"I have to talk tonight to the Chief Financial Officer about spending part of our tax return on a certain new pack. She was asking me yesterday about what I wanted for my birthday, so.....!"I would tell her you can save significant money with your new UL Pencil solution... if we figure one out here :)
"Whoa Justin, chill! Re-read the thread, all folks having fun and Nick must have too much time between trips."I always feel bad when an ernest fellow or two gets caught in intricately woven tendrils of mock seriousness like those in this thread. However it is mildly entertaining. Online, without voice tones, sometimes it is difficult to tell the difference, and the secret password is how totally ridiculous the postings are. However, as ridiculous as it can get, you will still inevitably get someone like a (to be unnamed) previous poster that seemed furious someone hadn't stopped us. Priceless. On the other hand I have found the level of the mockudrama here is so high that someone is just as likely to post and pretend to be furious! So mocks within mocks. Sorry Justin! Basically we are mocking each other, while at the same time mocking some of the more extreme practices of this cult. Except Nick. From what I can tell, either he is a tiny bit loopy, or he is sometimes so completely committed to character it is impossible to tell - kinda like the Borat of the BL forums.And now all that remains is for some of you to post and inform me how *deadly* serious you have actually been all along, and we can start all over. LOL I have to work in more or less semi-crisis mode all this month, and can't get out for an extended period of time (just when the real backpacking season is starting). This is one of my distractions and entertainments in the meantime. I know...sad.

I will visit there an attempt to research the issue of what type of pencil he used on the trail. Perhaps it can be reproduced as a DIY. What better pencil to use on the JMT! I smell a potential new cottage industry here.John Muir Trail Drawing ^^^Edit: Oh my God! I just remembered! John Muir WORKED in a pencil factory? Holey crap! It can't be a coincidence. Nick you are brilliant.Edit 2: Oh damn, it was Thoreau that made pencils.

During my comprehensive search for the perfect UL Pencil, I found the following were devotees of the Blackwing 602 Pencil; John Steinbeck, Stephen Sondheim, Leonard Bernstein and Chuck Jones (used them to create Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes characters). It is rumored that Hemingway used Blackwings, but it has not been substantiated. However, in "A Moveable Feast," Hemingway had this to say about the pencil:I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write... A girl came in the cafe and sat by herself at a table near the window. She was very pretty with a face fresh as a newly minted coin... I watched the girl whenever I looked up, or when I sharpened the pencil with a pencil sharpener with the shavings curling into the saucer under my drink. I've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, whoever you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil.
Seriously, you need a hike. :)
"Seriously, you need a hike. :) "Leaving tomorrow for a weekend trip, sans pencil.
It is rumored that Hemingway used Blackwings, but it has not been substantiated.He may also have used a pencil but I know I saw a manual typewriter in his writing room when touring his Key West place. (great tour if you get the same tour guide we had ... story telling very reminiscent of Shelby Foote)I doubt Hemingway could have written a better parody ... well done.
Remember, Nick's request was for a JMT specific pencil, not a general backpacking pencil, a JMT PENCIL!!!We're getting away from the JMT specific requirement. The JMT is not the Uintas, Dolly Sods, Wind River.... The requirements are much different and the focus should be as such.Many of us are not interested in general equipment, we only need to know about the JMT.So please keep it on subject!!!
Edited by brooklynkayak on 12/04/2013 16:07:29 MST.
You probably would not want the JMT pencil to be the color of dirt, otherwise, you drop it on the trail and you might never find it. That's why I suggested that Nick paint them some distinctive color.Another color to avoid would be the color of Nick's hair. If he painted them the same color as his hair, he might park the pencil above his ear and lose it completely.A good color would be yellow-luminescent. At least you could find it at night without a flashlight.--B.G.--
Edited by --B.G.-- on 05/17/2013 17:44:28 MDT.
Don't use Green florescent paint - too many algae gave there lives for that - morally repugnant.
"Do pencils off-gas dangerous fumes? Anything I should be looking for?"I have come to this question of the right pencil for the JMT late, and so much has been answered so well. However, the point about dangerous pencil fumes has not yet been addressed. Yes, there are dangerous pencil fumes, and they can be clearly seen when wearing circularly polarized 3D glasses. To save weight the ear pieces can be left behind. The glasses may stay on if you scrunch your face real hard. Do not leave pencils exposed to direct sunlight. Keep them away from the stove when cooking. You'll be ok.And, given your preference not to take electronic items, it would be better to leave your amber beads and amulets at home.
Neophytes!The obvious choice is the Classic Anello Titanium Propelling Pencil for a mere $395US. Classic Anello Titanium propelling pencil with gleaming platinum-plated rings. Durable 0.7mm/B lead, a reservoir for spare leads and a replaceable eraser under the end cap. Spring-loaded clip.http://shop.fabercastell.com/p/classic-anello-titanium-propelling-pencilBut pencils are for the weak at heart, lacking the confidence to use a pen. My Fisher all black bullet space pen is the writing instrument of the wanderer.
"The obvious choice is the Classic Anello Titanium Propelling Pencil . . . ."I don't know how to say this politely. A mechanical pencil is so déclassé, and this one is obviously priced to appeal to the nouveau riche. Por favor!I agree, however, with your choice of the Fisher space pen with this one consideration: ditch the outer pen and carry the cartridge alone. Light!
"....and this one is obviously priced to appeal to the nouveau riche. "Do you think? I felt that way about the titanium Inka pen at $40, let alone this plaything for Wall Street pimps :)As to writing with a bare cartridge, my southpaw handwriting is barely legible using a good ergonomic design on a stable surface, let alone scribbling on a pad propped on my knee or the palm of my hand. I went medical school, but I only made it through the handwriting course :)
"my southpaw handwriting is barely legible"So? If it doesn't matter for MDs, who are entrusted, from time to time, with our lives, it just doesn't matter.But it's not just about you, Dale. It's about the JMT! The JMT does not care about penmanship (or pencilmanship). I asked.
Pencils and pens are for the amateur, for those afraid of their own voices, insecure that their words will not stand the test of time.Personally, I carry stonemason's tools and inscribe monoliths.
I prefer a highly visible yellow golf pencil from some tacky miniature golf course in Kansas. Space Pens can run out of ink, you know. You can sharpen a golf pencil with your teeth...
You can order an advance copy of my forthcoming book, "Pencil or Pen? An In-Depth Analysis of Techniques and Tools For Writing While Hiking." Simon & Schuster, 450 pages.
Picking up on Paul Harvey's famous tagline, "The rest of the story," here is A Pencil for the JMT
"I went medical school, but I only made it through the handwriting course"In the defense of MD penmanship, I can sympathize. Even as an EMT, having to write things like "periorbital ecchymosis" on the pre-hospital care report when all I want to say is "dude has two black eyes" (and am happy when I can spell my own name), I think MD penmanship allows for some Kentucky windage where they can fudge it a bit. Of course I'm not med school material so YMMV.

