February Printing Shipments Down, and Not Just Because It's a Short Month
By Dr. Joe Webb on April 3rd, 2014
February 2014 US commercial printing shipments were $5.73 billion, down -$292 million (-4.8%) compared to 2013. On an inflation-adjusted basis, they were down -$349 million (-5.7%). January 2014 shipments were revised up slightly, by +$13 million. Together, January and February shipments were $11.84 billion, -5.1% on a current dollar basis, and -6.2% on an inflation adjusted basis, compared to 2013.
February is a short month, of course, but that does not change the fact that it was the worst month since January 1992.
Of the 10 lowest shipment months since 1992, four are Februarys and four are Januarys. That is the seasonal nature of the business, not just the number of sales days. For much of the past 20 years, and probably before, Januarys and Februarys were slow, followed by a strong surge in March. Corporations on calendar fiscal years armed with fresh budgets started projects with their agencies and designers at the beginning of the year. By the time the end of February came around, those projects were ready to print. Also, printing by retailers would begin again as they got out of their post-holiday lull and began their Spring promotions. This volume pattern has dissipated in recent years. There's no March surge. The biggest month is now May, as strange as those data from the Commerce Department seem. (May's not really a surge, its shipment levels have just declined at a slower rate than other months).
As recent as February 2009, near the depth of the recession, the industry was still able to produce $6.67 billion in current dollars. This latest report was more than $900 billion less than that level (-14%), or -$1.63 billion on an inflation-adjusted basis (-22%). Interestingly, the second worst month since 1992 is January 1992, when shipments were $5.93 billion. In inflation-adjusted terms, January 1992's shipments are the equivalent of $10.12 billion in today's dollars. For the last six months, the monthly comparison to the prior year has been -5.2% and -6.3% adjusted for inflation. This has been of great concern.
Privately, I have been advising clients that 2014 will have significant downward pressures on printing shipments that will stress marginal companies, and apply new management pressures to the well-run ones.
There has been a major shift in B2B communications practice supported by numerous technology trends that are playing out this year. It's a nearly perfect storm of downside negative factors that need to be navigated. All of the downside factors should not be resisted, but become part of print business strategies. You need good planning and a good team to do that. Troubled companies will be faced with difficult choices among bad options. Since last year, I have been concerned that some printers are looking to aggressively consolidate as a means of saving their businesses. There are also companies that are hunkering down thinking that things will get better if they cut costs and wait it out. One has to wonder whether the forward value of any current book of business is meaningful or reliable. Waiting it out only makes the cost disparities and benefits of digital media comparatively greater.
It's time to change focus and discard much of the common wisdom that once served us well but no longer applies.
At the PICA event in Charlotte at the end of April, I will be discussing critical opportunities for print businesses and their owners in this environment.

SANTA FE - New Mexico's lawmakers are returning to work and will hear from Republican Gov. Susana Martinez on the opening day of the 60-day session. The Legislature convenes at noon Tuesday.
The governor will deliver her state of the state address to a joint session of the House and Senate. Martinez plans to outline her legislative agenda, which includes a reduction in the corporate tax rate, early childhood reading initiatives as well as several proposals that the Democratic-controlled Legislature has rejected in the past.
Martinez is renewing her effort to stop the state from granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants - a proposal that's stalled in the Legislature since the governor took office in 2011.
The House and Senate also will elect new leaders on the session's opening day.

