Gear Review
High quality and a good price.
Great design and quality. My 60m fits on the tarp no problem. The bag material is nice and thick, and the handle and shoulder strap seem very sturdy. I've pulled this bag up some nasty sandstone, dragging all the way, and it barley shows. Great price as well. All around awesome buy.

To help reveal the subtle variations among the four stations, the RFT polled each of the programmers to learn where they draw the line with their classic-rock offerings. The gestalt should provide the curious with a primer for classic-rock programming in St. Louis, if you need one. And is anyone else not the least bit upset that "Dog and Butterfly" no longer gets airplay in St. Louis? Apparently, according to one of the program directors, it "didn't test well." But "One Toke Over the Line" did? Ouch.
GIMME SOME LIP: At one point during Sunday's Third Lip Cabaret performance at Cicero's, the entire crowd was transfixed on a dozen or so red balloons. Like a group of kindergartners, the crowd was lunging and leaping to keep the balloons afloat. Occasionally a misfit with a cigarette would pop one of them, which would set off a chain reaction of like-minded aggression. Amid the frenzy, a human coyote howl would spark a chain reaction of similar howls, until the balloons and howls and popping intertwined with the shrieking of someone pinching the air out of a balloon. The scene was chaotic and blissful, the result of the Cabaret's freeform devotion to organized confusion.
The Third Lip Cabaret has been throwing variety shows around town for a few months now under the direction of Mike Marwit and Eric Hall. Their intention is, according to their press release, to expand "St. Louis' horizons by spotlighting the wealth of performing arts talent the city has to offer." Marwit, who comes from a performance-art background, started pushing his art a few years ago at warehouse space on Washington but ran into a few problems: "Performance art is hard to push," he says. "It's got a bad reputation -- it's been made up to be pretentious, ridiculous and no-talent-involved stuff, so people are weary of it. So I figured it would be a good idea to mix and match all the different talents out there that weren't getting played. I felt this way, and I figured there were some other people who felt like they had something to give and weren't getting anyplace to show it. Plus, I always wanted to push art in this city because I feel like it needs it. This city is lacking in education around art, and they don't know what they have. Everybody leaves. We have a Masada every summer. Everybody splits." Enter the Third Lip Cabaret.
Sunday's incarnation at Cicero's featured music by Tory Z. Starbuck, Panicsville, Hall and DJ Ses; performance art by Marwit (who orchestrated the balloon incident), Derrick Mosley and the Brand X Comedy Troupe. Spoken-word pieces by Lawrence Revard and Mark Dischinger (whose inspired short fiction featuring one Inspector Seven recalled the work of Harlan Ellison and David Foster Wallace).
Tory Z. Starbuck was wearing one of his choice triangular new-wave outfits that revealed as much flesh as fabric (the kind in which you could see, er, everything, but you didn't really wanna); he and his band have a vision that combines Bowie-esque art-rock with updated blustery synthetics and Starbuck's deep retro yowl (say what you will about Tory, but he sure is consistent). At times you don't know whether to be inspired or embarrassed, but I get the sense that that's the point. Panicsville guy Andy Ortmann was wearing a leather S&M mask as he did a choreographed song and dance to a Yoko Ono song -- then proceeded to fuck with his Korg for a half-hour.
The highlight, though, was Hall's synthetic compositions, which recalled the organized beats of Boards of Canada and the Aphex Twin. The music he created was at times gentle, at times a bit abrasive, but always a curious and engaging examination of computer-based beat music. He leans toward the ambient side of the music but never strays into boring soundscapes. Instead, melodies and rhythms collide and merge into one, and the result is some of the most imaginative music in the city.
The next Third Lip Cabaret performance is at Cicero's on Sunday, July 11. Mark your calendar.

Elizabethtown School officials around Essex County did their best to make the school day following the Dec. 14 mass homicide at a Connecticut elementary school as normal as possible.
"We think it's important to acknowledge what happened," Superintendent at Elizabethtown-Lewis Central School Scott Osborne said on Monday, Dec. 17.
Just days after the second most deadly school shooting in U.S. history — 20 students and six adults killed at the school — local students and faculty were coming back to their classes wondering why this tragedy happened. They were also stepping up security.
At ELCS, Osbourne said there were school psychologists available for students and faculty who were having a harder time than others. The school was also visited by two state troopers.
"They came and walked around the building and went over our entrances and exits," Osbourne said.
Westport Central School Superintendent John Gallagher said that over the weekend he was in constant contact with Principal Michelle Freidman and other superintendents.
"We all spoke before school started about how to respond to the children's questions," Gallagher said. "Our school, like Sandy Hook Elementary, participate in the same sort of safety drills. The most important thing we have tried to stress to the students is that they are safe and we are watching out for them."
The superintendents from ELCS, Keene Central School, Ausable Valley Central school, Schroon Lake and Willsboro Central School were in constant contact over the weekend to prepare for Monday's classes, Gallagher said.
At Keeseville Elementary, Kevin Hulbert said he and his staff met Monday morning and talked about an approach for the faculty to demonstrate calmness for the sake of their students and community.
AVCS principals throughout the weekend, with the help of Superintendent Paul Savage, made sure the entire district was unified and responsive.
"We all reflected on our future steps to help our local communities feel reassured about the safety of our students," Hulburt said. "In an a.m. meeting and through a memo, I made sure all staff members understood that we must try to keep everyone calm and to we must also be ready to be active listeners." We also put a plan in place to allow students to see our school counselor when needed."