QLDP was fixed, thanks a bunch.
Metro IE can't use plugins, so use desktop IE, Firefox or Chrome.
Just like all previous versions of windows you HAVE to get graphics card drivers from your manufacturer or you don't get a full openGL ICD.
Anyone on Nvidia or ATI graphics should be fine.
Early Intel HD (core i5 first gen and earlier) owners get particularly shafted by Intel, as intel are saying they won't release drivers other than the ones on windows update for it. And those ones DO NOT have an OpenGL support unlike their win7 drivers.
Some have hacked the beta Intel win8 install inf for the intel HD 3000/2000 and 4000/2500 and got it to work though, Intel are just being lazy / trying to force upgrades.

The Associated Press reports:
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the Obama administration has decided to formally recognize Libya's main opposition group as the country's legitimate government. The move gives foes of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi a major financial and credibility boost.
Clinton announced Friday that Washington accepts the Transitional National Council as the legitimate governing authority of the Libyan people.
Diplomatic recognition of the council means that the U.S. will be able to fund the opposition with some of the more than $30 billion in Gadhafi-regime assets that are frozen in American banks.

Rating: 5 / 5
This thing is awesome. There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, save some anecdotal story attesting the overall prowess displayed by that thar stove... Yep
My rating is actually 4.5 out of 5 (not an option in the drop down box).I really like both units, but I lean towards the Ti-Tri Keg-H system because of its more durable titanium construction and because of the wood burning option. I neglected to mention earlier, but it weighed the same as the aluminum cone at 0.95 ounces, until I added the 0.10 ounce removable door. I gave a rating of 4.5 for both units for two reasons; 1) While the Heineken can is more durable than say a Fosters can, I'm still concerned that it won't last through a several month hike. This of course could be remedied by sending a few extra cans in advance with your mail drop packages. 2) The aluminum cone it is not all that durable, and with the titanium cone, I had to add the removable door to get the unit to be more efficient. (Russ did warn me that this narrow/tall system would be less efficient than a wide/short one). Yes I'm being picky, but a rating 4.5 out of 5 is almost perfect! If your goal is to carry the lightest, and in the case of the Ti-Tri most flexible stove system possible, one of these just might be right for you!See the entire review here
Great little piece of gear. Light, easy to use, miserly on fuel. Keeps the heat in on the pot and does a great job of boiling water. I will complain that it does not let enough heat out sometimes...on a cold morning, it is nice to have some warmth for my hands...well, not a complaint, really. That heat will make me coffee in less time than it takes to pack up my bag.Really well done, but for mine, I find the burner a little to close to the stove for optimum use. (I use a grease pot model.) An extra 1/2" of space works slightly better. The handle holes are probably not needed. But, as a manufactured item, I expect some generic features.The great efficiency really impressed me, though. Save fuel, save weight...simple. The cone does this besides being a windscreen and pot stand. A true UL piece of kit.
I am using the UL Caldera Cone with a MLD 850 pot. I use both alchohol and esbits, though I am using esbits more than I expect to.There are more fuel efficient / lighter stoves like the Ion. There are stoves that will boil your water faster. But there aren't any stoves which combine decent efficiency, compact size (in the case of the UL version which can fit inside the pot), wind protection, and the ease of use of the Caldera Cone. High recommend it.

Stoudemire 2011-12 Highights
