Budget vote reveals politics on Anderson County Council
- 5-2 to adopt final reading of the proposed 2007-08 budget.
- 6-0 to rezone on second reading 71 acres on the west side of Midway Road and Harriet Circle and the south side of Crestview Road from R-20, single-family 20,000-square-foot lots, to planned development. Council member Gracie Floyd abstained. Developer Baylis Maxwell told the Council that the right-of-way along Crestview Road had been increased to accommodate a turn lane on Crestview. He also said more green space had been added to the proposed development. The change would allow for a mixture of residential and commercial use.
- 4-2 to rezone on second reading 12.2 acres at the intersection of Edgebrook Drive and Concord Road from R-20, single family 20,000-square-foot lots, to planned development. Cindy Wilson and Gracie Floyd opposed the change and Bob Waldrep abstained.
- 7-0 to approve on second reading a fee-in-lieu-of tax agreement with Watson Engineering Inc. The company recently announced it would invest $7.5 million in a new facility in the Upstate Industrial Park. The company has committed to creating 50 new jobs over five years.
- 7-0 to approve a request from Ms. Floyd to allocate $1,500 to the Youth in Progress program at the Westside Community Center.
- 7-0 to approve a request from Larry Greer to allocate $500 apiece to the Starr-Iva Middle School's state history competition and the national 4-H competition.
- 7-0 to approve a request from Ms. Wilson to repave the parking lot at the Belton-Honea Path Water Authority at a cost of $550.
- 7-0 to approve a request from Mr. Waldrep to spend $5,000 on a tire changer for the county's fleet services division.
- 7-0 to approve a request from Michael Thompson to allocate $5,000 to the Center Rock Fire Department.
Put your right foot in, take your right foot out.
Local government observers believe some members of the Anderson County Council played a game of political hokey-pokey by voting Tuesday for an 8-mills tax increase in the 2007-08 budget.
The tax hike includes a 3.4-mills increase, with 1.4 mills allocated to the general fund and 2 mills to assist with funding of bridges and bridge crew, along with a separate, one-time 4.5-mills levy that would retire a $2.3 million deficit the Sheriff's Office accumulated in fiscal year 2005-06. County officials also said $500,000 in budget line items were removed from the spending plan.
The council voted 5-2, with Cindy Wilson and Michael Thompson voting in opposition, to approve the budget on final reading.
The decision was a disappointment to those who believed that the council would slant more to the right with the election of several new members thought to be fiscal conservatives.
Passage of the budget was a victory for County Administrator Joey Preston and another defeat for taxpayers, said Dan Harvell, chairman of the Anderson County Taxpayers Association. Initially, Mr. Harvell said he believed the council would mount a serious challenge to the administration's spending practices.
And in the weeks leading up to the budget vote, there appeared to be a greater scrutiny of the county's finances as the council held several budget work sessions.
In the end, however, Mr. Harvell said the county administrator was handed the budget that he wanted.
"This is a yearly thing now. Every year, the budget process goes up against the wall and Joey gets what he wants," he said.
He said the elimination of $500,000 in line items in the budget was nothing more than damage control.
Mr. Harvell said the Taxpayers Association was disappointed that new council members Ron Wilson and Bob Waldrep voted in favor of the spending plan.
At Tuesday's meeting, Mr. Waldrep said he wouldn't have voted for a tax increase unless significant budget cuts had been proposed. Mr. Wilson has been a strong advocate for providing more funding for roads and bridges.
The vote Tuesday also proved certain political alliances predicted by some have failed to materialize, according to Ed Jean, a Democratic candidate for Cindy Wilson's council seat in 2006.
For example, some thought Cindy Wilson and Ron Wilson would become allies, but that hasn't happened, he said.
"I think there have been some new ones that have formed," he said.
Heading into the budget vote, Mr. Jean said he thought Mr. Wilson, Mr. Thompson and Gracie Floyd would support the budget with Mr. McAbee possibly being the swing vote.
"I really wasn't sure what was going to take place," he said. "I was a little bit surprised."
Meanwhile, Mr. Jean said Mr. Waldrep is his "own guy" who has tried to bridge the gap between the far right and the far left.
"He plays so coy at times," he said.
Overall, Mr. Jean said the budget passed because both the council and the county administrator were willing to compromise.
Rick Freemantle, who ran against Ron Wilson in District 6 in 2006, called the budget and the tax increase an "absolute disgrace," saying the council should have given more credence to the $4 million in budget cuts proposed by council member Cindy Wilson.
He described the proposed cuts as "convenient window dressing" and doubts any of them will be implemented. Mr. Freemantle also said he wasn't surprised by Mr. Waldrep's support of the new spending plan.
"I was warned that he was this type of person and he held true to his colors. ... He's not a Republican and he's not a conservative. I prayed that he wouldn't, but it didn't work out in this case," he said.
He also predicted Mr. Wilson's stay on the council will be a short one.
"He has turned his back on hundreds and hundreds of voters who believed in him and supported him," Mr. Freemantle said. "I think he's done in District 6. He should enjoy the time he has left on the bench."
Local government observer and resident Art Kaldas said both sides reached a compromise thanks to hard work, negotiations and courage on the part of the council and the administration.
"The administration had to settle for what they could get," Mr. Kaldas said. "They went through the list of expenses and saw what they could cut with the least amount of damage."

