Angler Art Auction RESULTSI'm sure you all will race to the bottom to see who won, but I'd like to just make a note that this was by far THE hardest art auction I've ever had to judge for any art auction I've ever had, nordanner or otherwise. If I could give you all slots to him without making the Angler less valuable, I would. Not to worry though, there are going to be plenty of AngAng's running around from what I've heard, so if you did not win, your chances aren't over!I've also decided that I'm going to start writing what I like and didn't like about a piece so that people can know that their art IS appreciated, and there isn't the "WHY DID SHE PICK THAT ONE??!?" going around, as well as possibly knowing how to improve in other auctions?IF YOU DID NOT WIN, THIS MEANS YOU WILL BE COMPENSATED FOR KEEPING YOUR ART UP. This means I will "buy" it from you and should you delete it, I will re-upload it like a commission. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE PAID! PLEASE LET M

Sketchy Liberty ShowNow closed! Journal is being updated slowly, but no more entries will be accepted from now!Deadline: October 16Event Type: Effort based mini showThis month's class: LibertyRestrictions: Sketches only!So this is a concept I've had for a long time, and its only now I'm bringing it to fruition. I am a personal lover of all things sketchy: there's something about that first draft drawing that is free and raw and flowing that can sometimes be lost in the details and defined lines of a finished piece.

Monthly Theme - August -Hello all! A while ago I had a poll up asking some questions and getting some amazing feedback on things we could do as a group and Monthly Themes was one of the suggestions! I thought it was a great suggestion and so we're going to go ahead and give it a shot this year to see how it goes. If you have questions, please ask!I'm going to try and use this same journal for all 12 months of the year, but if it starts getting too messy or long I may split it up. The current month will always be at the top of the list. So if we're in April, it will read April, THEN January and Feburary etc etc. When the month is complete, it will be moved to its proper place in the year and the current month will take its place.A folder has been created specifically for monthly theme submissions!Rules:These will apply to EVERY month.

Dominant TIGER ROAN Art Auction RESULTSThank you, THANK you everyone for your amazing, breathtaking and touching art. I would love to give every one of you a slot to Asgard if I could <3 I know you all deserve it for all the wonderful hard work you put into every entry. Asgard's ego is through the roof looking at himself the way he's been drawn, and that is the reason of having this auction.If you would not like your entry to be counted towards his kaaring, that's perfectly alright, just let me know. But also know that this removes your name from his Excellent Blood raffle. Just please let me know before you delete it, if you decide to.For those of you who entered more than once, like I said, I judged which one I thought was the best, and those have a spotlight by them. More than one entry had no extra sway.Again I'm so sorry for taking so long, but I really hate that everyone cant win, so without further rambling, congrats to our winners!WINNERHow can one really argue when you can <

In a conversation with Adam Read (Tower first acensionist and geologist at NM Tech) Adam stated that The Tower is actually a clastic flow and not welded tuff. I write this just for info and not to argue anything. Maybe if Adam ever reads this he can comment further. |

Anyone been out to the tower recently? I'm curious about the road conditions with respect to all of the snow we've gotten. Thanks |
By Steven Crisp Dec 11, 2008 |
My buddy and I took a spring break tour down south with the intentions of going to Mexico. We took a wrong turn at Albuquerque, and ended up in enchanted tower. Some of the coolest pockets, crappy road entry, and a New Mexico sunset kept us there for another week...Worth every second of it. The caves are rifle like but not rifle grade. Very few people and a lot more routes to be discovered but not bolted. Amazing! |
By Devin C. Dec 17, 2008 |
I was wondering if anyone climbs here during the winter months. I saw that is at 8000 ft I'm looking at hitting this place up in mid january but with all the snow lately Im kinda worried if its worth it? |
By Jason Halladay Administrator From: Los Alamos, NM Dec 18, 2008 |
Hey Devin, I've not heard of anyone climbing here in winter. In a typical winter you'd probably need to snowshoe or ski on the road beyond the ranch house. I'm not sure about this but it certainly wouldn't surprise me. Then, of course, that would lead to parking near the ranch house which wouldn't be cool with the owners. Also, the routes generally face west which would mean some very chilly climbing for much of the day until the sun came around. If you're in the area in January, the climbing closer to The Box climbing areas would be a much better bet. That said, I live quite far north from the Tower so I'm by no means an expert. |
By Devin C. Dec 18, 2008 |
Thanks for the info Jason. I'm also from Los, but go to school in las Cruces so I was hoping to hit up the tower on my way down in jan. but Soccoro probably would be a safer bet. Hopefully the snow will clear enough that i can climb a bit while I'm up here. |