Stretch factor of Thanaz 8CA?
I'm wearing 8IE (perfect fit, in my opinion ) and 8SV (bit tight) in 32/34. 8CA also in 32/34?
8CA runs tight, and don't stretch much
How does Viker R-Box 8F5 run? Maybe Dunlauh can help here...
And they run long, correct? I'm usually 31W 34L but in this case 32L will work...
Can't find them at store in Genova, recently can't find anything in such store indeed
Sorry first question is about waist, i have missed to write that
I only have two Viker so I'm not sure I can help that much. Compared to Viker 8ZT, they're much looser in the waist. Both are 28 but 8F5 fits like a 29. If I compared them with my Zathans in 28, they're also looser... so I reckon you should size down.
As for length, they're the same as 8ZT. I always wear a 30 leg, in Zathan also, and haven't noticed that these are any longer.
Thanks Dun really appreciate your quick and detailed support
Which size for Thanaz 70K? I'm wearing 8SV and 8IE in size 32/34. 70K in size 32/34 or 33/34?
if i wear safado for W32 what size should i wear for timmen?
So, i've got a pair of Zaf 796's size 28x32, and i'd like to get some more zaf's. Any idea if there is a difference in size between (zaf) 796, 8iw, and 772? Do they fit any different?
i think you should be same size in both
i dont know about those washes (dont remember what i tried on) but of all the zafs i tried on i was a 32 in all of them.
anyone know the sizing on 8C0 and 8D8 . particularly zatiny. is the 8D8 sort of stiff as well?
I wear size 33 for viker 88z. Was considering getting viker-r-box 8ym but I can't try them on in person so I was wondering what size I should get them in. Thanks
if the wash says stretch does that means i can size down one?
Yeah it usually means you should
Yeah it usually means you should
hi guys,
i'm new here and hope you can help me. I'm about to buy my first Diesel Jeans a thanaz 8L4. I'm about 6.04 ftshould I go with the 33x32 (like all my levi's) or better with 33x34. Unfortunatly I have to buy them online, so I can't try them.
Thanks in advance!
Hope this isn't too late, but...
I have both of those and I think the 8YM fits slightly tighter than the 88Z. I have a 30 in both of these and the 8YM was much tighter at first but stretched and is as comfortable as the 88Z so I'd go with 33 even though it might be a little tighter initially.
Hi, how does thanaz 8b9, 8b2 and 8s9 run? anybody? thx
Hey can anyone let me know how the 8UP wash fits in general? It's in reference to a viker, but I would assume that anyone's experience with this 8UP wash regardless of the cut will really help! Thanks!
8UP runs small, so size up.

Poetry in Motion
I've always been fascinated by the leap from consumer product to cultural icon — when and how this happens and, of course, when you notice it. Maybe it's the first time you hear someone use Tivo as a verb. Or the first time you hear someone pronounce Target "Tar-zjay," as if it were a tasty French cheese. I think another sign is when a product works its way into art, the way Andy Warhol and Campbell Soup are forever linked.
I came across another good example in this week's New Yorker. David Friend wrote a clever back page poem called Thirteen Ways of Looking at a BlackBerry. I don't even own one of these devices and yet each stanza resonated. Here's No. 13:
What best fills
And quenches
The silence?
The BlackBerry
Or the BlackBerry
Which products do you think are on the verge of becoming the next cultural icons? Are you doing anything to nudge them in that direction?

iPod is already one and will become only more so as Apple ingeniously surrounds it more and more with your life's content... iPhoto as of last week... then video... then communication
Even if consumers can buy something for half the price and twice the memory why would they when their whole life is seemlessly integratedinto an iPod???

Battle Creek Central High School Reviews
I went to Central starting in 2001, and graduated in 2004. My GPA was nothing special, mostly because I was lazy and had aspirations I thought were more important than education.
Most of the teachers that I had were really good or the best, and some of them still teach there now. While attending the school, I think people placed too much importance on the school's athletics programs. Especially the teachers who were also coaches. It was always frustrating to see athletics promoted and funded at the expense of the arts/music/language programs.
The school had a reputation among the other high schools' students of being really dangerous; everyone has knives and guns, and there are gangs and fights every day that turn into riots. It's laughable really. There was the occasional fight, but it was usually two girls fighting about a boy or something. I never felt that my safety was threatened while attending Central. I'm sure there were gang members in the school, but none of them ever bothered or threatened me personally, nor did they bother anyone that I knew personally.
Putting in the metal detectors (after I graduated) was a knee-jerk reaction to some Amish school shooting; not to anything that was happening in the school. My niece graduated from there two years ago, and according to her, nothing's really changed. Her younger sister starts there next year, and I'm not worried.
this school is only fit for those parents who want their children to be come an underachiever or are to poor to ship them to another school good news is if it keeps going this way eventually students will be shipped to schools who provide a good education because Michigan has a law where if the test scores in a school are not high enough it gets shut down but as for getting better id say that was a hell freezing over, including a whole book shelf of fairy tales that actually come true,wow now that would be awesome so it must be to good to be true crime is mid-high around the school and many students are involved in gangs avoid this school no matter what.

