Hello my fellow pastafarian brothers.
I've been looking for some Pastafarian spreading materials in spanish but I haven't been able to find any.
So I'm guessing I'm not the only one in this forum living in Latin America or any other spanish-speaking country. If anyone is interested in creating spreading materials such as brochures, flyers, and even a website, please send me a private message


text: Despite the hoity name, saisons are workin' man's beer, originally intended as crisp, low-gravity refreshment for the pitchfork-wielding farmhands moving Monet's haystacks around. The late British beer writer Michael Jackson fretted about the anachronistic Walloon style's survival, but Belgophiles rallied and saisons are now on full swole. Hood River's new Logsdon Farmhouse Ales, the eponymous label from Full Sail's original brewer (who is apparently either ignorant or contemptuous of Le Googlez) is only making "Seizoen." So far there are three varieties, four if you count the excellent Fresh Hop version, which simply subs in just-plucked Oregon hops. From the tap at Saraveza and a bottle procured from Sellwood's Portland Bottle Shop ($10.50), the beer pours the muted yellow of a pale daffodil with a big, rocky head. A long farmhand-style swig shows the bright, nipping nose precedes lots of lemon zest and blooming rosiness. Recommended.

Read: Are The Owners Just Being Greedy?
At Sportsnet, Mark Spector writes about how Gary Bettman and the owners may be looking to be greedy and that is why they are dragging out the lockout.
Spector writes that most league executives that he has spoken with only want Bettman to get to 50/50 and eliminate the back diving contracts. Other than that the contract details don't mean much to them.
Pierre LeBrun writes at ESPN.com that the owners just want to deal with contract issues that deal with cap circumvention.
Adam Rotter: Part of me thinks that the NHL does have their date in mind and they are just stringing this along to see if they can get the players to cave on some issues they would like, but wouldn't kill the season over. The owners want the 50/50 split and with the players basically there, the owners are now trying to see if they can throw some contract issues on top of it as gravy. Soon the owners will start to give on some of their contract demands, progress will be made and we will be closer to hockey being played.

If yоu аre 1 of these individuals whо endure from hеel pain, іt is important tо makе certain yоu gеt thе right plаntar fasciitis ѕliрpеr. It will provide yоu the assistance yоur ft need aѕ yоu attempt to deal wіth the situation. Apart frоm thе apparent well bеing advantages that уou gеt from thе footwear, yоu will also be much mоre comfortable. When making yоur option, make surе that thе plаntar fаsсiіtiѕ footwear havе sufficient arсh support. Sоme оf them hаve mеmorу-foаm midsоles and foоtbeds that yоu cаn remove to аccоmmodаte уour particular situation. Theѕe are the kinds of features thаt you wіll nоt find in regular footwеar.
Bеlow are 3 exercises that cаn assist to take tension absent from thе рlаntаr fascia and assist tо relieve heеl pain.

If you have any queries make ѕure уоu seek the аdvісe of yоur family doctor prior to attempting any physical exеrсiѕе.
With уоur рlаntar injury healing and thе discomfort ѕubѕidіng, уоu arе probably nervous tо get back аgain tо уоur regular daily activities, whісh I hоpe include а great deal of exercise.
Mаke no error abоut іt; there аre а staggering quantity оf designs unfold amongst a half dozеn оr ѕo manufacturers. Nike might be thе large canine оn the block. They're nоt mу initial option. Somе people steer сlear оf them because оf their swеat shop manufacturing track rеcord. I dоn't likе them simply because thеy tend tо bе too slim. New Stability provides much mоre widthѕ thаn anybody elsе and they break away from thе pаck by doing sоme оf theіr assemblу correct here in the United ѕtateѕ. Whichever business you end uр heading wіth, you gеt whаt уоu pay fоr; dоn't gо for thе inexpensive ones. In my viewpoint, аnу operating shoes below $50 а раir arе susресt. Theу're good fоr lоunging about іn, but yоu'll be jeopardizing an injury likе plantar fasciitis sneakers when yоu begin loggіng milеage.
Thе fооt iѕ thе main part оf оur body thаt аbsorbѕ the force when wе strike thе floor. So thе arсh hаѕ а lot оf function tо do аnd cаn become injured pretty effortlessly. Immediate power can trigger injury, оr whеn the ligamеnts оr the muscles оf the foot аre ovеrѕtrеtсhеd. Overuѕе can alѕо outcome іn a significant amount of discomfort аnd discomfort. Bad bіоmechanісаl аlignment саn trigger pain not оnly to thе аrсh оf thе foоt, but to other parts оf thе foot, аnkles, kneеѕ, hіps, and reduce back. Arthritis оf thе jоіntѕ іn thе region may аlso occur іf your аrсh іs improperly аligned.
You can discover numerous plаntar fasciitis ѕtretсhеѕ that yоu may try tо relax уour heеl muscle tіssuе. Regular plаntar fasciitіs strеtcheѕ iѕ extremely essential to treat thiѕ situation. Thе plаntar fasciitіs strеtching rаiѕeѕ thе versatility of thе Aсhilles tendons. Stretches fоr plantar fasciitis cоncentrаtes on extеnding thе Achіlles tеndon аnd alѕo the plаntar fаsсiа. Plantаr fasсiitis stretch сould be finished аny tіme yоu really feеl shoes for plantar fasciitis.
When looking for the very best рlаntar fаsсiіtіs sandаls, уоu ought to think аbоut buying frоm an approved аnd сrеdіblе vendor. Thіѕ wіll ensure that уоu avoid buying fake footwear that wіll mаkе уоur situation even wоrse. You wіll аlso gеt these shoes which are really wоrth the cash that you аrе heading to spend fоr thеm. Wіth the correct ѕandаls оr flір flоpѕ, уоu do nоt hаvе tо be concerned аbоut struggling frоm the painful Plаntаr fаsciіtіs.
LLLT еmits nо warmth аnd the depth is not higher like іn surgіcal lаѕers. Utilizing laѕer reduced lаѕеr mild іs simple аnd pain-free. Mоst treatments take оnlу 5 to 10 mіnutes even though thіs differs on thе size оf thе region to be treated. Lаѕеr treatment ѕtіmulаtes nеrvе perform аnd assists to generate wholesome cеlls.
Running has a lot оf issues heading for it. One essential factor throughout thіs tіmе оf financial downturn іѕ thаt it's inexpensive. Obаma'ѕ financial ѕtimuluѕ package іsn't going to buy your sрortіng goods; ѕorry. All уou truly need is a great, high quаlity pаir of running footwear ($60 to $100) аnd а pаir оf running shоrts ($10 tо $30). And in thе spirit оf inclusiveness thеre's an addіtіonаl item ladies require, а sports bra ($19 tо $40). Evaluate these prices tо thе cost of a road оr mоuntain bike, or а fitness cеnter mеmbershiр to hаve access tо a lар роol. Operating is the activity fоr the frugal.
Juѕt study wаs some оf thе plаntаr faѕcіitis stretcheѕ that уоu might attempt wіth уour individual ѕwеet time. Appear for help frоm уоur doctor prior tо trying any оf thе strеtches fоr plаntаr fasciіtiѕ. Yоu сan find truly severаlache killеrs, foot pаds and рlаntаr fаsciitіѕ night ѕрlіnts that the physician might inѕtruсtion for eliminating thе hеel aсhе. Think аbоut each 1 of theѕе рlаntаr fasciіtiѕ exercises аnd рlаntаr fаsсіitіѕ strеtсhes еаrly іn the day. Having а little little bit of persеvеrаncе, you wіll certainly be handled оf thіѕ unpleasant situation.

