Taking the new guy to the limit across Idahos Hawaii
A small stretch of imagination is required to conflate dry sagebrush plains with a tropical island. Look a few feet under the surface, though, and Idahos Owyhee County and the islands of Hawaii are much the same, each formed by ages of volcanism, each resting upon millennia of basalt flows.
It is not this similarity for which the Owhyees are named, however, but rather to honor a small party of Hawaiian fur trappers found killed about 1820 near the Snake River (Roadside History of Idaho, p. 172). It has always been a land equally fascinating and fatal.
Hey, I think Im gonna take tomorrow off, I sort of mention to my co-workers. Family obligations and a sketchy forecast have ruled out weekend riding but the new tire, freshly synchronized throttle bodies and sunshine require something.
A note about my plan on the Boise section of ADVRider.com catches the attention of a new dual sport rider, Ben. He tells me hed like to go. Great! My wife Jessica is glad I wont be out there alone.
red route track
Ben and I are going to take Pleasant Valley Road south to Grand View and a nearby pioneer cemetery that a friend at work has told me about.
I am pulling off helmet and gloves at Dennys by the airport when a guy on a KLR wearing a high-viz jacket and toting a waterproof duffel bagall proud hallmarks of adventure ridingpulls up
I reach out my hand. Ben?
We get acquainted and review the route over his omelet and my Moons over My Hammy.
How fast do you go on the gravel? he asks. He hasnt been on a ride like this and is a bit anxious.
Well, that depends, I explain. If its straight and I can see far enough ahead, I might go seventy or eighty. I guess that might not be the answer he wanted, so I add, just go whatever speed youre comfortable with. Theres no hurry.
I gather from his comments that this new endeavor is part of a little lifestyle adjustment. I feel kinda like a dork, he says, noting his still-pristine riding gear.
Im sure well take care of that, I reassure him.
Leaving Dennys behind, I see dust billowing in my mirrors as Pleasant Valley Road turns to gravel. I speed up thinking to create some separation but the air is still and the dust lingers. After the next intersection we ride side-by-side.
The pungent smell of manure signals our approach to Grand View along the Snake River, home to a cattle feedlot that boasts the largest holding capability in the United States, with a one-time capacity of 150,000 head (Simplot). It seems an odd point of pride, like boasting you have the largest garbage dump or most polluted river.
After gas and snacks at the Grand View Shell station, we follow Mud Flat road to the old Turmes Ranch, a rest stop to travelers in the late 1800s. The family burial ground, Shoo Fly Cemetery, is across the road at the foot of the ancient Lake Idaho shoreline (Owyhee Uplands Scenic Byway, p. 16).
Ben and I pull off to look at the cemetery and curious geology. The epitaphs are notably laconic. Father, Mother, without elaboration, much like their own history, reduced to a couple nondescript, unoccupied stone buildings amidst miles of emptiness.
the Turmes homestead by the tall trees in the mid-distance
Someone has taken time to honor the dead, albeit with dollar store flags and plastic flowers.
We notice the sand here, when inspected closely, consists of spherules rather than grains. It looks like the fertilizer I just put in the yard, I observe. We climb to the rocks above the cemetery, which have the whimsical forms of volcanic tuff, and see theyre composed of the same spherules, cemented together in fluid forms.
Have you been to Leslie Gulch? I ask. Its like this on a larger scale.
No I havent, Ben answers.
We walk around making separate inspections of the contorted rocks, small flowers and mosses springing from their crevices. I see two jack rabbits hop hurriedly away, perhaps leading deeper into wonderland. Beds of dry grass and twigs suggest the many diminutive hollows are home to the rabbits and their ilk.
I would have loved to come here with my toy trucks as a kid, I observe. Its fertile ground for a young imagination. You know, I think Id have fun playing trucks here right now, I add.
I imagine families pulling up to the Turmes Ranch a century ago, perhaps on their way to a gold prospect or returning the opposite direction from tragedy. The parents are tired and dusty, ready for respite, but the kids, having been cooped up in the covered wagon, are excited when the Turmes kids offer to show them around.
They climb the hill across the road to these rocks where, for an hour, they are friends, as kids can be, and perhaps fellow sea captains, or soldiers in pursuit of Indians.
We have seen all we can without some hiking. Ready to move on? I ask.
Whenever you are.
We have a lot more to see.

