I grew up a fan of comic books. Not all comics, mind you – I was specifically into Spider-Man, the X-Men, and Batman. Now, each of those characters had at least two or three titles running monthly, so that meant I accumulated quite a few comics, all assiduously kept in see-through mylar bags, taped just so to prevent any kind of damage from occurring – not because I viewed the books as investments, but because the books were my escape into another world.
My friends and I spent endless hours talking about the books, re-imagining the characters' exploits, thinking of which ones would be best suited to a movie. Then Tim Burton came along and dropped Batman on us, and the possibilities seemed not only endless, but suddenly achievable.
The imagination of a child is a powerful tool, one that can shape and destroy whole worlds in less time than it takes the average adult to formulate a shopping list for a quick trip to Kroger. I know I often watch my daughter scribble endless doodles on a piece of paper and when I ask her about them, she's capable of telling me the singular story behind each sketch, each random line. For me, those little lines are a small person trying to grab onto a medium of communication; for her, those same lines are a link to a world far bigger and brighter and more real than the one we inhabit.
It's that truth, the limitless potential of the unbridled imagination, that makes me such a fan of the recent Marvel Studios releases. I've finally caught up on all of them and I have to say: great work, Marvel. I didn't care about half of these characters when I was a kid (I knew all of them, and mostly knew their origin stories, but I didn't collect or read them monthly), but as an adult I find that I really like Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America. Each character is different (though honestly, Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark is easily the most interesting of all them) and the movies have been, in their own ways, both an homage to the fanboys and an entree for the newcomers alike.
That's why, when I saw this today, I got giddy. Stupid, giggly, out-of-control giddy. I even went so far as to post the link on my Facebook page. And now I'm writing a blog about it.
Because Marvel has distilled the best part of my childhood – the imagination – into a movie that promises to be both smart and silly, fun and intense. In short, for all of the discussions that Pete and I had on the rocks behind his house, or Ashton and I had while riding around in his Grand Am, we now as adults get to behold the fulfillment of some of our most passionate childhood dreams.
And that, my friends, doesn't happen very often. When it does, you just have to embrace it and enjoy the ride.
So here's to The Avengers. And to Joss Whedon. And to not screwing up the hopes and dreams of countless children trapped in adult bodies everywhere. Thanks for making at least one or two dreams come true.

Nation's poverty rate rises to 14.3%, state's higher
Experts concerned numbers will worsen as benefits dry up
Lemar Alphus | Barely above the poverty benchmark
'It's one of the 'stable' jobs in this world," said Lemar Alphus of Chula Vista, a 26-year-old bus driver for the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System. "But it's not really stable. You're not guaranteed to get your 40 hours a week."
Amid cutbacks at work, Alphus does odd jobs on the weekends to provide a bit of extra cash for a family of four. He recently picked up two free loaves of bread from a San Diego Food Bank site while his wife, Danielle Perez, enrolled the younger of two children in a free Head Start day-care program next door. Perez has endured a yearlong job search.
During a good month, Alphus said, he can make about $2,400. That pretax salary places his family above the $22,000 annual federal poverty threshold for a family of four. But the final check can be much less during months with shorter work shifts.
The family cheerfully shares meals and used clothes with relatives. Perez said there's usually just enough money to celebrate a good school report for son Markise, 6, with a carton of chocolate milk or a trip to Chuck E. Cheese's.
Brian Silva and Shelah Liddle | Making dollars stretch
Engaged couple Shelah Liddle and Brian Silva grilled hot dogs one day this week.
"Ninety-nine cents for eight," Liddle said. "If it's barbecued, then it's like a gourmet meal. I'm sauteeing an onion, too."
In 2007, Liddle lost her 20-year grocery-store job. Silva, a truck driver, has been painting houses intermittently while he looks for permanent work as a driver or heavy-equipment operator. The two, both 50, are happy when they can pay their $800 rent on a house in La Mesa. They were $100 short last month.
"I was living in my car for six months down on Mission Beach" at one point, Liddle said.
Silva receives disability payments of $749 a month for a leg injury. Liddle's unemployment benefits have run out, and the couple's savings have dwindled.
Liddle and Silva grow vegetables, redeem recyclables and wash clothes by hand. Liddle is studying to become a medical assistant, taking the bus to vocational school. The couple have a car, but gas is often a luxury.
"I'm not ready to be put out to pasture yet," Liddle said. "I'd like to work for another 25 years."
Ora Fowler | 'You learn to live by your means'
Ora Fowler, 75, makes ends meet with a little help from her family. One granddaughter pays Fowler's cell phone bill. One daughter takes her to the beauty parlor.
Fowler frequently fields phone calls from her six children to see if she has enough to eat.
"I just couldn't make it without my family," said the divorced great-grandmother, who works as a part-time receptionist at the George L. Stevens Senior Center in the Skyline Hills neighborhood of San Diego. "I would hate to think what it would be like without them. I guess you would make it work because you budget for what you get. ... That's the way I was raised."
Fowler receives less than $450 in Social Security payments and about $500 from her job each month, placing her right around the federal poverty line of $11,000 a year for an individual. She pays $250 monthly for a one-bedroom, federally subsidized apartment in nearby Valencia Park. Food, utilities and other basic expenses eat up the rest of the money.
"You don't complain," Fowler said. "You learn to live by your means."
Poverty overtook millions of people last year, directly affecting one in seven Americans and an even higher ratio across California, according to Census Bureau statistics released Thursday.

How's that for a convenient title? No need to fret over the fates of Don Roos's seven flighty Angelenos thrown into the movie's emo Cuisinart; everything will turn out peachy in that cloying Sundance way by which quirk and crinkly-eyed tears connote easy, unearned wisdom. Still, keeping track of all the characters' stylish problems (baby envy, relationship envy, lead-singer-in-a-terrible-band envy, etc.) is preferable to Roos's annoyingly solicitous onscreen texts (e.g., "Charley is gay now. Who isn't these days?"), consistently barging in and informing us on how to feel.

