Are SKS rifles regular blow back or is that a rod driven by gas on the top? I cleaned one up I picked up back in 1993. Old Chinese milled receiver. Chrome lined barrel.
This old thing has been locked up in there for almost 20 years. Pulled it out and cleaned out the COSMO today.

New Soft Adventure Bike Trail
Soft Amazon Adventure Program Features New Bike Trail Connecting Posada Amazonas with the Ńape Ethnobotanical Garden
Mountain biking in the Peruvian Amazon is as adventurous and amazing as it sounds. Toucans yelp from the canopy of the rainforest and the humid air is punctuated with the triumphant screeches of macaws flying overhead as you pedal your way along a damp jungle trail. The tall rainforest pulsates with life and the strong brown currents of the Tambopata River are occasionally sighted off to the left as you bike along the ten kilometer trail that connects the high ground of Posada Amazonas with the lower floodplain forests surrounding the Ńape Ethnobotanical Garden. Along the way, Red Howler Monkeys sitting up in the canopy and Capybaras resting on riverbanks remind you that the trail is situated in a community reserve whose protection has resulted in higher numbers of these and other animals. When you reach the end of the trail at Ńape, you stop for a refreshing drink and are shown around this community medicinal plant garden by a local shaman.
Centro Ńape can also be visited with a relaxing boat ride along the river, but guests hoping for a bit of adventure during their rainforest jungle tour will certainly find it when biking along this new trail. The ride is a good example of the type of family friendly activity showcased by our soft adventure programs. Geared towards guests who want to add a bit of adventure or physical challenge to their Amazonian experience, the soft adventure programs also include such activities as sea kayaking on the river, and using a harness to climb high up into the rainforest canopy.
Some parts of the new bike trail are muddy but there are wooden bridges over the wettest areas and brick-like materials have been placed on sections that are subject to erosion. It's a brave, new, exciting activity available at Posada Amazonas and a fantastic way to experience the Ese Eja community reserve.

"Every chronic condition I have studied, without exception, has a mental health component to it, everything," said Richard Bullough, Summit County Health Director. "If you're not empowered to make change, and you're not mentally healthy to have that empowerment, you cannot influence any health factor. Mental health is fundamental to everything."
Bullough noted that it is easy to talk about physical and visible health conditions, such as physical activity and obesity. And people are also willing to talk about community issues such as clean drinking water and air pollution.
"It's pretty easy to increase awareness and have those be a fundamental part of the community," he said. "But mental health and substance abuse are very different. They are private. One of the challenges we face is making sure people are aware of the mental health services that may not always be the topic of conversation in the community."
Bullough said he hopes that changes, and that mental health can become a bigger part of the conversation as a county and as a health department.
"It should be a normal conversation about health. We just can't accomplish very much if people are not in a state of mental health to allow them to take action and take care of themselves," he said.
Summit County Manager Bob Jasper is hoping the county can begin to focus on treatment for the chronically mentally ill and those with chronic substance abuse problems as the county moves forward.
"We had a physician talk to us about doing more preventative stuff with kids, and it's not that we don't want to do that, but we only have so much money in our contract with Valley Mental Health, so I think we're more focused on the people that have had serious problems," he said.
Valley Mental Health is a community mental health care provider that has been contracted by Summit County for years to provide mental health services, such as therapy, substance abuse treatment, 24-hour crisis help, peer counseling, outpatient programs and autism spectrum programs.
Valley Mental Health has been taking steps to increase their presence in the community and awareness of their mental health and substance abuse services.
To that end, the county has implemented a county drug court program for people with chronic alcohol and drug abuse problems.
"So we're looking at a little more focus on that population, and then on the mentally ill," he said. "We are ultimately responsible for them so I want to target them a bit."
"We're trying to expand so we're not just in Park City, and I think that's working really well," said Victoria Delheimer, Valley Mental Health rural services director. "In the past, more was done at the clinic, but now we're also in North and South Summit elementary and middle schools."
Research shows that if elementary and middle school children are taught life skills, substance abuse and mental health disorders can be prevented, she said.
"So we've really focused on expanding our life skills training in schools," she added.
A 2011 survey showed Summit County youth alcohol, marijuana and prescription drug use was far above the state average.
"Parental attitudes towards favorable use is much higher than the state average," she said. "There is somewhat of a perception in Summit County that it is OK to use under the right circumstances. But the research says that if you can delay alcohol use until age 21, the likelihood of drug and alcohol problems decrease exponentially."
However, Summit County underage alcohol and drug use trends have been decreasing over time, which Delheimer attributes to the county and state preventative programs.
Bullough added that perception also plays a key role in decreasing underage substance abuse, as well as increasing awareness.
"Perception is important, and what the norm is is important," he said. "And I think one of the challenges moving forward is to accurately communicate what the norm is. So much of what we do is based on what we think is normal. So I think that's part of the message we have to work on changing."

Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Tap or click PC and devices, and then tap or click PC info.
Under PC, check the Pen and Touch setting, it'll describe what sort of input your screen supports.
If you have a touchscreen, touch input is on by default and can't be turned off. If you expect your laptop or monitor to respond to touch and it doesn't, check the manufacture's website to make sure it supports touch and that you have the correct drivers installed.
To adjust how accurately your screen senses when you use a pen or finger:

NOT a documentary, 4.17.2010 Reviewer: Jason Bent (Churchville, MD)

XPW After The Fall, 4.17.2010 Reviewer: Zach Grigg (Green Mountain, IA)
"If you're thinking this is a documentery similar to the ""The Rise and Fall Of ECW"" on XPW. Think again! This is a cheaply put together compilation of random XPW chaos and matches from it's 4 year existence. Most of the material appears to be sourced from VHS and one segment in particular looks to have been recorded from an XPW TV airing on an over the air network. The matches themselves are not too bad
Could have been amazing, 4.17.2010 Reviewer: Jeroen Degens (Cheshire, England)
"Like many other said
Well..., 4.17.2010 Reviewer: Jamie Gelles (Johnstown, PA)

But I always saw the title for what it was

Along with the team title, the Buccaneers made it a clean sweep thanks to junior Laura Jansone (Jurmala, Latvia), who finished the event at even par (73=70=73=216) and was atop the individual leaderboard, six strokes better than Bambee Dela Paz of Cincinnati. Jansone's 216 matched her career best and ETSU record for three-round score.
The win marked Jansone's third individual collegiate title - also an ETSU women's golf record - and gave the Bucs their seventh team championship since the start of head coach Stefanie Shelton's tenure.
"I'm just very proud of the team," said

Marian Keyes 17 February 2012 - 10:57am
Marian Keyes shares her sticky recipe of goodness for her blokey Snickers cheesecake loaf
Snickers is an essentially blokey thing, no? I've always thought it's the sort of sweetmeat that men take a big chomp out of just before they abseil down the side of a mountain and, for a while, I thought it was the law that Snickers could only be eaten by men speeding past me on mountain bikes. Inspired by such rugged outdoorsiness, this is a hefty, hearty cheesecake, specially for the boys. The loaf format is an extra little touch on my part; I think it makes it even more manly.
For the base
150g milk chocolate
digestive biscuits
50g salted peanuts
75g butter
For the filling
250g mascarpone cheese
250g ricotta cheese
100g caster sugar
2 eggs
200ml sour cream
4 Snickers bars, chopped into chunks
To decorate
Squeezy toffee sauce out of a squeezy bottle
A generous handful of salted peanuts
Preheat the oven to 170ºC/325ºF/gas 3. Line a 1kg loaf tin with baking paper.
In a food processor, whizz the biscuits and peanuts so they form a rough-cut, rustic-looking mix; you should still be able to see parts of the peanuts. The first time I did it, I left the machine running so long that I accidentally made peanut butter and the whole thing went into a brown paste. Although I soldiered on, the base never really set, and I ended up having to do it all again. But that's okay, I make the mistakes so you don't have to.
Melt the butter and stir it through the crumbs. Even when you think it's fully mixed, give it a few more stirs. Pour the biscuit/peanut/ butter mix into the bottom of the loaf tin and pack down hard, using the base of a glass. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and cool, then refrigerate, preferably overnight.
To make the filling, preheat the oven again to 170ºC/325ºF/gas 3. Mix the two cheeses together, then add the sugar and eggs. Pour in the sour cream, then stir in the Snickers pieces. Pour in on top of the biscuit base.
Bake for an hour and a half, then turn off the oven and leave it sitting there for as long as you can bear. When you eventually take it out, you'll be delighted to see the top has developed a gorgeous fudgey look. Refrigerate overnight.
To get the cake out of the tin, you'll need your palette knife. Slide it gently between the baking paper and the side of the tin, loosening all the way along. Then – do your best here, but don't wreck your head – try to bend the palette knife slightly to get it actually under the base of the cake. When you feel you can't get any further without breaking the cake or starting to cry, call a halt, then use the overhanging edges of the baking paper as 'handles' to lift the entire cake out of the tin. You might have to to-and fro a little, as in, lift it a bit, then use the palette knife to do a bit more loosening, then lift it a bit more, until it's fully ready to emerge. Peel the paper off, then drizzle the toffee sauce and scatter the peanuts over the top. Cut into thick slices and serve to blokes.
Saved By Cake by Marian Keyes is out now, published by Michael Joseph.

