More Info
The Willow Oak is most commonly and accurately described as "handsome." In its natural habitat it is a bottomland tree of the South and eastern coastal plains. It has been planted widely as a street tree from Washington, D.C., southward, growing rapidly under favorable conditions and living longer than many other species. Good crops of acorns are provided annually beginning when the tree is about 20 years old. A mature tree will yield up to two baskets of acorns in a season, making it a favorite food source for squirrels, deer and many kinds of birds.

Wildlife Value:
Willow oak acorns are at the top of the food preference list for whitetail deer, squirrels, wild turkeys, quail and some songbirds. Wood ducks and mallards partake of the acorns when stands of willow oak trees are flooded.
Willow Oak trees are considered some of the most beautiful trees planted in Washington, D. C., a city known for its wonderful tree planting. The lumber has been utilized since pioneer days for interior paneling, newel posts, pulpits, pews, bar tops, wagon axles, stairs, railings, balustrades, bedsteads and flour barrels. The first scientific observation regarding Willow Oak trees was made in 1723.

There's a serious side to travelling through the amazing Australian outback. Be well prepared and you will have a great holiday. Trust us, you need the following.
Plan your trip. If you plan on camping, please use gas stoves because firewood is scarce. You'll also need a Desert Parks Pass. Due to the high temperatures in the outback, the cooler months of May to October are the best times to travel.
• Always carry plenty of water with you.
• Tell someone your travel plans and when you expect to return.
• It's a good idea to always wear a hat, shirt, sunglasses and SPF30+ sunscreen.
• Download the handy 4x4 Driving and Repeater Towers brochure. It contains detailed information on outback routes, four wheel driving (4WD) safety, radio etiquette, notes from farmers and other helpful tips.
• Get advice on the terrain, conditions and safety requirements. Contact South Australia's Royal Automobile Association (RAA) before leaving. Drop into Visitor Information Centres along the route.
• Take frequent rest breaks and change drivers regularly.
• Be aware of how close you are to facilities and services (fuel, water, medical).
• You are sharing the road with everyone, from cyclists to road trains (trucks and lorries). Be considerate of other vehicles and prepare for wind turbulence from the large trucks. Allow a lot of room to overtake trucks, they are massive and can't stop quickly. Don't make them attempt to!
• Watch out for livestock and wildlife as they often stray onto the road.
• Avoid driving at sunrise and sunset when animals are most active.
• Dust from dirt roads can obscure your vision. Slow down or stop until the dust settles.
• Obey road closure signs and stick to the main roads.
• If you encounter gates, they should always be left as they were found. Open gates should be left open and closed gates should be closed after passing through them.
• Avoid tracks that are for private use only or that are not marked on maps.
• Take care when travelling in remote areas during summer. Temperatures in outback Australia can reach over 40°C (104°F).
• Carry extra supplies of water and food. Carry extra spare tyres, tools and plenty of fuel.
• Hire appropriate emergency communication equipment e.g. satellite phones, High Frequency (HF) radio.
• In an emergency, stay with your vehicle.
Call 000 for emergency fire, police and ambulance assistance throughout Australia or if a crime is in progress. From mobile phones, it's 112. For non-emergency police attendance, call 131 444.
Routes vary from excellent sealed roads like the Stuart Highway to the roughest of bush tracks. The Birdsville Track, Strzelecki Track and Oodnadatta Track are among the best four wheel drive (4WD) journeys in the world and provide excellent access to the Northern Territory and Queensland. Be aware that seasonal conditions change the terrain of the roads from smooth sandy tracks to corrugated, stony and rocky crossings.
If you're unsure of any aspect of your holiday planning, call one of the Visitor Information Centres. Take a list of the numbers you will need with you too.
Here are some great ideas for you to try while you're in the area.
There are plenty of events on in the Flinders Ranges. Here are some ideas you might like.

LOWVILLE Lewis County Legislators will consider a merger of two county departments, creating a new one to oversee what would then become the former reforestation department and recreational trails department.
Recreational trails coordinator Jacqueline L. Mahoney will be named the head of the new Parks and Recreation Department, it was discussed at last weeks economic development committee meeting.
Her degree in forestry and extensive experience in timber management will help with a smooth transition of the departments, said Legislature Chairman Michael A. Tabolt, R-Croghan.
As the departments have worked together in the past, the phrase they will form a good marriage makes sense, he said.
The reforestation department has operated without a department head since the retirement of Rodney Buckingham earlier this year.
In order to assist with the demands of a larger department, Eric J. Virkler, director of the county Department of Economic Development and Planning, said part of the newly hired planners duties will be to help the department with writing grant applications.
The merger requires the passing of a local law. A public hearing on the matter is expected to be scheduled for the Dec. 3 meeting.

