Topic says all
At the moment, I think the best 1v1 class is probably Warrior. But I think mages have always been at the top. This is just my opinion though.
Generally X will beat Y but will lose to Z.
I think the best has pretty much always been Mage though. Rogue used to be pretty good 1v1 but isn't great in MoP. Warrior is good currently and has amazing survivability 1v1 because of SW.
Blood DK for sure
"In space, no one can hear you unless you scream!"
Believe it or not, but I have seen some pretty nasty Windwalker monks. However currently, it is easily a second wind err- I mean warrior!
Mage and feral druid.
These days ?? Mage >.>
...oh wait... O.o was there ever a difference :P
Mage > Rogue > everyone else. Some irregularities may have occurred, but these two have always had the best CC coupled with very strong damage, which is what wins small scale fights.
I think windwalkers are pretty strong 1v1 atm
My blood dk in full pve gear ^^
I might not win, but I definitely wont lose
I put the laughter in manslaughter
Blood DK problems: to many ppl at daily place, cant pull 8packs *cries*
BF3>CoD Cola>Pepsi PC>Mac Xbox>PS3
Windwalkers is quite strong in 1v1 when played properly, they have quite high damage with a fairly large toolkit and is getting some of their group pvp issues fixed in next patch, will be fun in 5.2
I remember a few years back when questions like these yielded 50 pages of 'rogue'.
"Friends don't let friends be gnomes."
What about hunters? As far as I'm aware of, they shit on most classes (mages and melee) with the exception of spriests and locks. Someone knowledgeable correct me if I'm wrong on this. The best 1v1 class should be decided on the number of classes they can regularly beat.
That being said. Warriors, who else?

Orlando, Florida overflows with famous theme parks
The beating heart of Florida, Orlando attracts visitors from all corners of the world and is only a few hours' drive from the state's other major cities including Tampa, Jacksonville, Miami and Naples. Home to more than a dozen spectacular amusement parks and hundreds of smaller attractions, it also boasts upscale shopping and delicious dining. A combination of world-class resorts and affordable accommodations has helped establish Orlando as a magnet for families in search of a good-time vacation.
Things to see
Ask anyone what their favorite things about Orlando are and they'll likely point out its two major draws: Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. Beyond these theme park giants, Orlando actually has a whole host of individual amusement parks for guests of all ages, especially adults with the hearts of big kids.
Walt Disney World
What started out as a single amusement park in 1971 proved so popular, it grew into four: Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Your favorite movie characters, both old and new, wander around the parks, so be sure to get a picture with the likes of Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Riding some of the world's most famous roller coasters can be tiring, so after a long day of seeking thrills, head to Downtown Disney to eat at Fulton's Crab House and catch a movie at the 24-screen AMC theater. Don't forget to stop in The Lego Store, the single largest shop dedicated to anything and everything Lego.
Universal Studios
Both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios are appropriate for families and kids of all ages, but if Walt Disney World is better suited for younger children, Universal Studios might appeal more to young adults. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter stirred much excitement in 2010, and now you can even take a walk down Diagon Alley.
Just outside Universal Studios and Islands of Adventures sits CityWalk, which offers visitors movie-themed shopping and dining opportunities such as Bubba Gump Shrimp.
If it's been your lifelong dream to swim with dolphins, make it come true at SeaWorld's Discovery Cove. You'll also be able to interact with a huge variety of other animals including whales, exotic birds and fish. Think of SeaWorld as the world's best petting zoo.
Of course, your stay wouldn't be complete without going on SeaWorld's water slides and roller coasters. With a unique blend of entertainment and education, families can spend a whole day here and never get bored.
Legoland is a must for Lego collectors of all ages. The park is decorated with custom sculptures, and guests can experiment with millions of different Lego bricks at the Lego Factory. A large botanical garden takes advantage of Orlando's tropical climate.
Hotel price ranges
Each amusement park offers themed accommodations in Florida, but there are plenty more Orlando hotels to suit every budget and taste. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites offers low rates for spacious and comfortable lodgings, with a free shuttle bus taking you to nearby attractions. For a luxurious stay, the JW Marriot Orlando Grand Lakes treats you to an on-site golf course and eleven restaurants.
Best time to stay
Thanks to its tropical climate, Orlando is home to exotic plants and wildlife not found anywhere else. Bromeliads, palm trees and bougainvillea vines keep the city colorful throughout the year, and mild winters allow the amusement parks to remain open during all seasons.
Millions of families flock to Orlando during the summer, and a significant number head to the city around Christmas. If you want to beat the lines at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, plan your vacation from September to November, or from February to April, when the weather is mild.