Genealogy in Scontrone
If you know (or you think) that your ancestors were from Scontrone, you could find info about your Italian family at Registrar of Vital Statistics in the City Office or at the parishes.
Registry offices in Abruzzo and in L'Aquila province were established in early 1800: it means that you could find information in Scontrone registrar as of that date.
Before to start your genealogy research in Scontrone, we suggest you to read our tips for your search . They are useful to search in Abruzzo and in Scontrone too.
In the next picture you can see the demographic trends in Scontrone from the Italian Unification (1861).
It could be important to know if the last name you are investigating is a frequent surname in Scontrone. As more your surname is common in Scontrone, as more it could be difficult to find the right info about your ancestors in Scontrone archives if you have not exact dates.
It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in L'Aquila province are:
Bianchi, Bisegna, Bonanni, Centofanti, Cipriani, Colangelo, D'Alessandro, D'Amico, D'Andrea, D'Angelo, De Angelis, De Santis, Di Benedetto, Di Carlo, Di Cesare, Di Domenico, Di Felice, Di Girolamo, Di Loreto, Di Marco, Di Paolo, Di Pietro, Di Renzo, Di Stefano, Gentile, Giuliani, Graziani, Leone, Liberatore, Mancini, Mariani, Marinucci, Morgante, Pace, Paris, Parisse, Persia, Petrella, Presutti, Ricci, Rossi, Sabatini, Santilli, Santucci, Silvestri, Tarquini, Valentini, Venditti.
Church archives in L'Aquila province may instead contain even older information, but they are far less accessible from abroad (and almost impossible by email).
Then,parishes send information not easily.
If you have the opportunity to visit Scontrone and L'Aquila province, you could plan to investigate churches' archives by yourself, but from abroad is very difficult to obtain any result unless you find a reliable local help.
Another important source of information is the "Archivio di Stato" (National archive) in L'Aquila.
In any case, never give up! Probably the distance from your country and Italy, some difficulties in understanding and in translation, could complicate your search but this should not discourage you.
It's important to plan your activities to carry on with simple goals (eg. search for a single date of birth, the name of an ancestor, the date of a marriage, etc.)

Special announcement! I started this website in 2012, but after going through personal issues (lets just call it "life") I had to call it quits. Now I am BACK in my favorite hobby and here to share it with you!
This is intended to be a broad overview on what to look for when purchasing an air rifle. The amount of options that you have can be mind numbing, but here we will help you narrow it down quite a bit.
Here at Best air rifle review, we live, eat, and breath air rifles, and we love to do air rifle reviews! While air rifles have been around since the Girandoni Air Rifle (around 1780), the technology surrounding air guns have improved vastly. At the present, you can find air rifles for almost any purpose, whether it be for hunting, precision shooting, or just everyday plinking. While air rifles are often regarded as a step down from conventional firearms, there is much more technology and components that go into air rifles. Air rifles are severely underrated, but the top survival voices always recognize that having one is important to your survival arsenal. Not so trivial any more. Perhaps in the past there have been limited types of air rifles on the market, with the types of rifle firearms coming in many more shapes and sizes. In today's market, the diversity in air rifles have extended the hobby of air guns to people of all interests. This presents a problem: how do you choose from all of the models, makes, and calibers available? Read on for all of your answers!
Got ADD? Here's a list of the top air rifles in each power plant category.