Critics of carbon taxes, currently one of the most popular schemes for legally relieving people of their hard-earned money, are often dismissed as crazed doomsayers for suggesting that levies on carbon dioxide emissions — supposedly to save the planet from "global warming" — will have dire economic consequences for those subject to them.
The doomsayers, however, now have real-world evidence to back up their contentions. Australia instituted a carbon tax in the middle of 2012, and already it "is contributing to a record number of firms going to the wall with thousands of employees being laid off and companies forced to close factories that have stood for generations," according to News Limited Network.
Over the last 12 months, 10,632 Australian companies have gone belly up, a number that is "more than 12 per cent higher than during the global financial crisis," News Limited writes.
Experts say the strong Australian dollar is a major factor in these closures, but the carbon tax certainly isn't helping.
"Australia has been taxing carbon emissions since July 1 of last year at a rate of $23AUD per ton," reports the Daily Caller. "The system will become a full-blown cap-and-trade scheme in three years and will be integrated with the European cap-and-trade system."
The tax has already hiked the cost of electricity to the average family by 10 percent. For businesses, which use much more energy, it's even worse.
Grant King, head of Origin Energy, "said that up to 30 per cent of small and medium sized enterprises' electricity bills stemmed from carbon pricing and other green schemes," according to another News Limited report.
"There's no doubt the carbon tax is driving higher electricity prices for businesses across the state," Mike Baird, treasurer for the state of New South Wales (NSW), told News Limited.

Class of 1990
Quarterback >>> 6-1, 190
1967-1980 Miami Dolphins
Robert Allen Griese ... All-American at Purdue ... No. 1 draft pick, 1967 ... Poised leader of classic ball-control offense ... Led Miami to three AFC titles, Super Bowl VII, VIII wins ... NFL Player of the Year, 1971 ... All-Pro twice, All-AFC three times ... Played in two AFL All-Star games, six AFC-NFC Pro Bowls ... Career Stats: 25,092 yards, 192 TDs, 77.1 rating passing; 994 yards, 7 TDs rushing ... Born February 3, 1945, in Evansville, Indiana.
Bob Griese, a two-time All-America at Purdue, was the Dolphins' No. 1 draft choice in their second year in 1967. He enjoyed an excellent rookie season with 2,005 yards and 15 touchdowns passing and, for the remainder of his Hall of Fame career, he was the poised leader of a classic ball-control offense that generated an awesomely efficient running attack, three AFC championships in 1971, 1972 and 1973 and victories in Super Bowls VII and VIII.
In the 1970s, the 6-1, 190-pound quarterback led the Dolphins to nine winning seasons. In several of his finest performances, Griese used the pass only sparingly. But when the defenses clogged up the Miami runners, Bob quickly and efficiently opened things up with his accurate aerials.
In Super Bowl VII, for instance, only 11 of Miami's 50 scrimmage plays were passes but Bob's eight completions accounted for one touchdown and set up the second. In Super Bowl VIII, the rush-pass ratio for Miami was a startling 53-7 with Griese completing six of his seven passes. The Dolphins won easily. In 14 seasons, Griese threw 3,429 passes, completing 1,926 for 25,092 yards, 192 touchdowns for a 77.1 career passing rating. He also rushed 261 times for 994 yards and seven touchdowns.
Honors came frequently for Griese. A six-time Dolphins MVP, he was named All-Pro in 1971 and 1977, and All-AFC four times (1970, 1971, 1973, and 1977). He played in two AFL All-Star games and six AFC-NFC Pro Bowls. His success came in spite of numerous injuries that constantly plagued him. During Miami's perfect 1972 season, Bob missed eight games but returned in time to lead his team to wins in both the AFC title game and Super Bowl VII.

