CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- The state of Illinois has long been a fertile recruiting base for the University of Wisconsin and Sunday's 74-68 win in Champaign proved to be a happy homecoming for two Badgers in particular.
Ben Brust, from Hawthorn Woods, Ill., led all scorers with 20 points, while Lisle, Ill., native Frank Kaminsky chipped in a career-high 19 points off the bench, including a 12-for-14 (.857) effort from the free throw stripe.
The Badgers (15-7, 6-3 Big Ten) shot under 30 percent for most of the first half and combined with the Illini to score just 14 points in the game's first eight minutes of action. A closely-played first half saw two ties and seven lead changes.
The pendulum finally began to swing the Badgers way late in the first stanza, as Wisconsin went 6-for-8 (.750) from the field in the final 5:54 and 6-for-6 from the free throw stripe during that span to take a 33-24 lead into the half.
Illinois (15-8, 2-7) converted on its first two baskets of the second half and pulled within five points on a few occassions, but UW countered with a heavy dose of made free throws and a solid rebounding effort. A 3-pointer from Kaminsky capped an 8-0 run early in the second half, giving the Badgers a 43-30 lead with 14:36 remaining.
The Illini wouldn't pull closer that nine until a desperation rally in the final minute and a half.
Wisconsin's lead swelled to 62-47 with 4:34 left in the game, and Illinois' late run would not be enough to fend off Wisconsin, which shot 55.6 percent (10-18) from the field in the second half and nailed 19 of the team's 28 made free throws during that span.
Kaminsky did most of the heavy lifting from the free throw stripe, netting 8-of-10 in the final 20 minutes of action and scoring 13 of his 19 points in the second half. Ryan Evans came up one rebound shy of his fifth double-double of the season, finishing with 15 points and nine rebounds.
Five days after not attempting a single free throw in a 58-49 loss at Ohio State, the Badgers responded by knocking down 28-of-42 at the stripe Sunday afternoon. The 42 attempts were Wisconsin's most in a Big Ten game since shooting 46 against Ohio State in 2002.
Just like this season's earlier match-up between Wisconsin and Illinois - a 74-51 UW win - the Badgers succeeded in two keys areas. The Illini were held to a season-low two made 3-pointers, going 2-for-13 from deep. Illinois went 2-for-14 from distance in the first meeting. Wisconsin also held Illinois to a mere two transition points Sunday.
Illinois was led by Joseph Bertrand's 17 points. Four other Illini scored in double figures.
The Badgers return home on Wednesday to take on the Iowa Hawkeyes. Tip-off is slated for 8 p.m. on Big Ten Network.

text: AMU Conference examines Business Education and Catholic social teaching Tuesday, January 7, 2014 During January 2-4, more than 30 scholars from 14 universities came to Ave Maria for the "Mission-Driven Business Education" seminar to talk about integrating the Catholic faith and the Catholic intellectual tradition into the teaching of marketing, management, accounting, finance, economics, and business ethics. Michael Naughton (of the John A. Ryan Institute for Catholic Social Thought at the University of St. Thomas), Gabriel Martinez (Chair of the Business Department at Ave Maria University), and Henry Amoroso (of the Micah Center at Seton Hall University) were the seminar organizers. "Through the questions we raise, through the topics we choose, through the answers we give, we can give our students and our colleagues a sense of the meaning and fulfillment we have found as Christians and as Catholics," said Dr. Martinez. "The Catholic tradition gives us a different perspective and a unique impetus to study finance, economics, marketing, accounting, management, and business ethics, which makes our classroom and research occasions for – appropriate, respectful, opportune – evangelization." The seminar, which focused on the uniquely Catholic dimensions of business education, lasted two and a half days, with formal presentations and informal discussions. In their presentations, the participants laid out their understanding of the Catholic intellectual tradition and of Catholic social teaching. Then they connected these ideas with the specific pedagogical strategies that they use to help students make relevant connections. Other scholars responded by highlighting what they thought was most relevant, thus starting a discussion among the whole group. All participants wrote background papers on their ideas of the integration of Catholic teaching with their disciplines. They also provided specific teaching notes and syllabi, which will be made publicly available to the worldwide academic community, with the aim of helping business professors in any university who want to bring the Catholic intellectual tradition to their own students. Together with a very favorable impression of Ave Maria, the participants (from Notre Dame, Pepperdine, St. Thomas, Seton Hall, St. Joseph's, St. John's, Dayton, Catholic University of America, Loras, St. Norbert's, Lexington, Le Moyne, St. Francis, and Ave Maria) left with strong bonds and with plans for future collaboration and extensions of their work into the world of business.

Hotel Vintage, A Kimpton Hotel Hotel Review: Although Portland is actually miles from Oregon wine country, this downtown boutique hotel celebrates that distinctive region. It's located right in the heart of the city (there isn't a vineyard on site), but its rich colors and deep textures are as intoxicating as a glass of local Pinot Noir. The culture-conscious flock to this elegant hotel just a few blocks from Pioneer Square. It offers 117 accommodations in a range of styles, from the amply equipped, two-story suites with Japanese soaking tubs to the Starlight Rooms featuring massive windows for gazing up to the heavens. Suites come with dining tables, and all rooms come with refrigerators (for chilling Chardonnays) and plush bathrobes. A complimentary wine reception is presented each evening, and Pazzo restaurant presents the tastes and moods of Italy for scenesters and other lovers of the good life. Those who refuse to leave Fido at home will find their pooch pampered with a dog mat, local made treats, bottled water and free pet sitting and walking services.

Tuned for serious all-mountain freestyle annihilation.
Burton built the Malavita EST Snowboard Binding for freestyle shredders who want both mobility and stability in a lightweight, cushy package. The all-new Hinge design allows the separate heelcup and baseplates to flex laterally for easier tweaks and presses, while the (also new) Heel Hammock lets you run looser straps without losing heelside response. Dual-density EVA AutoCANT footbeds and B3 gel cushioning reduce fatigue and take the bite out of flat landings.
- The Hinge design uses separate pieces for the baseplate and heelcup to naturally allow more lateral flex
- Heel Hammock rubberized padding in the heelcup locks your boot into place for better response without over-tightening your straps
- AutoCANT dual-density EVA footbeds flex to match your stance and reduce knee strain and fatigue
- B3 Gel Cushioning absorbs impact from high-speed chop or rutted-out landings
- EST mounting system improves board flex and feel, allows near-infinite stance options, and rides exclusively with Burton boards featuring the Channel

