Mount Elbert Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Nice intro to world of 14rs
Date Climbed: May 25, 1994
|First time above 14k. First (and only) time experiencing the pain of snowblindness. Approaching the summit and viewing the sea of peaks beyond was absolutely amazing!
|Posted Mar 7, 2007 6:32 pm
|south TH
Date Climbed: Mar 3, 2007
|Part of the 14ers.com winter gathering. Out of 28+ people who showed up that morning, I believe 14-15 of us summited.
This was my third winter summit of Elbert and sixth time summiting overall. Couldn't ask for better weather!
|Posted Mar 5, 2007 8:39 pm
|Regular Route
|It was a crowded day at the summit. Nice hike.
|Posted Feb 26, 2007 5:07 am
|Great Solo Hike
Date Climbed: Jul 19, 2006
|A great day for a hike--blue skies and a light breeze all the way. I really enjoyed the hike below treeline and the summit views were great. In spite of it being a Wednesday, the trail was quite crowded with people heading up as I was headed down.
|Posted Feb 25, 2007 6:15 pm
|Midnight summit
Date Climbed: Jul 9, 2006
|We decided to beat the lightning storms/weather by climbing at night. The next day it was completely shrouded in clouds and lightning storms. I managed to get a few minute long exposures by moonlight. On a side note...my blue heeler puppy went with us and got to be carried down part of the way.
|Posted Feb 21, 2007 5:11 pm
Date Climbed: Aug 25, 2004
|Southeast Ridge, 10 miles. Elbert is a good hike with great views. I've done both the Northeast Ridge & the Southeast Ridge. I'd recommend the Southeast Ridge, it is much less crowded on any given day.
|Posted Feb 7, 2007 3:55 am
|Good times
Date Climbed: Jul 28, 2004
|A decent hike that was pretty uneventful until we met tons of people on the top. A good one to check off the list.
|Posted Jan 25, 2007 6:12 am
|SE Ridge Aug/98
|Hiked this one after Longs as the 2nd CO 14er. We didn't see anyone till we arrived at the summit.
|Posted Jan 21, 2007 10:06 pm
|Anya Jingle
|Via Black Cloud Trail
Date Climbed: Jul 10, 2002
|Our first Fourteener ever and enjoyed every moment of it. Bagged South Elbert along the way. The two of us plus our dog had the main summit all to ourselves for the whole half hour. Hard to believe, since it seems to be one of the most popular summits in CO.
|Posted Jan 13, 2007 11:05 pm
|Midnight climb
Date Climbed: Aug 4, 2001
|We started this climb at about 2am from the South Elbert TH and arrived at the summit right at sunrise.
|Posted Jan 13, 2007 7:38 pm
|Mt Elbert Dec 30, 2006
Date Climbed: Dec 30, 2006
|Climbed from the parking lot out on the road to Twin Lakes as there was lots of snow. Snowshoes to the ridge then the wind had blown it bare. 5 hrs up, 2 1/2 down, 11.2 miles RT 4,850 vertical. Great climb but very windy after noon.
|Posted Jan 2, 2007 10:03 pm
|quick one
Date Climbed: Jun 18, 1989
|A bit unexciting for Colorado's highest peak
|Posted Dec 17, 2006 4:08 pm
|thunderstorm direct
Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2000
|Starting after noon, the ranger or tourist chief was a bit surprised that I intended to dayhike and summit that same day. As would be predicted by any Colorado local, the clouds came in and the static built up in the air. I took cover and waited out the storm. I was able to summit and had to overcome the slow onset of AMS. Within 24 hours the road trip finished and I was back in Indiana.
|Posted Nov 13, 2006 5:24 am
|Summer X3
Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2006
|Had the oppertunity to guide children (11-15)up this peak on 3 seperate occasions this summer. Encountered fierce lightning and gropel on July 17th above timberline everyone thankfully got back safe.
|Posted Nov 8, 2006 7:26 pm
|Jerry L
|Snow and ice. Pretty nice.
|Posted Oct 8, 2006 4:24 pm
|Great Climb
Date Climbed: Jun 3, 2006
|Great hike, great weather, only a few on the summit.
|Posted Sep 28, 2006 4:32 pm
|last 14er
Date Climbed: Aug 20, 2006
|This was the last 14er I climbed before moving out of Colorado. I climbed it with my brother on that day, and it was his first 14er (but 12th high point).
|Posted Sep 22, 2006 8:08 pm
|North trail
Date Climbed: Sep 21, 1991
|Posted Sep 20, 2006 11:57 pm
|A snowy hike
Date Climbed: Oct 30, 2004
|My 10th 14er (after I tried it and failed as my first). A light snow covered the mountains, which made the hike a tad slow, but the view from the top spectacular!
|Posted Sep 14, 2006 2:59 am
|Great Day on Elbert
Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2006
|A bit steeper than anticipated, but made it in 5 hrs. Great day on the summit!