PARISHVILLE - A Vietnam veteran who would have been in the Parishville-Hopkinton Class of 1970 had he not left school and ended up in the Navy received his high school diploma this week in a small ceremony prior to the start of a board of education meeting.
David P. Taylor of Parishville said he heard about Operation Recognition through a contact at the New York State Department of Labor ,who told him that veterans who served in Korea and Vietnam during the combat years but didnt earn high school diplomas were eligible to do so through this program.
While Mr. Taylor was drafted into Navy, he said he has no regrets and is proud of his service to our country.
Mr. Taylor also said in todays world, which is significantly different than it was in the late 1960s and early 70s, everyone should stay in school and receive a diploma.
I was proud to serve, and I think all teens should really stay in school and get their high school diplomas, he said.
Board of education President Ward H. Remington presented Mr. Taylor with his diploma in front of a small crowd that included Mr. Taylors wife, Colleen, as well as his daughter, Amanda Butterfield, and her three children.
Mr. Taylor, who worked as a union contractor for 25 years, actually worked on building an addition on the school, giving him the unique distinction of helping to build the school where he earned his high school diploma.
I worked on the school for Phil Collins when they built the auxiliary gym, he said.
While in the Navy, Mr. Taylor served aboard the USS Midway with Attack Squadron 93. The massive ship, which Mr. Taylor said was commissioned in September 1945 weighed 64,730 tons and had more than 200,000 horsepower.
Mr. Taylors service in Vietnam included time spent in the Gulf of Tonkin. He was awarded a National Defense Medal, Republic of Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal with device and a First Good Conduct Medal.
While Mr. Taylor declined the opportunity to participate in the districts annual commencement ceremony this June, Superintendent Darin P. Saiff introduced him as the first member of the districts class of 2013.
It means a lot to me. I was pretty proud, Mr. Taylor said, wearing a USS Midway cap instead of a mortar board.
Following the presentation of his diploma, Mr. Remington congratulated Mr. Taylor and thanked him for his service.
Ive known you many years, and I would like to say thank you on behalf of our community and school district, he said.
Later when given the opportunity, Mr. Taylor returned those thanks.
I would like to thank the school for everything theyve done, he said.

Campari Cocktails
Posted 25 March 2005 - 11:03 AM
In any case, the new Cocktailian column by Gary Regan contains a tasty looking recipe for something he calls the Romanza, so I have purchased some Campari.
Now I'm looking for some other eGullet tested recipes using Campari. Please suggest your favorites.
Adapted from a recipe by bartender Jacques Bezuidenhout at Pesce restaurant in San Francisco.
1 3/4 ounces Campari
1 1/4 ounces Grand Marnier
1 ounce fresh grapefruit juice
1 orange twist, for garnish
Fill a cocktail shaker two-thirds full of ice. Pour in Campari, Grand Marnier and grapefruit juice. Shake for approximately 15 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add the garnish.
Posted 25 March 2005 - 11:42 AM
The Jasmine from Harrington's book is also a good one to try (1.5 oz. gin, .25 oz. Cointreau, .25 oz Campari, .75 oz lemon juice) -- the Campari isn't as pronounced as in the Negroni, but it's very good.
For anyone in the SF area, Pesce is a good choice for serious cocktails. Jacques is a very nice guy and a fabulous bartender.

2 oz Campari
1 oz fresh blood orange juice plus one muddled slice of blood orange
1/2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
splash of simple syrup
Shake with ice a strain into cocktail glass. Top with about 1 1/2 oz Moscato d'Asti.
The campari is really highlighted here and the dessert wine gives it the effervescence ad sweetness it needs for balance.
Posted 25 March 2005 - 08:20 PM
First off, it is important to note that Campari is a fairly "your first sip will be horrid" sort of thing. I distinctly remember the first time I tried Campari. I was flying international "first class", and realized that booze was free. So I looked at the selection and saw thing thing "Campari" on the list. I recall having heard of it, but had never had it.
When the stewardess asked what I wanted, I simply responded "I'll have some Campari".
"Do you want that with soda, tonic, or just plain water."
"Nothing, I'll just take it straight."
I should have realized that her quizical glance should have been taken seriously.
I poured the little mini-bottle of Campari into the glass she gave me, and took a siip.
Wooo Nelly! Was THAT a rude awakening. The dedicated individual that I am, I faithfully sipped the entire glass, hating virtually every moment of it.
Thankfully, I realized that this "was" an apparently respected spirit, and so must have "some" redeeming qualities.
I made it a point, from then on, to ask at any bar I happened upon, if the bartender knew of a "good" drink that used Campari... I tried various Negronis, Americanos, etc. At first, each of them were almost, but not quite, as disgusting as my first sip of Campari... then gradually, I noticed that I was picking up some additional tastes and complexities in this strange and bitter beverage. Now, I can easily drink it straight, and absolutely -love- a great Campari based drink.
For the uninitiated, the first drink I'll use to introduce them to what Campari is all about, is the Jasmine (as already mentioned by JAZ)...
1 1/2 ounces gin
1 ounce Cointreau
3/4 ounce Campari
1/2 ounce lemon juice
Shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.
If you like grapefruit juice, you'll love the Jasmine.
Another absolutely fabulous drink, is the ChamPino, by Audrey Saunders...
1 ounce Campari
1 1/4 ounce Sweet Vermouth
2 ounces Champagne
Shake campari and sweet vermouth with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass and top with champagne. Garnish with a lemon twist.
and then...
Champagne Flamingo
3/4 ounce vodka
3/4 ounce Campari
5 ounces chilled champagne
Shake vodka and Campari with ice. Strain into a champagne flute and top with champage. Garnish with a zest of orange.
followed by...
Old Pal
1 ounce rye or bourbon whiskey
3/4 ounce dry vermouth
3/4 ounce Campari
Stir with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
1 1/2 ounce Tequila
1/2 ounce Sweet Vermouth
1/2 ounce Dry Vermouth
1/2 ounce Campari
dash of bitters
Stir with ice. Stir with ice, strain into an iced filled Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with lemon twist.
This short list should definately give you plenty of reasons for buying a case of Campari... :->
Posted 26 March 2005 - 11:10 AM
Thanks Janet, Julia, and Robert! Those look like some tasty drinks to try.
You're looking for an excuse to pick up some Campari? Wow... where do I start :->
I enjoy bitter flavors in food, beer or cocktails. Love broccolli raab and grapefruits. I picked up some grapefruit and gave the Romanza a try yesterday. I liked the flavors; but, Woo! Talk about an adult lollipop! Way too sweet for me.
I think if I were to make the drink again I would cut the liqueur and campari in half and replace that volume with vodka.
PS. I see on some websites a mention of a "sweet" version of Campari. How do you tell the difference? I bought the only one they had for sale.
edited to clarify a bit and ask about "sweet" Campari.

