Iron Mountain
Like the trooper pointed out to Gadget Boy, best to be aware that these sometimes pesky critters are all over the place.
There are also a few moose around. We ran into a couple just the other day. Don't get too close to these as they can get ornery.
Stopped to look at a ski jump (and the related view).
This one is kind of small compared to the world class ski flying facility we'll visit further along in the ride.
Some people were building a verterans memorial on top of this high hill. I took of moment to thank them for what they were doing. These things don't just happen, some dedicated people work hard to see them come to fruition.
Even though the forests were largely destroyed in the early days of the lumber business, for a variety of reasons that I'll cover later, things have come back and the timber industry is strong here.
Surprisingly, the biggest employers in the UP are prisons and casinos. Tourism far outdistances these in the summer, but the season doesn't last long. One travel outfit listed the UP as one of the top ten travel destinations in the world. There is a lot of great stuff to see and do here. It seems like it is a long way to go from many places to get here though.
By the way, when enjoying these twisty roads, keep an eye out for sand left over from the winter that can make the corners a little dangerous.
Some of my fellow ADVers will recognize that corner from when sand wasn't a problem but tar snakes were.
Best to keep in mind that some of these roads are pretty unscientific (decreasing radius turns, etc).

Mansfield Mine Disaster
Next stop, the ghost town of Mansfield and the site of the Mansfield Mine Disaster.
Iron ore was discovered here so they ran a rail spur up from Crystal Falls and got a mine going. The mine was going well. They were down about 425 feet and had six side shafts. I think 125 miners were employed here.
One of the side shafts ran under this river. The top level was only 35 feet below the river. On September 28, 1893, the shaft caved in under the river and the river flooded the mine. The cave in caused a downdraft that blew out candles and lanterns in the mine. The miners made a break for it but got caught in a torrent of water pouring into the mine.
Five made it out by scrambling up ladders. Twenty seven died. A look at the names gives some hints as to immigrant miners.
Eventually they re-routed the river and got back in business. The mine closed in 1913 and logging and farming took over. The mine eventually got down to 1517 feet and produced 1.5 million tons of ore that was shipped by rail to Escanaba on Lake Michigan.
This ghost town once had 2 stores, a boardinghouse, a school, a church, and three saloons.
As if they didn't have enough trouble, a year after the cave-in a devastating forest fire came through that burned up the stuff on the east bank including some mining works.
The church, on the unburned west bank, has since been restored and is a great building.
Some cabins left to rot.
This homestead has been reasonably maintained and all of the buildings seem to be in great shape.
I am surprised that televison antenna lasted that long though.
A nearby hydro project. Still valuable today.
Note the use of the tainter gates. These were invented in Wisconsin in the logging days and are now used world-wide.
Some of the stuff on the bike. I travel alone a lot so I use a SPOT tracker. I don't rely on it, but it is one more thing in the event something bad happened. The satellite radio works well. In the wooded areas where the roads are narrow and the trees close in it falters a bit. I use the 2610 for highway stuff. For rides like this one, the 60 series with tracks suits me best since I often end up in places where the paths don't route.

Crystal Falls and Some Political Mischief
When Iron County was established in 1885, the county seat was set up in Iron River. Crystal Falls wanted the seat pretty badly so they engaged in a little mischief to get it. Some people from Crystal Falls arranged for a poker game to be held at the temporary courthouse in Iron River after a board meeting. Sometime into the game, two supervisors from Crystal River pretended to go upstairs to go to bed. Instead, they stole the county records and hauled them off to a hiding place. Some wrangling went on and finally in 1888 they held a county-wide election to decide the issue. Crystal Falls won by a narrow margin and both sides accused each other of importing votes and some other hocus-pocus. Finally, in 1890 they floated a $30K bond and went to work building this magnificent courthouse that sits atop a hill overlooking the town.
The clock was added 20 years later and had to be hand wound weekly until the 1940s when they converted to electric.
During WWII the balcony was used for air watches. Iron production was important so air watches were necessary. There is a huge bell in the tower that can be heard for miles. I read that it was no longer being rung because the vibrations were doing damage to the building. They must have fixed that problem because it rang 11 times when I was there.
A nice view looking east going out of town.
This house is now the Harbour House Museum. It is a brick and cement block house built in 1900 for the Harbour family. It is noted for the steamboat style wrap around porch. It is furnished like a victorian home of the 1900s.
The nearby town of Alpha is part of Mastodon Township (named after some dino-bones they found when looking for iron). Mining started in 1884. The village was incorporated in 1914 and had a bank, lights, and a water system. It was a marvel of urban planning with the important facilities formed around a traffic circle. Population peaked at 530 in the 1930s.
Headframe for the nearby Judson Mine. Another open pit mine nearby had a cave-in that trapped 12 miners. They managed to dig out five survivors.
Always happy to see these old buildings maintained and continue to be used.
Another reminder about pesky deer.
As you know, if there is one on the shoulder, there are probably more very nearby.