Laura and Jeremy both grew up in the Cayman Islands and were so overjoyed to be able to travel back to the Islands for their wedding. They hosted an intimate ceremony with family and friends at Kaibo on Grand Cayman's North Side. Their guests were spoiled with a boat ride across the North Sound, so cool to have the guests walk right off the pier and be able to see the entire wedding venue all decorated and looking fabulous. After the ceremony we went off for some portraits with their super fun wedding party at a few gorgeous spots. It was an amazing day!

I am having this issue with using Geomtry that is returned from a WCF service. As part of the service, I have added a service reference for the map service that I am using in this project. I am trying to return 'ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Geometry as a return type but when I assign the Geomtry to my result, it comes back with this error: 'Geometry' is an ambiguous reference between 'GIS.Services.Data.BoundaryMapService.Geometry' and 'ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Geometry'. I am not sure what needs to be done to resolve this issue. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks Jay

Canyon Beachwear sells swimsuits, bikinis, separates and accessories from a wide range of designers. Let's look at a mere few of these fabulous designers and what makes their swimwear so very awesome:
Check out designer beachwear by Beauty & the Beach, particularly if the classic "crocheted" look is totally your thing. After all, Jerry Hall's decision to put on a crocheted bikini and strut down the coastline is how the icon was discovered! Designer Katie Wilson is the face behind the brand, and has been creating high-quality crocheted beach goodness since 2008. Nifty!
Ms. Odabash's work is renowned through the designer beachwear industry, and with good reason--her exotic, glamorous designs never go out of style. British Vogue named her swimsuits "the Ferraris of the bikini world," and her iconic zebra-print bikini was a best-seller in the Victoria's Secret catalog. If visiting beaches around the world is a favorite hobby, this designer's duds are suitcase must-haves. Nice!
Vitamin A's designer beachwear is favorited by Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson among others, with the brand getting its start in 2000 thanks to the "little black bikini." Renowned for hip-slimming, bust-enhancing, all-around-awesome designs, Vitamin A bikinis also feature flat seams and are synonymous with "effortless sexy." Awesome.
A designer beachwear favorite since 1975, Seafolly is all about emphasizing the Australian beach bunny look. One of the most widely-recognized swimwear brands, Seafolly offers plenty of innovative designs, including bikinis, cover-ups, one-pieces and lots and lots of accessories. From the "Black Goddess Boyleg One Piece" to the "White Beach Crush Penny Lane Maxi" and beyond, Seafolly has something for everybody! Fabulous!
If you're all about eco-friendly designer swimwear, Eco Swim by Aqua Green is the option for you. The brand's goal is to be the most "sustainable swimwear manufacturer on the planet" and therefore creates a wide range of products made from recycled, sustainable materials. Options include dresses, tunics, one-pieces, board shorts and more. How delightfully green!
These are just some of the many, many fabulous brands carried by Canyon Beachwear! Quality designer swimwear lasts a heck of a long time in addition to looking all kinds of fabulous, so pick an option or three and enjoy feeling confident and super-duper sexy when playing in sand and surf! For more designer options, please visit Canyon Beachwear today.

