Mavic Notch Graphic Long Sleeve Jersey $0.00
When loamy dirt prevails, pull on Mavic's Notch Graphic Long Sleeve Jersey and hit the trails. It's Ride Wick fabric, relaxed cut, and Hot Ride technology will keep you cool and collected when things start to heat up.
Mavic's Ride Wick fabric quickly pulls perspiration away from your skin in order to prevent dampness and discomfort during long days in the saddle. All the while, Mavic engineered this material to be incredibly soft on the skin. However, Ride Wick doesn't sacrifice durability for comfort. In fact, the fabric is highly resistant to abrasion, and it's fit is loose enough to wear over most body armor.
Additionally, Ride Wick's polyester knit has received Mavic's proprietary Hot Ride technology, meaning that it will keep you cool and relaxed in temperature ranges up to around 82 degrees. Mavic also designed this material to assist in protecting your skin by engineering it to provide a UPF 30+ level of protection -- just in case you find yourself on exposed desert slick rock.
The Mavic Notch Graphic Long Sleeve Jersey is available in six sizes from X-Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black, White/black, and Yellow Mavic/black.

Good all around long sleeve
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've found the fit and breathability of this jersey to be quite good. Used it on warm days and cool evenings and never thought I wished I was wearing another. Can't speak for the other reviewers experience, can't say as I relate to any of it. I would classify it as a good trail/AM jersey. Definetly not a DH jersey and that's why I like it. Little extra protection from the sun and poison oak.
Worst jersey EVER!!
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
WOW! I cannot believe the quality of this jersey. It is absolutely terrible! I have never had a jersey fit like this. I am tall (6'5") so it's hard to find jerseys that are long enough. But this doesn't even come close! The fit is horrible! It's not a consistent fit throughout the jersey, it's tight in the shoulders, baggy in the middle, and has short arms! It's super thin, so it will breath well during the hot summer but I believe all it will take is one spill and the jersey will be completely destroyed. It's a sweet looking jersey and I'm very dissapointed that I have to return it. It's definitely not worth the $70 msrp price and definitely not worth the $27.98 SALE price. It's that BAD folks! I also bough the short sleeve version of this jersey and will be returning that as well. The fit is funky and cheap! I wouldn't even bother folks, look elsewhere for quality! It's a shame with a name like Mavic that their apparel has to be to this quality.

Pearce's efforts supported
Dear Editor:
I always get a grin reading Ellen Wedum's perceptions of what really happens in the world. Her recent Little Bear fire letter was no exception.
Her expertise on the subject is doubtful beginning with firefighters cutting down "300-foot-tall trees."
Ms. Wedum might do well to consider the fact that New Mexico has no 300-foot-tall trees. As a matter of fact, the state's tallest tree is a 156-foot Rocky Mountain White Fir. Our tallest Ponderosa Pine is 114 feet in height. Nope, no 300-foot-tall trees anywhere in New Mexico.
Equally inaccurate is her condemnation of Congressman Pearce — who she blames for a 4 to 5 percent U. S. Forest Service budget cut for each of the past three years. Her conclusion is firefighters are now unable to extinguish forest fires due to Republican budget cuts. I believe she misses the mark on both her facts and her conclusion.
Congressman Pearce has the right to ask U. S. Forest Service officials the tough questions. It seems to me that during the events of the Little Bear Fire a lot of things were done right and some things were wrong. Congressman Pearce seeks answers to help avoid repeating a tragedy in our dry and over-grown forests. I salute both our firefighters and Congressman Pearce for their hard work and dedicated service to our country and community.
In the meantime, I await her next letter setting us all straight on the events of the day.
Yours very truly,
Phelps Anderson
Street closures irritating
Dear Editor:
For years we have been going to a friend's house on Sycamore to watch the Fourth of July fireworks display.
Not this year. We couldn't get there from here. While there always has been heavy traffic it was easily manageable. But this year with RPD out in full force and barricading every road, there was no way to get there. And traffic was a nightmare.
We started out about 8:20 to get there by 8:30 as we usually do.
Got down Eighth Street to somewhere and it was blocked off.
So we turned around and went back to Union and and went to Second. Drove down Second to Sycamore and turned down Sycamore. At Eighth Street Sycamore was blocked and so was Eighth Street at that point.
We turned west on Eighth until I found a through street that got us to Login to read more

