Copy of an Entomological letter from A. R. Wallace to myself (Fred[eric]k Bates2)
March 2nd. 1858.
My dear Mr Bates.
When I rec[eive]d your very acceptable letter (a month ago) I had just written one to your brother, wh[ich] I thought I could not do better then send to you to forward to him, as I shall thereby be enabled to confine myself solely to the group you are studying & to other matters touched upon in your letter. I had heard from Mr Stevens some time ago that you had begun collecting exotic Geodephaga, but were confining yourself to 1 or 2 illustrations of each genus. I was sure, however, that you would soon find this unsatisfactory. Nature must be studied in detail, & it is the wonderful variety of the species of a group, their complicated relations & their endless modification of form, size and colors, wh[ich] constitute the preeminent charm of the Entomologist's study. It is with the greatest satisfaction too, I hail your accession to the very limited number of collectors of & students of exotic insects, & sincerely [[2]]4 hope you may be sufficiently favored[sic] by good fortune, to enable you to form an extensive collection & to devote the necessary time to is study & ultimately to the preparation of a complete & useful work. Though I cannot but be pleased that you are able to do so, I am certainly surprised to find that you indulge in the expensive luxury of from 3 to 7 specimens of a sp[ecies]. I should have thought that in such a very extensive group you would have found one or, at most, a pair quite sufficient. I fancy very few collectors of exotic insects do more than this, except where they can obtain additional specimens by gift or by exchange. Your remarks on my collection are very interesting to me, especially as I have kept description with many outline figures of my Malacca5 & Sarawak6 Geodeph[ag]a so that with 1 or 2 exceptions, I can recognize & perfectly remember every species you mention.
I will first make a few remarks on your notes. Cic[indel]a elegans is the Megalomma7 id[?] of Westwood8 & I think it quite as well entitled to be separated as the Heptodontas9 wh[ich] last seem to me not to differ from Odontocheila10 [[3]]11. Is no 61 Mac[assa]r certainly C. Vigorsii ? It is certainly singular if so that I should not have found so widely distributed a species before reaching Macassar. Is 60 Mac[assa]r the true C. heros[?] ? & is the true C[icindela] heros. Fab.[?] very rare ? I am inclined to think it is, because the little Therates12 (59 Mac[assa]r) is undoubtedly T[herates] flavilabris Fab. & fasciatus Fab (varieties) & the localities for both are "Pacific Islands" brought home I think by Labillardière13. In my 2nd lot from Macassar I sent plenty of the Therates but did not find C. heros again. I took, however, 5 additional sp[ecies?] of true Cicindela (one very handsome) making 11 sp[ecies] in all, a very large no. for 1 locality.
I fear much I have lost the pretty genus Collyris14. In Macassar was only 1 sp[ecies] & I have never seen it in any of the Islands Eastward. At Macassar I once saw a Tricondyla15 but the villain escaped up a tree & I vainly searched for him for a month afterwards. I shall probably, however meet with him when I visit the N of Celebes where I suspect lots of fine things. The Macassar Collyris seemed to me identical [[4]]16 with 88 Sarawak. The Catadromus you call Boisduvalii is it not the Javanese sp[ecies] & is not the name C[atadromus] tenebrioides ! (yes F. B.) I got but a solitary specimen in my 2nd season at Macassar ! but of the 2 rarest species of Cicindela wh[ich] you have not yet, I have sent several specimens. Many of the insects you mention as desiderata from Malacca & Sarawak are unique in my coll[ection]. Thus I believe 6 out of my 8 spe[ecies] of Orthogonius17 are so. It is the rarest genus I know of. The larger, rare Malacca Therates was taken only at the foot of Mount Ophir18 (5 or 6 specimens) & the pretty small sp[ecies?] was taken only during 10 days collecting on my return to Singapore from Borneo (2 or 3 specimens). It is in the highest degree improbable that I shall ever return to Sing[apore] or Malac[ca] again. Numbers generally run so very small that another visit would not pay expenses. The smaller Tricondyla & Heptadonta from Sarawak were also I think both unique, as probably also 1 or 2 of the Collyris. I wonder you have not noticed what I consider [[5]]19 the gem of my Geodeph[aga] (889 Sar[awak]) a Catascopus20 10 lines long & very broad with a band of rich purple across the elytra21 shading into metallic green. I got only 2 examples 1 of wh[ich] goes to Mr Saunders22 by agreement. Soon after you receive this my 2nd Macassar Coll[ection] ought to arrive & I think it will repay your examination. Some ac[coun]t of it will be in the Zoologist by this time I dare say. I think it may be considered the most remarkable lot of Carabidae ever collected in the tropics in so short a time: almost all in 6 weeks at the beginning of the rains, after a previous 6 weeks of the most terrible dearth of all Coleop[tera]s. I make out ab[ou]t 105 sp[ecies] of Carabidae of wh[ich] 20 are minute things under 2 lines & many under 1 line ! Are not some of these among the smallest Carabidae known ? About 40 are truncatipennes23, of wh[ich] a doz[en] are lovely metallic or col[oure]d sp[ecies] -- 2 or 3 very lovely. There is a very curious little thing allied to Casmonia with swollen th[ora]x & long palpi, probably a new Genus. Let me have your opinion of it. There is plenty of it sent. The greater part of [[6]]24 this Coll:[ection] will probably be new species. I spent hours daily on my knees in wet sand & rotten leaves, hunting the little things & picking up Anthici25 & Pselaphidae26 with the tip of my wetted finger. I shall be very much interested to have your remarks on the Coll[ection]. Tell me if you think any or how many have been sent from Sing[apore] or Sar[awak] or are Known from Java. Whether you think there are any new genera - are the lot of little spotted sp[ecies] allied to our Bembidiida27 ? (365) is a lovely thing, unique, found on foliage ! It is not much use your referring to the Nos here, as I had no time to takes descriptive notes: they are put only for my notes of station & habits. You will often see 2 or 3 sp[ecies] with the same no. this is where they were taken at the same time & place so that one note serves for all. My Arru coll[ection] was very poor in Geodephaga. Nothing remarkable but the Therates labiata & Tricondyla aptera, the 2 oldest Known sp[ecies] but I believe not Common in Collections. I was in doubt if there were 2 sp[ecies] of the [[7]]28 Tricondyla -- one has much redder legs. They are not sexes as I took a pair "in cop" with similar legs. Try try if you can find any any other specific difference. they are found in the same places. In Arru I did not see a Cicindela ! In my small Amboyna Coll[ection] the Geodephaga are very few as I was too much occupied with the fine Longicornes, Curculionidae & Buprestidae to search for the small Coleop[tera]. Now with regard to your request for the "notes of habits" &c. I shall be most willing to comply with it to the same extent, first informing you that I look forward to undertaking on my return to England a "Coleoptera Malayana" to contain descriptions of the Known sp[ecies] of the whole archipelago, with an essay on their Geograph[ica]l distribution, & an ac[count] of the habits of the genera & sp[ecies] from my own observations. Of course therefore I do not wish any part of my notes to be previously published, as this will be a distinctive feature of the work; so little being known of the habits, stations & modes of collecting exotic Coleoptera. [[8]]29 As I have not much more room without making this a double letter I will here tell you a little abt the Cicindelidae only. The true Cicindela vary considerably in habits: some frequent almost exclusively sunny pathways thro' open grounds, or even public roads, such as 41. 