Malavita EST Binding
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These bindings are top of the line. From material, buckles, and response. Very comfortable. I ride fast and they handle it fine. This is a great binding for whatever you throw at it. Highly recommended.
Burton Malavita EST Snowboard Binding.
these bindings are all that and a bag of chips, just as they are described, cushy-cumphy and super duper responsive. i'm not a big park guy, i have a tendency to chase the fresh and snapped these on my malolo for a weekend in tahoe, wow! loved em. i'm commimg of a set of c60's and will never go back, just as responsive but so much more tech and comfort, riding swich was like riding regular for me, easy-smeeshy. the only problem i had was i bought a size too large, my bad. goona rock these on a nug next year.....
Great all mountain - freestyle binding
I rode the Burton Cartels last year and loved them. These are a step up from the Cartels and are a good all mountain freestyle binding. They have a little more flex than the Cartels, which are good for the park. They are really comfortable and easy to adjust if you want more response in the powder. The heelcups on these are nice and keep your boot from sliding around to give you fast response on turns. I recommend for anyone who is into all mountain but likes to ride park occasionally too.
Good freestyle binding, works only with an EST board. Bindings are pretty light and can easily be configured any way you like. With the EST system adjustments can be made easily on the fly. Def recommended
Awesome but heavy
Just got mine in the mail and they are really heavy. Other than the weight I can't really say anything bad about these bindings. They feel really comfy on my feet. I wish they had a strap protector. Also, I think I could have gone with an medium to reduce the weight, but I wear a size 10.5 boot and didn't want to risk having my straps maxed out. Can't wait to try them out on the slopes.
malvita bindings..money well spent
Money well spent. They are by far the best binding I've had.(20yrs riding) Once you get them dialed in to your liking you can't even tell they are there. Comfort level when free riding and doing tricks is on point. Burton did their homework when they made these bindings. You won't be disappointed. Take the time to dial them in to your boot size and liking at home so won't miss time riding. I used them on 2 boards a 156 custom and Jeremy Jones 154 and made me like my boards even more.

this year im getting all new gear & i need an experts opinion on what bindings to get, i guess to describe my style- im forsure a park junkie but i also have fun crusin the slopes with buddies who dont hit the park at our mt. i bought a new bataleon evit twin and new white forum kickers, im having trouble deciding between Burton Malavita est stone and Union Atlas glow. im kinda limited cause of color cause my boards orange and white so id like my bindings to be orange or white, so if someone who knows what theyre talking about can help make the right choice or even lead me in the direction of something more suitable thatd be mad cool, thanks
Well EST bindings are not going to work on a non EST board. Maybe check out different Burton bindings. I know there are all orange Union Force bindings, those would probably work well for you.

are these bindings mainy designed for burtons channel boards? i read somewhere that without a channel board you wont get to see the full potential of the malavitas, im riding a t9 board and am wondering if it would be worth it?
Hi Chris,
Malavita EST Bindings can only be used on a board with the Channel.
Check out the Re:Flex Malavita. Go this route for similar board feel that you get out of the EST, but can mount on a 4 or 3 hole pattern.
The Hinge Tech
EST Baseplate Tech
Got to ride these at the US Open demo last year. After 24 years of riding i won't hesitate calling this the Best Binding on the freaking planet. The Sulfur color is so sick.

EST Baseplate Tech

I have the Malavita bindings 2010 L. My issue is that the backs of are too angled and it forces me to bend my legs considerably. Is there a comparable binding to the Malavita that doesn't have as much angle on the backs? or more flexible? My board is a 2009 Burton Custom V-Rocker. Id like to just mountain ride and these binding let me do that for about 5 minutes until they start hurting because the backs are making my half squat. Any suggestion for alternate bindings would be appreciated. Thanks!
You could look at the Rome 390 BOSS that have the adjustable cantering options.
Thanks but I don't think the Rome's will be compatible with the EST's
Are you sure you have properly adjusted your forward lean? I ride high end binders (c60s) but have always preferred zero forward lean. You should be able to adjust your backs to be parralell with your heel side edge: two screws loosened and rotate w two hands. Then use the dial to zero.
I haven't completely tested these as i don't have my boots yet, but i must say these bindings are awesome! The ankle strap is ridiculously comfortable and the top cap is rubberized like all hell (will for sure stay put!). I have yet to test the hinge tech but i'm sure it'll be awesome, read about in the other review! the autocant cushioning is a nice touch too, really comfy. overall i'm crazy stoked for these bindings, and if you've got the cash definitely pick these up you will not be disappointed. The whole burton team rocks these in every condition imaginable, they're bomb-proof freestyle/all mountain bindings, it doesn't get better than that!
I can say first hand that the hinge baseplate is simply amazing to use. It provides a true skate feel on the snow and you will never want to go back to your OG bindings. Pairs well with the Whammy Bar, NUG, or any other reverse camber board to create a truly unique feel for snowboarding.
I've been looking for the colorways of your Malavita, but i can't seem to find it anywhere. Any chance I could nab a set?

KIRMA releases proposed amendments to the POPs Regulations
KIRMA is proposing to amend the Persistent Organic Pollutant (POP) Regulations 2013. POPs are organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation through chemical, biological and photolytic processes. They:
– persist in the environment for long periods
– are capable of long-range transport
– bioaccumulate in human and animal tissue
– biomagnify in food chains
– have potentially significant impacts on human health and the environment.
The Regulation will add 10 POPs substances to Kosrae's Priority List of Hazardous Substances, the sale of which will be banned from January 1 2015, and the use etc of which will be banned from January 1 2016.

Forest Management Regulations released for public comment
KIRMA has today released proposed Protected Area (Forest Management) Regulations for public comment.
The Regulations are enacted under Kosrae's Protected Areas Act of 2010 and aim to regulate and control the harvest and collection of trees and other forest resources in or from any State-owned forests, including mangrove, watershed, wetland and upland forests. Recognising the importance of community involvement in planning processes, the Regulations propose the creation of community forestry management plans. These plans, developed in conjunction with the local community, will involve identifying the important uses of a particular area of forest, both in terms of the important ecological functions they serve and the resources they provide to the local community, and then developing a plan to ensure that there is sustainable management of that forest area, as well as on-going monitoring of the health of the forest.
The Regulation aims to incorporate sound principles of forest management, including requiring KIRMA to adopt codes of practice for sustainable forestry and the commercial harvest of trees.
KIRMA will be holding a series of consultations throughout April and written comments can be submitted until May 2. The proposed Regulations can be found on the "Laws and Regulations" page, and copies can be obtained from KIRMA's office.
Conservation and Enforcement Taskforce created
Five of Kosrae's State government agencies and non-government organisations have joined together to form the Kosrae Conservation and Enforcement Taskforce. The task force aims to increase cooperation and coordination between the agencies to ensure compliance with Kosrae's environmental laws and to sustainably manage and utilise the unique environment and natural resources with which the State has been bestowed.
The taskforce was formed after the parties recognised that an effective cooperative partnership and fair and reasonable enforcement of the laws of Kosrae State are necessary to ensure the conservation and preservation of the State's environment and to achieve the State's commitment to the Micronesia Challenge. The Challenge aims to effectively conserve at least 30 percent of the near-shore marine environment and 20 percent of the terrestrial environment across Micronesia by 2020. A key component of the Challenge is the creation of community identified and enforced marine and terrestrial protected areas.