Xash3D Engine build 2664 and XashXT v0.65 rev.1 are released1 year ago News 0 comments
Greetings! This spring brings to us another double update of Xash3D Engine and Xash Mod, they are both already awaiting for you in Downloads section :)
Custom Gold Source Engine build from a scratch
Unkle Mike (aka G-Cont, aka Дядя Миша) - main developer
HLFX.ru & CS-Mapping.com.ua forum members - help, support, testing
CortexReaver, nemyax - English translation
Xash3D Engine has been tested for compatibility with many of Gold Source games and MODs. At this moment it should provide you an ability to successfully complete almost any existing singleplayer Half-Life mod without compatibility problems. Some mods can be not totally compatible, if they are too hardly modified or using some very specific or unstable features of Gold Source engine. Also multiplayer part of Xash3D engine is not fully completed yet because of lack of some important information and hidden source codes of Gold Source engine. So in most cases multiplayer mods should work good in a local or a LAN game, but some features can not work or work not exactly as under Gold Source engine. Check a detailed list of tested mods and a list of tested maps in "Features" section. A full list of Xash3D Engine features is also there, plus a guide on how to get work Half-Life and its' mods under Xash3D (in English and in Russian).
Basic limits.
Xash3D limits are not just higher than Half-Life ones, they also can be tuned in gameinfo.txt file.
- MAX_EDICTS is 600 - 4096 (versus 900 in Half-Life).
- MAX_TEMPENTS is 300 - 2048 (vs. 500).
- MAX_PARTICLES is 1024 - 8192 (vs. 4096).
- MAX_BEAMS is 64 - 512 (vs. 64)
Careful limits reduction can save RAM in mods which don't need many edicts. Also MAX_EDICTS parameter is broadcasted from server during a multiplayer session, it adjusts clients to new conditions automatically.
These limits are engine-hardcoded and can not be tuned by user.
- MAX_VISIBLE_PACKET is 512 entities (256 in Half-Life).
- MAX_MODELS is 2048 unique models (including sprites and bmodels)
- MAX_SOUNDS is 2048
- MAX_SENTENCES is 2048 (1534 in Half-Life)
- MAX_USER_MESSAGES is 191 (128 in WON Half-Life)
- MAX_TEXTURES is 4096 (2048 of them can be used for VGUI)
- MAX_MESSAGES is 2048 (1024 in Half-Life) (quantity of messages in titles.txt)
- Maximum size for indexed textures is 4096х4096 (vs. 512х512 in Half-Life)
- Maximum size for true-color textures is 4096x4096.
- MAX_MAP_MODELS 1024 (256 in half-life)
- MAX_MAP_LEAFS 32767 (8192 in half-life)
Note: other BSP-model limits are specified by compiler tools and don't depend on the engine.
Xash3D allows to get more accurate value of current lighting level, because it considers lightstyles and their current values. The player's lighting is taken directly from renderer and considers all lighting types, including entity light and dynamic light.
Half-Life supports decal save only on world surfaces and very rare on doors, elevators and other moving models. Xash3D saves decals on every brush model. Decal transition between levels is also maintained (implemented in Half-Life, but doesn't really work).
This technology allows to load entities from external .ent script file. This script can be produced by the external ripent.exe application or by engine's facilities by typing the entpatch command. If the command is entered when a map is loaded, a new entity patch will be created.
Xash3D supports following BSP-map formats: Quake 1, Half-Life, Half-Life Blue Shift. Besides, Quake 1 external bmodels are supported (medikit and ammo models). Note: it is recommended to play Quake 1 maps in Deathmatch Classic mod to prevent stuckness of player because of the difference between hull's sizes of Half-Life and Quake.
Xash3D allows to precache models "on the fly" that helps to avoid nasty PF_PRECACHE_ERROR. Also Xash3D doesn't crash if a model or sound wasn't found.
Before switching to a next map Xash3D will analyze its state (without unloading the current map) and decides whether correct changelevel procedure is possible. In case of any error in a next map the engine will signal about it in the developer's console, and the changelevel will be aborted. The error message also contains troubleshoot tips that can make level designer's life easier, because such errors are most difficult to diagnose and fix.
To display credits and exit the game after, run the pfnEndSection command with oem_end_credits argument. The credits code is placed in menu.dll and can be changed by user at his discretion.
Xash3D entities behave more stable on moving platforms and don't shift away on sharp turns.
It allows to tie one entity to another, taking into account movement and rotation of the former entity. You can see an example in SDK - a crossbow bolt that correctly attaches itself to func_pushable, func_rotating, func_tracktrain and other brush models.
Xash3D has a powerful console autocomplete system that allows not just print command lists, but also describe all of them during the search. For more comfort you can type "makehelp" in the console, and the engine will generate help.txt that contains the list of all commands and variables with short descriptions. Map, movie, background track, cfg script, save, weapon (give command), sound (play command), game directory names input is also assisted by the autocomplete feature.
Most Quake engines are restricted to the parent directory with specific name, which doesn't matter when you make mod, but very uncomfortable when you make total game conversion and therefore replace the parent directory. Xash3D doesn't restricted to specific folder, and the parent directory is defined by the launcher. This way you can make your own game that doesn't depend on Half-Life.
Dedicated server has the autocomplete feature now, your command history can be saved.
Background map is a map to be displayed as a menu background. You could see them in Half-Life 2. Xash has a simplier background map system - it doesn't depend on unlocked chapters (because original Half-Life has no chapters system) and it chooses the background map from the list. This list file must be named as chapterbackgrounds.txt and placed in scripts directory (if you don't have such directory, then just make it). Every list's entry is separated by new line. You can use any playable map as the background, but better don't use maps where player starts in a moving train, because it won't look good.
Turned off by default. Doesn't work with short sequences like switching on and off the light. It smooths light animation very well on long slow sequences like SlowStrobe or SlowPulse. Note: FPS rate may suffer from this option.
You can see such textures in original quake maps as glowing fields on a texture. Because this feature is caused by the Quake pallet's special features, the engine enables it for textures that have Quake or Quake2 pallet. This pallet is saved well after the simple conversion of wad2 files to wad3.
Improved model lighting includes per-bone lighting from static and dynamic light sources, and it also includes correct model lighting on every stage of long sequence execution, when model goes far enough from its real location. The best example is forklift.mdl Sprite lighting is a correct lighting of all sprites that is rendered in additive mode and had "alphtest" during the compilation. For example, blood decals uses the world lighting and doesn't glow in darkness. Both sprites and models don't just use the world lighting, but also consider lighting of the closest brush model if there is one.
Instead of a usual player image you can see his 3D model in the menu and track all changes right on-the-spot.
Hi, all. There are some new information about the project. Currently the official (by Unkle Mike) work on development of Xash3D/XashXT has been slowed down for an indeterminate time, for the reason that another work has been started. Unkle Mike decided to switch his efforts on development of the new engine, XashNT. This engine will be a further continuation of Xash3D/XashXT, with a support of most usual modmaking tools, but now it will be much more farther from GoldSrc even before. It will be totally independent engine, intended exclusively for creating of new games. It will not support any of already existing Half-Life mods. Its' code will be totally rewritten.
The code of a rendering system will be based on GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language), this will make the new engine faster. New renderer will support all popular modern graphics enhancemets, as bump, parallax, water effects, daytime changes etc. Client/server part of code will be revised for better optimization. Also, with a refusal from support of GoldSrc now it will be possible to implement a fully working multiplayer system. Other planned features are: new map format (with a support of huge spaces, env_cubemaps and other things), new game physics (probably now without using of PhysX), extending of GoldSrc model format (old models will be supported too, but new models will also have some advanced features, as ragdoll etc.). Entity system for a first time will be the same as in XashXT.
When a pilot version of XashNT will be ready, a closed beta-testing will start. Members for CBT will be chosen personally by Unkle Mike (probably most of them will be only active game/mod developers, who already have appropriate projects based on Xash3D+XashXT and ready to move on the new engine, or skilled enough to experiment with it). If you have any ideas for the new engine, you are welcome to tell about them in the following thread (the forum is on russian, but you can use english easily):
Update from September 25, 2015:
Xash3D Engine has been updated to the build 3153 (experimental), which is available now in Downloads section! Latest stable build 3030 is also there. And don't forget about XashXT which is ready for your pleasure too (by the way, it have to be updated in the nearest future to feat of some new features of the experimental build).
If you a new with Xash3D, please, check this manual about proper installing of the engine. XashXT should be installed in a same folder with the engine, as addon/mod for it (with its' own executable - xash.exe).
P. S. Useful information about compatibility of Xash3D and different singleplayer Half-Life mods and maps is in The list of tested Half-Life mods and in The list of tested Half-Life maps.