By Al Doig March 29, 2011 | Insights Outlook | Molecular diagnostics (MDx), a branch of in vitro diagnostics, is based on determining nucleic acid sequences mainly for medical applications. Sequence determination is largely performed using methods based on hybridization of labeled DNA probes with target nucleic acid sequences. Early molecular diagnostic assays focused on detecting pathogenic microorganisms, and were limited, relative to culture-based methods, by label detection issues. A breakthrough for the field occurred when Gen-Probe increased assay sensitivity by targeting the many copies of microbial ribosomal RNA instead of the single chromosomal copy, an innovation that launched the molecular identification of bacterial pathogens market. The development of PCR target amplification in the 1980's virtually ended concerns over sensitivity and enabled development of assays for viral nucleic acids. In the intervening years, the field has witnessed a wave of competitive target amplification innovation directed at overcoming IP barriers and protocol difficulties. Other significant technological contributions have come in the areas of signal amplification and multiplex assays for simultaneous detection of large numbers of differing mRNAs. The current molecular diagnostics products scene is dominated by assays for infectious agents, cancer, and genetic diseases. Within the infectious disease area, molecular diagnostics are used to identify sexually transmitted diseases as well as many viral targets including HIV, hepatitis B and C, human papilloma virus (HPV) and flu viruses. These tests are also used to test all units of donated blood intended for transfusion for specific viral elements. Cancer-related testing can be categorized as diagnostic, companion diagnostic, prognostic/therapy selection, and predictive. Tests cover colon, lung, prostate, bladder, and esophageal cancers, as well as leukemias, gliomas, multiple myelomas, and others. Companion diagnostic assays aid in deciding whether a given patient qualifies for a particular drug. For example, Dako and Abbott provide MDx tests for overexpression of the HER2/neu gene which predict response to Genentech's Herceptin. The molecular diagnostics market has undergone significant change and new technologies promise to yield product line extensions and well as machines for the point-of-care market as test automation expands. Next-generation sequencing is awaiting further refinement before quite possibly having a major impact on the character of the MDx market. "I'm really excited about it [NGS], but it's very impractical today to use it in diagnosis…eventually sequencing will be important for diagnostics" says Lyle Arnold, President and Founder of Aegea Biotechnologies. However, regulatory reforms now under consideration could slow market growth, although recent political shifts are likely to slow or even prevent much of an impact for 2011 and into 2012. Tom Adams, senior CTO and director of IRIS International and founder of Gen-Probe had this to say, "It's my own personal opinion that they [FDA] won't do it… It would have a chilling effect on innovation all through diagnostics." Dynamic Growth The MDx market is currently growing at 15% annually, nearly double the rate of the overall in vitro diagnostics market, and is estimated to reach $8.4 billion in 2014. Oncology and critical care infectious disease testing sectors are likely growth leaders. Looking ahead two years, even if regulatory reform stalls, the industry still needs improved reimbursement for esoteric and expensive diagnostic products for personalized medicine. Yet the MDx market remains dynamic in the sense that small companies continually develop useful new assays in newer, less mature MDx sectors. Furthermore, if and when significant regulatory reform does adversely affect MDx, it is likely to do so in a phased manner, starting with the highest risk assays and include significant levels of "grandfathering." Despite these challenges, Harry Glorikian, founder and managing partner of Scientia Advisors adds "the main point is that MDx is changing the paradigm that's more digital, if you will, than analog, decisions that directly influence downstream therapy decisions."

Grow Up!!
Posted by Bob in Bob's Book, Insider Letter Archive on 10/11/2004
"A liberal is a person who has not outgrown his college education."
The first line is from my book, Why Johnny Can't Think: America's Professor-Priesthood, the last two words were added by my book team.
Nothing would infuriate liberals more than this. The biggest selling point of liberalism is that it is what smart, serious people do. Every rube tries to show he is not a rube by becoming "progressive" in his politics. They cannot STAND to be ridiculed.
If you want to put up some leaflets for the book, this would be the one that will give you the greatest satisfaction. It would make a hell of a bumper sticker.
The reason putting this one up would give you personal satisfaction is because it is guaranteed to make every liberal want to shout, exactly the way they have made you want to shout all those years with their control of the media.
In fact, what you really should do is go back and see how long that flyer stays up. We could have another flyer to stick up that says, "There was a flyer here that pointed out that a liberal is a person who has not grown out of his college education. It was torn down because it hit home."
This is just a first suggestion. You can do what you want to do. You can get satisfaction from knowing you are hitting liberals where they live.
Another thing you can do is complain if the flyers are taken down. Everybody has forgotten this, but YOU pay for the colleges and universities. They have no place for the opinion of the public that pays for the school.
If you have the courage and the will, you could go to the college authorities and ask them where you, as a member of the public, CAN post your opinions on the campus. You could make the point of the book better than the book does. The book will give you plenty of ammunition.
But when you go and ask where your taxpayer's opinion can be posted, you are right down to the point of Why Johnny Can't Think, which is, why do universities not only pay professors to give out their opinions on campus, but ban you from doing it? You will be told they are professors. In other words, only professors ordain other professors. They give EACH OTHER the right to your money, and to our next generation.
You can personally demand a place for PUBLIC opinion on the campuses the PUBLIC pays for. And don't APOLOGIZE for doing it. If you pay for it, it's yours.
It reminds me of a bumper sticker I once saw, "As a Matter of Fact, I DO Own the Roads."
As a matter of fact, if the universities weren't your business, you wouldn't have to pay for them.