Submission San Francisco to stop buying Apple Macs->
djnanite writes: "Following on from the story that Apple has exited the "Green Hardware" certification program (http://apple.slashdot.org/story/12/07/07/2140231/apple-exits-green-hardware-certification-program), the BBC reports that City officials in San Francisco plan to block local government agencies from buying new Apple Macintosh computers. Will they be the first of many, or will cheaper products override peoples' conscience?"

We needed a sofa for the living room of our new house, and I found this 1930's settee at an antique store in the Stonington Borough, CT (sorry for the bad iPhone photo):
The light blue striped (silk?) fabric was terribly sunstained and had to be replaced. For some reason I got the idea into my head that I could slipcover the sofa. Having never slipcovered a thing in my life. I mean, the library has books about DIY slipcovering, so it can be done, right?
After about 40 hours of hard labor, it can be. Below, the photographic evidence:
Do you tweet? I scornfully opened a Twitter account in order set up a Pinterest account, eventually began following things I like, and am now hooked. I randomly tweet about sewing, style, life.... Like how Connecticut was hit by a freak Nor'easter 2 weekends ago and we lost power for 10 days. That was unpleasant. There's a "follow me" button in the upper corner. If you Tweet, please let me know, becuase I'd love to follow my sewing friends.

Archive for the 'Mt. Oliver' tag
New NASCAR Tucker photo surfaces
Almost three years ago, Jim Donnelly posted a photo and information proving that a Tucker did indeed participate in a NASCAR race, helmed by Joe Merola of Braddock, Pennsylvania, at the 1950 Poor Man's 500 at Canfield Speedway in Ohio. Now, thanks to Tom Merola, Joe Merola's son, we have a much better image of that Tucker – believed to be #1023 – presumably outside the used car dealership that it promoted – Joe Nagel, Jr. Motor Sales at 12 Charles Street in the Mt. Oliver section of Pittsburgh. From looking at the Google Maps image of the building at that address, we're presuming that Tom's photo indeed depicts the Tucker outside the dealership. Thanks, Tom!
UPDATE (12.July 2011): Tom sent another photo of the Tucker, this time showing Joe himself with it.

The Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority board of directors has given Wade A. Davis a vote of confidence.
The board approved a contract Wednesday evening that will retain Mr. Davis as executive director of OBPA through March 2016 with a $108,790 annual salary.
Im very pleased with the performance that Wade has shown, said Samuel J. LaMacchia, board chairman. Stability at the authority is very important, professionalism is very important, and Wade is well-situated to get things done.
The OBPA hired Mr. Davis in 2005 after the resignation of Executive Director Daniel B. Loughney and a shake-up of board members and staff.
I would like to thank the Ogdensburg Bridge and Port Authority board of directors, my staff and the authority employees for their support as we continue to grow jobs and investment opportunities for the region, Mr. Davis said. The authority has a top-notch team dedicated to opening the region to increased commerce opportunities with a strong desire to create jobs. I am very honored to be part of such a great team.
Under Mr. Daviss leadership, the OBPA has enjoyed a number of successes, including the expansion of the Ogdensburg International Airport and the growth of commercial air service under Barnstable, Mass., airline Cape Air, two large wind turbine shipments transiting through the Port of Ogdensburg in 2008 and 2012 and an increase in port activity involving agricultural products and road salt, all in the midst of economic uncertainty.
What we talk about is the symmetry of how the port, the railroad, the industrial park and the bridge interact, bringing all that together, Mr. LaMacchia said. I think he understands all the dynamics of each identity of the authority.
Mr. Davis has a bachelors degree in economics from SUNY Potsdam and a masters degree from Clarkson University, Potsdam, in business administration and engineering and global operations management.
Before joining the OBPA, he spent more than six years in various positions with Mead Specialty Paper.

