens 3
[ box ]
After 5 scoreless innings with a tie score, the Indians pushed across a run in the top of the 12th, then held on for the win over the Mud Hens at Fifth-Third Field in Toledo, Ohio.
With two outs in the top of the 12th, 2B/3B Brian Friday worked a walk. LF John Bowker (photo) lashed a double into the right-center field alley, over the head of Toledo RF Ben Guez, and off the wall. Friday was off and running with the pitch, and he rounded third and headed for the plate as Guez chased down the ball. He crossed the plate well ahead of the throw, scoring the go-ahead run for the Indians.
The Mud Hens jumped right on Tribe starter Justin Wilson in the bottom of the 1st inning. Lead-off batter DH Will Rhymes with a single, and LF Timo Perez doubled, putting runners on the corners. Rhymes scored on an RBI single into right field by rehabbing 2B Carlos Guillen, and Perez came in on an RBI single by 1B Ryan Strieby, for a 2-0 lead. Strieby stole second base and 3B Danny Worth walked. Wilson got out of the inning when he struck out RF Scott Thorman, and C Kris Watts fired down to third base, throwing out Strieby trying to steal third. SS Cale Iorg added a run in the 2nd inning on a solo homer, giving the Mud Hens a 3-0 lead.
Wilson went on to pitch 4 more innings, scattering 3 more singles (by Rhymes, Iorg, and Strieby) and two walks (Guillen and Strieby), but he did not allow another run. He threw 91 pitches, with 52 strikes.
9th Inning Rally Defeats Tribe
Syracuse Chiefs 5, Indianapolis Indians 4
[ box ]
The Indians were one out away from a win at Alliance Bank Park in Syracuse, NY tonight, but a two-out rally led to a walk-off for the Chiefs.
The Tribe went into the bottom of the 9th with a 4-3 lead, and Justin Thomas (photo) in from the bullpen. Thomas got two quick outs, with a ground out and a strikeout. Then he gave up a soft looper into center field by Syracuse 2B Steve Lombardozzi. 3B Matt Antonelli singled on a grounder up the middle, moving Lombardozzi to second base. Thomas was relieved by Jose Ascanio, so that the righty Ascanio could face the right-handed RF Jesus Valdez. Valdez lifted a fly ball into the right-center gap. Tribe RF Andrew Lambo gave chase, and after a long run he made a desperate dive — but could not come up with the ball. The ball got past him, and turned into a 2-RBI double, scoring Lombardozzi with the tying run and Antonelli with the winning run.
Rudy Owens made the start for the Tribe. He had missed his last turn for a start, due to a bruise on his hand, suffered when a come-backer hit him while on the mound. Owens worked around a fielding error by SS Pedro Ciriaco and a walk to Jesus Valdez in the 1st inning, escaping the jam with the help of a timely around-the-horn double play, 3B Andy Marte to 2B Brian Friday to 1B Matt Hague. With one out in the 2nd inning, LF Jeff Frazier and Indiana University product SS Seth Bynum hit back-to-back doubles. Frazier scored to put the Chiefs onto the scoreboard. After a fly out, Syracuse starter JD Martin singled through to left field, and Bynum raced around from second base. But LF John Bowker's throw to C Kris Watts was on target, and Watts tagged out Bynum at the plate for the third out of the inning. Syracuse manager Randy Knorr argued the call at the plate, but only got himself ejected by plate umpire Chad Whitson for his efforts.
Burres Struggles, But Ciriaco Returns With A Vengeance
Syracuse Chiefs 8, Indianapolis Indians 5
[ box ]
The Indians opened a 4-game series against the Syracuse Chiefs tonight with a disappointing loss at Alliance Bank Stadium in Syracuse, NY. Starter Brian Burres suffered the loss, unable to get out of the 4th inning. 2B Pedro Ciriaco (photo), in his first game back with the Indians after being sent down from Pittsburgh, extended his (interrupted) hitting streak to 8 games with 3 hits.
The Pirates' roster shuffling continued today. OF Jose Tabata was officially placed onto the Disabled List with the injury to his quad. That move allowed them to bring INF Josh Harrison back to the big league team immediately, instead of having to wait for 10 days after they'd sent him down. And, as anticipated, OF Alex Presley was officially placed onto the Pirates' active roster.
In order to fill in spots on the Indians' roster, OF Anthony Norman and SS Jordy Mercer were promoted from AA Altoona to Indianapolis today. Mercer had been hitting .268 for the Curve, with 17 doubles, 13 homers, and 48 RBI. Norman had appeared in 15 games for the Curve, hitting .342 with 2 doubles, 2 triples, and 4 RBI. Also, INF Josh Rodriguez was sent to Altoona. Just acquired from the Cleveland Indians last week, Rodriguez was 5-for-11 at the plate with 6 RBI for the Tribe in 4 games.
LF John Bowker got the Indians going tonight with his third home run in three days. Newcomer RF Anthony Norman began the game with a ground-rule double down the left field line. 2B Pedro Ciriaco dropped down a bunt and beat it out for a single, moving Norman to third. That brought up Bowker, who blasted a 3-run homer over the right field wall. 1B Matt Hague followed the homer with a double, and 3B Andy Marte walked, but the were left on base. The Indians had a quick 3-0 lead.
Starter Brian Burres (photo) retired the Chiefs in order in the first inning, but he struggled after that. The bottom of the 2nd began with a single by 1B Chris Marrero, then a strikeout, then two more singles by LF Jeff Frazier and former Indiana University player SS Seth Bynum. With the bases loaded and one out, CF Corey Brown tapped a grounder back to the mound, where Burres fired back to C Kris Watts, forcing out Marrero at the plate. That delayed but didn't prevent the inevitable — Syracuse pitcher Craig Stammen singled to drive in Frazier from third, cutting the Indians' lead to 3-1.
The Chiefs kept on going in the 3rd. With two outs, Marrero walked, then C Jesus Flores doubled, bringing Marrero all the way around from first base to score. Frazier also walked, and both Flores and Frazier scored when Bynum lifted a long fly ball to right-center, which bounced off Norman's glove for a double. That gave the Chiefs a 4-3 lead. The 4th inning began with another pair of singles, including a second single by the pitcher Stammen, and one by 2B Steve Lombardozzi. A wild pitch from Burres put both runners into scoring position. Burres walked 3B Mark Antonelli, and ball four was another wild pitch, allowing Stammen to score from third. After a strikeout, Burres was relieved by Chris Leroux. Leroux gave up a single to Marrero, driving in Lombardozzi, then got out of the inning with a fly out and a ground out. That gave the Chiefs a 6-3 lead. Burres threw 90 pitches (59 strikes) in his 3.1 innings, allowing those 6 runs on 8 hits and 3 walks, with 3 strikeouts.