Tetanus Overview
Tetanus is an infectious disease caused by contamination of wounds with the bacteria Clostridium tetani, and/or the spores they produce that live in the soil and animal feces. Tetanus has been recognized for centuries. The term is derived from the ancient Greek words tetanos and teinein, meaning taut and stretched, which describe the condition of the muscles affected by the toxin produced by Clostridium tetani. The causative bacterium, Clostridium tetani, is a hardy organism capable of living many years in the soil in a form called a spore. The bacteria were first isolated in 1889 by S. Kitasato while he was working with R. Koch in Germany. Kitasato also found the toxin responsible for tetanus and developed the first protective vaccine against the disease.
Tetanus usually occurs when a wound becomes contaminated with Clostridium tetani bacterial spores. Infection follows when spores become activated and develop into gram-positive bacteria that multiply and produce a very powerful toxin (tetanospasmin) that affects the muscles. Tetanus spores are found throughout the environment, usually in soil, dust, and animal waste. The usual locations for the bacteria to enter the body are puncture wounds, such as those caused by rusty nails, splinters, or even insect bites. Burns or any break in the skin and IV drug access sites are also potential entryways for the bacteria. Tetanus is acquired through contact with the environment; it is not transmitted from person to person.
Tetanus results in severe, uncontrollable muscle spasms. For example, the jaw is "locked" by muscle spasms, causing the disease to sometimes be called "lockjaw." In severe cases, the muscles used to breathe can spasm, causing a lack of oxygen to the brain and other organs that may possibly lead to death.
The disease in humans is the result of infection of a wound with the spores of the bacteria Clostridium tetani. These bacteria produce the toxin (poison) tetanospasmin, which is responsible for causing tetanus. Tetanospasmin binds to motor nerves that control muscles, enters the axons (filaments that extend from nerve cells), and travels in the axon until it reaches the body of the motor nerve in the spinal cord or brainstem (a process termed retrograde intraneuronal transport). Then the toxin migrates into the synapse (small space between nerve cells critical for transmission of signals among nerve cells) where it binds to nerve terminals and inhibits or stops the release of certain inhibitory neurotransmitters (glycine and gamma-aminobutyric acid). Because the motor nerve has no inhibitory signals from other nerves, the chemical signal to the motor nerve of the muscle intensifies, causing the muscle to tighten up in a huge continuous contraction or spasm. If tetanospasmin reaches the bloodstream or lymphatic vessels from the wound site, it can be deposited in many different locations and result in the same effect on other muscles.
In the United States, because of widespread immunization and careful wound care, the total annual number of cases has averaged about 40-50 cases per year since 1995. In developing countries of Africa, Asia, and South America, tetanus is far more common. The annual worldwide incidence is between 500,000-1 million cases. The majority of new cases worldwide are in neonates in third-world countries.

WHO: Ashley Olsen
WHAT: Spotted leaving a New York hotel last month.
WEAR: Fur coat; Blue Phoenix scarf; The Row bag.
WHY: Is there a chicer way to bundle up than with a furry coat? We think not, and Ashley Olsen's lovely look is proof. The fashion mogul's oversized coat is equal parts cozy and glamorous, a no-fail combination especially when teamed with a generously proportioned scarf! Want to emulate Olsen's ensemble? We think ASOS' Faux Fur Duffle Coat with Hood ($152) and Topshop's Cranberry Grunge Jersey Snood ($32) fit the bill perfectly!
WHO: Jessica Szohr
WHAT: Getting a cab in New York last month.
WEAR: Zadig & Voltaire coat; vintage sweater; Urban Outfitters pants; Paul Smith hat; Coach purse; Belle by Sigerson Morrison shoes.
WHY: We have to admire how well Szohr pulled off this relaxed outfit. The pairing of an oversized blazer, slouchy trousers, and an animal-print fedora translates into a cool, carefree look perfect for a day of errands in the city. Mad about the actress' ensemble? Ann Taylor's Promenade Coat ($248) is a spot-on version of her coat, while Jessica Simpson's Cheetah Print Fedora Hat ($38) provides a playful finish.
WHO: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
WHAT: Shopping in New York last month.
WEAR: Burberry coat; Bottega Veneta scarf; Azzedine Alaia boots.
WHY: Leave it to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to look impeccably polished even when temperatures reach arctic levels. We think her coat's streamlined shape and plum hue make it an especially enchanting choice, plus her studded shoes add an extra element of glamour for one undeniably covetable look! To mimic Huntington-Whiteley's model-off-duty style, we suggest snagging top-notch picks like Jones New York's Coat Stand Collar Wool Blend Alapaca ($150), ASOS' Premium Coat with Double Lapel ($72), or Merona's Water Repellent Long Trench Coat ($50).
WHO: Fearne Cotton
WHAT: Sauntering around London earlier this month.
WEAR: Two-tone coat; olive green button-up shirt; lace shorts; brown lace-up boots.
WHY: When the weather doesn't require too many layers, we look to Fearne Cotton for some on-point sartorial guidance. The radio personality kept her look clean and simple by layering her green button-up shirt with a two-tone coat. We also applaud her decision to add an artsy, geometric necklace from AllSaints, as it adds an element of luxury to her on-the-go attire. Dying for a Cotton-esque look of your own? We recommend MSGM's Two Tone Coat ($304), Hilary Radley's Studio Zara Double Breasted Coat ($165), Rain's Cotton Rope Pendant Necklace ($127), and Luxury Rebel's Tania Lace Up Sherpa Booties ($75).
WHO: Rooney Mara
WHAT: Catching a flight in Berlin earlier this month.
WEAR: Givenchy wool jacket; gray knit circle scarf; Louis Vuitton bag.
WHO: Kate Moss
WHAT:Leaving her home in London in November.
WEAR: Tweed blazer; Siwy jeans; Marc Jacobs boots; Ray-Ban sunglasses; Carolina Herrera bag.
WHY: As a stylish Londoner familiar with the city's perpetually foggy weather, it comes as no surprise that Moss' arsenal of sartorial skills includes top-notch winter ensembles. Of her many on-point outerwear choices, we think this one stands out because of its versatility. The menswear-inspired topper looks terrific worn casually with a pair of light-wash jeans and ankle boots, as seen on Moss, and would be equally ravishing paired with an LBD and heels for evening. To exude Moss-like cool, we recommend getting your hands on worthy alternatives, such as Diane Von Furstenberg's Vincent Blazer ($585), Zara's Houndstooth Check Double Breasted Coat ($100), or Topshop'sTweed Drop Arm Boyfriend Coat ($170).
WHO: Anne Hathaway
WHAT: Snapped at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. last month.
WEAR: Carven coat; MiH jeans; vintage boots.
WHY: Hathaway never disappoints when it comes to her red carpet attire, but the actress looks equally amazing even when she's not posing for the photographers. Case in point: this spot-on winter outfit. We appreciate her decision to opt for classic pieces, including a Carven camel coat and basic black boots, as they create a delightfully timeless and put-together ensemble suitable for any occasion. With Hathaway in mind, we picked a few items you'll fancy: Forever 21's Long Cargo Jacket ($38), All Saints' Kraken Beanie ($50), and Acne's Pistol Leather Ankle Boots ($570), all of which will surely become closet mainstays.
WHO: Gwen Stefani
WHAT: Arriving at LAX earlier this month.
WEAR: Knit sweater; printed scarf; below-the-knee leather boots; Cutler & Gross sunglasses; L.A.M.B. bag.
WHY: Even when traipsing through the airport, Stefani manages to look every bit the glam-rocker woman she is. Her fire-engine red lipstick and patterned scarf add a perfect pop of color to her mostly-neutral ensemble. Plus, her tights-and-boots combo is a great way to stay comfortable aboard a long-haul flight, making this an amazing en-route outfit! If you're traveling in the near future, we suggest JNBY's Cable Knit Sweater ($350), Topshop's Floral Ombre Scarf ($52), and Cole Haan's Dorian Waterproof Riding Boots ($228) to emulate Stefani.
WHO: Zoe Kravitz
WHAT: Meandering around New York back in October.
WEAR: Navy double-breasted coat; slim pants; Dr. Marten 1461 W Shoes ($100).
WHY: Not everyone can make casual dressing look as cool as Kravitz. A classic double-breasted coat worn with a simple t-shirt and jeans is the ideal fuss-free ensemble for ambling around the chilly city. If you want a similar look, Sandro's Dark Blue Short Coat ($399), Pepe Jeans' Double Breasted Coat ($251), and James Perse's Marled Knit Beanie ($70) will definitely do the trick.
WHO: Jessica Hart
WHAT: Taking her dog for a walk in New York two months ago.
WEAR: Zara coat; Prada sweater; Matthew Williamson fur collar; velvet leggings from Resurrection in New York; Converse shoes.
WHY: Hart is the perfect muse for looking chic on weekend outings. While her leggings and classic Chuck Taylor sneakers keep the outfit relaxed, her sophisticated coat and elegant fur accent definitely elevate the look. If you're as smitten with Hart's styling as we are, consider American Apparel's Long Wool Coat ($185), John Varvatos' Chuck Taylor Studded High Tops ($150), and ASOS' Faux Fur Snood ($27), and you'll achieve that enviable model-off-duty vibe in no time.-Erin Fitzpatrick

