awkward follows you like a beer chasing a shot of tequila.
Between the confusion and adrenaline rushing through my body I was still somewhat able to keep my since of composer, and I knew that everyone had to be notified and gotten out to safety.... It wasnt until stories were released and members of my schools faculty commended us on what we had done, I realized that because of our quick thinking and unselfishness others were not harmed.

Look at the gentleman below. And do not do what Mohammad Eid al-Ajmi did by insulting Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah. He received 5 years in jail for insulting the Kuwaiti ruler:
A Kuwaiti court has sentenced a man to five years in prison for insulting the emir on Twitter, a rights lawyer and news websites said, in the latest prosecution for criticism of authorities via social media in the Gulf Arab state.
The court gave Kuwaiti Mohammad Eid al-Ajmi the maximum sentence for the comments, news websites al-Rai and alaan.cc reported.
In recent months Kuwait has penalised several Twitter users for criticising the emir, who is described as "immune and inviolable" in the constitution. . .
In June 2012, a man was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he was convicted of endangering state security by insulting the Prophet Mohammad and the Sunni Muslim rulers of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain on social media.
Two months later, authorities detained Sheikh Meshaal al-Malik Al-Sabah, a member of the ruling family, over remarks on Twitter in which he accused authorities of corruption and called for political reform.
Twitter tweets are tiny. Imagine if the Sheikh had been a blogger.
If you want a real crime, read of Lama al-Ghamdi, daughter of Fayhan al-Ghamdi.

Knicks Struggle vs. Dribble Drive
Tommy DeeMy buddy Ryan Wallace texted me during the first quarter last night and he hit the nail on the head. "This is just a bad match up," he said. "It happens."
I totally agreed and it's one that had several reasons, but let's take a look at the first one.
@11758rw dribble drive. Keep your man in front if you and force jumpers. Then run. Tough match up for a slow paced team.
— Tommy Dee (@TommyDeeTKB) December 18, 2012
@tommydeetkb 16fts and 34 pts in paint. I didn't watch game but I bet raptors played them zone.
— Ryan Wallace(@11758rw) December 18, 2012
The Rockets essentially run a college offense centered around attacking the "block" or "slots" with pick and roll mixed in. They are coached by Kelvin Sampson, who produced many pros in college. Their goal is to beat their man to the open block forcing help and if no help comes it's a layup.
Kentucky has made the dribble drive famous, and it's the perfect offense for players like James Harden and Jeremy Lin, both who need the bounce to create optimal scoring opportunities. I'm surprised it's not more utilized in the NBA. Lin's numbers are down because he plays most of the game off the ball, watching and reacting to Harden's attacking and slashing to the block. When the Rockets have Harden attacking the left "slot" and Lin attacking the right "slot" they are very hard to defend.
As we know, the Knicks struggle guarding the dribble, especially Jason Kidd these days, so it makes sense that the Rockets backcourt has been dominant against the Knicks in their two meetings. Add to the fact that Tyson Chandler had to be especially careful in help because of a lack of depth and the fact that Kurt Thomas would struggle at the pace the Rockets play at, and you have the makings of another blow out.
The solution to the dribble drive? Iman Shumpert would most certainly have helped as would some sprinkling of a 2-3, 3-2 or match up zone, something Mike Woodson isn't a fan of.
The NBA is a copycat league, so expect to see more of this as the NBA tries to figure the Knicks out defensively.

LINCOLN — The holiday season has officially arrived and Richard DiMasse and Dave Sale are hoping it will help local efforts to preserve a local one-room schoolhouse with purchases of this year's Lincoln collectible ornament.
The tradition of creating a holiday ornament of a local landmark was started by the Lincoln Citizens Celebration Committee 17 years ago as a part of the town's observances for its 125th anniversary.
The committee used ornament sales to help fund the music events it put on in each village of town and has continued to make ornaments to fund other needed projects in the years since, according to DiMasse and Sale.
This year's edition of the ornament depicts the former Lonsdale Twin Drive-In in a colorful rendering of the theater's north entrance sign, three-lane ticket gate and large parking area for cars and the movie screen in the background.