Between Crystal Falls and Iron River
This is the Fortune Pond. It was an open pit iron mine from 1953 to 1958 during which it produced 1.3M tons of ore. It was left to fill in with water. The pit is 210 feet deep, 750 feet wide, and 1930 feet long. It has great visibility and is a favorite spot for scuba divers.
I always wonder a little about the water in mining areas. Anytime you penetrate so many layers so deep in the earth and then leave shafts to fill with water, I guess some bad things can happen. Not sure if this relates, but it does bring some issues to mind.
This State Park was a county park for many years. It was developed during the hard times that produced works projects like the Civilian Conservation Corps. Anytime you see a lot of rock work, log buildings, and the like from that era, there is a good chance it was done by something like the CCC or other programs like the Works Progress Administration. There is some CCC stuff here. You are welcome to drive through the park even without a sticker as long as you don't stop.
Some nice backroads in the area.
Lots of trees close in - don't miss a corner.
When snowmobiles first took off, there must have been a few hundred manufacturers. Now the program has cooked down to a few giants. In the old days, you would see all kinds of configurations. This 1970s period Canadian made Passepartout (the name of a Jules Verne character) snowmobile has tracks like a tank and no skis. What a gem.
This site was a pre-european indian settlement that was a headquarters of some sort. Various bands would congregate here.
Love these stone buildings.
Sometimes you are riding along and you unexpectedly happen upon some mine works. This is the Rogers Mine but I couldn't find much info on it.
In 1919, Herb Larson (a county official) established this roadside park. His aim was to try to have some timbered buffer along the highway instead of the clear cutting that was ruining the area. He saw the need for a rest area for motorists to use to rest, eat, and share information. The result was this wayside park which they claim to be the first in the nation.

Iron River
The Iron River area was a concentrated spot of iron mining.
A nice looking depot. Railroads were big in this area.
I was hoping to eat lunch here but they weren't operating yet.
The museum in town has a great collection of cabins that they moved to the site from around the county. They also have a great mining exhibit.
This was a cabin and later became an office for a logging company.
This apparatus was used to lift logs off of sleighs and wagons.
Another company office.
Ironically, the Diamond Match people quit some operations in the UP in part because their logging practices led to some devastating fires.
I wonder what winter was like in these cabins.
The #3 shaft at the Caspian Mine. (The museum is at the mine site.)
This 60 foot #2 shaft headframe suddenly sank beneath the surface when a mud hole opened up at 3:25PM on June 17, 1937. In the end, this finished off the mine. This mine had produced 6.6 million tons of ore (shipped via rail to Escanaba).
This is the #1 headframe that is still standing in the park. It is the tallest remaining headframe in the county. This one hauled ore out of the mine. The one that sank hauled miners.
Here is a picture of it back in the day. Note the landscaping around the mine building.
A steam roller.
There were many great buildings put up during high times. So many have fallen into disrepair and have been abandoned. It is kind of sad. When I looked past the deterioration and saw what this original structure and site were like, I was very impressed. Some buildings I was looking for specifically on this trip had recently been torn down. One was a hotel in Iron River where a lawyer got into it with a prohibition agent over arresting someone in the hotel for drinking. My take on it was that the lawyer had a few himself before the confrontation started.