42. 43 & 51 Sing[apore] & 61. 62. 64. 65 Mac[assar] -- others are sea-beach insects as the C[icindela] tenuipes & the Baly30[sic] species -- the former singularly agreeing in color with the white sand of Sarawak the latter with the dark Volcanic sand of its habitat.
Others prefer river banks. The 2 Lombock31[sic] sp[ecies] were found always a little way inland on the same coloured dark sand, but I never found them on the sea-beach, so also 63 & 126 Macassar, frequent river banks on sand of a lighter colour of than that of Baly & Lomb[ock], but darker than that of Sarawak, as are the insects. Another n. s. [?] in the last Mac[assa]r lot was found on the soft, slimy mud of salt creeks, with wh[ich] its colour so exactly agrees that it was perfectly invisible except from its shadow ! [[9]]32 Such facts as these puzzled me for a long time, but I have lately worked out a theory wh[ich] accounts for them naturally. The rule however is by no means without exceptions. The bright col[oure]d sp[ecies] are visible enough wherever they are. C[icindela] Heros frequents shady paths in the woods settling on the ground or on the foliage & flying slowly to short distances with a distinct buzzing noise. Another sp[ecies] sent in 2nd Mac[assa]r coll[ection] (313 Mac[assar]) frequents similar situations but flies much quicker, its bright golden buff spots render it very conspicuous, & it emits when captured, a fine rosy odour like the Aromias, wh[ich] I have not observed in any other sp[ecies] of the restricted genus Cicindela. I see I must defer my notes on the other genera to my next letter as I want to say something about other matters.
You appear to consider the state of Entomological literature flourishing & satisfactory: to me it seems quite the contrary. The no of unfinished works & of others with false titles are disgraceful to Science. Dejean's33 "Species Générale" was meant to be finished but is not. Burmeister's34 "Handbook of Entomology" could never have been [[10]]35 meant to be finished on the scale it has begun on -- it has a fake title. "Annulosa Javanica36" contains a part of the Coleop[tera] only. G. R. Gray's37 fraud title of "Entomology of australia" dwindles to the smallest family (Phasmidae38) of the smallest order of insects. Mr Wollaston39 never intends to compete an "Insecta Maderensia", why then sh[oul]d he give it that grand title? There exists not one Completed work on any extensive group of Coleop[tera] pub[lishe]d within the last 20 years, I forgot the Cetoniidae40 (Gory's41 Monog[graph]) but they are all large & showy sp[ecies] & not very numerous.42, except those of one man (M. Lacordaire43). There exists not a Coleopterous fauna of any one tropical district of any one extra-european Country ! And, greatest disgrace of all, there exists not any work on the Coleop[tera] of Europe ! (complete). Is this satisfactory ? Does there exist a satisfactory modern local Coleopterous fauna of any one Country in Europe ? Mulsaut's44 is, I believe, not yet finished. There is I understand one of Hungary but with very brief analytical characters only to the species. What a shame that the Entomologists of Germany & France with such a large proportion of the sp[ecies] at [[11]]45 their doors have not yet produced a "Coleoptera Europae" !! Is there a Catalogue of the Coleop[tera] in any one of the National Museums of Europe, or any hope of one ? If you go to America I want to know any thing of the U. S. Coleop[tera] what have you to guide you but scattered papers in periodicals ? All this is to me very unsatisfactory. Lacordaire's "Genera" deserves all praise, but it would have been much more satisfactory had he kept back the first Vol[ume]s to have pub[lishe]d all together, complete up to a given date. I only hope he may finish it. I trust the plates may be good, but not expensive. I admire those of Mulsaut, I have his Longicornes here. Monographs of Coleop[tera] with col[oure]d plates are luxuries. The Cicindelidae may be done. The Carabidae can not be. In Geodephaga no doubt the Amazon is superior to the E. Archipelago. Yet if the Ega46 collections were entirely left out that superiority would be by no means so apparent, & I believe the richest Islands for Geodephaga are Java & Sumatra, wh[ich] I have not visited. Bowring has a true Carabus from Java ! Again Considering the vast [[12]]47 extent of the Amazon region, its position in the centre of a vast continent, its streams converging from to the Andes for a distance of more than 1000 miles & its excessive productiveness in all departments of nature, & the wonder will be, not that these islands are inferior in one group but that they are not vastly inferior in all. The whole archipelago could be set down in the forest plain of the Amazon. The separate islands could be hidden & lost in it ! Again, I find that in journeys, sickness, time necessarily spent in towns far from forests, I have lost one whole year of out of the 3 ¾ I have been in the East, yet my total species both in Coleop[tera] & in all Insecta compares very favorably with your brother's of a much longer period, & moreover as an experienced & persevering collector of Coleop[tera] he is decidedly my superior.
I think therefore on the whole we may say that the archipelago is very rich, & [illegible word] bear a comparison even with the richest parts of S. America. In the Country between Ega & Peru there is work for 50 collectors for [[13]]48 50 years -- There are hundreds & thousands of Andean Valleys every one of wh:[ich] would bear exploring. Here it is the same with Islands. I could spend 20 years here were life long enough, but feel I cannot stand it away from home & books & collections & comforts, more than 4 or 5. & then I shall have work to do for the rest of my life. What would be the use of accumulating material wh:[ich] one could not have time to work up? I trust your brother may give us a grand & complete work on the Coleoptra of the Amazon Valley, if not all S.[outh] America. My paper is full so I must now conclude with best wihes.
Yours Faithfully | Alfred R Wallace