Conservation Easement a first for Kosrae and Micronesia
Landmark land deal in Micronesia paves way for innovative conservation throughout the Pacific
A unique land protection deal will safeguard 78 acres of forested wetland in the Yela Valley on Kosrae, Micronesia. This is what is hoped to be the first deal of what may be a few aimed to preserve the 1,400 acre valley encompassing the largest stand of Terminalia carolinensis ("Ka") trees in the world, several other endemic plant species and the endangered Micronesian pigeon.
While conservation easements are relatively common in the United States, this is the first conservation easement outside of the Americas. By bringing a new model of conservation to the Federated States of Micronesia, a local family on Kosrae teamed up with government and conservation groups to protect this biologically rich part of the world. This revolutionary land deal is also preserving their culture and traditions – the forest provides local with freshwater, fish from the rivers and traditional medicine. The trunk and immense buttresses of the Ka tree were traditionally used to make canoes, and the nuts are an edible treat for children.

Conservation officers deputized
The first of 25 conservation officers were deputized to enforce Kosrae's environmental laws and regulations in a ceremony conducted by the Lieutenant Governor of Kosrae, Hon. Carson Sigrah, Chief Justice Aliksa Aliksa and Kosrae's Attorney General, Ms Lorrie Johnson-Asher on March 26, 2014.
The officers from KIRMA, Kosrae Conservation and Safety Organization and Yela Environment Landowners Authority will be joined by officers from the Department of Resources and Economic Affairs's Division of Fisheries and Marine Resources and the Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change Program.

Tofol Valley archaeological sites added to Kosrae State Registry of Historic Properties
In July 2013 KIRMA's Board of Commissioners added eight sites in the Tofol valley to the Kosrae State Registry of Historic Properties, on the recommendation of the Historic Preservation office.
The eight sites, located within walking distance of the Kosrae State Museum, provide an excellent and easily accessible series of prehistoric sites that radiocarbon dating has indicated were inhabited between 650AD and 1650AD.

New glass pulveriser for Kosrae's Recycling Program
The Kosrae Recycling Program recently acquired a new glass pulveriser that will be used to crush glass bottles and jars collected by the Island's recycling program. The machine pulverises the glass into two grades of particles that can then be used instead of beach sand when making concrete or for home landscaping projects.
Kosraean's have traditionally mined sacks of beach sand to use in construction projects and to landscape their yards, however, collecting sand and cobbles from the beach and reef flat changes the flow of water around the coastline and increases the effects of waves on the shoreline. This causes erosion of the fragile beach berm that surrounds much of Kosrae and then threatens buildings and other infrastructure that have been constructed there.
The pulverised glass will be available free of charge from the Recycling Program.
The pulveriser was purchased with a grant received from the Australian Embassy – Small Grants Scheme and was acquired with the assistance of Atsushi Noba Sakane, JICA Senior Volunteer, and Kosrae's Overseas Development Assistance Office.
Mainstreaming climate change into Kosrae's EIA process
KIRMA has promulgated amendments to the Regulations for Development Projects. The amendments give effect to the aims of the "Climate Change Act" which was passed by the Kosrae State Legislature in 2011 and gave KIRMA specific powers and duties with respect to mainstreaming climate change considerations. The Regulations now require that explicit consideration is given to the potential impacts of climate change upon a development or activity proposed to be undertaken in Kosrae State, with the project proponent required to provide details of adaptation or mitigation measures in their development application and environmental impact statement (if one is required).
The requirements direct increased attention to the potential impacts of climate change and increased extreme weather events, specifically by identifying a "coastal development risk area". Any development proposals or activities in this area – essentially anywhere around the coast that is within 4 meters of mean sea level – which is vulnerable to inundation during high tide and large swell events and where there is an increased risk of erosion will now require a permit. KIRMA is able to provide advice and assistance to project proponents on identifying and implementing climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.
The amendments also introduce differential fees for private and commercial development review permit applications.
EIA Guideline released for public comment
KIRMA has released a draft of the "Guidelines for Conducting Environmental Impact Assessment and Mainstreaming Climate Change and Sustainable Land Management Practices in the State of Kosrae, FSM". The Guideline provides an explanation of Kosrae's Regulations for Development Projects and the Environmental Impact Assessment process, and sets out the policies, regulations, plans and best practice measures that are in place to prevent, mitigate or compensate the impact of development activities or projects on each of the sustainable land management themes:
- Soils, geology and geomorphology
- Biodiversity and ecological resources
- Water resources
- Coastal and marine resources
- Land ownership use
The Guideline also provides an outline of the key short and long term climate change issues, and sets out the policies, regulations, plans and best practice measures that are in place to prevent and mitigate the impact of climate change on development and activities, and to build community resilience to the impacts of climate change.
The final section of the Guideline provides an evaluation of the EIA process and provides recommendations of activities to strengthen its operation and effectiveness.
Preparation of the Guideline was supported by SPREP. Comments can be submitted to KIRMA until January 24, 2014.

Evolution does not operate with a goal in mind; it does not have foresight. But organisms that have a greater capacity to evolve may fare better in rapidly changing environments. This raises the question: does evolution favor characteristics that increase a species' ability to evolve?
For several years, biologists have attempted to provide evidence that natural selection has acted on evolvability. Now a new paper by University of Pennsylvania researchers offers, for the first time, clear evidence that the answer is yes.
The senior author on the study, published in the journal PLOS Pathogens, is Dustin Brisson, an assistant professor in the School of Arts and Sciences' Department of Biology. His coauthors include Penn's Christopher J. Graves, Vera I. D. Ros and Paul D. Sniegowski, and the University of Kentucky's Brian Stevenson.
"It's not controversial that populations evolve and that some traits are more apt to evolve than others," Brisson said. "What we were asking is whether the ability of an organism to evolve is a trait that natural selection can pick."
For species of viruses, pathogenic bacteria and parasites to survive over the long-term, they must possess an ability to rapidly adapt and evolve, enabling them to stay one step ahead of their hosts' immune systems. But these pathogens don't need to foresee what conditions lie ahead of them. They only must change into something that the immune system has never seen before.
"Pathogens face a very strong selection pressure from the host's immune system," Brisson said. "If they don't adapt, they will die."
The researchers used this fact to seek evidence that natural selection had favored increased evolvability, focusing on the Lyme disease bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi.
B. burgdorferi possesses one protein that is essential for establishing a long-term infection of a mammalian host: VlsE.
In the Lyme bacteria's genome, th

In her 2005 performance Seven Easy Pieces, Marina Abramović reenacted five seminal 1960s and 1970s performance works by her peers and one by herself, while introducing a new work (the seventh "easy piece"). The seven works were performed for seven hours each, over the course of seven consecutive days, and included pieces by Vito Acconci, Joseph Beuys, and Bruce Nauman. This documentary reflects on Abramovic's work and the possibilities of representing and preserving an ephemeral art form. Mangolte introduces the film and joins us for a postscreening Q&A.