Youth Sports Organizations Launch Sports Concussion Partnership
Nation's Youth Sports Organizations and Health Leaders Unite to Launch Sports Concussion Partnership
National Sports Concussion Coalition to identify shared approaches to enhancing safer youth play
WASHINGTON, D.C. (October 7, 2013)
— A number of the nation's most prominent youth sports organizations announced today that they will be partnering with concussion specialists, sports medicine professionals and leaders at other levels of sports to create an unprecedented coalition to combat concussions among young athletes.
The National Sports Concussion Coalition expects to be the most comprehensive alliance of its kind, with science and medical leaders in the fields of concussions, brain injury and sports medicine working directly with a cross-section of organizations and governing bodies that represent millions of athletes across major organized sports in the United States.
The coalition, which started discussions earlier this year and held a planning session in September, will look to enhance participation in sports in the United States by providing a safer playing environment. The partnership will complement the safety initiatives of the individual organizations by sharing data and identifying best safety practices that can assist in coaching, playing and officiating across sports.
The founding youth sports and medical members of the coalition include the
National Council of Youth Sports (NCYS)
Pop Warner Little Scholars
Sports Concussion Institute (SCI)
US Lacrosse
US Youth Soccer
USA Hockey
American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
Amateur Softball Association/USA Softball
USA Basketball
and the
Datalys Center for Sports Injury Research and Prevention
. Coalition partners at the professional, college and foundation levels include the
National Football Foundation
"US Youth Soccer views sport as a way to build confidence in our youth and provide lessons that will assist them throughout their lives on and off the field," said Jim Cosgrove, executive director of
US Youth Soccer
. "We hope to play a valuable role on the team of organizations represented in the National Sports Concussion Coalition as we collectively hope to leave a positive imprint on sport."
"Sports have the power to change the lives of millions of young people in this country by encouraging a physically active lifestyle and by teaching lifelong lessons. We want to make sure no child loses that opportunity due to fear of injury," said Jon Butler, executive director of
Pop Warner Little Scholars
. "By coming together in this very important fight against concussions we believe our collective efforts will transcend our individual sports and benefit everyone."
"This collection of organizations is interested in the safety and wellbeing of our young people," said Sally Johnson,
executive director. "We will lead the way by sharing best practices among our organizations and providing parents, coaches, trainers, officials and athletes with the latest evidence-based facts and information about concussions, general health, and player safety."
"From the perspective of health and science professionals committed to the study of neuroscience, we're excited about working with a serious and respected group of professionals who can apply evidence-based approaches to directly benefit millions of young athletes across the country each day," said Tony Strickland, Ph.D., CEO of the
Sports Concussion Institute
and an Associate Clinical Professor of Neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
"Enhancing player safety in lacrosse has been a focus of US Lacrosse since our 1998 inception as the sport's national governing body," said Steve Stenersen, CEO of
US Lacrosse
. "We're pleased to partner with amateur sport leaders and sports medicine experts in our mutual pursuit of a safer playing environment through the continued study of head injuries and the appropriate employment of interventions to reduce their impact on athletes of all ages."
"Providing the safest possible environment has always been at the forefront of our efforts at USA Hockey," said Dave Ogrean, executive director of
USA Hockey
. "We look forward to being part of this new coalition to not only share what has worked for us, but also contribute to the discussion as to how we can jointly help influence the best possible experience for everyone involved in sport."
"In my clinical practice and as a team physician, I see first-hand the difference that evidence-based best practices can make in preventing sports-related concussion," said William Dexter, M.D., president of the
American College of Sports Medicine
and Director of Sports Medicine at Maine Medical Center. "The National Sports Concussion Coalition will help millions of youth athletes participate more safely — a goal that brings together the diverse organizations that make up the coalition."
"The NCAA is committed to broad concussion education outreach, and to research that will identify objective biomarkers and sound management guidelines. We are excited about our partnership in this important alliance," said Brian Hainline, M.D., chief medical officer of the
"As the union that represents professional football players, we have worked extremely hard to ensure our members benefit from the safest work environment possible," said
executive director DeMaurice Smith. "This coalition brings together the right partners to help deliver an equal level of protection for athletes at all levels of sports."

