Soooo I was on a 3 day backpacking trip in the Humboldt area.....I SAW BIGFOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really I did. Scared the crap outta me!What strange things have YOU seen??
You were up here and didn't call me. I could have introduced you. Where was your sighting? Up by the Klamath?
actually I was kidding Ken...I was being whimsical and just came up with Humboldt. HOWEVER, if I was there I definitely would have called ya! Always open to great hiking partners
My son and i saw a UFO whilst out camping one night.A bright light was crossing the sky and at first we thought it was maybe a satellite, or the international space station.I think it was going too fast for that though. It came from the 3 o'clock, and suddenly shot off at speed to 12 o'clock and vanished. No aircraft that i know of can do a high speed 90' turn without any banking in the turn.
Don't tease me like that :)
The Closest I have come to seeing a big foot. I was backpacking to the top of Mt. San Jacinto I spotted a 7 foot tall Dirty Giant Tweaker Dude running around the wilderness with no backpack and looked like he been out there for years. Then I was being stalked by the the DGTD so I had to get off trail run and evade and hide from DGTD on my way to little round valley.Terry
I ran across a tall gentleman hiking naked on the Beamer Trail in the Grand Canyon recently. He WAS rather hairy. But he was from Oregon.
"Don't tease me like that :)"haha sorry....I am chuckling though!
To a bald, little guy, durn near everyone is a big foot. :=(
What's the best "bear-bigfoot" food hanging solution?Seems a bear keg/can would not work, he/she would just tuck it under arm & head out.Speaking of kegs & cans . . . . wonder what the selected brew would be?- Anderson Valley Brewing Company- North Coast Brewing Company- Mendocino Brewery- Ukiah Brewing Company- Eel River Brewing Company- Lost Coast Brewery- Mad River Brewing Company- Six Rivers Brewery- Redwood Curtain Brewery
Michael posted: "What's the best "bear-bigfoot" food hanging solution?Seems a bear keg/can would not work, he/she would just tuck it under arm & head out."Then he will find a quarter or knife on the trail to open the heavy Garcia bear can. Or if it a Bear Vault can from hell it's really just a giant poly carbonate child and adult proof pill bottle. He will never get it open in less he wedges it between two rocks and crushes it with boulder to open it. I was almost tempt to the same thing on a cold easter sierra morning. {I really really really hate bear cans.}Terry
Terry, this kid a good idea on opening the BV500 - http://youtu.be/QyEbLfL_lSU
I did that! I got a better idea do Bear Vault opening clinic's with the friendly Big Foots on how to open a Bear Vault with their big hands in exchange for a Pro Bar food bar and friendship. All we would have to do is secret whistle when we needed are Bear Vault opened. Plus becoming friends with the Big Foot we could learn quite a bit about their their local woods and their history because they were here before anyone. If Steve Austin could become friends with the Big Foot why not us ?TerryPs:I also will sell you the London Bridge in Lake Havasu,Arizona for $ 100,000.00 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_(Lake_Havasu_City)
About 10 years ago my wife and came upon a large strong wild looking guy next to the trail about 10 miles into the Pasayten Wilderness in Washington state. He had a half dozen suitcases with him. At least one of them was about half the size of a steamer trunk. He had a gallon size can of pipe tobacco with him, said he was out and asked if we had any. How did he get there with several hundred pounds of clean looking luggage? Did we stumble upon a drug transport operation of some kind? Was he a criminal or just crazy? Did he pack all of this in, piece by piece, a hundred yards at a time? We'll never know.We were tired before running into him. When we left him we had renewed energy and kept up a brisk pace until we were well up the trail.Another time we came upon 3 heavily armed men on heavily loaded horses crossing from Canada into the Pasayten Wilderness. Said they had been fishing. No obvious fishing poles, no mud on polished boots. Again, very brisk walking after leaving this group.The hardest part, for me, with both of these encounters was to stop my wife from asking questions. She's very curious. "Where are you going? What have you been doing? What lakes did you fish in? Where are you from? Do you plan on killing me and raping my husband?" etc.
Not really strange, but I found a popped balloon snagged on some brush 7 miles in the Cache Creek Natural Area. I wonder where it floated from... all the way from Japan or something?
With a size 15 ( I think) doesn't Ken T. qualify as a Big Foot?
Just north of Forester at the Center Basin Jct. a family was dismantling a commercial balloon so that they could hike it out. This balloon was huge.... definitely strange

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
The environmental aftermath of a tragic truck accident in Willow Creek Canyon last month seems likely to cost more than $1 million, according to Jason Llewelyn, the county's emergency services and homeland security director.
Llewelyn told county commissioners last Wednesday that that the cost of remediating the damage from spilled crude oil had already been tallied at $995,995. He later said the cost is likely to go higher when other expenses are factored in.
The spill occurred Sept. 15 when a tandem oil tank truck left the road, plunged over the steep cliff of the creek and exploded in flame. The driver was killed in the wreck and the cargo poured into the creek.
Inflatable booms were spread along the stream to halt the flow of crude and a crew from EnviroCare of Salt Lake had arrived on scene before midnight.
The effort was augmented by teams brought in from Louisiana and Georgia, Lllewelyn said in an interview Thursday. "These are people who have had experience with the Gulf spill," he noted.
The crew size has varied between 25 and 50 members.
Steep, rocky terrain and bad weather have complicated the work. The goo has infiltrated crevices between the rocks and coated streamside plants. That has necessitated a lot of cleaning by hand.
Llewelyn estimated that some 60,000 pounds of sludge had been removed. Once the stream is cleaned to standards, another year of monitoring is mandatory.
Foreland Refining, the truck owner, is responsible for the cost. Llewelyn said the company has been cooperative and supportive of the effort.

20 Colorful Entryways
A little shine – and a few twists on tradition – inject a lot of style in this kitchen in Rye, New York, designed by Louise Brooks. "The house is a traditional center-hall Colonial, and the kitchen comes as a surprise," she says. "It gives the house a lot of panache."
Salvaged wood, raw steel, and glazed brick give Dan Doyle's St. Helena, California, kitchen a sturdy, industrial look. "I reengineered the roof of the house to take it up from 8 to 13 feet at the peak, and also took down a wall between the kitchen and the living room," he says. "Those old beams are just decorative, to add some interest to the ceiling."