I called the number listed above(520-326-1449) to see about the gate code,this isn't the number to stoneage gym, its to the lady who publishes the datil guide. She said there isn't a lock onthe gate anymore. |
By Jason Hundhausen From: Bozeman, MT Aug 17, 2009 |
augie: Could not agree with you more. TP is all over the place. At a very minimum, dig deep and burn the TP (make sure the fire's OUT!) or, an even better solution is to bring Wag Bags and take it out with you - there are tons of nice, convenient trash bins on the highway back to Magdalena to drop it off in. See this discussion for more: Enchanted Tower: Are we our own worst enemy? |
By Anthony Stout Administrator From: Albuquerque, NM Aug 19, 2009 |
This is a good and necessary discussion. The idea of wag bags = a good one in my opinion. When I get around to it, I will include a link to this discussion and add some comments to the area description. |
By Jason Halladay Administrator From: Los Alamos, NM Aug 19, 2009 |
Great idea about adding some info to the main page about Wag Bags and/or Restop 2 bags, Anthony. I never go to the Tower without them and bring enough for my friends. Super convenient to use (easier than any other option, really) and there is a public dumpsters area right in Datil so there's really no reason to not use these there. Let's spread the word and encourage the use of these bags at ET. |
By Jason Hundhausen From: Bozeman, MT Aug 20, 2009 |
I would like to think that most (some?) people that climb at the Tower are interested in keeping it clean. WagBags/RestStop2 bags are an ideal solution - aside from the expense and having to go purchase them, which may deter some. For those not up to such a monumental challenge, an alternative is to use a bucket (2-gallon?) with a lid and plastic kitchen garbage bags. Put the bags in the bucket like you would a regular garbage bin, do your bizness in the bag, tie it up and put the lid on. You can even add litter or some other liquid absorbing media to the bag if you're wanting to get fancy, or just do that half outside the bucket. Works like a charm and sitting on the bucket can be pretty comfy for the more enduring (pumpy, in climber terms) efforts... |
By A.S.. Sep 2, 2009 |
Thanks Jason, perhaps that information on the introduction page will help. I think donated wag bags would help too. ON another note, perhaps we could encourage people to camp at the datil well campgound as well? I know this has become the preferable alternative to some ABQ climbers and it makes some sense. The toilets are already there and they are only 15 minutes away. Maybe a mention of this in the intro as well. I am sure that some people would rather do this than pack out their poo. Or at least I hope so. |
By Tom R From: Denver, CO Sep 4, 2009 |
Just went and bought one of these ( cabelas.com/p-0009518.shtml ) for my trip to ET. Cheap and simple. |
By Anthony Stout Administrator From: Albuquerque, NM Sep 4, 2009 |
Augie - Probably not. I would much rather camp at the tower campground than at Datil well, as I am sure the majority of climbers would as well. Nothing like being right at the crag when you wake up in the morning. There are few places that is an option. If you have never used one of those wag bags it's really not all that bad. Seriously. Everything is quite contained. I recommend giving it a whorl. Tom brought up another good option, the luggable loo. It's a 5 gallon bucket with a lid on it. I also found that you can pick up bags for it at Wall-Mart. They can go into the trash can on your way home. The nice thing is it's all contained into a bucket and you just dump the bucket out. |
By Tom R From: Denver, CO Sep 7, 2009 |
Just gave the Luggable Loo it's maiden voyage to the Tower. I wish I had bought one of these years ago. It's more comfortable than squatting and more convenient than digging a hole. The lid snaps down to hold a wag bag firmly in place and the bag is easy to change. I paid $16 for the bucket and lid. Bags are a bit expensive ($2.95), but they are biodegradable. I plan on putting a sicker on "Lou" (I've named him) from everywhere he goes, but I could not find any stickers in Datil or Magdalena. If anyone knows of a sticker representing the area, I would love to get a hold of one. |

What is the "Season" a the tower? It is not noted above. |
By Dave Wachter Sep 19, 2009 |
Season is all through the fall and spring. Particularly good in the fall, when temps are perfect, winds low, and leaves turning.Fall's particulaly good for sending. |
By LeeAB Administrator From: ABQ, NM Nov 16, 2009 |
Depending on the weather Datil could be good, though you will want to climb in the sun for sure. Remember that Datil is somewhere around 8,000 feet, but if the sun is out and the wind is calm. I know people who have climbed at the tower in December but it is more of a local thing since you can just go when the weather allows. You would definitely be taking a chance with a road trip in November. Also most routes only receive afternoon sun, so unless you are wanting to get on the two routes on the Renissance wall your days will be short. If you do go I would recommend being willing to move to Socorro, Alamogordo (Tunnel) or Last Chance where it is easier to climb in the sun. |
By Willie Mitchel Mar 18, 2010 |
I read the mention of packing out waste and thought id share a product I use. Its called a Biffy Bag and it is far superior to the Wag Bag and Reststop systems. It does not require a bucket or commode and comes with everything you need in a little package. It has a triple sealed puncture proof containment bag which prevents all odor and chance of leaking. WONDERFUL product I recommend to everyone. The rammifications of human waste are seriously effecting these beautiful areas we love so much so I ask everyone to address this matter more seriously. |
By Tim Kuss From: Durango, CO May 1, 2011 |
Just wondering if anyone more local to the Tower than me has considered replacing all the time bomb bolts and hangers that exist on nearly every route there? Beware. Many recalled SMC hangers. Many lower grade Redhed style bolts. Rusty. Crap. Never mind the missing hanger on Rumplestiltskin. |
By J. Albers From: Colorado May 2, 2011 |
I would second Tim Kuss' comment about hardware updates. I noticed more than a few bolts (on Shipwrecked for e.g.) that are from the mid-nineties and should really be replaced. |
By Lowell From: El Paso, Texas USA May 10, 2011 |
I HAD A BLAST....but I wasn't impressed with the 30 year old SMC bolt hangers. Also clipped some odd questionable chains with hundreds of rusted washers and lowering on a single ancient carabiner is so 1980's. I'd be willing on donating hangers etc. to locals if need be. I'll even help do the work. This place is so cool it needs attention. |
By Bob Broilo From: Socorro, NM May 13, 2011 |
Regarding the hardware, there was a motivated local named James Hunter who was doing updates. He was focused on the anchors and fixed many of the sketchy older jobs. He has since moved away. Getting replacement gear is not a problem. The motivation to fight the crowds at the tower for the same old routes when there is so much other stuff to do, is. For the Socorro folks anyway. Also there is the ongoing effort to mitigate the effects of the many people who camp and poop there, which also generates many complaints from visitors. Why so many people need to drive onto the virgin grass and make a new fire ring, I will never understand. Back on subject. The tower rock is soft and I imagine some of those old, small bolts are beginning to get weak. Especially those at odd angles near cruxes (for example, i wonder about that second bolt on Blessed and Blissed when I see a dozen falls on it a day, that would be a grounder). I work a few minutes away and sometimes go to the tower on weeknights after work. It is usually much less crowded then. I lack a drill and experience though. So I will try to drag the guy who has been updating hardware at Box out and maybe we can fix some of this stuff. I have a few routes left to redpoint there. The main problem at the moment is the impending temporary forest closures due to fire danger. Cibola NF now at Stage II restrictions, so hope for rain! |
By ted geving May 24, 2011 |
I did not realized a majority of the routes needed some anchor replacement until friend told me the crux bolt for red/white queen is hanging out of the rock partially. Last time was at the Tower was the early 90's. After having talked with people who have way more bolting experience than I do, it is my understanding that the Glue-ins are the best option for anchor replacement. Not sure how much time and money I have got to contribute to this over the summer as I am already committed to other activities. I could loan out a my turbo charged hilti to a responsible and motivated individual as all it is doing is collecting dust right now. |