Hey guys! I'm a 31 y/o female from Georgia. I'm the proud owner of a 3 month old apbt, named Sophie. I decided to join this forum to ensure that I stay current on the breeds info!
I've been a dog owner my entire life (primarily large breeds). I've had everything from collies to Labradors, to rottweilers to apbts! Pitbulls are by far my favorite :-) I was introduced to the breed by a friend.
I acquired my Sophie due to someone else's negligence. Ran into a law enforcement friend who was handling a fighting case & told me the bait dogs would be euthanized as the shelter had no room for them. So, I took Sophie. She was very abused, malnourished & terrified of us. However, after just a few days, her favorite place was my lap :-)
I am a stay-at-home mom & wife, therefore I have nothing but time to work with her. She adapted to a great routine, very quickly. She has turned out to be nothing short of a blessing. Obedient, sweet, loyal & fun. We are still working on simple commands and I enjoy every minute of it!
I also own a mini-rex bunny & a Chinese hamster. I enjoy interacting with them, as well. I also enjoy cooking, crafts & running.
I would post pictures and videos of my sweet girl but I don't know how!
Look forward to chatting!

Written by Melissa Rancourt
TAMPA BAY, Florida -- There have been hundreds of documented exorcisms all around the word. Men, women, and children possessed by evil spirits not of this world.
Even more disturbing, according to published reports, exorcisms are thriving in the U.S.
Archbishop Sherwin Smith of the United Kingdom of Christ fellowship has performed hundreds of exorcisms, many done right here in the Bay area.
In one case, an exorcism took place during a church service.
The man was speaking in voices and had to be restrained by several men. During the exorcism, his eyes remained fixated on the archbishop.
But then, the evil spirit appeared to concede to prayer.
Preparing for an exorcism is detailed and meticulous. Church clergy gather to investigate a case involving a woman named "Mary." Then a decision is made on when and how the exorcism will be done.
Archbishop Smith told us Mary needed an exorcism because of past transgressions. But facing her fear is now her biggest enemy.
This exorcism took place in a quiet, peaceful, and specially prepared room.
Mary appeared relaxed but apprehensive. The exorcist prayed, doused himself with holy water, and prepared to face evil.
It's not long before the prayers begin and the exorcist begins attacking the evil spirit in Mary.
Afterwards, Mary remembered very little. She says, "From the moment I walked out of the room, [there was] lightness in me. I didn't have heaviness."
For Archbishop Smith, another battle with evil had been won, but he knows the war with the Devil is far from over.

NEWPORT CITY – Police and rescue personnel responded to the area around Habanero's Mexican Grill yesterday. What actually happened is a bit unclear.
Newport Ambulance Service responded to the restaurant around 10 a.m., for a report of an unresponsive male in his late 30s. According to scanner reports, the person apparently declined to be transported the hospital. Sources close to the Express state that a local resident found a wallet in a nearby parking lot and turned it over to police.
Police are mum on what actually happened, except to say that they had a call at the restaurant.
"It's an open investigation," said Sgt. Seth DiSanto who becomes Newport's new chief of police Aug. 1. "We did have a call there."

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Newly signed enforcer John Scott was the latest Sabres player to join the unorganized skates at the Northtown Center in Amherst on Wednesday.
More than 100 fans were on hand to watch the players.
Several Sabres players are skating together in Amherst as they prepare for a short training camp and a 48 game season that is expected to begin on January 19th.
The players can't skate with coaches until the NHL lockout is officially over. That will occur after the players ratify the new collective bargaining agreement on Saturday. The owners are scheduled to vote on the deal at 2 p.m. on Wednesday in New York City. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman will hold a news conference at 4 p.m.
Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff says the line-up will remain largely the same along with the additions ofveterans Steve Ott and Jonathan Scott.He didn't rule out trying to put together a scrimmage againstthe Rochester Americans to try to get his players game action in preparation for the fast start to the season.
The Sabres are still waiting on information concerning the schedule for the 48 game shortened season. On Tuesday, team president Ted Black said he thinks the Sabres home opener could be on Sunday, January 20th but as of right now - everything is subject to change.