DHEA Treatment for Sjogren's Syndrome
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the male hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in treating Sjogren's syndrome. This autoimmune disorder, in which the immune system attacks the salivary glands and tear glands, affects primarily women. Patients' eyes and mouth become drier over time, and can lead to problems such as serious tooth decay and eye irritations. Sex hormones seem to influence the immune response and may help decrease disease severity. DHEA has benefited some patients with two other autoimmune diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Women 18 to 75 years of age with Sjogren's syndrome may be eligible for this 7-month study. At the initial visit, candidates will have a physical examination, routine blood and urine tests and eye and dental examinations, including a test to measure saliva production for screening purposes and to establish baseline values for participants.
Those enrolled in the study will be randomly assigned to take either DHEA or placebo (look-alike tablet with no active ingredient) once a day for 6 months and will be monitored with follow-up visits at months 1, 3, 6 and 7. Physical examination, blood tests and urinalysis will be repeated at months 1, 3, 6 and 7; saliva will be collected at months 3, 6 and 7; and eyes will be examined at 3 and 6 months. Because hormone changes may have both physical and emotional effects, patients will be asked questions about their mood, symptoms and side effects of treatment.
It is not known if Sjogren's syndrome is associated with osteoporosis (bone thinning), but since this condition occurs in other autoimmune disorders, patient's bone density will be measured at the first visit, and blood drawn at 3 and 6 months will be tested for various substances associated with changes in bone density. A 24-hour urine collection at the first visit and later urine tests will also be tested for substances associated with bone thinning.

Primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease chiefly affecting the exocrine glands. One of the most troublesome manifestations of SS is severe salivary gland dysfunction. There is no accepted treatment for the underlying autoimmune reactivity or the salivary gland dysfunction in SS. SS, as well as many other autoimmune diseases, predominantly affects women. Although sex hormones do not cause SS or other autoimmune disease, they appear to influence immunological responses and ultimately the severity of disease. We propose to test the effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a mildly androgenic adrenal hormone, on lacrimal and salivary gland function in SS. In a randomized, double-masked, outpatient protocol, patients will receive DHEA for 6 months. Efficacy of treatment will be assessed by monitoring salivary and lacrimal function, serological markers of autoimmune activity, and subjective reports of local and systemic symptoms.