An independent Scotland would have to do a lot of negotiating – but not 14,000 treaties' worth
Much as it would pain many of us living south of Gretna Green to see Scotland leave the UK, it really does not help the case for the union if the government tries to undermine the SNP by talking bollocks.
That is what they did when Michael Moore, the Scottish Secretary, put out a statement last month claiming that an independent Scotland would have to renegotiate 14,000 treaties to which the UK is a party.
It is true that the Scots would have to do some serious negotiating. Recently, the Latvian foreign minister, Edgars Rinkevics, became the latest European leader to warn that an independent Scotland would have to apply for EU membership as a 'new country'. His views matter because it will be Latvia's turn to hold the EU presidency during the Scottish referendum.
But 14,000 treaties? That has prompted an avalanche of written questions to the Foreign Office from SNP politicians, inquiring about the up to date status of some of the treaties on that long list. Has the FCO checked that the UK is discharging its obligations under the Declaration between Great Britain and Prussia relative to Commerce and Navigation between the Ionian Islands and the States of the Zollverein, for example? And have there been any recent breaches of the Agreement between Great Britain and His Majesty King Leopold II, Sovereign of the Independent State of the Congo, relating to their agreed spheres of interest in East and central Africa?
David Lidington, the Foreign Office minister, has been compelled to admit that "some of the 14,000 treaties are no longer in force." On the other, thousands still are.
Much interest yesterday in the identity of the journalist who once tried it on with The Financial Times columnist, Lucy Kellaway. At a time when he keep reading of "inappropriate" sexual advances, Ms Kellaway has branched out by calling her would-be seducer the "appropriate face of inappropriate conduct" because he asked politely and took no for an answer gracefully. What we know about him, from the article, is that he was a fairly senior journalist on the Financial Times in 1985 and still has "considerable access" to the mass media, which narrows it down a bit.
Every time MPs end their day's work and the Commons chamber closes for business, two doorkeepers, one stationed behind the Speaker's Chair and the other in the Member's Lobby, cry out simultaneously: "Who goes home?"
This custom arises from a previous century, when there was a real danger of MPs being mugged in the unlit fields between Westminster and the City. It is an invitation to them to band together for protection.
David Winnick, one of Parliament's longest serving MPs, thinks it a ridiculous custom and has written to the Leader of the House, Andrew Lansley, suggesting that it be ended. Lansley fobbed him off by telling him to write to the chairman of the Procedure Committee, Charles Walker.
"I probably will, but I don't have much hope that anything will be done," Winnick tells me. "The chairman of the Procedure Committee is usually a rather conservative figure or if he's a moderniser, like the present chap, he takes the attitude 'why bother about something that is not causing any controversy?'

"The Craft" – The Stinson CompanyWednesday, January 11th, 2012
There are very few jobs where I feel as proud of as I do this one. One of my very best friends, Jesse Isenberg, owner and head craftsman at The Stinson Company, launched his new brand and website today and I had the honor of directing and shooting his video with our Check The Gate Films team.
The inspiration for this film was to offer a glimpse into what takes place behind the scenes at Stinson, highlighting an emphasis on authentic, hand-crafted elements fused with the most innovative technology and equipment. The film was shot over the course of one evening, using a single incandescent clamp light ($8) we bought at The Home Depot.

|Radioactive iodine for hyperthyroidism in children and adolescents: referral rate and response to treatment.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19250263 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Objectives Radioactive iodine ((131) I) therapy is increasingly viewed as a safe and effective treatment for paediatric and adolescent hyperthyroidism. Our objective was to estimate treatment response and its predictors and describe current referral practices for (131) I therapy. Design Retrospective study. Patients One hundred and thirty-one children 30 days-21 years old with laboratory evidence of hyperthyroidism, seen in an academic paediatric and adolescent endocrinology practice. Measurements Rate of referral, indications for (131) I, predictors of poor treatment response. Results Thirty-eight of 102 patients with persistent hyperthyroidism (37%) received (131) I (160 μCi/g thyroid tissue/(131) I uptake), as did an additional 10 patients initially evaluated by adult thyroidologists. Primary indications were intolerance to (29%) or poor control on (19%) antithyroid drugs, patient preference (50%) and unknown (2%). Of 48 patients treated with (131) I, 89% and 11% became hypothyroid after one and two (131) I doses, respectively. The goal of (131) I therapy was attainment of hypothyroidism. 'Poor treatment response' (seen in 27%) was defined as requirement for a second (131) I dose or failure to achieve hypothyroidism after 6 months. Predictors of poor treatment response included: previous use of antithyroid drugs (37%vs. 0%, P = 0·02), ophthalmopathy (58%vs. 8%, P = 0·002), and an interval of ≥12 months from diagnosis to (131) I (50%vs. 10%, P = 0·003). A very elevated free T4 tended to be more prevalent in those with poor response. Conclusions In children and adolescents with hyperthyroidism, high rates of success after (131) I are achievable. Use of antithyroid drugs, pre-existing eye disease and prolonged time to (131) I may confer relative resistance to (131) I.