- FPS vs. FPE
How do you choose the best air rifle caliber for you?
Choosing a caliber is probably the first hurdle you will face when choosing an air rifle. The four calibers you might have seen around are .25, .22, .20, and .177. The most common air rifle calibers by far are .177 and .22. Within these two choices, you'll also find many more types of ammo/pellets available. For the purpose of providing a thorough guide, lets walk though all four calibers, starting with the smallest.
Choosing the right Caliber air rifle
What is your main purpose?
Are you going to be target shooting or hunting? And if you're hunting, what will be your most common target? These are a couple things to have in mind.
For target shooting, a .177 caliber air rifle will work just fine. In fact, .177 is the more popular choice when it comes to air rifle competitions. .177 caliber has the ability to easily surpass 1000 fps depending on the air rifle. That's about as quick as a 9mm handgun. .177 has the ability to take out small game such as squirels, but nothing bigger. It also requires less air than a .22 to obtain the same FPS (feet per second)
If you're a hunter, then you know that your main goal is a clean humane kill. Therefore you'll need something larger that will really pack a solid punch. For that you'll need a .22 or .25 caliber air rifle. These pellets are simply heavier and carry more kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is a function of mass, more mass means more killing potential. Due to the .22's nature of being heavier and not as high velocity as the .177, the shooter will need to compensate more for pellet drop. This is not usually a huge deal, since the trajectory for the heavier .22 or .25 is more predictable.
The compromise between a .177 and a .22 caliber air rifle is the .20 caliber air rifle. Though not as common, its a decent compromise. The gap between .22 and .177 deserves something to fill the void. I will have a few .20 caliber air rifles listed on this site and will definitely link them here!
Choosing the Best Air Rifle propulsion platform for you!
Getting down to the technical side of air rifles, its important to know the main types of propulsion methods. The air rifle power plants available are: PCP (Pre-charged-pneumatic), multi-pump pneumatuc air rifles, CO2 powered, and Spring Piston air rifles.
1) Pre Charged Pneumatic ("PCP") Air Rifles
To put simply, these types of air rifles are initially filled to an average of 2,000 psi, and are able to fire multiple rounds on this single charge, often with great consistency. Pressure is attained by an external source, such as a hand-pump, or even a high pressure tank such as a scuba tank. These are the "Cadillacs" of air rifles. Whats the difference between a PCP air rifle and a pneumatic pump air rifle? A plain jane pneumatic air rifle needs to be pumped after every shot, where a PCP does not. In the case of using a PCP with a hand pump, you'll get multiple shots from a pump. Scuba tanks are another popular option for powering PCP air rifles. The Benjamin Marauder is a popular option when it comes to PCP air rifles
2) Multi Pump Pneumatic
You probably get the idea after reading 1), these require multiple pumps to fire off a single pellet. The nice part; the power of your shot can be adjusted by the number of times you choose to pump it. The clunky pumping noise while pumping makes this type of air rifle less than ideal for hunting, as all the noise might scare away your target. The advantage is that there is no need for pricey C02 packs. As such, MPP's are a good choice for your survival or SHTF weapon. Many parts are common, as many of these air rifles function similarly. With that said, multi pump air rifles are a very popular and common air rifle.
Many people would consider these to be the best air rifle; due their power variability and simple function. These are basically PCP air rifles with attached pumps! A direct comparison in the PCP world would be using a PCP air rifle with a hand pump. This setup is the same thing, except your pump in the begging and acquire a certain number of shots after that. Pump air rifles allow for a pump-fire-pump-fire sequence. This is good for surprise hunts, as your next shot would only be a few pumps away. This is why many prefer precharged tanks like scuba tanks for their PCP air rifles.
3) Spring Piston Air Rifles
As far as being convenient and always ready to go, spring piston air rifles take the cake. Typically, they utilize a break-away barrel in which only one pump is required to engage the spring with the piston to create high air pressure. Because each shot requires one pump, they are by nature very consistent. There's no remembering how many pumps you pumped it last, which is not fun when you're trying to sight in a new scope. In simple terms; one pump = one shot.
4) Co2 Air Rifles
CO2 air guns come in as many forms as you can imagine. Initially, they were popular mainly for air pistols, given that there wasn't much space to put a pump. CO2 canisters are small, and would take up the space within the hand grip. Nowadays, we see a lot of air rifles that utilize this technology. The CO2 cartridges come in sizes ranged from 12 grams to 88 grams. With 12 gram cartridges being the most popular. What are some advantages to CO2 air powered air rifles? CO2 powered air rifles quiet, and easy to use, since there is no pumping involved. The 850 AirMagnum .22 is a fantastic example of a CO2 air rifle. This technology also allows air rifles to be semi-automatic, such as the Crosman 1077 air rifle. Semi automatic air rifles allow for rapid firing without cocking or pumping. The downside is that they use a little more air than their bolt action counterparts, due to some of the air being required to chamber a new round. Overall, CO2 canisters are meant to be disposable, so if you shoot a lot, expect to go through a lot of cartridges. Luckily, cartridges are cheap, at around $20 for 40 cartidges from amazon.
Now that you know enough about the type of air rifles out there, how do you know which brand of air rifle to purchase. Honestly, there are a lot of good brands there, as competition to create the best pellet guns only benefit the consumer. Here ill discuss a few brands and some of their interesting past.
Headquartered in Spain, "El Gamo" (as originally named) is the largest manufacturer and distributor of air rifles in Europe. Though Europeans mainly use Gamo air rifles, by far the largest gorup of air rifle buyers are form the Unites States. On a similar note, Gamo is the largest manufacturer of air rifle pellets in the world. Aside from air rifles and pellets, Gamo also makes air pistols, optics, and other air gun accessories. Gamo continuted to set worldwide standards with the introduction of its IGT, or inert gas technology. This technology replaces conventional spring power plants with a pneumatic gas cylinder. This creates a smoother shooting experience which leads to greater accuracy. In Europe, you'll see this marketed as the "IGT" lineup, but in the U.S. we'll see it as the "Silent Stalker Whisper"
Otherwise known as "Rheinisch-Westfälische Sprengstoff", which is now licensed to Umarex USA for maketing purpases, produces some of the highest quality air rifles aorund. Although on the expensive side, nothing beats the overall quality of these air rifles. The quality of these air rifles are on par with that of conventional firearms. Thats are sturdy these are built. The RWS 350 Magnum .22 and .177 are one of their flagship guns that should always be considered if you are a serious shooter.
FPS vs. FPE
Feet per second vs. Pound-foot of Energy.
Often, air rifle manufacturers will advertize their air rifles FPS data and use it as a selling point. There are many more things that define a good air rifle than just feet per second data. The FPS data often comes from light weight pellets, which carry a minimal impact force. The true power at impact can be measured using FPE instead. For hunting, this data point is much more valuable than simply knowing the FPS. FPE is also a measure of kinetic energy, which can be written as 1/2*m*v^2. As you'll see, the mass "m" plays a factor in the energy. Simply, a slower heavier pellet will impact harder than a fast moving smaller pellet.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope this guide helps!

I replaced a "non-custom" connector set with these. They came with instructions specific for my car, and the installation was easy once you got to the right connectors by removing most of the panels in the rear of the car. Only challenge was routing the power from the back to the battery. There was a poke-through that worked for the wire, followed a brake line to the front.

A Bone From a Dry Sea (1992)
by Peter Dickinson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
It's actually unfortunate that some teachers have assigned this, because it really is not the kind of book that appeals to people who don't like to read anything outside their comfort zone.
Sometimes some of the characters' behaviors are bit implausible - for example Vinny is awfully sensitive to her parents' perspectives, and also she's amazingly able to articulate, to her father, why her mother is a good person but not a good wife to him.
Other than that - marvelous. It is absolutely fascinating to imagine what the certain particular stage of human evolution that was explored here might have been like - especially for one thoughtful girl-child living through it. The child and the people of her tribe and community are beguiling.
The modern part of the story was interesting, too. It's nice to think of science as a noble pursuit, but issues of egos and of funding are all too influential, as this book makes more clear than I'd ever fully realized before.
Smart, gracefully written, thoughtful - and for the right readers, engaging.
RGG: Duel narrative of a prehistoric girl's survival with her tribe and a contemporary girl's participation in an archealogical dig. The prehistoric story is more interesting
Vinny, a modern girl is reunited with her father on a fossil dig in Africa. She is exploring the fossil remains of another girl--and the other narrator of the story--who lived millions of years ago. Follow Li, a hominid who lived when the flat plain was a sea, and Vinny, who is finding herself as she discovers fossils of a distant age.