The 2013 National Flute Association Competition Repertoire List is now available! CLICK HERE
Megido Music Publications
Flute World owns Megido Music Publications which is known for its serious Flute Orchestra repertoire. As a part of the National Flute Association, schools can benefit from Megido Music Publications. There are many ways in which you can benefit from this large selection.
Texture through Voices
Musical textures are also sometimes described as being the ways in which the various voices are combined to create a harmony. A string quartet, for instance, has a particular texture to its sound that is derived from the way the various instruments combine and contrast. This also applies to the way that the various voices are combined in vocal ensembles and any other ensemble performance. A woodwind quartet, for instance, may have a very smooth and light texture, while a brass band would have a forceful, brassy texture.
Expression, Dynamics, Style, Tempo and Phrasing
Expression is not just an important part of music, it's oftentimes the entire point of performing or composing piece. The expressiveness of the musicians in an orchestra, the members of a band or any other group of performers does depend on them having a general structure from which to work. Improvisation is an important element in jazz, rock, blues and many other forms of music, but expression can also be defined and communicated to musicians in ensembles by describing the elements of music that are most conducive to expression.
Listen to your song in performance. Remember that, as Stravinsky said, art is never really finished, it's just abandoned at some point. That being said, hearing your song for the first time doesn't mean that you're done with it. You have to do some critical listening and, if you can, lean on friends or your teachers to give you feedback.
Listen to see if the song really matches with the genre. In some cases, you may hear mistakes that you didn't know were there. In other cases, you may notice that mistakes you were aware of sound great. Keep an open mind and try to listen to the song as if you've never heard it before. Concentrating on your mistakes will not help you refine the song; it will discourage you.
Mozart, according to legend, wrote in pen and never scratched off one note on his manuscripts. In short, the man never made a mistake when composing. Hardly anyone is like that, however, and most artists do a lot of refining.
After you've listened to your piece, concentrate on what you might want to change or leave the same about it. You may want to further develop some themes and you may want to completely abandon others. You may want to transpose the entire melody to a more accessible or agreeable key or you may want to entirely restructure the rhythmic elements of the song. Your song should be thought of as being made out of wet clay, not out of stone. You can refine it as much as you want and, as is the case with all writing, a good portion of writing music is actually rewriting music.
No matter where you are, great music comes in all shapes and sizes. However, for Haynes piccolo or Haynes flute accessories in Michigan, West Bloomfield, or Farmington, look to www.fluteworld.com.
Musicology and Culture
Musicology was once a comparative pursuit. Western musicologists used to essentially compare the music of other cultures to their own and, quite often, tried to portray one as advanced and one as primitive. This has changed over the years and musicologists now travel the world collecting samples of the unique musical expressions of the world's peoples. You can learn a lot about music by listening to it as performed by other cultures.
Understanding Ear Fatigue
While you're listening to music from other cultures, you'll experience your own cultural predispositions as you've likely never experienced them before. One of the most common manifestations of this is called ear fatigue.
A great deal of the music you'll hear from other cultures will seem out of key to you, if you're accustomed to Western music. It's important to give yourself a break now and then. If you find yourself not taking in the music because the contrasts with what you're accustomed to are becoming all that you can hear, take a break. World music deserves to be appreciated and, like cuisines from other cultures, it's sometimes an acquired taste. The old adage "the appetite comes with eating" sometimes applies in this regard. As you hear more and more exotic music, you will develop a feel and an appreciation for its unique qualities.
Time and Distance are the Same
Musicology doesn't just address the differences in music relative to culture. It also addresses differences in music relative to time. For example, madrigals, Gregorian chants, fugues and many other forms are all European in their origins, but are vastly different due to the separations in time that exist between them.
Studying historic forms of music is another way to explore the music of different cultures. The cultures that produced the grand symphonies of Mozart and the elegant waltzes of Strauss were very different ones than exist today, and deserve to be explored and understood based on their own merits.
Analyzing without Bias:
When you compose a piece of music, much of the work is dedicated toward providing the right balance between comparison and contrast. The same holds true when you're listening to music from other cultures or time periods. Start by comparing it with what you do know. You'll use the same skills you've used to develop your skills as a musician thus far. Ask some basic questions about the music as you listen.
Remember that listening to music and enjoying music can be two separate things. While you're exploring the music of any given culture, remember to listen to it from an objective standpoint. In some cases, you may not enjoy some music from other cultures that much. This is fine, but you should still be able to listen to and speak about it intelligently and in terms that go beyond your opinion of it. This is called appreciation and it's a fundamental component of any serious musical study.
In order to appreciate music, you must study it. If you need sales, repairs, flutes, piccolos, recorders, new instruments, or used instruments, you can easily find a solution to your needs.
Growing as a Musician
For the best flute professionals since 1983, turn to www.fluteworld.com.
Flute World is a member of the National Flute Association and has been exhibiting in many regional conventions each year, all over the United States. In order to truly showcase your skills you can benefit greatly from shows around the world, whether you are performing in them or watching them.
Growing as a Musician
Developing the skills it takes to be a rounded musician can take years. It's important, however, to realize that practice is what makes it happen. Practice is what leads to great shows. It generally takes most human beings about 10 years to reach the skill level of a master in any subject. Music is one of the most challenging pursuits imaginable, but also one of the most satisfying. To reach your own personal best at music, you'll have to start by expanding beyond your current horizon and by embracing some challenges.
Reading Music
Reading music is a skill and it's one of the most important ones that performing artists have. That being said, not all musicians—even in classical settings—are expected to read off of music. If you're a blues guitarist, for example, it would probably look a bit strange to your audience if you were reading a song off of sheet music, especially considering the fact that the relative simplicity of the music doesn't necessitate that it be read off of sheets.
When you're reading sheet music, you'll want to work the way a politician giving a speech works: you read ahead of where you actually are in the music. As you may suspect, this takes some considerable skill. A combination of being familiar with the piece and with being able to sight read music is what makes very experienced musicians able to read very complex music without missing a beat.
Singing and Sight Reading:
Some people are very intimidated by singing. This is natural: hearing your singing voice is sometimes quite a shock and there's some embarrassment when you hit a note wrong, especially when it comes out comically wrong. However, the vast majority of professional musicians can correctly sing the notes within a comfortable octave for their voice and there's a good reason for this: When you can reproduce those tones on demand, you can hear sheet music in your head as you read it and, thus, you can reproduce it correctly, every time.
If you are teaching flute lessons, or in need of flute accessories or flute books, you should look to professionals you can provide you with the best quality, top brands like Powell, Haynes, Altus, Pearl, Yamaha, Azumi, Burkart, Sonare, Gemeinhardt no matter if you are located in North America, Australia, Europe, Israel, Mexico, South America, or New Zealand.
Music Stress, Melody and Harmony
Flute World sets standards in the industry and serves thousands of customers world-wide. The professionals at flute world can help you better understand concepts such as stress, melody, and pitch.
Stress gives music its rhythmic feel. There are plenty of slang terms used to describe the feel of music, but the experience is generally very hard to describe and very easy to understand. A 3/4 waltz from the Baroque era, for instance, will have a hard first beat and two less-emphasized beats in every measure. A piece of modern dance music, particularly electronic dance music, will usually have 4 beats in every measure and, most often, those beats will have the same stress, which lends to the music a stomping, driving feel.
In traditional usages, the first beat of a measure is stressed. In 2/4 time, for instance, the traditional method of playing the beat would be strong, weak/strong, weak.
In three quarters time, the beat would traditionally be strong, weak, weak/strong, weak, weak. Syncopation refers to obscuring the beat by emphasizing notes that are normally stressed less. Some music, such as gospel, creates a very energetic feel by emphasizing the second and fourth notes in a 4/4 measure rather than by emphasizing the first and third notes.
Melody and harmony are staple elements of Western music. A series of pitches that are arranged in a deliberate way to get a specific effect is called a melody. There are rules to melody and mathematical notation is used to varying degrees to describe it in more coherent terms when the language of aesthetics is insufficient to quantify a melody. Melodies, like sentences, have coherent structures, use modifiers to clarify statements, reiterate important themes and, on the whole, constitute a form of language that can express what words sometimes cannot.
Understanding Pitch
Pitch is the quality of sound that is described as being high or low. The pitch of any given note can be understood in both scientific terms and in subjective terms. The various notes of the scale are called degrees and are separated by whole or half-step intervals, which refers to the amount of change in pitch between one and the next. The pitch of a tone can also be described as its resonating frequency. The standard, concert A4 pitch, for example, is officially defined in most places as being exactly 440Hz.
Pitches are also relative, however. In practice, following a very low tone with a very high tone has the effect of making both sound more extreme. Most melodies stay within an octave or two and most of them try to avoid jarring shifts in pitch. When there are significant changes in pitch, the jarring nature of it is usually offset by the creative use of rhythmic devices. In some cases, pitch and rhythm can be used quite creatively. Cartoons, for instance, oftentimes use ascending pitches and the appropriate rhythms to create a soundscape for a character ascending stairs.
With www.fluteworld.com you can enjoy the largest variety of flutes and piccolos for students and professionals alike.

Aren't these the guys who jumpstarted the small batch bourbon craze when they figured out that they could take regular old Jim Beam out of the still and just age it/bottle it/label it differently as Baker's, Basil Hayden's, Booker's or Knob Creek? I don't understand why they aren't doing this with Old Overholt.
Neither do I. When I was working on my rye story, I asked Beam representatives that question; while refusing to show their hand on any future plans (or much of anything, for that matter), their response to the point about high-end ryes was, essentially, people should drink Basil Hayden bourbon (which has a high percentage of rye in its mashbill). About a year and a half ago, I was told much the same thing while chatting with Fred Noe, the brand ambassador for Beam's small-batch selection, though he also showed distinct surprise at the number of requests he was getting for a premium rye (I was something like the fourth person that day who had asked him about it).
(And as an aside, in that conversation Noe told me that the small-batch bourbons have different mashbills from the regular Beam and from each other, and that they weren't simply aged and bottled differently. Just saying, that's what I was told.)