'Half of the people that die return as zombies?' Only Catelyn and maybe UnGregor so far. Most people are actually dead.
Theon's semi-redemption was actually one of the best parts of A Dance With Dragons, and Joffrey's death has me laughing my ass off each time I read it. It' s a very inglorious end, which is exactly what he deserves.
When almost all the characters have their strengths, weaknesses, quirks, motivations, flaws... I really don't see how you can be calling them 'shallow'. How are people like Varys, Littlefinger and Melisandre 'shallow' when you can't even figure out what they want most of the time? I don't see how 'all the female characters are terrible'.' Catelyn, Cersei, Melisandre, Daenerys, Briënne all make an interesting read and they're definitely not simply male characters in the guise of women. Saying Arya (and by extension, Brienne as well if you're going down this path) doesn't count since she's 'a tom-boy' is ridiculous since her behaviour stems from a rebellious nature against what's expected of her in her misogynistic society (who says a girl can't act like her and still be a girl? That's only a conclusion based on cultural values), I suppose Briënne doesn't count either then? Maybe you simply have a problem with reading about strong female characters, as a lot of people (even fans of the series) seem to do?
Davos is an important character in books 2, 3 and 5, he may not be as prevalent as for instance Tyrion (who I've come to despise) but it's not like he's a minor character with hardly any 'screentime'. If you find a smuggler who suddenly decides to help out people and swears loyalty to the man who chopped his fingers off believable, I'm sure you can find a couple of other characters believable too. It also seems we're putting up the bar for what is considered to be believability for ASOIAF here, since I can name a lot of characters from a lot of series who are far less believable than any of GRRM's. Every nobody that somehow becomes the most powerful warrior / mage of his world in a few month's time ever, for instance, or every 'dark lord' that has no motivation for threatening the world other than simply because he can, and there's a lot of those.
You may think he's entangled himself, but so far, he's still making it work, and the way I see it it should be doable in 2 books, but who says he can't write 3 more? Whether he dies before finishing the series or not is not really meaningful to his abilities as a writer.
He does have his flaws, most notably taking the wrong decisions at times (the two battles that should have been the end and conclusion to ADWD were left out simply to provide a cliffhanger, which made the book incomplete) but he's by no means a 'shit writer'. A shit writer couldn't make a story of this scale work as long as it did.

The Musée Rodin has approximately 25,000 photographs, 7,000 of them were collected by Auguste Rodin himself. The subjects and themes are varied: the personal albums attest to his centres of interest and artistic sources, while the portraits and newspaper photographs illustrate his life. These photographs above all record what happened in the studio, between 1877 and 1917, the year the sculptor died.

When you give someone a gift, you want it to be original and fun and make them smile. We've all gone through the grief of trying to shop for the person who has everything, and often end up thinking 'I suppose I'll just get some flowers'.
But what fun is that?!

Weeknights 7pm-Midnight
How did I get my start? "I started radio as a night intern/stunt boy at the old WZZQ in Terre Haute during my senior year of high school. After a couple of months, I took over the night show, and as they say "The Rest is History!"
Best part about working in radio? "The listeners. They are amazing. Oh, and all the free key chains and bumper stickers we get with the station logos."
What advice would I give people new to the business? "It's a hard business to support a family in. Only the super dedicated, hardest working and most talented individual succeed, and even then people have to adapt to an ever-changing industry. Also, never ever say something on air you wouldn't say in front of your own mother."
How would I describe my first radio gig? "The most fun I've ever had at any one job. Imagine being in high school and hosting a night time show where my own teachers were calling in requests. I had no clue what I was doing, but we had a lot of fun at it."
What's the biggest gaffe I've made on-air? " Wait, will the FCC be reading this? I better say "No Comment."
Which celebrity do I get mistaken for? "Many people confuse me as David Beckham because of my incredible athletic ability and amazing body. And yes, I might not be telling the truth."
If someone offered me 50 dollars to sing karaoke on my show, would I do it? "As long as I wasn't financially responsible for all the ear drums that would burst listening to the bit."
What are you most scared of? "Heights. Hate them! And people who only want to talk politics."

Change your primary domain
When you sign up for a Google enterprise product, you provide an Internet domain name that becomes the primary domain associated with your Google account. You and your users get account names and email addresses at this domain. And you can host your business web site, built in Google Sites, at this domain.
If you get a new domain name that you want to use with Google services, you can add the domain to your Google account to give users an email address or account at that domain. But you can't make it the primary domain. Nor can you swap any other domain you've added to your account with the primary domain.
To use a new domain as your primary domain, you must create a new account for the domain and migrate your users and their data to the new account.
To change your users' account names to the new domain, add the domain as a separate domain. Then move users from their current domain to the new domain. After that, users can sign in to their services using an account name at the new domain. They get an email address at the new domain (and no longer have their old email address). And they can otherwise use the new account name just like they did their old one.
To get started, see Add users from another domain.
To create web addresses at the new domain, such as mail.newdomain.com, or to host your business web site built in Google Sites at the now domain, as in www.newdomain.com, you'll have to create a new account for the domain.
To create a new Google account and migrate your users' data:
- Sign up for Google Apps using your new domain name.
The domain name you sign up with can't be associated with this or any other Google account, either as a domain or domain alias. If it is, you must remove the domain before creating the new account.
- Add your users to the new account.
Using the subscription billing model? If you've purchased a subscription for users in your current account, you can't transfer the subscription to the new account. Instead, you'll be charged for users you add to the new account as well as for your current subscription. To avoid paying for the same users in two accounts, disable automatic renewals on your current account and create the new account at the end of your current subscription.
- Migrate your data to the new account.
Use one of the email migration options to transfer mail from your old domain's account to your new account. Export any documents, spreadsheets, and presentations you want to retain and upload them into your new domain, or share them with a user account in the new domain and copy them.Note: We don't offer migration options for Google Sites. Instead we recommend the following:
- Create a back up for the content in Google Drive and recreate the site once you register with the new domain name.
- Add the new domain admin as owner of the site and then copy it inside of the new domain.
- For those using the Sites API, you can go here for the migration options that are available to you: http://code.google.com/p/google-sites-liberation/
Once all of your data has been transferred or backed up, delete the Google account for your old domain. It takes 24 hours for the account to be removed from our system.
- (Optional) Add the old primary domain to your new Google account.
If you want to retain the old primary domain as a non-primary domain in your Google account, add it to the new account.