Hanover Democrat Mike Cryans is going to run again for the District 1 Executive Council seat now held by Wakefield Republican Joe Kenney. Cryans, a longtime Grafton County commissioner, narrowly lost to Kenney in a March 11 special election to succeed the late Ray Burton, a Bath Republican who had held the seat for decades. Turnout was relatively low, and Cryans won 48.5 percent of the vote, falling short of Kenney, a former state senator, by 1,266 votes. "I am running again, I thought I'd

Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin this week reiterated his opposition to the Keystone XL oil pipeline, saying the proposal to carry oil extracted from tar sands in western Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast would contribute to global warming.

Two mainstream New Hampshire Republicans are lining up support from some known quantities in the GOP establishment as they face primary contests this summer. Former defense contractor Walt Havenstein this week released the names of seven sitting state senators — a majority of the 13-member Republican caucus — who have endorsed him in his bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan. Havenstein, the former CEO of BAE Systems, faces a primary against libertarian-leaning Republican strategist Andrew Hemingway of Bristol. But Havenstein's campaign said the state
A second Hillsborough County Republican has said he plans to run for the Newport-area New Hampshire Senate seat long held by state Sen. Bob Odell, R-New London. And a Democrat from Sunapee also acknowledged yesterday she is seriously considering a bid for the District 8 Senate seat. Weare Republican Jerry Little — the former president and executive director of the New Hampshire Bankers Association — said on Wednesday he was encouraged weeks ago by Odell to consider a run if the incumbent retired. Odell, a
Newport-area state Sen. Bob Odell, one of the most influential lawmakers in Concord over the past decade, may be facing a primary challenge from a conservative Republican. The reason: challenger J.P. Marzullo, a former Deering, N.H., selectman who is vice chairman of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, doesn't think Odell is conservative enough. Marzullo, who referred to Odell as a "liberal senator" in his announcement, said he is especially disappointed that Odell and two other top Republican senators supported Medicaid expansion as part of
Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, the emigre from Massachusetts, is drawing most of the media attention and national Republican money in his likely run for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire. But that hasn't stopped former state Sen. Jim Rubens, the Hanover Republican already in the primary, from ramping up his aggressive grassroots campaigning in recent weeks. Rubens, a centrist who has notably opposed both expanded gambling and global warming, last month met with gun rights supporters across the state to highlight his opposition to an
Massachusetts transplant Scott Brown issued a web video on Wednesday highlighting the fact that he and his wife, Gail, are traveling around New Hampshire as he explores a likely bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. The Browns "will be traveling around this great state to introduce ourselves. To ask questions. To speak with everyone, of every background, Republicans, Independents, Democrats alike. And above all, to listen and learn," the former Bay State Republican senator said. Since being a lawmaker from New Hampshire involves
Gov. Peter Shumlin has ordered state flags across Vermont to be lowered next Wednesday through Friday to honor the late Franklin S. Billings Jr., the former Vermont House speaker and chief justice of the state Supreme Court who died Sunday in Woodstock. Billings was a monumental figure in Vermont politics, helping preside over the reapportionment of the House that made Vermont more democratic, and Democratic, even though Billings himself was Republican. The 91-year-old Billings died in the house where he was born and lived all
The two candidates vying to fill the sprawling District 1 Executive Council seat held by the late Ray Burton are targeting voters in the Upper Valley. Former state Sen. Joe Kenney, R-Wakefield, has scheduled a public forum in Claremont on Feb. 27 to discuss why several hospitals — including Valley Regional Hospital, Alice Peck Day, and Cottage Hospital — were excluded from Anthem's exchange network under the Affordable Care Act.