I picked up some grapefruit and gave the Romanza a try yesterday. I liked the flavors; but, Woo! Talk about an adult lollipop! Way too sweet for me.
What kind of grapefruit did you use? It's my understanding that most cocktail recipes call for white grapefruit (tart and slight bitter). I made a pair of Romanzas today and they were hardly sweet--adult all the way through!
As an aside, the "star ruby" and "rio red" grapefruit varieties were created by irradiating ruby red grapefruit seeds at Brookhaven National Laboraties: http://www.bnl.gov/b...tory/fruits.asp
Posted 27 March 2005 - 10:00 PM
The story makes me laugh because I too, felt the same way. I was 20 years old in London and it was the first time I was in Europe. I went to the movies. There was a commercial for Campari, with beautiful Europeans drinking and laughing...
First off, it is important to note that Campari is a fairly "your first sip will be horrid" ...
so my next stop was a bar and I ordered "Campari, please...." I thought I'd wretch. Now, I cannot do without a Negroni, it's so delicious. Campari is certainly an acquired taste.
Posted 27 March 2005 - 10:17 PM
Fill a cocktail shaker with Campari, ice and a splash of Gin. Shake, strain and serve in a Martini glass.
This is very popular cocktail in Italy.

Keep trying. One time, and I can't say when, you will start to crave that bitter taste.
I tried Campari for the first time the other day...it tasted really good...until i swallowed...wow! what an evil bitter taste.. Eeeeeeeh!

The bottom line, though, is that for most Americans, Campari is a taste that has to be acquired. American tastes tend mostly toward the sweet side of the spectrum, or to mostly-sweet-with-some-sour. Americans, by and large, do not enjoy or appreciate bitter flavors. Italians, on the other hand, love bitter flavors. Hence the popularity of radicchio and bitter greens, bitter soft drinks like Chinotto, and the whole family of amari both as aperitivo (Campari, Cynar, etc.) and digestivo (Fernet Branca, Averna, etc.).
Here's a thought: try a swig of Fernet Branca before having a Campari soda. Relatively speaking, the Campari soda will seem hardly bitter at all.
It might make an interesting thread to talk about beverages and foods that one makes a conscious effort to acquire despite not being attracted to it, or perhaps even disliking it, on the first try.
Posted 28 March 2005 - 08:47 AM
I really like that idea. What is interesting about Campari, is that I think after the first taste, expectations are leveled, and then next time for some unknown reason, it tastes good. Sam, why don't you start the thread? I'll add my Moules story.

Old Pal

3/4 ounce dry vermouth
3/4 ounce Campari
Stir with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Aside from the old standby, the Negroni, I've come to really love the Old Pal. It's a marvelously nuanced cocktail. I found it a while back during a session scouring Robert's DrinkBoy.com site (an essential cocktailian resource, I tell you).
My current favorite Campari drink comes by way of "Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails" --
Lucien Gaudin Cocktail
Stir in mixing glass with ice & strain
1 oz gin (3 cl, 1/4 gills)
1/2 oz Cointreau (1.5 cl, 1/8 gills)
1/2 oz Campari (1.5 cl, 1/8 gills)
1/2 oz dry vermouth (1.5 cl, 1/8 gills)
Serve in a cocktail glass (4.5 oz)
I love the mouthfeel of this -- so unexpected in a Campari/gin cocktail. The Cointreau gives it a silky, round texture, and makes a great sweet foil for the bitter backbone of Campari.
There's ALWAYS an excuse for Campari!