February Inspiration: Love You
February is nearly here and you know what that means... Mushy couples being mushy and a bunch of singles talking about being single. I'm going to let you in on a little secret...
Valentine's Day is a pointless holiday that was made into a huge deal by the retail industry. (Thank you Hallmark!)
I love a good Valentine's Day celebration as much as the next gal, but I don't believe that the holiday should carry THIS MUCH weight on it for everyone. Why should LOVE be a holiday? Love is an ACTION that we should repeat EVERY SINGLE DAY, not one day a year where people feel obligated to say or do something society considers special. I think it's predictable and takes the fun out things. Not to mention, LOVE isn't just for couples. This part is for those of you who get all mopey on Valentine's Day. Find your love... not on Valentine's day... not necessarily a significant other... Find it in your family, your friends, your passion, your job... FIND IT. That's the beautiful thing about love - IT IS INFINITE. There's no end to the amount of love you can have or give. So here are a few ways to find love (and keep it) this year...
1. Begin with accepting your flaws and learning to appreciate your assets. Whether it's your ability to crack a good joke at the right time, your hair do, your open mindedness, fashion sense or anything else, learn to LOVE YOU. I know that doesn't always come easy, but start small and work your way up. Learning to love yourself is the first step in accepting all kinds of true love.
2. Appreciate the people in your life who love you unconditionally. Love them back! Be generous with your love. I watched a video recently about gratitude and how showing gratitude positively affects your level of happiness. Show your mom how much you appreciate her making you dinner. Tell your dad he's a great role model. Give your brother or sister a hug. Take your BFFs out to dinner to thank them for being there for you. The more love you GIVE, the happier you will be and the more love you will get in return. But first, give without expectation.
3. Find yourself. Try new hobbies, take classes in different subjects that may interest you, travel. Find your passion. This should be an ONGOING task. Start now. This is something people ask me about really often and I've been wanting to write a little tidbit about it for a while. People often ask me for advice regarding finding a career, and while I think it's important to have a mentor and ask for advice, I also think that should come much later. Most of the people who ask me for career advice are in high school or early years of college. Most people don't know what they want to do in high school or even in college. Hell, a lot of adults don't even figure out what they want to do with their lives until much later on. Find passions. Don't worry about your career. That will come in time. Even when you're down to the wire and need to figure out what to major in in college, just pick something general if you don't know exactly what you want to do. Majors don't matter unless you're trying to be a doctor, nurse, lawyer, etc. Back to the point - explore yourself and find passions in life. It's unbelievably helpful in so many ways. For example, one of my passions outside of work is horseback riding. It's such a stress reliever. Find something that gives you focus and takes your mind off the stresses of life. Be yourself and strive to be the best YOU you can be.
4. If you are in a relationship, sure - celebrate Valentine's Day if you want. Take advantage of those awesome restaurant menus and chocolate souffles... but don't save all of your romanticism up for one day of the year. If you truly care about each other, you should be expressing your love every day. Make your partner a priority all year - not just on one holiday.
5. Don't compare yourself to those around you. It doesn't matter that your best friend has a cool boyfriend and an idea of what she wants to do in life. That's not you. Everyone is on their own journey in life and every time something doesn't go your way (or does!), it's shaping you into the person you're supposed to be. You can help this along by not comparing your journey to others. Take the good with the bad and continue to build yourself into the original YOU you want to be. Recognize that there are so many people who are worse off than you, no matter how bad your day has been. Try to put the bad into perspective and magnify the good.
So there you have it, lovers. Now go tell somebody you love them! :)

Our Editorial Policy (is Up to You).
Which image do you click on?
Q: Why all the posts that involve "nudity," "Nude," "Naked"?
A: As I always say, we do 39 posts to every one that's silly or sexy…but since folks click 39x more on funny or sexy or controversial posts, you get what you click on. Want more on the Everglades, or Health Care Reform, or Climate Change, or ecofashion, or feminism? Then click on 'em when we post 'em. We always try and keep any sexuality or silliness uplifted with good content, humor or insight, and artful respect.
That's the answer for now. The longer-term answer is that since clicks = readership/traffic = ads = sustainability as a business, we're going to offer a subscription this year, full of perks and special freebies via "mindful" advertisers. The cumulative subscriptions will pay for a managing editor, allowing our ed-in-chief (Waylon) to take a step out of micro-managing our traffic and allow us all to offer better quality content, the kind of original, in-depth stuff we used to offer more of as a magazine.
Our goal remains the same: to be chocolate-covered medicine: to offer quality, helpful, in-depth content in a fun, entertaining, accessible package.
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Email us (please put title in subject bar of email so we'll be able to fix). Or do you want to write for Elephant?

Here's a tarp bivy combo that is a bit different.The waterproof part of the bivy goes outside of the tarp and the netting top part of the bivy goes under the tarp.here
but it weighs 1 lb 8 oz !
Anyone have field experience with a similar setup?It seems like if you had a groundsheet under your bivy water might collect and find its way under the tarp. But it seems like a good way to bring a quick and easy bivy for nice nights and a small tarp for those occasional bad weather times.
That's sort of like bivies with raised area over your face with hoop, for example:http://www.rei.com/product/747832/outdoor-research-alpine-bivyExcept the raised area over your face has been expandedThe only thing I don't like, is that it wouldn't take much more fabric to have it completely cover the bivy. If there's water on the outside of bivy, it won't breath as good.
How much does the tarp weigh by itself, I wonder.
This looks like a classic case of a compromise, marginal at everything, great at nothing. There is minimal bug protection, likely condensation from true waterproof lower end of the bivy and heavy by the standards of alternatives without these issue.
Spelt, If I recall correctly the Sierra Designs website lists the tarp at about 1 pound.
I saw them a while back and my impression was that it seems like a lot of trouble for the coverage. A poncho tarp and more conventional WPB bivy with bug screen would be more versatile, allowing lean-to and full-lenth a-frame pitching options, or no overhead shelter at all in good weather. Note the similarity to many of the SMD designs, yet it doesn't provide full coverage. If I'm going to drive all those stakes and tweak a shelter into a taut pitch, I might as well get full coverage and be able to move as I please inside. For comparison, my Gatewood Cape is 11oz and far less expensive.
About 1 pound for tarp.https://www.sierradesigns.com/p-565-asap-tarp.aspx
marketing departments always have to come up with new "ideas" to differentiate em from the competition ...no matter how little sense it makes;)
I'll go with dale on this: MY Gatewood cape is much lighter (I thought mine weighed 10 oz, though), provides full coverage, and provides ample room for me to move around in. I don't need unusual, pragmatic is more like it!
On the other hand, innovation is trying out different ideas. Sometimes it doesn't work out so good. Sometimes it will stimulate some other idea.
This is definitely NOT a good idea for some of teh reasons listed above and others which will make themselves apparent when it is used.They ran the idea up a flagpole but I doubt if many will salute it.
On the other hand, innovation is trying out different ideas. Sometimes it doesn't work out so good. Sometimes it will stimulate some other idea.but those fancy "outdoor" companies always try to sell it at $$$$ prices ...real innovation comes from actual use, not marketing departments ... thats where feature creep comes in;)

