This kit (double-din adapter) fit perfectly into a 1998 BMW 528i. The color of the plastic (black) even matched the other black trim in the interior.
if you're thinking of removing the stock radio (mine was DSP), it's worth it. I used a Pioneer AVIC system so now I have built-in GPS, CD player, ipod controls, better radio reception and blue tooth. (Remainder of system to include speakers and the stock amp were also changed out. Probably all for less than a $1000). These adapter kits were $100-$200 up until this kit came out. This is a bargain (that works).

This allowed me to install a double bin stereo with ease. I really like the way the double din looks and the touch screen feature is awesome.

Ventura County officers to be on lookout for DUI this weekend
Officers with law enforcement agencies across Ventura County will be out in force this Memorial day weekend watching for drunken drivers.
Among the tactics will be driver checkpoints and "saturation patrols."
The extra effort will include a DUI/license checkpoint Friday night in Ventura, officials said. A checkpoint is planned in Thousand Oaks from 6 Saturday until 3 a.m. Sunday. Saturation patrols are planned Saturday and Sunday nights in Thousand Oaks and Moorpark. The California Highway Patrol is deploying all available officers this weekend as part of what it calls a maximum enforcement period.
Agencies offered these tips to avoid trouble:
Arrange rides home for your friends, family, co-workers and yourself before drinking begins at any celebration or gathering.
As a host or server, limit drinks to guests or patrons. Don't serve more than one or two over several hours.
Provide free nonalcoholic drinks to the designated sober driver. Designated drivers can download a smartphone app www.ddvipca.com that makes them eligible for no-cost nonalcoholic drinks and other freebies.
Cut back on the amount of drinks you plan to bring to any party, and provide plenty of food.
If you see dangerous driving, call 911.

The latest Lion beta issued by Apple this week bears strong clues that development on the second incremental software update is coming to an end. Here's what you can expect from this new release as it debuts in tandem with iCloud, and iOS 5.
According to Apple's developers who were greeted this week with a brand new beta of the 10.7.2 update, the included seed notes bear a striking resemblance to the changelog model for final-grade releases of Mac OS X.
In other words, the seed notes included by Apple with this new beta may well be the official changelog for the shipping version of Mac OS X 10.7.2.
"The 10.7.2 update is recommended for all OS X Lion users and includes general operating system fixes that improve the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac," reads the documentation.
Apple continues with information about iCloud, which now comes pre-loaded in Lion.
"It [10.7.2] also includes support for iCloud, a breakthrough set of free cloud services that automatically and wirelessly store your content on iCloud and push it to all of your devices."
A description of each major iCloud service then follows. One of them is Find My Mac, a feature that "helps find a missing Mac by locating it on a map and allows you to remotely lock the Mac or wipe all its data."
Customers are even instructed on how to get started with the Internet suite, explaining that iCloud will automatically present a setup panel as the system restarts following the installation of OS X 10.7.2.
Users have two options: either to enter an existing Apple ID, or create a new one and then follow the on-screen instructions.
The new Lion update delivers a new version of Safari (5.1.1) which will be thoroughly documented in a new tech note on the Apple Support site.
Several issues will be addressed in OS X 10.7.2, including one that causes the menu bar to not appear in full screen apps, as well as an issue that causes a delay in accessing the network after waking from sleep.
A new feature that enables dragging files between desktop spaces and full screen apps will be included as well, and compatibility of Google contact syncing in Address Book will be improved.
Booting in to Lion Recovery from a locally attached Time Machine backup drive will also be possible, according to the changelog.

This famous piccolo trumpet solo has been recorded by many clarinet soloists. The original work is scored for solo trumpet, 2 oboes and strings. The solo part remains fairly close to the original and the oboe parts have been distributed between the remaining trumpets. This is a great work to demonstrate a talented soloist as well as the trumpet players in the quintet. This arrangement has been transposed down a step from D to C concert.

Intel Core 2 Duo & Quad price cuts expected
"Latest prices cuts are expected soon."
Published: 22nd September 2008 | Source: Hexus |
Out with old, in with the new?
Intel are said to be reducing their prices on existing Core 2 Duo and Quad processors on October the 18th, according to a report by Hexus. Although the reductions are not massive, it is expected that there will be further reductions once the Core i7's hit the shelves. Those who are not going to be early i7 adoptees may be able to pick some real bargains up in the run up to Christmas.
From the Hexus report:
On the dual-core front, Intel's 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo E7300 will fall from $133 to $113, and be joined by a new 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo E7400 part.
We will keep you all updated as and when any news on the expected price cuts appears. You can discuss in our forums here.

This is my first post, so apologies if it isn't in the right place.
I was looking at an Advent 4213 in PC World (UK only netbook based on the ECS G10IL - one of many atom-based netbooks currently being released) which is supposed to be fitted with the Intel Atom N270 aka "Diamondville" processor.
Running XP Task Manager on the machine indicated that there were two CPUs. I haven't looked at any other Atom-powered machines, but is this the case, or could this particular machine perhaps have been fitted with an Atom 330?
Any ideas?
Many thanks

A Catholic priest is in constant attendance. Moslems as well as Christians have come here since 1691 to pay homage to Mary. the small house was rebuilt in 1951 after long years of pilgrims' feet had practically destroyed it.

Scientists continue to study processes affecting abundance of juvenile Greenland turbot. The high levels in the 1970s could have been due to environmental factors. Also, several major predators (Pacific cod and halibut) were at low levels during the late 1970s but increased to peak levels during the mid 1980s, possibly putting additional pressure on juvenile Greenland turbot.