I want to post my story on here in the hopes that it might be helpful to someone. About two years ago, my then 84 year old father began suffering from anemia. The doctors decided to perform a colonoscopy as well as a scope down the throat (can't remember the name of that one). They performed two of these tests within a two month period. As you might be aware, these tests require anesthesia. Following the first test, my father was quite loopy and had some minor difficulty regaining his mental capacities. After the second test he again experienced mental incapacities in his recovery; in the midst of this he fell and fractured his back. He was readmitted to the hospital, and he then began following a trajectory of decline that ultimately resulted in his becoming severely confused, and we were forced to admit him to the nursing home. The doctors diagnosed him with dementia, and they refused to listen to us when we insisted that he was fine (with the exception of the symptoms of anemia) two weeks earlier. My brother, a clinical psychologist who has done a great amount of study and has been published on the topic of delirium, insisted to the doctors that my father had a delirium. They said we were in denial. While my Dad was in the nursing home, his condition declined because his anemia was not being treated properly. I won't go into that detail here, but suffice it to say that I was doing everything humanly possible to get the right medicine for my father. My father's decline was so striking that the neurologist even suggested to us that my father had Creutzfeld-Jacob disease, a rare disorder which is marked by sudden onset of dementia-type symptoms. My father's symptoms ultimately rendered him combative, incontinent, confused, he had no appetite, he had difficulty swallowing, he was unable to stand or walk without falling, etc. In October (he had been admitted to the nursing home in July) I was finally able to get the correct medicine for his anemia. He began a slow recovery. I brought him home in March. Today I am happy to report that he is out working in his shop shelling pecans for our upcoming Christmas. He turns 86 in a couple of weeks. His greatest complaint is that I won't let him drive.
I mention all of this to you only because it seems that this is typical path a lot of elderly people follow, yet in certain situations there are things we CAN do to help them get better. I want to mention a few things I learned in our process: 1. Regarding anemia: there is a drug called Aranesp which is very effective in treating anemia. It is expensive; but it works. Procrit did not work for us. My father's anemia was quite severe. He received four units of blood when he was first admitted to the hospital. Then while he was in the nursing home his hemoglobin again dropped to transfusion grade, but they refused to transfuse him (another long story I won't go into here). Once he began receiving the Aranesp, his blood count began improving; we check it regularly, but he has not had to have an injection since last December.
For those of you who are fighting for the finest quality of life possible for your loved ones, you have my deepest respect—don't give up. |

May I also add to this that we always check with our physician when tweaking any of my father's medication. But I'll also mention (once again, SADLY) that I've never had ONE doctor suggest that we reassess my father's medicines, although they've always been happy to prescribe more. |
Even middle age people are being over medicated by many Dr's The pharmaceutical people who visit the Dr's will really push their products, free this free that etc even to the reception people. Very few Dr's will evaluate a persons condition why??because the insurance companies dictate how long they spend with each patient, in fact a Physician's Assistant will do most of the work, ask most of the questions, and Doc will glance at the chart, ask about 3 questions, and say get this filled and rarely follows up and gets annoyed if either the patient or family asks a question. Just the way it is unless you yell, scream and threaten! Which I have been know to do. Our Dr is so good with us and takes more time that he is prescribed to and does follow up and/or listens to us Very unusual! |
What OP described is VERY common. Every case is different, of course, but many doctors (in my experience with my mother and father) are quite careless. Mis-diagnosis; inappropriate medication; over-medication; failure to monitor; etc. Pity the older person that doesn't have an interested advocate available. The "system" is soooo broken. |

Superintendent Jesse King and pastors within the district area — Shelby, Duncan and Alligator — are coming together to donate money for new bicycles for 23 advanced testers in grades three through eight.
The bikes will make for an early Christmas present and will be delivered on Dec. 21.
King said the concept went over well when it was mentioned at Monday's monthly board of trustees meeting.
"This incentive encourages the children to work hard and become better students," said King. "We just wanted to reward them and go the extra mile for their success."
A previous strategy meeting of over a dozen local ministers and district administrators laid the framework for the inaugural program, which King said he hopes to keep running.
School board president and pastor of Pilgrim Chapel M.B. Church in Winstonville, Rev. Jefferick Butler, said all the churches have been supportive.
"The ministers are exited to bring joy to the hard-working students," said Butler. "We hope this will be an ongoing thing for us — the kids deserve it."
The platform will also raise money for the 18 high school students who are recognized for their testing achievements.
Butler said each of the older students would receive gift cards depending on how much money is raised.
In other news, the district PTA is working on a Sharing and Caring campaign to provide gift bags for every K-8 student before Christmas break begins.
"This is a massive undertaking for us but I think it sets a good example about sharing and caring to our students," said King.
Finally, Butler mentioned a three-week church basketball tournament would begin next spring to raise money for graduating high school seniors.
The money raised will be evenly distributed in checks to every student who marches at graduation next May.
The students are encouraged to put the funds toward the beginning of their college careers.
In non-fundraising news, the district will host its first K-12 Christmas musical at 5:30 p.m. on Monday at Broad Street High School in Shelby.

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving

In "Heeding the Call," a Tapestry of Faith program
This activity encourages participants to reflect on their lives and the experiences that have made them aware of who they are and their social justice activity. This activity is based on "Alphabiography Project: Totally You" from the website Read Write Think. Used by permission.
Distribute paper and pencils.
Invite youth to name any biographies they have had to write in school (about Presidents, etc.). Explain that they will create an activist biography about their own lives—the people, places, things, and events that have shaped their awareness of themselves and the justice and injustice that exists in the world—that is, their social justice identity. Acknowledge that participants have not had many years yet to act against injustice. Still, they have had experiences—some of which come easily to mind and others that do not.
Ask participants to think about times they became aware of injustice. When were they in situations like the people in the story—where wrong was taking place? Did anyone point out the situation or urge them to help? Maybe they marched for peace, gave to a justice fundraiser, or gathered signatures to support legislation. They might have read about discrimination in history class or seen a movie about the experiences of a minority. Let participants take a moment to note these experiences on one side of their paper.
Let them know that this biography has a twist. It's an "alphabiography" so they will be writing about a person, place, thing, or event for as many letters of the alphabet as possible. Start with "A" and think of a person, place, thing or event that influenced how they think of social justice that begins with the letter "A." Example might include "Americans of Japanese descent were interred in camps during World War II" or "Amy Jones organized a demonstration at our congregation against the war in Iraq" or "Airport security screens men of Arab descent more often than men of European descent." Help youth find an answer to "A," then invite the group to continue on their own or working with friends. As they go through the alphabet, they should not feel they have to have an entry for every letter. Continue for fifteen minutes.
When fifteen minutes have passed, invite them to discuss what it feels like to write about oneself in this way. What kind of memories occurred during their writing? Were there many people and events that have shaped their views of social justice or do they need more?