Schwalbe Durano tyre £32.99
Grippy, durable and fairly light, a very good all-round performance training tyre
Weight 235g Contact www.fisheroutdoor.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
Schwalbe's Durano is 'for mile eaters': a training specific tyre. As a dual compound, folding tyre and at 235g, it is slightly more than this, a true utility tyre but how does it fare?
The first thing you probably want to know about a training tyre is what its puncture protection is like. Included is Schwalbe's premium level protection: RaceGuard, a synthesis of rubber and nylon moulded into the standard rubber. Schwalbe say this adds very little to weight and rolling resistance.
At 235g you can't dispute the first point and I found the tyre to zip along nicely; still remaining supple unlike some heavily reinforced tyres.
Puncture protection is hard to test but just riding, but I rode these tyres for a few thousand kilometres and didn't suffer any punctures. Luck plays its part, and perhaps Schwalbe went around sweeping the roads of Bath before the review but as tests go, it is a glowing result.
Dual compound rubber is normally found only on race tyres but it allows for a better combination of rolling resistance and grip. For grip, you want sticky rubber, but grippy rubber doesn't roll as well, and wears out quickly.
A dual compound aims to give the best of all worlds, by combining grippy rubber at the sides for cornering with a faster rolling compound in the centre. With lightly treaded sidewalls, the resulting tyre handles well in the wet (plenty of opportunity for that in the last month!) but isn't a labour to keep moving.
In fact, handling on this tyre is a strong point. It feels more like a premium race tyre than other training rubber I have used. The bite is good and I could confidently throw the bike into corners – even in the wet – without the backend fish-tailing about.
Longevity looks promising. The tyre still looks to have plenty of wear left after 2,000km; the top hasn't flattened off too much and sidewalls look healthy.
The Schwalbe Durano is available in a range of colours of questionable taste (we had the standard black), in folding or wired bead and plenty of wheel size and widths. It is clearly intended as a 'one-stop' tyre option.
The folding 23mm wide version is a good option for those who don't want to spend ages researching different tyres or having to change tyres the night before an event in pursuit of better characteristics. You can stick these on your bike year round and they should keep you happy.
The £32.99 rrp is about right – comparable with a Continental GatorSkin – and the dual compound of the Durano is one better.
Grippy, durable and fairly light, a very good all-round performance training tyre.
road.cc test report
Make and model: Schwalbe Durano tyre
Size tested: 700x23C
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
"For mile eaters. Durano is the right choice for high mileage purposes, because no other racing tire lasts longer. At the same time the Dual Compound offers great grip for training on wet winter roads. It has the proven RaceGuard protection belt. Folding tire. 235 g."
I'd say they've hit the mark there: basically a long lasting racing tire.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Dual compound rubber, 235g, folding bead, plenty of wheel sizes and widths, RaceGuard puncture protection which appears to work.
Taking it out of the bike and fitting it, it has a feeling of premium rubber. I didn't suffer any nicks or bead coming through either.
Strikes the balance of training tire and racer well. Good wet weather riding too.
After 2,000km still has life in it. Sidewalls in particular look healthy.
A Continental Gatorskin is around 220g so 30g less over a pair of tires; could do better.
A pleasure to ride and certainly doesn't test the nerves.
£32.99rrp is a few pounds more than similar offerings but this is a slightly racier tire.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Performs well: zero punctures but you don't pay the price in ride quality.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Zero punctures throughout the test!
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Can't think of much really. I personally would dislike lime-green, cream and chocolate brown colours on my bike but the option is there. Each to their own!
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes
Would you consider buying the product? Yes
Would you recommend the product to a friend? Yes
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
A solid contendor for a true all-round road bike tire.
About the tester
Age: 23
I usually ride: Orbea Onix (Carbon) - Summer, Orbea Asphalt (Alu) - Winter My best bike is: Orbea Alma G10
I've been riding for: Under 5 years I ride: Every day I would class myself as: Semi pro
I regularly do the following types of riding: road racing, time trialling, cyclo cross, club rides, mtb,
Much, MUCH better than Gatorskin. Much more supple, lighter and I'd even say that it's more pucture resistant (or it's just my good luck with them and/or bad luck with Conti). Great choice for commuting or training - the only other tyre that could compare to this one (or even be superior to Durano) is the amazing Krylion Carbon.

My favourite tyre! Much preferred to any Continentals.
I ride the 25mm version which makes it comfortable as well, essential on audaxes. Never had a puncture despite doing the End2End (1020+miles) AND the front tyre still had the central mold line on it at the finish!
That was back in 2010 and I'm still riding the same set today on my Winter/Hack bike. Stunning value.
Word of warning - do not confuse with the Durano PLUS which has an extra layer of puncture resistance which I am told ruins the feel of the tyre.
Gravity - it won't let you down.

This is slightly off-topic but I ride the Durano Plus (see comment by Simon above) year-round, mainly because I tend to ride quite a lot on rough stony tracks that would rip normal road tyres to shreds. I am not a very sophisticated rider but I have high confidence in the wet-weather grip of the 'Plus' on normal roads.
It is probably accurate to describe the Plus as bomb-proof despite the fact I have had two punctures in the rear tyre during the last six months - as a result of the abuse they suffer the tyre surfaces now sport a multitude of small cuts and on both occasions these have trapped a shard of flint that eventually penetrated the protective layer. The tyres themselves are about nine months old and have covered over a thousand miles with little sign of wear apart from the aforementioned cuts.
When these eventually wear out I will try a pair of the 'ordinary' Duranos for comparison. Maybe it will be a revalation!

Love these tyres - been commuting for around 800 miles on the current pair and other than a few nicks from the plentiful broken glass on the paths I use these have been brilliant.

I must have been unlucky with the Durano! I got 3 punctures within a month or so, and I'm only commuting in Melbourne so the roads/paths aren't that bad. I've since put the Durano Plus on the back and the normal Durano on the front. I can tell that it's a bit heavier but if I don't get any flats who cares. Other than the punctures they are a great grippy tyre.