Part 2 of 4: Homestead
From the oolite and interred Turmes, Ben and I follow the gravel Shoofly Cut Off Road east to Highway 51 where we turn toward Nevada. We quickly gain over two thousand feet of elevation as we rise from the bottom of ancient Lake Idaho, the mud flat, up the southern shore to what was once savanna roamed by camels, mastodons and saber-tooth cats.
The modern roadway terrain is less excitingcontinued sagebrush spreads uninterrupted across the plain. If destinations were selected based on whats visible from the highway, we wouldnt come this way.
Twenty miles later, we reach Battle Creek Road which runs nearly perpendicular to the highway, east and west, over to parallel canyons that drain north to the primordial lake bed behind us. East is the Bruneau Canyon where I camped with others a few weeks ago. Today were going west.
The bleak road belies a dramatic history.
Zeno Falls is that way, I point, but first I wanted to go up here a couple miles, I explain, nodding in the opposite direction, to what is supposed to be a canyon overlook. Weve come to a stop at an intersection by a large Bureau of Land Management map display.
Sure, Ben answers. I think hes up for whatever.
The road is a bit more fun this waya few little rocks to dodge and some dry ruts to zip around. I watch Ben in the mirrors. No problem.
Then a problem. The GPS says to turn but I expect the empty sign post wants to tell us not to. I walk over to check. Yep. The sign is face down in the dirt, broken from its mounts, Im sure, by an unhappy rider. I set it against the post.
I guess we wont go that way, I lament. At least we didnt come far. Was that road okay for you?
Ben answers yep so we pick up the pace a little as we head the opposite direction to Buncel Place along Duncan Creek. Little rocks become big rocks and the terrain turns rough. This is more like it.
This is cool, Ben exclaims as we pull in front of the abandoned Buncel Place. A little hodgepodge house and nearby stone barn speak of lives played out over decades.
I notice the house is shingled with large tin cans that have been cut and unrolled. Thats resourceful. Were they saving cans from their regular food supplies? Or did they visit neighbors on horseback, asking, hey, do you have any cans youre done with?
The barn is also built with available resources, local rocks stacked into walls without any mortar that I can see.
There were some big trees here, Ben calls from the other side of the house. No large trees grow naturally among the sagebrush so the family must have planted saplings and nursed them to maturity.
All that remains of the trees are old bones crumbling into the ground and bleached white under years of desert sun. Two snaking lines of stones mark a garden path near the rotting trees. The path is now so obscured by sagebrush that you have to be on it to notice. The trees, the stones ... someone cared about this yard. It must have been pretty.
I bet the wife was bored and did all this, I joke. Ben replies in kind, though we dont imagine thats quite the truth.
The area is dotted by sandy mounds, homes to the remaining inhabitants. Ive always thought red ants were meaner than black, I comment as I stoop to watch several pull a beetle to its demise atop a mound, but Ive not read any science on it.
Fire ants, Ben answers, two words to confirm a shared impression.
Fire ants, killer bees I think theres a generation of boys haunted by these things. Werent they supposed to be moving up from Mexico to kill our pets, perhaps kids too?
Are we gonna cross that? Ben asks, looking to Duncan Creek just below the house.
Yeah. You want to walk over and take a look? We walk a few yards and realize the wire fence will force a long way around.
How bout we stop to check it out when we get there? I suggest. Ill ride across first. You can watch me, see how it goes. Then give me a moment to get the camera out, I finish with a smile.
This will be Bens first water crossing and he wouldnt mind a few tips.
Well, go ahead and stop at the edge to have a look but once youre in the water, focus on the opposite bank and go, I advise. Dont over-think it.
Are you ready? I ask.

Well dang, I'm not seeing any mud yet, but it sure is green out there right now. Regarding the New wilderness, I anticipate numerous locals are not happy, and will take time, a long time to come to grips with it, for some. I've not seen that land change in my over 20 years of playing out there, hell the the bovine and indigenous fauna out number the periodic bipedal by 100 to 1 easy. Alas this is progress.... I guess. All that said I would never vandalize like that. but for some they need to vent their emotions, kinda like the person that yells at the clerk over the price of gas.

What if negotiations included fans?
Updated: July 5, 2011, 2:08 PM ETBy Tim Keown | ESPN.com
Let's get something out of the way first: We're not missing anything yet. The NFL and NBA lockouts don't mean anything until we reach the point where games are not played. In many ways, the NFL lockout has been a blessing. The idea of the owners locking the doors to extract a few more nickels from the rank-and-file is obnoxious. Their poor-mouthing is unbefitting plutocrats of such stature. Still, anything that spares us endless and pointless reports from training camps and OTAs is a good thing....