Cricket preview: Cavalry return for Marshfield CC's 2014 Wiltshire Division campaign
Posted: May 02, 2014|
The 2014 season will see Marshfield welcome back a raft of players who were not with the club last season as they look to improve on a sixth-place finish in the Wiltshire Division.
Batsman James Williams returns along with Dave Jenkins, Tom Bright and 18-year old all-rounder Will Pascal, with all of the players having played for Marshfield's youth teams.
Club secretary Ben White said: "The senior squad throughout all the teams is definitely stronger than it was last year.
"We may be seen as a feeder club to some of the bigger teams but we've managed to make the club an enjoyable place to play and even when we were losing games last year the spirit was high."
Following relegation to the Wiltshire division in 2011, Marshfield have finished fourth and sixth. A late flourish saw them pull away from the foot of the table last year.
White continued: "Looking at the fixtures there are no easy games and it's a very competitive league. Getting the season off to a good start is important, but from experience, it's not as important as how you end the season."
Marshfield open their season at home to a Winsley side who finished second from bottom following a season of struggle in 2013.

I saw a show that highlighted Reggies collection. It was great. If I'm also correct he took a big hit on his collection during a wild fire. He does have good taste in what he collects and has a little of everything.

R2 Morgan Ranch
The R2 Ranch has been a Morgan Horse Breeding operation for the past 60
years. Due to the economy, we have cut down on our breeding. We sold
our senior stallion Worlds Edge Goldhawk in Sept. 2012 and we still have several young stock by Hawk for sale. We will be standing
MVR Midnight Royal Flush next Spring 2014 Midnight is a 2001, black, 15.3
HH, son of Turfwood Royal Flush by Clement, carrying back to Jubilee
King. Midnight's last foal crop produced two large and correct fillies, as well as two outstanding
colts.. R-Two Top Dollar is our 2003,
bay stallion by R-Two Beaudon, out of Silvertip Sassy by Beckridge Donlyn. Dollar
has produced a stud colt, R2 Dinero, who is broke and shows great promise, as well as several out-crosses
with various other breeds. Dollar
and Dinero are both ready to pass on the old and rare, Waer's Don Juan
bloodlines, which have consistently produced western working Morgans with the mind, attitude and desire it takes
to work on the ranch and win in the arena. We are standing all of these studs in the 2014 season.
I you are interested in breeding or purchasing any of our remaining stock, please contact me at Tel. 406-581-3365. I would be happy to help you with

4,000 receive degrees at Commencement
By : Katie Ellis
Leslie Lander, associate professor of computer science, right, celebrates with students May 19 after the Graduate School's Commencement.
More than 4,000 graduates moved their tassels from right to left last weekend during Binghamton University's 57th Commencement ceremonies. Calling it an exciting day for both graduates and the University, President Lois B. DeFleur spoke of the commitment Binghamton students have shown to helping others and asked graduates to address the challenges facing our world through their talents and humanitarian values.
"I believe this is a hopeful time with many opportunities for college graduates," she said. "And particularly for Binghamton graduates who are well prepared, talented and motivated."
Students marched in three ceremonies, with more than 760 master's degrees and 123 doctoral degrees conferred Saturday evening. About 3,300 bachelor's degrees were awarded at the ceremonies for the professional schools and Harpur College of Arts and Sciences on Sunday. Each ceremony began with a moment of silence for those who died in the Virginia Tech shootings in April.
Allan Lyons '62, honorary degree recipient and CPA, addressed the professional schools audience, commending Binghamton University for providing him with an education that taught him the value of teamwork, the importance of striving for an A+ and, most important, that ethics really matter.
"Whatever we do in our careers — whether we enter business, industry, academics or health care — our first duty is always to the truth," he said.
J. David Singer, an educator and political scientist, received an honorary doctorate at the Harpur College ceremony. His message to graduates as they make a major transition from being consumers of knowledge to becoming users and producers of knowledge, was to "step up your own self-education.
"I hope you acquire a high level of moral autonomy, and that also requires intellectual autonomy," he said. "You now have an opportunity to address many problems facing our country and the global village today."
Student speakers commented on the good times they had and friendships they made while at Binghamton, but also looked to the future.
Justin Martin, who received his doctorate in inorganic chemistry, said the good memories from Binghamton will help him and his fellow graduates "maintain perspective in what will undoubtedly be some difficult days ahead." Martin urged his colleagues to be harbingers of hope and equality. "Let us always treasure opportunities to better ourselves and our communities and let us continue to treasure discoveries like Newton and never forget how great it feels when we discover, create and inspire in our own voice," he said.
Michael Schiffman earned his bachelor's degree in finance and will attend dental school in the fall. He spoke of the value of his Binghamton degree, the motivation shown by students here and the duty those students now have to "go out into the world and do our part to prove that (the University's) investment in us was a good one. … It is now our responsibility and obligation to get out into that world and effect change, not for the sake of changes, but for the betterment of all mankind."
The Harpur ceremony's student speaker, Wui Ip, who earned bachelor's degrees in chemistry and biological sciences, arrived in the United States five years ago and talked of the culture shock he experienced, as well as the culture shock his fellow students lived through as new college students. Though his parents do not speak English and couldn't understand what he was saying to his fellow graduates, his message was clear to everyone else: "When we enter the real world, there will be a new series of 'culture shocks,' but the time in Binghamton has strengthened our abilities to overcome these future challenges. So, if we believe in ourselves and our Binghamton experiences — guess what? We will do great!"