The Durano Pluses aren't that bad. The rubber-foam layer makes them feel a bit dead compared to high-quality clinchers like Vittoria Paves, but they're vastly more reassuring in the wet than Gatorskins and don't puncture easily even on my commute past the top of Brick Lane (a sea of glass shards every Monday).

Surely the vetran based puncture protection is Schwalbe's "premium"? I think RaceGuard is for giving good protection without affecting the ride too much.
two wheels good; four wheels bad

LAT: Brand Agrees to Contract with Philadelphia
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 07/08/08, 06:01pm:
Elton Brand has reached a verbal agreement to sign a multiyear contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to an NBA source who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak on player movements.
The deal is believed to be in the $80-million range and expected to span five years.
Brand opted out of the final season of his Clippers contract last week to become a free agent. He was due $16.4 million had he stayed in the contract.
The deal cannot be finalized until the league's moratorium period ends at midnight EDT on Tuesday.
The 76ers were the latest team to join the bidding frenzy for Brand, joining the Clippers and Golden State Warriors, who have already made five-year offers for Brand, according to the sources.
The 76ers cleared salary cap space Tuesday when they traded forwards Rodney Carney and Calvin Booth and a future No. 1 pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a deal that has yet to be officially announced but was first reported by Yahoo.com.
Brand has not been reached for comment since he opted out of the final season of his Clippers contract last week. He flew to Washington, D.C., to meet with Falk last week and had a medical checkup with Dr. Craig Morgan in Wilmington, Del., the sources said.
Brand missed all but eight games last season with the Clippers because of a ruptured Achilles tendon.
"If somebody asked me whether he'd be healthy or had any ongoing fears, I would say no," it's not a problem, Morgan said Tuesday.
When Brand opted out of the final year of his Clippers' contract, he said Philadelphia would be one of the desirable alternatives. The move would put him back on the East Coast, where he grew up and went to college, with a team that has a strong nucleus of young players.
The Clippers' verbal contract agreement with free-agent point guard Baron Davis is not expected to be altered by Brand's decision, according to the sources.
The Clippers initially offered Brand, 29, a five-year, $70-million contract, which was expected to be the highest they could go while still signing Davis, according to NBA sources who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak about player movements.
The Clippers then boosted their offer to Brand to five years and $80 million by renouncing the rights to other players, but it wasn't enough to re-sign him. The Warriors had tendered Brand a five-year, $90-million offer.
It's worth noting that, if the Times' report is accurate, both Philadelphia and the Clippers offered Brand identical deals of five years/$80M. Brand will join a lineup that includes Andre Miller, Andre Iguodala, Thad Young, and Samuel Dalembert.
Elton Brand's departure is a visceral kick in the stomach to a fan base that found, in Brand, the only true icon in franchise history. More immediately, it places the Clippers behind only Golden State and Memphis in the Cap Space Sweepstakes. The organization must quickly decide if it wants to pursue Corey Maggette, which would be a wrongheaded act of desperation, woo Josh Smith -- an intriguing, more youthful alternative at the PF, or stand pat for the 2009 free agent class.
UPDATE: Stein has Maggette going to Oakland, and the Clips "making a hard run at Atlanta Hawks restricted free agent Josh Smith." Stein also has the competing five-year contract offers for Elton at Philly $82M, Clippers $75M.