Capricorn Child
Ready for successPretending, dressing-up, playing hide-and-seek – none of these are likely to be high priorities for your little Capricorn. She is just too ambitious to waste time on such pointless games!
Capricorn children tend to be practical and like to be rewarded for their achievements. Your child will be willing to work hard to get results and she might know from a young age what she wants to be when she grows up. If she is slow to develop or choose a particular interest though, don't worry. Capricorns improve with age.
Capricorn children are planners. They crave success and approval. Your child will want others to see how smart, hard-working and skilled she is, so try to praise her often.
Giving your Capricorn child pocket money and increasing it with each birthday is a good way to teach her about the value of things. Don't be surprised if she puts it all away in her piggy bank and uses it only for the occasional, much-wanted item.
Your Capricorn child will make a wonderful older sibling because she has a natural sense of responsibility. Try not to give her too much at a young age though, no matter how well she seems to handle it. Even the most serious children needs time to play and relax!
Also, try to teach your little Capricorn the importance of being flexible. Otherwise, it's all too easy for her to slip into just one way of seeing and being in the world.

Sanchez puts backfield in motion
New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez solidified his status as an NFL punchline with his infamous butt-fumble against the New England Patriots in November. He even has this statue to prove it .
Now, seven months later, it's Sanchez's own rear end that has the internet abuzz.
See, Sanchez has apparently been spending some time in Napa Valley lately, along with a woman named Alana Kari. We know this because Kari shared — and then quickly deleted — several Vine videos from her trip to wine country, some of which (sadly, they've all been removed from YouTube) included Sanchez.
But Sanchez partying out west with a reported LA socialite during the offseason, while interesting, doesn't ruffle too many feathers. What does get people talking, however, is video of Sanchez's bare backside dancing around the kitchen, which is exactly what Terez Owens unearthed and posted to the internet. ( Warning: Video contains naked butt.)
We can't show you the actual video, for obvious reasons — you can visit T.O. for that — but here's an edited screenshot. You can trust us when we tell you that the pixelated part of the image is, indeed, a rump.
Now that we know how Sanchez spends his time when he heads to the left coast during the summer, it's easier to understand why Jets rookie QB Geno Smith is still so non-committal about attending Sanchez's "Jets West" camp later this offseason.

A repository of knowledge, tips and techniques for the production, marketing, and use of wood charcoal. Since our original efforts at making and marketing all-natural, hardwood lump charcoal as the best fuel for outdoor grilling, we've expanded our scope to look at uses of charcoal from wood of many different tree species. Recent research has shown that wood charcoal or "biochar" can play prominent roles in the restoration of degraded soils, agroforestry, and carbon sequestration. Small diameter trees are an abundant, practical material for charcoal-making in Virginia and the southeastern United States. When used for this purpose, they help reduce risks of wildfire and serve to improve the health and growing conditions of forests in our region.