By Elaine NortonWellington
I have left politics to someone else thinking I wasn't educated enough nor corrupt enough to participate in it. I threw my vote away voting independent since the Vietnam War. The last twenty-one years has worried me into action, especially the last nine years. I haven't been able to understand why we're going in debt, sacrificing our youths, giving control of our government to a government such as China by selling them our Treasury Bonds.
I thought that the Vietnam war did more to make me realize that our interests, the American people's interests, were not being served until we went into the Iraq War. Now I really don't know why we have been in a war for the last nine years at a time when we're broke and have to borrow financing for it from our enemy, China. I don't know what I expected to change?
The newspaper and TV newscasters have been the sum of my political education until the last few years. The newspapers are only reporting that which they have a vested interest in and the TV casters the same except Fox and some of the radio talk-show hosts.
I am definitely not from the computer generation but two years ago I purchased a computer, and found the Internet and the abundance of knowledge available. After exploring subjects like Capitalism, Marxism, Socialism, Communism, Progressivism, Masons and the one World Order, I really got more than terrorized. I'm afraid we are no longer in control of our beloved country and if we don't do something quick to get it back, it may be irreversible. We have a few people on our airways that are trying to alert us and direct us to action to peacefully restore our control.
The last seven months have taken me beyond terror. Where do I go from here? The most unbelievable realization is that our representatives are letting it happen. I never knew that a communist could be on the American government payroll. Where is our Attorney General? Where is Congress? Is there not one of them that will call for an investigation? Last November our president told us we were in such crisis that immediate action had to be taken. I'm no genius but why was he suddenly surprised? Didn't he and the genius' at the head of banking, Congress, housing, economy, finances, and the war know there was a crisis before? Our president called an emergency one month before the general election that interrupted the election and turned the momentum of the polls against what normally would have been assumed was going in favor of his Republican party's candidates.
I left my country in the hands of the educated ones. They were smart all right; smart, crooked, evil and un-American.
I decided it was time I educated myself. I'm sure there are a lot of people like me from the size of the crowds at the tea parties, town hall meetings and hopefully the nine-twelve march to Washington. I wish I could be there but I'm in a wheelchair. However I can express my support with this letter and spread the word on the Internet and by speaking with my friends and neighbors. If they don't agree, that's the ones I really need to voice my feelings to. I don't want to be asked someday, "Why didn't you warn me?"
If you're not afraid we're loosing control of our American Government, our Republic, then sleep on and when you wake up to a real nightmare and you may not recognize the America you knew before your slumber.
Please don't slumber on.

Antonio Cromartie Scouting Report
Here's the scouting report from last year on Antonio Cromartie from ESPN.com:
Cromartie is an excellent athlete who was hindered by a hip injury for a good portion of the 2008 season. He has the size and speed to be a shut down CB in the league and can make plays on the ball like few other players in the league.
He is very fluid through hips. He can turn and run with good burst and acceleration. He has exceptional recovery skills when healthy and he uses his long arms well to intercept or break up plays. When he gets his hands on the ball he can make big plays happen in the opposite direction due to his experience as punt returner.
He has enough size and strength to match up well with big and physical receivers, but he is also quick enough mirror routes of quick players. If he stays healthy, Cromartie has Pro Bowl ability and will be considered one of the leagues elite cover men for years to come.
At 6-2 and 203 lbs. he's just the kind of corner the Jets have been looking for since adding Revis in 2007, a larger player who can muscle up with some big talent … but also play with a smaller guy should teams try to mismatch him. It's not to say that Darrelle can't play those big guys too, he did it well in 2009, but it's more about being ready for any given receiving corps and how opponents match that second corner. Cromartie allows them to add some beef and versatility to their secondary.
Size is something that the Jets have coveted for a few years now out of their secondary, but had a tough time finding. During the 2008 Draft, the Jets were close on Tyvon Branch and Justin King, both six footers, and missed out by one pick. With no corner of interest on the board right there, they moved back a few slots and then took Dwight Lowery. It's not to say that Lowery was a guy they didn't like, I just think they liked other guys out there better for their needs.
Cromartie's physical abilities are limitless, but it's going to come down to his focus. Rex will tell him what's expected and it's up to Cromartie to focus and deliver.

I really wish it did not have to come to this, ballistic backpacks for children. The cutting-edge tech includes RynoHide carbon nanotube armor:
Our ballistic backpack provides built-in ballistic protection in a backpack that weighs just ounces more than a non-armored backpack.

Sewn into the rear of the pack, you can always be confident that the armor hasn't been accidentally left at home and that you or your child are protected in case of the unthinkable.
The backpack can be quickly brought to the front as a shield or can serve as center of mass protection while fleeing the scene of the shooting.
Available in boys, girls, or teen/adult models and Level II (.357 Magnum, .45, .40, 9 mm) or Level IIIA (.44 Magnum, .357 SIG and below) protection.