A theatrical society founded in New York City in 1918 by Lawrence Langner, the Theatre Guild was created for the purpose of producing high-quality, noncommercial U.S. and foreign plays. The guild departed from the usual theater practice in that its board of directors shared the responsibility for choice of plays, management, and production. The first two seasons, which included plays by Jacinto Benavente, St. John Ervine, John Masefield, and August Strindberg, demonstrated the artistic soundness of the plan.

As one of the volunteers handing out cold watermelon to the parched Georgia paddlers as they pulled into the park after 21 miles of paddling on the river last Thursday, I was in an enviable position to hear the positive comments about Newnan, Coweta and Chattahoochee Bend State Park (CBSP).
These comments were so positive, in fact, that I feel I must pass them on. In a nutshell, they loved our area and our hospitality. They were impressed with Wednesday's River Fest event, our volunteers and sponsors, the beauty of our downtown, the great restaurants, the fun shops, and the overnight accommodations. They very definitely felt welcomed and vowed to return soon to spend more time in our beautiful county.
The atmosphere of camaraderie continued on Thursday, under the CBSP pavilion while participants partook in the refreshments, read The Newnan Times-Herald, and visited with GA Parks Director Becky Kelley and CBSP staff headed up by park manager Tim Banks. The GA Friends Group of CBSP, Newnan Main Street, the CBSP personnel, and all of the sponsors and participants should take a moment to reflect on a job well done.

Mark Rowe's walk in Snowdonia: Day two
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Environment and travel journalist, Mark Rowe, brings you his experiences of day two of a two-day walk in Snowdonia's National Park.
The steady climb from Abergwyngregyn
It's a lengthy but pleasant plod from the car park to the summit of Drum (770m), and you're unlikely to get there in less than an hour and 20 minutes. The route soon veers away from a row of pylons and swings uphill.
As you approach Drum, the valley below comes into full view - with the distant speck of Llyn Anafon, a reservoir joined umbilically by a narrow access road that hugs the contours of the mountains. Look out for ponies and chough, which benefit from a National Trust project to remove bracken and open up the ground for them to seek out their favoured seeds.
From peak to peak: Drum to Carnedd Llewelyn
It's a long haul from Drum to Foel Fras up a grassy plateau that, while boggy, has the makings of a medieval race course. A clear day will make for a sensational, long-remembered walk. Anglesey lies to the far-north-west. The Menai Straits and bridge are clear too - the straits looking estuarine at low tide. To the north-west you can see an array of offshore windfarms and (just) the Lake District. The western flanks of the Peak District and the Pennines lie to the east, and southwards you can pick out the Cambrian mountains.
Beyond Foel Fras and Carnedd Uchaf, huge, wafer-thin flint stones appear to have sprouted from the ground. The Carneddau range is also the UK's southernmost example of montane heath, more typically found in the Arctic and features you might spot include dwarf willow and juniper.
You can also bag six peaks higher than 900m. Each has a different character and feel: Foel Fras (942m) has a trig point while its substantial ruined cairn hints at a fortification in its Neolithic past; Carnedd Uchaf (926m) is boulder strewn; Foel Grach (976m) feels marooned and lonely in moorland; Carnedd Llewelyn (1064m) - despite being the second highest mountain in Wales and just 20m lower than Snowdon - feels more like a plateau. In front is the stirring sheer face and Cwm of Yr Elen. Carnedd Dafydd (1040m) - nearly an hour's walk away along a narrow ledge of spiky stones that echoes Striding Edge - is the classic peak, a satisfying full stop to the ridgewalk before the path lurches south to the last summit Pen yr Ole Wen (978m).
Carnedd Daffyd
It may be Llyn Idwal that draws the Darwin fans and the GCSE geography students, but the Carneddau provide their own open-air tutorial. As you snake across the ridge from Carnedd Llewylyn to Carnedd Dafydd, look down and trace the wriggling course of the Afon Llafar. Meadow pipits are abundant on the western flanks of the Carneddau and that, in turn, makes for a rare stronghold for the cuckoo, which likes to lay its eggs in the nests of this unsuspecting bird.
The final summit, Pen yr Ole Wen
Thirteen miles in the bank - and the last of the climbs behind you - you might think that dropping down to Llyn Ogwen should provide time for a pat on the back. Not a bit of it. The scramble to the valley from Pen yr Ole Wen is one of the UK's great descents. It has everything, and even the mountain goats among you won't do it in much under an hour.
Things start off easily enough but soon you're squeezing down gullies, using your hands for the first time on this walk. The boulders are unrelenting. You can take your mind off the painstaking process of picking your way over them by feasting on the spectacle of the north face of Tryfan, looking every inch the classic mountain. Finally, you cross a dry-stone wall via a fence and you're back in the land of bracken, foxgloves and gurgling streams.