With summer just around the corner people may find themselves scrambling to find the quickest most effective solution the getting rid of those last few stubborn pounds. During the May 7 episode of the Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz shared some immediate solutions to burning and blocking fat.
Litramine is a combination of natural plant fibers and is enriched with fibers from the Acacia plant. This new supplement is known to aid the body in flushing out fat through digestion and forces fat out through elimination. Litramine effectively blocks fat absorption which naturally forces it out of the body.
Dr. Oz recommends taking 1 gram with each meal daily. It would be wise to consult a physician before taking a new supplement.
Garlic green tea
Drink one cup garlic green tea per day to recharge your pancreas and help eliminate fat. An unhealthy diet and a high sugar levels can lead to fat storage particularly in the belly. The infusion of garlic may help regulate blood sugar levels while green tea is known to block fat.
Dr. oz recommends steeping green tea in how water for 5 minutes then adding 2-3 whole garlic cloves to the tea and allowing it to steep for 3-5 minutes. Remove the cloves and drink the tea after breakfast or lunch.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C naturally aids the body in turning fat into energy making it easier to burn it off. Add at least 75 mg to your diet daily to speed up weight loss. Vitamin C can be found in lemons, grapefruit, papaya, oranges, kiwi, broccoli, and strawberries.
Vinegar helps the body prevent fat accumulation. Drinking white vinegar after eating carbs and sugar helps to prevent sugar spikes and fat forming in the body.
Dr. Oz recommends having 2 tablespoons of white vinegar after every meal. Vinegar is highly acidic and some may be sensitive to vinegar ingested alone. Diluting your vinegar in water may be easier for some to ingest comfortably.
Dr. Oz also co authored a book called "YOU: The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide to the Body That Will Make You Healthier and Younger. In this #1 New York Times bestseller Dr. Oz and Dr. Michael F. Rozen share tips on how to gain complete control over your body and health.

Dolphins win coin toss, get the 8th pick

The coin toss for the number 8 slot in the NFL draft was held today and the Dolphins won it. This may not sound like a big deal to some, but it could be key. Let's a player like Blackmon (or someone else) were to slip for some reason and a team in need of a WR wanted to trade up just in case they thought the Panthers would snatch him so they trade with Miami to ensure they get him. Not saying that we will trade down but its nice to have options.Like This Article ? :

Kris and Bruce Jenner Separate Seating at Clippers Game Fuels Split Rumors
Kris and Bruce Jenner sat in "separate seats" at the Clippers-Nuggets game on Christmas night, reports the New York Post, which claims the incident is a "troubling" sign that the pair is headed for a split.
According to the paper, "The Kardashian Klan was seen sitting courtside as they cheered on" son-in-law Lamar Odom's Clippers, but Bruce was "noticeably absent" from the group.
The tab goes on to note that the former Olympian was "seated one row back from the rest of his family, conveniently stationed between two gorgeous women, adding fuel to the rumors that the reality TV power couple could be heading straight for splitsville."
Well, that's an interesting theory.
But instead of speculating about what the Jenners' basketball seating arrangement means for their relationship, Gossip Cop decided to check the facts.
In doing so, we learned that Bruce was initially sitting next to Kris at the game, but gave up his seat when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West arrived so that the couple could sit together.
There's simply no truth to the Kris and Bruce breakup rumors, as desperate as the tabloids are for drama within the reality TV household.