Hi, I have a problem with the func_screenmovie entity. I use a ambient_generic for the sound of the movie, but there is a problem to run both synchronously. If the player is standing at the movie brush and the ambient_generic and the movie is started, everything is fine and the sound is synchronous, but when leaving the hearing range of the ambient_generic, the sound stops at the last heared position and the movie continue in the background even if the player is far away. Coming back into range continue the sound playback at the stopped time, but now it is no longer synchronous to the movie. The "play everywhere" flag is no option, I am afraid. Is there a way to solve this or can't it be done without rewriting the moviesystem?
P.S. Now that the new renderer is not so far away anymore, I was wondering, will the first version be 100% XashXT compatible? Will the normal Half-Life still be 100% supported or must be everything coded from scratch if you want monsters, weapons and so on? I spend a really long time on coding the XashXT SDK and hope I can merge my new code and changes with XashNT. Besides the new features, I really would like to have a lot better performance to use effects like mirror and shader water already in XashXT in common.
P.P.S. Is it normal, that the player flashlight (XashXT) boosts the epoly count into the roof when activated? It seems my epolys are doubled if the flashlight is on. I only use HD models so this is even more a reason i would like better performance. In some cases the flashlight alone produces over 100000 epolys. The normal HL flashlight do not increase the epolys. Is this a bug or the "paranoia" flashlite feature?
Thanks for the answers. I will do some tests with the movie feature.
Even if released next year, I am very interested in XashNT and really hope it will be fully compatible (with the today XashXT) and all old file formats will be supported too. It would be sad if all my work was for noting on release day of the new renderer and I must start from scratch.
Keep up the good work.
You will be able to release this work under Xash3D anyway. But I'm pretty sure, that you'll have no problems with porting your of work to XashNT too. The main idea is to make all old stuff potentially compatible, it only will need some work for adaptation. Just save all the sources of your work for the future.
Thank you. Then I am reassured. It is not only the code, but models, maps, sprites, textures etc. I was worried about.
I'm looking forward to follow the progress of XashNT.
If you look at Xash so far, it can only be fantastic.
I almost forgot, I had another question. I have a strange bug with env_projector. If on a map, there is a strange graphic glitch box on the left side in the hud (looks like 2-3 camera screens of my view). This occurs even on the official testmap. The glitch is only visible if in sight of the entity and if turned on. Is this a bug, or am I using the env_projector wrong?
Are you using modified opengl32.dll together with XashXT? If yes, it's a problem of this dll. This is its' reaction on dynamic lighting in XashXT. It doesn't support Xash properly and can cause other glitches, depending on its' settings and videocard used.
Ah, ok. I'm using QeffectsGL for anti aliasing and SSAO (bloom is deactivated and activated in XashXT's build in feature).
I will decide later if this entity is worth it or if I skip it in my maps.
Thank you for all the help and time.
Enabling SSAO in this plugin causes totally black screen on NVidia cards with recent drivers. And you may have significant performance drops because of this dll when using specific lighting effects (including possible issues with XashXT flashlight). Of course, you still can use it for your own needs, but there can be problems if you want to share this with other people. Also, you can set anisotropy directly in Xash3D using gl_anisotropy cvar.
My main PC is a powerful gaming system with a nvidia 780GTX and my second computer has a nvidia 670GTX with latest drivers and no black screen issues. I used this dll from the start with Xash3D and besides the env_projector bug now, I never noticed any problems so far, but what you said makes me think.
After some tests with and without the dll, I can not confirm a performance hit. My main system can handle my test environments easy with 60fps, even at over 350000 epoly's, but what are "bpoly"? The other values with r_speeds 1 active are clear, but I do not know what bpoly stands for. If these rise above 60 with many epolys together, my framerate drops. There are only a few spots with these high bpoly values and only if I look in the right angle. The strange thing is, there is in most cases nothing but simple walls in view. In a old mirror testmap I got over 800 bpoly and my fps dropped to 25-30. Removing the opengl dll have no effect on the fps in these cases. For now I made the custom opengl dll optional just in case, but keeping it for further tests in my workversion.
The gl_anisotropy cvar I already use since the beginning in my userconfig. What i meant was Anti-Aliasing also known as Multisample (smooth edges of 3D objects). This is not by chance already supported by Xash3D too?
Specific lighting on a map can cause performance drops, especially with bloom enabled. But your specs are high enough and you can have no problems with this. Multisampling is not presenting in Xash3D options, as I know.
Well, no one tested this video/sound sync issue before. So you can only experiment with this on yourself. Possibly adjusting of some entity settings will do the trick. Or make this event timed (to disable both video & sound after some time) or something else. What about XashNT, I think it will be possible to move your project on it from XashXT, because the list of entities will be the same. But XashNT is not so close for its public release, as I can assume. And about flashlight. In XashXT flashlight produce a dynamic lighting on objects, that's why it causes a perfomance drop. It should be possible to disable extended lighting via cvars, as I can remember.
About the XashNT part of your message:
As I understood, XashNT will be a something even more different from GS and it compatability will not be the main thing. The Devs will make it, so it would run better, faster and have more additions. XashNT will be similar with Xash3D, but it will be whole different beast.
I was wondering if the team will port Xash source code to VS2010/2013.
It will barely happen now. Only if someone except Unkle Mike will do it.
Is there's way to compile XashXT source with cygwin? Downloading VS is nearly impossible for me...
The only way to compile with another program is to rewrite the code itself.
Anyone having red lighting/"fog" problem with Intel graphics can be fixed by disabling (setting it to zero) either option in opengl.cfg:
It worked for me with only setting gl_sgis_generate_mipmaps to zero. I have an Intel G41 Express which is considered ancient by now, but it does its job well.
Very useful, thanks. Can't test it myself, but maybe this helps for someone.
Hi, I am almost finished with the coding part of my modding base (based on XashXT) and thought it would be nice to make a enhanced Half-Life with my new effects, monsters and weapons too. On my tests I noticed a critical crash bug with XashXT (even unmodified). The HL chapter "on a rail" (starting with c2a2) crashes the game on every map. With help of the "entpatch" command and deleting entities, I managed to find the problem in the "path_track" entity. If there is a "altpath" defined, but the target does not exist in the map, the game crashes. After some trial and error, I was able to fix this bug by myself this time, even without real C++ knowledge. Maybe it is useful to Uncle Mike, although Xash ist final.
On server side open up "pathcorner.cpp" and near line 127 replace this:
m_paltpath = CPathTrack :: Instance( pTarget->edict() );
...with this:
if( pTarget )
m_paltpath = CPathTrack :: Instance( pTarget->edict() );
I hope this helps and is the correct way to fix this. My tests where all perfectly fine with this.
Hmm, looks like it's XashXT v0.65 error. There was no such bug previously. Thanks, this can be helpful.

The writers of this engine don't care about copyright at all. The engine is riddled with valve code, some from the hl sdk, possibly some from the hl2 beta leak... Bottom line, it's illegal.
Note: this review was written on 12/29/13, and may not reflect how the code is later...

The SVC goes in your amp effects loop. This allows you to control your volume without changing the gain you have dialed in at the front of the Preamp. The SVC can also be used between your last pedal and the front of the amp, but keeping your gain consistent while changing volume will not be as effective.
Because the SVC is not an effect, it does not require any power source such as batteries.
The SVC is designed to be placed on your pedal board and foot operated. Since the signal coming from the amp effects loop is low impedance, the cables running from the amp to the SVC will not degrade the sound.

better than a conventional volume pedal, the boss 500h tube seemed good but its size is huge, this exceeded my expectations pedal is small and super functional, the only problem is that if you do not have pedalboard does not work, you need to be fixed and get used to the takes time.