New Hampshire's two Democratic members of the U.S. House, Annie Kuster and Carol Shea-Porter, are going to have to work hard this year to win re-election. This according to a WMUR Granite State Poll by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center released this week that says both incumbents face "serious re-election challenges."

Sometimes the solution is to stuff it.
On your next expedition or weekend backpacking trip, maximize the space in your pack when you use the Granite Gear Round Rock Solid Compression Sack to shrink your sleeping bag or heavy jacket. With a full range of sizes to choose from, you can stuff everything from your base-camp tent to a bulky fleece pullover in one of the assorted color sacks. Put your gear in the lightweight sack, secure the lid, and tighten the slide-lock compression straps for a solid fit that doesn't bulge. Tough nylon lasts a lifetime of abusive outdoor adventures.

I have a Latitude Slumberjack 100% polyester 0 degree sleeping bag. The size is long and its dimensions are 68in by 86 in. Insulation is also slumberloft. I was wondering what size stuff sack would be great for only stuffing this sleeping bag? Thanks!
Aliza Mills, Employee
great stuff sack
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Durable, easy to manipulate the size, and holds my sleeping bag well. I could use a few more for my clothes, etc.
How do I determine which compression bag I need from the liter listing??? The other Granite bags I have have a small tab indicating 'M' or 'L' on them. I need a couple black 'XL' for bed rolls and don't know how many liters an 'XL' would be ?????
Jared Downs, Gearhead
For the other Granite Gear bags you had, do you know what model they are? Unfortunately this bag isn't sized from a S-XL just in liters. Do you know the names and sizes/overall dimensions of the bed rolls you're needing a compression bag for?
Shoot me an email anytime you have questions!

What size compression sack should I use for my Big Agnes Beeler Gulch 5 degree bag? It is a synthetic bag. It also a traditional bag. Not the big Agnes sleep system type of bag with the pad sleeve.
On this page I see a default stuff size for that bag of 21" x 10"
Generally speaking, you should buy a compression bag that matches the default stuff size of your sleeping bag. In this case, that would be a 22L sack.
What size compression bag for a Marmot CWM...
What size compression bag for a Marmot CWM MemBrain 800 Fill Down sleeping bag (Long). I tried a 35L sack but it was a long hard wrestle! Is 50L too much?
While a 45L stuff sack would probably work for you, the 50 in a Granite Gear Round Rock Solid Compression Sack could be great too. The Round Rock Solid sacks have a compressing lid that will allow you to compress the contents down no matter whether it is a tight or loose fit (within reason). The versatility of these bags is their greatest feature, because as long as you are within a decent range, you can use the compression lid to size down the load.
Compression Sack Size for following...
Compression Sack Size for following specs:
MARMOT 20*F Sorcerer
?Sleeping bag shape: Mummy
?Sleeping bag style: Synthetic
?Insulation: Polyester fiber batting
?Temp rating: 11-20 degrees
?Shell material: Polyester
?Lining material: Polyester
?Girth (shoulder/hip/foot): 60/57/39"
?Fits to: 5'6"
?Length: 75"
?Stuff size: 14x8-1/2"
?Weight: 3 lb. 2 oz.
That's a wealth of information, but I'm showing the stuff size for the Sorcerer at 18x8.5", so let's use that to start. That would put you in a 16L Rock Solid. The rule is to get as close to the original stuff size for the bag as possible, then, especially with synthetic fills, consider more compression as a gift. Too small to begin with, and stuffing your bag becomes a constant drag.

Hey Lawrence,
We unfortunately need a little more information than the unrolled dimensions to get a real clue on what size stuff sack you need for your sleeping bag. What we really need to know is the stuff size of your bag. Most likely you are going to want the 9L or 11L bag but that's really going to depend on a lot of factors like whether you bag is down or synthetic. Is your bag a 30 degree bag? Or is it a sub-zero bag? If its down, whats the fill power? If you could let us know the make and model of your bag we could probably narrow that down for you and let you know exactly what compression bag to get.