Dec 12, 2012 12:09 PM by Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A suburban Portland, Oregon, shopping mall remains closed while crime scene experts detail the shooting that left three people dead and one wounded and sent Santa and thousands of shoppers running.
Clackamas County sheriff's Sgt. Adam Phillips says the shooter was a man in his 20s who apparently fired at random before taking his own life at the Clackamas Town Center.
There's no known connection between the gunman and the man and woman who were killed and the young woman who was wounded.
Oregon Health & Science University Hospital in Portland says Kristina Shevchenko is in serious condition.
Phillips says Tuesday's shooting at a mall with 7,000 customers and 2,000 employees could have been much worse. Stores and police followed training from a shooting drill at the mall earlier this year.

[1963] Cellular Neurothekeoma: Ultrastructural Features and Comparison with Plexiform Fibrohistiocytic Tumor
J Hicks, E Wartchow, J Barrish, SH Zhu, L Goin, J Schrieber, G Mierau. Texas Children's Hospital & Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX; The Children's Hospital, Aurora, CO
Background: Cellular neurothekeoma (CNK) is a benign cutaneous neoplasm that affects children and young adults and occurs in the upper extremity, and head and neck. Similarly, plexiform fibrohistiocytic tumor (PFHT) is a cutaneous tumor affecting children and young adults in a similar pattern. In contrast, PFHT tends to recur locally and has metastatic potential (low-grade malignancy). CNK and PFHT share certain histopathologic and immunocytochemical features, leading to difficulty in separating a benign (CNK) tumor from a low-grade malignancy (PFHT).
Design: Patient population consisted of 6 children with CNK (4F:2M, age range 2-10 yrs) and 6 children with PFHT (4F:2M, age range 4 mos-8 yrs). Sites of involvement were similar for CNK and PFHT (upper extremities, head, neck). Tissue was available for light microscopic and electron microscopic examination.
Results: CNK and PFHT shared similar histopathologic features with a plexiform architecture, and a mixture of spindled, epithelioid and "histiocytoid" cells. Occasional osteoclastic cells were noted with both CNK and PHFT. Mitotic activity was variable with both CNK and PFHT ranging from 1 to 22 per HPF. In cases where immunocytochemistry could be performed (CNK=5, PFHT=3), the immunophenotype was similar with positivity for vimentin, focal SMA, focal S100 and focal NSE. Electron microscopy demonstrated certain distinct, distinguishing differences between CNK and PFHT. CNKs were composed of epithelioid and spindled cells with occasional intercellular junctions. The spindle cell population had thin cell processes. CNK cells were surrounded by a thick moderately electron dense basal lamina material that separated the cells from each other. PFHTs were comprised of spindled to ovoid cells with a population of "histiocytoid" cells containing frequent lysosomal granules with "zebra body"-like inclusions, mimicking metabolic storage material. There was also a population of plump spindle cells with prominent endoplasmic reticulum, peripheral cytoplasmic filaments and discontinuous external lamina.
Conclusions: CNK and PFHT have very similar histopathologic and immunocytochemical features, although CNK is a benign tumor and PFHT is a malignant tumor that may metastasize to regional nodes or distant sites. Electron microscopic examination of these very similar tumors allows appropriate classification of these tumors and provides for appropriate management and follow-up.

HAIKU The Humanities and the Arts in the Integrated Knowledge University
Friday, 12 September 2014
Penn Museum Rainey Auditorium, University of Pennsylvania
What do the humanities and the arts have to offer contemporary efforts to integrate distinct bodies of knowledge within the research university? How will the humanities and the arts retain their specificity within this climate of integration and is it even important that they do so? What do creative practitioners have to offer the realm of research and teaching within the university? And how does the mandate for knowledge integration intersect with other key emphases within the contemporary university, such as the global and the digital? Please join us for two days of lively multi-disciplinary discussions and performances about the future of the humanities within the creative research university. This event is free and open to the public. http://www.haikuconference.com/

Penn-Leiden Colloquia on Ancient Values VIII: Landscapes of Value
Thursday, 19 June 2014
Cohen Hall Terrace Room, University of Pennsylvania
Modern concerns with the environment and the place humans occupy in the natural world have led to better understanding of the complex ways in which humans interact with and construct space. How do we map the landscape and give it meaning? What is the relationship between the world of mountains, rivers, plains and rocks, and the human presence in these landscapes? How we occupy or use the natural world around us is influenced by, and in turn shapes, epistemologies of time and every other aspect of culture. The landscape is an integral component in human perceptions of the differences between wild and civilized, and nomadic and agricultural, just as these in turn give shape to ideas of identity, belonging, foreignness and gender. Undoubtedly for the Greeks and Romans the landscape was the primary location for articulating the subtle and fluid relationship between the human and the divine. This conference is designed to investigate these questions in relation to the rich tradition of imbuing the landscape of the Greek and Roman worlds with meaning. From the location of Minoan peak sanctuaries to the significance attached to battlefields, to the elusive place of landscape in pastoral poetry, every aspect of ancient Mediterranean culture interacted in powerful and significant ways with the landscape.

From Constantinople to Cappadocia
Sunday, 13 April 2014
Penn Museum , University of Pennsylvania
With the expansion of its current exhibition, Sacred Spaces: The Photography of Ahmet Ertug (in the Merle-Smith Galleries), the Penn Museum presents this afternoon program which focuses on two important areas of Byzantine cultural activity. Constantinople (now Istanbul) was the undisputed capital of Byzantine culture, well known for its resplendent, mosaic-filled churches. While the volcanic region of Cappadocia (in central Turkey) is less well-known, artists from Constantinople painted many of its well-preserved cave churches. This program examines the respective artistic contributions of both, with a keynote address delivered by Dr. Anthony Cutler, Professor of Art History, Penn State University—an expert on the history of Byzantine art. Sponsored by the Center for Ancient Studies. Free admission. 1:00: Introduction Anthony Cutler (The Pennsylvania State University) 1:15: Keynote Address: "Those who Wait and Watch: Some Unidentified Figures at the Chora and their Curious Persistence in Byzantine Art" Anthony Cutler (The Pennsylvania State University) 2:15: "From Vaults of Heaven to Caves of God" Robert Ousterhout (Penn) 2:45: BREAK 3:00: "The Rock-Cut Church of Meryemana: An Illuminated Apocalypse?"