The Instant Dissolve MicroLingual® Tablets go to work fast, bypassing the digestive system as they are quickly absorbed directly into the body under the tongue. DHEA is a natural precursor to testosterone and estrogen and may support sexual energy and vitality. DHEA also promotes bone strength. DHEA levels naturally decline with age, making Superior Source DHEA an excellent choice for supplementing this important hormone.
The Instant Dissolve MicroLingual Tablets may be small but they are full potency! Typical tablets and capsules need to be swallowed and are inefficiently absorbed in the digestive system. MicroLingual tablets dissolve immediately under the tongue heading straight into the body. The proprietary hydrodrying process results in fewer inactive binders and fillers and a higher ratio of nutritional ingredients - hence the small size. They effectively provide your body with the nutrients you need right now.

Originally written on No Guts, No Glory | Last updated 10/26/12
Good news, Seattle fans. David Stern wants to make up for standing by and watching your Sonics move to Oklahoma City. And according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, not only does Stern want to make up for it, he's in fact "determined" to put a franchise back in Seattle before he retires in 2014. According to Wojnarowski, Stern has become a close ally with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and his group who are trying to bring back a franchise to Seattle. But since the league can't create just an expansion team in Seattle, an existing team would have to move there. And which team do Ballmer and Stern have their eye on? You guessed it, the Sacramento Kings. Ballmer's group has been trying to get the Maloof family to sell the Sacramento Kings, so that the franchise can eventually play in a new arena in Seattle. From the league office, pressure on the Maloofs to sell has been growing, sources said – just as hopes for a new Sacramento arena have been fading. Seattle Sonics fans will nev...

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Close to public transportation in the residential Parioli district
The Polo Hotel is located in the quiet, residential Parioli district. It's far from Rome's main attractions, but close to a bus stop. Be prepared to take plenty of taxis or stay in the area: Rome's public transportation system is notoriously inadequate.
Rome is known as the "Eternal City" and is full of ancient ruins, museums, cafes, shopping, and famous monuments. Some of the most popular attractions include St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museum, the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, and the Colosseum. Some of the best designer shopping can be found on Via Condotti. Rome is also a wonderful city for enjoying people watching in Piazza Navona or Campo dei Fiori.
The Polo Hotel is located in the quiet, residential Parioli district of Rome. This mid-range option is near public transportation, but not within walking distance of popular sights. The lobby has an upscale, classic look with vases full of white tulips, but rooms are on the basic side. The retro decor includes muted paisley wallpaper and maple-colored wood finishes. The result feels outdated, but rooms are clean, fairly spacious, and include flat-screen TVs and stocked minibars. Free breakfast is offered in the American Bar Restaurant, and the lobby bar offers a cozy space to relax with a drink. This no-frills property is a decent pick for travelers on a budget.

Keep Buying Wal-Mart [View article]
Everyone in the family contributed to the family needs and as we grew up and married no one in the family was ever on welfare.
I really think Sam Walton who started Wal-Mart probably grew up under similar circumstances and the thought of helping people with lower costs for their products they had for sale was upper most in the companies minds and hearts. I say we should all be thankful for Wal-Mart. I am still and will always be a shopper at Wal-Mart even though I do not have to watch my pennies now. I say "Hurray for Wal-Mart".Nov 25, 2013. 03:47 PM | 8 Likes |Link to Comment
Nearly 100 oil companies including Exxon (XOM), Conoco (COP) and BP are sued by a Louisiana flood protection group seeking the repair of coastal storm buffers, claiming they degraded storm protections by dredging canals for pipelines and exploring in coastal wetlands. The industry, which has a fund that uses oil royalties to restore damaged areas, says wetlands have been degraded by many factors. [View news story]Jul 24, 2013. 06:58 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

BP (BP +0.4%) has allocated $2.85B to develop Iraq's Rumaila oilfield in 2013, up from $2.2B last year, with plans to drill new 300 oil wells over the next five years, according to the head of the joint management committee for the field. Boosting output from Iraq's most prolific oilfield is vital for the country to realize its ambition of raising oil exports to 6M bbl/day by 2017.

A new test concept by Wal-Mart (WMT) on the campus of Georgia Tech will involve opening a tiny 2.5K square foot store aimed at suiting the needs of college students. The big picture: Though the amount of merchandising at the mini-store will pale in comparison to an average Wal-Mart Supercenter (182K sq. ft), by offering financial services and a pharmacy to students the retailing giant could build up brand loyalty in a key demographic.