I am looking for a compression sack for a sleeping I just purchased that I will be taking with me on a trek into the Himalayas this coming fall.
I am not sure what size of a compression sack I would need.
Some information about the sleeping bag I just purchased is as follows:
Packed volume 10.1 L
Length 168 cm
Fill = 575 fill-power duck down + Hyperloft Eco
Does this mean I would need an 11 L Granite Gear Round Rock Solid Compression Sack?
Any information you could share with me would be great. Thanks!
Wayne Christoffersen, Gearhead
Hey Charlene,
The average stuff-sack that comes with most sleeping bags is right in the ballpark of 7 x 17 inches. You could probably get away with going with the 9L compression sack but I think you are probably right, the 11L will probably work best for your bag.
Hey too Charlene,
Rule of thumb: start with the stuff sack size that comes with your bag to get your compression sack sizing. So with a 10.1L, yes, you'll want the 11L Rock Solid. Great comp sacks...a real staple around here. Hope this helps.
Awesome Compression Sack
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
This thing is great! I've had it for a few years ago... use it primarily for compressing my old school Campmor 20º down bag. The XS is perfect for this, getting it down to a package only a bit taller then a Nalgene (is that an international unit yet?), though it is obviously a bit thicker then the Nalgene.
My friends are often blown away when I pull a full sleeping bag out of such a small bag. Super durable as well, I crank it all the way down, and it is yet to show any real signs of wear. Wish it was waterproof, but I guess you can't have everything.
Tough Stuff
So far, this is the sturdiest stuff sack I've been able to find. I hope to get many years of use from it.
the 9L and 11L are 15in and 17in respectively....
the 9L and 11L are 15in and 17in respectively. But how small do they actually compress? What is the size you can get them down too?
That's subjective and depends on what it is you're trying to compress, ie: down, synthetic bag, tent, heavy clothing, wool socks...
Rule of thumb though: if the gear in it cooperates in some perfect world scenario, plan on having a cylindrical wad about 1/3 the size you started with.
What size would be good for the marmot...
What size would be good for the marmot limelight 2p tent (body, footprint, fly)? The packed dimensions of the tent is 7x21, so minus the poles I dont know what size compression sack to use.
The Medium on this one,too. aka 16L, aka the red one on its side in the picture. As much as you might want to go smaller, this one will be less of a fight, and you'll run out of compressabilty on the tent before you run out of strap to compress it with.
was asked to get a 15 lb compression bag....
was asked to get a 15 lb compression bag. Yours are listed as 11L, 16L, etc. Does the L equal Lb? If not, which is closest to 15 Lb. He already has a 20 Lb bag
The L stands for Liters - how much it will hold. You typically want to size bags by volume, not weight. I'd recommend checking the dimensions in the tech specs box (above and on the left of the page) to figure out what size you'd want.
Great sack!
I haven't gotten a chance to "get out" with these sacks but since I got them a few weeks ago, I have stuffed and compressed everything imaginable. They seem very strong and well put together, you can reef of them and not worry about tearing something. All in all, I'll be buying more. I was also able to get my Mountain Hardwear Lightpath 3 (body, fly, footprint) in this thing and squish it down to nothing.
In the picture is the XL with 3 sleeping bags.. Sierra Designs Arrow Rock 30, and 2 SD Big Dog 35's. It took some effort but I think it did a great job.
These are like little miracles. I am traveling with my pack as my luggage on two weeks in Central America and it is amazing HOW much room I have saved with these packs I even have room to spare. Though they are difficult and/or darn near impossible to compress to a 1/3 of the size of their original size, packed, they still compress easily to 1/2 of the size.
Using the GG Compression Sack for my wifes SD Down bag
Does the job
It seems pretty sturdy. I got a 16L to store my 10 year old synthetic bag that is neither light nor small/compressible.
It goes in extremely tight and with compression I thought maybe I would pop the seems but its holding just fine.
Compression in that one only goes down perhaps 1/4 but that obviously depends on the bag.
Id buy one again. Great price, decent product
Densify your body tortilla
This is a must for anyone lookin to pack their sleeping bag in the smallest nook of their pack. I have the M 11L and it's perfect for a 650 down Regular size sleeping bag. I'm naturally tough on gear and after cranking down on these compression straps and pounding this thing into the small voids of my pack, its still beggin for more

Now, i'm not looking to argue about Ricky with any of you, everyone's entitled to an opinion and i'm not particularly bothered if people like him or not, But I am curious as to the reasons.
So if you don't like Ricky, why?
I wouldn't say I don't like him, and I get the feeling that not many people actually dislike the fella... but... at times I think he has been guilty of claiming things are 'for the fans' or motivated by his great love for 'the fans' when they...well... have been for him and not the fans.
Such as moving a fight from easily accessible and cheaper Madison to LV one time. to say "thanks" to the fans was the rationale given. Thanks?! Stop ****ing thanking me!
For me at least it took the edge off my enthusiasm for him a bit. I just have a threshold for people jabbering on about their fanbase the whole time and suspect other people do as well. It just gets a bit tedious after a while.

1Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. 2But he answered them, "You see all of these things, don't you? Most certainly I tell you, there will not be left here one stone on another, that will not be thrown down."
3As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? What is the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"
4Jesus answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray. 5For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you aren't troubled, for all this must happen, but the end is not yet. 7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, plagues, and earthquakes in various places. 8But all these things are the beginning of birth pains. 9Then they will deliver you up to oppression, and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name's sake. 10Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. 11Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. 12Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. 13But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved. 14This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
15 "When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, #Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11 which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17Let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house. 18Let him who is in the field not return back to get his clothes. 19But woe to those who are with child and to nursing mothers in those days! 20Pray that your flight will not be in the winter, nor on a Sabbath, 21for then there will be great oppression, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be. 22Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.
23 "Then if any man tells you, 'Behold, here is the Christ,' or, 'There,' don't believe it. 24For there will arise false christs, and false prophets, and they will show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.
25 "Behold, I have told you beforehand. 26If therefore they tell you, 'Behold, he is in the wilderness,' don't go out; 'Behold, he is in the inner rooms,' don't believe it. 27For as the lightning flashes from the east, and is seen even to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28For wherever the carcass is, there is where the vultures #or, eagles gather together. 29But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;#Isaiah 13:10; 34:4 30and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. 31He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
32 "Now from the fig tree learn this parable. When its branch has now become tender, and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near. 33Even so you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34Most certainly I tell you, this generation#The word for "generation" (genea) can also be translated as "race." will not pass away, until all these things are accomplished. 35Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 36But no one knows of that day and hour, not even the angels of heaven,#NU adds "nor the son" but my Father only.
37 "As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ship, 39and they didn't know until the flood came, and took them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 40Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and one will be left; 41two women grinding at the mill, one will be taken and one will be left. 42Watch therefore, for you don't know in what hour your Lord comes. 43But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 44Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you don't expect, the Son of Man will come.
45 "Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has set over his household, to give them their food in due season? 46Blessed is that servant whom his lord finds doing so when he comes. 47Most certainly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has. 48But if that evil servant should say in his heart, 'My lord is delaying his coming,' 49and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with the drunkards, 50the lord of that servant will come in a day when he doesn't expect it, and in an hour when he doesn't know it, 51and will cut him in pieces, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites. There is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.