Is the gate open to the tower still as of 10/13/2011? |
By Bryan Pletta Nov 3, 2011 |
The last I heard in early October was that there was a closure sign on the road. If the road is posted as closed, please respect the closure and use the Davenport Canyon access. NM CRAG and the Access Fund are currently in discussions with the landowner to clarify the landowners intention with regards to access through Thompson Canyon and will post details here once final word is received from the ranch owners. |
By Peter Olson From: Santa Fe, New Mexico Apr 23, 2012 |
Is the gate open? Has anybody been to the Tower in the last couple days? |
By Joseph M. From: Tucson, AZ Aug 22, 2012 |
I am planning on heading out to the tower for Labor Day Weekend. Will the gate be open or should I plan to access the canyon through the other road? Thanks for the help! |
By LeeAB Administrator From: ABQ, NM Aug 23, 2012 |
You should plan on going the other way since the request of the land owner is that it be closed between September 1st and January 30th. Even if the gate is unlocked you should still go around, remember there are people living there as well and they don't want to always have to be locking and unlocking the gate to get in and out themselves. So just because the gate is unlocked does not mean that it is open and if you go in that way and expect to get out you may find it locked on your way out. |
By Mark J Mar 24, 2013 |
Any new word on access March 2013? |
By the schmuck From: Albuquerque, NM Mar 30, 2013 |
My understanding that the access road is no longer open. We were there 3 weeks ago, and the gate was unlocked. A friend went by last week, and the gate was locked. When I called the gym and asked about the situation, I was informed that the gate is indeed permanently closed, but may be ocassionaly open at the owners' whim. |

Found a grey/black duffle bag with wheels sitting on the side of the dirt road this weekend (4/28/13). It had one pocket open with a few things scattered, it appeared to have fallen off or out of a vehicle. It has women's clothing and other stuff in it. If you are missing your bag let me know and you can pick it up at Stone Age Climbing Gym. If you're not in ABQ you can call the gym and ask for me and we can arrange shipping. (505) 341-2016 |

A set of keys were accidentally left at the campsite directly across from the main trail head. They have a purple carabiner, Ford car key, and a green turtle bottle opener. I'd appreciate it if anyone headed there in the near future could take a look for them and email me if found. email@example.com Thanks!! |

These two smarty pants decided to hike in from 59. Our road tripping car definitely doesn't qualify as high clearance and we NEEDED to see what Enchanted Tower was all about. The hike is about 15 miles and 6 hours round trip. Do I regret it? No. Would I do it again? No. Well.. maybe. Enchanted Tower is stelllar! Seroiusly, that road is rough. Don't consider driving in unless you have a car that can take it. |