By Doug Stanglin and John Bacon, USA TODAY
A violent storm that brought rare, late-season tornadoes to the Midwest was heading to the northeast and out to sea Monday, leaving behind death and destruction in 12 states, including some communities with entire blocks of houses flattened.
The death toll rose to eight with scores of injuries reported. Authorities feared the casualty list would climb as towns begin to clear roads and restore communications.
The wave of thunderstorms Sunday brought damaging winds and tornadoes to Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and western New York.
Six deaths were reported in Illinois, two in Michigan.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn on Monday declared disaster emergencies in seven counties. He lauded first responders for "working to exhaustion" to search for survivors and clear roads. And he vowed to work with the federal and local governments to expedite recovery.
"We're in this together," Quinn said at a brief press conference. "We're a team. We are the people of Illinois - we never give up, never surrender. We will prevail."
The National Weather Service said showers and thunderstorms would continue to develop as the storm moved eastward into New England and Canada, but that the widespread severe weather threat had diminished.
The weather service said around 80 tornadoes were reported as of Sunday night, but that the actual number will likely be in the 30 to 40 range because the same tornado often gets reported multiple times.
In Illinois, an elderly man and his sister were killed when a tornado hit their home in the rural southern community of New Minden, coroner Mark Styninger said. Three people perished in Massac County in the state's southern tip, and one person died in Washington, outside Peoria.
The National Weather Service said two tornadoes were rated EF-4, the second-highest rating on the Fujita scale, based on damage. Winds reached at least 166 mph in New Minden, and the Washington twister had winds estimated at up to 190 mph, the weather service said.
Washington, a town of 16,000 about 140 miles southwest of Chicago, appeared to have been the hardest hit. A violent twister cut a path about an eighth of a mile wide from one side of town to the other, State Trooper Dustin Pierce said. Several blocks of homes in one neighborhood were destroyed.
"The whole neighborhood's gone. The wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house," said Michael Perdun, speaking by cellphone.
At OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, spokeswoman Amy Paul said 37 patients had been treated, eight with injuries ranging from broken bones to head injuries. Another hospital, Methodist Medical Center in Peoria, treated more than a dozen, but officials there said none of them were seriously injured.
In Michigan, Jackson County Sheriff Steven Rand said Ryan Allan Rickman, 21, died when his vehicle was crushed by a fallen tree Sunday night. And the Shiawassee County sheriff's department said Philip Daniel Smith, 59, was found dead and entangled in high voltage power wires after going outside late Sunday to investigate a noise.
More than a half-million homes and business were without power in Michigan early Monday, and power companies DTE and Consumers Energy said it could days for power to be completely restored.
In Lebanon, Ind., Melinda Wissig, a shift supervisor at Starbucks, said she looked up as someone shouted and saw a funnel bearing down on the coffee shop.
She rushed to the drive-thru to warn customers to come inside then took shelter with 10 other people in a bathroom,The Indianapolis Starreports. Wissig said she heard "a lot of crashing glass." Then, after two or three minutes, silence.
When she came out, Wissig saw a floor covered with debris, windows blown out and a car flipped on the sidewalk out front. No one was injured.
In Lafayette, Ind., Tippecanoe County schools Superintendent Scott Hanback said two school were severely damaged by the storms. "We're very thankful it happened on Sunday and not a school day with students and teachers (inside)," he said. "Yeah, it's pretty overwhelming."
Weather service meteorologist Matt Friedlein said such strong storms are rare this late in the year because there usually isn't enough heat from the sun to sustain the thunderstorms.
But he said temperatures Sunday had been expected to reach into the 60s and 70s, which he said is warm enough to help produce severe weather when it is coupled with winds, which are typically stronger this time of year than in the summer.
"You don't need temperatures in the 80s and 90s to produce severe weather (because) the strong winds compensate for for the lack of heating," Friedlein said. "That sets the stage for what we call wind shear, which may produce tornadoes."

4 killed in upstate NY; police search village
James Baron, the 29-year-old mayor of Mohawk, said he doesn't know Myers but knew several of the people who were shot, including "at least" two of the barbershop victims. The mayor described his village as close-knit and friendly, "the kind of place where you'd say, `Oh, it would never happen here.'"
Herkimer County Community College and local schools were on lockdown. The college sent an automated cellphone alert around 10:40 a.m., telling students and staff that there was an "active shooter" in the area. The message identified the gunman as a man in his 60s, with a white beard and driving a red Jeep Cherokee. A text alert a few minutes later said the campus was on lockdown. Another alert advised people to remain inside buildings until further notice.
Amanda Viscomi, Herkimer's acting clerk-treasurer for the village of 7,700, told The Associated Press the shooting at Gaffey's happened a few blocks from village hall. She said she was told the shooter was at large and that state police, sheriff's deputies and other police were swarming the area.
"Everybody's on lockdown, all the schools, the college, the village," Viscomi said. "It's very, very scary."
Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the head of the state police arrived in the area Wednesday afternoon and were expected to brief the media later in the day.
Herkimer is named for the German immigrant family that settled in the western Mohawk Valley in the 1720s. The economically distressed villages are two miles away from Ilion, where a 2-century-old Remington Arms gun plant is a major employer.

Shmoop Snoops the Facebook Profiles and Email Inboxes of the Gods, Launches Free Mythology Learning Guides
Shmoop helps students pry into the inboxes, walls, love lives, scandals of the Mount Olympus and Valhalla A-List.
Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) August 10, 2011