Motiv8 Holidays give youth leaders the opportunity to bring their young people away on an SU Holiday specifically designed to be suitable for those that come from a more disadvantaged background.
The aim of these holidays is to provide a safe and stimulating environment for young people to explore the Christian faith. In order to do this we ask that referrers send an adult who is known to the young people to be part of the team who lead the holiday
Referrers can also request Motiv8 places at mainstream SU Holidays for those young people they think would fit in to a mainstream holiday. If you are unsure about this then contact us.
All Motiv8 places (at a Motiv8 Holiday or on an SU Holiday) are heavily subsidised, with the cost for each young person being just £60.
You don't need to have had experience of working with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, although that would certainly help! What you do need is a willingness to learn; lots of energy; patience; and a heart to see children and young people from difficult backgrounds meet Jesus!
Motiv8 Holidays are demanding physically, emotionally and spiritually. In recognition of this, Motiv8 Holidays start with a weekend of team training, to get to know each other and get advice on how to work with more challenging young people.
Find out more about volunteering
If you answered yes to the questions above, you may be able to become a Motiv8 Holidays referrer. Contact John Nonhebel to dicuss your situation.

Video Game Tools
Video Games that are used to solve puzzles and pass by (sometimes cardboard) obstacles. These tend to be the treasure of Metroidvania dungeons, but can be seen in all sorts of games. Different than main weapons, Tools will have a specific use only they can do; the hammer in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time can strike foes, but is also the only method for activating rusty switches. Also common is the enemy that is uniquely vulnerable to a certain tool; Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has Space Pirates with shields that can be ripped away with the Grappling Beam. Often the boss of a dungeon will require that dungeon's tool to defeat it, making it a sort of Puzzle Boss, albeit a simple puzzle. Since the acquisition of these tools can be quite pivotal to the overall abilities of the character, one can expect the whole dungeon to be designed around the tools it provides. Wandering around the dungeon trying to do everything can be frustrating so a mandatory tutorial puzzle may be introduced to limit the Trial-and-Error Gameplay to a single room, so the player has some chance to conceptually solve the preceding puzzles without the need to resort to too much Button Mashing. A variant of this occurs in many FPSes with nonviolent options, allowing the player to use multitools and bobby pins to bypass locks and cigarettes to reveal hidden laser traps. The Grappling-Hook Pistol and Precision-Guided Boomerang are popular Video Game Tools. See also When All You Have Is a Hammer for situations where the given tools are the solution for every situation. The Final Exam Boss requires that you use most, if not all, of the tools you have collected up till that point in some combination to defeat it.
- Pretty much guaranteed in any Metroidvania type game.
- Most The Legend of Zelda games will have an item or two whose main purpose is clearly not battle, but which can still be weaponized in some form.
- The Spinner in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is largely a movement tool, allowing you to climb certain walls and boost your speed quickly, but its "burst" move can be used to attack enemies. Even the humble Empty Bottle can be used to reflect certain attacks!
- The Hookshot in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is excellent at this. You can use it to one-hit kill the small Moblins in the annoying Lost Woods hedge maze, and stun the extremely annoying giant Moblin guarding the way to the Forest Temple.
- In Colonization, abstract "Tools" are a valuable resource type, used up by production and Pioneer's jobs.
- In NetHack: key, lock-pick, and credit card to open locks; stethoscope to appraise enemy statistics; bag, waterproof bag and Bag of Holding to store things; tinning kit to make canned food; can of grease to waterproof your armor; pick-axe to dig holes; candles and lamps to dispel darkness; blindfold and towel to blind yourself from light-based attacks; expensive camera to blind foes with its flash.
- In the NES version of Bionic Commando, communicators, flares, even the bionic arm itself are necessary but not used to directly damage your enemies.
- Lock picks, Multitools and Fire Extinguishers in Deus Ex. Further, you also had Rebreathers and Hazmat Suits to overcome obstacles.
- My Sims has tools that you earn when the town's commercial Sims have a sufficient cumulative satisfaction. Said tools generally open up more of the town, both for moving Sims into empty lots and for finding places where Essence types the player had previously not encountered may be harvested. And no, you cannot use the ax you come already equipped with to chop fallen logs. That falls to the saw, which, yes, must be earned.
- The Sims 2: Castaway has a ton of tools that can be made, and are needed to make other tools, clothes, shelter, catch fish, etc. As well, they are often used to cut through the forest, repair bridges, or build boats.
- In the Pokémon games, the Mons themselves will be tools for cutting through small trees and smashing boulders out of the way, and are even usable as a surfboard. Though to be fair, it's more the items used to teach your Pokémon these special moves that would count as the tools.
- Almost every Ratchet & Clank game gives you a bunch of different gadgets to use for clearing specific obstacles. Every main game has the Swingshot (for swinging or pulling yourself to applicable targets), Grindboots (for sliding across rails) and Gravity Boots (for walking along ionized pathways), and each game has extra gadgets of its own
- In Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman has his usual arsenal of bat-gadgets, which can be used for progression, combat and sometimes both (the bat-claw, for example)
- Dwarf Fortress has several. Axe and Pick (Mining skill gets trained a lot) also double as good weapons; others, not so much.
- A central part of Minecraft, although you do make the tools yourself.
- Hack N Slash features an interesting take on this concept with a theme of hacking the game's code, giving you tools such as a magic sword (and later a boomerang) which can change variables and reprogram objects, artifacts that let you edit specific game parameters, and even special bombs that let you literally modify the actual game code that makes up various objects in the game.