Concrete mixing procedure for design-build deck projects: how to prepare concrete for deck footings & piers. This article tells how to mix your own concrete or how & when to decide to order a concrete delivery when building a deck, porch, or exterior stairs.
We describe mixing small amounts of concrete by hand, using power concrete mixers, and also using a power post or pier hold digger. The article includes advice when ordering concrete to be delivered to your deck project. This article series describes construction details for decks and porches.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
Deck Footing & Pier Concrete Preparation
One of the major decisions you need to make early on is whether or not to mix your own concrete. The choice is largely dependent on the number and depth of piers and footings you need, as well as your budget and available time.
If you are not sure how to proceed, consider mixing the concrete yourself for one pier and footing, then decide if you can handle the effort for the others. Concrete can irritate your eyes, lungs, and skin, so it's best to wear gloves, long sleeves and long pants, a dust mask, and eye protection when you work with it.
Watch out: Keep in mind that as soon as you add water to the dry mix, the clock starts ticking.
Have tools, materials, and helpers in place ahead of time, and mix concrete in batches small enough to finish your work before the concrete starts hardening (about 90 minutes in cool weather, 45 minutes—or less—in warm weather). If you use a power mixer, read the instructions before you turn it on.
How Much Concrete Do I Need per Form Tube?
Before buying bags of ready-mix concrete (just add water), or raw materials (portland cement, sand, gravel), or deciding to buy your concrete from a delivery truck, it makes sense to figure how much total concrete you need to fill all of your footing and pier forms.
You could calculate the cubic feet of concrete needed by using simple math for which we give detailed examples at STATIC HEAD. You just need the diameter of your form tubes and the length (or height) to which you're going to pour concrete.
But Sonotube® as well as other concrete form manufacturers kindly do the math for us as we show in the following table.[6][7]
Concrete buying tip: order enough, including allowing for a small wastage, but do not over-buy your concrete unless you have another place to use it. Dumping excess concrete out on to your yard and letting it harden is just the first step in disposal. You'll need to break up and dispose of any excess properly.
Mixing concrete by hand
Concrete is a mix of Portland cement, sand, gravel, and water. Fortunately, you can buy pre- mixed bags of the dry ingredients and add your own water. One 80-pound bag should yield about 0.6 cubic feet of mixed concrete. You will need a plastic mortar tub or wheelbarrow, a mortar hoe (a shovel or garden hoe can also be used), and a source of water.
When you mix concrete, measure out the amount of water specified on the bag, but pour in only about 90 percent of it at first, then add small amounts as described below. Avoid adding too much water. If the mixture becomes runny, with small pools of water forming on the surface, you will need to add another full bag of dry ingredients and more water.
Empty a small bag of dry, premixed concrete into your mortar into your mortar tub. If you try to use only a partial bag, you may not pour out the properly balance mixture or ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients together, and then pour about 90% of the suggested amount of water into a small or crater in the middle. Pull dry ingredients into the water with the hoe, and mix carefully.
As you mix the concrete, add small amounts of water at a time, and mix each addition in thoroughly before adding more. When you can form a small pile of concrete that holds its shape, the mixture is ready to use. Be careful not to add too much water; if you do, the mix will look wet, with pools forming on the surface. Adding a partial bag of dry mix to fix the problem is not recommended because the proportion may not be right.
Power hole diggers
Power augers can remove dirt much faster than manual diggers. But that does not mean that they make the job easy.
Check local rental stores to see what kinds of tools they carry, and choose an auger bit that matches the width of hole you want to dig. Make sure to wear ear and eye protection when working with a power auger of any type. Two-person power augers like are quite common. They are best used by two relatively strong people who can maintain a firm grip on the handles at all times.
If you are working alone, a flexible-shaft auger is a good choice. It has an engine separated from the auger, rather than sitting on top of it, which makes it lighter and easier to handle. You may need a trailer hitch to tow one of these tools home. A more powerful one-person auger features an engine mounted on top of the auger; in this case, the operator stands on a small platform at the rear of the device.
This tool must be anchored to the ground with chains and spikes. Be sure to get thorough instructions for any rental tool before you try to operate it. Alternatively, you may prefer to hire someone with an auger mounted on a truck, tractor, or skid-steer loader.
A rented electric or gas-powered mixer can be used with premixed concrete, but you may find it more economical (if a bit more complicated) to mix your own dry ingredients. Use a shovel to mix one part Portland cement, two parts sand, and three parts coarse gravel, and then slowly add water until you achieve the right consistency. Turn off the power whenever you check the mixture. Some power mixers can be emptied right into the hole.
If you need a large amount of concrete, your best option is to have it delivered in a commercial truck. Concrete is ordered in cubic yards (a cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet), so you will have to calculate how much you need very carefully before ordering.
Tell the supplier you are using the concrete for deck footings. When the truck arrives, you should have a couple of helpers ready to go to work immediately. You will probably need to unload concrete into wheelbarrows, which need to be emptied quickly into holes and refilled.
If you keep the truck waiting, you may incur extra charges and the concrete may harden.
To determine the amount of concrete in each footing and pier (or for any cylinder), first use the following formula: radius 2 x inches of depth x 3.14 = cubic inches. Then convert cubic inches to cubic feet.