Can anyone show me a simple example of a manifold such that $H_{1}(\mathcal{X})=0$ but $\mathcal{X}$ is not orientable? We know the contention hold for $\pi_{1}$, I am not sure if it holds for $H_{1}$.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Mathematics Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There are no such manifolds.
Obstruction to orientability is given by first Stiefel-Whitney class $w_1\in H^1(X;\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z)$. So if $H^1(X;\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z)=0$ manifold $X$ is always orientable.
In other words. If loop $\gamma$ is trivial as an element of $H_1$ it is always orientation-preserving.

Here are some noteworthy Gustavus-related stories that recently appeared in print or broadcast media locally, regionally, or around the nation:
- Ray Thrower (Campus Safety) was interviewed for an article appearing on Jan. 18 in Security Director News, the online newsletter for security practitioners. The article detailed Gustavus's switch to an online emergency response system, prompted in part by lessons learned from the 1998 tornado.
- The January 2011 issue of Metro Lutheran newspaper, currently available, contains a two-page interview with Darrell Jodock (religion). The article, by former editor Michael Sherer, is titled "Lutheran college professor offers insights: Christians and Jews Building Connections." It appears on pages 10-11 and includes a photo.

Suu Kyi delays debut, Burma awaits sanction move
Myanmar's parliament reopened with Aung San Suu Kyi refusing to take a seat on Monday, while the nation's president vowed "no U-turn" on reforms as the EU prepares to suspend sanctions.
Suu Kyi's party has refused to swear to "safeguard" an army-created constitution in the first sign of tension with the government since a landmark by-election this month saw the democracy icon win a parliamentary seat.
The spat comes as European Union nations are preparing to suspend most sanctions against the impoverished nation for one year to reward a series of dramatic reforms since direct army rule ended last year.
Myanmar, long-isolated under military dictatorship, has seen a rapid improvement in relations with the international community after the Nobel Peace Prize winner and her party achieved a decisive win in the April 1 polls.
Suu Kyi has shown increased confidence in the reformist government of President Thein Sein in recent weeks, calling for the EU sanctions suspension and planning her first international trip in 24 years.
Thein Sein, who is currently on a visit to Japan, on Monday vowed that he would not backtrack on the country's democratisation.
"There won't be any U-turn," Thein Sein said, according to the Mainichi Shimbun.
But he rejected the suggestion that he would alter Myanmar's parliamentary oath to accommodate Suu Kyi, telling reporters that it was up to her whether or not she took the seat.
Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) — the main opposition force after securing 43 of the 44 seats it contested in the by-elections — has appealed to the president directly over the stalemate, asking that the wording of the oath be changed from "safeguard" to "respect" the constitution.
"I don't know the circumstances of the president's remarks," NLD spokesman Nyan Win told AFP in response to reports of Thein Sein's comments. "We haven't got any formal reply yet."
The NLD, which boycotted a controversial 2010 election, agreed to rejoin the political mainstream last year after authorities changed a similar phrase in party registration laws.
Suu Kyi has said one of her priorities as a politician is to push for an amendment of the 2008 constitution, under which one quarter of the seats in parliament are reserved for unelected military officials.
A session of the lower house, which was supposed to see Suu Kyi make her debut as a politician, began without the former political prisoner and 36 other members of her party on Monday, according to an AFP photographer. MPs from other parties took the oath in a session of the upper house earlier in the day.
Myanmar analyst Aung Thu Nyein, of the Vahu Development Institute, said the NLD had "made the wrong move" in making a stand over the oath.
"I think the NLD should participate in the parliament and then they should propose comprehensive political and economic reform strategies," he said, adding that the wording appears in the constitution itself and the president is therefore unable to change it.
Myanmar's new regime has freed hundreds of political prisoners and signed tentative peace deals with a number of rebel groups as part of its reform programme, although fighting continues in the far north.
The international community has begun easing sanctions as it looks to balance fears over the sustainability of the changes and a desire to bolster regime reformers who may face pressure from those wary of change.
EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg are set to approve the suspension of sanctions against almost 500 individuals and more than 800 firms in a move that could open up the resource-rich Southeast Asian nation to European firms.
The bloc also has an asset freeze and travel ban against nearly 500 individuals, but it lifted visa bans on 87 top Myanmar officials, including President Thein Sein in February. -By Soe Than Win