Greenland turbot is not a true turbot (Psetta maxima) and actually more closely resembles its relative, halibut. It is sold as turbot in the United States so as not to confuse it with Pacific halibut. In fact, the only species that can be legally sold as "halibut" in the United States are Atlantic and Pacific halibut. Greenland turbot is sold as Greenland halibut in Europe so as not to confuse it with true turbot. In U.S. markets, Greenland turbot typically comes from U.S. or Canadian fisheries.
Similar in taste and texture to its delectable cousin, halibut, Greenland turbot is a valuable fish. Harvests were high in the 1970s but have generally declined since, mainly due to catch restrictions placed on the fishery and declining populations. Scientists found that the occurrence of juvenile Greenland turbot in the Eastern Bering Sea shelf region has declined since the late 1970s. Scientists closely monitor the Greenland turbot stock and fishery and, as a precaution, managers have set low harvest limits for Greenland turbot fishery. Since 2007 the abundance of juveniles on the shelf region has increased steadily - possibly because of colder conditions observed from 2006–2011.
Greenland turbot are found throughout the eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands region in the North Pacific Ocean. They are also found in the Northwest Atlantic in cold Arctic waters and deep bays around Newfoundland, Labrador, Baffin Island, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Greenland turbot live near the ocean floor. They prefer cold temperatures and soft, muddy bottoms.
Greenland turbot grow relatively fast, up to 25 pounds. They spawn in winter in deep water near the ocean floor. Females are able to reproduce when they reach about 2 feet in length and 9 years old. When they spawn, females release around 60,000 to 80,000 eggs, and males fertilize them as they swim past. Once hatched, larvae drift hundreds of miles out of the deep ocean into shallower waters over the continental shelf to feed and grow. After a few years, they move back out to deeper waters over the continental slope. Greenland turbot can live up to 21 years. Scientists age many fish by counting marks on their otoliths (ear bones), like counting growth rings on trees. Try your hand at ageing Greenland turbot here.
Greenland turbot feed on crustaceans, squid, and various fish. They're an important part of the diet of narwhals. Pacific cod and halibut also eat Greenland turbot.
A cousin of Pacific halibut, Greenland turbot are a right-eyed flatfish - as they develop, their left eye migrates across the top of the skull toward the other eye on the right side. Turbot are yellowish or grayish-brown on top and paler on their underside. They have a large mouth and large teeth.
Scientists at NOAA's Alaska Fisheries Science Center assess the abundance of Greenland turbot in the Bering Sea every year through bottom trawl surveys and in the Aleutian Islands every two years through bottom trawl and longline surveys.
Scientists estimate that both the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska populations of Greenland turbot are well above their target population levels. The Bering Sea/Aleutians Islands stock was last assessed in 2013, and the stock is not overfished or subject to overfishing. In the Gulf of Alaska, Greenland turbot are assessed and managed along with Dover sole and deep-sea sole as part of the Deepwater Flatfish Complex. Greenland turbot are not as common in the Gulf of Alaska, and individual abundance estimates are unreliable. Its population status is based on the status of Dover sole, the indicator species for this complex. The complex was last assessed in 2013, and is not overfished or subject to overfishing.
Although the abundance of Greenland turbot is above target levels, it is at low levels compared to the 1970s and has been declining due to poor survival rates of juvenile turbot. Managers have set low catch limits for Greenland turbot as an added conservation measure. Recently, scientists have observed significant increases in reproduction and survival rates for Greenland turbot and expect abundance to increase in the near future.
Starting in 1999, scientists began tagging Greenland turbot each year using both conventional external tags (with unique identifiers) and implanted archival tags that record depth and temperatures. A number of both types of tagged fish have been recaptured. Some show extensive vertical and horizontal movements. In particular, researchers noted that spawning turbot make twice-daily excursions from below 1,500 meters to 300 to 400 meters.
Harvesting Greenland Turbot
Fishermen use bottom trawls and longlines to harvest Greenland turbot. Turbot are harvested over sand and mud bottom habitats, which are usually more resilient to impacts from fishing than other habitats. Longlines can incidentally catch seabirds and other fish. Longline fishermen must use seabird avoidance devices, which effectively reduce seabird bycatch. Fishermen use circle hooks to increase the survival of any undersized halibut caught and released during commercial fishing. To reduce bycatch of other species, regulations prohibit fishing in specific depths and areas in the Bering Sea. There are also limits on the amount of Pacific halibut that can be incidentally caught in these fisheries. At-sea observers continue to monitor bycatch in these fisheries.
Greenland turbot are also harvested as bycatch in fisheries targeting other groundfish, including sablefish and Pacific cod.
Who's in charge? NOAA Fisheries and the North Pacific Fishery Management Council
Current management: Fishery Management Plans for Groundfish of the Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska (In the Gulf of Alaska, Greenland turbot are managed as part of the Deepwater Flatfish complex, along with Dover sole and deep-sea sole.)
Greenland turbot fisheries are managed separately, but similarly, in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and in the Gulf of Alaska.
- Fishermen must have a permit to harvest Greenland turbot, and the number of available permits is limited to control the amount of fishing.
- The council sets conservative catch limits for turbot fisheries because they are unlikely to meet their allowed catch, which means more can be allotted for higher-valued species.
- Catch is monitored through record keeping, reporting requirements, and observer monitoring.
- Certain seasons and areas are closed to fishing due to habitat and other species considerations (e.g., king crab habitat).
- Restrictions on the type of fishing gear that can be used.
- Bycatch limits and rates: flatfish as a whole are lightly harvested, primarily due to halibut and crab bycatch limits which frequently close down the fisheries before they reach their catch quotas.
Annual Harvest
In 2013, Alaska fishermen landed more than 3 million pounds of Greenland turbot.
The 2012 harvest was valued at $4.76 million.
Greenland turbot is very similar to halibut in both flavor and texture - it has dense, white flesh and sweet, rich flavor. Greenland turbot are sold as whole fish, headed and gutted fish, and kirimi (processed fish).
Greenland turbot is a healthy, low-fat source of protein and is high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Let $f(z)$ be an analytic or meromorphic function in the
closed unit disk sampled at the $n$th roots of unity.
Based on these data, how can we approximately evaluate
$f(z)$ or $f^{(m)}(z)$ at a point $z$ in the disk?
How can we calculate the zeros or poles of $f$ in the
disk? These questions exhibit in the purest form certain
algorithmic issues that arise across computational science
in areas including integral equations, partial differential
equations, and large-scale linear algebra (e.g. the FEAST
eigenvalue code). We survey what is already known and
suggest new possibilities springing from a connection between
Cauchy integrals and rational interpolation. This is joint
work with Anthony Austin and Peter Kravanja.