Trib HS Insider Q&A: Belle Vernon's Dorian Johnson
TribLIVE Sports Videos
When the high school football season started, 6-foot-6 Dorian Johnson weighed a hefty 290 pounds.
With the start of WPIAL playoffs approaching, he's down to 270.
"A lot of water, I guess," said the Belle Vernon senior offensive tackle, who was committed to Penn State but backed out in September following the sanctions levied against the storied Nittany Lions program.
No matter his size, Johnson has been rated a four-star recruit and the 23rd-best offensive tackle prospect in the Class of 2013, according to Rivals.com. Pitt, Ohio State and Virginia Tech are his main targets, now that Penn State isn't an option.
"It's going pretty good," said Johnson, who recovered a fumble for a touchdown during a 35-0 victory over Albert Gallatin last Friday in the regular-season finale. "It hasn't been as hectic as it was in the summer, now that we've been in the season. I've been talking to their coaches every week."
Johnson and Belle Vernon (4-5) open the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs Friday at No. 6 Central Valley (7-2), which was upset in its regular-season finale last week by Beaver Falls.
Q: A touchdown for you last week. Is that a lineman's dream?
A: Oh, yes. Ever since my freshman year, it's been a dream to score a touchdown. It was one of my goals. I remember seeing the ball in the end zone. It was a fumble. I ran after it, and I jumped on it. I didn't think I was in the end zone, but I looked up and the referee had his hands up. All I remember after that is my teammates getting excited. I didn't know what to do.
Q: How good does it feel for you guys to have fought your way back into playoff contention late in the season after a slow start and some injuries early on?
A: It definitely feels good. We faced some adversity. It feels good to know we had a shot at it. It's a new season now.
Q: How special would it be for this team to get past the first round of the WPIAL playoffs? After all, Belle Vernon hasn't done that since 2000 (lost in semifinals).
A: It would be a good accomplishment for the seniors to bring that back to Belle Vernon. It would be pretty cool.
Q: Who's been the biggest influence in your life?
A: It was definitely my pap. He passed away two years ago. One thing he said that made an impact on me was when I was 5 years old. It was my first year of playing football. I thought it was too hard and I wanted to quit. He made me go back the next day. That stuck with me.
Q: What advice would you give to young football players?
A: I would just tell them to enjoy every minute you have with it because time really flies by.

COLUMBUS (AP) -- Ohio troopers have seized hundreds of prescription painkillers and other drugs worth about $35,000 in three highway traffic stops over a 14-hour period.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Oxycontin, Percocet and Xanax tablets were seized Thursday evening on U.S. 23 in Ross County.
The patrol says more than 1,000 Hydrocodone tablets were seized about an hour later on Interstate 75 in Wood County. The patrol said Xanax, Suboxone and Morphine Sulfate tablets were seized in a third stop early Friday on I-75 in Hancock County.
Drug overdose deaths spurred by painkiller addiction are now the leading cause of accidental death in Ohio, surpassing car wrecks.