Agnes came to my free workshops. She asked questions. I answered them. And showed her a few technical details. She also came to a one day fee based darkroom workshop that one of my former participants had arranded for me in San Franciso. For that she paid $100. It was not a free workshop.
Agnes is interested in photography - no doubt about that. Time will tell if she puts enough time and effort into the medium and develops the sensitivity and the eye to actually produce worthwhile images.
I am interested in all constructive viewpoints, good and bad when it comes to bettering myself and my workshops. For some reasons - and I don't know why - it appears that Aggie is now talking to me or about me in the same fashion she spoke of Steve Anchell and others, who decided not to participate in producing Emulsion magazine. Is there a common thread here? (Not intended as a snide remark or childish game.)

November 28, 2015
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The University of Tennessee has launched a new campaign called "Switch Your Thinking" that aims to reduce campus energy consumption by 10 percent this year.
Students, faculty and staff are being encouraged to save energy and cut utility costs, which are expected to rise $8 million campus-wide this year and $6 million next year.
At UT's College of Social Work, staff and students have been turning off lights and computers when they're not in use, or relying on natural light from the 1930-era building's large windows while working.
The university launched a similar campaign a couple of years ago called "Make Orange Green."
Karen Sowers, dean of the College of Social Work, says in a lot of cases, students are leading the push for energy conservation with administrators following their lead.

María Magdalena tells us that this is the first time she has joined a communal bank within Pro Mujer, and that she was invited to do so by a field worker. Currently she has a general store business, work she has been doing for several years.
The loan she is getting now is to increase her working capital by buying rice, sugar and cooking oil, which she will buy at the traditional markets of El Alto, then later sell at her store. This form of work supports her family in moving foward in life, as she is single, and has four children.
When we asked her what she likes about Pro Mujer, she answers that she likes the health clinic and the savings program.
In the photo we can see María accompanying the group. She is wearing a lead grey sweater, and wanted to participate in the taking of the photo.
La señora María Magdalena cuenta que es la primera vez que integra una Banca Comunal dentro de Pro Mujer y que para esto fue invitada por una promotora; en la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de tienda en general, mismo que trabaja hace varios años.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para aumentar su capital (compra de arroz, azúcar y aceites) los que comprarán de las ferias tradicionales de El Alto y posteriormente lo venderá en su espacio de comercialización. Esta forma de trabajo apoya a salir adelante a su familia pues ella es soltera y tiene cuatro hijos.
Cuando le consultamos que le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella nos respondió que le gusta el área de salud y los ahorros.

Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Miranda Lambert, Aloe Blacc, Jill Scott and the Band Perry are doing a great job on ""The Voice" ." But starting March 31 things are going to kick up a notch.
That's when Coldplay singer Chris Martin will make his American reality show debut as a special universal advisor to all four judges on the singing competition.
According to USA Today the typically camera-shy Martin will appear on three episodes of the show (March 31, April 1 and April 7), where he will counsel Usher, Shakira, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton during the second phase of the Battle Rounds.
"He's such an authentic voice in the industry. We could not be happier," executive producer Mark Burnett said. "There's a massive level of respect from the singers and the surprise from them (when they met him): 'Whoa! Chris Martin. Wow!'"
The announcement was made via Snapchat at the conclusion of Tuesday night's East Coast broadcast following an alert to fans sent out on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
That's not the only shake-up coming to the show. During Martin's run, contestants will for the first time be paired off to perform the same song separately in a sudden-death sing-off. This new Battles: Round Two showdown replaces the old knock-out round that had finalists performing the song of their choice.
Martin, whose band is releasing their new album, Ghost Stories , on May 19, has already recorded his musical sessions with the singer.
It's not Martin's first brush with "The Voice." He was reportedly one of the leading contenders to replace Keith Urban on "The Voice Australia" after Keith Urban left that show to join "American Idol."

I can pick up stuff with my feet , I like to refer to it as a second set of hands.. weird yes but I think its a talent.

Mortar attack kills 8 in Somalia
At least eight civilians have been killed and several others wounded in a mortar attack in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, Press TV reports. The incident took place late on Monday when heavy shelling rocked Mogadishu's government-controlled Hodan district, killing five people, including children from one family, on the spot. Later three others died of injuries sustained during the attack. "Barrage mortars rocked the Soona K area late last night, claiming the lives of at least eight civilians. We don't know where the mortars were coming from but we think they were specifically targeted on the area," Burhan Haji Ismail, a local resident told Press TV. Wounded civilians were shifted to Mogadishu's Medina hospital, according to ambulance workers. No group has claimed responsibility for the mortar attack. Somalia has not had a functioning government since 1991, when warlords overthrew former dictator Mohamed Siad Barre. The weak Western-backed transitional government in Mogadishu has been battling al-Shabab fighters for the past five years and is propped up by thousands of African Union soldiers from Uganda, Burundi, and Djibouti.