The Wisconsin wrestling team is full of young talent, featuring eight true freshmen wrestlers.
UWBadgers.com sat down with four newcomers, Frank Baer, Brock Horwath, Scott Liegel and Brandon Weber, to discuss what they have been working on in the wrestling room and how their first year in Wisconsin wrestling is going at UW.
Frank Baer
How is your freshman year going?
"It's going good. It's different from high school, but I'm transitioning well. It's a lot of fun, but wrestling is a lot of work too."
Is there any particular skill that you have picked up in college?
"Overall, my toughness is much better. I went to a pretty tough high school, but this is that much of a higher level."
How does Wisconsin wrestling compare to what you have done in the past?
"There is a demand to go 110 percent every time you are out there."
Brock Horwath
What do you like about Wisconsin wrestling?
"I love that its competitive, a lot more than high school. It's a lot better."
What's the biggest difference between high school and college wrestling?
"The commitment for sure is the biggest difference. In high school, I didn't have morning practices. I like it though."
Scott Liegel
How are practices going so far this year?
"I like the competition in the wrestling room. I'm getting better every day. It's tough, but so far it's going really well."
Is there any wrestler in particular that you love to compete against?
"Everyone around my weight class pushes me. We push each other every day. We have a lot of guys around my weight class that are good. I'll learn from their experience."
Brandon Weber
How is your freshman year going so far?
"It's going great. The biggest thing for me is I really like the guys on the team and the coaches. Day in and day out they're pushing us to be the best we can be."
Has any coach in particular been working with you?
"I've been working a lot with coach (Eric) Bugenhagen, especially with the lifts and our group drills in the morning. He's been pushing me and helping me transition from high school wrestling to college wrestling."
What is the biggest transition from high school to college wrestling?
"I'd say hand fighting and having heavy hands. When you wrestle in high school, you can kind of rest at certain points in the match, but when you get to college, guys are always beating on the head. I think that's one of the things that coach Morningstar stresses the most is being physical on the head so you can wear your opponent down."
How do you like Madison?
"I love the city. It's a ton of fun."

Video: 69 years ago today Allied forces land on D-Day
UNDATED (CNN/KTHV) -- Sixty-nine years ago today, the great Allied invasion of Europe began in Normandy, France.
It was a huge undertaking, the largest amphibious landing ever attempted with paratroopers jumping beforehand behind enemy lines.
There was a lot riding on it, whether the Allies would be able to gain a footing in France and push their way toward Germany, easing pressure on the Soviet Union and the Eastern Front.
The fighting was intense, but ultimately it did succeed and history was made.
What you may not have know was that an armada of 2,727 ships was assembled from 12 nations, and among those was the USS Arkansas battleship. It had been commissioned in 1912 and was slated to be scrapped until D-Day came along, and the ship's big guns were needed.
The mission was to open fire on the German controlled beaches code named Omaha. It would be joined by the oldest ship in the fleet-- the USS Texas. That's right. D-Day on Omaha Beach began with the Arkansas and Texas side by side, blasting away in one last major assault. No rivalry. Just two old battleships giving it everything they had.
Michael Hopper is curator of the Arkansas Inland Museum in North Little Rock, where you can still find a few remnants of the Battleship Arkansas. The collection consists of a few pictures, trophies from athletic teams from the ship, and some equipment.
Other than finding the odd thing here or there in an antique store or come up in auction from someone's private collection, there's not a lot of things out there, but there is one artifact that the entire state is familiar with.
You see in 1912, there was no flag to fly on the new battleship. So, the daughters of the American Revolution in Arkansas staged a contest to see who could come up with a winning design for an Arkansas flag.
Willie Kavanaugh Hocker of Wabbaseka had the winning design, and she came up with the Arkansas Flag as we know it today, and it was flag first seen in 1912 on the USS Arkansas.