ZF-1726: Make the "where" clause parameters more consistent
Old summary: Normalize the "where" clause parameters that are accepted by Zend_Db_Table's fetchAll/fetchRow and update/delete methods.
I noticed that the where parameter for update and delete methods for Zend_Db_Table work a little differently than those for the fetchAll and fetchRow methods. Looking at the code, this seems to be based on the fact that update/delete proxy their corresponding methods in Zend_Db whereas fetchAll/fetchRow use Zend_Db_Select to build their queries. As it is now, all four of the methods accept the where clause either as a string or as an indexed array of strings (though this method is undocumented for fetchAll/fetchRow). The strings from the array are ANDed together without being quoted. e.g.
$where = $table->getAdapter()->quoteInto('bug_id = ?', 1234);
$where[] = "reported_by = 'goofy'";
$where[] = "bug_status = 'OPEN'";
However fetchAll/fetchRow also accept another undocumented format for the "where" parameter which automatically does the quoting for you. It takes an associative array where the keys are the condition with a placeholder and the values are the values to be replaced. Values are automatically quoted and terms are joined together using ANDs. e.g.
$where = array('bug_status = ?' => 'NEW', 'reported_by = ?' => 'talawahdotnet');
$rows = $table->fetchAll($where);
It would be nice if theses interfaces where unified and documented so that they accepted all three formats.
Updated summary, formatted code in description, assigned to Bill Karwin.
By modfying the _whereExpr function on Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract the where clause for the Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::update/delete functions is structured in the same way as the where clause for the fetchRow/fetchAll fucntions.
$where can be:
1) An instance of a Zend_Db_Expr 2)A string 3)An array of strings (each one a where condition) 4)An array of where clauses where the array key is a where clause of the form " ?" and the value will be quoted into the key to replace the question mark. Eg: array('id = ?' => 123, 'created_date > ?' => '2007-08-27 09:34:08' )
The new function would be:
* Convert an array, string, or Zend_Db_Expr object
* into a string to put in a WHERE clause.
* @param mixed $where
* @return string
protected function _whereExpr($where)
if (empty($where)) {
return $where;
if (!is_array($where)) {
$where = array($where);
foreach ($where as $cond => &$term) {
// is $cond an int? (i.e. Not a condition)
if (is_int($cond)) {
// $term is the full condition
if ($term instanceof Zend_Db_Expr) {
$term = $term->__toString();
} else {
// $cond is the condition with placeholder,
// and $term is quoted into the condition
$term = $this->quoteInto($cond, $term);
$term = '(' . $term . ')';
$where = implode(' AND ', $where);
return $where;
Patch modifies Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract such that all where clauses use consistent arguments.
Resolved with attached patch
Reopening because it appears that the patch has not been applied to SVN; reassigning to [~bkarwin].
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Past due date
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Ralph, can you please look in to this and get some closure when you have a little time?
Will evaluate in 2 weeks
Fixed with the patch provided at r14358
Wil, I reopen it because it fails with Zend_Db_Adapter_Oracle and testAdapterUpdateWhereArrayWithVariable (only this adapter extends the update method). I will correct it in the next days.
It also fail for the 2 asssociated tests with Db2, Oracle and Pdo_Oci but just for a mistake in tests.
Fixed with SVN14365 & SVN14366