Our team learned a lot. We had fun working together and doing our research. We learned some computer modeling and learned how to write reports and make deadlines. It was a lot of work, but it was a really good experience. I plan to continue this project next year, and hope the rest of my team does too. Tazler, Aspen Elementary School

Proposal: Insect infestation is a large problem many people have in their homes. Many people have trouble getting rid of or preventing insects from infesting their home. The first reaction is to kill the insects with different methods such as poison. But insects are a main part of our ecosystem being they are primary consumers. Without them, there would be a "chink" in our food chain causing other consumers to either be extinct or lack protein and energy. We are going to research insect infestation and to prevent or cure it. We will research insect population to find the percentage of insects that infest and the percentage that is killed in prevention of infestation, telling whether killing the insects is a good cure and will not affect our ecosystem.

NFL Will Allow Chad To Call Himself "Ocho Cinco"
For some reason, people care that Chad Johnson recently changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco. Fans cite this as more proof that Mr. Ocho Cinco is an egotistical jerk only interested in self-promotion. Maybe, but I'm not sure adding the Spanish words for "eight" and "five" to your driver's license suddenly means you haven't always been a narcissist.
Presumably, Johnson made Ocho Cinco his legal name because it's decidedly lucrative; he'll get a percentage of each new "Ocho Cinco" jersey sold. Whatever, the NFL has decided to play along and will allow the wide receiver formerly known as Johnson to go forth and wreak havoc.

University of Adelaide researchers say a small wasp that scientists had forgotten about for more than 200 years is now making a name for itself as a predator of Australia's most common dangerous spider, the redback.
The wasp (Agenioideus nigricornis) was first described scientifically in 1775 by Danish entomologist Johan Christian Fabricius, thanks to samples collected in Australia during Captain Cook's first great voyage (1768).
"Since then, scientists have largely forgotten about the wasp," says Professor Andy Austin from the University of Adelaide's Australian Centre for Evolutionary Biology & Biodiversity. "It is widespread across Australia and can be found in a number of collections, but until now we haven't known the importance of this particular species."
The wasp is now being dubbed the "redback spider-hunting wasp" after a family in Beaconsfield, Western Australia, discovered one of them with a paralyzed redback spider in their back yard.
Florian Irwin, then aged 9, spotted the wasp dragging the spider several meters to its nest, and his father, Dr Peter Irwin, photographed the event and kept the specimens. Peter, who is an Associate Professor at Murdoch University, contacted the Western Australian Museum about the discovery; the Museum alerted Professor Austin and research fellow Dr Lars Krogmann at the University of Adelaide.
"The Museum knew we were doing research into the Agenioideus, which belongs to the family Pompilidae, the spider-hunting wasps. Little is known about them, despite various species of Agenioideus being distributed throughout the world," Professor Austin says.
"We're very excited by this discovery, which has prompted us to study this species of wasp more clo

Not enough sleep?
Kids in Singapore sleep less than those in Switzerland: Study
Published on Apr 20, 2012 6:00 AM
It's after 10pm on a weekday, but the playgrounds can still be packed with young children at play.
They should be in bed by then, say doctors, who warn that insufficient sleep could affect the children's long-term health and academic abilities.
A study of 372 children aged from two to six by six paediatricians from the National University Hospital found that their snooze time is less than that of children in Switzerland, which has also done a study of the sleep patterns of children aged two and older.
Two-year-olds here sleep about 11.3 hours a day, including naps – almost two hours less than the sleep time logged by Swiss children of that age. The toddlers had only nine hours of night-time sleep – 2.4 hours less than what Swiss children had.
Six-year-olds here had 8.8 hours of night-time sleep and about 10.4 hours including naps. The researchers did not give the length of time that Swiss children of that age slept, though they said they had more sleep at all ages.
The findings were published in the latest edition of the Annals, the journal of the Academy of Medicine, which is a society of medical specialists.
The paediatricians said there is no evidence that taking naps in the day is as good as uninterrupted sleep at night.
They were surprised with the large number of children over the age of two who were still taking naps in the daytime – more than 76 per cent, compared with just 5 per cent among Swiss children.
They said that is likely to be a "reflection of inadequate night-time sleep", though they conceded that it could be due to cultural differences and schooling practices here.
The study found 44 per cent of children here had difficulty waking up in the morning and 40 per cent woke up tired – both symptoms of inadequate sleep.
The paediatricians said their findings were a "cause for concern" since children with later or irregular bedtimes, short sleeping times and daytime sleepiness have "lower academic achievements".
They added: "Sleep deprivations are associated with the increased incidence of learning disorders, unintentional injuries, obesity, impaired immunity and mood and anxiety disorders."
What they found equally worrying is that a vast majority of parents think their children are sleeping enough.
About 84 per cent of parents said their children had enough sleep, 90 per cent said they had no sleep problems and even the 10 per cent who said there were problems felt the child would grow out of it.
The authors said there is a need to educate parents on the amount of sleep their children require.
One of them, Associate Professor Stacey Tay, told The Straits Times: "My personal experience is that many children and teenagers are quite sleep-deprived. They see me in the clinic for headaches, dizziness and poor attention in class."
But once they started sleeping longer, many of their physical problems improved, she said, adding that some children showed "markedly improved academic ability".
The study also noted that four in five children share the same room or bed with another person. This could lead to disruptions in sleep, even if the child gets the required number of hours.
The authors said: "Both quantity and quality of sleep are important for the normal developmental growth of children."
They concluded: "The significantly shorter duration of sleep that Singaporean preschoolers obtain may have implications on their long-term health and academic performance."