Visual Cultures of Greater Iran: The Art of the Sasanians, Kushano-Sasanians and the 'Iranian' Huns in Bactria
Wednesday, 2 April 2014
Judith Lerner, ISAW
Jaffe Building 113, University of Pennsylvania
Within a few years of its founding in western Iran, the Sasanian dynasty (224 – 650 CE) spread its control into Bactria (present-day Afghanistan) first by direct rule and then through that of viceroys, the Kushano-Sasanians. By the mid-4th century, however, various Hunnic groups had entered Bactria, challenging Persian rule and eventually dominating the region for the next 200 years. Not surprisingly, the art produced during these tumultuous centuries reflects the varied cultures, religions and ethnicities in Bactria. This talk will survey the painting, sculpture, metalwork and glyptics of these different people, as well as assess the impact on this art of Bactria's legacy of Hellenistic culture brought by Alexander hundreds of years earlier.

Women in Archaeology
Saturday, 29 March 2014
Penn Museum Widener Lecture Hall, University of Pennsylvania
Anta Montet White, Teresa Raczek, Gilliane Monnier, Barbara Roth, Beth Alpert Nakhai, Alison Brooks, Lara Fabian Panelists: John Yellen, Brian Rose, Richard Leventhal, Holly Pitman Organizers: Harold Dibble, Yoko Nishimura, Lauren Ristvet, Salam Al Kuntar, Deborah Olszewski Archaeology is a field that has traditionally been dominated by men, and even though women tend to outnumber men in undergraduate programs, their numbers decline significantly through graduate school and ultimately in tenured positions. Why such a decline occurs is one of the questions this workshop will explore. Women rarely take on the role of Project Directors, and instead are more typically included as senior personnel, lab specialists or collaborators. This event will consider how the situation that archaeologists face have changed over the last fifty years. By bringing together women of all ages, we will be able to address the question of whether these issues have improved over the past several decades, if they have stayed the same, or even deteriorated Free for Penn students, faculty and staff Program 9:00 AM Introduction 9:15-10:30 Morning session 1: Speaker Presentations 10:30-10:45 Coffee break 10:45-12:30 Morning session 2: Speaker Presentations 12:30-2:00 Lunch Break 2:00-3:30 Afternoon session 1: Panel Discussions 3:30-3:45 Coffee break 3:45-5:00 Afternoon session 2: Panel Discussions Evening Lecture - 6PM - Jennifer Houser Wegner: Women in Ancient Egypt For further information please contact: Yoko Nishimura firstname.lastname@example.com

Josephus, Ant. books 17-20
Thursday, 27 March 2014
Ra'anan Boustan, UCLA
Cohen Hall 2nd Floor Lounge, University of Pennsylvania
Seminar Our fifth meeting of this year's PSCO will be Thursday, March 27 at 7:00–9:00 pm in the Second Floor Lounge of Cohen Hall. Our theme this year is "Rethinking Josephus' Antiquities". Ra'anan Boustan (UCLA) will join us to discuss books 17–20 (i.e., death of Herod onward), focusing on the theme of "Novelistic Digressions in Josephus' Jewish Antiquities 18 and 20: On the Moral Logic of Triumph and Disaster." Suggested Readings In preparation, he asks that we read the following. Jewish Antiquities 18.65-84: the narratives of Paulina the devotee of Isis and Fulvia the Jewish proselyte; compare Pseudo-Callisthenes, The Alexander Romance, book 1.1-22 (in B. P. Reardon, Collected Ancient Greek Novels [Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989], 654-68); [2] Jewish Antiquities 18.310-379: on the Jews of Babylonia and the brothers Asinaeus and Anilaeus; compare 1 Macc 2:15-41 and 2 Macc 8:1-29; [3] Jewish Antiquities 20.17-96: the conversion of Izates, king of Adiabene, and his mother Helen. The Pseudo-Callisthenes selection has been posted on the PSCO Facebook page. If you'd like a copy by email, contact Alex Ramos: (alexram@sas ). Meeting and Dining All are welcome! As usual, those wishing to dine together before the seminar will meet at 6:00 p.m. in the Second-Floor Lounge of Cohen Hall and then go next door to the food court in Houston Hall. Or just meet us in the Houston Hall downstairs food-court between 6:00pm and 6:45pm. As usual, the PSCO seminar will begin at 7:00 p.m. and end at 9:00 p.m. We meet in the Second-Floor Lounge of Cohen Hall. I see that those who wish to compose histories do not have one and the same motive for their zeal; rather, their reasons are many and very different from one another. (Josephus, Antiquities 1.1) The works of the first-century CE Jewish historian Josephus are widely recognized as the most important Jewish historical sources from antiquity. They are invaluable not only for the study of Jewish history but also for the study of the early Roman Empire and the beginnings of Christianity. Nevertheless, Josephus' magnum opus, the Antiquities—a twenty-volume account of Jewish history from Creation to the first Jewish revolt against Rome—remains understudied. Scholars have tended to mine this work for exegetical or historical information, rather than exploring its larger themes and aims. Its account of the Hellenistic and early Roman periods have been studied in relative isolation from its "biblical retellings." Disciplinary divisions have resulted in different conceptions of the Antiquities—that is, either as Jewish biblical retelling or as Greek historical writing. Our aim for the 51st PSCO is to work towards a more integrative understanding of the Antiquities. We plan to divide the work into five sections and hold a series of five text-centered sessions. In each session, the speaker will be asked to speak to issues or problems that he or she considers to be important for understanding the section in question. As a group, then, we will move sequentially through the entirety of the Antiquities over the course of the year. We will also explore the Antiquities from the perspectives of different subfields. Rather than inviting only specialists in Josephus, we will draw speakers from the fields of Biblical Studies, Classics, Ancient History, and early Christianity. In the process, we plan to use a focus on the Antiquities to explore new approaches to history, memory, and writing in antiquity. What comparanda from among Hellenistic, Roman, Jewish, and Christian texts help to locate the discourses about the past in the Antiquities? Are the traditional categories of "biblical retelling" and Greco-Roman historiography an impediment to interpreting the Antiquities as a whole? Are there other, more useful categories? These are some of the overarching questions that we hope to address through this year's PSCO. Alex Ramos, Jacob Feeley, and Jae Han are organizing our sessions this year.