How much snow is there in March, if any at all? |
By Jake Mortensen From: Albuquerque, NM Mar 15, 2014 |
Is it possible to park outside the ranchers gate and hike in on his land if it is done quietly during the day? I am trying to find alternatives to hiking the forest road because my car cannot handle four wheel and I don't think my girlfriend would appreciate a 16 mile backpack trip on the forest road. Please let me know if you have had any luck hiking in on the ranchers land. |
By LeeAB Administrator From: ABQ, NM Mar 16, 2014 |
Jake, see Jason's comment two above yours. In addition to Jason I know of at least two other people that have gone this way. You will need to do some research though to figure out where to park and where to hike over the ridge. If I'm not mistaken you will want to head for the side valley that the Renaissance wall is in. Maybe Jason can provide some clarification. |
By Jason Halladay Administrator From: Los Alamos, NM Mar 19, 2014 |
John Tex wrote: How much snow is there in March, if any at all? John, I'm far from a local but knowing NM winters, the March snowpack will vary. This year I'm guessing there's little snow in the area now. The north-facing slopes will likely retain snow into April but all other aspects ought to be pretty dry. The long road in is in some narrow canyon spots at times so my educated guess is it's kinda sloppy and/or icy in spots into April. Hopefully someone more local will chime in if they know conditions. Jake, Re: hiking in via rancher's land, don't do it please. That's blatant trespassing. I sent you a PM with some additional information and ideas for access via public land. |
By Jason Hebert From: Socorro, New Mexico Mar 21, 2014 |
We have hiked in before, about an hour each way. Park on the forest service road that you would take to drive around (can't remember the name) just past the cattle guard. If you hike over the saddle just to the east of there and drop down the other side it puts you in the upper end of the side canyon that drops down to Renaissance wall. Not a bad hike really, but I hate hiking. |
By sant Mar 26, 2014 |
thinking of heading in this coming weekend...any info on the road conditions would be greatly appreciated! |
By erik rieger From: Nederland, CO Feb 19, 2015 |
I was here for a few days over Thanksgiving. Great climbing and not a single other party. With temps 50-60F and sunny, it was hot climbing in t-shirts. Easy to chase sun or shade all day. Only a small amount of snow on shady parts of the road then. If the snowpack was low, it seems like this would be excellent throughout the winter on warmer days. |

Hello all,
I'm Chance from the Downriver Area in Michigan, about 20 minutes south of Detroit. I learned some of the basics of handguns and tacticts, even a little anti-terroist stuff in the Navy. A few years after leaving the Navy I had to go up into downtown Detroit and it occured to me that I honestly didn't feel all that safe and secure. A few days later my wife came home asking about perhaps getting some pepper spray or something for her to keep at work because she had some guy get laid off and go a little haywire.
Ok, all the signs are there, its time to do something about all this. So after talking a bit to the wife, she decided to join me in getting a handgun, learning up a bit and then getting our CCWs.
I was thinking of a 1911, because I knew it from the military, but wound up with a CZ97B instead. A little uncommon but very solid and have heard very nice things about it. Its a good sized gun, but it fit so well in my hand I couldn't even think of getting anything else. I think with the right holster (already on order) and a decent cover garment it will do me fine. I still have to get my wife over to the range and walk her through some basics and drills with a .22 so she at least has a framework for deciding what gun suits her. I think she is definately strong enough to handle a .45 but I am also thinking that a 9mm or even a .380 will wind up fitting her hands better. But, its her decision, if she wants and can safely handle a Desert Eagle, then so be it.
Well, today, after my first trip to the range since getting out of the military about 4 years ago, I realize that there is a ways to go before I am confident enough in my own skills to stick a loaded weapon in my pants and walk around all day. I had forgotten how much I used to pull to the right when firing. Ah well, 50 round just to make sure I still knew what I was doing, I may need just a tiny bit more practice.
I am really liking this forum so far, most that I have found are dedicated to just one brand or type of weapon and they get WAY to biased.

Bob Kellum can't believe what he saw when he opened his first bill from the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority on Saturday. "When I opened the bill and first looked at it I thought it was $33. Then I realized it was $3,353. That's quite a bit more than his final bi-monthly bill from the city of Wilmington, his previous water provider, a bill that totaled less than 15 dollars. Bob Kellum says he's not the only resident on Meshoe Street in Castle Hayne with an outrageously high water bill from the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority. "My neighbor directly beside me was around $2,500. Right down the street was $4,000 and to the other direction one bill was $8,000."
The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority was, in part, created to make everything easier for residents of Wilmington and the unincorporated areas of New Hanover County, but Bob Kellum is not impressed with what he's seen so far. "It puts doubt in your mind. We know the intent is to serve the community these utilities, but at the same time they need to be accountable to us. You never know, if there's a mistake in our area in Castle Hayne there's going to be mistakes anywhere in the county."

It has been almost eight years that Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif ventured into Hindi Film Industry. Her dust to dawn story is awe inspiring and stunning as despite of all the reports of support she got from Salman, it was eventually only her hard work that made her survive in the industry.
"I believe in destiny, God's hand and hard work. The audience has accepted me. Though I won't deny that Salman's immense knowledge and guidance came handy but I've also worked really hard to be at par expectations," said Katrina. As Bollywoood is flooded with newcomers, there is a constant hike in competition amongst actresses. But Katrina is unfazed with all the competition and the hype around it.
"I am too focused to concentrate on the newcomers. I believe in healthy competition and in my case I believe that what's meant for you will come to you. Nobody can take that away from you. I am destiny's child," added Katrina who truly feels blessed to have survived for so long.