Long time listener, first time caller (so-to-speak)....
This may not be an original idea, but a couple weeks ago, I got to thinking, why haven't the Pastafari gotten together to spread the touch of the noodly appendage with pasta dinners for the hungry.
And more importantly, couldn't this work be funded by application into the "Faith Based Initiatives" program?
I'm sure there are more causes that could be supported under this.

CANTON A Winthrop man who pleaded guilty in February to performing oral sex on a 13-year-old handicapped girl was back in court Monday.
St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards chided Michael A. Francis Sr., 56, of 292 Mahoney Road, for casting blame on the victim during his court appointed sex offender counseling sessions.
The victim is not responsible unless she held you down and overpowered you, Judge Richards said. At least there is a defense there, but we both know that she didnt.
On Dec. 30, Francis was arrested by state police and charged with second-degree attempted criminal sex act, a class E felony, and was released under probation supervision pending sentencing.
At the time of the original investigation, the teenage victim told troopers she believed she had blacked out when the incident took place.
In court Monday, Judge Richards said Francis claimed the victim had been flirting with him in the months leading up to the event that resulted in his arrest and that she had been guilty of doing the same to other men in the past.
Do you know how incredible this is? Judge Richards asked Francis. You are 56 and the victim is a 13-year-old handicapped girl. Even if she was coming on to you, it is still a violation of the law.
Franciss daughter reportedly walked in on Francis and the girl, reported the incident to an adult and that adult contacted state police. The victim said Francis had become much more friendly with her in the weeks after he split up with his girlfriend. She said he had given her $50, bought her Christmas presents and asked her to be his girlfriend.
Judge Richards adjourned Franciss sentencing to July 8 at 8:15 a.m. and ordered 80 hours of alcohol screening. Francis was released under continued probation supervision.
In other court action Monday:
Jordan Bono, 25, of 1317 Morley Potsdam Road, Potsdam, was sentenced to five years of probation related to a second-degree vehicular assault class E felony charge.
On Feb. 27, 2011, Mr. Bono operated a 2006 Chevrolet Impala under the influence of marijuana and as a result caused serious physical injury to Kim B. Hayes, 57, Potsdam.
St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards transferred Mr. Bonos probation supervision to Warren County, where he currently resides and is involved in a treatment program.
Timothy J. Green, 31, of 13 Pine St. Apt. B, Canton, pleaded guilty to first-degree scheme to defraud, a class E felony.
On July 18, Mr. Greene was charged with issuing four checks totaling $201.69 to the Potsdam IGA supermarket in June of 2012. All were returned for insufficient funds.
Additionally, on June 27, 2009, Mr. Greene used 16 invalid checks for purchases at Price Chopper, Bressettes Bottles N Beverage and Rex Hardware totaling $1,078.
Mr. Green was released under probation supervision, with sentencing scheduled for Sept. 9 at 9:15 a.m.
William P. Sapoff, 21, of 304 E. Main St., Gouverneur, was sentenced to three years of probation with one year credit after completing one year of interim probation with total compliance.
Mr. Sapoff pleaded down his original April 19, 1212, guilty plea from fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class E felony to seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a class A misdemeanor.
In March of 2012, Mr. Sapoff and two other men were pulled over on County Route 25. A police dog helped officers locate one pound of hallucinogenic mushrooms stored in the vehicles trunk.
Timothy A. Thompson, 55, and Timothy A. Thompson II, 29, both of 125 Old State Road, were both issued an extension on their sentencing related to a 2011 marijuana possession charge.
On Nov. 29, 2011, in the town of DeKalb Junction, undercover agents allegedly were led there to buy 26.17 ounces of marijuana.
Both men were charged with second-degree criminal possession of marijuana, a class E felony and were released under one year interim probation. Sentencing was adjourned to June 2, 2014.