The invention relates to methods and apparatus for retaining sub-components within an assembly. More specifically, embodiments of the invention are related to systems and apparatus for simplifying the installation and removal of an electronics assembly into a housing.
In oil and gas applications, flow computers are used for high-performance measurement and control functions, such as fiscal metering, custody transfer, batch loading, meter proving, multi-stream measurement, station monitoring/control and other applications. In order to provide flexible configurations and simplify maintenance, many of these flow computers utilize separate electronics modules to perform individual functions. Because a particular flow computer may only perform a limited number of functions, only those modules required to perform the needed functions are installed in the flow computer at a given time.
In order to provide a high level of configurability and customization, many flow computers are constructed so that the electronics modules can be easily changed or replaced. The electronics modules are often coupled to the flow computer by a retention system that supports field removal and replacement of electronics modules. Many of these retention systems utilize mechanical coupling mechanisms that require the use of a screwdriver, or other tool, to actuate. Many mechanical retention systems also take up valuable space within the flow computer housing, both for the retention system and for the space needed to provide tool access. In some instances the space needed for the retention system requires larger enclosures and system footprints.
Thus, the embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and apparatus for retaining an electronics module that seek to overcome these and other limitations of the prior art.
Embodiments of the present invention include an electronics module comprising an electronics assembly comprising a first connector and a second connector. The first and second connectors are disposed on opposite ends of the electronics assembly. A case encloses the electronics assembly. The first connector is accessible through a first side of the case and the second connector is accessible through a second side of the case. A locking tab is disposed on the case and is biased to an extended position. A sliding member is slidably coupled to the case and operable to move the locking tab to a retracted position.
Other embodiments comprise an electronics block assembly comprising a backplane disposed within a housing. A sleeve is disposed within a receptacle in the housing. An electronics module is enclosed within a case that is insertable into the sleeve. A locking tab is disposed on the case and is biased to an extended position where the locking tab is engaged with the sleeves. A sliding member is slidably coupled to the case and operable to move the locking tab to a retracted position wherein the locking tab is not engaged with the sleeve.
Other embodiments include a method comprising disposing an electronics assembly within a case to form an electronics module. The case comprises a locking tab disposed on the case and biased to an extended position. A sliding member slidably coupled to the case and operable to move the locking tab to a retracted position. The method further comprises installing the electronics module into a sleeve disposed within housing, wherein the locking tab engages the sleeve when the locking tab is in the extended position.
Thus, the embodiments of the present invention comprise a combination of features and advantages that enable substantial enhancement of the installation and retention of electronics modules. These and various other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention and by referring to the accompanying drawings.
For a more detailed description of the present invention, reference is made to the accompanying Figures, wherein:
In the description that follows, like parts are marked throughout the specification and drawings with the same reference numerals, respectively. The drawing figures are not necessarily to scale. Certain features of the invention may be shown exaggerated in scale or in somewhat schematic form and some details of conventional elements may not be shown in the interest of clarity and conciseness.
In certain embodiments, electronics assemblies comprise circuitry that provides high-performance measurement and control functions. External connectors 38 on the external end of module 40 and provide connection points for electrical leads and other components. For example, external connectors 38 may be a termination block that provides connection points for various sensors, meters, and other instrumentation. In general, these sensors and other instrumentation provide raw data to electronics assembly 34 and allow control signals to return to the connected equipment. The circuitry within electronics assembly 34 manipulates the raw data and converts the data into useful information for functions such as fiscal metering, custody transfer, batch loading, meter proving, multi-stream measurement, station monitoring/control.
When electronics modules 20 are disposed within sleeves 18, internal connectors 40 are disposed within housing 12 and are engaged with module connectors 26 on backplane 14. Backplane 14 interconnects the plurality of electronics modules 20 so as to allow communication between electronics assemblies 34 as well as provide a single location through which the information can be transmitted or communicated.
Housing 12 and electronics modules 20 are configured so as to simplify the connection of the electronics modules to backplane 14. Therefore, block assembly 10 may include one or more features that aid in the alignment and engagement of electronics modules 20 with backplane 14. In order to ensure that internal connectors 40 align with and engage module connectors 26, sleeves 18 and electronics modules 20 comprise one or more alignment features. Referring now to
Block assembly 10 may also include one or more retention mechanisms that secure electronics module 20 to housing 12. The retention system retains electronics module 20 within sleeve 18 of housing 12 but also allows for simple disengagement and removal of the module when desired. Components of the retention system can be seen in

Sliding member 106 can slide relative to case 104 from a first position to a second position. In the first position, actuation cam 126 is disposed adjacent to ramp 118 in ramp aperture 136. In the first position, locking tab 124 is in a position substantially flush with recessed area 122 and engagement member 130 is fully extended. Sliding member 106 is moved from the first position to the second position by sliding the sliding member relative to case 104. As sliding member 106 slides relative to case 104, actuation cam 126 engages and slides along ramp 118 until stop member 128 contacts the edge 138 of ramp aperture 136. Stop member 128 and edge 138 act as a slide limiter to limit the movement of sliding member 106. The movement of actuation cam 126 along ramp 118 deflects locking tab 124 inward into the interior of case 104 and retracts engagement member 130 into case 104.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention relate to apparatus for connecting an electronic module to a block assembly. The present invention is susceptible to embodiments of different forms. There are shown in the drawings, and herein will be described in detail, specific embodiments of the present invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the invention, and is not intended to limit the invention to that illustrated and described herein.
The embodiments set forth herein are merely illustrative and do not limit the scope of the invention or the details therein. It will be appreciated that many other modifications and improvements to the disclosure herein may be made without departing from the scope of the invention or the inventive concepts herein disclosed. Because many varying and different embodiments may be made within the scope of the inventive concept herein taught, including equivalent structures or materials hereafter thought of, and because many modifications may be made in the embodiments herein detailed in accordance with the descriptive requirements of the law, it is to be understood that the details herein are to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