I am really interested in learning some basic climbing skills. I want to know how to rappel and how to set a rope to protect myself while doing risky scrambling. I think that having learning some climbing skills could really help me on some of my hikes. I'm not interested in doing actual rock climbing. I just want to be able to deal with waterfalls, short drop offs, and short climbs.Where should I start? Where is the best place to learn these skills? I don't want to spend a lot of money and I don't want to waste my time learning skills I'm not going to use. Any suggestions?
Did you check at REI? I was in the Santa Rosa store last weekend(bought nothing), has a whole bunch of different classes coming up.
If you live in limestone country, you may be able to find a spelunkers club. They tend to be pretty good with ropes, mud, and water.--B.G.--
If you're going to use a rope you'll want to learn to build proper anchors. There is also a gear requirement* (the rope, gear to attach you to it, gear to build the anchor, etc.) If you are climbing up (rather than down), a rope is mostly only useful if you're placing protection along the way, which means even more gear.Your local climbing gym (or REI intro class) can easily cover the basics of tying in to the rope and belaying a partner when top roping. REI also offers an anchor building class for $90 (I haven't tried it, so can't say what it's like). They won't cover everything you need to know, particularly for going solo, but I'd count the pair of classes in the "things everyone should know" category.*Do you have any idea what that'll do to your baseweight?!
REI is probably your best bet for anchor building. Climbing gyms are usually top-rope or pre-placed protection for leading. Not much help there in actually setting anchors up.If your local community college has an outdoors program, email one of the instructors and ask if they know.If you can dig up some local climbing/bouldering spots, and I'm sure there are quite a few around you ... swing by and ask the climbers there. They may be able to point you in the right direction.You can learn a lot as well, depending on what kinds of anchors you want to build, by looking up SAR anchors online. Books, such as Freedom of the Hills as well done and will give you a huge set of reference material.But, really, you don't want to screw up ... it's your life on those anchors. So just be safe, go slow and make sure you get your anchors perfect and don't just settle ... take extra minute or 5 or 10 to make sure it's as perfect as you can get. It's far from rocket science ... heck, they teach it at REI ... but you do need to understand the gear and basic placement.And don't buy a sport-climbing harness. Get a BD Alpine Bod. Much (MUCH) nicer and easier to get on and off. :P Or just get some 1" tubular webbing (REI or online) and learn to tie your own ... but that can be a tad uncomfortable if you're actually hanging on it much. Cheaper, lighter and smaller than a harness though.
Edited by moxford on 04/19/2013 11:50:58 MDT.
I have never had any climbing instruction beyond belay tests at climbing walls and haven't had any problems climbing so far. However, I have stuck to sport climbing and top-roping so far. There is lots of good info on the internet and in books. I personally just bought some books on the subject and learned how to build good anchors. Then I bought some appropriate materials to make anchors on trees and 'rappelled' by walking backwards on flat ground to get the hang of the ATC and everything. I then transitioned to steeper hills, short vertical faces, and then larger vertical or overhanging faces. I also climbed in a gym which was really helpful in getting comfortable with heights, harnesses, belay devices, lead climbing etc. Take it slow, practice techniques in safe situations, and be careful!
I didn't think of REI. That sounds like it should work.
If you're by yourself and climbing up...well a rope is useless. Yes there are ways to self belay, but it's all VERY complicated and somewhat gear and time intensive. Definitely not something I'd recommend for someone with no experience. This is why climbing is usually a partner sport.An anchor class (either for top rope or traditional climbing) will teach you most everything you want to know for rapelling.Now if all you want is to go down, then a Canyoneering class will also teach you how to set up rappel anchors and a myriad of different rope techniques often not learned by the regular climber. They're usually a bit better about self rescue such as what happens if you rappel and accidentally get stuck half way down (not terribly uncommon). It's basically the same stuff you'd get out of a spelunking group, but you aren't technically underground.REI or any other local outdoor rental shop will usually offer these classes for anywhere from $75 to $250 depending on hours of instruction.
Rappelling would be the most useful skill for me. I usually hike with a partner who is also interested in learning some climbing skills.A canyoneering class sounds great because that's basically what I am going to use it for - canyons. I do lots off trail hiking in Big Sur and we usually follow streams. The streams turn into canyons and we sometimes run into waterfalls. Being able to rappel would help for going downstream and for rappeling back into a canyon after we bushwacked around a waterfall.
Yeah, canyoneering would be your best bet. You probably don't get potholes as much as we do in the southwest, but it's worth learning how to escape those as well. Also with enough practice/experience you won't have to bushwhack...you can just rappel down the waterfall itself!
My friends and I taught ourselves to climb by reading "Freedom of the Hills," buying used gear, and experimenting. Our first rope was from Home Depot. Just go for it. Look for climbing texts written in the 1960s, before expensive gear--- you'll learn economical, elegant techniques.
"I am really interested in learning some basic climbing skills. I want to know how to rappel and how to set a rope to protect myself while doing risky scrambling."Rappel: the dulferstitz works. No harness needed. The Munter hitch on a big carabiner works without a belay device. Prussiks, Garda hitch, and other techniques are good low-tech ways of ratcheting up the rope.Risky scrambling: buy nice approach shoes with sticky rubber. Rope-soloing isn't that complicated, but the problem is, I think you need to master 'actual rock climbing' before you can do it safely. So it seems like if you're using the rope to protect yourself during risky scrambling, you've already graduated beyond 'actual rock climbing.' But check it out and see what you think. Lots of good info on rope solo and solo aid on the web."I think that having learning some climbing skills could really help me on some of my hikes. I'm not interested in doing actual rock climbing. I just want to be able to deal with waterfalls, short drop offs, and short climbs."So, just to reiterate, I think the best measure is to just wear approach shoes and solo it. Or bring some thin rock climbing slippers. 30m 8mm rando rope and no harness can get you back down. "Where should I start? Where is the best place to learn these skills? I don't want to spend a lot of money and I don't want to waste my time learning skills I'm not going to use. Any suggestions?"An old copy of Freedom of the Hills. Rappel out of a tree. Have fun and good luck!
Pinnacles is right around the corner from you.There are some short easy pitches that would be a great place to start.
There are actually some places to climb/rappel really close to me. Hood Mountain, Mt. Saint Helena, and the Calistoga Palisades all have some rock faces and cliffs."Rappel: the dulferstitz works. No harness needed."I looked up the dulferstitz rappel and it looks very useful for short and easy drops. Or for walking down super steep dirt slopes where a slip could be dangerous. I am definitely going to practice it.Most of the trips where I would need to climb or rappel would be cross country trips where I would be hiking with someone for safety.