I pride myself in the fact that I have lived in New York for a long time and have never gone to see a musical of any kind. But, that might have to change when the musical adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis book hits the stage. There's no cast and the music and script haven't even been written yet, but Variety is reporting that it's going to be a huge Broadway production when it's done. If they manage to combine Huey Lewis and chainsaw murder on stage, that might be worth going to midtown for.
Initial reports suggest that they want to keep the story and the music true to the original, meaning that it will be jam packed with '80s nostalgia. I have my fingers crossed for an original song that sounds like Peter Gabriel with lyrics about skull fucking. But, until it's done, I'll settle for watching Evil Dead: The Musical or plotting the brutal murder of everyone involved with Legally Blonde: The Musical.

School Principal and Teacher Sing Snow Closing Message [VIDEO]
How do you make school announcements fun? Put it to music of course! The Principal at Stephens Elementary in Burlington Kentucky decided that sending those same boring old closing messages to parents had to change. So he got creative with one of the teachers and sang the school closing message to the tune of Queen's hit "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Check out the very funny message for yourself below.

Are stricter regulations required for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Should the public be concerned about who they do business with and who they exclude from the round table? Some calculate the Fannie and Freddie bailout to come in at $317 billion but I beg to differ. If the public take into consideration the numerous assistance these organizations received over the years, their secret dealings at the FED discount window and any other Department of Treasury deals lurking out there this bailout could be close to a trillion.
The public should be disgusted by the numerous changes in CEOs and there have been no new announcements about how the agency plans on moving forward (a different way of doing business). There are an abundance of nonperforming properties sitting on their balance sheets; properties that can benefit the public in a free market process yet all we hear is the business as usual rhetoric of turning to Wall Street for answers. To many in these circles innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit ran out the door a long time ago; today it is about making undisclosed deals that further pad the pockets of the people who brought our latest crisis. Improvements are needed but it can only come with executives that have a moral and entrepreneurial compass. I am hoping that the new CEOs of both Fannie and Freddie fit this description.
The people who have orchestrated our most recent financial disaster are being invited to the table to reap the benefits of their destruction. Basically it's cash grabbing. It is true that Wall Street does have the money to absorb a lot of these properties but Fannie and Freddie owe local communities and small businesses gratitude for the numerous times that they have come to the assistance of these organizations. Also, what about the people that are going to be sold these homes that are being bought; what type of financing products will be offered? Private equity and hedge funds are probably going to devise financing products with heavy fees and high interest just as a thank you for the bail out.
Where is the small business involvement? Where is the nonprofit involvement? The public will never see justice from these two agencies (I say agencies because they function with government assistance) until they hire civic minded entrepreneurs with the capability and the innovation to involve institutions that will help them make money.
Fannie and Freddie's business model isolates them from Main Street to the point that they do not know how to make money there. There business model have too many buffers that prevent them from creating the relationships and products that will benefit them and Main Street. This is also the mind set of Wall Street and that is what allows these brilliant minded executives to develop and promote a financial product to people with no affordability. Secondly they are financing more and hire priced real estate when all of the facts show that middle class income is decreasing. How smart is that; a two year old can function better at a lemonade stand.
We must be diligent to discourage these exclusive agreements where great discounts will be awarded to the wrong organizations. I am challenging the public to voice their opinions about this type of behavior. You the public have the power to make the change and I know you will. Ten years from now I hope we are not comparing this crisis to the next one.

A protest has been organized to speak out against the proposed cuts in city funding for the Ferguson Library, at 4:30 p.m. today at the Government Center, 888 Washington Blvd. Budget cuts could lead to reduced library hours and the closing of branches across Stamford.
Protesters to challenge Ferguson Library cuts
2 Responses
Ferguson Library.
I came of age in the old Ferguson Library, dropped off on saturdays as a child for the opportunity to read when others were probably playing Little League baseball (hence my outstanding vocabulary and sub-par knuckle ball!)
In later years (kids, do not try that this at home) I skipped high school and made my way down Strawberry Hill to the Ferguson (stopping for a Bess Eaton donut and coffee on the way or at my uncle Vinny's hot dog joint along the way)
On rainy days I hid in the stacks (figuratively) and absorbed political tracks (like Ayn Rand and Bill Buckley), bullfights and the Spanish Civil War (Hemingway) or the face of the future like Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984 (recall this was 1969 and 1984 was the future)
The Ferguson had oddities in its periodical section from right to left to outside the box and I absorbed it all.
Libraries are at the heart of a community, accessible to all from the high school kid to retiree to the less fortunate who find warmth in its chairs and the opportunity to escape in its collection.
While I am no longer in Stamford (and havent been in the Ferguson for 30 years!) I never miss a library visit when I travel and know that my life, as an educator, was begun, in the reading room at the old Ferguson library four decades ago.
Massive overtime for police and a huge chunk of tax money going for education. Yet this city can't find money for one of the great draws of this community: its dynamic library. It's becoming clearer and clearer that there's no real pleasure in living in Stamford anymore. All the good things about it are going away and it's becoming a money pit for the middle class. These cuts are outrageous!