Val was raised on raw food first the first year of her life, and we still try to get her to eat a lot of raw and unprocessed foods. We do enjoy sweets here, but the amount of flour and sugars in regular cookies is just not needed for a toddler's growing body (or any body really).
I used to buy her packaged, raw macaroon cookies from Whole Foods, but then we moved back to MI and I didn't have a Whole Foods close anymore. I started to order them online, and now I must buy them in bulk if I'm going to order them. And they are expensive!
So, if I make my own cookies to save money why wouldn't I also make hers?
These are much cheaper to make at home – the only thing I had to buy extra was coconut and they are super easy! No baking required!
Raw Macaroon Recipe
- Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 1/2 cup almond or coconut flour (I used coconut)
- 1/2 cup agave nectar
- Pinch of salt
- Drizzle of maple syrup (I added this for some *glue* to make it stick together better)
Mix all together, mold into balls with hands, and eat them up!

West Coast Conference Preview
2. Portland: Could the Pilots surpass Gonzaga? They have a chance because of the return of five starters, including Nik Raivio and T.J. Campbell.
3. Saint Mary's: The losses of Patty Mills and Diamon Simpson will knock the Gaels back a bit, but Omar Samhan is one of the top centers around.
4. San Diego: The return from injury of guard Brandon Johnson will help, but De'Jon Jackson and co. will have to step up to help him.
5. Santa Clara: Without John Bryant down low, the inside-outside combo of Kevin Foster and Marc Trasolini will need to become stars.
6. San Francisco: Dior Lowhorn is one of the league's top players, and guard Kwame Vaughn is a double-figure scorer in the backcourt.
7. Pepperdine: The Waves return four starters from their nine-win season of a year ago, including guard Keion Bell and forward Mychel Thompson.
8. Loyola Marymount: The Lions were just 3-28 a season ago, but they have some young talent on the roster, namely Jarred DuBois and Vernon Teel.
Player of the Year: Matt Bouldin, G, Gonzaga
All-Conference Team:
G- Matt Bouldin, Gonzaga

As of today, I can officially announce that my student-run business, the Butler Bed Buddy, was approved for a $5,000 loan to continue onto the next semester of the Real Business Experience! As a part of the first semester of the Real Business Experience program, students are required to go in front of an actual funding panel that the College of Business brings in (which are usually alumni of the College of Business) in order to hear our proposition for our business. Businesses are allowed to ask for a maximum amount of a $5,000 loan for the second semester, which they put to use in continuing their businesses full force! All of the loans are funded through the College of Business and, of course, have to be repaid at the end of the semester.
I'm really happy to be a part of the Butler Bed Buddy team, which is modeled off of our mascot Butler Blue II. This class has truly shown me why I want to be a part of the College of Business as well as becoming a global entrepreneur in the future as well. My business will be using the $5,000 loan we were approved for in order to order more products to hopefully wholesale to local companies in order for them to sell the Butler Bed Buddy as well!

I am not cheering for none of the two since they are my favorite Football teams, although, it would be cool to see Chelsea getting that shining UEFA Champion's League Cup.

Note: This post is intended for FreedomVoice customers using our FreedomIQ hosted VoIP phone system. Not a FreedomIQ customer? Check out how upgrading to our hosted VoIP platform can help your business at www.FreedomIQ.com.
We are happy to announce that you will soon be able to purchase the SonicWALL TZ 210 and NSA 240 routers directly from FreedomVoice. Through our testing, we have found these routers to have robust firewalls, be capable of extremely effective Quality of Service (QoS), and we believe they will be great additions to any FreedomIQ service. And remember, when you order any hardware from FreedomVoice, we will preconfigure it for your unique system before shipment.
What is QoS?
QoS prioritizes web traffic going through the router. With good QoS, which SonicWALL routers provide, VoIP traffic can be given top priority over other network traffic, maximizing call quality. Without QoS, HD videos, streaming online radio, other web traffic and your VoIP call all fight over the same amount of bandwidth which can lead to calls with poor call quality. These SonicWALL routers, when programmed properly, will give your VoIP calls the VIP treatment and leave the rest of the traffic to share the remaining bandwidth. Check out our SonicWALL QoS demo below:
The SonicWALL TZ 210 is capable of handling up to 20 phones on the FreedomIQ service. It has a gigabit Ethernet interface, allowing you to connect it to an internal network gigabit switch for faster internal access. The TZ 210 also features application traffic analytics to determine how much bandwidth an application is using, optional wireless b/g/n for secure high-speed connectivity, along with WAN, analog modem and 3G cellular modem failovers to keep your network online all the time. Complete specs.
SonicWALL NSA 420
The SonicWALL NSA 240 is a step up from the TZ210 featuring dual-core processor architecture which allows FreedomIQ service to work for up to 60 locally connected phones. Complete specs.
With the addition of these two new routers to our existing supported list, we are able to give you more options to find the product that works best for your business.