Winning woes instead of winning ways for Hyannis
Kathleen Szmit Photos
TODAY'S CATCH – Hyannis first baseman Cam Seitzer readies his glove for the catch and the out during game play against the Bourne Braves July 7.
It's been another up and down week for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks, who slid into second-to-last place in the Western Division standings after only one win and three losses this week.
After lighting up the scoreboard with an 8-7 win against the Y-D Red Sox July 4, the Hawks unraveled, dropping the second in their two-game series against the Sox July 5 with a final score of 5-4. The slide continued July 7 when the Bourne Braves trounced the Hawks 6-0.
It was a favorable Fourth for the Harbor Hawks, who eked out a much-needed win against the Y-D Red Sox, plating the winning run in extra innings.
Zach Osborne and Tyler Thompson were the heroes of the game, driving in runs to lift the Hawks to victory in the 10th inning.
The win came after a long and occasionally arduous battle that began with the Red Sox taking an early lead over Hyannis with two runs in the first.
After a scoreless second, the Hawks tied the game with two of their own in the third. With two outs already posted, Johnny Ruettiger reached on a single before advancing to second following AJ Pettersen's walk.
With two outs and two men on base, Casey McElroy's double came at just the right moment, allowing Ruettiger and Pettersen to cross the plate.
Dane Phillips scored Hyannis's third run in the fourth, giving the Hawks a momentary go-ahead, but the lead was short-lived as the Sox tied the score in the seventh before snatching back the lead in the seventh.
Trailing by two, the determined Hawks stepped things up in the eighth, bringing in three runs during an explosive rally.
Ruettiger opened the inning with a single, advancing on another single from Pettersen to put two men on with no outs.
Enter Cam Seitzer with a nice double to deep center field, and again the game was tied. The Hawks regained a one-run lead when Osborne's single two batters later brought in Seitzer for a score of 6-5.
Hyannis' hopes of pulling out a win were dashed when the Sox scored again in the ninth, forcing the game into extra innings.
Fortunately, the Hawks made good use of their half of the 10th, capitalizing on Y-D's faulty pitching and their own hot batting to earn the win.
The next night didn't go as smoothly for the Hawks, who again battled through extra innings in the second game in the series against Y-D on their home field at McKeon Park.
After taking an early 1-0 lead in the third, the Hawks' starting pitcher Matteo D'Angelo dropped his guard and allowed the Sox to plate three runs.
A bit of a rally in the eighth from the Hawks tied the game, with Seitzer and McElroy scoring to send the game into extra innings.
Both teams were held scoreless through two extra innings, but Y-D got the better of the Hawks in the 12th, taking a one-run lead before Hyannis came back to bat.
Although Pettersen was able to make it home on a McElroy single, the Hawks ran out of the steam necessary to earn the win.
Lack of steam seemed to stick with the Hawks when they traveled to Bourne July 7 to face the Braves, returning home after suffering a 6-0 loss.
Only Johnny Ruettiger was able to materialize hits in the nine-inning rout, going 4-for-4 at the plate for the Hawks.
Unfortunately, Bourne pitchers Grayson Garvin and R.J. Alvarez proved mightier than the Harbor Hawks' bats, leaving Ruettiger as the only Hawk with hits, while Bourne's Batters had no trouble getting past Hyannis' Tyler Ray and Jimmy Messer.
At press time the Hawks were scheduled to travel to Martha's Vineyard to face the Falmouth Commodores. The Hawks' next home game is tonight, July 9 at 7 p.m.