Employee: Mary Jane Doonan
Employer: Pointe Group Health Care and Senior Center
Insurer: AIM Mutual Insurance Co.
Board No.: 024722-04
(Judges Fabricant, Costigan and Horan)
The case was heard by Administrative Judge McManus.
Rickie T. Weiner, Esq., for the employee at hearing and oral argument
James N. Ellis, Esq., for the employee on brief
George D. Kelly, Esq., for the insurer at hearing
Paul M. Moretti, Esq. for the insurer on brief and at oral argument
FABRICANT, J. The parties cross-appeal from a decision awarding the employee a closed period of § 34 total incapacity benefits, followed by ongoing § 35 partial incapacity benefits. We summarily affirm the decision as to the employee's appeal, as it challenges what the insurer concedes are scrivener's errors in incapacity change dates. The insurer has acknowledged these errors, and has paid benefits in accordance with the corrections asserted by the employee. (Ins. br. 18, n. 6) However, finding merit in the insurer's argument that the judge's earning capacity findings are arbitrary and capricious, we recommit the case for further findings.
The employee broke her right ankle while working for the employer nursing home on August 8, 2004, and was provided with a splint and crutches. She started having left knee pain a week later. Although the left knee pain and swelling continued, the employee discontinued using crutches after several weeks. The employee did not return to work with the employer, but did return to teaching tap dancing at her own small business on September 22, 2004. (Dec. 6-7.)
The insurer argues that the judge's findings with respect to earning capacity are not anchored in the evidence, thus requiring recommittal. We agree.
The judge awarded § 34 benefits from the date of injury until September 22, 2004 when the employee returned to teaching tap dancing. Although a $360 earning capacity was assigned as of that date, the judge subsequently increased the earning capacity to $640 as of June 23, 2005, the date of the § 11A impartial physician's report. [1] (Dec. 20.)
The judge relied upon the impartial physician's opinion in increasing the employee's earning capacity to $640, but also based the initial $360 earning capacity assignment on that same impartial physician opinion, as well as the consistent disability opinion of the employee's expert physician, Dr. Guistolisi. (Dec. 11-12.) Addressing her use of the impartial physician's disability opinion for the prior period of incapacity, the judge found, "there is no compelling medical evidence that would indicate the Impartial's opinions prior to his date of exam, were not in effect." (Dec. 12.)
The error lies in the inconsistent use of the June 23, 2005 impartial disability opinion in support of both a finding of improvement in the employee's incapacity status, and the earlier, lower earning capacity. The impartial physician's disability opinion cannot accomplish both tasks. If the impartial report represents evidence of medical improvement yielding a $640 earning capacity, it cannot also support the earlier $360 earning capacity. Likewise, if the impartial opinion supports the earlier earning capacity assignment, then the date of the impartial report cannot also be the basis for the judge's increase in earning capacity. On recommittal, the judge must make further findings that resolve this inconsistency.
Accordingly, we recommit the case.
So ordered.

Filed: February 27, 2009
[1] To the extent that a demarcation date based upon the findings of the impartial physician is required, the date of the actual examination, June 16, 2005, is the appropriate date to use and, accordingly, should be incorporated into the judge's order upon recommital. See Jantuah v. Montachusett Opportunity Council, Inc., 10 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 810 (1996); Cabral v. Aerovox, Inc., 9 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 536 (1995); Palardy v. Commonwealth of Mass. DPW, 6 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 165 (1992); D'Angeli v. McDonalds Restaurant, 1 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 193 (1987).

High Drama Amid ObamaCare Threats
The furor about the recent threats: Real fear? Or political theater?
March 25, 2010 - 3:00 pm
Okay, so let's get this out of the way first: no one at PJ Media is advocating violence. I wrote the "dek" — that long subheading each of our PJM pieces uses — for Roger Simon's open letter to Steny Hoyer. I think it summarizes his position, and certainly does mine:
I unequivocally condemn those threats and any possible acts of violence taken in response to the bill. I also unequivocally condemn the actions of the Democratic Party in running roughshod over the clear will of the American people. You have reaped a whirlwind by subverting a democracy.
So let's be clear: Roger was not in fact suggesting that a tornado should hit Steny Hoyer, and neither am I.
Let's refer to this old quote, often misattributed to Thomas Jefferson, and very popular until November 2008:
When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
Now, yesterday's big deal was the death threat about which Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) was so exercised:
Millions of people wish you ill.
The horror.
Talking Points Memo, Daily Kos, and other paradigmatic left-side blogs are collapsing in waves of maidenly vapors over this. Of course, no one likes getting called "a piece of human sh*t" by an anonymous caller, but then you should see some of the comments at PJM that never make it out of our comments queue. Still, clearly this is out of line, much worse than, say:
I want to spit on them, take one of their "Obama Plan White Slavery" signs and knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon heads.
That's Courtland Milloy in the Washington Post on March 24, 2010.
And naturally, no one likes to hear, as Rep. Stupak purportedly did:
Congressman Stupak, you baby-killing motherf—er. … I hope you bleed out your a–, got cancer and die, you motherf—er.
This is, of course, much worse than Sean Penn's recent gentility:
"Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer?" he continued. "Yeah."
This could continue — mobs trashing campaign offices, death threats on signs, popular novels and movies about assassinating the president, radio messages using gunshot sound effects to threaten the president — almost endlessly, but I'll spare you. Besides, all those were threats or attacks against Bush or Republicans.