Visual Programs After the Islamic Conquest: The Varakhsha Palace and the Fate of its Owners, the Bukhar Khudas
Wednesday, 5 March 2014
Aleksandr Naymark, Hofstra University
Jaffe Building 113, University of Pennsylvania
The palace of Varakhsha served as the residence for the Bukhar Khudas, the Sogdian dynasty of Bukhara, during and after the Arab conquest. A juxtaposition of archaeological materials with an unusually detailed account of the building, found in the local history, Tarikh - i Bukhara, allows us to reconstruct the complex architectural history of the palace and to offer an interpretation of its four consecutive redecorations (715-722 CE; 730s CE; 740s CE; 750s-760s CE). The themes of the famous paintings and stucco reliefs appear closely connected with the political fate of Bukhar Khudas Sequentially, they fought against the Arabs, formed personal bonds with Arab governors, cooperated with and plotted against them, converted to Islam and apostasized, suppressed and supported anti-Caliphate movements, tried military careers under Abbasids, and finally had to face the Samanids – new Islamic rulers of local origin. By the middle of the 10th century CE, the Bukhar Khuda descendants were reduced to living in obscurity in Bukhara oasis villages, while their palace was destroyed to provide timber for a Samanid palace.

text:
Three minutes into the seven-minute ride on the Super Gauge Express chairlift at Winter Park, one of my guides turns, pulls down the turtleneck of his red ski jacket and says, "I think I'm not feeling safe enough. I think we should get safer."
Soon I'm following the two skiers and one boarder through a double-black section of glades covered with about a foot of loose powder wind-loaded into the trees overnight on top of crusty, week-old snow. In my wake are jagged boulders, fallen trees, spear-like branches and stumps. We stop for a second, and I learn that there are cliffs about 500 yards to the right. Usually the snow is good enough to ski them — but not this season. So we veer downhill, to avoid going over the ledge like Gore-Tex-wrapped lemmings.
After dropping another hundred yards down the pitch, we come to a more mellow part of the woods, where the tracks are a bit more packed down. Those tracks converge at a flat spot, where my guides have stopped in front of a clump of trees with what looks like a snow-covered stack of firewood at their base. By the time I've carved my way down to them, my guides have ducked into the entrance of Frog Hut, a hobbit-sized wooden shack camouflaged from view.
Secret shacks and huts like this exist in the woods not just at Winter Park, not just at ski resorts across Colorado, but across the United States and Canada. And they're all designed as places where skiers and boarders can duck in for a quick warm-up and sometimes to get safe — mountain slang for puffing a quick bowl. It may seem counterintuitive in a demanding, athletic sport, but getting stoned is an intrinsic part of the snow-day routines of many skiers and boarders. Some say it helps them focus on the singular task very literally in front of them; others enjoy the spiritual connection with nature often provided by a joint of good herb.
The anonymous trio I'm with has been meeting at this hidden hut for years, getting safe before heading back out into the knee-shattering moguls of a nearby double-diamond run. Though other skiers, snowboarders, mountain managers and ski-patrol members certainly know of the Frog Hut's existence, the spot is still officially a secret, and I've sworn to keep its location secret, as well. (I've also promised to keep the identities of my guides — respected members of the Denver business world — confidential.)
While the few resort spokespeople who acknowledge that they've heard of smoke shacks all insist that they don't exist at their mountains, many of these spots have stood for decades, relics of the past and beloved testaments to individualism in a sport growing increasingly corporate. Once a secret shared only by word of mouth, today a quick Internet search brings up scores of discussion forums on which riders detail their favorite on-mountain escapes and post pictures. Some are mere shanties with dirt floors and logs to sit on; others are extravagant structures outfitted with tables, benches made of snowboards and stairs constructed of skateboard decks leading to second-floor observation towers. Some have attained near-mythical status and earned such nicknames as The Igloo, Leo's, Bob's Office, The 420 Club, Horsecock Cavern, The Cheetah Den, Topher's Trees, Frog Hut, The Foggy Goggle, Marley's and No Fat Chicks (so named because of its very small entrance).
Legend has it that some of the shacks on Mary Jane date back to before there was even a ski hill to schuss down. A few evolved from lean-tos left behind by miners; others were created by the logging crews called in to clear the trails before Mary Jane's opening season in the winter of 1975-1976. Instead of heading down the mountain at night, the workers would build huts where they could stay during the mild summer nights. One well-known hut that sat in a small grove near what became the free parking lot at Mary Jane was largely dismantled this past off-season, the log walls left behind to create a snow-covered modern ruin.
Other huts have been put up as memorials to lost friends. One of those is a smoke shack in Topher's Trees, named for 26-year-old snowboarder Christopher Sendroy, who died after falling into the quicksand-like snow of a tree well in 1995. There's a small shrine to Sendroy put up by family and friends on a tree near the site of the accident. But what has become the biggest monument to Sendroy is Topher's — a two-story wooden smoke shack bearing his name that reportedly was built around the evergreen where Sendroy died.
Also read: On Aspen Mountain, visiting memorial shrines is a tradition
Needless to say, protecting the shacks is a time-honored tradition. While a few are out in the open — like a bench above Springdipper at Keystone that's visible not only from the trail, but also from the chairlift and gondola, and which patrollers and lift operators are more than happy to point out — people who know about the shacks generally keep their existence quiet. As my Winter Park guides stress over and over, most of these places are well hidden and their actual locations known only by a small, unofficial club of skiers and riders skilled enough to reach the precariously located huts and smart enough to keep their locations secret so that a good thing can last.
You have to know someone to show you these places — and after that, you shouldn't show them to everyone else you know. It's like a stoner version of the first rule of Fight Club: You do not talk about the location of the smoke shacks.
Considering that Breckenridge, the town, has legalized marijuana, it's not surprising to learn that Breckenridge mountain is home to nearly a dozen smoke shacks that are known the world over. High Country Caregiver, a frequent Westword commenter on all subjects marijuana-related, is also an expert on Breckenridge's many smoke shacks, huts and tepees. Caregiver — who asked that his real identity not be revealed — worked for the ski area for six years as a market-research manager.
Caregiver probably wouldn't have made it in Fight Club: On his website, he lists the GPS coordinates of seven of Breck's most historic huts, including the notorious Leo's Smoke Shack. That two-story shack has graced the pages of numerous ski magazines and has been the subject of enough ski forums that tourists occasionally ask to see it. But Caregiver doesn't apologize for spreading the word. "All I can say in my defense is people come to ski Breckenridge specifically to find the smoke shacks, and it's a great destination to ski and enjoy cannabis at the same time," he says, showing his skills at MMJ market research. "The reality of ski patrol, cops, Forest Service — whatever — tearing them down is completely independent of what I say and the maps I provide. If any of that were to happen, it would have happened or could happen totally regardless of anything that I ever said."
Caregiver says he averages about three smoke-shack stops each time he is on the hill, and claims to have visited the dozen or so Breckenridge shacks as many as 2,400 times over the fifteen years he's lived in the area. "Smoking marijuana is a very important part of skiing and a very strong part of the culture, especially for Breckenridge," he says. "It's great to have semi-secret underground smoke locations that are accessible off almost every lift. I've had awesome experiences hanging out with crew after crew of riders who pass by, blaze and keep riding. Young, old, male, female, all walks of life — the shack, man, the shack is so awesome."
According to Caregiver, Breckenridge officials generally turn a blind eye as long as the shacks don't become a nuisance or pose a danger to the people using them. He says he's seen ski patrollers glide past shacks while he's been inside blazing, watched instructors take ski schools past the shacks as a sort of on-mountain attraction, and has even spotted families having a wholesome, weed-free lunch in the shacks.
"Although I use the shacks to smoke marijuana, above all they are a beautiful piece of ski culture and art that represent something much larger than just smoking cannabis," he explains. "To just assume that they are a place to smoke pot is missing the larger picture. The people who think that way are the same ones who think a powder stash is their secret powder stash or something. Everything on the mountain is everyone's to enjoy."
But the Forest Service doesn't see it quite that way.