Changes Affecting Small Businesses
Recent legislation includes changes that will affect small businesses in 2011. Here are some of the changes worth noting.
If you're a business owner, you probably know that you're allowed to deduct the cost of capital assets that you purchase for your business. Typically, part of the cost is deducted each year based on the useful life of the property, according to a depreciation schedule. Special rules allowed an accelerated "bonus" 50% first-year depreciation deduction for qualifying property placed in service during 2008, 2009, and 2010. This accelerated depreciation deduction is allowed for purposes of the alternative minimum tax (AMT) calculation, as well as for calculating regular tax.
The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 increased the bonus depreciation percentage allowed to 100% for qualifying property acquired and placed in service after September 8, 2010, and before January 1, 2012. This change enables business owners to significantly accelerate the deductions that result from new capital expenditures. (Note: one of the requirements for the accelerated depreciation deduction is that the "original use" of the property must commence in the specified time period--i.e., previously used property doesn't qualify.)
IRC Section 179 expensing
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 179 allows you to elect to deduct (or "expense") the cost of depreciable tangible personal property that you acquired for use in your business in the year that you purchase it, rather than over time through depreciation deductions. As a result of legislation passed in September 2010, the maximum amount that can be expensed under IRC Section 179 for 2010 and 2011 increased to $500,000 (reduced when the total cost of qualifying property placed in service during the year exceeds $2 million). This legislation also temporarily expands the definition of property that qualifies for a deduction under IRC Section 179 to include some real property, including certain improvements made to nonresidential buildings and retail property, as well as qualified restaurant property. However, the maximum Section 179 expense limit that applies to real property is $250,000.
Other considerations
Health care reform legislation passed in early 2010 established a tax credit for small businesses that offer health insurance coverage to their employees. For 2011, the maximum credit is 35% of employer premium expenses. To be eligible for the credit, you must have the equivalent of fewer than 25 full-time employees for the year; average annual wages must be less than $50,000; and you must contribute at least 50% of the premium cost of the qualifying health plan you offer to employees. (Note: The full 35% credit is available only if you have 10 or fewer full-time employees with average annual wages of $25,000 or less.)
New "simple cafeteria plans," created by the 2010 health care reform legislation, can be established starting in 2011 by businesses that have employed an average of 100 or fewer employees during the prior two years. If you're eligible, such a plan can allow you to offer valuable benefits to employees (e.g., group term life insurance, dependent care assistance program) while automatically meeting nondiscrimination rules that normally apply to cafeteria plans.
Beginning this year, many employers will begin reporting the cost of employer-provided health-care coverage on employees' W-2s for informational purposes only (this is optional in 2011, mandatory in 2012). While the amount reported is not included in employees' income, and will not affect their tax liability, you'll want to be prepared to answer employee questions.

When my original housing started skipping and not cutting properly I bought the deep cut housing. It is supposed to be so much better. I can't get it to work at all. It tears the paper or won't cut. Everyone I know that bought it hates it. It certainly won't cut chipboard as advertised. It won't even cut cardstock. PC has a great idea in the cricut product but has terrible product support. Just call them and you will see what I mean. In my opinion the original, plastic housing works much better.
Just tried my deep cut blade and housing for the first time. I will save heaps on chipboard products! Took a couple of goes to get the settings right, but it looks good now! I am using the card that I get in the packaging to get more products!
I purchased a deep cut blade housing and a pack of 2 blades at the tune of 50 dollars. It cannot even properly cut textured card stock without destroying the paper much less trying anything thicker was a complete mess. I've had my Expression for a long time and I am VERY FAMILIAR with it and well versed on how to use all the settings. Nothing and I do mean nothing has aided me in getting this blade housing and blade to cut properly. I am very disappointed in this absolutely pointless purchase.
we bought this b/c we couldn't get the regular blade to work on textured cardstock, but found this didn't work either.
I just tried to use this. It won't cut through heavy card stock which is why I bought it. Save your money people........
I purchased this blade to cut vinyl after watching an instructional video on vinyl. It works just fine for me. It worked on the first try with medium pressure and setting the blade on 4. I gave it 4.5 instead of 5 because I think that $30 is too high in relation to the price of the entire cricut machine.
I make paper puppets and dolls out of watercolor paper that is 140lb and it cuts without tearing with a clean cut like it very much saves me from cutting by hand and a lot of time I set the blade at 6 and works great with one cut.
I'm not sure why the ratings are so bad for this product. I've used it in my Expression many times to cut chipboard and posterboard, and it cuts like butter! It's really not meant for cardstock, it's for thick materials like posterboard and heavier. You will most likely need to use 2 or more passes to make the complete cut, depending on thickness.