Katie Hammond owner of Cake Boutique since 2008 511 Main Street, Park City | 435-649-1256 1635 Redstone Center Dr. STE 120, Park City | 435-575-0620 shopcakeboutique.com
Owner Katie Hammond's passion for personal style is the driving force behind Cake, one of Utah's most exciting fashion boutiques."I was always going online and out-of-state to find clothing that I love," she says. So she opened Cake in 2008, as a collection of styles that satisfied her personal yen for pieces that suit the Salt Lake lifestyle—upscale but casual, with an eye on the outdoors.
"Every piece at Cake, whether it retails for $30 or $300, has been carefully selected to ensure its wearability and functionality," says Hammond—or "Aunt Cake," as her niece calls her. "We believe strongly in good craftsmanship and high quality materials—always combined with amazing style."
Hammond and her staff's passion for clothing has allowed Cake's staff to form close bonds with customers. "Our strong customer following goes back to our careful buying process," she says. "We have some amazing customers; we understand their lifestyles."
"Every piece is scrutinized with great passion and care. Our customers recognize and appreciate that we seek out the very best."
Lines like Citizens of Humanity, Free People, Rag&Bone and Cynthia Vincent keep Cake on the cutting edge, but not the far fringes of current fashion—perfect for the Park City lifestyle. And Hammond keeps the store fresh with frequent visits to boutique markets on both coasts. Through Park City seasons—a long, cold spring, a short summer and a slopes-to-bistro winter, Hammond keeps customers cozy and cool-looking in an array of layering options—boots, scarves, sweaters, vests and jackets.
Customer loyalty encouraged Cake's expansion last summer from its original Redstone Center location to a second shop at 511 Main St. Shoppers can browse part of Cake's selection of premium denim brands, cashmere sweaters and unique accessories from the comfort of their own homes at shopcakeboutique.com. And customers—who quickly become friends at Cake—can connect with the latest styles and arrivals in the shop on Cake's Facebook page and through the store's blog.

Two new Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Historical Markers will appear in Phillips County according to Tom Dupree, chairman of the Arkansas Sesquicentennial Commission. Dupree announced the ACWSC's approval of the applications for the markers Monday. The new historical markers will include recruitment of U.S. Colored Troops. This marker will commemorate the enlistment of African American troops into the Union Army at Helena. The second will honor the seven men from Helena who served as generals in the Confederate Army. Civil War Helena and the Helena-West Helena Advertising Promotion Commission are co-sponsoring the markers. The ACWSCS works with local partners to help tell the stories of how the Civil War affected communities around the state. The Commission hopes there will be at least one marker in each of Arkansas' 75 counties by the end of the sesquicentennial commemoration in 2015. For additional information concerning the state's sesquicentennial plans visit www.arkansascivilwar150.com or e-mail email@example.com.

Hello hc,
You'll find that the French MAS 49 mags and the French LMG mags are much like the BAR and FAL mags ie very wide at the front and using two sets of feed small lips. I believe that your AK mag will require verticle clearance at the front for the rotating bolt lugs (unlike the BAR, FAL, MAS 49 types).
That front verticle clearance issue and narrow area breach seem to indicate either an M-14, a MG-13, or a Hakim (or Danish Ljungman) box.