Annamarie Hayes-Eggert (CAS '47, GRS '48, SED '78) wanted to make a gift to a program that embodied her love of nature. Establishing a charitable gift annuity allowed her to support such a program at CAS that brings students to the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Ecuador.
Charitable Gift Annuity
After retiring, Dr. Roberta Apfel, (MED'62, MED'62) realized "A charitable gift annuity seemed like a win-win situation. We could give a gift and still receive some additional income." Dr. Apfel's charitable gift annuity will eventually support new housing for medical students.
Charitable Gift Annuity
Dr. Burton Golub (MED '65) hopes to help future medical students join him in his noble profession by teaching and supporting financial aid at BUSM through establishing a charitable gift annuity. "I was grateful for the kind of generosity and education that I received."
Charitable Gift Annuity

Charitable Gift Annuity
Margaret J. Early (PAL'45, GRS'48, SED'54) was passionate about teaching and devoted her life to advancing the field of literacy education. Though her will, Margaret generously arranged for $50,000 to be transferred every year from a trust to BU to fund the Margaret and John Early Scholarship at the School of Education.
Lara Vincent (CAS'95) was an ambitious, imaginative spirit. Her early tragic death prompted the founding of an undergraduate scholarship award in her honor. Her parents, Lee and Sue, decided to leave a bequest in their will to will ensure that, even after they are gone, the award will continue and keep Lara's memory alive.
Esther Hopkins (CAS'47) understands the importance of a great education—a value instilled by her parents. When her parents left her their house, she established a charitable gift annuity that will fund awards, made in her parents' names, to members of underrepresented minorities studying science and technology.
Charitable Gift Annuity
Ernestine O'Connell (CAS'43, GRS'46, SED'58) demonstrated her enduring affection for BU in a characteristically dramatic way by providing the largest gift to a scholarship fund in the University's history.

The Build-Out
by Jim Baker
Status Symbol
he $9 million South Los Angeles Animal Shelter that opened in October represents the final piece of a project to upgrade the facilities of the City of Los Angeles Department of Animal Services, funded by a $154 million bond approved by voters in 2000. The bond paid for the renovation of two shelters, the replacement of three, and the addition of two new facilities. In the process, the department went from only 284 kennels to more than 1,000, according to Linda Gordon, who served as the liaison between Los Angeles Animal Services and the city's Bureau of Engineering, which is responsible for delivering capital projects. The new shelter was designed by Rania Alomar of RA-DA, an architecture firm in West Hollywood, to have a retail atmosphere that Gordon likens to an outdoor mall. A main pedestrian walkway is flanked by administrative offices and a community room on one side, and on the other side by a building with large, storefront-style windows, through which visitors can view rooms for bunnies, reptiles, and colony housing for cats. Continuing down the walkway, visitors will see open-air kennels interspersed with trees, greenery, and landscaping that create barriers so that dogs don't look directly at each other. The kennels have radiant heating in the floors, small "cubbies" that dogs can retreat into in inclement weather, and a retractable roof that can be pulled back to let in more sunlight, or extended to block it on hot days. Open-air kennels create a healthier environment for dogs, Gordon says, because the sunlight disinfects pathogens, and noise from barking doesn't reverberate as it would in an enclosed space. The shelter also features a spay/neuter clinic and a full medical suite. There are free-flight aviaries for rescued indigenous birds. The innovative and eye-catching new facility is a powerful symbol that elevates the status of shelter pets in the community, says Brenda Barnette, general manager of Los Angeles Animal Services. It's also a space that was designed to invite the community to gather. "If people want to come by there at lunchtime, and hang out for a little while, and walk around and see the animals, it should be a place that they can do that," she says. "You don't even have to be planning to adopt. You can just come and learn about animals."
The Neighs Have It
Thanks to a $5.3 million gift in 2011 from billionaire media magnate John Malone and his wife Leslie, the Dumb Friends League (DFL) opened its new Harmony Equine Center in June on 168 acres located near Franktown, about 30 minutes from Denver. The facility is designed to house horses, donkeys, and mules who have been impounded by law enforcement due to cruelty and neglect. The economy has increased the plight of unwanted horses, as some owners are no longer able to care for them, a situation worsened by rising hay prices, says Duane Adams, DFL's vice president of field and equine services. "There were more and more horses that needed to be removed in order to prevent suffering, and there was just no place to take them. The rescues we work with were all at capacity," he says. Law enforcement and the state lacked options, so the shelter decided to step up. The result is the impound facility, which can easily house 100 equines—or 200 to 300, if necessary. Much like some shelters, the center is divided into zones designed to prevent disease transmission: New arrivals are taken to a separate intake barn, then proceed to a training barn, and finally an adoption barn. The largest structure on the property is the 44,000-square-foot adoption barn, with 25 stalls and three corrals for multiple equines. The intake barn had to be newly constructed, while the training barn, which features an indoor riding arena and adjoining pastures, had to be gutted and refurbished. The adoption barn, Adams says, was in good shape, and just needed to be cleaned up. Many of the horses who will enter the facility may never have been handled before, so the intake barn had to be equipped with special chutes, so staff could medically treat them. The facility also features a new education center for the public and law enforcement. It's a huge step forward, in terms of the care the shelter can now offer these animals. "We had one horse trailer [before]—that was our equine facility," Adams says, laughing. n