Downsizing Blog
Number of VA Employees
After my blogpost yesterday about Department of Veterans Affairs spending, my research assistant Nick created the chart below on the number of VA employees. Wow, you don't often see bureaucracies expand that rapidly! A 56 percent increase in just 13 years, from 219,000 to 341,000 employees. The VA has 100,000 new employees just since 2006.
Talking Taxes with Rep. Ralph Hall
Rep. Ralph Hall is in the news for losing to a primary challenger in his Texas district. I first met 91-year-old Hall just last week as we were on a Capitol Hill panel together organized by the Texas Association of Business (TAB). In the photo, that's Hall to my right and Rep. Kevin Brady and TAB head Bill Hammond on my left. (Photo credit: Office of Rep. Hall).
Veterans Affairs in the Federal Budget
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is the fifth largest agency measured by spending. Looking at estimated outlays for 2014, VA spending of $151 billion comes in behind the Department of Health and Human Services at $958 billion, the Social Security Administration at $914 billion, the Department of Defense at $593 billion, and the Department of Treasury (mainly interest costs) at $469 billion. See Table 4.1.
Your Homeland Security Dollars At Work: Tracking 'Occupy'
Two years ago, a thorough, bipartisan Senate report concluded that the federally created information-sharing hubs known as "fusion centers," long billed as a "centerpiece of our counterterrorism strategy," were in fact an expensive boondoggle. Despite being funded by the Department of Homeland Security to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars over a decade, the centers produced no useful counterterror intelligence and often focused instead on local law enforcement matters unrelated to any legitimate national security purpose.
Bush's Big Government Legacy: DHS
In the months and years after the 9/11 disaster, federal policymakers did what they usually do after crises: they increased spending and seized more power. At the Bush administration's urging, Congress created the Department of Homeland Security in 2002 as a complex amalgamation of 22 different federal agencies.
How VA Hospitals Are a Government-run Disaster
The news is shocking: Patients dying on the waiting list for government-provided healthcare. But this is not a report from Canada or the British National Health Service. It's right here in America, in the health system administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Washington Steers Investment Astray
Experience shows that green business subsidies are a green light for misallocation and inefficiency. Subsidy programs seem to prompt company leaders to think:
More Infrastructure? Cut Business Taxes
Infrastructure is in the news as policymakers face a deadline to pass a new highway bill. President Obama visited the Tappan Zee Bridge yesterday and said that "rebuilding America … shouldn't be a partisan issue," and then cast blame on the Republicans.
Cost Overruns Fuel "Transportation Cliff"
Congress is currently debating options to solve the "transportation cliff." Broadly, the federal government spends more on highways and transit than it collects in fuel tax revenue, which has depleted the Highway Trust Fund. One reason for the imbalance is the federal government's inability to control costs on projects. Federal transportation projects frequently go over budget.
Transportation Cliff or Pothole?
Recent news reports have zeroed in on Washington's next "cliff," the "transportation cliff" that is expected to happen when the federal Highway Trust Fund runs out of money sometime this summer. Most of those articles have a hidden agenda: to increase spending for transit even though transit now gets 20 percent of federal surface transport dollars but carries little more than 1 percent of the travel carried by automobiles (about 55 billion passenger miles by transit vs. 4.3 trillion passenger miles in cars and light trucks). This post will explain some of the politics of the transportation cliff.

I love this, that Brian Rice spent 24.5 years in the Navy as an IT Senior Chief (ITCS) and now he is playing college basketball at NCAA Division III Geneva College Golden Tornadoes.
I am guessing Brian is a Senior Chief, because High-Year-Tenure, HYT, for a Chief is 24 years. And he did more time than that. Of course, he could've been a Master Chief, but writers usually would think to include that. Still, getting to Senior Chief is a heckuva career. Go Golden
Tomatoes Tornadoes! (Dayum, now what is that all about? I throw down a nice write-up 'bout the Senior Chief and now I gotta do his team like that. I'll go extra hard in tomorrow's zero five (0500) pt. I owe the Golden Tornadoes that much!)

Dr. Curtis' knowledge is amazing. He is caring and observant. He did brain shunt surgery for NPH, on my 83yr old mother. She had a crisis in the hospital due to an unexpected reaction to a medication, they called him (&the crisis team at St. Johns) he was there IMMEDIATELY. By they time they took her up to the next floor for treatment he was there! He had things under control. He explains what is going on to the patient and also to the family and answers any questions completely. My mother is now 86 and does very well. -- I also went to Dr. Curtis this year for nerve issues in my neck & arm. He is very good to check all probable causes. I got me specific therapy and home machines, that has helped my pain so much I can continue to work and am able to have a better quality of life since I have more control over my pain. I would highly recommend him.