Tommy DeeHere's my thing about Stoudemire. There are plenty of highlights there with Melo sharing the ball and with Chandler on the court. This has been an issue, but for me it's not unsolvable. These men are after championships. Yes, we've seen talented teams crumble because of ego and a severe lack of chemistry, but as we always say if Stoudemire can force the defense to respect his air space, like Chris Bosh did this year for the heat, then the Knicks will be a very good basketball team this year. They defend and rebound as a team, but they need good, sound balanced offense and that includes Amar'e getting his touches and capitalizing on them.

Sunday, February 20, 2011At the conclusion of day two of the Atlantic Sun Indoor Track & Field Championships Saturday in Johnson City, the Lipscomb men's and women's teams added 17 personal bests, six school records and four All A-Sun honors.
The women's team led the way, posting a program all-time best fifth place team finish (previous best was eighth) and an all-time high points total of 53 points. The previous best was 18 points which was set last year.
Dani Walker led the way for the Lady Bisons, earning All-A-Sun honors with a pair of third place finishes in the mile and 800 meters. Her mile time of 5:06.87 was also her full mile PR and a new school record, besting her own record set earlier this indoor season.
In the Women's 5000 meters, three Lipscomb women ran faster than the previous Lipscomb school record. Ashley Lehman finished fourth with a time of 17:50.91, Tessa Hoefle finished seventh in 17:57.13 and Catherine Beals finished ninth in 18:03.11. All three were under Susan Worden's previous school record of 18:03.30, set in 2007. Shelby Marvel also ran an all-time 5K PR of 18:17.26, finishing 12th.
Four out of five Lipscomb milers ran new all-time PRs. In addition to Dani, Amanda Twigg ran 5:08.20 to finish fourth, Alyssa Miller ran 5:12.48 to finish fifth and Emily Longden ran 5:17.76 to finish 15th. Priya Pappu just missed a new PR, with a time of 5:16.95 to finish 11th and win her heat.
In the sprints, Sara Stephens ran a new indoor school record of 58.63 for 400 meters, breaking her own record set last year. Rachel Smith set a new school mark in the 200 meters of 26.03. Rachel broke Sara's 200-meter record set last year. Rachel also ran a new PR in the 400 meters of 60.16.
Taylor Mason threw the weight a new personal best of 42-4.
In the women's 800 meters, Katie Bunker finished fifth overall, Alyssa Miller was sixth, Jaimie McFarland was eighth and Amanda Twigg was 10th.
The men finished seventh with 38 points, the second highest point total in school history. The highest total was last year with 49 points.
Dillon Seigenthaller led the way for the men, moving from fourth to third in the men's heptathlon. His third place performance earned him all-A-Sun honors. He also set PRs in the 60-meter hurdles, 1000-meters and posted his best ever heptathlon score. His 60-meter hurdles and heptathlon score were also new school records, besting records Dillon previously set this year.
"I was proud of Dillon in the heptathlon too," Taylor said. " He really fought for his A-Sun honors."
Adam Austin also earned All-A-Sun honors for the Bisons with a third place finish in the high jump.
Tim Muller ran an all-time PR in the 5000 meters of 15:03.05 to finish fifth.
Isaiah Greer posted a new PR of 4:20.90 in the mile.
Tucker Peabody ran a new PR of 6.98 in the 60-meter dash to finish fifth. He finished fourth in the 200 meters.
"It was a great meet for us," said coach Bill Taylor. "A lot of records fell and tons of PRs.
"The women really stepped it up, and I was very happy with our progression in the distance races. We don't focus on the indoor season and just train through it on our way to the outdoor season. So to get so many great marks and PRs is very encouraging to everyone. 'm looking forward to getting on to the outdoor season and building on what we've started."
The Bisons and Lady Bisons will rest next weekend before jumping into the outdoor season a week later at the North Florida Spring Break Invite in Jacksonville.