> Rappel: the dulferstitz works. No harness neededBe sure to wear a collared shirt for this, and go slowly! I wouldn't do this on terrain where you are free-hanging in air, as you could flip upside-down and lose control of the rope. .You can also rappel without a harness as long as you have about 10-20 feet of webbing. Just create a webbing sit harness (see: Mountaineering: Freedom of the Hills) and add a large locking 'biner. Combined with a munter hitch, this is a much safer and easy way to rappel on a money/weight budget.
"Be sure to wear a collared shirt for this, and go slowly!"We used to call this the body rappel, and it can really take a toll on your clothing in certain spots. If the moving rope slides off your clothing in those spots, it can take a toll on your skin.--B.G.--
http://alpineskills.com/I know you said you don't want to learn to rock climb... but all the things you mentioned is rock climbing... take a beginning class and they would cover what you need...bill
before you reject the idea of learning to rock climb,consider that you can't always predict what it is you're going to get into when climbing... even when having a good view of your route... it often happens that you start out thinking you're going to climb some easy 3rd class and an hour later you are sweating bullets on some 4th or 5th class with exposure..so consider that in the mountains it is better to know more and have more skills than you actually need... better than getting into something and having less knowledge and fewer skills than you need... strung out on something harder than your skills is not a great time to wish you had taken that rock climbing class, eh?bill

STAR LAKE The St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency is the recipient of a $175,000 award through the Regional Economic Development Council to assess removal of blighted buildings at the former Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. site, a move forward in the eventual reclamation of the property.
To me, its more positive momentum, said Fine Supervisor Mark C. Hall, a member of the IDA. There are steps in the right direction.
Much of the J&L site in the town of Clifton is heavily polluted. Identifying the extent of the environmental contamination has been going on for years. In the meantime, about a dozen buildings remain on the property as an unfortunate landmark and possible contaminant themselves but it has been difficult to find money to remove them because state Department of Environmental Conservation programs are not designed toward demolition.
People involved in plotting out the remediation work decided part of the immediate attention should focus on removal of the buildings.
This is a long-term project no matter how it happens, Mr. Hall said. Were just sick of looking at the buildings and sick of that reminder.
The IDA is working with the DEC and Development Authority of the North Country to map out a strategy. The money awarded will help the IDA come up with engineered cost estimates for demolition.
We wont be guessing in the dark about what its going to cost, Mr. Hall said.
The estimates and other work at the site by the DEC and a consultant for the county might be used to leverage future building demolition funding.
The 54-acre property is being investigated as two separate pieces. An 18-acre parcel was split off with the presumption it was less polluted. Field work conducted by consultant Camp, Dresser & McKee has been completed, confirming that piece is relatively uncontaminated, Mr. Hall said.
The next challenge will be for the county to obtain a release of liability and to sub-divide the property from the remaining 36 acres so it can be available for development.
The rest of the property including the buildings, oil spill area, and other contaminates is on the state Superfund Registry and additional fieldwork is being conducted.