The BMC Leading Ladder and Hey You University Clubs!by Mick Ryan - Senior Editor - UKC Sep/2010
This news story has been read 4,908 times
The chalk storms, the rain dribbles, the snow begins to fly and the sun beats down on foreign climbs.
It's climbing wall season - and hey let's pray for beautiful autumn days out on rock as well - time to plan trips to Sun Rock, time to sharpen the axes in preparation for, we hope, another amazing season, and yes those bloody students are gathering en masse at a crag near you.
Winter approaches.
There's no better way of getting fit, and maybe even climbing a bit harder, than committing yourself to the BMC Leading Ladder - or climbing with a super multi-sport athlete like Jon Morgan as I did this afternoon at The Edge in Sheffield as the rain beat down on Steel City's pavements. I live in hope.
The BMC Leading Ladder is a fun and informal competition held at many of our local walls - 30 of them - with routes ranging from 5+ to 8a. They start early October and end in March.
Full details here: The BMC Leading Ladder Explained
Dates and Venues are here: BMC Leading Ladder Dates 2010 - 2011
With the students back and hard at work studying, it's time for the university climbing clubs to take their fresh meat out to the crag. This can cause problems, and raise tempers if the crag you decided to spend your precious Saturday or Sunday is crowded with new climbers taking their first steps into the vertical world - some crags get as busy as Malham Lower Wall or Kilnsey Crag on a dry weekend!
Some clubs have already posted on the UKC forums alerting climbers where they are going to be and a big thanks for that.
However, Rob Dyer, the new BMC Access & Conservation Officer, has formalised this 'Freshers's Meet Alert' with a post in the BMC forums at UKC, he writes:
Here's a link to the BMC's 'Green Guide to the Uplands' which gives advice on group use of crags in sections 11, 12 and 13 (pages 20-24): www.thebmc.co.uk/greenguides
I've also emailed all the Uni Club contact email addresses we have in the BMC database in case they don't check UKC. Post away and happy climbing!"

Houghton v. Burden
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Houghton v. Burden, 228 U.S. 161 (1913)
Houghton v. Burden
No. 1
Argued January 7, 1913
Decided April, 7, 1913
Where a secured creditor voluntarily comes into the Bankruptcy Court and asserts a claim to property in the trustees' possession, the proceeding is one in equity and the decree is reviewable by the circuit court of appeals both as to law and fact; § 566, Rev.Stat., is inapplicable, and the whole case is open under § 128, Judicial Code, and an appeal lies to this Court under § 241, Judicial Code.
A contract for loaning money secured by accounts payable to the borrower, who is to act as agent for the lender in their collection, providing that the lender shall, in pursuance of a provision in a bond of indemnity given by third parties, examine the accounts and books of the borrower monthly and receive a compensation therefor equivalent to a specified percent of the accounts remaining due, held in this case to have been made in good faith and not for the purpose of avoiding the usury laws, and not to be a usurious and void contract under the laws of the New York.
On an inquiry whether the contract is one forbidden by law, evidence dehors the agreement is admissible to show that, though legal on its face, the agreement is in fact illegal.
Usury may be interposed as a defense even though it contradicts the agreement.
Where the law of the state makes usury a crime, the burden is strongly on him who would avoid a debt on that ground, and where, as in this case, the borrower is supported by one witness who is in his employ and the lender is supported by one disinterested witness, the burden is not sustained.
The facts, which involve the jurisdiction of the circuit court of appeals to review facts in certain cases coming from the Bankruptcy Court and the construction of usury laws of New York, are stated in the opinion.

Guest Post: The World Before Central Banking
Submitted by John Aziz of Azizonomics,
In today's world, there are many who want government to regulate and control everything. The most bizarre instance, though — more bizarre even than banning the sale of large-sized sugary drinks — is surely central banking.
Why? Well, central banking was created to replace something that was already working well. Banking panics and bank runs happen, and they have always happened as long as there has been banking.
But the old system that the Fed displaced wasn't really malfunctioning — unlike what the defenders of central banking today would have us believe. Following the Panic of 1907, a group of private bankers led by J.P. Morgan successfully bailed out the system by acting as lender of last resort. The amount of new liquidity disbursed into the system was set not by academics like Ben Bernanke, but by experienced market participants. And because the money was directed from private purses, rather than being created out of thin air, only assets and companies with value were bought up.
The rationale of the supporters of the Federal Reserve Act was that a central banking liquidity mechanism would act as a safeguard against such events, to act as a permanent lender-of-last-resort backed by government fiat. They wanted something bigger and better than a private response.
Yet the Banking Panic of 1907 — a comparable market drop to both 1929 or 2008 — didn't result in a residual depression.
As the WSJ noted:
The largest economic crisis of the 20th century was the Great Depression, but the second most significant economic upheaval was the panic of 1907. It was from beginning to end a banking and financial crisis. With the failure of the Knickerbocker Trust Company, the stock market collapsed, loan supply vanished and a scramble for liquidity ensued. Banks defaulted on their obligations to redeem deposits in currency or gold.
Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz, in their classic "A Monetary History of the United States," found "much similarity in its early phases" between the Panic of 1907 and the Great Depression. So traumatic was the crisis that it gave rise to the National Monetary Commission and the recommendations that led to the creation of the Federal Reserve. The May panic triggered a massive recession that saw real gross national product shrink in the second half of 1907 and plummet by an extraordinary 8.2% in 1908. Yet the economy came roaring back and, in two short years, was 7% bigger than when the panic started.
Ben Bernanke, widely seen as the pre-eminent scholar of the Great Depression thought things would be much, much better under his watch. After all, he has claimed that he understood the lessons of Friedman and Schwartz who criticised the 1930s Federal Reserve for continuing to contract the money supply, worsening the Great Depression; M2 in 1933 was just 72% of its 1929 peak.
So a bigger crash and liquidation in 1907 allowed the economy to roar back, and continue growing. Meanwhile, in today's controlled, planned and dependent world of central liquidity insurance, quantitative easing and TARP, growth remains anaemic four years after the crash. Have the last four years proven conclusively that central banking — even after the lessons of the 1930s — is inferior to the free market?
Certainly, Bernanke's response to 2008 has been superior to the 1930s Fed — M2 has not dropped by anything like what it did from 1929:
Industrial production has not fallen by as significant an amount as 1929, nor has homebuilding. And there are many other wide-scale economic differences between 1907 and 2008 in terms of the shape of the economy, and the shape of employment, the capital structure, and the wider geopolitical reality. But the bounce-back is still vastly inferior to the free-market reality of 1907. I think there are greater problems to central banking, ones of which Friedman, Schwartz and Bernanke were unaware (but of which Rothbard and von Mises were acutely aware).
Does central banking retard the economy by providing liquidity insurance and a backstop to bad companies that would not otherwise be saved under a free market "bailout" (like that of 1907)? And is it this effect — that I call zombification — that is the force that has prevented Japan from fully recovering from its housing bubble, and that is keeping the West depressed from 2008? Will we only return to growth once the bad assets and bad companies have been liquidated? That conclusion, I think, is becoming inescapable.