Best Answer 2600Sam , 18 January 2014 - 12:27 PM
Hi 2600Sam,
Thanks for your instructions, however they are in dire need of updating and fixing. Using your instructions, I've managed to set up everything except for the Apple TV itself (it's at my girlfriend's and I'll set up that portion this weekend). That said, I've already encountered a fair share of difficulty trying to understand your instructions, and I shouldn't have to search through 9 pages of this thread in an attempt to find answers. Here are the issues I've encountered so far:
- Not really an issue but more of an observation: the Light version of OpenSSL seems to work properly for creating the certificates, so you should be okay to recommend it.
- There are 2 lines that are very cryptic and ultimately unnecessary, i.e.: "in windows explorer navigate to the directory and LEFT click... etc. ...press the shift key and RIGHT click... etc." You're just looking to run the batch file, which can be accomplished by simply double-clicking on the .bat file. You don't need to be in a particular directory before running the batch file because the file contents already point to absolute locations (with exception to the incorrect directory naming conventions that I will mention in the next point below).
- The cert.create.bat file refers to directory names that have periods before the subfolder (e.g. C:.\trailers.key). Windows directories aren't named this way. This should be changed to C:\trailers.key. Ironically, the original link that you referred to from the langui.sh site has the correct directory naming convention, so I'm not sure why you went out of your way to change it?
- For the statement: "before the batch file finished it will run the trailers.der one of the 3 files that was just created", please correct the grammar and add brackets for the last part so that the statement is much easier to understand, i.e. "before the batch file finishes, it will run the trailers.der file (i.e. one of the 3 files that was just created)".
- "Your Cert directory should have 5-6 files now". No it won't, because your batch file instructed the trailers files to be created in the root of C:\ (assuming you first take out the periods I mentioned in point #3). If you really want the files to appear in the Cert directory, you'll have to update the batch file to reflect this, and instruct the users to create a directory that exactly matches what's listed in your batch file.
- "go to the assets directory and create a directory called certificates there". This directory already exists.
- "Give it a Name and Identifier" - Does the Identifier have to be in the format com.<whatever>.profile? I named mine com.appletv.profile and it seems to have worked, but I just want to be sure.
That's all I have for now. When I load up the certificate on the Apple TV this weekend I'll let you know if there should be any other updates made.
1. Updated
2. Those are Win7 specific (updated to reflect this) : see point 3 below
3. Maybe you should read up on batch file programing.....using C:.\name keeps it in the current directory (usually where ever the bat file was run) so that it can be executed in any directory anywhere and people won't have to use my archaic or complex directory naming system. Using C:\name would place the files in the root directory. I wanted to make it simple for people to use.
4. grammer nazi much (this obviously annoys you and that make me happy so it stays)
5. reread point #3
6. at the time this was written that directory did not exits it does now (updated)
7. did you see the picture "enter something" maybe it should say "enter anything" it doesn't matter, I called mine PlexConnect-Fix and it still works!!

Searching for another hopeless romantic...or maybe a new friend along the way =)
I love going out and spending casual time with friends. I can seem shy at first, but usually that's just temporary. I also love randomness, so my conversations with friends usually end up jumping all over the place. I guess very generally I am just looking for someone that I can talk to for hours and spend quality time with. Some characteristics I would like to find in a partner would be intelligence, ambition, and open-mindedness. Other than that, I'm usually of the opinion that it would make life more interesting to date someone with some different viewpoints to engage in healthy debate. Ideally he would be ambitious, have strong values, and family/friends would be important to him. Hopefully you now have a general sense of what I'm looking for!