Erik Mongrain – PercusienFa
And I thought John Butler's performance of Ocean was spectacular. Though John Butler's performance brings a bit more emotion in my opinion, Erik Mongrain makes a six-string acoustic guitar sound like anything but. I'm assuming he uses some kind of pickup, but other than that, it's just a standard six string, same as any musically-ambitious 15 year old has in his or her bedroom.
Erik's style is referred to as lap-tapping. He's influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Jean Sebastian Bach. No, not Sebastian Bach of Skid Row, but Jean Sebastian Bach, the Baroque classical composer. Now that I think about it, Erik's sound isn't that far off from a cross between Baroque melodies and heavy rock and alternative rock rhythms.

defranco? hope I spelled that right?Yeah I guess the really cold would work as long as you dont sweat. and I guess that depends on the definition of what is really cold -5F -15F -20F -60. I know at -10F If I was active I still would not want to be wearing cotton(personally). Below that I cant speak from expierence so I couldnt say.
Cotton makes great outerwear for cold winter weather. It makes terrible base layers and insulation layers for cold winter weather.Canvas anoraks are very popular for cold snow camping. The block the wind and snow and breathe well. They won't get wet in very cold conditions. They are similar to soft shells, just older technology. Some people claim that canvas breathes much better than modern winter outwear.Check out the Empire Wool and Canvas Company Arctic Anorak:http://www.empirecanvasworks.com/arcticanorak.htm
Outer layers now there is a concept that I havent thought of. That does look promising! But it would still have to pretty cold for me to wear cotton in the snow. But that is an insight i havent thought of and definately adds to the usefullness of cotton.I'll stick with my FF volant jacket and pants. Probably half the weight for 5 times the price(I cant see that site at my office).I know of a couple companies that make wall tents out of heavy canvas meant to be used in winter but that stuff is seriously heavy duty. So I guess I should have known some one woulod make a jacket for similar use. what about oiled canvas? do you know if that is breathable?
Oiling or waxing canvas really ruins the breathability (the oils and waxes also add a ton of wieght). Anoraks used for cold snow hiking aren't treated with anything. Canvas mukluks/booties are also very popular for cold snow hiking and aren't treated with anything.You can take a canvas anorak (or any heavy cotton jacket) and wax/oil it to make a really good, tough rain jacket that is mostly waterproof. This is what they used for rain gear before the invention of rubberized rain jackets. It will last for years and years of heavy use. But a modern rain jacket is much better and lighter for backpacking.