For questions about road access to high mountain lakes and reservoirs, the U.S. Forest Service is the best source of information.
All high elevation waters in southeastern Utah remain inaccessible.
Aquatics Biologist Craig Walker advises anglers to fish the lower and mid-elevation reservoirs for a while. Creek flows are high and turbid, creating difficult fishing conditions.
ABAJO MOUNTAINS Both Blanding reservoirs were restocked in mid-late May. Fishing has been fair at either reservoir for anglers using baits, or Kastmaster and Mepp's spinners.
Recapture Reservoir continues to be slow, according to Conservation Officer Joe Nicholson. Aquatic biologists suggest that pike fishermen use a large, chartreuse, skirted, double-bladed spinner bait. Loyd's Lake has provided fair to good fishing with salmon eggs.
Fishing has been fair to good at Monticello and Foy reservoirs with worms or silver Panther Martin spinners
BENCHES RESERVOIR The ice is off. Fishing was fair last weekend for carryover 8-10 inch rainbows. Stocking will occur any day. The reservoir's tributary is closed to fishing until July 9.
BOULGER RESERVOIR The reservoir is ice-free, although access is difficult. Once the road dries enough to accommodate a hatchery truck, it will be stocked. The tributary is closed until July 9.
CLEVELAND RESERVOIR The reservoir is ice-free. Stocking is imminent. Fishing has been spotty for carryover trout which weigh as much as 2 pounds., according to Todd Munford. He recommends orange sparkle PowerBait or a nightcrawler/marshmallow combination.
DUCK FORK RESERVOIR Road access is closed.
ELECTRIC LAKE The lake is ice-free. Sergeant Carl Gramlich and Conservation Officer Stacey Jones both reported good fishing success over the Memorial Day weekend. They said that either worms or spinners were effective.
Todd Munford reports that fishing has been best on the north end of the lake. Where the tributary flows into the lake, the water is cloudy; but the further south you go, the clearer the water becomes. Todd recommends a straight nightcrawler for bait fishermen.
For fly fishermen, he suggests a red crystal bugger or brown leech pattern. Tributaries are closed to fishing until July 9th to protect spawning cutthroat trout..
FAIRVIEW LAKES The lakes are partially iced over, but road access is available. The first planting of the year is expected to occur any day. Todd Munford recommends rainbow or chartreuse PowerBait. He suggests that fly fishermen use sinking line and chartreuse wooly buggers or brown leech patterns.
FERRON RESERVOIR The access road is closed.
GIGLIOTTI POND This pond was stocked on May 26.
GOOSEBERRY RESERVOIR The access road remains closed. Tributaries are closed to fishing until July 9.
HUNTINGTON CREEK Except for the upper end of the fly-only zone, the creek is largely unfishable due to the high run-off.
Officer Jay Topham expects fishing success to improve shortly, as the water begins to clear.
Todd Munford advises anglers in the fly-only zone to practice a quiet, stealthy approach to avoid spooking fish. He suggests using floating line without a strike indicator, trailed by tapered leader and a small nymph pattern such as a #18 RS 2 or #18 Lil Brassie. Brown trout have been ranging between 10-12 inches.
HUNTINGTON GAME FARM POND Stocking occurred just before Memorial Day. Anglers must walk the quarter mile from the locked gate to the pond.
HUNTINGTON NORTH STATE PARK This reservoir was planted with a truckload of 9-10 inch rainbow trout on May 20. Fishing has been fair. Best baits have been rainbow or green PowerBait or nightcrawlers. Spincasters have had luck with a Super Vibrax or Roostertail.
HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR (on the Wasatch Plateau, Sanpete County) The ice is going fast, and the ice pack may be gone by the weekend.
Conservation Officer Jay Topham asserted this reservoir to be the best fishing spot on the mountain over the Memorial Day weekend. Worms worked best.
Todd Munford recommends fishing with a straight nightcrawler.
JOES VALLEY RESERVOIR Aquatics Biologist Craig Hart indicates that Utah chubs are beginning to congregate at the mouths of tributaries. Fishing with dead chubs or shiners should provide anglers with a chance to catch some larger splake.
Fly fishermen may wish to try a large streamer or leech pattern. Most splake are either under or within the slot. Special regulations apply. The limit is two trout, only one over 22 inches. All trout between 15-22 inches must be immediately released.
LAKE POWELL The Lake Powell fishing report home page is: www.wayneswords.com.
LASAL MOUNTAINS Conservation Officer Joe Nicholson reports that fishing success has slowed down at Ken's Lake, where most fish are being caught with PowerBait, worms, or silver spoons and spinners.
Fishing at Hidden Lake has been fair with most trout being caught on salmon eggs and rainbow PowerBait. Fishing at Don's lake has been slow, but a few anglers have been catching splake and tiger trout up to 12 inches on worms and spinners.
Fishing has been very good at Oowah Reservoir, where Officer Nicholson cited a party of teenagers possessing a "gross overlimit" of trout.
At Oowah, Nicholson recommends worms or salmon eggs for 8-12 inch rainbow trout. The road to Warner Lake remains closed. Medicine Lake, Dark Canyon Reservoir and Blue Lake are still inaccessible.
LOWER FISH CREEK Lieutenant Alan Green says that the water is level is extremely low, although a few determined fly and spincasters had been pulling a few fish from the deeper pools more than a mile from the dam.
MILLER FLAT RESERVOIR The reservoir is ice-free. Fishing has been fair with red salmon eggs or a nightcrawler/mallow combination. Stocking is imminent.
MILLSITE RESERVOIR Fishing has been good with a worm/marshmallow combination, salmon eggs, and yellow-sparkle or lemon-twist PowerBait.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR Aquatics Biologist Craig Walker advises anglers that the reservoir was recently stocked with fingerling rainbow trout. Anglers attempting to capture bait fish, such as redside shiners, are reminded that the 3-inch rainbows cannot be used as bait.
Conservation Officer Stacey Jones reported fair to good fishing, depending on the location. She found boaters trolling in the Madsen Bay area to be most successful. She said that bank fishermen were doing best with dead minnows and worms. Stacey observed that when the wind died down, anglers had to compete with a large midge hatch, which put a lot of emergent and flying insects on the water, hampering fishing success.
Sergeant Carl Gramlich indicated that the rapidly rising reservoir level had flooded a lot of dry ground, putting a lot of insects, worms and grubs into the water. Carl noted that the abundance of natural food in the water produced slower fishing conditions.
Todd Munford recently described fishing as fair. He recommends catching and hooking redside shiners, and then using them in the dam cove. Todd said the most successful PowerBait colors were rainbow or orange. Successful boaters trolled pop gear with a nightcrawler or slow-trolled a straight nightcrawler.
STRAIGHT CANYON The creek is unfishable due to high, fast and colored water.

Davidoff: Carlos Beltran Is Tradeable
Ken Davidoff of Newsday believes there is a strong liklihood Carlos Beltran will be traded this winter.
Davidoff says the Mets are sending "strong signals" they badly want to unload Beltran, but it remains to be seen as to whether or not they would be willing to "pay the freight" to deal him.
That said, Davidoff suggests there could be strong interest in Beltran this winter from the Cardinals and the Red Sox, should the Mets be willing to pay a portion of the $18.5 million remaining on his contract for next season.
I think Beltran goes only if the Mets pay A LOT of what's owed, and not just a few million…I could definitely see him back with the Mets next season, and if that's the case, I'm hoping he moves to one of the corner outfield spots which would allow them to maximize Angel Pagan's defensive talents.
Part of me wants the Mets to deal Beltran because that part feels such a move is what's best for the short term future of the organization, but part of me also wants him back, because if he can get his legs strong and healthy, I think he could have a big year in his walk year next season.
The thing is, I can't see any team right now that would be willing to put Beltran in centerfield because of his clear cut reduced range out there…
For more on Beltran, and others from around the league which Davidoff believes could be traded, check out Newsday here.