Editorial Staff • West End • 3 Aug 2006
Partly an autobiographical account of Joyce's relationship with his wife Nora Barnacle, the common-law marriage of Richard Rowan, a writer, and Bertha, some kind of Irish man magnet, is tested when they return to Dublin after an absence of nine years. Richard's best friend Robert Hand, a journalist, propositions Bertha, having arranged for Richard to be elsewhere during their tryst. But Bertha has told Richard about her attraction to his friend, and he turns up too. This is a battle of two men's souls, says Robert: "of your soul against the spectre of fidelity, of mine against the spectre of friendship."
What little I remember of Pinter's production hangs around John Wood's febrile, hawkish Richard, but Peter McDonald presents an entirely different reading, one of open resignation, almost saintly indifference to the hierarchy of relationships. In his crumpled linen suit, he is a very picture of sympathetic emotional lassitude, and this completely wrong-foots Adrian Dunbar's superb, sexually insidious Robert in their big scenes together.
It has been suggested that while the men's battle is centred on Bertha, it's also rooted in a homoerotic idea of possessing the same woman and therefore growing closer together. Everyone knows how stuck on Ibsen Joyce was at this point in his career; but the insistence on truth, the unravelling of an obsession, is less powerful here than such shimmering ambiguities.
The production has a pregnancy of mood that is hypnotically sustained by the silhouetting of the actors in Peter Mumford's lighting and the opalescent transparency of Hildegard Bechtler's design. Richard and Bertha's son Archie (Thomas Grant) seems delightfully immune to the triangular shenanigans, while Marcella Plunkett as Richard's cousin Beatrice plays a first scene that colours the entire evening; Richard is not as pure and devoted as he would like to be. By the end, he is suffering from "a wound of doubt".
Adrian Dunbar is a languid sadist of a seducer, always prepared to justify his advances. But the play really works because Dervla Kirwan suggests that Bertha is totally in thrall to her own impulses and that she cannot decide what to do until she fully understands them. All the performances, in fact, illuminate a play that can seem dense and impenetrable on the page but which reveals not only the secrets of the human heart but also the peculiar agonies of Joyce's marriage. This is an important, as well as fascinating, revival.

Bill Madden's column from today's Daily News.
Junior achievement:
Staying on the field
Just before he left his Orlando home for the trek south to the Cincinnati Reds' spring training camp in Sarasota in February, Ken Griffey Jr.'s 10-year-old daughter Taryn called him aside to ask him a question.
"How many years have you been playing baseball, Daddy?" she asked.
"Eighteen," replied Griffey, "Why?"
"I don't know," she said, "except that you're old!"
Well, one supposes, at 36, he is old. By baseball standards anyway, and certainly by Junior standards. We have always thought of him as this modern-day version of Willie Mays, playing the game and patrolling center field with carefree abandon, epitomizing the joy of baseball. At least that's the way it was for the first 10 years in Seattle when he was playing it free and easy, routinely leading the league in homers while earning a place as the only current player to be named to the All-Century Team.
No less an authority than Hank Aaron himself predicted he would be the one to break the all-time home run record, but that was before Griffey came home to Cincinnati and seemingly began playing every season hurt. His legs have betrayed him these past five years and, as such, denied him the opportunity to make a run at Aaron that, instead, is being made by the cheater that is Barry Bonds.
In Junior's case, it is he who has been cheated, but as he was saying last night in the solitude of the Reds clubhouse before their 9-2 loss to the Mets, we should not feel sorry for him.
"I'm still having fun," he said. "Every season is fun. I know people (in Cincinnati) have been upset because they haven't been able to see me play as much and that's been frustrating for me, too, not to be able to play. But the game is still enjoyable."
And, one would think, even more enjoyable this year, with the surprising Reds in second place in the NL Central and in first place for the wild card. According to Jerry Narron, the Reds manager and onetime backup Yankee catcher to Thurman Munson, the Reds probably aren't quite sure what they are just yet, while he also acknowleded, "We can't afford any breakdowns in any area."
At the same time, Narron believes anything is possible, especially in this season of ultimate "Bud Selig parity" in the National League. "We've got a lot of guys here who never played .500 baseball," he said. "I don't think they understand how one pitch can make the difference of going home in October. But at the same time, I'd love to see these guys still be in it in September to see what it's like."
Either way, that figures to include Griffey, despite the ever-recurring trade rumors. He is owed approximately $25 million, including deferred money, on a contract that extends through next season with an option for '08. Because of that, the theory goes, the Reds would not be averse to moving him, even if they are in the thick of a pennant race. As a 10-5 man, Griffey has veto rights over any trade.
"No one has come to me and asked me about that," he said. "If they did, I'd have to consider all the circumstances. I'm not gonna hold anyone hostage. I understand the business end of baseball. If they said, 'We want to get younger here' and let me have the option to tell them where I'd want to go ... "
He didn't say where that might be, or even if that might be. But those who know him best, know how much spending quality time with his family means to him now, doubt seriously he would approve a deal to the White Sox - the team most often mentioned in trade discussions because of their need for a center fielder - since they train in Tucson. On the other hand, the Yankees, one of the few teams who could afford to pick up his contract, are only an hour away in Tampa in the spring.
"How are the Yankees doing?" Junior asked mischievously. "Is (Johnny) Damon enjoying himself over there?"
Even though he bristled at suggestions earlier this year that he no longer was a top flight center fielder and should consider moving to left or right, playing his dad's old left field position with the Yankees might hold some appeal to him if it meant attaining the one thing that has eluded him in his Hall of Fame career, the World Series. But all this is the stuff of Rotisserie pipedreams. The Yankees have had their full quota of injured outfielders this season and, desperate as they might be for another big bat, Junior's physical track record makes him too much of a risk, even for them.
So it must be assumed, he's in Cincinnati to stay. Content to grow old with this young and improved Reds team that Narron appears to have on the rise. The game is still fun for him and who's to say, come September, it might actually be more fun in Cincy than in the Bronx.