Tried a Negroni tonight after finishing up the prep for dinner.
Well, the classic Campari drink is probably the Negroni ( here's an earlier thread on that topic).
My! What a tasty simple yet complex drink! I went with equal portions of Plymouth Gin, Campari, and Noilly Pratt Sweet Vermouth shaken with ice and served up. Could definitely see these becoming addictive. The interplay of smells is so great.
(The problem with really good drinks, is they distract me from trying others! Got stuck on Vespers for a couple weeks after that thread here on egullet. I am, or should I say, my liver, is only mortal!)

This however has been greatly enjoyed right off the bat:
muddle half a lime with a small dash of sugar syrup and a handful of tarragon. pour in
1/2 oz campari
1/2 oz sambuca
1 1/2 oz gin
add crushed ice (the crushed ice filters out the potential for getting a big mouth full of herbs) and top with soda water.

Hey, thanks for this idea. Like others, it seems, I found Campari to be a pretty overwhelming ingredient. I've given Negroni a couple tries and didn't really enjoy them all that much. This thread gave me enough ideas that I've been meaning to try a couple of them and give Campari another shot but I didn't get around to it until the other night when I gave your drink a shot. I really liked it. The first sip reminded me just how strong a flavor Campari has but the lime juice tempers it nicely and as the drink blended I enjoyed it more and more. Kinda weird though how I kept tasting grapefruit without any grapefruit juice in the glass. Thanks again. This is a damned tasty and refreshing drink.
I just reread this thread and realized that no one had suggested adding a healthy squeeze of lime to their Campari and soda. This is, I believe, the superior summer beverage, and the lime plays nicely with the bitterness in the Campari. Squeeze three-quarters of a lime into the soda and pour on the Campari, then toss in the last lime quarter. Bliss.

I was gearing up to post exactly the same comment. My recipe: take a highball glass; add 5 or 6 ice cubes; squeeze all the juice from a big quarter lime into the glass and throw the wedge away; squeeze most of the juice from another quarter lime and drop the wedge into the glass; pour in Campari until slightly more than 1/3 up the side; top with Schweppes club soda. The first Campari soda of the year marks my official start of summer. The synergy between lime and Italian bitters is not limited to Campari, however; a squeeze of lime is de rigeur in my Punt e Mes. Or was. Punt is no longer on sale at the SAQ...

Had my first Old Pal this weekend. The recipe I used, courtesy of Murray Stenson, called for equal parts of bourbon, dry vermouth and Campari. I couldn't really taste anything but the Campari. I'll have to try it again using Robert's recipe. It was surprising that even Makers Mark couldn't compete with the Campari.
Posted 13 July 2005 - 02:16 PM
I do have to say, though, that when I know some serious eating is on the cards for the evening, that campari and soda is the only way to start. (I must try that Valentino, though!)

I have been watching the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. As with all other nominations before her, it is a political circus.
It isn't even necessarily about the nominee. It is about who nominated them and what their (the president in power at the time) political views are. Even though the Supreme Court is our third branch of government in a triangle of checks and balances, there is always speculation when the country shifts its leanings to the right or to the left, if the standing president can have a shot at shifting the court with it.
Since the chance to do that only arrives if a justice steps down or dies when a president is in office, there are no guarantees of that prize. Obama got the chance very early in his administration while his support in Congress is still pretty strong.
The nomination will go through because there are enough votes to approve her.
In my opinion, the Supreme Court needs to have justices who have views that lean to the right and some that lean to the left. They need to show that they have a firm knowledge of applying existing laws despite their leanings.
When you get a group of individuals together like that who are tasked with taking a hard look at the issues that sometimes confuse and divide our country, then good legal precedence can come out of the process. Isn't that what our fore fathers envisioned?
I doubt they wanted to have a system that could be so stacked with one political, religious or moral view that the laws could be written that don't truly look at any view point but one.
When there has been rulings that I have a strong interest in, I want to understand why the courts rule as they do. Not only do I read the opinions of the majority, but I am interested in the opinions of those justices that disagree with the majority opinion.
If the issue is one that I agree with the ruling, reading the dissenting opinion makes me see the opposite side a little clearer. Even in the last ruling that over turned a decision about race and equal opportunity laws written by Sotomayor, the ruling was not unanimous.
So the fact the Democrats get a chance to replace a left leaning judge with another left leaning judge is not a bad thing. Republican presidents have had chances to replace right leaning judges with right leaning judges as well.
I know one thing and that is I would not want to be burdened with the responsibility that goes along with being a judge at any level. Every day they must weigh facts and make decisions that affect people's lives.
To all the judges out there, I know that you are second guessed, swore at and hated. I also know that most of you have people out there whose lives have been helped and protected by the decisions you make. Thanks