Mark Odlum grew up on the mean streets of West Hartford, CT, and dominated in every aspect of his life. Well… ok… so not every aspect, but like a good 4 or 5 aspects. Ok… more like two, but he was still pretty great at those two.
At Providence College, Mark studied Marketing and Art, continuing his interests in the pursuit of happiness and the flow of currency by painting canvases (for fun) and walls (for money). Upon graduation, he moved to Boston and landed a job, quickly rising within the cut-throat ranks of corporate telecom sales, but something was missing. Friends and family encouraged Mark to follow his dream of making people laugh. Within two years, Mark elevated to the main stage of Improv Boston and soon thereafter, The Improv Asylum. Hungry for a new pavement to pound, he headed to New York City, determined to fill his toolbox with every kind of acting class he could find while frequenting the Upright Citizens Brigade and the Peoples Improv Theatre.
Improv comedy soon led to creating characters, writing scripts and producing award-winning content, namely "Strange Faculty," a sitcom that won the NBC Comedy Short Festival. Mark then co-wrote and developed another pilot for NBC called "Off Season," a television comedy set in New England. His comedy short "Parking Garage: Beyond the Limit" has toured the world, resulting in residual checks in foreign currencies that he's not sure how to cash. Mark also co-created and stars in the independently produced TV pilot "Smokewood," a Western comedy about a fish-out-of-water from Boston who becomes the mayor of a Tombstone-esque town.
Mark has arrested people for shoplifting on "As the World Turns," appeared in National Commercials, and is a card-carrying member of the WGA, SAG and AFTRA. He is currently working on his first novel entitled "Last Run of the Day," and now resides on the mean streets of Los Angeles, and is still pretty great at the same two things.

I bought a Digital Voice Recorder a few days ago. Pretty snazzy... voice activated, and will record voice or phone conversations... Good stuff. Anyway, it records onto flash memory for up to 64 hours. It puts all of the data into .dvr files (I don't know if that is a standard or not). I was wondering... if the vendor doesn't offer a Linux solution for converting these files to .wav or .mp3, am I screwed? I figured I may be able to access it like a thumbdrive, and copy the files to the hard drive, but I wouldn't know what to use, or if I even could, play the files afterwards. I also wanted to put the files on CD, so I wanted to be able to convert them to wav or mp3. Would I just need to use the earphone jack and plug the recorder into the mic input of my soundcard? What software would I use to convert the audio that would be transferred that way to mp3?

Football: Chinese club appoints Italian coach Lippi
China's Guangzhou Evergrande announced Thursday they had signed World Cup-winning Italian coach Marcello Lippi, in the latest foreign acquisition by clubs in the nation's Super League.
"In accordance with the strategic needs of the club... the following decision was made: to hire Mr. Marcello Lippi as the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande," the club in China's southern industrial city said in a statement.
"The period of hiring is two years and six months," it added, without giving further details about Lippi's salary.
Lippi, 64, led Italy to World Cup glory in 2006 but he has not worked since leaving the post following the national side's ignominious performance in 2010, when they became the first defending champions to exit at the group stage.
The Guangzhou Evergrande announcement follows persistent media rumours and comes despite manager Lee Jang-Soo this week taking the team into the AFC Champions League knock-out rounds.
In its statement, the club said Lee would step down as the team's head coach, but it was unclear whether he would stay on in another capacity.
Speaking at a press conference broadcast live on Chinese state television, Lippi said he was first contacted by the club in May last year.
"I dispatched an assistant to go see the club's matches, which made me even more determined. I am very enthusiastic about coming to China," he said.
Despite the 2010 World Cup debacle, the silver-haired Italian comes with excellent club credentials after winning the Champions League with Juventus, with whom he also claimed several Serie A titles.

I have decided to take the plunge and move from a tent to a tarp and bivy. I wonder if you could help me make a good choice. (please understand that I have paid close attention to the "tent v.s. tarp/bivy" discussions" and am clear on that :-). I backpack in the Sierra Nevada, summertime. I am looking at the MLD superlight, full head net zippered bivy, 6.7 oz for $175, and the Borah argon, same full head net, zippered, 6.1 oz for $95. And, if I choose (and move quickly) there is a MLD cuben superlight for sale on this website for $200, 5.2 oz. So...what would you advise? Thanks in advance.
You really can not go wrong with any of the options that you have listed. I took the plunge last year and after a lot of contemplation and many emails back and forth I ended up with a Borah gear Cuben bottom and M90 top full mesh on the head end xxl and xw as I am 6 ft 5 and sleep in the spin cycle. I used this under a Yama Mountain Gear Cirraform on all 8 nights of my JMT thru hike last year. I had no challenges and the guys at Borah gear were very accommodating and answered a lot of questions before we decided what to build.With that said, I am a huge fan of MLD (have a solomid XL on order) and everything that I have seen from them is Top Notch. You really can not go wrong with either of these manufacturers.YMMVJeff