Press release from CNW Group
Petroamerica Announces Material Reserves Increase
Monday, December 17, 2012
Petroamerica Announces Material Reserves Increase07:00 EST Monday, December 17, 2012CALGARY, Dec. 17, 2012 /CNW/ - Petroamerica Oil Corp. (TSX-V: PTA) ("Petroamerica" or the "Company"), a company focused on oil exploration and production in Colombia, is pleased to announce a new evaluation of additional reserves in the Gacheta Formation, in the Las Maracas field (see table below).2011 Year-end Reserves Summary2011 Company Reserves (before royalty) MbblTotalProvedTotalProvedplusProbableTotalProvedplusProbableplusPossibleLight/Medium Oil1,7772,9234,182Heavy Oil-104259Total Company Working Interest1,7773,0274,441 Gacheta Addition, effective September 30, 2012Gacheta Addition as of September 30, 2012 (Company Share) MbblTotalProvedTotalProvedplusProbableTotalProvedplusProbableplusPossibleGacheta Remaining (Light Oil)1,3902,3553,652Gacheta Produced as of September 30, 2012 (Light Oil)767676Total Company Working Interest Addition1,4662,4313,728GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. ("GLJ"), an independent qualified reserves evaluator, had initially prepared a report (dated March 22, 2012 and effective December 31, 2011) on the 2011 year-end reserves of the Company (the "2011 Report"), prepared in compliance with National Instrument 51-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities) and in accordance with the definitions, standards and procedures of the COGE (Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation) Handbook.In the 2011 Report, for the Las Maracas Field, reserves were assigned only to the Mirador Formation. Subsequently, Petroamerica and its partners drilled the Las Maracas-3 and Las Maracas-4 wells, which have successfully proven and tested additional reserves in the Gacheta Formation, as well as further confirming the presence and areal distribution of the Mirador reserves in the Las Maracas Field.On July 30, 2012, Petroamerica announced a discovery with its Las Maracas-3 well where the Gacheta tested 30 degree API oil at a rate of 1,491 barrels of oil per day ("bopd"). For the month of November 2012, the Las Maracas-3 well produced at an average daily rate of 2,048 bopd with 1.2% water cut and has produced a total of 257,578 barrels of oil from the Gacheta since production start-up on July 25, 2012. On September 17, 2012, Petroamerica announced a successful Gacheta test in its Las Maracas-4 well, which produced oil at a rate of 1,400 bopd. Las Maracas-4 has been producing since September 9, 2012 and has a cumulative production of more than 168,643 barrels of oil, at an average rate of 1,893 bopd with 3.8% water cut for the month of November 2012.Considering the tests from the Gacheta at the Las Maracas-3 and 4 wells and additional production history, Petroamerica management sought an update to the 2011 Report for the Las Maracas Field. GLJ has prepared a COGEH compliant update for the Las Maracas Field, effective September 30, 2012 and dated December 5, 2012, which incorporates the addition of the Gacheta reservoir. This report does not include results coming from the Las Maracas-5 and Las Maracas-6 wells.The results from this update show remaining reserves as of September 30, 2012 of 4.711 million barrels gross lease, or 2.355 million barrels company working interest related to the Gacheta Formation discovery in the total proved plus probable category. The Gacheta Formation has produced 151,500 standard stock tank barrels ("STB") gross lease, or 75,750 STB working interest reserves. Therefore, the Gacheta discovery has added 2.431 million barrels of company working interest proved plus probable reserves that were not included in the 2011 Report.The Gacheta reserves addition is equal to 80% of the total proved plus probable reserves disclosed by Petroamerica effective December 31, 2011.Definitions of Reserve Categories"Proved" reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves."Probable" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of the estimated proved plus probable reserves."Possible" reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the sum of the estimated proved plus probable plus possible reserves.About Petroamerica:Petroamerica Oil Corp. is a junior oil and gas exploration and production company with activities in Colombia. Petroamerica has production coming from two oil discoveries, one discovery to be appraised and developed, and has interests in a total of seven exploration blocks, all located in Colombia's Llanos Basin. Petroamerica's shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "PTA".Forward Looking InformationThis press release contains forward-looking statements. The use of any of the words "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "should", "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Statements relating to "reserves" or "resources" are deemed to be forward looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources and reserves described can be profitably produced in the future.The forward-looking statements are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Petroamerica, including, but not limited to:oil and natural gas production levels;prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates;availability of labour and drilling equipment;timing and amount of capital expenditures;general economic and financial market conditions;governmental approvals of contracts entered into with industry partners in relation to properties and operations;government regulation in the areas of taxation, royalty rates and environmental protection;production of new and existing wells and the timing of new wells coming onstream;the performance characteristics of oil and natural gas properties;the size of oil and natural gas reserves or resources;the ability to raise capital and to continually add to reserves and resources through exploration and development;possible reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than probable reserves. There is a 10% probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the sum or exceed the sum of proved plus probable plus possible reserves; andthe success of exploration and development activities.Although Petroamerica believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements because Petroamerica can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