There are doctrines and beliefs that creep into foundational, religious practices that are based neither on fact nor Scripture. Some of them are relatively harmless – relegating their negative impacts to heated quarrels between those of opposing views. Others can lead to an eternity without God and being cast into the lake of fire – such as the view point that all religions are like separate roads up a mountain; they may go a different way, but in the end they all lead to the same place.
Though not in religious doctrine, there is a general belief today that "separation of church and state" is in the U.S. Constitution and thus, any recognition of religion in public, whether that be a prayer, display of the Ten Commandments, or a manger scene display on public property, is unconstitutional. The reality is "separation of church and state" is not found anywhere in the U.S. Constitution or its Bill of Rights.
The principle of "separation of church and state" as a judicially determining factor was first cited in Everson v Board if Education decided on February 10, 1947. This case was not about prayer in school or the Ten Commandments in a courtroom or even manger scenes. In this case, a New Jersey taxpayer challenged the validity of the district to use tax payer revenues to reimburse parents for the fares they paid to transport their children to Catholic schools.
In this decision, Justice Hugo Black wrote the majority opinion in which he cited another U.S. Supreme Court case, Reynolds v. United States (1878). In Reynolds v United States, George Reynolds, a resident of the Utah territory and a Mormon was convicted of polygamy. Reynolds' defense was that his religion required him to marry multiple wives and if he did not, he would faced eternal damnation and thus the law against polygamy violated his religious freedoms and was therefore, unconstitutional. Chief Justice Morrison Waite wrote the opinion in a unanimous decision that "the only question which remains is, whether those who make polygamy a part of their religion are excepted from the operation of the statute. If they are, then those who do not make polygamy a part of their religious belief may be found guilty and punished, while those who do, must be acquitted and go free. This would be introducing a new element into criminal law. Laws are made for the government of actions, and while they cannot interfere with mere religious belief and opinions, they may with practices. Suppose one believed that human sacrifices were a necessary part of religious worship, would it be seriously contended that the civil government under which he lived could not interfere to prevent a sacrifice? Or if a wife religiously believed it was her duty to burn herself upon the funeral pile of her dead husband, would it be beyond the power of the civil government to prevent her carrying her belief into practice?
"So here, as a law of the organization of society under the exclusive dominion of the United States, it is provided that plural marriages shall not be allowed. Can a man excuse his practices to the contrary because of his religious belief? [98 U.S. 145, 167] To permit this would be to make the professed doctrines of religious belief superior to the law of the land, and in effect to permit every citizen to become a law unto himself. Government could exist only in name under such circumstances."
What made Reynolds v United States of such interest is that Chief Justice Waite made the following observation, "Mr. Jefferson afterwards, in reply to an address to him by a committee of the Danbury Baptist Association (8 id. 113), took occasion to say: 'Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God; that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship; that the legislative powers of the government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore man to all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.' Coming as this does from an acknowledged leader of the advocates of the measure, it may be accepted almost as an authoritative declaration of the scope and effect of the amendment thus secured. Congress was deprived of all legislative power over mere opinion, but was left free to reach actions which were in violation of social duties or subversive of good order."
The Danbury Baptist Association was concerned that the government might enact laws that would punish men for their religious beliefs. So, they wrote a letter to then President Thomas Jefferson expressing their concern. Jefferson's entire response then became part of Reynolds v United States. But in Justice Black's opinion of Everson v Board of Education (where he cited Reynolds v United States), the only part of Jefferson's letter he quoted were the eight words "a wall of separation between church and State," thus leaving out the Danbury Baptist Association's and Jefferson's entire context.
Interestingly, Justice Black also commented, "The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion. Neither a state nor the Federal Government can, openly or secretly, participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups …" So, he is acknowledging the First Amendment's intent is to keep the government out of religion.
In TOWN OF GREECE, NEW YORK v. GALLOWAY ET AL. (decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in May 2014), citizens who attend meetings to speak on local issues filed suit, alleging that the town violated the First Amendment's Establishment Clause by preferring Christians over other prayer givers and by sponsoring sectarian prayers. They sought to limit the town to "inclusive and ecumenical" prayers that referred only to a "generic God." Supreme Court Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority stating, "Legislative prayer, while religious in nature, has long been understood as compatible with the Establishment Clause. Marsh v. Chambers, 463 U. S. 783, 792. In Marsh, the Court concluded that it was not necessary to define the Establishment Clause's precise boundary in order to uphold Nebraska's practice of employing a legislative chaplain because history supported the conclusion that the specific practice was permitted. The First Congress voted to appoint and pay official chaplains shortly after approving language for the First Amendment, and both Houses have maintained the office virtually uninterrupted since then. See id., at 787–789, and n. 10. A majority of the States have also had a consistent practice of legislative prayer. Id., at 788–790, and n. 11. There is historical precedent for the practice of opening local legislative meetings with prayer as well. Marsh teaches that the Establishment Clause must be interpreted"by reference to historical practices and understandings." County of Allegheny v. American Civil Liberties Union, Greater Pittsburgh Chapter, 492 U. S. 573, 670 (opinion of KENNEDY, J.). Thus, any test must acknowledge a practice that was accepted by the Framers and has withstood the critical scrutiny of time and political change."
Justice Kennedy also wrote, "463 U. S., at 786. Dictum in County of Allegheny suggesting that Marsh permitted only prayer with no overtly Christian references is irreconcilable with the facts, holding, and reasoning of Marsh, which instructed that the 'content of the prayer is not of concern to judges,' provided 'there is no indication that the prayer opportunity has been exploited to proselytize or advance any one, or to disparage any other, faith or belief.'" So, Justice Kennedy is saying prayers have long been a part of various U.S. Government practices and are allowable as long as there is no intent to actively promote one form of religion over another and as such, is constitutional.
The reality recognized by the courts is that historically, oppressive governments have employed mandated religions to punish those of no faith or of differing faiths. The first amendment was designed to protect citizens from government mandated religion.
During the very first presidential inauguration, President George Washington and members of the Congress attended a service at St. Paul's Chapel in New York City. Many of those were responsible for the Bill of Rights. Furthermore, in his first inaugural address, President Washington said, "... it would be peculiarly improper to omit in this first official Act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the Universe, who presides in the Councils of Nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect, that his benediction may consecrate to the liberties and happiness of the People of the United States, a Government instituted by themselves for these essential purposes: and may enable every instrument employed in its administration to execute with success, the functions allotted to his charge. In tendering this homage to the Great Author of every public and private good I assure myself that it expresses your sentiments not less than my own; nor those of my fellow-citizens at large, less than either. No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency." Would our founding fathers have violated their fundamental beliefs on such a historic day if they believed that separation of church and state meant all government affairs had to be secular?
The U.S. Constitution itself contains the words, "Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven." I suppose if references to Christianity were not allowed in U.S. government, then the U.S. Constitution would itself be unconstitutional, which of course is ridiculous. It is obvious to me that the founding fathers, the writers of our Constitution, did not consider public prayer or profession of God a violation of the Constitution.