Art Meets Fashion is back in the Beehive this weekend with a chic Saturday night event showcasing work by local designers and artists. Ticketsare still available, and it's a don't-miss for art and fashion lovers (and honestly, who doesn't love art and fashion?).
"It's really quite an eclectic event," says Anne Cumming-Anderson, who curated the exhibition with Heidi M. Guess. Showing mediums ranging from video installations to photography, the event revolves across a "Deconstructing Venus" theme that flows throughout the runway shows and art exhibits.
All the pomp of high fashion will be on display, with runway shows featuring the clothing of local designers Shelly Huynh, Andrea Black, DesNeiges Gregory, Danny Nappi, Andrea Hansen, Mary Rino and Roberto Leone, and a selection of student designs from Salt Lake Fashion Institute. Twenty-five art exhibits by John Bell, Tyler Bloomquist, Trent Alvey, Shalee Cooper, Jason Wheatley, Dennis Mecham, Adrian Prazen, Anne Cummings-Anderson, Robin Ballard and Dennis Reynolds, Meredith Prevot, Trent Call, Gia Whitlock, Camilla Taylor, Sri Whipple, Kathryn Stedham, Hilary Wilkinson, Adrian Wagonner, Heidi M. Gress, Ashley Bennett Stoddard, Zuzanna Audette, Kat Cottam Martin, Jordan Halversen and Lindsay Frei will also be on display.
The festivities kicked off Thursday night with a private showing at the newly opened SLC Photo Collective of work by local photographer Zuzanna Audette, who also shot all the art for Art Meets Fashion. Her work will be sold during the main event Saturday, with half of all proceeds going to the YWCA of Salt Lake. (Ticket sales from AMF will also go to the organization.)
Of course, delicious nibblies from local restaurants and wine courtesy of Odom Spirits West will be served at The Art of Food & Wine tasting stations, which is sponsored by Salt Lake magazine. Fill up and dance the night away.
The venue is located at 304 W. 700 South in SLC and begins at 6 p.m. and lasts until 10 p.m. Tickets are $50 for general admission and $25 for students.

Born on November 18, 1927 (some sources note 1936), Hank Ballard wasn't the first to write smutty songs, but he was one of the more determinedly single-minded to exploit what he called the "raunch groove." His "Get It" was about, well, getting it. The title was startling coming after "The Shrine of St. Cecillia," the previous release by the Royals (as Ballard and the Midnighters were known prior to being labelmates with a "5" Royales). Its success, however, pointed the way. Ballard hit his stride with "Work With Me Annie," which is not about working. Reportedly toned down from its first draft, "Annie" still didn't leave much to the imagination: "Annie, please don't cheat/ Give me all my meat / Oooo-weee / So good to me /Work with me, Annie / Let's get it while the getting is good." Needless to say, it went to the top of the R&B record charts in early 1954 despite being banned by the FCC. In a 1987 interview, Ballard recalled: "But [controversy] made the record hot. All that carryin' on. 'What is this record about?' 'You can't hear it on the radio – banned!' I tell you, in the Boston area, the nuns and preachers were going around snatchin' my records off the jukebox in all the colleges."
Lasciviousness aside, the appeal of "Annie" also stems from Ballard's urgent vocal and the Midnighters' infectious backup; this would sound good no matter what they were singing about. The song's further claim to fame is that it launched a series of sequels and answer records. The Midnighters themselves provided "Annie Had A Baby" and "Annie's Aunt Fannie." Others chimed in with "Annie Kicked The Bucket," etc. A cleaned-up, gender-switched version of "Work With Me Annie" became Etta James' first hit. This, in turn, was covered by Georgia Gibbs, who had a bigger hit than James or the Midnighters with "Dance With Me Henry." The Midnighters counter-counter attacked with "Henry's Got Flat Feet (Can't Dance No More)." After which Annie settled down and became a housewife and mother to Roxanne. But that's another story. In January 2013, Aaron Neville released My True Story, featuring versions of doo wop classics that pre-date the rock and roll era. Co-produced by the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, My True Story included Neville's version of "Work with Me Annie."
Hank Ballard was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and the Midnighters were inducted in 2012. Discover more about the history and roots of rock and roll at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

This book is an overview of my experiences throughout the Philadelphia Jazz scene. Philadelphia has a rich history of Jazz legends and most of these musicians displayed in this book may not be legends, but will surely grab your ear and pull you toward the future of Philly Jazz. I have revised this from the original version and added the names of all of the musicians so you can keep an eye and ear out for things to come. If you're a fan of Philadelphia Jazz or just Jazz in general, you'll love this book as it takes you right into the front row of the performances. If you see another book expressing the wealth of Philadelphia Jazz musicians, I recommend you purchase it, but I think this will be the one that stands alone.
I capture musical performances, people, and spend plenty of time walking the streets looking for that images that will make me put my camera down after capturing it.