When you open the package you will notice that one grip has a larger inner diameter than the other. The larger inner diameter grip is for the Throttle side (right side), while the smaller inner diameter is for the Clutch side (left side).
- Remove your old grips from the handlebar.
- Clean all of the glue and dirt residue from the throttle plastic and the handlebar. You will not use glue to install our hand grips because they are designed with a compression fit.
- To slide them on easier, we recommend using warm soapy water or glass cleaner; these liquids will evaporate upon drying. Do not use petroleum based lubricants as they will leave a slick residue, allowing the grip to slide off easily while riding. Do not use compressed air or a screwdriver to install as this could result in blowing out the side or damaging the graphics.
- Once applied and you're happy with them, you may want to install Bar Ends. If it is a closed grip, you will have to modify the grips by making an opening at the end of the grip to fit the bar ends; by modifying you void warranty. To Start we recommend using a sharp X-Acto knife and with the grips installed, simply make the opening, using the inner wall of the Handlebars as a guide. Additional trimming may be required to facilitate proper Throttle Control with Bar Ends installed
Be sure not to push the throttle grip on so far that it interferes with throttle operation! Always check for proper throttle operation before riding the bike.

S&S Reproduction Kick Cover
I just fitted a new kick cover to a 1940 transmission. The S&S Repro cover is a very nice piece, but if you use the early throwout bearing, you will need to do a little clearancing inside the cover near the fork so the bearing will have full travel. The area in question is at the junction of the cast- in bevel and the machined slot for the fork, just above the foundry marks.

Date: 2/22/2014, Time: 12:30 pm, Temp: 61, Wind: 15 kt, Tide: Ebb
Nathan took advantage of the break in cold temperatures to get out and do some fishing today. We went to Kings Landing State Park around 12:30 pm at low tide and fished from the pier. We were using fresh shrimp on a basic bottom rig with double hooks. Nathan caught two nice size channel cats and a couple of smaller ones. Great first day of fishing for the season. Nathan can't wait for the trout stockings to begin and the opening day of rockfish season. Today took care of the itch for now.

Fun on the Bay even in the Cold
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Lower Bay
Location: South of Cedar Point
Nathan went trolling on a friends boat South of Cedar Point on Saturday 11/16 in the Chesapeake Bay. The weather conditions were a light drizzle and fog with calm winds. We didn't travel far because of the dense fog and chilly air. We only picked up one 22.5" rockfish but still had fun on the water. We actually marked more fish at the mouth of the river on the way in.

Nathan went fishing on Sunday 11/10 at a local private pond in Huntingtown, MD. The temperature was very mild so we decided to target crappie by running a small tube behind a bobber. No luck, so Nathan switched to a bobber, small split shot, and night crawlers and caught a few Bluegills and sunfish. He worked on his casting and enjoyed the great mid November weather with his family fishing.

Fishing at Cedar Point
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Mid Bay
Location: Cedar Point, Chesapeake Bay
We went trolling Saturday morning around 7:30am.Wind was calm and the temperature was warm for November. The only down side was the tide had slacked off. We set the lines in 35 ft. of water in front of LNG and trolled in a northeast direction zig zagging between 35 and 45ft of water. We had a five rod spread using spoons, bucktails, and umbrellas. The hot bait all morning was an umbrella rig with white teaser shads and gummies as the trailer. The rockfish were hitting it well. In some cases we caught double headers. All unders were sent back to the water quickly. It caught most of the fish and was set down deep in the water column.
We headed south again and we had all rods hit at one time but no fish hooked up except on the rod with the spoon. We knew instantly we had to check our lines and baits for bite offs. We thought most of the blues had left for the season but unfortunately we guessed wrong. Everything but the spoons were gone as we apparently went through a big school of blues just before getting to Cedar Point. Nathan still can't get over the fact a fish bit off all the shads' tails. We rigged everything up again before arriving at the Point. We could see several boats making tight turns south of the point so we headed in the direction to get in line with the other boats. As we arrived we saw what every fisherman likes to see, diving birds and breaking fish. We made a couple of passes with the other boats and caught what we needed and left with the fish still breaking the surface. All in all it was a great morning of fishing on the Chesapeake Bay.

Calvert Cliffs Rainbows
Type: Freshwater
Region: Southern
Location: Calvert Cliffs State Park
Nathan was fishing at Calvert Cliffs State Park for the second time since the fall stocking began and was able to catch three nice Rainbow Trouts using corn for bait. After about 45 minutes of fishing we stopped because he wanted to enjoy the great recycled tire playground they have at Calvert Cliff State Park before the sun went down and got cold.

Cold Weather Dosen't Stop This Kid
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Mid Bay
Location: Flag Harbor
Nathan, age 5 was fishing on Friday 10/25 in the afternoon from Flag Harbor Beach in St. Leonard, MD at low tide. He was using a spinning reel and light action rod with a bottom rig with two size 4 hooks baited with blood worms. He needed a 4oz. Pyramid sinker to hold bottom because of the ebb tide and wind. Nathan reeled in these two nice sized White Perch. He also caught a few Spot, more White Perch, and rockfish in the 10 - 14" range that were quickly returned to the bay. We saw a lot of birds (gannets?) working the surface but just out of reach from the shore line to see exactly what species of fish were under them. All in all a great afternoon of fishing.