Sure a global, civilization-ending apocalypse has wiped out the world as we know it, but maybe things aren't so bad after all. That's the idea director Joe Guglielmino sought to explore in his latest surf documentary, Year Zero. Guglielmino runs the entertainment division for Globe International, a surf and skate gear and apparel maker.
"If anyone is going to survive an apocalypse with smiles on their faces, it would probably be surfers, because as long as everyone is safe and they can find a wave, they are pretty happy," says Guglielmino, who was inspired by the conceptual surf films made by George Greenough and Jack McCoy in the 1970s and 1980s.
Though categorized as documentaries, conceptual surf films like Year Zero are experimental in nature and almost music video-like. "Surfing itself and communing with nature is a psychedelic experience in that it is transformative," he explains. "The goal is to try to get the viewer as close to that experience as possible by using high frame rates to slow down time and music to really drive that home, honing in on little moments."
A big part of his aesthetic, and by extension the Globe brand aesthetic, is the use of KODAK Super 16mm Film to capture the visuals. "I've always had an incredible affinity for film — the tactile nature of it; loading mags with your hands; its durability and ruggedness; the incredible latitude and versatility of the Kodak stocks; and of course, the look," he notes. "It has an incredible quality that is still unsurpassed, in my opinion."
As far as a cost comparison, he says shooting and processing film versus renting and shooting high-end high definition was practically a wash. The crew also needed minimal gear to get through customs as efficiently as possible, and oftentimes they have to swim to beaches with their gear in watertight Pelican cases.
"Our production schedule is very different than traditional films, in that we are completely location based and also completely at the whim of Mother Nature," he explains. "We have to chase swells to the far corners of the globe and often find ourselves waiting for weeks once we get there for everything to line up just right so we can get what we need. When we tested and priced everything out based on length of rentals, durability, etc., and compared Super 16mm against the best digital cameras and workflows, we decided that shooting film was the best option for us."
Starring Globe-sponsored riders who are well known in the surf community, Year Zero was shot in Western Australia, Indonesia, Mexico, Southwest France, the north coast of Spain and Costa Rica. Exact locations are never identified because when it comes to discovered waves, surfers are a protective bunch.
Their gear consisted of tripods, a couple ARRI SR-2 High Speeds and two 35mm CANON 15-600mm zooms modified for Super 16 (one by Optex, one by Century Precision Optics), which doubles the focal length. Cameras were loaded with KODAK VISION2 50D Color Negative Film 7201 and KODAK VISION3 250D Color Negative Film 7207. After the 12-month shoot, around 40,000 feet of film had been shot.
Guglielmino's longtime director of photography, Scott Soens, actually taught him how to shoot because they realized two angles on the same action were better for editing.
"Normally, I manned the longer lens," says Soens, "and then Joe would be just a little bit wider and at more of a straight-on angle, which was free of obstructions in front of the lens in order to get the clip that makes the trick. I would experiment with foreground, ramping speeds, rack focusing, extreme angles and we can cut back and forth between the two angles. I usually speed ramp after the surfer drops in, right when he starts his session and then return to normal speed after he's finished."
Adds Guglielmino, "With long focal lengths, we try to build the frame so that you're not just seeing a guy and ocean. We want a background, a foreground and to have the athlete performing between the two and then maximize the amount of action happening in the frame."
"I love working with film because you don't have to do much to it to make it look beautiful."
The filmmakers tried for locations that lent themselves to a post-apocalyptic landscape. "For instance," cites the director, "along the southwest coast of France we shot where there were World War II bunkers jutting out from the sand, using those in the foreground to look like ruins backed by these incredible waves."
The third integral member of this tight crew is water cinematographer Rick Jakovich, who's out in the waves with a MILIKEN DBM 55 Super 16mm camera in a waterproof housing. "Some of the most stunning shots in the film are done by Rick," Guglielmino says. Jakovich was usually on a 10mm lens to capture intense shots when the wave barrels, and also used a spring-wound Bolex with a longer lens to focus in on surfing intricacies.
Citing a ratio of one cloudy day for every three sunny days, Soens shoots clean at a stop of T16 without any special processing, though a roll here or there may be pushed when needed. A 72-degree shutter helps with clarity on high-speed shots. While the SR-2 cameras go up to 150 fps, the MILIKEN is twice as fast.
A familiarity with the surfers helps them know what to expect. "We know what the surfers are like, what their body positions are and can pick the best angles for each surfer," says Soens. "That's important to make a trick look much better."
Soens usually counts on spending four to six hours a day shooting. The surfers perform in rotating groups so they are able to take breaks. The cameramen don't have that luxury. "I definitely have pulled nine-hour days on the beach — just by myself," Soens says with a laugh. "Everyone on board knows that this is a production, and needs to be out there performing as best as they can. The riders are athletes, and they really put their time in out there."
After each location shoot, Rushes in Hollywood did 1080p transfers supervised by telecine colorist Gino Panero. Guglielmino and another core member of the team, editor George Manzanilla, would then make their shot selects. Working in ProRes 422 HQ at full resolution in Final Cut Pro, Manzanilla would edit the film, create the looks and composite, built upon a score of songs from retro rock band Black Mountain. Final output was in ProRes 422 HQ to a BLU-RAY disc master.
"I love working with film because you don't have to do much to it to make it look beautiful," Manzanilla says. "The scene would dictate if we should add a layer of Super 16. Sometimes a beautiful bright sunset shot would look awesome on top of a shot of a girl putting her hands up to the sky. Most of the compositing was pretty simple transfer modes. We're just overlaying visual elements on top of other visual elements, using three or four layers in a shot at most."
Though film has the grain aesthetic the filmmakers like, some footage was grunged up further with overlays of film grains, dust and inverted white film leader.
Apocalyptic cut scenes throughout the film tie the surfing locations together. Shot in the deserts of Southern California, these feature people cavorting around decaying castoffs, bonfires and Mad Max-like muscle cars. Most was shot with a ZEISS 11-110mm zoom, but the filmmakers went longer on the car scenes. "The cars racing through the desert were shot long lens — at 24 frames per second at 600mm you get a little camera shake that adds intensity to the driving scenes," notes Guglielmino.
Even Manzanilla got into the act by shooting cut-scene footage on Super 8mm with a BEAULIEU 4008 converted to a 16:9 aspect ratio by Pro8mm in Burbank. He shot the same 50D and 250D Films cut down for Super 8, and Pro8mm processed and transferred the footage.
"I grew up shooting Super 8 film and stealing my dad's cameras to do it," he points out. "It's fun to be able to use it professionally, and it was easy to integrate into this grainy, grungy, post-apocalyptic scenario."
After 18 months of shooting and post production, the filmmakers created a visually and sonically mesmerizing film.
"So many people watch the film and keep saying how beautiful it is or how amazing the shots look and they can't quite figure out why they love it so much. I tell them what they are responding so strongly to is the magic of film. And we shot it all on cameras that are way older than we are!"