Though freed from a muddy gumbo, Miss Belvedere now mired in limbo
Miss Belvedere in 2009, and as it looks today. Photos courtesy Ultra One.
When Tulsa authorities pulled the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere that had come to be known as Miss Belvedere from a sealed concrete time capsule after 50 years, revealing a zero-mileage car caked with mud and shot through with rust, it immediately became the most notorious 1957 Plymouth Belvedere on the planet. Notorious, however, does not always translate to valuable or desirable, and as a result, Miss Belvedere sits largely forgotten on the floor of a New Jersey warehouse, unwanted by just about everybody.
The hype surrounding the retrieval of Miss Belvedere, as the car became known, was inescapable in the summer of 2007. Just about every media outlet from CNN to the Podunk Times covered the speculation about the Belvedere's condition, whether it would start up on command after being pulled from its sarcophagus, who would get the car, and what they would do with it. Boyd Coddington, then at (or at least near) the peak of his popularity, was even on hand for its unveiling that June, but as the layers of plastic wrapped around the car to protect it from moisture damage and oxidation were peeled back, it quickly became evident that water had flooded the vault during the Belvedere's subterranean sentence, covered it in a mud mixed with all the chemicals that had leaked out of the car over the decades, and possibly destroyed it. Looking to put a positive spin on the debacle, the Tulsa Historical Society displayed the car alongside other relics from the time capsule in a temporary exhibit, and visitors came in respectable numbers to see the car in person.
As delivered to Ultra One for preservation.
When the car was buried in 1957, Tulsa residents were given a chance to win the car by correctly guessing the population of the city in 2007. The man who had come closest to guessing the actual population of 382,457 was Raymond Humbertson, who had died in 1979. His wife had also died by then, so ownership of the car went to an older sister named Catherine, but at age 93 her days of driving (or taking physical possession of a rusted 1957 Plymouth) were behind her. Catherine's younger sister, LeVeda, then age 85, was also named as an owner, but LeVeda died in November 2010. That leaves three actual owners of Miss Belvedere today: Catherine, who recently celebrated her 100th birthday (and still has a rusty Schlitz beer can, pulled from Miss Belvedere's trunk); her nephew, Robert Carney; and his sister, M.C. Kesner.
Carney, in turn, handed Miss Belvedere over to Dwight Foster of Ultra One, a New Jersey manufacturer of a rust-removing chemical that's claimed to be safe for the surfaces (like paint) beneath the oxidation. In November 2007, with the approval of the car's owners, Miss Belvedere was shrink-wrapped and shipped to Ultra One's warehouse in Hackettstown to begin a process of de-rusting and preservation. At first, it was believed that Miss Belvedere's engine could be saved and restored to run again, and that her lights could be wired to provide a dramatic touch for display. Foster even procured a 1957 Plymouth Savoy as a donor car, and work began in earnest. Miss Belvedere's leaf springs, which had long since rusted through in the acidic water of the time capsule, were replaced with donor springs from the Savoy. The Ultra One process removed a significant amount of the car's exterior rust, and in 2009 pictures began to circulate showing Miss Belvedere in a superficial state of preservation.
Midway through the de-rusting process.
Shortly after those images circulated, however, Miss Belvedere dropped off the public's collective radar, and classic car enthusiasts were left wondering what had become of the wayward Plymouth. When the New York Times caught up with Foster in 2010, they described Miss Belvedere as "more rust than bucket" and quoted Foster as saying that the offer to de-rust the car was a promotional stunt. Late last year, news surfaced that Foster, with Carney's permission, was attempting to donate the car to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. While it's known as "America's attic," Smithsonian representatives told Foster that they do not see it as "America's garage," and the offer was rebuffed, leaving Foster in continued possession of the car. The city of Tulsa also turned down Foster's request to send it back home for public display, noting that the cost to retrieve a rusted and useless car from an old tomb (and, presumably, the giant letdown experienced collectively by the town) still left a bitter taste in some residents' mouths.
As Miss Belvedere sits today, its condition remains largely unchanged since 2009, with all of the reasonable preservation work done that could be done. From a distance, the car almost looks presentable, but up close it becomes evident that the damage is irreversible. Foster compares the car's frame to papier mâché, admitting that "there are spots I could put my hand through if I'm not careful." Utilizing the frame from the donor Plymouth Savoy would be an option if Miss Belvedere were stronger, but the car's sheetmetal is in equally poor condition, especially in the rear. While the exterior has been cleaned, the interior of the body is still caked with mud, and as Foster said, "this is actually shoring up the body panels." The car's laminated safety glass is damaged beyond repair after water seeped between the glass and plastic layers during the car's years in storage. While the steering was functional at first, the steering box is "melted inside," the result of years of corrosion, and none of its electrical systems are even close to functioning. Even transporting the car to another location would be a major undertaking, given Miss Belvedere's fragile condition.
Miss Belvedere's interior. Most of the seat fabric has rotted away, exposing the steel springs.
Foster admits that he has somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000 invested in Miss Belvedere's preservation, but he's equally clear that the car is still the property of Robert Carney, his sister and their aunt Catherine. While Carney did not respond to our request for comment, his sister, M.C., did, and said that she would like to see the car returned to Oklahoma for permanent display. With little interest from the city of Tulsa, that's not likely to happen, but Foster remains hopeful that another museum will show interest in the car. The Smithsonian is clearly off the list of potential museums willing to take possession, but Foster is hoping that the AACA Museum (or a similar institution) has an interest in the car, which exists in an odd void between collector car and historical artifact. As a vintage car, its value is minimal, but as a slice of mid-century Americana, Miss Belvedere is potentially invaluable, particularly if displayed with the other rusted relics from the Tulsa time capsule.
Until Foster finds a museum or other sympathetic caretaker willing to embrace Miss Belvedere, however, it sits in a corner of the Ultra One warehouse, free from its watery tomb but no less trapped in time and place.
Dual-quad De Soto on Tulsa turf
Is it just us, or are wildly good restorations of De Sotos from the 1950s coming into serious vogue? We just saw a whole bunch of them at the Mecum Auction in Indianapolis, and now, here's this shocker that's been consigned to Leake's forthcoming sale in Tulsa, Oklahoma, set for June 10-12. Specifically, it's a 1956 De Soto Fireflite convertible, done up with a nut-and-bolt restoration, outfitted with good stuff like the Adventurer dual-quad package, Benrus steering-wheel clock and Columbia under-dash phonograph. Nice colors, don't you think?
Then there's this rarity. BMW produced only 10 examples of the M1 AHG supercar in 1982, most of which went to either F1 drivers or favored customers. Buyers could specify a full-custom paint scheme, as here. The Leake auction will be in the QuikTrip Center at Expo Square in Tulsa; learn more about the consignments at www.leakecar.com.
More Lost Packard Dealerships aplenty
When we posted the photos of the former Packard dealership in Bridgeport, Connecticut, a couple weeks ago, we had no clue we'd end up finding a motherlode of Packard dealership information at PackardInfo.com, but that's precisely what happened (thanks, Len!). With that inspiration, we not only went back to more thoroughly investigate the Packard dealerships in our previous massive post on the topic (leading to concrete identifications of several), but we also decided to investigate the rest of the Packard dealership photos we found on the Making of Modern Michigan photo archive. So brew yourself a cuppatea, Packard patriots – we've got a lot of ground to cover.