The monetary base increased 26% from 29 to 33. The Fed was pumping up the reserves but no one was lending. Sound familiar?
Treasury Secretary Chase created the 07 panic by printing IOUs from the Treasury Department for failed ventures and his friends.
Back then people could redeem worthless paper for gold...or else...
Here is a good audio of the 1907 panic.
Actually, the Fed conducted open market operations only in 1930. They resumed in 1933.
As far as money supply goes, it's nearly irrelevant if it has no velocity (turnover). Velocity cratered in 31/32.
After attempts to create a central bank failed, the Secretary of Treasury Leslie Shaw attempted to continue and expand the experiments of his predecessor Lyman Gage in making theU.S. Treasury function like a central bank. In particular, Shaw made open-market purchases in recessions and violated the Independent Treasury statutes confining Treasury funds to its own vaults, by depositing Treasury funds in favored large national banks. In his last annual report of 1906, Secretary Shaw urged that he be given total power to regulate all the nation's banks.
The Panic of 1907 struck in October, the result of an inflation stimulated by Secretary of the Treasury Leslie Shaw in the previous two years.[
i believe i read somewhere that when two transients starved to death in new york during the depression, it was national news. in other words, it was a rarity. a quick google of "starvation in the united states history" doesn't bring up much. right off hand i'd say that there wasn't much starvation (maybe malnutrition) prior to snap. government assistance or no government assistance, i doubt that the american people would stand idly by while their fellow citizens starved.
7 million people died of starvation during the Great Depression (or the Great Heist more accurately)
Yeah, and 47 million are starving in the USA today, which is why we have SNAP Cards ... utter BS! 20 million starved to death in the Ukraine with a national government actively seeking to starve them to death, so I find it hard to believe 7m starved to death in the US with a government that was, at best, indifferent to their plight, and even harder to believe given the large number of private charitable organizations and government agencies that were actually working to ameliorate their plight.
No, 47 million are NOT starving (Jesus, get a grip). Consider what the hungry in America have. Massive government programs -free breakfasts, lunch, food stamps, weekly checks; Community suppliers like Second Harvest, county kitchens, food banks, etc. Then there are the endless religious programs that give (at least here in Tennessee) truckloads of food to folks week after week. There is TennCare (Obamacare light) that covers most kids in the state. Now restaurants and grocers are donating left over foods.
If 47 million folks are "starving" it is not due to lack of food or resources. You want to see starvation? Go to Russia, Chad, Pakistan, India or Haiti.
Interesting discussion of SNAP and such. First off, when the draft happened during WW2, the gov was shocked to find so many emaciated young men showing up for physicals, hence food aid began in earnest until we had full employment during the war, and has ebbed and flowed since.
In today's world, all I can say is a quote I read many years ago from a prospective 3rd world immigrant as to why he wanted to come to the States:
"I want to come to America because there even the poor people are fat".
the us had a population of 122 million in 1929 so you are saying that more than one out of every twenty people in the u.s. died of starvation during the depression? could you provide a citation, please? (edit: sorry, i misread your answer - you must mean worldwide).
Re: Spacemoose