By Gianmarco Segato, Adult Programs Manager
When superstar soprano Sondra Radvanovsky finished singing Aida's great act III aria "O patria mia" in her 2010 COC and role debut, the audience response was unprecedented. Toronto had just experienced one of the most emotionally frank, technically superb, thrilling pieces of singing. The post-performance excitement in the lobby was palpable – her just-released CD of Verdi arias was selling out at the Opera Shop and patrons were simply abuzz with excitement, demanding to know when they would hear her again. They're currently getting that chance with Radvanovsky's rapturously-received return to the COC stage this spring as the "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth I (Elisabetta) in Roberto Devereux which, like Aida in 2010, represents another role debut.
Until recently, Radvanovsky's repertoire was built on
early- and middle-period Verdi heroines such as Elena in
I vespri siciliani and Leonora in Il trovatore. It is only more
recently that she has begun to explore earlier Italian 19th-century
roles like Norma, Anna Bolena, Maria Stuarda and
now, Elisabetta in Roberto Devereux. Convention dictates
that big-voiced singers like Radvanovsky "graduate"
forward, taking on even greater decibel-demanding, thickly
orchestrated, post-Verdi roles like Puccini's Turandot,
Madama Butterfly and Minnie in The Girl of the Golden
West. While Puccini's Tosca is one of her staple, star turns,
Radvanovsky has, somewhat unexpectedly, headed in
the opposite direction, towards the earlier 19th-century
heroines of Donizetti. In this corner of the repertoire,
size of voice is not all that matters; instead, flexibility to
sing demanding coloratura (highly ornamental music
where several notes are sung on each syllable of the text);
sustained vocal lines sung perfectly smoothly; and, an
ability to colour the meaning of the text take precedence.
The soprano's account of the path that led her to bel canto
is fascinating and revealing. "I am not one to lie about my
past. As a child I was intubated; I had pneumonia and my
doctor feels that the tube nicked one of my vocal chords
which resulted in the polyp I had all of my singing life. In
2002 I had it removed and had to learn how to sing all over
again. It opened up a new world for me, a world I never
thought or imagined musically I would be singing. That
really started with [the 2008 Washington National Opera
production of] Lucrezia Borgia but it was also my voice coach, Tony Manoli, who pointed me in that direction."
Despite her many accomplishments as a Verdi singer, he
was convinced she had the potential to be even greater
in the bel canto repertoire. Together, they re-worked her
technique post-surgery and in the process, she feels she
became a better singer. "It was a godsend. No one else
heard it; Manoli was the only one." The ultimate affirmation
of this vocal transformation was her recent fall 2013
Metropolitan Opera Norma (the summit of all bel canto
roles) – "it was a huge success…HUGE!"
With her COC Elisabetta, Radvanovsky will have sung
all three of Donizetti's "Tudor queens" (Anna Bolena and
Maria Stuarda complete the trilogy), an undertaking few
sopranos have managed to achieve – or survive! Famously,
American soprano Beverly Sills, who performed all three
at New York City Opera during the early 1970s, admitted
they shortened her opera career. "Well," says Radvanovsky,
"I think our voices are a lot different; she was more of a
lyric coloratura," as opposed to Radvanovsky's own fuller,
dramatic instrument. "But I guess she wanted to risk it
because it's so exciting as an artist to perform all three."
And now, having lived with the Tudor queens herself,
Radvanovsky can attest to their dangerous fascination.
"There is the common thread, of course, that they were all
queens and so possess a nobility that one has to keep in
mind in terms of stage deportment – with how they react
and deal with other characters. Vocally, however, they are
completely different. Donizetti chose to highlight earlier
stages of the other queens' lives whereas Elisabetta is at the
end and she's worn down; she's a broken woman. She was
a very strong queen as we know, but here she's angry a lot
and it shows in the vocal writing Donizetti gave her.
If you look at the length of the role, Elisabetta is the shortest,
especially compared to Anna Bolena which is a marathon.
In fact, Elisabetta doesn't appear in quite a bit of the opera,
but she has the key moments and, by far, the hardest music.
In terms of vocal range, hers is the widest with a great
amount of dramatic coloratura that is just unrelenting.
It's so easy to get caught up in the character's temperament.
As singers we can play the emotion in our body or it can get
stuck in your voice… there's good tension and there's bad
tension and one has to learn the difference between the two
if you're going to sing roles like Elisabetta and Norma – you
have to know where to put the tension in your body and
hopefully it doesn't go to your throat."
Radvanovsky will take on the Sills trifecta when she sings
all three Tudor queens in 2015/2016 at the Metropolitan
Opera. "I start in the fall with a new production of Roberto
Devereux and then come back later in the season and do
all three in a row. I'm not sure if I'm completely cuckoo or
sane for doing this!" Before that, however, she is particularly
keen on the COC's Shakespearean Globe Theatre-inspired
production for Devereux. Our audiences will recognize
it from 2010's Maria Stuarda but it was also the setting
for Radvanovsky's Anna Bolena at Washington National
Opera in 2012. "I really like the whole concept of it being
in the round, of the Globe Theatre influence, and it's great
for projecting the voice too – I don't have to work as hard
because I have all this resonant wood around me!"
Roberto Devereux runs at the Four Seasons Centre until May 21, 2014. For tickets and more information click here.