Well atleast you changed my stand point on cotton to some degree.lets get this thread back on track "I dont get" Ultra light winter back packing. I have to carry so much extra gear to keep warm I just dont really get trying to lighten that up. Nor do I get carrying a back pack. Sleds/pulks are so much easier to drag. You might have to change your path some times or be creative up steep areas but nothing a rope and two people pulling it cant solve. This is just for winter backpacking obviously is your goals are to just summit peaks a sled wont work. Ive done side hill steep up hill and let me tell you I love down hill. I use a split board so I just glide the whole way no energy spent. Maybe some one can shed some light on this for me. What advantages does a backpack have over a sled in deep snow?
>"I dont get" Ultra light winter back packing. I have to carry so much extra gear to keep warm I just dont really get trying to lighten that up.For sure, ultralight winter backpacking means a very different thing than the other 3 seasons. The UL threshold goes up accordingly. That doesn't mean that you can't still strive to watch weight and carry less, without being stupid about it. I can keep my winter base weight to ~15lbs and be good to 0*F. >What advantages does a backpack have over a sled in deep snow?I've never pulled a sled or pulk, so take this FWIW. They may just invite you to carry more stuff because it can hold it. Every pulk I see is laden with pounds and pounds and pounds of stuff. Even in winter, I like to keep my kit as minimal as possible.
Do you carry spare clothes, gloves, ect. I also carry a FF volant down jacket and pants to wear to bed and around camp. Not to mention an expend down mat. I guess I look at it this way in the other three seasons the consequences if your gear fails(ie gets wet) is you will be uncomfortable for a little but in the winter you could easily lose toes, fingers, or even die if you dont have the extra stuff and the difference between 30-40 pounds in a sled is really nothing.... thats also why you always see those things packed down with a ton of gear.

I like this thread I say what I don't get and why and you guys give me a different perspective. Good stuff.Yeah Eric I know you can die in any season but in California its pretty hard to die of hypothermia summer or spring(you'd really have to be trying)....but yes I imagine that places like Greenland you could still get that way in summer easily.Travis-I like the list! and mine does not look too different I carry a couple extra pairs of mits- leather insulated gloves(love these) marmot primaloft expedition mitts and wool gloves(these work really well even when wet I know from experience) I carry a complete extra set of base layers. basically I have atleast one extra of everything except my shells(to expensive to get 2 alpha sv jackets and pants for me any way. oh and the down suit is heavy but the sleeping quilt is like a pound. I love getting up to go pee at night and feeling like I am in a sleeping bag. I also find I don't procrastinate as much in the morning cause I don't really ever have to deal with the cold.....where me and you really start to differ is Im guessing food and shelter. I usually bring two bottles of wine, tender loin cut into steaks in an olive oil salt pepper and garlic marinade, and last time we did a white wine and cheese fondue. I have to carry my snow shoes because I split board. I sleep in an 8 man kifaru tipi with a with a wood stove(heater). I usually have to bring a backpack for day hiking/snowboarding. I think with all that Im usually about 40 lbs maybe a little over. You should see the envy in other peoples eyes when me and my dad fly past them in deep snow breaking trail faster than they can hike in snow shoes(which are really slow when compared to skis) and to come to camp only to find us set up with a fire going in our tipi. with the steak cooking in the fry pan and rice, potatoes or fondue bubbling. The best thing is that we can dry all of our stuff at night so we never have wet stuff (unless something goes really wrong). I've even taken a shower in that thing. We have easily gotten the inside of the tipi to over 70 probably closer to 80 when it was below 20 outside. oh and camera gear that stuff weighs but I get great shots in the winter like my avatar. That's my dad sitting on a dock watching the sun come up over echo lake after trekking through the night.
Edited by needsAbath on 03/14/2013 10:56:22 MDT.
On every trip I have been on since moving to the US the forecast has been about as accurate as peeing blindfolded.I always carry a puffy parka, trousers and a decent sleeping bag in winter, when I was young and handsome I used to carry crap gear and suffered big time
Stephen-- yeah, its an issue here. What you have to do is align yourself with the magnetic declination. It's about 3 degrees northeast of true north. Give me a compass and a good wind, and I'll pee on a nickel from 10 feet away.Josh, sounds like you live like kings while out in the wilds!
Edited by T.L. on 03/14/2013 12:18:12 MDT.
Travis, How ya gonna find that nickle while blindfolded?
Maybe you cheat Travis and peak ;-)
"Maybe you cheat Travis and peak"Some people think Travis peaked a long time ago.....
Alas, 'tis true. Last week was the pinnacle. It's all downhill from here.
Old age pension next mate :-)
The RIGHT sort of cotton makes good parkas for certain conditions. Check out the Ventile brand. Unlike ordinary highly processed cotton, Ventile does not wet out nearly as much. It has a long and noble history - but it is a bit heavy.Cheers
When cotton is waxed or oiled, the wax absorbs into the cotton and takes up most of the physical space. For that reason, waxed cotton absorbs far less water weight when fully submerged in water.Just something I've noticed.