Hello folks,I'm considering a Golite Shangri-la or similar shelter for winter snow camping.I've never been winter camping, but I live in the Sierra, so it's time to start taking advantage.So far I have wrapped my mind around snow stakes/ anchoring in theory, but how do floorless shelters work in snow?How do the trekking polls not slowly sink, even slightly reducing the tension in the shelter.I'm sure there's a simple answer, but I'm just trying to understand how using a pyramid shelter would work in the snow. Thanks!
> how do floorless shelters work in snow?Not very well.> How do the trekking polls not slowly sink,They do sink.But ... experiment (close to home).CheersEdit: the above advice is for someone who is new to snow camping. If you are experienced, like some of the following posters, then it is all possible. Hence the suggestion to experiment - carefully.
Edited by rcaffin on 11/19/2009 14:14:56 MST.
See, I have o disagree with Roger on this one, although I'm happy to concede that he has more experience than me.I like my MegaLight a lot in the snow, if it's set up properly.Anchor it to the ground, build an eight inch INTERNAL show wall, and it's great. Heaps of room for two, a palace for one, or adequate for three.Dig a footwell for sitting to cook (use the snow for the internal wall), hang your light on the pole, pee into the bottom corner of the footwell in the middle of the night if you need to. I hate using a floored shelter in the snow any more.A six inch disc of ply with a centre hole works well as a bottom support for your pole if you use lashed poles. If you use the supplied pole, you'll need a raised ring in the centre of the disc. Dual use as a cooking platform.
You could use something flat underneath the pole to spread out the pressure a bit. Perhaps whatever non-heat conducting mat you bring to put under your stove to make sure it doesn't sink into the snow.Also, they call the snow in the Sierra's 'cement' for a reason; it packs down pretty solid with some boot stomping.Another method would be to string guyline between two trees and hang your tent off it. I did this last last with a Megalight. Retensioning is a bit more tedious than just extending your pole further, as you need to loosed, pull tight, retie. Make sure you use either some kind of pole jack, or build a little snow platform for your pole to sit on so it's not fully extended. If your pole is fully extended to start, it's not possible to retension by extending it.
The key is to stomp out a platform with your skis/showshoes, the go do something else for a bit. Get to work on the shelter once the snow has set up. For the pole area, pouring a little water into the snow beforehand makes it even more solid.
Thanks everybody. I was tempted by the Golite Shangri-la 2 or 3 on sale at the REI outlet, but I think I'll stick to picking up 0 degree sleeping bag and renting 4 season tents as a newbie to winter camping. That way I can learn winter backpacking basics first, then later add more complicated shelter techniques as I become more competent in the cold.
Greyson - one of the advantages I've found using a floorless tent on snow - I use a Gatewood Cape - is that I can dig a platform about a foot down and be below "ground level." The trench acts as an insulator. I've been much warmer doing that than setting a tent with a floor right on top of the snow. And as others have said, I use something under the pole to keep it from sinking, usually whatever is around, like a 3 or 4 inch piece of bark after stomping on the snow to firm it up.
I just bought a Shangri-La 3 for winter camping last night (I just couldn't resist a 29 oz shelter with room for 3 people). The Shangri-La 3 has a loop at the top that you can tie a rope to and then suspend it with the help of an overhanging tree branch (unless you are above treeline). As for the pole sinking, if there is enough snow that the pole would sink enough to compromise the pitch, then you'll likely have snowshoes with you. Snowshoes are great in camp for tent tie downs, but you could also place one under the pole to keep it from sinking.I haven't purchased snow stakes for any of my shelters, and prefer more homemade/organic solutions. I've made my own snow bags out of sil-nylon that I packed with snow and then buried and I've also used grocery store bags (double bagged) the same way (just remember to take the bags with you). The latter only works if the wind won't be an issue, like in a heavily forested area; they weigh next to nothing and can still be recycled after you use them! Just be sure to bring extras. The 3rd stake solution is to bury a stick in the snow to act as a deadman anchor.Regardless of your shelter, I hope you like winter camping as much as I do!
I much prefer floorless shelters in the snow. I've used pyramids, a homemade dome, and and MSR twin peaks. Once you've stomped out a platform, I find that my ski poles don't sink into the snow much if at all - and since they are adjustable, I can just adjust them up if they do sink. I find I can get the Twin peaks drum-tight by adjusting the poles up after things have stretched out a bit. I sewed snow flaps to the bottom edge of my twin peaks, so I can pile snow on those to seal out the wind. works great. My dome has the same arrangement. Lots of people use a megamid in the snow, and dig down a foot or more for more headroom. you need a longer pole than the standard one for this - some folks use a couple avalanche probes as poles.
We'll I guess an advantage of living up here is the ability to experiment and practice...Alright, I'm back thinking about a floorless shelter again (you guys aren't any good for my decision making disorder).So on the Shangri-la 2 vs. 3, the 2 seems appealing for a smaller footprint and rectangular shape (just pull out the four corners then go in and put up the polls) vs. what seems like a more finicky shape of a hexagon. The 2 is also cheaper, which is no small consideration. But obviously the 3 has more room, and would seem to be less effected by changing wind directions. What do you guys think?
How many people is a key question. The 2 is similar in size to my MSR twin Peaks - and that is snug for 2 with gear - but doable if you're looking to save weight on a long mileage ski tour. Spacious for one, and a smaller footprint so less work getting the site ready. also more solid in the wind in my opinion, due to the 2 poles and less surface area.The 3 will have more room and be more comfy for 2 with gear and can squeeze 3 probably. So, if you're planning long spring ski tours by yourself or with one companion, and traveling light is of primary importance, go with the 2. If your planning more relaxed tours, and maybe deeper in the winter than spring (thus more time indoors and more chance of waiting out storms), or if you just like more room, get the 3 - or go lighter with a BD megalight or Oware pyramid or Mountain Laurel supermid.
Another point to consider is the type of area you will be camping in. The Shangri-La 3 has a very large footprint that may limit your camping spots, such as in thick underbrush or heavily forested areas. As Paul said, it will also depend on how many people will be sharing it, but I can share with you how I decided on the 3-person version as my solo winter shelter:1. In the winter, I spend a lot more time inside of my tarp (potentially from sunset ~5 pm until sunrise) and wanted the extra floor space and headroom of the 3 person version. The 2 person version is only 57" wide and the pole in the center cuts the width in half, making it too cramped for me. The additional headroom for the 3 person version also gives more flexibility in moving around, sitting up to read, etc.2. If you were to suspend the top of the tarp from a tree, the Shangri-La 3 is simpler in that it only has one attachment point, compared to the 2 person version that has two attachment points. 3. There is enough room that I can invite others in to play cards, eat dinner, etc to pass the time between dinner and bedtime. I find that staying awake in camp until a reasonable bedtime is the hardest part of winter camping. The combination of the temperature dropping, your activity level dropping, and darkness make it difficult to stay awake during this time. Unless you can sleep for 14 hours straight, you'll need to keep yourself awake/entertained during this time.
> Unless you can sleep for 14 hours straight, :-)Walk (ski) hard all day, have a large hot dinner, have a nice comfy mat and bag ... no problem!Cheers
Very true, Roger!
I went back and forth on this recently and ultimatey chose the 2 because of the smaller footprint and easier setup. At 21.6 oz. without the stakes my sample weighs considerably less than spec. Is it big enough? Using it by myself, it seems very spacious, but then again, I'm more accustomed to tiny solo shelters. Anyway, here's a picture (just scroll to the last photo) from a recent trip to give you an idea of the space.
Edited by Dondo on 11/20/2009 07:16:13 MST.
I had considered both and ultimately went with the three.I purchased both to check out in the yard, I was concerned about the 2's ability to shed snow. The middle area between the 2 poles sagged in some form or fashion anyway I pitched it. I was concerned what might happen in a heavy snow fall. I will admit it might have been user error, but it made me keep the 3. In retrospect the extra weight was worth the extra room as well.
I had been meaning to put this together and finally got the thread posted. It's a pictorial review of some of my snow camping trips. Sort of a Snow Camping 101 for the first-timer or just for an amusement.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=26106&skip_to_post=214640#214640Regarding floorless 2 vs 3: unless you can dig down sufficiently, maybe 1-2', the sag with a 2-man is such that, with two people, odds are the snowload will push the wall sufficiently to risk transferring moisture to a sleep system.That said, I'm sold on floorless and would recommend it to anyone, including the initiate.
Thanks so much for the input everyone, the blog and snow camping photos will really be helpful.Clearly a consideration will be what kind of campsites will be available, something I don't know, not having gone yet. I'd assume in the Sierra there would be many open spots, like in the summer, but perhaps I should get some first hand experience before making a selection. Now it just needs to keep snowing so I can get a trip in before the REI sale on Golite stuff ends.
As far as campsites go, in general you have more choice in the snow, since you can create a level site instead of having to find one. So size of shelter is not an issue, other than it being more work to create a larger level space. Here's a shot of my twin peaks on the snow:
On Denali, a snowy place, these style tents are standard cook shelters.To keep the pole from sinking they use a ski basket on the pole. Other folks use their shovel as a base.Contrary to what seems to be the conventional wisdom, single pole shelters are most stable and drift the least in wind. As for anchors, I like skis and ice axes, but if you don't have those and the snow is deep, bury snowfilled stuff sacks or stock-purchased snow anchors. if the snow is shallow, that's the worst. Too shallow for good anchors, too frozen for stakes. Then the technique in the Parcour de Wild video of burying a stick in a trench looks good.Anyway, I like the option of being able to get snow from inside the shelter, not worry about spills or tent fires and peeing is easy. I think the floorless pyramid style of tents are the BEST choice for winter camping.You don't have to worry about bringing snow in, or frosting up. It's lighter and puts you closer to the environment you have come to experience.As for sleeping near snow, snow caves and igloos have been around a long time for good reason.