I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp that is insanely loud. The volume on channel one (with only a gain knob, no master volume) goes from nothing to too loud before you even get the knob to "1". It's impossible to practice with at home, and it's too loud to use in church. I was considering dumping it for a lower power amp, but I've had it for years and am quite attached to it. Plus, I love the tone.
Enter the EWS subtle volume. I read somewhere online that people with a similar problem with this amp have had success putting a volume pedal or volume knob in the effects loop. I tried my Ernie Ball VP Jr, and the principle did work, but I felt like I lost some tone, and I had to have the volume pedal all of the way down so it was barely on. There would be no way to control that accurately in a live setting. I tried the EWS, and it works brilliantly! I barely have the volume up at all on the EWS (probably up to about 1.5-2, but it allows me to run my effects at full volume, and put the gain on the amp at about 3, getting a warmer, more saturated tone, which I can then control the overall volume of with the EWS. It makes it possible to practice in the bedroom at night (which is right next to our daughter's bedroom and it doesn't wake her up), and my guitar amp won't drown out the church choir anymore.
There are similar, cheaper volume knobs on ebay that might do the same thing, but they're made of plastic, and you never know what you're getting on ebay. This pedal feels very well made, very solid, with a smooth-moving pot. It will be a permanent part of my amp for years to come, I'm sure.

I ordered this pedal to try it out, and I can't be more happy with it, first the size of this volume pedal is great, it will save space in my board and I think that's what a lot of guitar players want. The price is very important too and this price is awesome, but don't get fooled this is top quality it works perfect it is very comfortable and easy to control, great great volume pedal!!

Thinking about making a top quilt for spring/fall temps, and to use over my 35* bag for winter. With the goal of using 2 bags to cover the 3 temp ranges. Is that way off base, or have people done this?Is it fair to add the weight of fill and compare that to a known bag? Say: (1lb fill + 1.5lb fill bags) = a bag with 2.5lb of fill temp rating?I will control the amount of fill pretty carefully to get to a rating that makes sense as a stand-alone fall/spring bag and to supplement my 35 for the colder months. How do you all determine fill weight to achieve a certain expected temp rating?I'll be inside a bivy under a tarp, or more likely in my double-wall tent if I expect snow. On a therma-rest when the temps call for insulation. Would wear my 1lb down puffy too.Second question, anyone made a quilt that you can fairly easily add/remove fill to save weight for a specific temp trip? Almost certainly going to work with synthetic fill. Down is great but I'm not confident in keeping dry yet. I could make horizontal tubes and just make one end have velcro, or even just overlapping flaps, so I can re-stuff it as needed. Will no vertical baffles be bad in keeping the fill even?
> With the goal of using 2 bags to cover the 3 temp ranges. Fairly common for many walkers who also ski tour.> more likely in my double-wall tent if I expect snow.That would be far more intelligent!Cheers
Thanks, Roger.I coincidentally just saw your old post saying you used Pertex Microlight to make a bag.It's 50% heavier than Quantum. Not too concerned with the weight if it comes with a real benefit, but not seeing any listed in my reading. [Quantum is 50% heavier still than M50 or Nobul1, both 10D, suspect that won't meet my durability needs]. What is best practice here? Durable outside or inside? more breathable in or out? Can 10D hold up a few seasons as an inner layer?I'm thinking Quantum outer, M90-tafeta inner for better feel (though it will rarely touch skin). My current bag is quantum in/out and I like the feel, and have never had condensation.Probably going to use 2 layers of 5oz/sqyd Climashield apex. Approx. 2lb fill weight, for 15-20* temps, hoping for zero with both bags.
RickColin Ibbotson has made a removeable fill synthetic quilt here:http://tramplite.com/2013/10/myog-synthetic-quilt.htmlHis is an an intersting project, but personally, I'd just make 2 different rated quilts. Seems a lot of fiddly work for no real aggregate advantage. I made a climashield xp quilt 4 years ago. The insulation is formed in quite 'solid' sheets. I agree with others that quilting/baffles are not really needed to stabilise the insulation. Just stitch around the perimeter, and treat the quilt with care. I have big feet and after 2 footbox iterations (drawstring and zip) found it hard to get enough footroom so I made (and prefer) a permanent footbox (with a sewn-in oval panel at the foot end) I made it large enough to slip over the foot of my -3*C rated down sleeping bag for use as a winter topbag.I used pertex microlight outside and a lighter cheap uncoated taffeta inside. Been used down to frosty (with clothing) for tent tarp and WPB bivi use.
Thanks - That is an interesting project, and it is complicated. I guess one could make a second (third?) layer with only one face that attached to the top of a full quilt, 3 shells vs 4. But I agree it all is a little fiddly to bother. I spent a long time looking at quilt projects, and his approach to this project is commendable!In my research, I decided I'm best served making the lightest down quilt I can stand for the warmest summer months, and use it to extend my 35* further into the fall. The cost for 5-8oz ounces of down is not as bad as I thought, to just jump in and see what happens. At least for this winter's sewing project (hard to finish a project just in time for it to be too warm to use it!)

ROAD WARRIORS – The two principals of Botsini-Prime LLC, which owns the Wendy's property, Greg and Harry Botsivales, watch the proceedings from the back of the Town Hall hearing room.
ZBA gets preview of land court case
Botsini-Prime LLC attorney Eliza Cox of Nutter, McClennen and Fish in Hyannis provided a glimpse of the legal arguments in its appeal of the Cape Cod Commission approvals for Barnstable Municipal Airport at Wednesday night's zoning board of appeals hearing.
Botsini-Prime, which owns the Wendy's property across from the airport, is appealing the validity of the building permits for the airport's new traffic control tower and terminal. Cox argued that the building commissioner erred because timely appeals of Cape Cod Commission development of regional impact modifications need to be final before permits can issue. She said that despite a letter and actions by the commission's staff contrary to that, the town's building commissioner should not have allowed construction to proceed.
ZBA member William Newton said he would have a hard time finding fault with the building commissioner, based on the letter he was provided by the Cape Cod Commission's executive director giving the agency's go-ahead. Fellow ZBA member Mike Hersey wasn't so sure. He said there seemed to be a number of things that raised questions. The board decided that it needed an opinion on jurisdiction from the town attorney before moving further with the hearing and voted to continue to April 13.
Botsiti-Prime LLC, the airport and Cape Cod Commission, will be in Massachusetts Land Court beginning Tuesday on DRI appeals, unless an agreement can be reached beforehand.

No name yet for this one (another gift for my Wife this Christmas), but the wood is honey locust with an oak dowel tenoned into the top. The inlay is epoxy resin glaze over agates. I had to carve out a pretty large area that had severely checked while drying and then fill with the agates and epoxy. Slab is about 4 inches high and about 12 inches from end to end. Finish process is the same as the other project I just posted.
Comments welcome.
Thanks for looking.

As A People Who Do What Jesus Commands
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you. (John 15:12-16, emphasis added)
The noted anthropologist Margaret Mead was once asked what she considered to be the hallmark of civilization. Her response was not a noted artifact, nor an established discovery. Her answer was, "A healed femur." A broken leg allowed to heal bespeaks a compassionate community where responsibilities are shared and time for growth occurs. We take on each others' burdens and tend to one another. Jesus commands us to love each other; he calls us "friends." We are no longer only serving God, we are befriended by God and entrusted with God's work: to heal the sick, to feed the hungry, to comfort the afflicted, and to afflict the comfortable.
God's mercy, love, and compassion are the hallmarks of our civilization; our breaks and rifts need time to heal and new growth needs to set in. While we may differ in matters of doctrine and authority, we know we are all called to be friends of God in this time, to take on each others' burdens, and tend to each other. In a community where we are all called to witness to the love of God through our daily actions, what fruit do we bear?
Leslie Manning
Query for Reflection
How does my life reflect having been chosen as a friend of God?
Action Step
Show love to all of God's people.
Prayer Focus
Help us be a compassionate community, showing mercy and kindness, giving space for healing, and bearing one another's burdens.