Archive for the 'rat rod history' tag
Four-Links – Persu Perfect, Mexican Innovator, rat rod history, Minker Motor Co.
* New blogs are always welcome in my RSS reader, and one that I've added this week is DieselPunk, where I came across the above photo of Aurel Persu's Automobilul Aerodinamic Perfect, the rear-engined vehicle on which he refined his aerodynamic principles. I'm gonna dig this blog. (via)
* Our pals at BigLorryBlog tossed this mystery truck over to us in hopes we could provide some details, but all we know is what they provided – that it was spotted at an auto show in Mexico City in September 1992. I'm expecting Hugo90 to know the answer off the top of his head…
* It's an idea whose time has come, apparently: Critically examine the rat rodding phenomenon, not with first-hand reporting, but through the lens of history.

Spring has sprung: are you cleansing?
By Victoria Anisman-Reiner, B.S.c | Leave a comment
I've been asked by at least a dozen people in the past two weeks about cleansing. This article is the result, to explain and introduce the concept of cleansing. I've done perhaps a dozen different cleanses myself, most of them involving supplements. Some have been more intensive cleanses in which I changed the foods I eat (like the one I'm doing now).In every case, I have felt dramatically better after and during the cleanse – I have more energy, I feel happier and more grounded, and my allergy symptoms lessen and go away. Cleansing is a part of every good health regime, for a simple reason: what goes in to our bodies eventually has to come out. We are bombarded every day with stressors and toxins and many of them lodge in our bodies as acid, mucus, or fat. These toxins –from our air, water, food, and our living and work environments – can slow down the body's metabolism and lower immunity, leaving you feeling sluggish, heavy, tired, and ultimately causing illness and disease.

Where should I put the least worn tyre? on the front or the back? This is for XC MTB. Thanks in advance.
The Good or less worn tire should go on the front wheel as indicated in this Sheldon Brown Article on Tire Rotation
Although the article does hint to the fact that you should not be really rotating tires to the front wheel that may have been used on the rear wheel.
Generally you want the best tread on the front, as a front tire skid is much more dangerous than a rear tire skid.
However, I tend to ride my tires until the cord nearly shows, and, given that flats are about 5x more common on rear tires than front tires (and front-tire flats are much easier to fix), I'd be tempted to put the better tire on the rear, to reduce flat potential.
@MrDaniel has a very good answer, however if the bike is used XC MTB a blowout is less of a concern than handling when compared to a road bike, as MTB tires (in true off road conditions) loose performance as they loose tread, unlike a road tire. Your riding style and ground you ride will dictate to some extent what you do. If you have steep, slippery uphills and traction your most important problem, a better tread on the back helps. If control is your problem and you find the front a bit sketchy - then the new one on the front would be better.
If in doubt, don't loose any sleep over it - put it on either the one you are replacing (easy - only one tire change) or the front.
Don't forget that with MTB tires they are all quite different characteristics, build for particular combinations of riding conditions and tradeoffs. Some are designed specifically for back or front, or you change the rotation direction between front and back - therefore it is not as simple as just considering tread wear.
Place the less worn tire on the front. You need very little tread to achieve traction on the rear tire when climbing. Though counter intuitive, tire tread has very little impact on keeping your rear tire from slipping and spinning out on a climb. Maintaining traction is much more about torque, and weight and body positioning on the bike. I intentionally use a rear tire with low worn out center tread to reduce drag and increase rolling efficiency. Center tread on the rear tire may help keep the tail from bouncing and sliding around a bit, but this is not critical in maintaining control.
Very thoughtful considerations, especially directing the thinking towards MTB terrain given that so many folks drive to trails and might not worry about pavement wear and those safety concerns as much.
My knee-jerk reaction to the original question was a more superficial performance thought for a MTB:
If you rely on a knobby tread and encounter sloppy (muddy/wet) conditions with a worn-down rear tire and a newer front tire, you might be better served rotating the newer tire to the drive tire in the rear. It would have to be a pretty bald rear tire to make the swap noticeable though.
If I have two bald tires and only enough money for one tire, I'd definitely replace the back one first if the conditions are sloppy.