|Chuck Norris approves my running logic
Over the past 4 to 5 weeks, I've been dealing with light-headedness and headaches, enough to make me feel like I need to lay down and rest for a bit at least once a day, which is awesome when you have a toddler. It got annoying enough to bring up to my OB last week and he told me to go see my primary care doctor about it, even though I'm positive it's pregnancy related. He also told me I wasn't anemic (and that's my primary theory on what's wrong) based on my 9 week pregnancy blood test...all the way back in March. I didn't feel like arguing, so I just went home and called my primary doctor and made an appointment.
Today was that appointment and instead of getting a doctor who was coming off a night shift and was too tired and busy to listen to me, I got the Chicken Little of physician assistants and a 2 hour appointment (all with a toddler assistant). I told her my symptoms and she decided that I needed a full work up, including heart testing, even I told her I just wanted my blood iron checked. I tried to explain that if my heart was having any issues, then I shouldn't be able to still run 8 miles and feel fine, but I guess I should stop speaking in Swahili because she didn't seem to understand my logic.
Luckily, I'm seeing an actual doctor next week to discuss the results of the ridiculous amount of testing done today and I'm 98% sure his treatment plan will be for me to give birth in November and then feel fine again. My dream is that it's something simple like anemia that can be treated with a supplement and maybe diet changes (although my food intake is still really limited by morning sickness). Otherwise I'm just going to have to man up and quit my bitching. A little dizziness never killed anyone, right?
|You have to be drunk for this to make sense
The best part of the whole appointment was when the PA walked in and said "You look so pale and tired!" Thanks lady. I tried to explain that I don't normally look that shitty, but I was up at midnight changing a poopy diaper and then up again at 4:30am-ish with a moany teething kid and never got back to sleep because the moaning didn't stop...and again she didn't listen and thought it was another sign of my impending doom.
After 2 long hours of trying to keep a toddler content in an examination room, I decided to bag my run today and just nap instead. I needed a day off anyway, so it was an easy decision. The dog was more than happy to keep me company for a nap. I think her recovery is spoiling me because I didn't take her for a walk today (it was pouring rain) and she doesn't seem to care. I wonder if this is what it's like to own a normal dog?
Faith was ridiculously high energy today. There must be something about rainy weather that makes kids nuts.
|My shirt is right, I'M AWESOME!
|Daddy's shoes are the best for stomping
At least if I'm going to have to lay down to deal with feeling light headed, now I have a new book to read. Kari sent Peanut and I a present in the mail and it's pretty perfect:
|Guess which is mine and which is the dog's?
I feel like I've heard so many people talk about reading "50 Shades of Grey" in a negative light that I have really low expectations, so that probably means I'll enjoy it. From what I hear, this could be made into a pretty interesting show on HBO, mostly because the only thing HBO likes more than violence is explicit sex.
I also got a Kindle Fire as an early birthday present from my mom over the weekend and it's pretty much the most fun thing ever. My husband has developed quite the Angry Birds addiction already. It's hilarious how much he enjoys using the birds as bombs and Faith is his biggest fan/spectator. Every time he hits anything she cries out "BOOM!" and then laughs. The Kindle Fire was a life saver at the doctor office this morning because there are so many toddler friendly apps for things like learning the alphabet.
I've never had a smart phone or tablet (neither has my husband) so what apps are "must haves"? So far, I really enjoy Words with Friends and Draw Something, but I could also use suggestions about favorite apps for toddlers!