Heading Home to Adultery and Angst; A New Generation of Authors Discovers the Suburbs
By CHARLES McGRATH
Published: April 1, 2004
Like the suburbs themselves, the suburban novel seemed for a while to go out of fashion: too old, too square, too white and middle class. Except for a few die-hards like Rick Moody and A. M. Homes, the younger novelists were apparently moving out and taking up residence in new fictional territory.
They were writing historical novels, like Kathryn Harrison and Brooks Hansen; they were traveling to Eastern Europe and reinventing magic realism, like Jonathan Safran Foer; they were working on brainy, Foster Wallace-style epics; like Alan Furst and Jonathan Lethem, they were working the fertile ground where so-called literary writing intersects with genre fiction; or, like Jonathan Franzen in ''The Corrections,'' they were writing novels in which the suburbs had been abandoned by the young and were inhabited now by the old and the gaga.
No one was left back in the old tree-shaded neighborhoods, a reader could be forgiven for thinking, except for the two Johns: Updike and the ghost of Cheever, gloomily surveying the well-kept lawns and the empty swimming pools and wondering where all the action had gone.
But the suburban novel appears to be back, at least as imagined by a younger generation. These recent novels, especially ''Little Children'' by Tom Perrotta and ''Aloft'' by Chang-rae Lee (a former suburban neighbor and a friend), suggest that there are important stories still to be found in the land of the split-level and the McMansion, the land where many pollsters, as it happens, believe the next election will be won or lost.
These novels and others like them may even tell us a few things the pollsters cannot. They're also a reminder that the American vision of suburbia has been created by novels and stories at least as much as it has been described by them. The suburbs aren't just a place anymore; they're a state of mind.
Suburban fiction is essentially a postwar phenomenon, partly because before the war there weren't that many suburbs to speak of (we still lived in town or on the farm) and partly because it took the postwar economy to create the necessary wealth, upward mobility and corresponding rootlessness to nurture the proper suburban hero. A lot of classic American novels -- from James, say, through Howells and Wharton and even up to O'Hara -- are really novels of manners; they're about arranging marriages, making and losing fortunes, finding your place in the social pecking order.
The suburban hero -- living in Cheever's Shady Hill, Updike's Tarbox or Richard Yates's Revolutionary Estates -- has none of these problems. He's already married (in literary suburbia there are virtually no single people), he's got enough money (or at least no more worries than the next guy) and still he's unfulfilled. He yearns for something else, something more, if only he knew what it was.
Many of the great suburban characters -- like Mr. Updike's Rabbit Angstrom; Cheever's Neddy Merrill, hero of ''The Swimmer''; or Frank Bascombe, the narrator of Richard Ford's ''Independence Day'' -- are frustrated poets of a sort, who see their world, every leaf and shingle and stone-walled cul-de-sac, with almost visionary clarity and sensitivity. That the suburbs shine so brightly in our collective imagination, and look so lovely, is largely because we have seen them through the eyes of people like this, who experience their surroundings (where they never feel entirely at home) with such ardor and sensitivity that they sometimes seem suspiciously like authors themselves (a problem that Mr. Ford neatly gets around by making Frank Bascombe an ex-sportswriter).
''Oh What a Paradise It Seems'' is the title of Cheever's last book, which like much of his writing evokes a town that is more a fabled, mythical place than a real one. But to a certain extent all the famous fictional suburbs -- Mr. Updike's Tarbox and Penn Park; Mr. Ford's Haddam, N.J.; Philip Roth's Old Rimrock -- are earthly paradises, places where the American dream has seemingly come to expensive, landscaped fruition.
Inevitably they're also fallen paradises, plagued (as America itself is plagued, some critics would say) by spiritual emptiness and a sense of collective purposelessness. Alcohol flows through these novels like a seductive potion: not just in Cheever, with his lonely, hungover husbands, but in David Gates's bleak novels ''Jernigan'' and ''Preston Falls,'' in which everyone is either an alcoholic or a druggie or both. And where would the suburban novel be without adultery? The sharp tang of sex is everywhere, an anodyne and occasionally the way to transcendence.
In some sense the suburban novel never quite went away. In recent years there have been sunnier versions: books like Frederick Reiken's ''Lost Legends of New Jersey'' and James Kaplan's ''Two Guys From Verona'' (also set in the Garden State), in which the burbs are less a spiritual condition than the backdrop for more or less ordinary stories of middle-class families.
But in the popular imagination it's the darker view that prevails, the one evoked by Rick Moody's ''Ice Storm,'' say, or by Mr. Roth's ''American Pastoral,'' which was anything but. Out of impatience and frustration, it seemed, A. M. Homes's 1999 novel, ''Music for Torching,'' literally set fire to the whole enterprise, with a Westchester couple who out of boredom and self-loathing burned down their own house and by implication the literary tradition that sustained it.