Comments about NRS Mambas Pogies:
I like wearing pogies instead of gloves because I can feel my paddle better. These are great because you can snap the cuffs down, which makes them easier to get in/out of. You'll still get some water in, so don't expect them to keep your hands "warm" just more comfortable. The best benefit, I think, is that they cut the wind.

phpmyadmin works well on the mysql database and on test databases. phpNuke doesn't complain about it's database but I can't use phpMyAdmin to administrate the phpNuke database as it contains 90 tables. Have manually created the database table by table using phpmyadmin. All went well untill the 90th table was created.
The error manifests itself by a white top/left frame displaying a mere "0". No HTML code or anything else just 0... I've checked everything and all seems to be well.
I've got no idea how to go about troubleshooting this so any help and pointers would be appreciated.
phpMyAdmin 2.6.0 and 2.5.6 both display the same problem...

After several major Northeast oil refineries shuttered operations last year, a rebirth of East Coast refineries that utilize the controversial drilling method known as hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," is altering the United States' energy future, paving the way for it to become the world's top oil producer within the next five years.
Amidst already rising gasoline prices, in March 2012 three major refineries serving New England and other parts of the Northeast ceased operations. Analysts projected that the loss of production from these plants, which account for more than half of the East Coast's refining capacity, could inflate New England gas prices by an average of 15 cents per gallon — in addition to price spikes driven by domestic regulations, unrest in the Middle East, and other global disruptions.
Refiners halted production after losing billions of dollars over the past few years, spawned largely by weakened economic conditions, increased competition abroad, and an influx of new environmental regulations. Oil company Sunoco Inc. of Philadelphia lost nearly $1 billion over three years, resulting in numerous plant shutdowns. "We could stay in the refining business and put the entire company at risk," Sunoco spokesman Thomas Golembeski noted last year, "or we could exit the refining business and stop the financial losses."
In recent years, fracking has unearthed vast reserves of natural gas, and it has now popped the cork on lavish reserves of crude oil trapped in shale deposits. In fact, the practice has ramped up domestic production so much that the United States is expected to unseat Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer by 2017 — as well as become a net oil exporter by 2030 — according to a recent report by the International Energy Agency.
In addition to a boost in overall energy efficiency, the New York Times reported in a November 2012 article, rising oil production by unconventional practices will greatly bolster the United States' standing in the global oil marketplace:

Its dry, hot hot hot hot, and dangerous. There has already been a fire started at Carstens due to an unattended campfire. Be careful out there and bring your warmies at elevation!
http://www.pcta.org/2013/strong-fire-restrictions-on-john-muir-trail-13030/Would seem to imply that alcohol stoves are not allowed in some areas. I'm guessing this is more of an oversight than intent? I seem to recall a similar ban last year but that people checked with the authorities and found that alcohol stoves were acceptable? Does anyone have more info?
Forest service policy has been in the past that if the stove has a valve you can use it, if it does not have a valve you cannot. But this has not been consistent everywhere, all the time so it is best to check with the rangers at the particular forest or wilderness area you intend to visit.
I talked to the people at the INYO office today. They told me alcohol stoves are ok. I am a little concerned by her statement, though. She had to ask what I meant by an alcohol stove.
I've gotten inconsistent comments like that from the Inyo NF office in Bishop before. So, I make a note of the person's name and date. In the event that a backcountry ranger has a problem with what I am doing, I can refer him to the office person. I figure that alone would prevent a citation to me.--B.G.--
I was just up in the Cottonwood Lakes Basin (GTW) for the July 1st golden trout opener and I asked about the fire ban when I picked up my wilderness permit in the Lone Pine Visitor's Center on Saturday. The two folks I talked to who were processing my permit said that alcohol stoves were not currently allowed. They said stoves had to have an on/off valve. I didn't ask about esbit but they seemed pretty sure that only stoves with an on/off valve were allowed. I left wondering if a back country ranger would have the same answer if he or she wandered into our camp.
Here is the post on the INYO site: Beginning June 28, and until further notice, the following restrictions will be in effect: NO CAMPFIRES, briquette barbeques, or stove fires are allowed outside of designated developed recreation sites and specifically posted campsites or areas. A list of designated campgrounds and recreation sites is available at local Ranger Stations and Visitor Centers, and on the Inyo National Forest website, www.fs.usda.gov/inyo.Persons with a valid California Campfire Permit (available free of charge at any Ranger Station or Visitor Center) are not exempt from the prohibitions but are allowed to use portable stoves or lanterns using gas, jellied petroleum, or pressurized liquid fuel. NO FIREWORKS. It is prohibited to possess or discharge any fireworks. NO SMOKING, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material. NO WELDING or operating an acetylene torch with open flames, except by permit. NO USE OF EXPLOSIVES, except by permit.Its a little vague, but it seems to maybe prohibit alcohol stoves. I called when I saw this.
"jellied petroleum"That's almost the same as Esbit, I would think.--B.G.--
> "jellied petroleum"> That's almost the same as Esbit, I would think.Well, Napalm (single-serving yogurt cups plus gasoline, in retail terminology). But I suspect they mean SternoI would call Esbit (hexamine tablets) a solid fuel.
David, from the standpoint of safety in use, I would think that Esbit is about the same as Sterno.--B.G.--
Sterno doesn't have an off switch unless you use the 'lid'. I can do the same thing to extinguish the 'stove' with my pot over my Esbit tab so...
>"David, from the standpoint of safety in use, I would think that Esbit is about the same as Sterno."Bob, I'd agree Sterno or Esbit are each far, far safer than a wood-burning stove with its potential for embers and the certainty of some coals (and variable ways of containing those coals).While Sterno has a provided lid to extinguish the flame. It also preserves the fuel for its next use.Esbit can be used in a variety of containers (slide the mint tin lid closed) or none at all.And note that while "jellied fuel" makes Sterno spring to mind, in trying to use a generic description and not a brand name, it seems to leave open some DIY options:Bob and I remember not only 35mm film cameras with their handy plastic film canisters, but that the film used to come in screw-top aluminum canisters of the same size. How's that for a mini-Sterno? Less stable for one thing, but maybe with a mini HX pot, it fills a need. Simply transfer Sterno fuel from the factory container or get out some polystyrene and make your own gelled fuel.Fire ribbon ain't cheap per BTU, (Esbit isn't either) but it's available and, again, the more gung-ho can make their own.
My favourite DIY gelled alcohol:Mix ethanol with a calcium acetate solution.A couple of recipes here: http://zenstoves.net/Sterno.htmThe following instructions and measurements are from the Montville High School Science Departmental. Add 25g of crushed chalk or egg shells (calcium carbonate-CaCO3) to 100ml of vinegar (water and acetic acid - CH3CO2H) and stir for about 5 minutes.This should produce carbon dioxide (CO2), calcium acetate (C4H6CaO4) and water (H2O) plus leave you with some left over chalk (CaCO3). If you are guessing on how much chalk to add, just make sure that there is a little extra after 5 minutes of stirring. Remove the excess chalk by filtering your mix through some filter paper (coffee filter or napkin can be used).Set a funnel in a jar, place your filter in it and pour your suspension through it. Mark the level of your solution in its container and allow your solution to evaporate off about half that volume to remove the excess water.Place your solution in an oven set on low heat or place it out in the sun to dry. If you went to far - just add the missing water.Note - if you like, you can dry out your solution completely and store the remaining dried calcium acetate for future use. If your solution isn't already in the container you want your gel in, then pour it in there now. Add 30ml of alcohol (ethanol, methanol, or isopropanol) to your solution and watch the gel form. Do not stir. Once the reaction in complete, pour off any extra fuel. Y2kSurvivor suggests:Dissolved calcium acetate solution ratio:1 part dry calcium acetate (by volume) to 2 parts water Solution to fuel ratio:1 part dissolved calcium acetate solution to 4 parts alcohol
"Bob and I remember not only 35mm film cameras with their handy plastic film canisters, but that the film used to come in screw-top aluminum canisters of the same size."What do you mean -- remember? I have both kinds sitting here right now.--B.G.--
I called the Tahoe Basin Mgmt Unit, spoke to Chris, said no alky stoves in Desolation Wilderness, so I imagine that would apply to Eldorado NF backcountry as well, since I will be going thru Desolation to the area between that and Loon Lake by Two Peaks, then back into Desolation. Opportunity to take a vintage MSR stove instead of a gassie. Six nights or so out, covering some country I have not visited in 15 years or so.Duane
Given that my favorite hiking area, the Spring Mountains just outside of Las Vegas, is burning furiously, destroying 30,000 acres already, I will say that NO alky stoves should be used in these dry western forests. And ONLY canister stoves be permitted.Even alky stoves like the Starlyte, with a no-spill wick should not be permitted. Alcohol and all liquid fuel stoves need refilling. This in itself can be dangerous. Would you like to see a SVEA or other white gas or kereosene stove accidentally explode in an ultra dry forest, shooting flames yards into the air? It has happened and could happen again and should be banned during these conditions.
In my opinion, the type of fuel is not that important. What's really important is site selection. A wood fire on rocky or barren soil is safer than a canister stove next to a dry, grassy field.
Duane,I read through the Tahoe Basin Mgmt Unit Fire Restriction Order and they list the following exception, "However, persons with a valid campfire Permit may use pressurized gas orcontained fuel stove." I took this to mean that esbit would be ok as a fuel source but alcohol was not.
I like alcohol stoves. They are light, easy to make, efficient for certain purposes and just plain ole' work.In the past, I've headed up workshops on how to make pepsi-can (and later, cat food stove..easier!) stoves. I've cooked probably a few hundred meals in the backcountry with an alchy stove at this point.However, I really have been a stickler the past two years about alchie stove regs. Everything I've seen, at least in the spirit of the law, eliminates the use of the stoves during these type of bans.I went backpacking this past weekend in the Comanche Peak Wilderness. I drove through a devastated patch that was started by an alcohol stove user.I question all the debates myself. A canister stove is a lousy three ounces, cost ~$30 (or $10 for a Chinese knock-off) and there is no question of their legality.Will a ranger "catch" me using an alcohol stove? Probably not. But if a ranger did happen upon me who takes a similar view to alchie stoves as expressed in the above posts, I am facing a very stiff fine. I've also seen the ridge on the local foothills on fire...a little too closely viewed from the small deck here at Casa Mags. I could see the slurry bombers drop their load on the fire. Tend to take a conservative view of fires and their destruction now.So now I go stoveless when solo for three season backpacking. Take a canister with Mrs Mags or on a more social trip.Maybe I'll use an alchie stove again come Fall.But I am definitely not going to use it when there are some legitimate questions are about their legality.Just ain't worth it.At least to me.rE: Canisters stoves just as dangerousSite selection is important for sure. But seems there is more a probability of something going wrong any open stove you pour fuel into. :O