- Translation for those not hip to Olympus Twitter lingo: Stomping on Clouds Throwing Lightning Bolts
According to an anonymous Valhalla-based publicist, Shmoop's team of private investigators infiltrated some seriously personal files and facts about the Greek, Roman, and Norse gods. Included in this info leak of heroic proportions:
- Profiles and Walls: Puzzle at Aphrodite's "complicated" and oft-changing relationship status. Her favorite quotes? Lyrics from fellow divas Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé.
- Email Inboxes and Diaries: In a leaked email exchange between Thor and his therapist, we learn that the supposedly tough muscleman of the Norse gods has some serious daddy issues.
- Photo Albums: Scope the gods with the beach bods. Peep the latest in toga fashions… Who wore it better? What were they thinking?
- Police Reports: See who got busted. Recidivist shoplifter Mercury, mischief-maker Loki, and drunken party boy Dionysus cannot seem to keep their hijinks out of the gossip blogs.
- Cliques: Navigate the complex social scene of the hallways and school cafeterias of the gods. Know your jocks, the nerds, the mean girls. Survival tip: don't look at thuggish Neptune the wrong way or he might slam you into the lockers.

Brigadier Peter Young, DSO, MC & 2 bars (28 July 1915 – 13 September 1988) was a British Second World War soldier who served in the commandos, eventually commanding a brigade.
Subsequently he went on to command a regiment of the Arab Legion before leaving the Army to become a lecturer at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
In later life he founded The Sealed Knot, and became a well-known military historian and author.
Early life[edit]
Born in London to Dallas Hales Wilkie Young and his wife, Irene Barbara Lushington Mellor,[1] Young attended Monmouth School and subsequently read for a degree in Modern History at Trinity College, Oxford.[2]
Having joined the Territorial Army while at Oxford, Young was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in 1938[3] but this was converted (and backdated to 1937) to a permanent commission in the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment in January 1939.[4]
Second World War[edit]
Assigned to the 2nd Battalion Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment, Young went to France with the battalion in 1939 as part of the British Expeditionary Force. Following the Battle of France, the battalion was evacuated from Dunkirk during which Young was wounded. After he recovered from his wounds Young volunteered to join the Commandos and on being accepted joined 3 Commando in time to take part in the second commando operation of the war - Operation Ambassador - in July 1940.[2] Promoted to Lieutenant in August 1940,[5] Young was to serve in the commandos for the rest of the war. Following Operation Ambassador and the subsequent operations, Operation Claymore and Operation Archery, Young was awarded the Military Cross (MC).[6]
Promoted to Captain Young spent some time on the staff of Combined Operations Headquarters before returning to 3 Commando as second in command with the temporary rank of Major.[2] In this role he took part in Operation Jubilee, the Dieppe Raid, in August 1942 for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO).[7] Still with 3 Commando, Young participated in Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily where 3 Commando were one of the first units to land. For his part in this operation Young was awarded his first bar to the MC.[8] After Sicily, Young became Officer Commanding 3 Commando and led them during the invasion of Italy.[9] Young and 3 Commando were withdrawn to England in October 1943 but the intervening period was enough for Young to be awarded a second bar to his MC.[10] In June 1944 Young took part in the Normandy landings, still with 3 Commando but following the Normandy campaign he was promoted to temporary Lieutenant Colonel and posted to the Far East as second in command of 3 Commando Brigade, a post he held until the end of the war although he did for a while become the Officer Commanding the Brigade.
Post war[edit]
Under the complicated British army system of substantive, acting, temporary, brevet and war substantive ranks, Young ended the Second World War as a substantive Lieutenant but also with the war substantive rank of Lieutenant Colonel and the acting rank of Brigadier. It was not until August 1945 that he was promoted to the substantive rank of Captain.[11] After attending the Staff College at Camberley[12] and a subsequent staff appointment at GHQ Middle East Land Forces, in 1953 Young returned to the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment as a company commander with the substantive rank of Major.[13][14] However peacetime duties were not to his liking so he was seconded to the Arab Legion as Officer Commanding its 9th Regiment, a post he held until 1956 and subsequently recognised by the award of the Jordanian Order of Al Istiqlal.[13] Promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in 1956[15] he returned to England in staff appointments before retiring from the army in 1959 with the honorary rank of Brigadier.[16]
Later life[edit]
Upon leaving the army, Young became Head of Military History at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst between 1959 and 1969 before he retired to concentrate on a writing career. His first two books, both autobiographies, Bedouin Command and Storm from the Sea had been published while he was still in the army but his lifelong interest in history and with the position at Sandhurst he began to write history books particularly on the English Civil Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. In 1968 he founded the Sealed Knot, a re-enactment society dedicated to the English Civil Wars.[17] His writing career continued until his death and he also worked as a historical and military consultant on a number of TV series.[17] He was elected as a Fellow of Society of Antiquaries of London, the Royal Historical Society and the Royal Geographical Society.