Jim Stark, winter sports manager for the U.S Forest Service, can't point to a specific time when the federal agency became aware of the huts and shacks popping up on national forest land. They've always kind of been there, scattered around ski areas and back-country trails. As far as he can tell, what are now called smoke shacks likely started out as warming huts built by elk hunters or lean-tos used by miners. Over the years, as ski areas began leasing federal land and expanding their resorts, the shacks became part of their terrain...and their responsibility.
The older shacks tend to be ignored at most ski areas, Stark says. Some, like those at Winter Park, predate the ski area's existence and blend into the landscape. The few he hears about are the newer shacks Stark calls "summer jobs," whose construction involves cutting down living trees, stripping branches and using forest resources. These shacks have been growing in complexity over the last few decades, and some are now sprawling creations that rival (if not trump) the living quarters of the local ski bums who help build them.
The rare complaints that come into Stark's office are never about stoned riders and skiers visiting these shacks. Instead, they focus on environmental damage and concerns that hearing about the spots could lure inexperienced skiers into extreme terrain. But what Stark says he really gets gripes about are the growing number of on-mountain shrines. Scattered around the woods of Aspen and Snowmass are impromptu memorials devoted to famous and infamous dead celebrities ranging from Elvis to Hunter S. Thompson, covered with pictures, beads and other memorabilia. "They are an eyesore to people," he explains, noting that humble shrines for friends lost on the mountain tend to be left in peace.
The most serious hut-related incident Stark can recall was a few seasons back, at tiny, three-lift Sunlight Mountain outside of Glenwood Springs. A few local teens had spent their day skiing in and out of a shack, where they'd drink booze. One kid was "chugging vodka," he recalls, and passed out in the shack. His friends were unable to rouse the teen, and decided to leave him behind after the lifts stopped running. But one friend thought better of that plan and told the ski patrol, and the kid was found woozy, suffering from hypothermia and nearly frozen.
Stark is able to laugh about that story now, but he uses it to illustrate why official Forest Service policy prohibits shacks; his agency suggests that resort operators pull them down when they come across them.
His most recent bust was in 2007, in a particularly busy Snowmass spot that Aspen Skiing Company had complained about. A summer job by Stark's estimation, the shack was more like a palace, with snowboard benches and a speaker system that visitors could play their iPods over. Stark admits he was impressed with the overall construction, but the "attractive nuisance" was pulled down soon after. "It's not so much the kids using it, because they know where it's at, but more so that it was leading sucker tracks into one area with cliffs," he explains. "Smaller kids — kids not in the know — got into that place where they shouldn't be. I mean, they are skiing trails you'd have to be stoned to want to ski."
But while the hidden huts can be a nagging nuisance for resorts, avalanche control and watching for misbehaving skiers on the main slopes take precedence over rousing a few stoners from their caves or pulling pictures of Jerry Garcia from the trees. At a resort like Breckenridge, it's not uncommon to have as many as 20,000 skiers on the hill on a busy day, and dealing with skier injuries alone is enough to strain the ski patrol. That leaves the shacks largely in the hands of the Forest Service, which are already full supervising hundreds of thousands of acres."That doesn't mean that one day in the middle of the winter, we're going to have this full-out assault," Stark admits. "It's like we tell the resorts, if your crews are working next to them in the summer, deconstruct them." Not that he's going to go out of his way to see if they have. "When I'm at the ski areas, I'm there to ski," Stark says. "I'm not there to look for shrines or shacks."
Others are, though.
In the spring of 2005, the Breckenridge ski patrol said that too many new huts had been popping up and too much trash was accumulating in the old ones, and they vowed to destroy all the shacks they found. According to Caregiver, this move came after someone climbing around in the three-story Tree House Shack off Peak 9 fell and injured himself badly enough that he had to be taken out by the ski patrol. Having seen the shack and recognizing the danger inherent in having people stumbling up makeshift log ladders in ski boots, the ski patrol had no choice but to break it down. Still, the move angered some residents, who wrote to the local newspaper in defense of the huts, noting that they weren't always used to smoke weed; some people simply relied on them for shelter.
Other resorts have occasionally cracked down on huts over the past few years. In the spring of 2010, Gunnison District Ranger John Murphy waged war on the smoke shacks at Crested Butte and the puffers using them. The rangers wrote tickets for the people they found smoking herb, and fined two Western State College students $1,700 each for building a hut.
As online ski forums, blogs and ski movies keep spilling the locations of the smoke shacks and attracting more visitors to them, more mountains may start dismantling them. But there are still a few good secrets left — and new skiers and riders to carry on the Fight Club tradition.
Just outside the ski-area boundary line in a relatively untraveled section of terrain is Breckenridge's newest smoke hut: The Hash Temple. The white canvas is almost invisible from every direction; I only spot it the first time because I happen to see a few skis stuck up in the snow nearby. Compared to the log structures built into the trees off nearby runs, the all-white Hash Temple is as easy to locate as a polar bear in a snowstorm.
A younger kid with a baby face, probably no older than twenty, is clicking into the pair of skis that had provided my first clue to the Hash Temple's whereabouts. He nods hello, then turns to thank the guys inside the canvas for the smoke before riding off. I can hear coughing and the shuffling of ski boots as I make my way into the tent, ask the two guys already inside if they mind my joining them, and take a seat. The shacks are generally welcoming places — they're on public lands, after all — and this one is no different.
A few bowl packs later, my hosts start exhaling the history of the Hash Temple. The pair, who've lived in the area for a few years, got sick of the other huts and shacks at Breck being abused by "gapers" — a derogatory mountain term for clueless tourists. So they spent the past summer lugging up the makings of an on-mountain stoner den, making twenty trips up and down the mountain in a four-wheeler. The Hash Temple is small — probably only large enough for six or seven people at most — but what it lacks in size and convenience, it more than makes up for in extravagance.
This shack is more like a safari-style canvas tent, complete with a heavy, wrought-iron stove for cooking, a mini iPod stereo for music, and a snowboard lounge chair and futon for relaxing. Several hippie tapestries with Eastern religious symbols and some prayer flags hang from the metal support poles at the top; a ragtag carpet covers the wooden platform on which the tent was constructed. But outside, the only thing that stands out from the white snow and green trees surrounding the shack is a small totem pole warding off evil spirits...and forest rangers on skis.
The hut was also a way to stake a claim to public land that's become increasingly expensive to enjoy, they explain. The price of season passes jumps every year, a day pass is more than $100, and even something as cheap as a candy bar at the base lodge costs as much as a gallon of gas. Pointing to the stove, one toker says they stock the tent with eggs and bacon to cook in the morning and other snacks to munch on through the day as they take turns on their favorite part of the mountain. "Fuck paying Vail Resorts for food, you know?" the twenty-something with the raccoon-like goggle tan says while melting snow over a portable camping stove.
What I assumed was soup turns out to be water that he uses to fill a tiny bubbler pipe he's pulled out of his backpack. His friend holds out a glass dish of Kush Haze hash oil that he passes around so we can all get a hit; a bowl of herb is sent in the opposite direction.
While ski resorts and the Forest Service officially frown on shacks like the Hash Temple, odds are that it will survive for a few years, then disappear on its own — when its patrons just stop putting it up each winter and move on. These tents tend to have a limited life, and even the wooden smoke huts will collapse without upkeep. But when one goes, another one will replace it.
"They'll pop up," the hash cook promises. "They'll always keep popping up."
Good Job, Westword, Vail just destroyed their shacks and so is everyone else... thanks for destroying things through publication.
You guys lit the fuse that blew this up. Seriously, fuck you from the bottom of my heart. Being a good journalist is sometimes knowing what not to do. Fuckwits.
Westword, you wrote about this enough, move on. we get it. how about reporting on the controversial THC roadside test, that is actually an issue effecting most of the state.
"I really wish you Westword fucktards would stop posting shit about this." You're right. Media should be completely subservient to the delicate sensibilities of the endlessly butthurt portion of its audience and resort to self-censorship. Derp!