I recently bought this tent for a trip through New Zealand. I also purchased the inside liner and it was $250 total. I do not use trekking poles, so I've been setting it up with stakes, but I have tried it at home with poles, and was amazed at the stability.Pros:*Light at 48oz with liner and stakes*Floor comes up a few inches on the sides to keep water out*Bug netting for protection*Doors and vestibules on BOTH sides (no crawling over someone to get out!)*Good fit for 2 people (unlike many 2-person tents)Cons:*Stuff sack is huge, use a compression sack instead*Slightly flimsy, heavy winds might be a problem since there is only the one main pole*The plastic in the vents to hold them out does not keep shape after being packed in a compression sack*The sides do not go quite all the way to the ground - this is not a problem for rain protection since it goes beyond the floor, but wind comes through. It would be fine for summer as a vent but not great in colder conditionsI was looking for something resembling a regular tent but reducing the weight and this was great for that.
With only one review for the rainbow, I had to put my 2 cents in here.Adding on the above post.Straight out of the box (tent, stuff sack, stakes etc.) and thrown on a scale, mine comes in at 40.55 oz. Quality is outstanding and has held up well to my abuse.Primary use is for 3 season camping with my girlfriend and solo winter use. If pitched properly, and site selected with care, this is a very versatile shelter. I have not experienced condensation in the summer months – winter use shows significant frost on the inside of the shelter. Open the doors and shake it out. Nice length for a 6'2.5" person, a winter bag, and plenty of gear.Dual door/vestibules, great ventilation, easy setup (freestanding option), and a light weight make this my top pick for a 2 person tent. 5 stars all the way!
DR in the snow!Its a great lightweight 2 persons tent.First i like the headroom and 2 larges entries .My wife and i are not tall ( 1,74 and 1,60) so we have room at our feet for some equipementIt is very easy to set up, with doors closed or open as a "porch" when climate permits for more ventilation.I had some condensation as i expected, but there is enough headroom and the wall are verticals enough so i dont touch them while sleeping and i can easily wipe the condensation if i wake up during the night.edited : now the link works :)

This is my favourite tent, BUT we have had to make a LOT of modifications to it to get it this way. Ours is the original version, and I think Henry has fixed a lot of these problems on newer models which would make it a 5...Room fo both of us AND still has enough footroom for our small dog and his foam mat :)Extended rain porch (a DIY job) adds enough coverage for two extra people sleeping in bivys in a pinch. Added guy line tie outs and centre pole grommets allow trekking poles to add additional support in strong winds. Awesome amount of space when porches are deployed. Plenty of room to cook out of the rain (of course this is not officially endorsed by the manufacturer). Like all single wall tents, it's prone to condensation in cool calm weather, but there's enough headroom that you don't have to brush up against the condensation. The optional liner didn't work well for us...it just channeled the condensation to the edges of the tent where it overhangs our sleeping bags and drips on them. But the liner does reduce heat gain on hot sunny days. We have used it in gale-force winds, and with plenty of staking, it holds up fine. I'm talking 12-14 stakes and extra guylines. The tent only came with 4 stakes, which isn't enough unless you use the freestanding trekking pole set up with no or light winds. We cut this option off our tent as we would never use it. For the weight, this is a choice 2-person 3+ season tent. If it were available in Spectralite or similar spinnaker fabric, I would definitely buy another one!
My wife and I have been using a Double Rainbow for about a year now, and aside from it being a little too narrow in some instances, we give it a 5.The BPL review and previous reader reviews are accurate in our experience, so I'll just share one story. We were on our honeymoon in Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, camping at one of those remote sites on the older lava flows where the huge slope of Mauna Loa meets the sea. The tent was really tested when the trade winds came overnight, blowing strong enough to press the top of the tent--the apex of the curved pole--against our faces while lying down several times through the night. Wondering how the one-pole design would stand-up to these winds, we could only laugh as the tent snapped back into place again and again. (We do not have the optional extra ridge pole guy lines.)The seams and craftmanship of the tent were also put to the test, as the walls were absolutely covered in those big Hawaii cockroaches all night--without a breach.
Just to add some to the above reviews:Wind: Hadn't had a chance to use in the extreme wind but contemplating taking this tent on a winter trip. The new version has standard tieouts on the sides plus you can utilize your poles for extra stability.Poles as freestanding: never had to use this setup as stake setup provides the most tention.Guylines: Doesn't come with extra so make sure you get your own line for the porch setup and other more versatile setups. the tent comes with very short guylines.Floor: make sure to tie the sides of the floor to the stakes - it makes the floor more tub-like.Seamsealing: is the pain..don't make your own sealant, buy the silnet. I ruined my cell phone by not tieing up my acetone bottle correctly and placing in the same backpack pocket.Leaking: your tent will leak at the seams if you don't seamseal the seams, especially the ones on the side of the tent in the area where velcro door ties are sewn in. Those leaked in the rain, but i didn't seamm seal the tent. Make sure to seam seal if you expect rain. Space: is amazingly large, very nice for two people.Assembly: quick and easy - great feature.Condensation: compared with our predecessor, double walled SD Clip Flashlight, there is no major difference. Both experience fairly the same amount of condesation in various conditions (we live in WA state). so no need to buy inner tent wallls.Stakes: don't use the provided stakes (they are fragile) but get a set of thin titanium stakes instead.I would give it a five if not for 1. extra guyline 2. seam sealing and 3. better stakes.
I got to finally test my 2010 updated Double Rainbow on Superior Hiking Trail last weekend.There is enough room for two 6'1" 220lb guys sleeping head to toe. The vents at each end and the option to raise the bathtub floor is great.Setup was extremely fast. It would only take me a minute or so.The zippers are very tiny so I added some reflective cord to make it easier to zip.A few minor things I would change.I felt the bathtub floor could be higher around the doors. There seems to be too much mesh on the door sides which cause the floor to lay flat close to the ground.The Vents do not stick out as much as the earlier version of the Double Rainbow and restricts air movement.The cross strut at the top could be longer so the mesh walls are more vertical. I noticed I would be touching the mesh when I was sleeping.The interior pockets could be sewn into the mesh walls not just hanging because if two are sleeping in the tent, items in the pocket would hit your head or feet.
I bought this a few years ago. This was the first single wall I liked. We bought a SMD Lunar Duo and didn't like it so we went with this one. I use this as my solo tent so that I can have my stuff with me inside the tent. I have seam sealed this tent a couple of times, once the wrong way but it has worked itself out. Never had any condensation issue once the tent was seam sealed properly, my fault. I used it on a couple of cold nights in the whites. I put it up on a tent pad with guy lines and it was great. No issues. When I set it up on the ground, I like the additional vestibule space that can be made with the doors, especially if its raining outside a little. If the bugs aren't bad, Ill just hangout in the doorway setting up my sleeping stuff and just getting my stuff organized. I don't really carry much "stuff". I keep things pretty simple in my pack and this tent is the perfect shelter for long distance hiking. Like I said, I like it as a solo tent. My wife still doesn't like the single walls so this is my tent for part of my e2e this summer.