Wrapping Up HRC's HBCU Leadership & Career Summit 2012
November 27, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Donna Payne, former HRC Associate Director of Field Outreach
The Human Rights Campaign's annual Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) Leadership and Career Summit was held the weekend of October 26 in Washington, D.C.
The summit offered personal leadership training and career development skills to 25 students from 14 HBCU schools in an effort to create a potent group of leaders who will advocate for equality and bring their whole selves to the workplace. This year's keynote speaker was Eugene Cornelius, Jr., Deputy Associate Administrator of Field Operations for the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
As an openly gay African American working for SBA, he is responsible for the management and oversight of over 90 office covering all fifty states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and other U.S. territories. The summit's facilitators, Dr. Jamie Washington and Shirley Fletcher, discussed such relevant topics as understanding the intersections of race and sexuality, and being "out" as an African American today.
The weekend was moderated by HRC's Human Resources Director John Greene who provided valuable advice to students about preparing for the workforce. Other guests throughout the weekend included corporate equality leaders from DuPont Inc., True Blue Inclusion, and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. The students also had a chance to participate in the Marylanders for Marriage Equality campaign by phone banking.

Step One – Registering with MIS
To request a DOE Digital Identity you must first register in DOE's Management Information System (MIS) by going to https://mis.doe.gov, selecting "Requesting Access" and following the onscreen instructions. Note: DOE Federal employees are already registered and do not need to complete this step, they may skip to step 2.
During the registration process you will be required to search for, and select, a DOE sponsor. Your DOE sponsor is the DOE federal employee that is certifying that you have a recognized relationship with the Department and have a valid need for a DOE Digital Identity. For contractors this person is often your Contract Task Manager, Contracting Officer's Representatives (COR), or Contracting Officer's Technical Representatives (COTR). The onscreen instructions will explain how to search for and select your DOE sponsor. You must have a DOE federal employee as your sponsor in order to move forward with obtaining a DOE Digital Identity.
At the end of the registration form you will be given the opportunity to add additional information in a "Comments" section. You MUST include the following information in that section:
- That this is a request for a DOE Digital Identity
- You must supply your Local/lab sponsor's contact information including their:
- Name
- Phone Number

Class of 1981
Center >>> 6-2, 232
1953-1963 Green Bay Packers, 1964-1967 Philadelphia Eagles
James Stephen Ringo. . .No. 7 draft choice, 1953. . .All-Pro status preceded Packers dynasty years. . .All-NFL seven times . . .Played in 10 Pro Bowls, three NFL championship games. . .Small for offensive lineman, but quick, determined, intelligent, superb team leader. . . Excellent down-field blocker, pass protector. . .Ignored numerous injuries to start in then-record 182 straight games, 1954-1967. . .Born November 21, 1931, in Orange, New Jersey. . .Died November 19, 2007, at age of 75.
Jim Ringo had to be a little shaken back in 1953. His college team, Syracuse University, had been slaughtered 61-5 by Alabama in the Orange Bowl. Then, as a 20-year-old Green Bay Packer draftee, Ringo couldn't believe his eyes when he went to Packer training camp in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
Between being lonesome and all "the bigger players competing for the center job," Ringo quit camp believing he didn't have a chance to make the team. In addition, Jim didn't like the militaristic camp rules. Ringo wasn't welcome at home and, as he put it, "They didn't want a quitter. They said you should at least try."
Despite his 211 pounds as a pro freshman, Ringo found his way back to Grand Rapids and the team ... and, of course, the rest is history. Ringo played 11 years with the Packers and four more with the Philadelphia Eagles.
He made All-League seven times and played in 10 Pro Bowls. Never weighing more than 235 pounds, he utilized his speed and football intelligence to dominate his opponents. When coach Vince Lombardi took over the Packers in 1959, Jim was the only already-established All-Pro on the roster. Lombardi built his offense around Ringo.
Lombardi was thankful for Jim's speed; "A bigger man might not be able to make the cut-off blocks on our sweeps the way Jim does. The reason Ringo's the best in the league is because he's quick and he's smart. He runs the offensive line, calls the blocks and he knows what every lineman does on every play." It's estimated that Ringo handled the ball (only the quarterback can match him) more than 12,000 times in his career, including around 1,000 snapbacks for punts or placekicks. And to think he almost quit football.