ZF-7764: Allow easy configuration of classResources
I have created a patch that allows to configure classResources same as plugins.
Options can be set via the resources configuration, where classResource also can be disabled. Like:
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
protected function _initCache()
$file = $this->getOption('defaultcachedir'). 'pluginLoaderCache.php';
if (file_exists($file)) {
include_once $file;
if ($this->getOption('plugin')) {
protected function _initSession() {
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace( $this->getOption('name') );
Zend_Registry::set( 'session', $session );
if (!isset($session->initialized)) {
$session->initialized = true;
With this config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
Where _initCache will not be called.
I like it :D
Only thing i dont get: Cache and Session are available Resource Plugins, why not only use this?
But the Disable feature is nice, would like to see this for Res-Plug-Ins too.
Well cache isn't available AFAIK and the session resource doesn't do what this does. BUT, this is only an example about how it would work. Resourceplugins you can disable already by just removing them from the resource config.
updated it
I would personally like to see some benchmarks about this. Though the feature is nice, it's not essential imho, and it has the potential of slowing down every app based on zend_app.
I did 2 runs of 10k, results are the patch hardly makes a difference (only a bit faster). See the attached results and files i ran the test with.
Notice that there is no checking if the options actually exists (so results in a notice error) in the 'old' implementation. An extra check would only make it slower.
Also, since you are saving the config into a local variable, more calls to the getOptions or a bigger config file will make it slower.

The Delaware Department of Labor will be receiving a $1.4 million grant from the United States Department of Labor to provide job training and job search assistance to displaced workers who have been challenged by the effects from the economic downturn.
The grant supports on-the-job training, customized training, registered apprenticeships and other approached that connect individuals with employers.
"This funding will help us break some of the barriers preventing some Delawareans from returning to work, including training that will assist those who can transfer skills or learn new skills and return to the workforce," said Gov. Jack Markell. "Our state Department of Labor has been focused on developing innovative programs that connect individuals with jobs that match their employable skills with potential employers. A combination of training, credentials, and work experience bring long-term employment success."

ZF-10705: Unable to use with php 5.1.6-27.el5
Fatal error: Call to undefined function spl_object_hash()..
This because spl_object_hash is supported on 5.2 +.
My web server is using 5.1.6-27. It appears difficult to get the server upgraded. Can you suggest a simple way of getting around this. I am unable to deploy my application.
That's why Zend Framework requires PHP 5.2.4+ to work correctly.
See here: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
Maybe, it's possible for you to use PHP with CGI. http://php.net/manual/en/security.cgi-bin.php.
Please ask on this Issue on IRC or the mailing list.
This issue does not affect the Zend Framework as is.
Closing as not an issue.
The minimal requirements for Zend Framework are detailed here http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
Please submit support requests to the fw-general mailing list, or in #zftalk on freenode IRC
You can use this work around:
if (!function_exists('spl_object_hash')) { /** * Returns the hash of the unique identifier for the object. * * @param object $object * @author Andreas Rein * @return string */ function spl_object_hash($object) { if (is_object($object)) { return md5((string)$object); } trigger_error(FUNCTION .