"I was really nervous about this card in particular because we're not having a traditional sit down dinner. Additionally, I wanted to have the designer pick a different attending/not attending option to reflect if my guests were getting a guest or not. They did a really great job at making this card work for me! People that have seen this also really thought the chicken was super cute so that's fun."
"These RSVPs are perfect and match so nice with the Togetherness In Love invites. Sturdy and beautiful and attractive design."
"We are getting married in the Canadian Rockies and we wanted an invitation set that reflected the outdoors but that was still elegant. We ordered the wooden wonder in the greyish silver colour and it's perfect. The quality is outstanding and durable, the print is clear and of high quality and the font is modern. We love it!"
"I ordered this invitation for a fall wedding and couldn't have been happier. The card is a good size; it has a little weight to it. Customer service was excellent and very easy to work with.

Ballistic face mask
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (November 2013)
A ballistic face mask, also known as facial armor, is a type of personal armor designed to protect the wearer from ballistic threats. Ballistic face masks are usually made of Kevlar or other bullet resistant materials and the inside of the mask may be padded for shock absorption, depending on the design. Due to weight restrictions, protection levels range only up to National Institute of Justice Level IIIA.

The snake weighed an estimated 1.25 tonnes
WASHINGTON: The largest snake the world has ever known — as long as a school bus and as heavy as a small car — ruled tropical ecosystems six million years after the demise of the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex, according to a new discovery to be published on Thursday in the journal Nature.
Partial skeletons of a new giant, boa constrictor-like snake named "Titanoboa" found in Colombia by an international team of scientists and now at the University of Florida (UF) put the length at 42 to 45 feet, said Jonathan Bloch, a UF vertebrate palaeontologist who co-led the expedition with Carlos Jaramillo, a palaeo-botanist from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Researchers say the extinct snake was even larger than the wildest dreams of directors of modern horror movies.
"Truly enormous snakes really spark people's imagination, but reality has exceeded the fantasies of Hollywood," said Mr. Bloch.
Jason Head, a palaeontologist at the University of Toronto in Mississauga and the paper's senior author, described it this way: "The snake's body was so wide that if it were moving down the hall and decided to come into my office to eat me, it would literally have to squeeze through the door." Besides tipping the scales at an estimated 1.25 tonnes, the snake lived during the Palaeocene Epoch, a 10-million-year period immediately following the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, said Mr. Bloch.
Size does matter because the snake's gigantic dimensions are a sign that temperatures along the equator were once much hotter. Snakes and other cold-blooded animals are limited in body size by the ambient temperature of where they live, said Mr. Bloch. "If you look at cold-blooded animals and their distribution on the planet today, the large ones are in the tropics, where it's hottest, and they become smaller the farther away they are from the equator," he said. — Xinhua

Rating: 5/5Just Awesome for Bicycles
This review is from: Tire Valve Cap Blue LED Light (4-Pack)
Pros: Turns on when you start rolling, turns off when you stop. No switch, no hassle, just works. Very bright for the first 40 miles, next 20-30 miles about half as bright (still usable). Since each pack comes with two "sets" for a bicycle I just swap them out when they get too dim. You are very visible to motorists on the road! Highly recommended, especially if you ever commute by bicycle at night.
Cons: the batteries are sort of round and hard to get in the tube, it's easier to buy a new set (They're cheap!) than replace the batteries.
Other Thoughts: the housing is "chromed" plastic, looks metal, but still holds up just fine. batteries included is a nice feature.

I'm looking for the best approach for selecting the "optimal" network server. Use case: A user at home needs to access a network through any one of the geographically dispersed servers, and we want our desktop app to automatically select one in under a second. The servers block ICMP packets so ping won't work. We're thinking of sending HTTPS HEAD requests to each server and measuring the response time. We had to rule out geographic proximity.
Any suggestions?