"If It's an Arab or Muslim, They Come in a Heartbeat"
by Daniel Pipes
The Philadelphia Inquirer today quotes police Chief Raymond Fluck of Green Lane, Pennsylvania saying this of federal law enforcement officers: "Before 9/11, if you had a person who was illegal, it was hard to get them picked up. Now, if it's an Arab or Muslim, they come in a heartbeat. But not for the others." This and other evidence in the same article ("U.S. agents limit scrutiny of illegal-immigrant arrests; Local cases are ignored if the person is not from a "high risk" country or a known criminal") point again to the de facto profiling that law enforcement is engaged in, based on nationality, quite contrary to official policy. This brings to mind what I wrote earlier this year:
Muslims are already subjected to added scrutiny; the time has come for politicians to catch up to reality and formally acknowledge what are now quasi-clandestine practices. Doing so places these issues in the public arena, where they can openly be debated.
Such debate will also make it possible to focus on the nature of the enemy, who in my view is not defined by nationality, religion, or appearance but by ideology. (September 9, 2003)

Walmart workers hold food drive – for each other
Yesterday, it was revealed that employees at a Cleveland Wal-Mart are holding a holiday food drive for other Wal-Mart employees.
This situation says everything about what's wrong with the U.S. economy right now.
Wal-Mart is one of the richest companies in the world.
Wal-Mart has a market value of $260 billion and made $17 billion in profit last year.
But Wal-Mart does not pay its employees enough to buy food for the holidays.
America's corporations and investors have never had it better. The stock market is setting new highs, and corporate profits and profit margins are higher than they have ever been. Average Americans, meanwhile, have rarely had it worse. Wages as a percent of the economy are at an all-time low, and fewer people are working as a percent of the population than at any time in the past 30 years.
In addition to violating just about every conceivable ideal of community fairness and decency, this state of affairs is hurting the economy. Average Americans account for most of the spending in the country. And thanks to the refusal of rich companies like Wal-Mart to share more of their wealth with the people who create it, average Americans are broke.

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) January 15, 2014
DTS Language Services, Inc. is pleased to announce an enhancement to its Online Web Portal for Life Science organizations who need document translations. Clients will now have the ability to specify the subject matter of their documents in advance with a selection of nearly 50 life science sub-domains. This will help reduce time-to-delivery of translations, often a critical factor in clinical and scientific fields, and decrease the likelihood of error.
"All translations are inherently time-sensitive by their very nature, due to the critical decision making and approval processes which depend on fast turn-arounds," said Duncan Shaw, President of DTS. "Because we will have a faster understanding up-front of the given domain requirement, we will be able to more quickly identify those translators who are best qualified, and deliver translations even faster."
Additionally, for organizations who have on-going document translation needs, this tool will help strengthen document version control practices by improving consistency. "If several direct report employees have recurring translation needs, now there will be a streamlined, consistent approach for all of them. This will improve decision making, communication, budgeting, and accountability for everyone," Shaw said.
In 2007, DTS began a partnership with German technology developer Plunet GmbH to offer an easy to use customer web portal aimed at improving translation efficiencies while reducing translation costs and delays. "We offer free training to use our online portal with the end goals of making translations go faster, easier, and as pain-free as possible," Shaw said.
Most CRAs, Project Managers, and other medical translation buyers do not have the time to be burdened with translation

Title: SensorWeb 3G: Extending On-Orbit Sensor Capabilities to Enable Near Realtime User Configurability
Primary Author: Mandl, Daniel
Organization: NASA GSFC
Co-Author(s): Rob Sohlberg - Univ. of Maryland/Dept of Geography; Steve Chien - NASA/JPL; Don Sullivan - NASAA/Ames; Pat Cappelaere - Vightel Inc.; Stuart Frye - SGT Inc.; Troy Ames - NASA/GSFC
This research effort prototypes a standard interface, Web Coverage Processing Service (WCPS), which is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard, to enable users to define, test, upload and execute algorithms for on-orbit sensor systems. The user is able to customize on-orbit data products that result from raw data streaming from an instrument. This extends the SensorWeb 2.0 concept that was developed under a previous Advanced Information System Technology (AIST) effort in which web services wrap sensors and a standardized XML based scripting workflow language orchestrates processing steps across multiple domains. SensorWeb 3G extends the concept by providing the user controls into the flight software modules associated with on-orbit sensors and thus provides a degree of flexibility which does not presently exist. This presentation will go over the demonstrations achieved to date which includes a realistic HyspIRI decadal mission testbed. Furthermore, benchmarks that were run will be presented along with future demonstration and benchmarks tests planned for the future. Finally, implications for the future and how this concept dovetalls into efforts to develop "cloud computing" methods and standards.