You might want to rat out the very few places left for public consumption too. Oh wait, you already did that. FAIL.
The point of em is you have to go find em. Thats the whole fun of it. Maybe you should start a sight see tour an bring all the tourist in to see em too. Stop already, you suck. If it wasn't for music listings I would never look at your paper.
Why don't you do a story on all of the out of state tourists who can't ski and get drunk off of all of the over priced drinks that are sold legally all over the mountain for a change. This is more bullshit propaganda....
William posted this article in February. Calm the fuck down people, some have been there since the 70's. They're not going anywhere.
Leos was spectacular when I accidentally found the structure. I was riding in the trees and saw a building. At first it did not occur to me it was a shack, it was a well made structure. I rode closer unstrapped and walked in. There was a foyer and a spiraling staircase made out of skate decks. I walked up the coolest staircase and went up stairs. The top floor had sky windows and a coffee table surrounded by seating made from retired snowboards. I was in awe, this was the coolest shack I have ever seen until I found Ralphs (RIP).
Years later the shack is now full of trash and falling apart. No more sky lights, just a regular broken skate deck staircase and busted windows. I hiked to the shack in September and was saddened by the condition. Things were falling apart and it's very dirty. Please don't leave your trash in shacks, this is a good way to get them torn down. If you can bring it in, please bring it out. The mountains will be more tolerant if you keep them clean. I don't think this shack will be around much longer, but I will always remember the day I found it.
Um dude. The first rule of fight club is that you don't talk about the fight club. Trust me, no one needs to know about these places. Only the people that matter. You kinda just blew it.
Amazing write-up! This could aid plenty of people find out more about this particular issue. Are you keen to integrate video clips coupled with these? It would absolutely help out. Your conclusion was spot on and thanks to you; I probably won't have to describe everything to my pals. I can simply direct them here!
this is cool but i dont see the need to write an article lettin all the tool bags know the secrets
wow im the "hash cook" that the guys talking about who built the hashrishi temple. Forest service discovered the tent. Fined us $300. Ski patrol was nice enough to help us take it down the mountian. Got the whole thing down within a few hours. My advice to everyone is to keep building shacks whether big or small. Start a shack revolution!!
i'd like to publish some of these comments in our print edition, ideally with the author's full name. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Sometimes, you gotta have some medical marijuana to ease the pain in those knees, or back, and be able to enjoy being on the mountain just like before the pain/injury(s) happened.
Now if there was just a medical marijuana dispensary or caregiver set up in some of those shacks...
I love how the first incident of someone getting sick or being endangered by a shack was kids drinking alcohol.
Stick with weed its natural and safe! Don't drink n ski!
Smoking on the mountain is one of the quickest ways to get hit with a federal possession charge. Be safe and cautious, your med card is no good with Forest Service cops.
Whoa! People in Colorado ski and smoke pot? Yet another fine bit of investigative reporting by this crack team of go getters. I got a tip for you, there's these things called dog parks that not many people know about. Oh and someone could write about a kid who plays Canasta, way more edgier than Bridge.
I learned about the Winter Park huts on my first road trip to Colorado in 1991. After moving to Vail in '92, we created many of the great local's hideouts: Berries Hut (made from the remains of an original sheep-herder cabin), The Equilibrium Hut (EQ), Bwana Palace, all gone now thanks to VR and the USFS. We always kept them clean, but after an early spring visit by the wife of a VR executive saw some garbage that had melted out, before we had a chance to do some mainenance; BOOM! A waste of a constantly-shrinking USFS rec budget.
Thanks narcs for telling all of the authorities(and esecially Denver Republicans) where they are located. It's not legal everywhere in Colorado yet.
They are good with forest service cops, and unless ur blaZin over 2 zones or are maybe growing in there mountain range you will never get a friggin fed charge Or any for that matter! Quit tryin to freak people out bro!
C, no matter how you look at it cannabis is a social drug, skiing is a social sport, the more the merry! Ain't none of your authorit-eye ever gonna change that. Breckenridge pulls in more skiers than any resort in Colorado and part of that is the smoke shack appeal, and they aren't about to start fucking with the guests and messing with the shacks. It's important that humans be able to enjoy cannabis in secure social settings, combined with skiing, it's a high made in heaven.
We don't give away any specific locations in this story, with the exception of a fully-visible bench at Keystone that is in plain sight - even then, it's a general location.
And I hate to break it to you, but the "authorities" (ski patrol and the forest service) were already well aware of the in-bounds shacks we do mention.
I'm sorry, I forgot about another scoop for you. Apparently there are secret spots in City Park where kids from East go to get high. It practically writes itself. You can title it, "East, High?". You're welcome.
Seriously - anyone who thinks ski patrol isn't aware of nearly every shack is naive. However, in producing this article you did apply further pressure to them and forest service to 'handle' the issue as its now in the public/management's view.
Hey man, I'm on your side. I agree with you. But before you hit send, or whatever, read what you're about to send and say it out loud. For example, you wrote, and I quote, "On the upside Petr, and it should be applauded, is anyone who is working in the media who will show that marijuana is safe, and a very common way that many Americans have been enjoying life in recreation, or medically for years." End quote.
What you typed makes no sense. I think the better way to further your cause, hell my cause, is to read OUT LOUD TO YOURSELF what it is you're trying to get across. Seriously, it works.
On the upside Petr, and it should be applauded, is anyone who is working in the mediawho will show that marijuana is safe, and a very common way that many Americans have been enjoying life in recreation, or medically for years. It is nothing new, but we still have the government, and several media members who continue to lie, and make statements to indicate it is bad.
Thanks William, keep up the good work Brother!
Spot on Dave."...but getting stoned is an intrinsic part of the snow-day routines of many skiers and boarders." I love the word intrinsic, but Billy smashed it. While many people on the mountain do enjoy some cannabis or a flask, characterizing those things as 'intrinsic' is the kind of hyperbole WW spins out quite predictably. Lemmings in GoreTex indeed. The better story would have about a wrongly-accused or excessively-punished drug-popping-pushing, once-violent-now-spiritual street urchin turned 25 y/o semi-pro snowboarding pot head with a 17 y/o impregnated "fiance" who is taking on the Forest Service for his god given right to get stoned in comfort instead of on the lift like everybody else. That's cover material right there.
I've been skiing and climbing for 30 years. Nothing new about this "story". Smoke if you want. Or not. But there is no value here in this piece. Just because the backdrop is snowboarding, does not mean that it is not a story about drug use. But then, given that 80% of the ad revenue for this rag comes from dispensaries and 'self-employed models', it fits quite nicely I suppose. I've got a red card, but don't agree with romanticizing controlled substances for the sake of pandering to the hedonistic narcissistic droves.
You could be onto something huge here, Dave. Especially if it involves kids playing stoned Canasta in the previously mentioned dog parks.
Thanks for the tip.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ceasar!
Facts about Ceasar
- Breed: Chihuahua
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Ceasar's Info...
I am purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Ceasar is a quiet boy. loves people and cuddling and going for walks.
Other Pets at Chihuahuas Hope Animal Rescue Transport and Sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ceasar, a Chandlersville Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Chandlersville, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Chandlersville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chandlersville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chandlersville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chandlersville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Woot! Lots of fun! Thanks for having me.
Great show this week lou. I can't wait for the next show.
The shows just seem to get better and better!
I emailed this to Lou, but I thought I'd post it here for anyone that wanted to know. The hand Jim Bowie in Jim Bowie's case, the 4 Kings and a 10, was supposedly a hand that he was holding when he called out a man cheating at poker. I have an article with more information for anyone who is interested.
Lou, or anyone else for that fact, do yous have pictures of the construction (and the walls) of Yakk & Yeti (however u spell it).