Thanks Jeff. I'm kind of average for a woman I think at 5'6 but also sleep in the spin cycle (like that description). So that makes me wonder if the regular size is right...ah...so many decisions....
I've been using the MLD superbivy since 2009 which includes alot of hiking in the Sierra Nevada. Mine has the half moon window but for pure summer hiking, the full netting option is probably better. As I cowboy camp most of the time and use a Tarp when it rains, I've gotten a lot of use out of it. Its held up nicely despite 3500+miles on it. That said, I've heard some nice things about the Borah bivies and don't think you could go wrong either way.
No expensive bivies anymore Lenora, quoth the raven nevermore. Borah argon sounds nice. (i realize some "poetic license" was used with your name..)
Thanks so much for your input. Wish I were a poet...don't you just know it! I'm leaning towards the cost savings of the borah argon, and am sure the bugs will...be gone (ha!) I'm doing the JMT this summer (woot!) and will give it a good workout!
dont forget the ol' Bristlecone from Katabatic... my favoritep.s they do a 5.6 option
Edited by mrjones on 01/30/2014 01:06:09 MST.
I LOVE my Katabatic Bristlecone bivy. I also LOVE my Bear Paw Wilderness bug bivy for the buggy warm months if needed. Though these are the only 2 bivys I have ever owned and used, so I can not compare them to others fairly, I can say they are worth looking at. Used alone, or with a tarp when weather warrents, bivys are fantastic. I am glad I went this route and ditched the tent. I will add that I like the bivy with accross the chest and side zipper as it makes getting in and out simple and also if you leave it unzipped u van catch a blast of fresh air. All of the bivys you mentioned are probably awesome. Now you must decide which one you will go with. Either way you choose, I'm pretty sure you will be a happy hiker and camper!!
Edited by dirtbaghiker on 01/30/2014 06:57:32 MST.
Another vote for the Katabatic Gear Bristlecone. While I don't always use the attachment points on my Katabatic quilt to attach it to the pad, I always use the attachment points on the bivy to attach it to my inflatable air mat. Most bivys have a sil-nyon bottom and If you toss and turn a lot, you'll never have to worry about your pad sliding around with the Bristlecone. And no, you don't have to use their quilt with this bivy.
Thanks so much. I looked at the Katy...it looks more closed in to me...and its about the cost of the MLD ultralite. I am drawn to the full head net...I think I will feel lee confined in it(I really DO want to see what goes bump in the night).. I'd go with the full bug bivy (sooo light) if it weren't for thinking about rain splatter, & the added warmth/wind protection will be a benefit I think. Ive sent a message to Bora asking a few tarp & bivy questions. So..depending on what I hear from them I'll most likely get both tarp & bivy from them. I do appreciate the thoughtful input from this group. (am still tempted to go with a cat tarp :-)
You might take a look at the zpacks one here as well:http://www.zpacks.com/shelter/bivy.shtmlI like the center zipper with the larger (and removable) screen.
Edited by millonas on 01/31/2014 07:58:04 MST.
One thing to consider regarding a tarp purchase. Cat cut tarps are nice if you are looking for something that is easy to set up in the same way each and every time. I have a Cirraform that I have used a ton and at the end of the day when I am thinking of nothing but sleep it is very easy to set up On long nights or extreme weather days it can seem a bit limiting as it is low slung and there is not a ton of "livable" room. It is amazing at shedding wind and I have hunkered down in it on a couple of nights in major storms and i stayed dry. I love it and it will not likely never leave my quiverI have also added an 8 x 10 flat tarp, and the more I play with it the more I am beginning to really love it. There is a ton of versatility. I can set it up a frame with a similar pitch to my Cirraform or depending on where and why It is going up. I have a ton of options. Hot sunny day, I can set it up high or as a lean to to create shade for lunch or a quick nap, if weather turns quickly, I can button it down with almost the same level of protection as the Cirraform. Better, maybe but different for sure.Just things to think aboutYMMVJeff

Are You Ready for Lorac Pro Palette 2?
It's coming!
Very soon in fact! Are you ready for the Lorac Pro Palette 2? Lorac is set to introduce their Pro Palette 2 on exclusively at Ulta.com on June 15th! The Lorac Pro Palette 2 will be $42 and includes 16 eyeshadow shades!
Inspired by the best-selling, industry-favorite Lorac Pro Palette, The Lorac Pro Palette 2 features 8 shimmer and 8 matte shades in cooler tones. And of course, you'll need some prepping help for all the looks you're bound to create with the new Pro Palette 2 so Lorac hooks you up with a Behind the Scenes Mini Eye Primer to prep eyes and keep your shadows long wearing without creasing or fading.
So mark the date as the new Lorac Pro 2 Palette officially launches exclusively on Ulta.com June 15th!
Ready for it?
6/9/14 11:33 Adrienne:
I can't wait for your swatches! I see the colors I would use most are plum, chrome and everything to the right of those colors. The colors to the left would be my daytime look.
6/9/14 12:33 Cindi:
Oh no! How can I stick to my no buy with all these cosmetic goodies? I love Lorac products. And my Achilles heel is palettes. All that beautiful shadow in one easy to carry package? Yes, please. Oh no, I'm on a no buy… maybe just one last palette.
6/9/14 13:57 Sonya J:
I'm just about to FINALLLLYY get my hands on the first pro palette so this launch is perfect
6/9/14 14:54 Phyrra:
I think the colors look great in it
6/9/14 21:50 Puri:
Phyrra, is Lorac cruelty free?
6/9/14 19:22 marquita:
this is on the site today
6/9/14 19:28 marquita:
Sorry looks like it may be up for preorder only
6/9/14 20:51 Dawn:
Definitely need this! So many colors look distinctly similar to Laura Mercier shadows. For anyone still needing the Pro Palette, Kohl's now carries LORAC, Cargo, The Balm and Pur Minerals. Just went by the one closest to my house last Friday and they had about 10 Pro Palettes in stock! That's was a shock since Ulta is always sold out.
6/10/14 19:47 Lori P:
I've got this saved to my wishlist on Ulta and as soon as the 15th rolls around..I hope to get it!
6/12/14 12:44 Kate:
I didn't care for the first pro palette so I don't know that I'll think to buy the second. I didn't think the pigmentation was very good and I've always been a huge fan of Lorac and their palettes (especially the Croc and a the Miss. Davenporte limited edition palette that I bought 4 times now). Their products are SO hit or miss, it's often hard to believe their from one company.