We'll start with the above-pictured dealership based in the Bronx. From the MMM description:
building sits on corner, "Packard" sign on top of building, sign above door reads "Compare! the new 1934 Packard with America's other fine cars," several people on sidewalk in front of building, cars parked on streets. Inscribed on photo back: Packard Motor Car Co., branches/dealerships/agencies, corner of Cortona Ave., Bronx, N.Y., banner on Cortona Ave. side; "Riding Quality safety performance, the new 1934 Packard is your standard of comparison," sign on utility pole "George Washington Bridge," automobiles extreme lefts; 1932 Packard 902, ninth series, standard eight, 8-cylinder, 110-horsepower, 136.5-icnh wheelbase, open car, right; 1931 Chevrolet, 5-person coach.
On PackardInfo.com, we see five dealerships in the Bronx, none of them listed with a Crotona Avenue address (there is no Cortona Avenue in the Bronx, but there is a Crotona). Of the five, only the Packard Motor Car Company of New York (Bronx branch), at 606 E. Fordham Rd., lies on a street that intersects Crotona. And at that corner of Crotona and Fordham, there's one building, a New York State DMV branch building, that appears similar, though horribly defaced by a remodel.
STATUS – Found, still standing, heavily remodeled.
Leake Tulsa – Baker's Dozen
When we cover auctions, I always make sure to take notes and photos of a few extra cars. Sometimes a car will be withdrawn and there won't be a result, or the photo won't come out, or I just can't find a result for that car, so we need some spares. Plus, I can always use them for Auction News and Profile departments.
I did all that and more at Leake in Tulsa in June. I couldn't remember how many we used for a write-up in Muscle Machines, and did an extra eight, just in case. And while I did use up everything I found for Sports & Exotic Car, with another five extras from Hemmings Motor News, there are 13 that may as well not go to waste.
If you disagree with my assessments, then I'm doing something right. But before you tell me I'm way off, I don't use book values, except as a last resort—I base average values on actual recent transactions, both at auction and private party.
Selling prices do not include 8 percent buyer's premium. Since these haven't been read by a copy editor, nor proofed by the editorial department, you can have endless hours of fun at home picking out all my stupid errors! Plus, the art department hasn't massaged them, so they look like crap, just some of the ways we pass the savings onto you, the consumer of free blogs.
Tulsa's at it again – this time, a Harley's going under
The folks in Tulsa seem time-capsule happy. They'll bury motor vehicles left and right. At this rate, in about 2157, the fields around the Oklahoma city will look like my backyard after the dog's done burying all his bones.
Anyway. According to KOTV.com, Tulsa's planning on burying a 2007 Harley-Davidson Street Glide with custom blue denim paint, donated by a local H-D dealership. Oh, and unlike the Belvedere, buried in a vault with uncured concrete, the Harley will be sealed in an above-ground vault, probably not unlike the vault used for the Prowler, due to be unearthed in 2048.
No offense to O'Clair, but do we of 2007 really want to be known for Harley-Davidsons? Though, I guess it's better than being known for a Toyota or a Hyundai.
The Harley will go in the vault in November.
Buried car to be derusted?
Here's an update on Miss Belvedere – you remember, the 1957 Plymouth that was sealed up in a not-so-waterproof time capsule in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and exhumed amid great hoopla in June. It seems that the car is headed to Hackettstown, New Jersey, the home of Ultra One Corporation, manufacturers of a product called Safest Rust Remover.
Ultra One says in a press release that it has reached an agreement with Robert Carney, the nephew of the car's apparent winner, to have the Belvedere chemically derusted and preserved with their proprietary Safest Rust Remover process. Dwight Foster, a representative of Ultra One, expects the rust removal process to take about six months. Carney, of Frederick, Maryland, is the nephew of 93-year-old Catherine Humbertson Johnson, the oldest sister of Raymond Humbertson, who submitted the apparent winning entry in Tulsa's 1957 contest. He is to take possession of the car in a September 14 ceremony.
Sure hope they've got a lot of that stuff. According to an article in the Tulsa World, Carney has no plans to restore the car. "We're not going to take it apart and try to restore it," he told the newspaper. "Ideally, what we'd like to see is that when it's in pretty good shape, the car would go back to Tulsa for another unveiling." They don't say exactly how they're going to do it – I can imagine the car being lowered into a vat, and the chain rising up again with nothing but the carpet.
According to Ultra One, there are plans to get the engine running and all the lamps working before the unveiling. The company promises to document the whole process on their Web site. Might be a good idea to have some Safest Mold Remover on hand.
Ultra One says that its Safest Rust Remover is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and biodegradable, and can take away corrosion while leaving the metal unharmed. It leaves rubber, plastic, seals, and most paints untouched. I've actually used the stuff on the turbo heat sheild on my 1994 Saab 900, and I can say that it worked as advertised.
check your time capsules: Vega, Mini in danger, possibly others?
So after the Tulsarama disaster revealed a craptacular Belvedere after 50 years in a concrete vault, it might be worth checking up on the other cars in capsules around the world.
For instance, a 1975 Chevrolet Vega's probably one ton of dust right now in a time capsule in Seward, Nebraska. Hardware store owner Harold Keith Davisson built what he claimed was the world's largest time capsule and sealed it on July 4, 1975, with the aforementioned Vega, "a blue Kawasaki motorcycle, a bolt of polyester fabric and a pattern, a Teflon frying pan, soda pop, a pair of bikini panties, and a blue leisure suit with stitched yellow flowers." Apparently, a 1975 Datsun was added in a separate concrete pyramid in 1983. The capsule(s) won't be opened until 2025.
More recently, a Mini was entombed in London's Millennium vault, along with a Sony Walkman, a collection of jokes and letters from British personalities, including Prime Minister Tony Blair. Don't expect to see that one until the year 3000.
Paul Hudson, the apparent spokesman for the International Time Capsule Society, said that he knows of no other time capsules that contain cars. "It's usually a pretty big deal when they put a whole car in," he said.
If you know of any other intentional time capsules that included automobiles, though, let us know.
(Image above, BTW, from Michael Bates's excellent flickr photostream of the Tulsarama Belvedere unveiling.)
Buried Car update: Yep, she's wet
So yesterday, the Tulsarama folks did a test-lift of their time-capsule submarine '57 Belvedere, live, apparently, on Tulsa's Fox 23. And yes, the 100-year plastic wrap had ripped, showing the right rear fender, thoroughly rusty. The only real surprise is that there's any sheetmetal at all left.
Anyone know anything about reducing environments? Could it be preserved, like a shipwreck in deep water? We're guessing, "no."
Thanks to Michael for the tip
UPDATE: We've learned that rodder Boyd Coddington will be tasked with getting it running again; he'll be inspecting it on Saturday after the unveiling tonight at 7 pm.
BREAKING: Buried Belevdere is emerging–and it won't be pretty
In Tulsa, Oklahoma this morning, the famous buried time-capsule 1957 Plymouth Belvedere is being unearthed, and early reports are that it's not going to be good.
According to eyewitnesses, when the concrete capsule surrounding the car was breached, several feet of standing water was found inside, with evidence that the whole thing had been repeatedly flooded over the years. The car itself is "sealed" in layers of plastic and canvas, and greased up, but the smart money says there won't be much left. Progress has been slowed because of the presence of a Hazmat team, called in to dispose of the possibly toxic sludge.

Plymouth under ground
Interest is building for the unearthing of the Plymouth that was buried in Oklahoma during the Eisenhower era. Back on June 15, 1957, a brand new Plymouth Belvedere was buried in downtown Tulsa as part of a time capsule for that year's Tulsarama festival.
Now, a half-century later and in conjunction with Oklahoma's Centennial, this historic Mopar will be unearthed on June 15 and put on display at the Tulsa Convention Center. To help celebrate this momentous occasion, there will also be a vintage car show taking place from June 15-17.