When it comes to budgeting in Congress, the devil is in the details.
And the devilish detail in the big budget proposal on Capitol Hill this week, authored by Representative Paul Ryan, is a proposal to sell off of millions of acres of our public lands.
A powerful Republican chairman in the House of Representatives just shared with his constituents his desire to begin selling our national parks. Rep. Cliff Stearns of Florida was caught on video in a local town meeting. Here is what he said:
In early March a Wyoming federal district judge officially lifted a nationwide injunction that had blocked the U.S. Forest Service from implementing the roadless rule.
When the Grand Canyon was named a National Park in 1919, the 44,000 guests who visited there that first year more than likely believed that the surrounding wild lands and waters would get the
It seems as though all I have been thinking about these days is how much our wild places are under attack. Yet, while anti-wilderness members of Congress are bent on undermining conservation, there are still great efforts going on from wilderness heroes on the ground, and I wanted to share

Jul 2015 - $30.00
We just spent the night when passing thru. This is an old park our site didn't have sewer. There is a restaurant in the CG and there we a lot of local cars parked in front of it so it must be OK. The bathrooms are inside the restaurant building and are more like a residential bathroom with a bathtub than what you would normally expect to find. There is a spring onsite and swimming is permitted but we got there too late for that.
This place was OK for an overnight off I-10 but we wouldn't spend more time here than that. - agesilaus
Mar 2015 - $37.00
Easy access to I-10, quiet and beautiful area. This park is a work in progress. Sites are extremely unlevel, roads needed lots of work. It took over an hour to get our motorhome situated so that the rear tires were not off the ground. The office personnel didn't understand why we cared if the tires were off the ground. A 45' motor home, really?? We had to explain the damage that can be done to a motor home if a stabilizing jack fails.
There is a restaurant located in the park office which they really push. We were given quite the spiel by the office staff both when we made our reservations and upon check in. We did not eat in the restaurant as we felt it was overpriced.
Our site did not have sewer connection but the price was the same as a full hookup site. We were told all of the W/S/E sites were reserved,however the park was fairly empty other than the permanent residents. The one dumpster in the park is difficult to find as it is located on the west side of the office close to some other buildings.
There is no Wi-Fi at your site. You have to sit in the office or out back after the office closes. We did not use the restroom facilities. The swimming/fishing hole is no more than a runoff pond.
The maintenance guy told us that they are getting ready to level the sites and work on the roads. This park will be much better when completed.
We would consider staying at this park again when traveling through. - Harley Oma
Mar 2015 - $34.00
Convenient park close to I-10, good for an overnight while traveling. Have stopped there several times. Some sites on a hill not too level, others have been improved. WiFi and cable available and a small lending library. Staff is very helpful. The Mustang Grill at this park is surprisingly very good, with an attentive wait staff. Enjoyed our brief stay. - rversfrommaine

Penn State To Faculty: Go See A Doctor Or Pay A $100 Fine.
Some universities reward healthy choices with financial incentives. Penn State will try a different approach: a $100 monthly surcharge for faculty members who skip out on preventative and biometric screenings. The university claims the move will lower the shared cost of insurance, but some faculty members are objecting to what they characterize as "coerced" healthy living.
What's your take? Should schools and businesses promote public health with punitive measures?

LONDON (October 29, 2012)--Paul McCartney has told an interviewer he believes someone besides Yoko Ono should be blamed for the breakup of The Beatles.
UK's The Observer published an excerpt from the interview that McCartney gave to David Frost in which he says Ono did not break up the band.
McCartney said while he was uncomfortable with Ono sitting in on studio sessions, he feels John Lennon could not have written "Imagine" without her avant-garde influence.
McCartney says the blame for the legendary band's demise really rests with Allen Klein, the manager who took over after Brian Epstein died.
He said Klein got the four fighting with each other, and during the interview McCartney threw a mock punch at a photo of Klein.

Alright, "Natural Color" then.
These dyes were colorless until exposed to UV and then they fluoresced C/M/Y and the image was truly unique and spectacular. It was a "Kodak girl" photo with a MacBeth color checker in the image. Nothing spectacular about the scene, it was the imaging method that was unique.

i was just giving examples of conflicted characters on a starship. i was not trying to sell anything. We don't need to follow all my examples and put them on one ship in space.
Here are just some random ideas for 'conflicted' characters:
The Trill Captain is a woman who lived through eight months in a Cardassian POW camp during the war. She saw a lot of her crew killed in front of her, was constantly tortured and abused by the Cardassian warden until breaking point. Though receiving counselling, there are some things she just won't talk about.
The Human XO who was advanced rapidly up the ranks (some believe too quickly), he now finds himself in his first Command position and must now discover what he's truely made of.
A Romulan Science Officer, after being abandoned by her people she turned to the UFP and has faced suspicion and discrimination since her first days at the Academy.
A temporally displaced human man from the 22nd century serves as Chief Engineer. Lost in time in the midst of the war, he is still playing catch up but wants to make himself useful--so he can't dwell on all that he has lost to the past.
The ship's Andorian Counsellor must help the crew overcome their own trauma and pain from the war, whilst also coming to terms with the loss of his bondmates and offspring.
Conflicted doesn't have to mean issues between different characters, it can also be an individuals own personal journey that the audience gets emotionally invested in.
Yeah, I like those ideas.