PD: Body odor helped link Scottsdale rape suspect Danny Jackson to crimes
SCOTTSDALE, AZ - A Scottsdale police report released Tuesday shows officers made contact with an accused rapist and his family more than a week before the suspect was taken into custody.
According to the police report, Scottsdale Officer Keith English visited Danny Jackson's home on October 24.
The 16-year-old was later accused of committing a sexual assault earlier that evening , near Shea Boulevard and Scottsdale Road. He was also later accused of committing a nearby sex assault on October 18.
The officer said he had received a police radio notification indicating a sex assault had occurred in the area. The police notification included a brief physical description of the suspect, so the officer made the decision to visit the Jackson household.
"Based upon my experience with, the similarities of the descriptions and numerous contacts with a family (Jackson)…I went to that location to establish contact with two members of the family (redacted name) and Danny Jackson," Officer Keith English wrote in his report.
Scottsdale Police would not confirm the identity of the redacted name in the report or how that person was related to Danny Jackson.
English detained him for questioning.
A second officer, Adam Senetra, transported a witness to the Verona Condominiums, where Jackson lived, to identify the person English had detained.
"She was seated in the rear seat of my patrol vehicle. The parking lot was illuminated by lights on the covered parking. I also utilized my alley lights as we approached the subject," a report indicated.
The witness "asked if (the officers) could have the subject stand and remove his shirt which he did," the report said. The witness then told the officers she did not believe the suspect they had in custody was the person who committed the assault.
"She stated the suspect was more muscular and had shorter shorts on," the report said.
According to Scottsdale police spokesperson, Sgt. Mark Clark, police eventually learned through a tip that Jackson could be a potential suspect. Officers started conducting surveillance on the teen.
They arrested him on November 1, after securing search warrants for his residence and locker at school.
Police reported watching Jackson get into a vehicle near his housing complex before they pulled over the car to arrest him.
At the time of the arrest, police also questioned the driver of the vehicle, whose name was redacted from the report.
"I asked (redacted name) if Jackson had mentioned anything to him at all in regard to what has been going on in the neighborhood recently regarding the rapes. (Redacted name) said that last Wednesday he and Jackson were at the complex when an officer was patrolling and stopped them and made sure that (sic) didn't have any warrants."
On November 2, detectives learned Jackson's DNA matched the DNA collected at the two recent sex assault crime scenes in Scottsdale.
Throughout the hundreds of pages of police records, there are several mentions of Jackson's body odor.
In one report, "the suspect was described as wearing basketball shorts, was sweaty and had a body odor."
When police arrested Jackson, a few officers noted the strong body odor as a trait linking him to the suspect description.
"I noticed a very pungent body odor coming from Jackson," one officer wrote. "This body odor was also something that both sexual assault victims had said that the perpetrator had."

Spring break on the campus of Fairfield University offers a multitude of experiences for students. High on the list of destinations are the annual "Alternative Spring Break Experiences" offered through the University's Campus Ministry Program. This year students chose from the Rural Renewal (Christian Appalachian Project) in Kentucky, Urban Plunge in Washington, D.C.,The Parks Project in Virginia and the Native American Mission in Maine, and for the first time an immersion trip to Belize in Central America.
Students in several service learning courses also traveled domestically and internationally. Peace and Justice Studies students worked in New Orleans, the School of Nursing took Public Health students to Nicarauga, and students in the JUHAN leadership program traveled to Joplin, Missouri.
At the same time, a group of 120 members of the Fairfield Glee Club spent their break performing in Italy. During the 9 day tour, the group sang at a late afternoon mass at the Vatican. While in Rome, they enjoyed a guided sightseeing tour of Vatican City including a visit to the Vatican Museums; the breathtaking Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. The group also traveled to Naples and while there, performed in the small town of Possillipo at a Jesuit Seminary. Their final performance was in Piano de Sorrento at a middle school known for its outstanding music program.
Established in 1947, the Glee Club is the oldest and largest student group on campus with 120 members this year. Delighting the Fairfield community as well as audiences around the world for 65 years, the Glee Club is a Fairfield tradition and point of pride for many alumni, current students, and fans. This year, all will be welcome to reminisce at the 65th Glee Club Anniversary celebration on April 21, 2012, when they will be performing the Father Murray/Simon Harak Memorial Concert at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts on campus.