When we first heard about Shimano's Ultegra Di2 , electric shifting group set we were genuinely excited. Regular readers will be well aware of this as we bang on about it with such regularity, some of you may be forgiven for thinking we work for the Japanese giant – or have shares in the Ultegra factory.
The truth is, we were, or still are, supremely impressed with Dura-Ace Di2 in use, but acknowledge that it's well out of reach for a huge proportion of the cycling market. With Ultegra's electronic shifting (known in the office as Ui2), Shimano aims to bring all the benefits to a more cost-effective level. We in the Tech team feel it's a pretty important step and it certainly got us thinking.
What's it for? This is a question we have asked ourselves for the last 12 months since first being shown the groupset in a back country hotel in Warwickshire. Is it a racer's groupset, much like its original big brother Dura-Ace Di2?
Will it be more suited to the sportive rider? Does the type of cycling done matter or is it simply suited to experienced riders who'll be able to get the most out of it? Perhaps, conversely, it's for the beginner, the less experienced, less mechanically sympathetic or knowledgeable rider who'll benefit from the ability to shift whenever they choose to than rather than when gear changes should be made?
When we originally planned the test, the idea was to get a huge range of the Ultegra Di2 bikes available and conduct a big shootout-style test. When we actually thought about this we realised that the most comfortable or lightest bike wasn't really all that relevant to the success of the groupset, so this test has ended up a little bit different.
We tested Ultegra Di2 bikes to use in races, as well as winter riding and commuting. We put the bikes under women, beginners and very experienced riders. On long rides, short rides and rollers and turbos. In fact, pretty much anywhere we could and we used as wide a range of testers as possible to try to answer the questions we'd asked ourselves previously. So, get the kettle on and come on the journey with us. Ultegra Di2 – who is it for, really?
What is it?
Ultegra Di2 is Shimano's second tier of electronic shifting. To say it's a cheap option would be untrue, but comparatively, it's far more affordable than the Dura-Ace Di2 launch product. The same push button shifting system is retained, the same super-long battery life is evident, it has the same auto-trimming front derailleur, the ability to add periphery controls is coming, and to the everyman, it offers all the benefits of Dura-Ace mechanical. Here at CW, we reckon that's a pretty big deal.
The racers choice?
When Shimano developed their first electronic shifting groupset – Dura-Ace Di2 – it was aimed fair and square at the professional racer. The top-flight product was to be used in the big races as a showcase for what the Japanese company could do.
The racers would make the most of the speed and accuracy – and had been part of the development process so this made perfect sense. We wanted to know whether Ultegra Di2 was equal in the competitive realms and if it would have as similar focus.
When STIs were invented, the quantum shift in the regularity of gear shifting was huge. No longer did you need to choose a gear before a decisive sprint or steep climb and hope you had it right. The hesitation as riders let go of bars to shift on the down tube was often enough for an attack to get a gap that couldn't be closed. With the ability to change gear always at hand, racers changed gear far more often, and, as a result, found themselves in the correct gear more of the time.
Electric shifting offers a similar leap again in our opinion, particularly the front shift. There are often times in a racing situation where people won't change to the smaller chain ring, and struggle up inclines in the big chain ring, slightly over-geared.
They don't want to risk the hesitation in momentum a front shift requires as the hill is crested and an important jump has been made by rivals. The upshot of this is that riders' legs are far more cooked than they need be from pushing a big gear early and often in a race.
When the important move goes, the wary shifter may get cramp and loose out, despite having the fitness or ability – all because they're as hesitant as an older rider would have been with down-tube shifters. Ultegra Di2 will change the front shifter ridiculously fast, in any condition, under enormous load. The powerful worm drive motor forces the chain up onto the big ring with no need to reduce pedalling load. It's difficult to get across how little effect this shift has to your output. For racers, this alone is worth buying this groupset. However, it's not the only benefit.
The speed of rear shifting and pleasure of using the system meant that every single person who tested the system in a race environment changed gear more often, front and rear. Neutral service wheel change mean your gears are out? No problem with Ultegra Di2, a quick button push from the bar-mounted adjuster and you're set – adjusted, on the fly with no loss of position. Who wouldn't want that option? From a functional point of view, in our opinion there's no better groupset at this price for the racing cyclist.
A women's perspective on Ultegra Di2
By Hannah Bussey
I'm fully aware that not all females have the misfortune of having hands the size of a child on the ends of arms that are weaker than water. But if you've inherited physiology similar to mine, then quite frankly Ultegra Di2 is the stuff groupset dreams are made of.
In a mechanical world, without compact bars – I find reaching for the shifters and brakes from both the hoods and drops a bit of a drama.
If I can claw my fingers round the brake levers, I'm not always confident that I'll maintain my grip. Similarly when reaching the brakes, changing gear with a mechanical mechanism can been a bit of a gamble. The non-liner spring in the derailleur requires greater force and movement as you shift up the cassette, which my small hands can struggle with. Ultegra Di2 has eradicated all of these issues.
Electronic shifting flattens this exponential shifting effort and involvement in the process is now as easy as tapping a keyboard. The smaller hood radius and adjustable reach has banished any problems I've previously had with reach. My fingers confidently wrap round the brake levers by at least two knuckles, both on hoods and in drop positions, giving me absolute certainty in my stopping power.
Digitalization has the potential to revolutionise how I ride and race. With shifting gear so easy and effortless, I found myself doing it more often. I'm less lazy with allowing the chain to cross because previously shifting was a struggle and 'I'll only be in that gear for this hill anyway'.
It also auto trims the front derailleur to prevent chain rub – again making the shifting into the right gear as unproblematic as possible. The fact that I can now reach my brakes and shifters with confidence will make a massive difference to me. Previously I've only trusted my grip on the levers from the drops.
Knowing that I can apply sufficient braking pressure from both the hoods and drops has suddenly given me a new found confidence in my capabilities knowing that I'm in total control no matter what my position. There is no way I am alone in feeling this way as a woman with regard shifting and braking. Ultegra Di2 will measurably improve riding for a lot of women.
How heavy is it?
There is a weight penalty over mechanical parts, but it's small beans compared to the huge improvement in the ride experience. Its less than a couple of hundred grams – is there anywhere else on bike or rider that cannot be lost from?
How long does a battery last?
Months. Even pros get by with four or five charges a year. The reality is, twice or three times a year you'll need to top up, and you get plenty of warning when the battery falls below 50 per cent.
Will I get stuck with no gears when it dies?
The front derailleur uses far more power, and stops working first. You'll still have plenty of power left to get you home and be able to use the rear the whole time. If you end up on the road with no power, you'll have ignored a LOT of warnings.
Will it short in the rain?
We have used Ultegra Di2 and Dura Ace Di2 in all conditions through terrible winter weather. We have never had any issue with water ingress. Pro cyclo-cross riders use Dura Ace Di2 (which bizarrely, isn't as well-sealed as Ultegra Di2) and their bikes get jet-washed during races. Trust us, it's well sealed!