The two major names in French 19th-century opera were Giacomo Meyerbeer and Jules Massenet. Although Charles Gounod and Camille Saint-Saens made wider contributions to French music as a whole during this period (symphonies, chamber music, sacred choral works, etc.), their theatrical output was relatively small compared to the huge number of operatic successes Meyerbeer and Massenet had throughout their long careers. However, despite the popularity of these works during their lifetimes, they suffered a subsequent neglect which, in Massenet's case, was especially true of his later operas including Don Quichotte (1910). However, changing tastes and reconsidered opinions have resulted in a new-found appreciation and popularity for Massenet's treatment of Miguel de Cervantes' epic 1605 novel Don Quixote. Its exploration of universal themes of age versus youth; fulfillment versus regret, and self-deception versus reality, lend it an eternal relevance and appeal.
Musically, Don Quichotte shows Massenet composing in his more chamber music-like mode.* Although he could write operas requiring huge orchestral and choral forces such as 1889's Esclarmonde with its Wagnerian, Tristan und Isolde-inspired story, he was able to downsize all of this in the interest of telling Don Quichotte's more intimate, personal story. Much of its score is lightly orchestrated, accompanied by solo instruments such as the guitar; or, by solo instrumental sections (for example, cellos dominate Don Quichotte's final death scene). This opera was intimate on all fronts, composed as it was for the opulent little theatre in the casino at Monte Carlo. Likewise, its libretto written by Henri Caïn, is a compact five-act distillation of the sprawling Cervantes novel.
The opera's overall dark tinta (dominant musical colour) reflects its examination of sombre themes such as the passage of time and lost illusion. It also results from the dominance of deep male voices – both Don Quichotte and his right hand man, Sancho Panza, are sung by basses. Massenet lightens the overall texture in the larger ensembles by making two of Dulcineé's four suitors into pants roles. However, the overall chamber music scale is maintained even in episodes with the potential for some adventure such Don Quichotte's Act III encounter with threatening brigands in the Spanish mountains. Here, Massenet never lets things get too overwhelming, keeping the orchestral colours spare and transparent.
Musical Excerpt #1: Act II, duet: "Regarde!... Quoi? Quoi?" ("See there!... What? What?")
Connection to the Story
As the morning mist clears, Quichotte sees windmills, takes them for giants, and despite Sancho's attempts to disabuse him, he attacks them and is borne up aloft on one of the sails.
Musical Significance
The question of textual fidelity, or lack thereof, is one of the oft-repeated complaints made against French Romantic operas like Don Quichotte or, for example, Ambroise Thomas' Hamlet (1868); but it's an objection that demonstrates some general confusion around opera libretti (texts) based on well-known works from the literary canon. It must be kept in mind that these operas were very much adaptations of the original pieces of literature, which is even more the case for Don Quichotte, based as it is not so much on Cervantes' novel but on an adaptation of it, the 1904 play, Le chevalier de la longue figure by Jacques Le Lorrain. However, even Massenet couldn't resist setting the famous "tilting at windmills" scene from Cervantes' episodic tale. Many of the atmospheric or emotional effects achieved by Massenet in Don Quichotte are the result of his highly individual, vivid orchestration rather than any flashy vocal writing. For example, listen to the pale, spare chords that introduce the windmills as they appear through the mist at the start of this excerpt (listen from 00:07 to 00:17) – very subtle, a bit spooky, and obviously a product of Don Quichotte's over-fertile imagination! Then, at 1:23, we hear a percussive "clip-clop" sound which mimics the acceleration of the windmills as he swings wildly at them with his sword, much to the disbelief of Sancho.
Musical Excerpt #2: Act IV, aria: "Alza! Alza! Ne pensons qu'au plaisir d'aimer" ("Alza! Alza! Think only of the pleasures of love")
Connection to Story
Dulcinée informs her suitors that she is looking for a new kind of love and, to her own guitar accompaniment, sings a passionate song in praise of fleeting pleasure.
Musical Significance
Dulcinée ranks among the most attractive of Massenet's feminine portraits. His heroines can be roughly divided into two camps: the quintessential femme fatale/courtesan type (Manon and Thaïs) versus his more mettlesome, determined females such as Chimène of Le Cid; the German housewife Charlotte in Werther; the faithful, patient Grisélidis in the opera of that name and, the frantic Anita in La Navarraise. Dulcinée lies somewhere between these two extremes: her social position is not quite clear – she emerges as a strong woman who knows what she wants and keeps her many suitors at bay. In Cervantes' novel, "Dulcinea" is just a figment of the Don's imagination and remains invisible. Massenet goes the route of Jacques Le Lorrain's play on which the libretto is based and turns her into a flesh-and-blood character.
The role requires a fruity, agile mezzo-soprano (a "middle" female singing voice that falls between a soprano and contralto), which is able to handle high-lying passages. She gets to sing music written in a "faux Spanish" style with its characteristically playful, incisive rhythms and clicking castanet sound effects, all of which suit Dulcinée's carefree, flighty personality. This excerpt contains many elements we associate with Spanish folk music: listen for guitar strumming at 00:11; a rousing "Olé" at 00:35; intricate twirling coloratura passages at 00:49 and finally, signature clapping and castanet clicking to end at 1:51.
Musical Excerpt #3: Act IV, duet: "Oui, je souffre votre tristesse" ("Yes, I share your sorrow")
Connection to the Story
With exaggerated courtliness, Don Quichotte proposes marriage to Dulcinée much to the amusement of her guests. She tactfully dismisses them and, in a tender duet, gently refuses his offer.
Musical Significance
This gorgeously harmonized duet seems to encapsulate Claude Debussy's opinion that in Massenet's "untiring curiosity in seeking in music the data for the history of the feminine soul… The harmonies are like enlacing arms, the melodies are the necks we kiss; we gaze into the women's eyes to learn at any cost what lies behind." Like Debussy suggests, Dulcinée's vocal line acts as a mirror to her soul. At 0:17, we hear a gentle, falling melody as she expresses feelings of empathy for Don Quichotte, who she gently lets down after a somewhat inappropriate marriage proposal. Then at 0:42, the tempo picks up and the melody rises and intensifies as she sings of her chagrin (embarrassment) for having mocked his proposal. Finally, at 3:54 the two voices join together in harmony as if to signify their mutual understanding of one other. Although nominally a "love duet," Massenet here maintains the same understated vocal writing he uses throughout the opera and in doing so, charts a painfully honest conversation between two mature adults.
Musical Excerpt #4: Act V, aria: "Ô mon maître, ô mon grand!" ("O my master, o my great!")
Connection to the Story
Quichotte realizes that he has long outlived his purpose in life and that death is near: Sancho will be free to return to the village he forsook to serve so strange a master.
Musical Significance
The opera fittingly concludes with this moving death scene not only signifying the end of Don Quichotte, but also the end of the Age of Chivalry that he represents. Even further, the finale points to the conclusion of a golden age of French Romantic opera for which Massenet served as the last great proponent.
The scene begins with an orchestral introduction dominated by low strings (listen for the cello entry at 0:17) which establishes an appropriately autumnal, sombre atmosphere. We don't hear any singing until 1:38 when Don Quichotte begins his farewell to his lifelong companion, Sancho Panza. Here, in typically French style, the vocal line is intrinsically tied to the text, rising and falling with the cadence of the sentence as it would be spoken with any additional inflection related to the meaning of the words. This remarkably subtle word-setting represents the culmination of a lifetime of experience on Massenet's part; a sort of high point of the very text-centred French operatic tradition that would only be taken one step further by Debussy in Pelléas et Mélisande. At 3:15, Quichotte's recitation takes on the monastic, chanted quality we normally associate with medieval church music. We hear this as his vocal line becomes centred around one pitch and any expression results directly from the handling of the text. Finally, at 8:33 in his final moments, Don Quichotte has a vision of Dulcinée whose voice is heard offstage and is hailed as "la lumière, l'amour, la jeunesse" (the light, the love, the youth) of his life.
Don Quichotte runs from May 9 to 25 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts, for tickets and more information click here.

Gopher Hockey Ticket Usage

BUFFALO, NY-- With no collective bargaining agreement in place, the NHL has cancelled regular season games through December 14, 2012.
The cancellation of games comes after NHL rejected a proposal by the players' union earlier this week.
Friday marks the 69th day of the lockout.
The lack of progress has lead to the talk of the players union decertifying. Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller was the first player to speak out in favor of the move.
The Sabres are offering the following options to their season ticket holders and mini pack holders who have purchased tickets for the 2012-13 season:
Option 1: At the end of each month, the Sabres will refund any games that are cancelled by the NHL. For example, on Jan. 1, the Sabres will refund all regular-season games that were cancelled by the NHL in the month of December. The refund process will be communicated to our season-ticket holders and mini-pack ticket holders (via email and/or mail) if and when games have been cancelled by the NHL.
Option 2: The Sabres will offer season-ticket holders and mini-pack ticket-holders 4% simple interest per annum on the value of the games that are cancelled by the NHL.
Ticket holders will be able to choose which option they would prefer.