Before anyone says the reason Chavez is playing instead of Avery is because of the money -- I understand that.
What I fail to understand is that, if the goal is to win this season, why they continue to play Chavez over Avery. Avery would clearly help the team more.
If Duquette and Showalter want to win so badly that they are willing to give up part of the future for pieces to help this season, they should certainly be willing to cut Chavez and his $750,000 for the rest of the season.
If their goal is to win now, Chavez needs to go.

What can I say to people that seem to have their heads in the sand? Wake up? Wake up?
Every tree on this planet that is dead or dying should be removed from the forest and taken to a mill to be processed into lumber for building houses, furniture or even a kids playhouse, not left in the forest to infect the healthy trees.
If the enviros were truly concerned about our forests, I am sure they would agree with this type of thinking, but sadly this doesnt seem to be the case, as every attempt to salvage this vast resource is blocked with injunction after injunction until the timber is not only worthless but all the trees are dead due to infestation or disease.
Doesnt it make more sense to harvest a crop for the good of the people and the forest, rather than to do nothing and watch it all go up in smoke?
In the near future, children will see forests in textbooks or on the computer, but not in the mountains.
The people who live, play, work in the forests should have the right to say what can or cannot be done to help the forest.
The people who sit around in the cities, in their coffee shops, or wherever and condemn others for this or that should instead be asking themselves, what have we done to help the forests?
After looking at the forests one can truly see just what great things the enviros have done for us.
Road closures. So no one can go into the forests (public land) unless they are fit enough. What about the grandparents and grandchildren, the old and crippled and the disabled? Are we not taxpayers with the same rights to visit our public lands?
I could go on and on and will later, but for now the sun is setting on the mountains and as I say good night to them from my back porch, I wonder what can I, one man do to help right this terrible wrong that is befalling our great forests? I need your help people; so please wake up and take a look for yourself what is happening to our forests from Mexico to Alaska.
It needs to be treated like the national emergency it is.
My qualifications for speaking out on this issue are that I grew up in the wooded northwest. Fishing, hunting, camping, gathering mushrooms (edible), berries, firewood, were a big part of my life. Kids today havent a clue what it was like before the great enviros made it so much better.
Back to the point. As a ranch hand, logger, and even tree planter, I learned more about mother nature than any classroom can teach, Ive lived and worked in some of the toughest jobs on the planet and loved it. Through the sun, wind, rain, snow, heat and cold. It was a great life until I was injured and weakened.
So now I feel I owe our forests something for the great memories I have of when I worked and played in a healthy, managed, prosperous, environment. Not the neglected, dying forests, I see before me now, so yes I am going to continue to be a voice, trying to give our once great forests a lot of CPR and TLC.
Who knows, maybe good ole common sense will get revived in the process.

NEWAYGO, Mich. (AP) — A storm that's brought up to 14 inches of snow to parts of Michigan's Lower Peninsula created hazardous driving conditions and prompted hundreds of school closings.
The storm that moved into the state Thursday brought snow Friday in the Detroit area, where roads were slippery for the morning commute.
At least two deaths are being linked to the storm. A Waterford Township man suffered a heart attack while shoveling snow in his driveway. A Hudsonville man suffered the same fate while shoveling in western Michigan.
The National Weather Service says 14 inches of snow was reported in Newaygo, north of Grand Rapids. Other parts of that region and mid-Michigan saw at least 3 inches to roughly a foot of snow.
In Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula, snowfall totals of up to 9 inches were reported.