Moruga Scorpion is the World's Hottest Chile Pepper?
The Moruga Scorpion (click here to buy seeds) is the new world's hottest chile pepper at over 2 million SHU according to a report from the Las Cruces Sun-News. (Actually, all the chiles aren't over 2M SHU, just the hottest chiles from the batch NMSU tested.)
It was announced by Chile Pepper Institute director Paul Bosland at the 2012 New Mexico Chile Conference on Monday. According to their tests: the Moruga Scorpion has an average Scoville rating of 1,207,764 SHU (not a world record), with a high test of 2,009,231 SHU, and a low test of 580,198 SHU. Now what does this tell us?
You tell me! What number should we use? The high, the low, or the average? Which number does the Guinness Book of World Records use? Can I replicate these results if I grow a Moruga Scorpion plant in my backyard? Who shot JFK? WHERE'S THE BEEF?!
Here's my opinion… Like most things I think the race for the world's hottest chile has become more about profits than palpability. If your business grows the chile with the highest SHU, then you get the world record, the notoriety and more importantly; the sales. This Scoville rating chiles thing has become a giant cluster f**k. Even if the chile experts could agree to a common system based on the average rating of multiple chiles, that still tells you nothing. They're testing the average SHU of specific seedstock in specific growing conditions. The Moruga Scorpions tested were grown by the Chile Pepper Institute, in Las Cruces, NM, at 4000′ elevation, with average rainfall of 8.5″ per year. How many places can you find those conditions? Not at my house!
Oh well, nothing we can do about it now. This conflict for capsaicin command has become too lucrative to letup. I'll keep reporting the records, you keep reading the records, and eventually nature will reach its pain threshold.
43 Responses to Moruga Scorpion is the World's Hottest Chile Pepper?
Hi James
Most if not all of the results we see are taken from small batches of chillies put in to a single test, so there does not tend to be a range, just a result.
We don't know from the results for this pepper is this was 1 or 10 or more that test high, or how many tested low, or how many tests they did.
Statistics is an interesting subject that not many understand well but we are all experts.
I 100% agree with James on this. His article hits the nail on the head. The whole SHU and chilli testing has become a bit of a farce. What the general chilli growing public will be asking (or at least be thinking) is "if I buy these seeds, will this mean my chillis will be 2m Scovilles?" Answers on a postcard. The answer is No!
Matt Deakin (Clifton Chilli Club)
The Bhut Jolokia original record was submitted as a mean average to Guinness when it got the record. After that Guinness accepted highest heat ratings or spikes from the Infinity, Naga Viper and the Butch T Scorpion.The Chile Pepper Institute will submit the high number because that's what Guinness wants. All data and testing protocol from this study has been sent to Horticulture Science magazine. Many of you are tired of all these hot pepper records but now we have a real study that shows highs, lows and averages. It should not be confusing just a more open study that is showing us what nobody else would. The Moruga Scorpion is more stable than Butch T.
On a final note the high mark for the Moruga Scorpion was not taken from a single pepper or even a few peppers. The test sample that was sent to not one but three labs was composed of 25 whole peppers! All other pepper tests were large samples as well. This gives the testing far more credibility than any other previous testing in history. We all know the high number is not the norm. But at least the high number tells us one fact. That this variety has the potential to go over 2,000,000 and that cannot be disputed. This pepper is a non hybrid stable variety. It out produces the Butch T and grows easier. Give the Institute credit for doing the proper study.
Hot is hot! I'm kinda over it… I feel anything that beats 2 or even 3 million SHU should have at least 2 tails and couple of eye balls and taste like a banana with psychedelic trip included. brrt!
James, you are so off base you are not even in the ballpark. This is a comprehensive study of many varieties of super-hots. The high range is derived from a test of 20 pods from a single plant, the average heat of the chiles are from pods from 100 plants. Did you even notice there is a low average too? The study will be published in Horticultural Science after a peer review of the documents from the entire study which took over 10 months to complete. It further set a "Methodology" by which all peppers submitted in the future will be judged. If you want to discuss the trials in detail, please contact me. I happen to be at IAH right now waiting for a flight home, but please feel free to contact me tomorrow. This is a scientific approach to the subject and there were 3 labs who tested the product. I expect a bit of professionalism from you, so please contact me.
Scoville ratings from NMSU (and in general) mean nothing to me because:
1: I'm not growing peppers in New Mexico
2: How will i know the true SHU of my crop anyway? Being a home grower I don't have access to testing.
3: Heat varies so much that my crop could be between 500,000 SHU – 2,000,000 SHU!
Therefore these figures are insignificant to the average grower. All you've proved is that a chilli CAN BE very hot under the right conditions. Well done.
Matt SHU testing is not a farce. It is an Industry necessity. A farmer before selling his millions of pounds of Paprika must undergo SHU to make sure there is a consistency of his pungency levels. As far as using certain conditions to grow a hot pepper the chiles in these studies are fed no different than anything else they study. But your are right that this research means nothing to you. Because your not a grower that supplies the produce, food service or spice industry. But it does matter to me. But may I ask you and James 1 question? How come you never came out and said these things about Scoville testing when the Butch T made headlines? Can you please answer that?
I'd be inclined to use a banded mode as the value to quote, along with min and max values: "Mostly it's about *this* hot, the lowest value we've recorded is *this* and the highest value is *this*".
James I was getting high levels testing with Marlin and Dave De Witt long before any Australian test so I was already leading the Scorpion bandwagon. And there was no reason to question the Australian methodology because they grew it and tested a few samples in a water treatment lab. So methodology was not in question but not having another lab verify results would be the only thing I would want to see. And when your reader asks you what is the average heat the correct answer is the average which is 1,200,000. What I know is anyone with a brain can figure out that all Butch T's dont hit over 1,400,000. But nobody brought it up in past because nobody showed any other testing low or average numbers. You and Hairy Bikers show it on Episode as a 1,400,000 pepper. And I guess thats okay. So it wont be wrong to say the Moruga is a 2,000,000 pepper will it if we follow past practice? But the Institute wanted to show all the numbers which I agree will cause confusion but at least they are being honest. I will E mail you pics of data poster so you can read it better. I tell my customers the Butch T can get as high as 1,400,000 but that is not the norm. I will tell them that the Moruga can get to 2,000,000 but that is not the norm. That is the way I will handle the confusion.
I heard that even regular Bhut scored < 1.5 mio SHU at CPI, so I guess the climate was right last season in Southern NM for super hots.
Frankly, who really cares about those SHU records anymore. Besides methodology matters (including greatly varying HPLC "standards", btw) — the pepper that broke the 1 million SHU barrier was already so hot that eating it became a challenge. Now if I have a 2 million SHU pepper with a great flavor (which TS undeniably has),I have to dilute in my food or sauce so much that the flavor becomes too weak. So what's the point with even more heat heat. Plus, assume that in less than a year, the 2M record will be broken. Even more so once the DNA genes for heat are ID'd and peppers will be GMO'd for maximum heat. Say hello to 7 million SHU peppers for military apps! That's the only industry that will benefit from mega-SHU peppers. So eventuelly, these powerful pods may end up in your face. If you join "Occupy" movements, for example.
I can speak only for me, but I think Paul Bosland got it right with that Flavor Wheel, which lists both burn profiles and flavor profiles. For a pepper you can truly enjoy, both have to be in balance. I just LOVE the powder from NuMex Heritage 6-4. Last year we started growing Las Cruces Cayenne in our backyard. Delightful when used fresh, but uncredible when you smoke-dry it with applewood. And the heat? Just right.
Befor you guys flame me, sorry for being OT by throwing flavor into this discussion. But I think we need to remember that chiles aren't just about heat.
So who's gonna win the first Guinness entry for the best-tasting pepper…. perfect balance of flavor and heat.
Darth when you helped promote the Naga Viper you never made these statements you just made. So please don't talk about the poor consumers that will be expecting 2,000,000 and never get it. The institute gave us all the numbers from a complete field study. We don't need to grow in other areas of the world. We already have highs, lows and averages from the leading authority on chile science in the world. The average is 1,200,000.The potential high is 2,000,000. By the way I grew these in pots in 2010 partial shade and got 1,416,000 test from de-seeded pods. That was in my backyard in coastal climate San Diego!
Well Darth my argument against the Naga Viper still stands. It is scientifically impossible to create a new strain in two generations. And the Naga Viper was claimed to be a 3 way strain. Yet I did not see you or any of your friends even pay attention to this. Marlin, Dave De Witt and I were asked to provide Horticultural documentation of a proven variety ie:scorpion. This would have been impossible to document by any hort science expert or botanist for both the Infinity or Naga Viper. So you tell me why us Americans were told to jump through hoops and two Brits got a free pass on scientific requirements? And tell me why you never questioned it or any of your colleagues?
How will these seeds be marketed? Will there be a statement on your website saying that pod heat grown from seeds will vary? Or will you and all your other businessmen friends milk it for all it's worth with 2,000,000 SHU scrawled everywhere? Am i going to see sauces for sale saying "made with the hottest pepper in the world measuring at 2,000,000 SHU"? You're going to have to be very careful how you deal with this, otherwise you're gonna pee a lot of people off. Me included.
I agree with you Darth. The one upmanship is insane. I had no issue with the Bhut because science was behind it and it was a real variety. I no issue with the Butch T because it was a real variety and me and Marlin got plenty of tests close to 1,400,000 range so it was believable. So no predjudice against Brits. Again infinity and Naga Viper are horticultural impossible. So it appeared to be favoritism. Now CPI was doing research on superhots. They did field and genetic testing too which has nothing to do with records. This was a research study that showed record numbers in shu. So not a one upmanship by any means.The 3 previous records were attempts at records. CPI was doing a complete plant study. So its totally different.
Matt my pricing will stay the same. My descriptions for pepper will announce both record number and also pepper average number once I get around to editing it.
Darth send me you phone number email@example.com so we can have a conversation about all the testing. And other industry stuff. I want to hear your opinion on other things and answer any questions you might have for me. I will make the call to you. Thanks so much for your input and honesty on this topic.
I would love to see that phone bill! How much does a 2 hour call cost? lol
Tony, thanks for putting up my video link. 😀 I never slagged anything, at least I would like to think I haven't. That means having sex with varmints, right? At any rate, I don't like the UK because they keep taking over all our talent shows with British judges who know squat about what Americans like. Kinetic King? You should all be flogged for that limey Pierce Morgan choice. I also think Bangers and Mash sounds more like a gay bar than a food choice, but that is neither here not there. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Still hate you Brits.