|Fonseca Named Interim Superintendent
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 14 May 2013 16:00
It was evident as the Watauga Board of Education met with the Watauga County Commission over budget issues last week in a budget work session, that Assistant Superintendent Dr. David Fonseca handled the financial issues brought up by the commission and presented the school's case well,
according to the board members after the session. So it is not too surprising that Fonseca has been named interim superintendent for the Watauga County Schools effective June 1st for a term of a year while the board decides on a more permanent replacement for soon to be former superintendent Dr. David Kafitz. Kafits' official tenure with the Watauga schools will end May 31st, in an agreement assuring his departure without legal action after several incidents in the county. The appointment was approved by the Watauga County Board of Education Monday night and is effective through June 30th, 2014, according to the schools release.
Board Chair Dr. Lee Warren said, "The Board of Education has been very impressed by how Dr. Fonseca is handling his additional responsibilities during this time of transition in our schools," and said, "He is clearly a highly qualified and well respected educational leader who has built strong relationships with the Board, with school system personnel, and throughout our community. We are fortunate to have him as assistant superintendent and we look forward to working with him as interim superintendent."
Dr. Fonseca said "I am honored that the Board has chosen to entrust me with this additional role. I pledge to continue to work with the Board, with teachers and other school personnel, with students and parents, and with all of our community partners to further strengthen this excellent school system. Educational leadership is a path to service, not a seat of power, and I will do everything humanly possible to help our schools keep students and teachers first in all that we do."
Dr. Fonseca came to the Watauga County Schools from his previous position as assistant superintendent of instructional services for the Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools. Prior to accepting that position, he was the principal of H.M. Arndt Middle School in Catawba County Schools from 2008-2011, served as an assistant principal in Gaston County, and was a school administrator for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. He began his career in education in Lincolnton, NC in 1992 and his classroom experience includes teaching positions at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. In addition to his work as a teacher and administrator, Dr. Fonseca has also coached middle school and high school soccer and basketball.
Dr. Fonseca earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Veracruz in Veracruz, Mexico, a master's degree in school administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and a doctoral degree in educational leadership from Appalachian State University. He has also participated in several school leadership programs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and completed the Leadership Institute for Superintendents at Harvard University in March of last year.
The Watauga County Schools system includes eight schools serving elementary and middle school students and one comprehensive high school for grades 9-12. The total system enrollment is approximately 4,500 students.