Eric,I did not consider Esbit, but I don't interpret it like you. Jellied petro like Sterno if that is what Sterno can be called, has a lid that can be used to cap the can, Esbit, no. Besides, I don't like its smell and inability to keep the smell from the rest of a packs contents. I did not ask about Esbit type fuel. I'll just bring an old MSR G or GK or something for nostalgia, as I have not been back into this area for 15 years or so.Duane

Read: The Donald Fehr Factor
Damien Cox sent out a tweet saying, "Tough optics for Fehr. Looks like once he got involved again, everything fell apart. Am sure that's the way the league wanted it to look."
According to Chris Johnston, Winnipeg defenseman Ron Hainsey said that bringing Fehr back into negotiating sessions was a potential deal breaker for the NHL.
Adrian Dater said that he spoke with someone "deep inside" the players side who said:
"We were ready to play again. But Don came in (Wed.) and told us we could get more and to hold out."
Michael Russo said, "I don't like how Don Fehr strutted in front of the cameras with a BS "it's over" msg tonight. Played with fans heartstrings. It's shameful." He adds "Players hire Fehr to potentially lose 100% of their salaries, precious time in a short career and decertify their union?"
Pierre LeBrun, at ESPN.com, praised Fehr for being patient and getting a better offer, until the NHL pulled things like the $300 million make whole off the table, but said he may have screwed up by telling the players to wait, "you can't wait and wait and wait forever and believe the offer will always improve. You have to know when the time is right to cut a deal."

An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

Marriage Laws U.S. Wisconsin Sawyer County Clerk
Marriage license Laws in Sawyer County, Wisconsin. Here is what you need to bring with you, and what you need to know about the Wisconsin marriage laws before filling out the Wisconsin marriage license application.
Local Wisconsin wedding officiants for your wedding or vow renewal ceremony. Submit one form to local Wisconsin officiants. You choose the best WI wedding officiant.
Ask a Lawyer Online Now! 24 Lawyers Are Online. Ask a Question, Get an Answer ASAP.
In order to get married, you need to apply and receive a marriage license. This is the document in Wisconsin that allows you to officially tie the knot under the law. The rules for acquiring your marriage license vary from state to state, so you should check with your County Clerk's Office to ask about your local policies and procedures.
Wisconsin State Law requires a couple to apply no more than 30 days prior to the wedding date but no later than 6 days prior to the wedding. The 6 day waiting period can be waived upon consent of the County Clerk for an additional amount not to exceed $25.00. Wisconsin State Statutes require a certified birth certificate, and other official documents. In Wisconsin, the marriage license is valid for 30 days from the issuance of the marriage license. The marriage can only take place within this 30-day period.
When you apply for your license, you'll not only need proof of identification and age, but you'll need to apply for the certificate of marriage together.
You need to have a justice of the peace or a religious clergyman to perform the ceremony and sign the marriage license. Prior to your ceremony, you'll give your officiant your marriage license. After the ceremony, your officiant will sign the license and send it to the Register of Deeds of the county in which the marriage took place.
ID Requirement: You must bring your Social Security Card, show proof of residence (WI Driver's License or WI State ID), show a certified copy of your birth certificate. You must know your parents full names, including mother's maiden name and the correct spelling of their names. Make sure you have the date and place of your marriage ceremony and the name, address and phone number of the officiant.
Residency Requirement: At least one of the marrying couple must reside in the county where the application is made for at least 30 days. If both reside out-of-state, the application is made in the county where the ceremony will take place.
If Previously Married: You must show proof of a divorce, death or annulment from your most recent marriage. A copy of the judgment of divorce (signed by a judge), legal annulment (signed by a judge) or death certificate is required. In Wisconsin, you need to wait six months after a divorce before remarrying no matter what state the divorce took place in.
Application Requirement: Both the bride and groom must appear in person at the time of applying.
Waiting Period: There is a 6-day waiting period from the date the application is signed until the license becomes effective. A waiver of the 6-day waiting period may be obtained at the discretion of the County Clerk. The cost of the waiver ranges from $10 to $25.
How Much a Marriage License Cost?
The license fee in Sawyer County is $75.00 at time of application. A 5-day waiting period is required by law, but may be waived for a good cause for an additional fee of $10.00.
Blood Tests: No blood test requirement.
Under 18: If either the bride or groom is 16 or 17 years old, parental permission is required. Parents or guardians are required to sign in the presence of a notary public before a marriage application is processed.
Cousin Marriages: Blood relatives who are first cousins must have proof of sterilization unless the female is 55 years of age or older.
Common Law Marriages: Not recognized in Wisconsin.
Same Sex Marriages: Yes. Same-sex marriage in Wisconsin began through a court order on June 6, 2014.
Officiants: Ordained member of the clergy, a judge, a court commissioner, or certain religious appointees. You and your prospective spouse may officiate under established customs or rules of some religions.
Valid: License is valid for 30 days.
The license can only be used within the State of Wisconsin.
Please Note: State and county marriage license requirements often change. The above information is for guidance only and should not be regarded as legal advice.
It is important that you verify all information with your
local marriage license office or
county clerk before making any wedding or travel plans.
To notify us of corrections or additions send an email to email@example.com. Please include the state and county information.