Amanda Bynes sparked worry yesterday by posing in just her underwear in a bizarre set of Twitter photos. But her behaviour has now grown even stranger with the star getting her boobs out and posing topless, wearing just a pair of ripped tights for her latest Twitpic spree.
Amanda posed for the first photo which showed her completely topless, her boobs just about covered by her hand and hair.
The second photo showed her sitting on a bathroom cabinet, still topless and wearing just a pair of completely shredded tights.
She tweeted this alongside the caption: "Long hair, don't care."
The photos followed another random racy posing session a day earlier, where Amanda took multiple photos of herself in just a lacy black bra and pants.
But it's not just getting half naked of selfie photo sprees that's got us a bit concerned - Amanda recently got her hands on her estimated $5 million fortune and is planning to spend it all.
She also recently announced on Twitter that she has an eating disorder, and stepped out showing off worryingly matted hair extensions just a couple of weeks ago.
[Related article: Amanda Bynes posts half-naked underwear Twitter photos]
[Related article: Amanda Bynes plans to spend all her savings]
Added to that, Amanda has also had several brushes with the law after driving under the influence and being involved in two separate hit and run incidents.
We've got no idea what's going on with her, but we hope she's OK.

Going Electric !! 2012 Zero DS Long Term Rider Report

Joined: Mar 2006
Location: Idaho
Oddometer: 305
Pics and Details of the 2012 Zero DS
Here are some detailed pictures of the DS if you have not seen one in the wild.
Fast Ace suspension components allow for decent suspension performance and good adjustability. The motor is AC Brushless.
There is no transmission. The motor is directly coupled to a belt final drive. This makes for a very smooth and silent final drive. I had belt drive on my Buells and HD and like it. I hope it holds up to some dirt use.
I like the style. Not everyone agrees.
Dual sport tires provide decent traction in the loose stuff and nice manners on the road. The rear wheel is a 16" which will be really limiting in terms of what rubber can go on it. The 2013 Zeros have more standard wheel, tire sizes.
The charge port is in a dumb location for a DS machine. I cut off a power cord plug and put it in the socket when riding to keep it clean. Again, the 2013 models moved this to a more logical location. The on board charger lives here.
Cool mirrors. Nice view of elbow. Typical of most motorcycles.
Instrumentation is simple. GRN light tells you it is on. Turn on the key, put up kickstand, release kill switch, twist throttle and go.
Nice little details like the logo on the seat.
Slim profile.
The frame is a work of art. Absolutely beautiful. Same for the swing arm.
Brakes are single disc front and rear Hayes, as in Mtn bike fame. The rear brake doesn't get a lot of use as the motor provides regenerative braking. Braided steel brake lines are a nice touch.
Zero Force 9KiloWatt battery box. The heart of the bike and weight is here.
Belt Drive
Long Travel suspension.
I had Big Twin add some hand guards and a windshield for cold weather morning commutes here in Idaho.
Charging at work.

All I wanted was a 45, a stinking 45 - the record or the gun. I'd even settle for the damn malt liquor. - Al Bundy.
Porsche says she doesn't want to tell people she's a VIP cocktail waitress cause she's afraid they'll think her life is "too luxurious" and not give her the big prize. *groan*
Send me home next week! I'm taking food out of your daughter's frikkin mouth ... I'm stealing books and schools from kids in Africa! - Zach
So, half of them have started off by lying about their jobs/careers. Over-strategizing already much?
commercial break then we get the duos. FINALLY
Keith is a total pimp.
Cassi seems as cool as I thought she'd be.
Overall, I don't totally hate any one houseguest. All of them already seem more interesting than last year's group.
Please no Jesse
I like Adam, though he may wear on my nerves after a while.
Do NOT like Porsche and fake preacher guy. Kalia is boring.