Ps. the cost of farmers to bring products to market was a negative return [they slaved for nothing] for selling them.
Ps2. famine, and malnutrition creates disease, which in turn feeds depression and suicide - and let us never forget the infant mortality birthrate. Oh, and by the way - most towns and cities were filled with bastardy children abandoned in early childhood, with a quarter million of them riding the rails. True. No one person can really put the number of actual deaths caused by the great depression, and yet those that live today *whom happened to be in its throes, would rather die than relive that nightmare again. [*my mother as witness]
One of the biggest lessons investors face is that is that they central bankers do not have omnipotent powers to control the economy and the markets. We already saw this in 2000/1 and 2008/9, but after three years of prices moving ahead of risk, apparently it's time for a reminder.
The Fed likes lofty markets as cheap bonds equate to cheap credit, higher earnings and incrementally better employment numbers. So, more than anything, the central banks work to protect leveraged entities - not those lending to them.
Let's roll through what Mr. Bernanke has said today.
My interpretation is that he inferred he is uncomfortable acting in any big way without fiscal stimulus - unless the markets tank. He said the Europeans have ample means to contain their sovereign debt problems, but that politics was getting in the way. He said the Fed would lend to any solvent banks if needed.
Bernanke did not say, "we are going to help markets reconcile an unattainable FY 2013 earnings forecast with what is really feasible", or, "we are going to buy commodities to blunt any supply glut".
This is silly stuff. Prices are way ahead of themselves and need to come down.
Um. What?
Census in the US were taken every 10 years. (Still are?) The numbers from the Census Bureau site show:
1920: 106 million
1930: 123 million (+17 million)
1940: 132 million (+9 million)
Even given that the census is extremely accurate </sarc>, doesn't count births or deaths but merely noses, and doesn't make any allowance for immigrants/emigrants, I still find it hard to believe that essentially 7% of the then population starved to death, all while the population growth matched and exceeded those deaths and managed to grow and additional 7%.
I suspect you are referencing the Russian academic paper that Wiki yanked. It is just conceivable, even in this age of lies, that the reason it was pulled was due to shoddy/false research and a knowledge base that prides itself on seriously pursuing accuracy. I've talked to most of my Grandparents about their experiences during the GD, as well as some on my wife's side. I hear lots of hardship, lessons learned, tough and lean times and very simple things being treasured. I don't recall any reports of starvation in family or neighbors.
Unless they were put into mass graves, you'd think there would have been a business boom tracked in those who make pine boxes, and a subsequent bust when non-starvation times resumed...
Well, I assumed he meant the US as well, but to be fair to him, he only says that 7 million starved to death, but does not say where. Maybe he meant to imply that that was a global figure rather than a number for the US only.
RT published a story with someone claiming 7MM people vanished during the Great Depression and hypothesizes they died of starvation.
Thanks for the link. Buried in it, is a link to the census report that our intrepid researcher uses to justify his analysis. That can be found at http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/docs/publications/stat_abstract/1940s/sa_19... . It is a 925 page compiled census report. On page 2 (the number, actually about the 25th from the start), I find table #3, Area and Population of the United States: 1790 to 1940.
From the RT.com article, this was the key section for our researcher. He noted that the population growth rate dropped off sharply from prior decades, and (my interpretation) concluded that this drop off was too severe to be accounted for by normal statistical deviation.
Well.... when I look at the numbers I see a fairly steady level of a whopping 33-ish % population growth rate, per decade, running from 1790 through 1860. This declines to 22% and 30% (each revised by a later estimate to 26%) for the decades 1870 and 1880. From that point, things seem to begin a gradual decline: 25%, 20%, 21%, 15%, 16%, 7%, over the decades 1890 thru 1940.
If I looked at things the way this researcher did, I'd find the 8% dip at 1870 to scream cover-up. The US admits to 600k people dying during the Civil War (War Between the States); that is only 1.5 percent! Where are the missing people that account for the other 6.5% of this unusual decline!!!???
The researcher seems to miss several simple factors:
- Population stats include immigration. People might just not change countries nearly as freely if there is a) a Civil War in progress, or b) a World Wide Great Depression.
- The census today is a mess (paid teenagers, voluntary send-in-a-form method, people who do/don't want to be counted). Imagine the nightmare of trying to collect stats back in 1940, at the end of the worst economic hardship the country had seen. People living in tent cities, squatting with relatives, for sure willing to welcome someone claiming to be from the government wanting to ask a few questions. I see fudge factors all over the place.
- I sort of think it reasonable that families in a depression might curtail the baby dropping a bit. Presuming that people procreate at such and such a rate regardless of circumstances seems a bit naive.
- Our researcher stops looking at 1940, which is his anomalous decade. But the % increases following were: 14% in 1950, 18% in 1960, 13% in 1970, and 11%, 9% 13% and 9% for 1980 thru 2010. Hmmm. Looks like we might be tempted to call the children of the 50's and 60s Baby Boomers, and we seem to have settled into a 10% ish growth rate during the relatively stable years following. Sure makes our researcher's 7% anomaly look, well, down-right reasonable if it is examined in the context of a maturing country.
- Our boy also overlooks the impact that changing lifespan has on population growth rates. Life expectancy in the early 20th century (1900s) was 31 years, where it had pretty much been since the Paleolithic (I kid you not, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy). Today it is around 67 years. That change happened during our researcher's anomalous period.
It is natural for *any* system that seems to continually grow to grow at slower and slower rates. A small base can have a huge growth, and still be a small number. A large base would need a massive amount of new influx in order to sustain a constant growth rate. At the limit, the base reaches infinity, and it becomes impossible to sustain any fixed rate of growth, since even a small percentage represents an essentially infinite addition. Translation: it is natural and expected to see any growing system begin to have a decline in growth rate as it gains in size; the census values with their plateau into a decline are typical, not odd.
I've tried to refrain from bringing up the researcher's evident motivations for his analysis. As he relates, in the 1980s, the US Congress baldly accused the Russians of covering up/causing famine deaths in the Ukraine during the 1930s. His research could easily fit the bill of a funded shouldn't-throw-stones, you-too scenario. I don't really care about that. What bothers me is that his work tries to build a case for missing numbers, without explaining the massive amounts of collaborating evidence that *should* be present if his theory were true. Death records, newspaper stories of nearly 1 in 10 people starving to death, family diaries mourning lost loved ones. Mass graves where the bodies were dumped. None of that is there. Just his analysis of admittedly best-we-can-do-on-a-limited-budget census, and that analysis appears to assume many "normal" rates in a world that is in reality quite variable.
Thank you for the well researched paper. It was a difficult read so I can imagine the documentation time needed. Again,--thanks for your effort. milestones
Central Banking is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. Charging people interest to counterfeit what their Government has a sovereign right to issue... and getting away with it for damn near a hundred years!
Like to give a shout out to my niggas, Rothschild, Rockefeller, Warburg, Morgan...
President Herbert Hoover declared, "Nobody is actually starving. The hoboes are better fed than they have ever been." But in New York City in 1931, there were 20 known cases of starvation; in 1934, there were 110 deaths caused by hunger. There were so many accounts of people starving in New York that the West African nation of Cameroon sent $3.77 in relief."