If you could only bring one food on a deserted island, what would it be? Tough question. Especially because one food would get pretty boring so it would need to have LOTS of ways to eat it. Plus, it would need to be "nutrient dense" which means it contains lots of vitamins and minerals to keep us alive.
I was asked this question once on a LIVE radio interview without any pre-warning. But I honestly didn't need to think long as the food AVOCADO quickly rolled off my tongue. Yep, I love avocados. With thousands of ways to use them, I know I'm not alone. What's a party without guacamole after all? Or a turkey sandwich or tortilla soup without those yummy green slices? They taste great and make every else taste great, too.
And kind of like a friend with benefits, avocados contribute 20 vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients to our diet and are also virtually the only fruit with monounsaturated fat which is great for those on a health conscious diet. Plus, at only 50 calories per one ounce serving, avocados act as a "nutrient booster" by helping the body to better absorb fat soluble vitamins, such as alpha- and beta- carotene and lutein, from other foods like tomatoes. Need I say more? Ok, I'm drooling thinking about my fresh Chicken Avocado Soup or sliced avocado on this easy and delicious Taco Soup.
Growing up in California I had access to many different avocado varieties grown in backyard orchards around my house. But I love the Hass variety the best. Luckily, Hass avocados can be found year around in all stores across the country, not only are they easy to peel but when ripe they have a rich buttery flavor makes a great substitute instead of mayo on sandwiches or as replacement for butter in baked goods. Have you ever tried replacing butter for avocado in baked goods?
Check out LOVEONETODAY.com for incredible recipes and food tips. And if you haven't tried our Chiptole Copycat guacamole yet, don't wait any longer, click here for our popular guacamole recipe .
So what one food would you bring on a desert island? Hopefully, one with amazing benefits….
Although I did receive financial compensation for writing this post, all views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely and entirely my own and based on my own unique experiences. For more nutrition information on avocados , please be sure to visit the LoveOneToday.com website.

No samples visible ?
wow, my canon sx120 shoots better pictures and my asus tablet shoots better video
Missing options for RAW and 1080p60 video is annoying.. though I thought the video quality was quite good.
The lens quality and stabilisation is excellent.
ISO 100 is a bad joke, all other is a disaster. I don't know a smartphone with so bad image quality. 30x Zoom, f2.8 and a sensor with 1/1,7" would be perfect for a bridge cam.
Yes, I would certainly be very interested in that.
And if PanaCanikon are listening, make sure it has a good quality EVF, raw, hot shoe, 1080p60 video and able to do tele-macro.
First off the images shown are shot by a person that does not understand the features of the camera. I have a Nikon P500 and learned every aspect of shooting with it thru trial and error.
Using zoom Program mode is paramount and a tripod a must. My pictures up to 8x10 rival DSLR quality and some of my diehard DSLR friends amazed. The images represented here are terrible. Check out Flickr images taken with the P series camera and be amazed yourself.
I never trust the sample images , so I decided to go for it, but really this camera is a step back when compared to the Nikon P520, it may be a little bit faster , but the sensor shows more noise, the lens are not as sharp and the LCD is smaller.
It may take a 52 mm filter but it is too small and there's some vignetting, much worst when using a polarizer.
Noise reduction must be set to high and that degrades image qualtiy, the P520 makes better images with a normal setting, also sharpnesss can't be set to the highest level, and that setting can be used in the P520.
It's not a bad camera and can produce some nice images, the night shot without tripod is quite good, but the P520 can do that too and if you wan't to use P mode and shoot handheld at speeds like 1/10 or even 1/5 to keep low ISO the VR does the job in getting a sharp image. VR also seems to be better on the P520.
So what's left for the P600 ? The extra 440 mm, the P520 digtal zoom is excelent and in my tests on bright subjects the P600 may have some advantage after some sharpness applied, but not really .
Ther's a new manual focus that enhances the area in focus, I use manual focus a lot in my macros with the Raynox 250 , thought that this feature could compesate for the smaller LCD but no , it's not really practical and only works with subjects that are clearly and well separetd from each other, the Bigger P520 LCD allows me to see what's in focus and so I can easily get bug's eyes sharply detailed.
Moon and bird modes adds nothing for anyone who knows photography .
The P520 problem is somewhat slow operation and shutter delay, but the P600 also shows that, it's not a super fast camera like Nikon advetises.
After spending US$500,00 on this camera my recommendation is , get the P520 while they still are around, it's not perfect, but image quality is outstanding, something thtat this new Nikon
I have a Nikon P600. I am not satisfied with the sharpness of my photographs. I get sharper pictures with my Soney HD20. Please advise.
When you complain about the sharpness of your photos is it in program zoom auto ??? Are you using a tripod on low light shots or when using long zoom? I shoot on auto most of the time in good light and P mode for zoom shots. I sharpen the images in Picasa from Google and the images come out great. I have a Canon Pro 100 and the pop on my images can't be better. Use a tripod and try P mode. Take several shots from the different modes and write down each shot to examine afterwards. Shooting in the am and late afternoon is best outdoors.