De Leon takes oath as new Treasurer

Finance Undersecretary Rosalia de Leon on Friday took her oath as the new National Treasurer, succeeding Roberto Tan, who is now an executive director with the World Bank Group.
She previously handled the Department of Finance's International Finance Group (IFG), helping manage risks of the government's debt and undertake liability management transactions covering the country's external debt portfolio.
While at the IFG, De Leon oversaw the execution of several major transactions in the global capital markets, including the issuance of global bonds as well as the exchange of outstanding global bonds with new floats.
Even as she assumes office at the Bureau of Treasury—which takes on domestic funding exercises—De Leon helped in Friday's global peso bond offer and the standing call for a buyback of dollar and euro bonds.
Assistant Secretary Ma. Edita Z. Tan, who has been with the IFG's international finance operations since 1992, takes over the IFG as officer-in-charge.
Last November 1, De Leon's predecessor Tan started a two-year term as one of 25 executive directors of World Bank.
Tan took over "EDS15" of Office of the Executive Director No. 15, which represents nine countries including the Philippines, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Haiti, Panama, Suriname, and Trinidad & Tobago.
Tan was nominated for the position and elected by other members of the EDS15 countries during last month's World Bank meeting in Japan.
World Bank executive directors are based in Washington, DC, and, in continuous session, conduct the general operations of the WB group.
The DOF has been regularly seconding key personnel to the WB's board of directors.
Other finance officials that represented the country in EDS15 included Undersecretaries Jeremias Paul and Gil Beltran and Assistant Secretaries Soledad Cruz, Ma. Teresa Habitan, Tan (the IFG OIC) and, most recently, Ma. Lourdes Recente.—Ronnel W. Domingo

Typical HP printer3/1/2012
I have never like the HP software that comes with their printers. This one is no exception. Had difficulty setting up the wireless but it did work. Just give us the damn driver and leave us alone.
this is awsome
Beware Router Model1/10/2011
Easy set-up, great pics and docs. Had to call 800 number because printer did not function as wireless. Found out my router, Actiontec M1424WR cannot identify printer Advised that Kodak working with Actiontec to revise this issue. Was very disappointed but works grast with USB cable.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Good Printer, minor issues.1/8/2011
This does a good job of printing, but is a bit noisy. It also seems to have to go through a prolonged warmup for the first document. It's a little complicated to get it set up to do wireless. Otherwise, it's a great printer at a very good price.
Problems with some documents12/26/2010
This printer seemed to be a great value - priced at less than the cost of new cartridges. Once installed, it works well with most tasks, including duplexing, although rather noisy. However, there were problems installing on my Mac, and once it was in there were problems getting it to print documents where content went beyond standard margins. Docs that would print on other printers would cut off the last two lines on this printer, despite hours on the phone with tech support. Since I have marketing materials that extend to these margins, I will be trying a different model to see it that will work.
Network setup can be a bear12/5/2010
Good luck if you're using AVG Internet Security. HP's installer software can't configure the AVG firewall to open the necessary ports, so you need to do this manually. Unfortunately, AVG seems to change the firewall setup with each new version, and the documentation is poor. HP's "support" forum offers this advice: "just disable the firewall - you don't need it if you have a router". Yeah, right. BTW, HP's "imaging monitor" software communicates incessantly with the printer using SNMP. This may hurt battery life on a laptop.
very easy to set up quality looks good12/3/2010
While we haven't used it much yet - the ease in setup of this item can't be beat, both for the printing itself as well as the wireless use - it's great!
Works just fine and the price was right10/30/2010
I purchased this printer because I wanted more than 1 computer in my house to be able to print. The price was great, the 2 sided printing feature was good, and it's wireless. I used Windows Vista to setup the printer, and it was very easy to do. I have a laptop with linux (fedora 12) installed, and it found the network printer without any trouble. It is a bit noisy when you print but for under $100 I can live with that.
Good for the money10/1/2010
I have had it for over a month. It is a tad noisy, but it prints fine and it caught my wireless signal immediately. BTW, Mac OS 10.5.8.

Lynn Carter, Planetary Scientist
October 17, 2012
From a distance, the dry, ancient surfaces of the Moon, Venus, and Mars look nothing like the dynamic planet we live on. But the same forces that shape our world — volcanoes, plate tectonics, and impact craters — have also driven the evolution of our closest neighbors. As part of NASA's Planetary Geodynamics Laboratory, scientist Lynn Carter discusses her passion for geology, both here on Earth and throughout the solar system.

A Southern Pudu, a member of the world's smallest deer species, was born at the Queens Zoo last month.
The fawn, which weighed just one pound, could weigh as much as 20 pounds as an adult and be up to 14 inches high at the shoulder.
Pudus bark when they sense danger and are excellent jumpers, sprinters and climbers. Southern pudu are native to Chile and Argentina and are considered a vulnerable species.