Video: Lancaster Man Gets Probation In Fatal Crash
Video: Lancaster Man Gets Probation In Fatal Accident
BUFFALO, NY-- A Lancaster man who hit and killed a Depew teenager last July avoided jail time and was sentenced to probation Wednesday.
Radames Candelaria got one year probation from the judge.
Candelaria admitted he fell asleep at the wheel and and hit 18-year-old Ashley Creighton, who died of her injuries.
Creighton was waiting for a bus near the intersection of Broadway and Penora when she was hit and killed.
Candelaria stood just feet from the victim's family members as he was sentenced Wednesday.
"He apologized," said Gail Thompson, Ashley's guardian. "I told him I have to forgive him so I can stop feeling dead inside. My mind don't want to forgive him, but my heart has to, so I can go on."
As Candelaria left court, he told reporters he "felt horrible" about what happened.
In addition to probation, Candelaria will also have to pay $1,100 in vehicle and traffic fines.
The punishment may seem light because Candelaria admitted to reckless driving, which is an unclassified misdemeanor, which is not defined by the law.
Thompson said she felt the sentence was fair considering current state law, but she and Ashley's other family members would like to see the law changed. They'll be pushing for tougher penalties for drowsy drivers.
Currently, there is a bill pending in Albany that would create a new law called "vehicular homicide caused by driving while ability impaired by fatigue." Someone convicted of the crime would face up to 3 years in prison. This bill is in the Assembly.
Also, lawmakers in the Senate are debating whether to create an aggravated reckless driving law, punishable of one year in jail or three years probation. Republican State Senator Mike Ranzenhofer has signed onto it, in addition to Senators Tim Kennedy and George Maziarz.
"I think the whole bill could possibly fail, which I don't want to happen, I want to make sure the bill gets passed," said Ranzenhofer, who says that outlawing drowsy driving could delay the law's passage.
The proposed law would not penalize drivers like Candelaria. Even though it's intention would be to stop "egregious acts of reckless driving" and stop drivers from "operating in a manner that creates a grave risk of death." Many wonder if falling asleep at the wheel counts.
"It certainly could and one of the things that might happen is that a lot of people might say how do you define drowsy driving? Is it going to be I haven't slept for a certain period of time? Is it feeling tired?" Ranzenhofer questioned.
The proposed law defines reckless driving as driving against traffic and aggressively weaving in and out of traffic, among several other provisions.
Passing a reckless driving bill has been tough - they seem to never be able to make it out of committee.
Ranzenhofer thinks lawmakers can pass a bill without outlawing drowsy driving and go back and add it at a later date.
In 2011, Democrat Assemblymember Dennis Gabryszak signed onto a bill that would've made drowsy driving a misdemeanor, but that effort failed.

Thoughts from yer ol' Buddy Scotty… ( A.K.A. The Rev. Dr. S.A. Schnarr )
Today's lesson: Passion
There is one predominant reason I see a lot of couples get together, and a lot of couples split up. At it's simplest, I would say that reason is passion. Yep, you read right. People split up because of passion. Think about it, passion is a two-edged sword, isn't it? People love with passion. They have, let's say, intimate marital (or extra-marital) relations…

Here's food for thought…..
A friend recently mentioned that the people, (more specifically the taxpayer), of today needs to step up and fight taxes they think are unfair, and support those that will help "the next guy", or future generations, I.E. : Infrastructure, better roads, bridges, utilities, parks, schools….
That all sounds well and good, on the surface, doesn't it? Sure it does. Till you figure out what they are REALLY looking for…. And it…

Before you say it...yes, it's true and legal... Time for a sermon from the Right Reverend Dr. S.A.Schnarr..... Trayvon Martin's parents will need the emotional support and strength to make it through what must be a very traumatic feeling for them. We can all relate to the loss of a loved one, and the feeling that someone should be held accountable. ...someone should pay.

Reviewer: Christopher Dolinsky, MD
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
Last Modified: November 7, 2005
Presenter: Joseph A. Sparano, MD
Presenter's Affiliation: Albert Einstein Cancer Center, Bronx, New York
Type of Session: Scientific
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
Dr Sparano presented phase I and initial phase II data on the use of a farnesyltranferase inhibitor, tipifarnib, given preoperatively, concurrently with AC chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer. One of the most interesting things about this research is that the FTI inhibitor appears to have activity in a disease that doesn&'t generally have mutated Ras. This is an important lesson for oncologists, because it demonstrates the principle that we don&'t fully understand how our targeted therapies actually work. There are many more pathways involved in cancer growth than we currently understand, and we don&'t exactly know why this drug seems to work in breast cancer patients. This concept might help push researchers towards testing certain targeted therapies on large groups of diverse patients to find out if and when the agents have any efficacy. Dr. Sparano&'s group should also be commended for elegantly demonstrating the efficacy of tipifarnib in vivo, which has not been done in the past. It is nice to know that the drug is doing at least one of the things that we think it should.