Now as for all this record flabberjabber, I see it like American's Past time's Homerun record. You had Roger Maris for many years holding the record at 61, then comes Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa comes along and breaks the record, but we all know they were on steriods. Then it is Bonds, and the same applies. Sure it is a record, but it feels tainted by every baseball fan. We all hope that a new player with all this new testing that will break the record the right way. The Infinity and Naga Viper are the steriod versions of Bonds and McGuire.
Sorry Tony I don't have any tea-sippin' Cricket analogies for you.
Can't we all get along?
Oh yeah, with that baseball HR record, we only remember the record Home run and not the average season. The high scu is all that matters.
James & Matt, simple chile math from the Scoville scale. A Jalapeño's high heat is 3.2 times it's low heat, a Serrano's is 4.6′ a habanero's is 3.5. The Morugas high is 3.5 times it's low. Know your chiles? Just sayin'…
Cajohn, I don't know what you were getting in that last post :s
Anyway Jim has already addressed my queries. I'm not disputing that the Moruga hasn't tested 2,000,000 SHU. Ok? You can quote me on that.
What I'm getting at Cajohn is when you'll be using "Made With The Worlds Hottest Pepper Measuring 2,000,000 SHU" on your sauces, how many pods in a bottle will be made with pods measuring 2,000,000 SHU? People will be buying your sauces (which are great btw) but thinking they are packed with something that measures 2,000,000 SHU. Which it won't!
Now Jim has already done the decent think and will tell his customers that heat can vary from pods, which they can (yes I do know my chillis) and although the variety has the POTENTIAL to reach 2,000,000 SHU, chances are they won't quite reach that level (although they'll be nuclear hot)
So my question to you Cajohn is how will you deal with it? We have something in this country call trading standards and false advertising laws in this country. Don't know if you guys have a similar thing?
This wouldn't be the first time someone tried to cheat the general chilli head public into buying a product that wasn't quite what it says on the tin. Does "New Mexico Scorpion Salsa" rings any bells? I pulled El Pinto up on that product and they seemed a little sheepish to say the least.
Buddha thanks so much for your intelligent input on the matter now kindly do me a favour and keep your idiotic British opinions to yourself and pipe down until you can bring something to the table that's worth reading.
Jim I think you need to let the naga viper thing go mate to be honest I don't think any British grower disagrees with you about the principles of this pepper and the same goes for the infinity which just about everyone knows is a seven pod,both the originators of said pods have made a lot of money on the back of the record books and there is no doubt that you will as well.
I think the main bone of contention is that you come across as seeing yourself as the worlds leading authority on testing and if it isn't done your way then it isn't relevant!.
For the record I think it's great that the testings been done but I'm getting fed
Up with all the hypocrisy and double standards that has dogged it over recent years.
Matt, when the ghost pepper sauces hit the market, the makers simply said, "made with the world's hottest pepper". No guarantees were made for scu unless they tested the sauce ahead of time, but that would be an unreliable test as you can tell by the swing in the low to high. When you nosh on a bag of Deano's Jalapenos you eat those things like they are potato chips when suddenly you are surprised by the heat that hits you every now and then. The range for the jalapeno is 3,500-8,000. Every now and then you will get one that hits near the high mark. When you take on the Moruga that same thing might happen, when one bottle of sauce will be a hotter than reality blend. We as chileheads are more informed than the average spice seeking individual. If you simply say, "made with the World's Hottest Pepper", that will be more than sufficient to get the point across. The only challenges would be from us as a whole, a small segment in society.
Sorry, I beleive my question was directed at Cajohn as he is the one who will be making the sauces….
Just like Jim answered my question about the seeds…
I think what Jim is doing with the seeds by telling his customers about variation in heat and potential is fair and respectful. For years people have been generalising chillis under one SHU (the hottest). This needs to change because it is misleading. Too many videos of people reviewing a chilli saying it measures "X SHU" referring to that particular pod. When really if could be any SHU. This is my argument for the average SHU being used as an indicator of a varieties SHU. You go and pick 1 pod from your crop today and test it and tell me if it's closer to the 1.2m average SHU or the 2m SHU.
If you can't understand and consider any point of my argument then there is no point in me even carrying on this debate. I might as well go and hit my head against a brick wall. Many other chilli heads in the US and UK agree with and support my argument, so why can't you see it? Oh yeh because this affects your businesses.
Ummm okay, my bad.
Tony, my comments were towards you or Brits in general were all sarcastic and meant to make you smile rather than be venomous. I thought you got my sense of humor, and I am sorry you did not. My apologies if you took them the wrong way.
Matt, the thing about pepper sauces is that the heat is diluted when you add other ingredients to the chiles. We make no claims as to the SHU of our sauces. We simply state what chiles they are made with. If a certain chile is rated "the World's hottest, we will say our sauce is made with the world's hottest chile. I make varying levels of heat with the hottest chiles by adding ingredients or cutting back on the amount of chiles. I think most, if not all people familiar with chiles/sauces know not to expect the upper regions. Bolt can run faster than any man, but I can hardly expect to make his time in the 100 meters! It is impossible to test sauces for SHU, although many claim it can be done. They must dehydrate the sauce to test it, so the dilution is negated. Unfortunately not every maker has morals, so I am sure that some people will make that claim. I offer shelf stable purees of the chiles so people can experience a near "full on" experience and decide for themselves. I love it hot myself. I also make extract sauces (which some people love), but I have no use for the extract taste. I don't eat them.
Man, you flamers need to open a beer and chill the hell out. Some of you are even getting bent over things that haven't even happened yet. What the hell? Where is the enthusiasm and excitement we all have in common when it comes to insanely hot chiles? 2M SHU's in a valid study? That's freakin' awesome!!
I'm a fellow chilehead, though nothing like you guys, and saw the recent data posted about the Moruga Scorpion. Saw the high and low numbers and knew exactly what they represented. I didn't feel I was being deceived in any way, nobody was making any claims that weren't represented by the data, nobody was trying to sell me 2M SHU sauce, and I appreciated seeing the high and low comparison numbers of other chiles. I even bought some seeds.
Anyone who has grown peppers knows the heat level can, and often will, vary greatly because of the many variables in growing conditions. CaJohn has it right…there's a heat range for every variety and this is no exception; everyone knows that. Buying Moruga (or any) seeds and expecting to get 2M SHU pods is like buying a Big Mac and expecting it to look just like in the picture; nobody does. So, can we move on?
Well personally I do like the Brits. Majority of music groups that were innovative that I grew up with were from the U.K. I like that fact that even though their climate sucks for growing chiles they still work their ass off to grow them and produce quality products. I also am a C.S. Lewis fan who was one of the most intelligent men in history. So I have nothing against the Brits. As for James Beck I may not agree with his style of doing things. So I really have the free choice to read or watch what he does. And sometimes I do like what he does. I don't expect him to change because of me or anyone else. We are all different and isn't that what makes us unique? So James I found out you unfriended me on FaceBook. Get over it! We are all going to upset one another from time to time. But at the end of the day we still have one thing in common. Our love for chiles and the people who make products with them:)
Jim, you & I know where this is headed. You better straighten it out before I do. (Remember our phone conversation & your comments about your strategy the day the record was announced.)
Butch what are you talking about??? I donated my seeds to the Institute and so did CARDI. They did a 11 month long Comprehensive study. I am acknowledged for donating seeds and pictures. The study is run by them. If you think something is wrong or misleading you need to contact CaJohn Hard who is on the Leadership Council for the Chile Pepper Institute. I have no strategy. My goal was always to get valid scientific testing for all the known superhots so there would be some data for the Industry. This is no secret. I supply saucemakers, high end restaurants and the largest Specialty Produce company in the U.S. A study benefits the Industry. Yes it will make me more money. But if you knew anything about me at all it is that I give away more money to those in need, than I keep for myself. So I am not about ego. I am about building my business and giving back to those less fortunate. So if you want to make assumptions about me and my character then by all means go ahead. If you have a problem with this study I suggest you talk to Cajohn.
Jim I apoligize, I actually posted this in response
to another post that had been previously addressed
by you, I had come in on a old link and didn't see your reply
till after I posted on here & then I couldn't
figure out how to delete this post.
No problem Butch. Wish you and your new sauces well. You get that new kitchen running yet?
@Lfcmike, Mike, I reiterate what was said earlier in this thread, that I was joking and I humbly aplogize if you did not get my sarcasm to British people. I have no issues whatsoever with anyone. I know EMH deleted your post to keep the peace, but I still wanted to make it known that I love this community. I try to shine a positive light whenever I can, and maybe my sense of humor casts a shadow over that sometimes. I will state my opinions matter-of-factly and maybe push too hard and offend someone in doing so. I won't apologize for everything I say, but when I am wrong I will stand up to it, as I did here.
I still think the baseball analogy was a pretty good one, and I will stick to that.
I know this post is probally ancient by now. Anyway Hello everyone! Jim, I want to thank you for taking care of me once more on the Moruga Scorpion plant I bought from you I just got it well yesterday it seemed ok and the others I got from you look to be doing pretty good.(Damned mail service!)Hello Darth I saw your review of the Viper when it first came out I thought it was pretty good(B.T.W how long did it take to get your eye to stop burning?) that had to suck. Any how just to put a note out there. I am a bit of a novice to the pepper world up untill about a year or two ago the hottest thing I knew of was the Habanaro then I found out about the Bhut Jolkia and the Viper and so on.When I was looking for the hottest pepper I could find I ran across a website were they were discussing where to get these peppers from and there was someone there that recomended Jim 1) because he was a friend of his and 2) because he gave him most credit for knowing what he was doing.After reading this post and dealing with Jim I am glad I bought from him. He was very knowlagable about what he does altho he did seem to get a little upset when I mentioned I wanted to buy a Naga Viper plant from him when he explianed "It takes seven years to make a new strain and there is no way it could be done in 3". (On to the point) When I bought my plants from Jim I clearly understood that the plants I got from him had the "probaility of reaching record highs but more than likely wouldn't" How ever I could only hope they will because I plan on using these to make my Atomic chili this fall/winter along with all the others I got from him.I think most if not all of his listings will tell you what "you could get" but also what you should expect.Alot of this debate can be reconcieled by people just using a bit of common sence. B.T.W I will be buying from Jim again next year if I can't get any decent seeds out of this batch.
Also I have a question for all of you since most of you seem to be experts about peppers. I hae been told that if you keep reseeding the same plant year in and year out it's fruit will be hotter each year. Is this true or just a myth?
Thanks in advance
Take care everyone and I hope all of you have a great growing season
I am still eager to try it.i use Bhut Jalokia's in my cooking almost daily im ready to amp it up a notch lol
Hey, just wondering if anyone knows of a good hot pepper distributor (fresh / dry) in Canada?? Cheers, Kelly