Filibuster Reform Makes Liberals Mad
In essence, they wanted to take away Republicans' right to filibuster, and it didn't happen.
In essence, they wanted to take away Republicans' right to filibuster, and it didn't happen.
Erick Erickson's parting thought in the comments is well worth consideration.
Harry Reid may be afraid that if Democrats lose the gun control fight they could lose the Senate as well. Which would hand the Republicans a pretty big stick just when turn-about was in the wind.
Oil Can Harry may be a corrupt villain and a smarmy jackass, but he still knows enough to hedge his bets.
i took it to mean he was afraid if Democrats win the gun control fight they could lose the Senate as well
2. Second.
Regarding Harry Reid and the gun control battle, it brings to mind a formulation that Hunter S. Thompson once used to describe a difficult situation that some politicians found themselves in: "Losing would hurt pretty bad, but winning would be downright intolerable." That may not be exactly how it went, but that was the general sentiment.
If Democrats win the gun control fight they'll be too busy dealing with the Insurrection Act to worry about filibusters.
If they thought the British taking DC in 1814 was bad, having the modern equivalent of The Green Mountain Men, or The Swamp Rats, descending upon DC would terrify their little souls.
Plus, there is no Army of the Potomac to protect them.
It seems to me the unhappy liberals complaining today are largely making the same sorts of argument in the post I linked above.
I remember when the Democrats used the threat of filibusters to derail even Circuit Court nominees under Bush. When Republicans considered a "nuclear option" of getting rid of filibusters for judicial nominations only, to hear the Left squeal you would think we were going to burn the Capitol and poop on FDR's grave.
Now they are furious it isn't being completely overturned by fiat (Reid envisioned a parliamentary ruling prohibiting filibuster on adoption of rules, and slipping it in that way).
Obama and his followers have no sense of the value of the institutions that they are destroying for short term gain, at best.
The short term thinking of that incompetent pack is breathtaking to observe. One wonders what it takes for people to realize how willing Obama is to sacrifice so many others to his incompetence and ego.
That "incompetence and ego" just won a very important election, an event causing the Republican establishment to hyperventilate, while the Tea Party continues on as if nothing changed. Does anyone really think that the hyperventilation will produce significant change, i.e. change in their policies toward the demographics they have alienated? I doubt it, because basically change is not in the Conservatives' DNA. Therefore, obstruction marches on along with continued deterioration of our nation whose dysfunctional government cannot get anything significant accomplished. Pretty gloomy, eh? Basically we need our two parties working together to produce compromise solutions, like the good old days. I'd like to be surprised and wrong!
Perry enjoys spleen-venting.
… whose dysfunctional government cannot get anything significant accomplished. Pretty gloomy, eh? Basically we need our two parties working together to produce compromise solutions, like the good old days.
Okay, that just cracked me up.
I know, they get their stimulus, obamacare, Suttton/Dillinger passed, it's just that nothing that really works, gets through
It's not Democrats or Republicans who lose when the filibuster filibusters, it's the right of a people just to debate an issue. I can't see anyone defending secret holds in cowardly fashion.
now it's the Republicans looking to keep the filibuster but I remember Hillary when she was the majority complaining about the minority in the Senate treated like "plantation" folk.
It serves no one to block debate of a bill that has 51 votes. No matter what side your'e on
The filibuster protects the minority from the tyranny of the majority. Respect for the rights of minorities is one of the reasons republics endure and majority dominated democracies quickly devolve into dictatorships.
while the Tea Party continues on as if nothing changed
Me thinks the TEA Party is set to engage The Long War, and will continue to do so!
As RR once said: You can accomplish almost anything in …. if you're not concerned with who gets the credit.

Corporations, LLCs, Partnerships, Etc. Lawyers

What Business Management Structure Should I Use?
Businesses can have many different management forms. These include corporations, LLCs (limited liability companies), sole proprietorships, partnerships, and limited partnerships. You can select a business management form specific to the business you plan to engage in, and the types of products and services you offer.
Some Considerations When Selecting a Business Management Structure
- What are the potential risks and liabilities of my business?
- What type of costs am I willing to incur to establish and maintain the business structure?
- What are my potential investments?
- In what manner will my state and the federal government tax the business?
Types of Business Management Structures
Here are a few commonly used business structures:
- Sole Proprietorships - A sole proprietorship has only one owner, and it can be created without formalities. In a sole proprietorship, the owner makes all the management decisions for the business. All of the profits and liabilities of the business also belong to the sole proprietor. Thus, if the business assets cannot pay the bills, the owner of the sole proprietorship will be held personally liable to the creditors. A sole proprietorship is not a legal entity - it does not exist apart from its owner.
- General Partnerships - A general partnership does not need formalities. In a general partnership, two or more individuals agree to own the business together and make management decisions for the business. The partners share the profits and financial losses of the partnership, and they are individually liable for the business debts if the business cannot pay for its bills. Additionally, a partner in a general partnership may bring contract, tort and criminal liability on to the other partner because the partners are considered agents of the other. However, partners have a duty to act in the best interest of the partnership, and a partner can sue the other partner if the other partner does not act in the best interests of the partnership.
- Limited Partnerships - In a limited partnership, there are one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. The general partners make the management decisions of the business, while the limited partners do not. However, the general partners also assume 100% of the risk for the liabilities and debts of the limited partnership. The limited partners, on the other hand, only risk the financial contributions they make to the limited partnership. Generally, all the partners in the limited partnership share the profits of the business.
- Corporations - A corporation is a legal entity separate from its owners (shareholders) and managers (officers and directors). A corporation can buy and sell property, enter into contracts, and be sued in its own name. In order to form a corporation, you must follow the specific guidelines required by your state statutes. The shareholders of a corporation are generally not responsible for the debts of the corporation aside from their financial contribution to the corporation.
- Limited Liability Companies - A limited liability company (LLC) shares the limited liability of a corporation, but is not held to the same strict management requirements under law. Similar to a corporation, one can only create an LLC by following state laws. An LLC is generally defined as a business entity somewhere between a corporation and a partnership that consists of one or more persons. The LLC has managers, members, and sometimes employees. The owners (or members) of the LLC participate in the management of the business. Members, managers and employees are not held personally liable for the debts of the business.
Should I Consult an Attorney about My Business Management Structure?
The business organization laws vary depending on the state of incorporation and the type of business you are trying to form. An attorney will help you determine what type of business structure is best for your organization. Timelines and deadlines for creating a business organization are generally strict in many states. A lawyer can assist you with following all the detailed procedural rules, contacting all the necessary state and federal officials, and adhering to the deadlines for organizing a business organization. Furthermore, an attorney can give you advice as to the tax laws that will apply to your business organization, and they will help you follow the procedural rules of your state should you desire to dissolve.