Taking something great and making it greater-er.
What makes the Snow Peak Snow Miner Headlamp special is that it can function as both a high-power headlamp to light your way at night and as a hanging lantern that can dispense ambient light in a tent, cabin, or yurt. That's right; no more trying to play cards under a headlamp that only lights up one corner of the playing table or tent floor. Advantage: you.
- Simple mechanical bubble design on the front of the lamp lets you convert the unit from headlamp to lantern in nanoseconds
- Integrated hook lets you hang the headlamp from the canopy of virtually any backpacking tent to create ambient light
- High-power, 80-lumen bulb delivers plenty of directional brightness when used in headlamp mode
- Variable dim mode lets you adjust the lighting output to as little as two lumens to save battery power and for use as a night light

Love the dual purpose headlamp
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Being able to switch it lantern mode is awesome. I don't carry a lantern backpacking due to it not being worth the weight, but it's great to have the headlamp take on the role. I love my petzl zipka, but this is really nice too and worth the $ imo. I would buy more of these as gifts for hiking buddies or for anyone who could use a good headlamp. Snow peak has some really innovative designs and this is one of them.
lantern style.
big winner.
press on.
Weekend on the Appalachian Trail
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was pleased with this lamp. The configuration is a little large, so wearing it felt awkward at times, and I had to wear it high on my forehead, but the headband is very comfortable. The housing has a hinge on it and I had to angle the light to work in my field of vision while walking. When hanging a bear bag, mine was the only headlamp that provided enough illumination to see up to the higher tree branches (of course if we hadn't walked so far, we wouldn't have had to use it in the dark). In the 'Lantern' mode, it provided plenty of illumination in the tent for reading and other miscellaneous tasks in the dark.
Bottom line: I would buy it again.
How wide a range of light is thrown by...
How wide a range of light is thrown by this bulb? If you were reading a newspaper with it, how wide a display of light would be available on the page.
It is a pretty wide range. You should be able to read the full page width and about 3/4's of a full page down. Even with that spread, it is an incredibly bright light when on the focused setting. When the lens is away from the bulb, it lit up my whole, 3-man, tent with no problem.
Boy did I really want to like this headlamp. Just about everything Snow Peak does is extremely well thought out. Well, this is- almost. I used this for a weekend backpacking trip and was pretty underwhelmed.
A fundamental problem is that the light is very diffuse, especially on the high setting. You get a halo ring right from the light since the silicone throws the light which, for me at least, caused a light blindness almost. I sure couldn't tell it was 80 lumens since the halo comes into your visual periphery. This is caused by the lack of an effective underside light-deflector combined that the light housing extends further than most headlamps. This makes trail walking at night more tenuous than it needs to be.
As others have mentioned elsewhere, the silicone cover is dust magnet, although it cleans off easy enough. The hook isn't noticeable wearing. The option to power down the lumens is a nice touch. Popping out the 'lantern' is nice and does work great for tent reading, etc.
I will say however for car camping, this might be fine. Even then though, why wouldn't you bring a lantern if you weren't concerned about weight? Perhaps to have a two-in-one gadget- but this just isn't worth it for me. The Petzl Tikka XP 2 seems a better option at the same price point- you get longer battery, plus the ever helpful (for your tent-mates) red light.
Hopefully Snow Peak will go back to the drawing board and improve this. You can see they are on the right track- still a good ways off still though. First thing I've ever had to return to BC- hoping it's easy!
Just my two cents.
I'm with ya. I wanted to like it but I agree the halo comes into your visual periphery. I went back to me Petzl.

Winter carrot soup
Makes 6 servings
This colorful soup makes an elegant first course or light lunch. It's a breeze to make because the ingredients are staples you are likely to have on hand.
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 carrots, coarsely grated
½ cup coarsely chopped onion
4 cups vegetable stock
One 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
Croutons for garnish
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
Combine 1 cup of the stock and the tomato paste in a measuring cup; whisk until smooth. Add to the pot with the remaining ingredients. Cover and increase the heat to high. When the liquid begins to boil, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Advance preparation
This soup will keep for up to 4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator.
When stirring in the stock, add one of the following: ½ cup chopped apple, cooked brown rice, or raw cashews.