Lou, I loved the show. And I really love the Disney Scene Investigation segment. I loved the Muppets on Mousetunes, and I was looking forward to more of that segment, and I was very happy to see it re-appear on WDW Radio. And not to mention that you picked Pecos Bill. That is 2 for 2 in my book, as I also enjoy the burgers at Pecos Bill's, and I won't have one anywhere else on property. Can't wait till my next trip to Pecos Bill's to check out all the details.
And the longer the show, the better!

Lou, I think the widowmaker you couldnt think of was "K-19: the widowmaker". it was the submarine movie
Lou, this is perhaps the best podcast on the internet, and I really mean that. I can't believe how you've blown our expectations away. For me, I am interested in a well produced show with news, but especially rumors and details...those are the things that have always psyched me up about WDW. I really must commend you. You had a good podcast before with what's-his-name But you now have the best one available...after 2 shows. Please, please, please...no surprise cancellations on this one!!
As far as this particular show is concerned, Jeff was just terrific. Great information and a real love for the subject came through in both of you. And also, kudos to Mr. Block. He picked up the topics seemlessly and really offered a nice perspective.
So, I hope I never hear the words "this is going long" or "I'll try to keep the show shorter" ever again. WDW Radio can be 3 hours long, and if it is like this show, still not long enough.
"You are not the first to pass this way..."

Fantastic job Lou! Loved hearing all the guests on the show. I can't wait to see what is in store for the next fleet of disney ships and I'm exciting about this new Yak & Yeti restaurant.. although the name really isn't something I am too fond of! Have fun in this weekend, it's a possibility I may be there on Sunday, not positive yet. Keep up the fantastic work.

I haven't finished listening to all the show yet (darn commute isn't quite long enough) but what I've heard so far is awesome! I LOVE the idea of the torch light night parade at AK, I would absolutely stay later at the park for a parade like that. Keep up the great work Lou!