Many of us tend to lead hyper-connected lifestyles these days and we simply cannot be bothered with all of those different cables. If you're feeling the itch to cut a few cords, you may be interested in the Samsung ST1000 digital camera.
You might remember the unboxing video that I posted last week, giving you a glimpse at what could be the most highly connected consumer camera to date. This thing has wireless radios up the wazoo.
Features and Box Contents
As a quick refresher, the Samsung ST1000 is meant to approach the slim consumer digital camera market, but it brings many features that you may not find in many of its competitors. This 12.2-megapixel camera gets 5x optical zoom, a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, smart gesture UI, smart auto mode, advanced dual image stabilization, and up to ISO 3200.
Perhaps even notable, as mentioned, is its highly connected nature. You get GPS for geo-tagging, Bluetooth for wireless file transfers, and Wi-Fi for uploads. This includes the ability to upload your pictures and videos directly to Facebook, Picasa, YouTube, and more.
Unlike nearly every other digital camera out there, the Samsung ST1000 does not use the standard SD memory card format. It has a little bit of internal storage, but the main memory card slot is actually microSD. Thankfully, the cellphone-centric format has gone down significantly in price, so picking up an 8GB card (or bigger) won't cost too much.
Forget About Buttons
Flipping around to the back of the camera, you'll find that it doesn't have much in terms of physical controls. There is one small button toward the top-right that gets you into playback mode, but all the other modifications are done through the touchscreen.
From what I can tell, the touch display is capacitive, just like the iPhone. When I tried going through the on-screen menu to adjust the settings, I could not do it when I had a glove on. What this means is that while the touchscreen is finger-friendly, it may not necessarily be winter-friendly.
The on-screen user interface very much mimics the interface you would have with hardware buttons. You can touch the icons on the screen to adjust the flash, autofocus, self-timer, image stabilization, geotagging, and so on. The right and bottom "buttons" can be stowed away like a hidden dock. This works quite well and it gives you good access to all the features.
If you have the geotagging feature activated and the camera is able to detect your location, you can have it show the name of the town or city on the screen as well. This can also come up when you're browsing through your photos on the camera, since they can be sorted not only by date, but also by location.
Connecting via Wi-Fi… Sort Of
This certainly isn't the first camera with Wi-Fi, but I do like the ability to upload pictures taken directly to the world wide web. Unfortunately, it seems to only scan for SSIDs that are visible and available.
You can access protected networks, but you can't access networks whose SSIDs are hidden. That's a pain for security enthusiasts who do that (like me). I've encountered similar issues with WiFi-equipped photo frames and this is something that all makers of consumer electronics should bear in mind.
And the Picture Quality?
I thought the picture quality offered by the Samsung ST1000 was quite good. Shown above is a macro shot that I took at Starbucks and it was able to pick up on the colors quite well.
You can see a few more sample shots on my Flickr account, including a couple where I used the "classic" color option. This makes for a great grayscale photo and you can apply filters like it from the playback menu as well as during the photoshoot itself.
If you're the kind of person who values all sorts of wireless connectivity and you love messing around with big touchscreen displays, the Samsung ST1000 seems to be a very solid choice. The build quality is great, the picture quality turns out quite good, and the optical zoom doesn't result in a protruding lens. The geotagging is a nice touch too.
I would have really liked to see a stronger Wi-Fi utility that allowed for connection to hidden SSIDs and this camera is a little heavier than I would have liked, but this is still a great picture-taker. Too bad it's currently listing at over $500.
Overall Rating: 7.5/10
where I can get this camera?
As being an owner of ST1000, it is a quite fun, convenient and useful camera. Specially, the GPS and Wi-Fi features are great.
I shoot all kinds of stuff with all kinds of cameras. I am a working photographer who shoots for advertising and corporate client as well as to make images for my own books about photography. Over the last two years I've been using small cameras like the Canon G10 and the SX10 for more and more of my work. In the studio, shooting set up shots or small products these cameras shine by dint of their easy to use Live View and increased depth of field. When I bought the SX 10 it was for the long range of the zoom lens which meant I could shoot anything from a construction site to tight shots of the cabins at the top of the construction cranes. I've done some portraits with studio lights and an SX10 and they were also very usable. I wish the SX 10 and SX 20 had raw file capability but they don't. That just means I have to be a bit more careful about WB and exposure. I've used the SX10 at outdoor swim meets and found that the lens performs better than expected right out to the end.
It looks pretty simple but it offers lotsa fun stuff to play with. Cool!
It's cool to know that the battery can stay longer … like my WB500, I do prefer this type of battery than the AA alike… nice!
This camera offers some fun stuff inside… no-buttons policy that Samsung took and replaced it with a big LCD touch screen concept is definitely awesome! No more worries over buttons haywire, not functioning after numerous times of usage… Love the geo-tagging, smart gesture, wi-fi, etc! Great!
Is this camera Mac compatible ?
Dude, no offense, but this is a seriously shallow review. You hardly delved into the feature set and you only posted a few basic pictures. How did the geotagging work? How accurate was it? How long did it take to get a fix? Did it delay your shooting? Did the bluetooth function well? How was the email/facebook functions? How about boot-up time? Have you ever done this before?
It was better than your review :-
Is the MAcro feature NIce? please reply soon thx!
Unfortunately, this camera falls back to a 35mm (equiv) wide angle, though it optically zooms to 175 mm (equiv.) Most cameras meant for outdoor use (why else have a geotagging capability) have long ago moved to at least a 28mm (equiv) lens. Most modern cameras (including Samsungs) are moving to a more midely-enjoyable 24 or 25mm (equiv.) Other than that, this camera looks gret (on paper, anyway.) Just my 2¢…
I bought this camera a few weeks ago. The GPS accuracy is quite good, however there were some photos where the accuracy was out by a bit. However on my camera, any time after 1.pm showed in the world time feature as 12 hours ahead, which also changes the date too. Also using the in camera photo editing features, (like red eye fix) either before a taking a photo or after wards made the date on the picture reset to 13/1/2009 (UK format date!)
Based on my usage, it displays the name of the city and it's accurate in that respect. I didn't dive into the EXIF for anything more specific than that. The battery is proprietary and it's smaller (about 1100 mAh), but I was able to use it for at least a few days (intermittently) before I lost a bar in battery.
Any more detail on the GPS accuracy/reliability? Battery life?