My friend gave me a piece of scrap carbon fiber that he made for a race car a few months ago, so I decided to spice up my cook set... .005 foil from ti goatcork lid and mini cotterpin.2 oz ti stakesI still need to drill some really clean air holes, that should lighten it up a little. If I could find some smaller/ lighter stakes I could nest them...Took it out last night and boiled some water for dinner, using 2 coghlan's tablets got a roaring boil before I knew it. It looks like I can use wood as a fuel source too.
Classy, very neat.Cheers
It appears that the windscreen has zero air holes now. Normally I would expect to see a couple of dozen quarter-inch air holes around the bottom. The good news is that if you punch those holes, you will lighten it up by some milligrams.--B.G.--
Thanks very much Roger, and yes Bob I am planning on doing that when I get time.I would like to add that from the top of the fuel tablet to the base of the pot it measures pretty close to 1.25 inches, which is optimal.
Michael,Sweet and simple! Classy indeed. Admirable weight.On the Coghlan's website it says that their fuel tablets are clean burning, easy to ignite, smokeless and odorless.Is that your experience? Was there any soot?I will soon be ordering my Ti foil from Ti Goat but I am searching / researching a heavier duty 1/4" hole punch. ;-?Party On,Newton
I got one of these and works well on all thin metals, Ti will wear the dies after a while, but I have punched several hundred. You can also use smaller punch to make a better alcohol stove in your cat can, several small holes in rows seems to burn faster with out taking up so much fill space in your cat can.http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_16698_16698
Nice set up.
Thanks Rodney,$29.88 to my front door including shipping seems like a decent price.It seems to have great reviews and your recommendation.Is it easy to handle and align with the desired hole placement?Where is it made?Party On,Newton
Thanks for the comments guys, I'll source out a hole punch soon. The Coghlan's tablets are actually way cheaper ($2 for 24 compared to $6 for 12)than Esbit so I use them. When I need a small shot of coffee in the morning 1 should be fine. Then If I need to rehydrate a dinner with 16 ounces+ then 2 tabs will probably work better/ faster.I actually used to use a canister before this idea, and so far I really like the lightness and simplicity. This new setup is about 1/4.5th the weight loaded with fuel for a few days!
John,I put mine in a vise to keep it steady. It has an adjustable guide to help keep holes at set depth.
Thanks RodneyParty On,Newton
Does anyone know if its possible to join the two ends of the windscreen with a weld from a wire feed welder?
Michael,Where did you get the carbon for the lid, and how does it hold up to the heat?
Edited by jumpbackjack on 11/10/2012 00:54:54 MST.
Yes, spot welding of Ti is possible. I have been doing it for a number of years with my (MYOG of course) welder. Takes a little practice, so start on some scraps.Cheers
I got it from someone who made it actually, in his shop, and he just happened to have some extra. The carbon holds up well, and does a good job of holding the steam in. Due to how it rests on the top it is also very stable.Roger, I did indeed try to spot weld first with some scraps, and it just seemed to blast right though both layers of Ti with just a single spark.I will probably try it again soon.Overall I am very pleased with the boil times, but what makes me more happy is the trail weight of this. I can grab this kit and a few solid fuel tabs that will last 3 days and be at about 5 ounces max.
Hi Michael> spot weld first with some scraps, and it just seemed to blast right though both> layers of Ti with just a single spark.Very useful, those scraps!Sounds to me as though you have the spot welder turned up to full power and it is far too much for the thin Ti sheet. What sort of welder is it? A large commercial job? There should be a control knob somewhere, like on an arc welder, to regulate the current. Turn it down.Cheers
For the holes, find a three hole punch and remove one of the punches (one screw). This now single punch will only slide onto the metal by about 1/2", so you can easily get the holes a consistent distance from the bottom without needing a vice. The only measuring needed is to space them out around the circumference. This single punch can be activated with a hammer (one easy tap does it), so you get quick clean holes. I've used this lots with ti windscreens and it works really nice and simply.
I used a regular paper hole punch, it actually worked suprisingly well, once it pierced the titanium. Im still using this setup, I even used it as a wood stove in Hawaii when I ran out of Coghlans tablets.The thickness of the Ti seems to have good structure, its not too thin.
" Does anyone know if its possible to join the two ends of the windscreen with a weld from a wire feed welder? "it's too thin for the MIG (wire feed) process.what you'd want is a TIG welding unit. and a fairly nicer one at that. the better ones can be turned down lower. u-tube has lots of vids on it.it may not worth the expense if you do not have access to TIG equipment, or many many windscreens to make.if it is titanium, then your TIG welding will be more complicated.