CANTON - Wanted: moderate candidate with the ability to win a swing district. Public speaking skills and a large cash hoard considered a plus. Previous party affiliation not necessarily required.
U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, announced Tuesday that he would not be seeking re-election in New Yorks 21st Congressional District in 2014, motivating Republican candidates and surprising the Democratic party.
But ahead of the heat of battle, a strategic question looms: what exactly is the nature of the 21st district?
Once considered solidly Republican, the district has been won in recent election cycles by Democratic candidates, including President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
What accounts for this?
According to Siena College Research Institute pollster Steven A. Greenberg, it could be part of the natural life cycle of an area.
People move in, people move out; young people become voters, people die. Peoples attitudes change as they get older, he said.
Or it could also be explained by a 2012 redistricting that added to the districts eastern boundary and subtracted from the western.
The real reason may be hard to discern, especially given the size of the district, which is one of the largest east of the Mississippi.
It is not only the districts size but also its population density, or lack thereof, that makes it so hard to define, according to Thomas Konda, associate professor of political science at SUNY Plattsburgh.
Its size and the fact that it is so evenly populated just makes it a hard district to run in, Mr. Konda said.
Though Republicans outnumber Democrats overall, there are pockets of Democratic supporters in the district along the Route 11 corridor and the Canadian border that bolster the partys influence, though the district, which is without a large population center, is colored in shades of blue and red rather than painted in bold brush strokes.
On Nov. 1, there were 402,327 enrolled voters in the district, according to information provided by the Jefferson County Board of Elections.
Of those voters, 117,328 were registered Democrats and 172,196 were registered Republicans a difference of 54,868 voters in the Republicans favor.
There were 5,623 Conservative, 1,688 Working Party, 24,266 Independent, 976 Green Party voters and 80,171 unaffiliated voters.
The district is some 16,000 square miles, divided by the Adirondack mountains and economically diverse. Without a large city in the mix, it can be hard for candidates to gain name recognition prior to a campaign, according to Mr. Konda.
Its relatively impossible for anyone to become well known throughout the district, Mr. Konda said.
The state redraws its congressional boundaries every 10 years to account for shifts in population. What is now the 21st district was known as the 23rd district in 2009, where Mr. Owens was first propelled to power by a divided Republican party.
Rep. John M. McHugh, a Republican who represented the north country in the House of Representatives for 16 years, was named Secretary of the Army that year and a special election was called to find his successor.
Mr. Owens had no party affiliation when he was selected by the districts 11 Democratic county chairpersons after their favored candidate, then-state Sen. Darrel J. Aubertine, decided not to run.
A contentious campaign between Conservative candidate Douglas L. Hoffman and Republican candidate Dierdre K. Scozzafava split the vote during a special election in 2009, sending Mr. Owens to Washington.
His voting record, aside from his support of the Affordable Care Act, has been largely conservative, according to Raymond E. Petersen, a political science professor at Jefferson Community College and director of the colleges Center for Community Studies. In fact, he was endorsed by the National Rifle Association over Republican challenger Matthew A. Doheny in the 2012 election.
Before his announcement Tuesday, Mr. Owens was expected to continue to defend the seat from the Republicans continually gathering at the gate to reclaim the territory they had held for more than a century.
But all may not be lost.
To regroup and reclaim the seat, Democrats simply need to find a suitable candidate and hope that recent history repeats itself.
I dont think this is a done deal at all for the Republicans, said Grant Reeher, director of the Alan K. Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse Universitys Maxwell School.
Mr. Reeher acknowledged that the Democrats were in a tough spot.
All three races Mr. Owens ran were close, and his cause was helped considerably by the inability of Republicans to unite, he said.
Presumed Republican front-runner Elise M. Stefanik, Willsboro, has been picking up steam of late, visiting GOP County Committee candidate endorsement meetings across the district and already garnering support from the Saratoga County Committee. Ms. Stefanik has already raised more than $160,000, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
But Mr. Owenss late-breaking announcement could draw one or more people into the race at this point, according to Mr. Reeher.
Whatever candidates emerge may go a long way toward determining who the Democrats pick to run.
According to Mr. Reeher, the they will be looking for a moderate candidate cast in the Owens mold, someone who:
n Presents an air of reasonableness.
n Has some business experience.
n Is well-spoken.
n Has access to money or money of his or her own.
For now, it appears that whatever the Democrats decide to do will depend, in large part, on what the Republicans do.
And Ms. Stefaniks prospects for nomination, while promising, are not yet assured.
Its possible, if not likely, that other Republican candidates will come forward, said Daniel S. Lempert, assistant professor in the Department of Politics at SUNY Potsdam.

Video: Mother's 16-Year-Old Boyfriend Charged in Death of Toddler
SPRINGVILLE, NY-For the second time in as many weeks, the Erie County Sheriff's Department is investigating the death of a toddler, allegedly at the hands of the mother's teenaged boyfriend.
The Sheriff's Department says they were called to a home on Cocharan Avenue in Springville Tuesday night for a report of an unresponsive baby. The suspect was babysitting while the boy's mother was working. The suspect, who is 16-years-old, is not being named due to his age. He is not the father of the child.
Deputies Ben Pisa, Jason Bouton and Don Hoelscher performed CPR on the child while waiting for paramedics to arrive. Austin Smith was rushed to Bertrand Chaffee Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Austin would've turned two years old this Saturday.
The boyfriend was charged Wednesday after an autopsy was completed by the Medical Examiner's office.
Two weeks ago, Justin Crouse, 30, of Salamanca was charged in the death of three year old Gage Seneca on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation. Crouse was charged with murder after an autopsy showed the boy died of blunt force trauma.