New White Denim MP3: "Sitting"
- SPIN Rating: of 10
Thanks to the high marks issued to their debut EP, Let's Talk About It, which dropped in May 2007, Austin, TX, trio White Denim joined the likes of Tokyo Police Club and Black Kids as bands building buzz without a full-length release. Now, two months out from the Nov. 3 release of their debut album, Explosion, the record's first leak, "Sitting," proves that White Denim's tenure as conversational fodder for in-the-know audiophiles won't end anytime soon.
An Americana-style mix of electric keyboards, slashing guitars, and drums, "Sitting" is layered in distant, empty-booze-bottle vocals, and features a lengthy tune-capping reprise punctuated by reverberating chants of, "You sitting with me." Even an unexpected saxophone solo (saxophone!) only adds to the band's appealing mix of rustic Texan-bred country, garage-rock urgency, and psychedelic nuance.

This is my first Robert Caro read but it will not be my last. The Passage of Power is so well written and in such a conversational style that I sprinted through its 600+ pages in about a week while sidelined with a severe cold. Mr. Caro's research for his epic LBJ biography, of which this is the fourth of a planned five installments, began in 1976. Given that, you must assume how well documented his biography of our thirty-sixth president is. The time frame covered in The Passage of Power is from the late 1950's through the first seven weeks of LBJ's presidency following the assassination of President Kennedy. The history contained therein is fascinating for those of my generation that as political junkies remain interested in JFK's surprising election in 1960 and how it ended in Dallas. You will come away after reading this book with a much more informed and appreciated view of both JFK and his administration as well as how fortunate this country was to have LBJ ready to take the reins under such tragic circumstances. The contrast between these two men is wonderful to read and I will never look at future VP choices the same again. It matters. It matters a lot. LBJ's performance after Dallas as you'll read was masterful and out of that nation changing, history altering, day in late November 1963 this country ended up with the one man of all who could push through the civil rights legislation pending in a recalcitrant congress. Speaking of a recalcitrant congress it is here, where this book documents events of more than 50 years ago, that I came away with a better understanding of today's battles between the congressional and executive branches of government which are actually quite normal. LBJ's experience and understanding of where and how power is to be both found and exercised is the overarching theme of Mr. Caro's study of his subject. The author illuminates in great detail how President Johnson through this personal understanding of how legislation is both moved, and more often stalled, back in 1963 and 1964 overcame those tactics and moved the country forward. I couldn't help but better understand and be able to better put in context today's struggles between our current Chief Executive and Congress. The Voting Rights Act is in the news today as are our bitterly divided congressional and executive branches respective approaches to the big issues we face as a nation. After reading this book maybe you'll come away as I did with an understanding that throughout most of the twentieth century this situation, this extraordinary tension between branches, is not the exception but rather the norm. LBJ was an exceptional man for his time when history called him on November 22, 1963 and no matter what was to come in Vietnam I didn't appreciate that to the extent I should have. What a life. What a warrior in the arena rather than spectating. It seems to me President Johnson is not remembered so much for his contribution to Civil Rights as he should because of what was to come in Vietnam. I look forward to reading the first three volumes of Mr. Caro?s biography and provided his health and stamina remain what will be the fifth volume that will explain how LBJ went from this high in 1964 to refusing to run again in 1968. The author?s team and his own unsurpassed research efforts will tell that tale as well as it can possibly be told.