The pure functionality of the Ultegra Di2 groupset was never in doubt to the CW Tech Team. From early prototypes to our first uses on production equipment, we've been amazed how much of the Dura Ace Di2 quality has filtered down to Ultegra Di2. When a groupset works as well as Ultegra Di2 does, in any condition, with such regularity it's bound to gain fans and when we planned this grouptest we wanted to see what riding the groupset suited. As we progressed we realised it was just as much about the type of rider as the riding.
We're not surprised that it suited the racer, that's in its genes, but the suitability for other situations and users did. How quickly beginners and less experienced riders 'got' the idea was a bit of a revelation, as was how much difference the scale and effort required for shifting impressed those with smaller or weaker hands.
After a winter of salt, grit, road spray and general abuse, how unaffected the performance and well sealed the connection were also impressed immensely. A few forays onto cyclo-cross territory were also impressive and very well suited to the precision. Being completely unaffected by dirt ingress was a revelation to hardened racers used to finessing shifts as a race went on.
The reality is whatever bike we rode equipped with Ultegra Di2, it worked exceptionally well. Functionality and suitability of the group is all encompassing. If you're in the market for a bike at the relevant price point, or a new groupset – or even just new shifters and mechs if you have compatible parts – we can't see any reason why you would choose a mechanical option. Yes, it really is that good.

In the desert, Steve Nash was the talk before the game because of trade rumors. But the actual game came down to another guard. Roddy Beaubois (five points) missed two shots in the final seconds that could have tied the game and the Suns escaped. Roddy Buckets couldn't find Dirk either time. The guy that denied him the ball, Grant Hill (15 points) missed free throws to almost blow the game, which may be the first time Hill hasn't done something right in a while on the court. Asked afterward about seemingly guarding every Mav on the floor, specifically Nowitzki, Hill said it's tough to man up Dirk. Why? "I actually like him as a person," he said. He may like him but he locked him up all night … Fun to watch the former Sun turned Mav (Jason Kidd) get 12 points and three assists while a former Sun-turned-Mav-turned-Sun (Nash) put up 11 and 11 … Dirk wasn't his normal self, putting up only 18 for Dallas. Sure, he did his usual in-air gymnastics leg-kick fadeaways (He was also limping around like a wino. We never want to see anybody get hurt, but the replay of Dirk's section-by-section fall made us laugh because it was just like Kevin Hart describing how Shaq falls down), but they weren't dropping like normal, and that's a compliment to Hill's defense. Dirk needs about half an inch of space to get his shot off but it was rare he even got that … The nice sign for Dallas was Lamar Odom, who scored 15 on 6-of-10 shooting. In one stretch he had a nice baseline drive, then lost his man on a screen and stepped back for a three. If he can just get confident and do that, what's the Mavericks' ceiling this year? … Shannon Brown had a putback dunk in the fourth quarter that looked like something out of NBA Jam. It put the Suns up by 10 and blew the roof off the building (the roof Shannon had just scraped before coming down), threatening to put the Mavs to bed. But the best part was the non-reaction by Suns assistant Bill Cartwright. He seemed almost bored by the dunk, like he'd seen that kind of thing a million times. Granted, Bill did practice and play next to Michael Jordan for years, but still … Are there any circumstances under which Chris Webber and Dick Stockton would kick it outside of work? We just picture Stockton reminiscing about Bobby Darin and C-Webb reminiscing about Bobby Digital … We're out like Washington.

Archbishop Burke repeats: no Communion, no Catholic funeral for pro-abortion politicians
Catholic World News - September 22, 2009
Archbishop Raymond Burke, speaking at the Inside Catholic partnership dinner, said that Catholic politicians who support legal abortion should not be allowed to receive Communion or to have Catholic funerals. The American archbishop, who now heads the Apostolic Signatura, explained that this disciplinary approach is not a matter of judging the individual's soul, but "a recognition of the scandal" caused by public support for abortion. He added that in order to remove that scandal, since the individual has taken a public stand in opposition to Church teaching, "his repentance must also be public."
Archbishop Burke, who now chairs the Vatican's top canonical court, said that the Church's policy is clearly indicated by the Code of Canon Law. He rejected the argument that disciplinary action against pro-abortion Catholics would cause division in the Church; on the contrary, he said, it would help "to repair a breach in the life of the Church" caused by the scandal of public dissent. The archbishop said that Church leaders "must speak the truth in charity" for the welfare of their people.