POTSDAM The village has been without a much-needed full-size hotel for years. Now two are on the horizon, and there is plenty of room for both, Planning and Development Coordinator Frederick J. Hanss said.
Theres a pretty significant deficit of hotel rooms in St. Lawrence County as a whole, Mr. Hanss said. I dont think one would negatively detract from the other.
Visions Hotels Inc., Corning, presented their plans for a $6 million 95-room Hampton Inn on Market Street earlier this month. The hotel would take the place of Scoopocinos restaurant, Tons Sports Bar, and the Village Florist.
So far the plans the village has received have been preliminary. The hotel is being designed by Clough Harbour & Associates, Albany.
Andy Patel, president of Visions Hotels, is overseeing the project. Visions Hotels owns several franchise hotels in Central and Western New York and the Best Western Carriage House hotel in Watertown.
The village Planning Board expects an in-depth site plan review early next year, but the early designs are promising, according to Mr. Hanss. They show that the designers have done their homework and have a good understanding of village codes and zoning laws.
It appears to us, based on this very preliminary drawing, that they will be able to comply with the village zoning ordinances, he said.
A full-size hotel has long been a Potsdam priority. SUNY Potsdam and Clarkson University often draw visitors to the village, but the small inns in the village fill up quickly, leaving tourists to seek elsewhere for a place to stay. The town of Potsdam has three motels, but the nearest full-sized hotel is in Canton.
Potsdams comprehensive 10-year plan, which was officially adopted yesterday, calls for the village to seek out hotel developers to solve this problem.
So far Visions Hotels have not asked for any financial assistance from the village, according to Mr. Hanss.
The second hotel project is part of a plan that also includes a conference center and housing development, overseen by SUNY Potsdam.
The Lehman Park project would be funded by the college and Titus Management Group, Colton, and will include an 85-room hotel.
It is uncertain when construction on either project will begin.