EUGENE, Ore. – University of Oregon cornerback Cliff Harris has been suspended indefinitely from the Ducks' football program following last weekend's incident that included citations for driving at excessive speeds and driving with a suspended license, head football coach Chip Kelly announced Wednesday. Kelly added that the suspension includes Harris sitting out a minimum of Oregon's 2011 season opener vs. LSU.
Kelly emphasized that the Fresno, Calif., native's status following the Sept. 3 game in Arlington, Texas' Cow-boys Stadium would be dependent on his adhering to standards set forth by the University's football program. He added that the sanctions imposed upon Harris were based upon the information currently available surrounding more than just a single event, and were independent of any legal rulings or potential violation of NCAA rules that have yet to be determined.
"Cliff's future clearly is in Cliff's hands," Kelly said. "Earning an opportunity to represent the University of Oregon and this football program certainly rests far beyond a player's ability on the field of play. Our behavior out of the spotlight often is more important and will be held to a higher standard. Until Cliff is able to conform to the same standards all of us must comply with, his status will remain unchanged."
The 2010 consensus All-America defensive back and punt returner led the nation with 23 passes broken up and was second in the country in punt returns with an 18.8-yard average, in addition to pacing the Pac-10 Conference with six interceptions.

|Tourist Creek Day Hike
Date Climbed: Aug 21, 2010
|I climbed Gannett Peak as a day hike from the Green River Lakes trailhead, using the Tourist Creek approach. Long day (just under 21 hours), with lots of boulder hopping. The Wind Rivers are an amazing place.

|Started from lower Titcomb at 7. Suffering from Altitude sickness on Bonny, I decided to press on. I made it to the summit saddle where I sat for 35 minutes contemplating defeat. I finally pushed to the summit. Coming back over bonny was gut wrenching literally. I puked 7 times. Perfect day with no real wind, and no afternoon thunderstorms.

|8/07/10 Dayhike with Jake and Matt. Scott also made a strong effort but began suffering altitude probelms and elected not to go beyond Bonney Pass. In addition to sun we also had wind, rain, snow, and lightening, but we managed to squeeze out a summit.
8/15/05 Absolutely perfect weather on summit day, with not a cloud in the sky. Got a 2:25 a.m. start from camp in upper Titcomb Basin; a little too early as it turned out, since we ended up waiting just below Bonney Pass for about 30 minutes until there was enough light to study our route across the glaciers. The snow bridge over the Gooseneck Glacier bergschrund was getting thin, but enough to get the job done. Summited just before 8:00 a.m., and back to camp in upper Titcomb by 12:30, followed by much lounging around.

|Camped with the ladies before the 1st of the Titcomb lakes, they had no climbing experience so I solo'd it the next day prepared to turn around if the glacier looked to bad. Only saw 2 crevasses aside from the 'schrund and only 1 could have really fit a body. No rope would have been necessary in these conditions. Stupendous day, clear warm. Got an early start and the crampons bit well, didn't get soft until ~ titcomb lakes, but only for a mile til I it ended and I could wander back to camp. Added Muriel peak near Bonney pass because I still felt great, fun little 4th class side trip with excellent views.

|Pain, mosquitoes, and elation.

|We summited at 12:30 after a long, grueling hike on the Glacier Trail from the Dubois side. Snow and bergchrund were solid on the way up, but conditions got mushy on the way down after the sun got higher. Beautiful scenery and outstanding views from the summit. We were caught in the same lightning storm that injured 17 climbers on the Grand Teton on the hike out, but it did not affect us. The 5 days in the Wind Rivers proved to be my most rewarding climb ever with Dale, Brian, Dave, and Ed. HP #42.

|Climbed the Gooseneck route with Jan on a perfect day with cloud cover that kept the snow from softening up too much; had the top to myself for half an hour before being joined by my climbing partner and the east coast group of GMoney, Mutha-Z, T-mail, and Bob - congrats guys!

|This old skier got the first snowshoe lesson of his life this week when splattki convinced me to strap on some gear (that still looks a lot like dried beavertails) and bushwhack some 40+ miles in and out of Titcomb Basin to the summit of Gannett Peak and back.

|Hard day- but excellent
Date Climbed: Jun 24, 2010
|We took two days of heavy snowshoeing to get in to Island Lake, then did Gannett in great (if a little too warm) weather. Left camp at 1am, summitted at 8:45 in slushy snow, got back to camp at 4:45. Can you say tired?

|#50 (state highpoint) for me
Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2002
|It took me 31 years to get all of the 50 state highpoints. It took me 2 times to summit Gannett (and McKinley, and Hood, etc.). The Wind Rivers are so beautiful-I want to go back again to fish!