Please document your claim and please discount for normal starvation.
women would swallow in the depression to get a meal; an men tried to save it.
There's a moral hazard tsunami out there and it's going to take the world with it.
Yes, central banking is a "solution" looking for a problem. Of course, in this case, the solution is the problem.
I think we're going to skip the zombification, not collect our $200, and go straight to meltdown.
Monetary policy IS a problem; central banking just isn't a good solution.
The Fed does not have a money-making machine. It has a money-destroying machine. It's not a printing press, it's a money shredder.
They are not central planning. They are central robbing.
And the politicians are the problem.
The fact that Ron Paul ran in the Republican primaries exposed him to a national audience; not only to Republicans but to Independents and Democrats (many of whom support him). His ideas are part of a movement that won't be stopped. It is a movement that will split, if not now then soon, the Republican Party. Ron Paul, in spite of what the media says, is going to have in terms of his own delegates and the delegates pledged to Romney but are for Ron Paul what amounts to about 20 percent of the total delegation at the Republican Convention - which no media has ever recognized.
(Speaking of media bias, election night I went to bed too early to hear the Wisconsin results on the Walker recall. But NPR's on-the-half-hour roundup at 5:30 a.m. told me Walker had won when instead of the Wisconsin story, NPR led with the JPMorgan hearing.)
Ron Paul, with the kinds of stands he takes - continually against the wars, never backing down on his opposition to the compromises in George Bush's party - to get the kind of movement he got because of the GOP debates, his message became a national message; it's undeniable and it won't go away. He is the one who identified the Fed and the wars and the foreign policy, making the point over and over that these foreign countries are against us because we are in their countries.
Paul has made a major impact. He is not supporting Romney; he is continuing on. This, IMO, is highly significant.
Republican convention is going to be a nightmare for TPTB, I hope Ron Paul makes it there in one piece and takes it by storm.
+ 1 to both JR and Paul
Romney and the other R-Team PTB had best be nice to Ron Paul! Libertarian thinking is catching on... It is the best set of policies in our very TOXIC environment.
If Romney wins, the Senate will likely go R as well. We will then have a two year period to see if there IS any differences between the R-Team and the D-Team. I will not be holding my breath though.
Nah, RP and his minions will go quietly into that gentle night. The Republican convention is going to be a snooze-fest.
I'm voting for the only candidate who will not make my dog ride on the roof of the car...
Or eat him.
Ron Paul.
+1 @JR I make a lot of disparaging remarks about the general populace so easily swayed and controlled by the msm - many of us on ZH make fun of the sheep or stupid apes that make up the electorate. But every now and then people surprise you with genuine warmth, intelligence, and insight encouraged by men like Dr.Paul. The messages of sanity - of foreign, economic, and fiscal policies are so important that once heard, they can never be forgotten.
We all know the probability of a Ron Paul victory is slim, but every now and then people surprise you with an outstanding example of the "Wisdom of crowds" process. I think you're right - Dr.Paul will have a major impact in that den of rationalizing nutjobs and thieves in Washington this year, whatever the outcome as long as good people continue to stand with him.
Thank you for this heartfelt and powerful message, YHC-FTSE. I too am encouraged by men like Dr. Paul…by his spirit and wisdom.
"What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?" – Thomas Jefferson
It has begun…
Rand Paul endorses Romney
How was upward mobility? Median incomes? Healthcare outcomes?
Clue-LESS! (and you forgot the 20 or so panics before then, for obvious reasons)
Yes, because central banking is necessary for all of those things.
The panics were a result of bankers printing too much money and then not being able to redeem in specie. They got governments to rescind specie redemption for them (though they were allowed to require specie payments from debtors) until the panics were over. These were usually a result of land speculation (1819) and stock and bond market manipulations and speculation.
Will we only return to growth once the bad assets and bad companies have been liquidated?
Sometimes the only solution to a problem about to hit one's head is stepping back and let the dices fall as they may. Otherwise the avalanche would sweep us along into the abyss.
current system also allows for huge trade deficits to build up, which as we are seeing can lead to instability.
Healthcare outcomes? WTF 1905 dude, no corporate/state monstrosity like now.
Medical bill - hey doc would you take two chickens for pay and oh by the way thanks for making a house call.
I have written about this phenomenae in several forums and blogs. Even before Bernanke came up with his bailout program. The summary of a very complex subject, full of equations to accomodate velocity, acceleration ( and derivatives to the nth degree) of both money supply and economic activity, chaos theory and game theory based economic models you can say:
Without the pain suffered by our ancestors in the great depression (had Bernanke been around to avoid it) we'd have lost WWII and the USA would be a German satelite Country in a very different world.
The economic power of the USA, the power that allowed to react the way it did had its base in the economic recovery post 1930s depression. This is by contrast to the stagnation that would have followed had Bernanke and his supposed knowledge and thesis work been around at that time.
I fully support the article above that goes into the details of why this could have been the case. I can assure you that it is a lot more complex than that, but it doesn't matter the real summary is that wihout sacrifice and hard work and literally the destruction of what doesn't work, and the loss of the capital that was incorrectly invested = PAIN, there will be NO GAIN....
Until next time,
You seem to write allot...
Bernanke and his cronies robbed the treasury. They did this in the Thirties as well but they took the detour of a major war that required large government spending programs and war bonds. That 2nd Great War was the result of their 1st Great War which should have cemented all their lust for power but then Germany stalled and stopped paying the bills of odious debts.
Guess what is happening right now and which country seems to be asked again to pay the bills for everyone else.
...@ spineless ,Fuck Off slave.
Does central banking retard the economy? Yes. Central banking left unchallenged will eventually go full retard.The retardation is accelerating at ridiculous speed towards the event horizon.