These include, but are not limited to:volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas;volatility in exchange rates;liabilities inherent in oil and natural gas operations;changes or fluctuations in production levels;stock market volatility and market valuation of our stock;uncertainties associated with estimating oil and natural gas reserves and resources;competition for, among other things, capital, acquisitions of reserves and resources, undeveloped lands and skilled personnel;incorrect assessments of the value of acquisitions and exploration and development programs;geological, technical, drilling, production and processing problems;changes in legislation, including changes in tax laws, royalty rates and incentive programs relating to the oil and natural gas industry; andchanges in regulation or policy positions by governments with respect to the development of oil and gas resources or foreign ownership of natural resources.Readers are cautioned that the foregoing lists of factors are not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Petroamerica does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements other than as required under applicable securities laws.The reserves estimates provided herein are estimates only.

One Great Recession benefit: a decrease in global carbon emissions.
- By Annie LowreyAnnie Lowrey is assistant editor at FP.
Today, the International Energy Agency said that global carbon emissions shrank 3 percent in 2009, due to the Great Recession. The Guardian reports that for only the fourth time in the past 50 years, the world emitted less of the greenhouse gas than it had done the year before, because of declining industrial production.
Which means, alas, that the world will likely be back to increasing emissions soon. Indeed, the IEA report notes that to avoid climate change and all the catastrophes it promises, countries don't have to shrink their economies, but do have to "[build] more than 350 new nuclear plants and 350,000 wind turbines in the next 20 years. [It] also estimates that by 2020, three-fifths of cars will need to use alternatives to the traditional internal combustion engine."
The IEA report reminded me of a fascinating study out of the London School of Economics, released last month. It found that promoting contraceptive use could be a lynchpin to combating climate change: fewer babies means fewer carbon-emitters, and fewer carbon-emitters means less climate change.
That, in turn, reminds me of this. Oh dear.

Skin cancer is a scary possible consequence of spending too much time in the sun, with the scariest and most severe form being melanoma. Melanoma is caused by changes in melanocyte cells that are responsible for producing melanin (skin and hair color), and may appear as a mole, although a previously benign mole can develop into melanoma (1). Melanomas are said to be developed through too much sun exposure, sometimes even developing later in life due to too many bad sunburns as a child.