Poultry Companies Invited To Apply For Safety Recognition Awards
Poultry industry facilities with outstanding safety programs are invited to apply for recognition under the Joint Poultry Industry Safety Award Program.The program is open to National Chicken Council, National Turkey Federation and U.S. Poultry & Egg Association members with poultry or egg processing plants, hatcheries, feed mills and rendering facilities that have injury and illness rates below the industry average for three consecutive years, through the implementation of innovative and effective programs.The poultry processing total recordable illness and injury rate for 2011 was 5.8 cases per 100 full-time workers (per year). Poultry processing's 2011 rate represents a more than 74 percent improvement from 1994 (the oldest data available on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics website).Doug Britton, manager of the Georgia Tech Research Institute's Agricultural Technology Research Program and one of the award program judges, states, "As consumer demand changed over the years, the product mix provided by the poultry industry changed to skinless, boneless, marinated or otherwise further processed, value-added products. Over the last 30 years, the unique worker safety challenges presented by these changes have been proactively tackled by the industry through improved equipment technology, ergonomic solutions and effective employee training and safety programs. The notable reductions in recordable injuries and illnesses are not surprising given the industry's commitment to providing a safe workplace."Award program application forms are available by clicking on the www.uspoultry.org website. The application deadline for the 2013 awards is March 29. The annual awards will be presented during the National Safety Conference for the Poultry Industry to be held Aug. 19-21, 2013, at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort, Amelia Island, Fla.The Joint Industry Safety and Health Council is made up of members from the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, National Chicken Council and National Turkey Federation. Collectively, the three organizations represent 95 percent of the nation's poultry products, and their members generate more than 1.3 million total U.S. jobs.

Microsoft has come up with a great offering in the Wireless Laser Desktop 6000 Keyboard and Mouse set. Anyone looking for a wireless desktop set up should give this one some serious consideration. Performance of both the mouse and keyboard were better than I had hoped for, and both maintained a strong signal no matter where in the room I used them from. The Wireless Laser 6000 mouse has also put to rest all of my apprehension over wireless mice in fast paced FPS video games.
Overwhelming amount of features, extreme programmability, great looks and feel, and high bang for the buck ratio, I give the Microsoft Wireless Laser 6000 Desktop Keyboard and Mouse set up a final score of 4.5 out of 5 stars, and the rating of "Highly Recommended."

Watch our video for top tips on how to tow safely and with confidence
It has long been a British institution loved my millions and now a new study shows the caravanning holiday is coming back in a big way, with one in five Brits planning a caravanning or camping holiday this year.
If you are planning on fixing a caravan to the back of your car, it's vital that you make sure you know what you're doing first.
Research commissioned by Nissan found that four out of ten people who tow caravans, trailers or boats have had no training on how to do so. Many also feel that they don't get any respect on the road from other drivers, with six out of ten saying other drivers treat them without due care, consideration or attention, while 40% say they have felt pressured into taking risks as a result of other driver behavior.
Are you towing for the first time, or just fancy a refresher on how to tow safely? Either way, watch our video, with Tim Shallcross from the Institute of Advanced Motorists and Nissan's Head of 4x4, Rachael Gregory. They share their tips and advice from how to load, manoeuvring whilst towing, hitching and unhitching to making sure your vehicle is powerful enough to tow the caravan (the Nissan X-Trail for example can pull 2200 kg,) so that you reach your destination safely.

????????????FEDERAL WAY, Wash. ?C?Arizonaˇ?s Albert Subirats won an individual national championship in the 100 fly, took second in the 100 back and helped take home a second-place finish in the 200 medley relay, as the UA menˇ?s swimming and diving team extended its first-place lead on the second day of the NCAA Championships at the King County Aquatic Center outside of Seattle on Friday.
The Wildcatsˇ? 376 points leads second-place Texasˇ? 285 and third-place Calˇ?s 231 with one final day of events scheduled for Saturday.
"It was a real team effort tonight,ˇ± said head coach Frank Busch. ˇ?It culminated with the men in the 800 free relay. When they are asked to swim on a relay they really know how to 'relay up.' That's when I know we (as a coaching staff) have done something right when the individual stands up and swims for the team."
????????????Subirats took home the 100 fly title in a time of 45.07, coming up just shy of his NCAA record mark of 44.57 but finishing nearly a full second faster than his preliminary time of 45.93 from earlier in the day.
????????????The senior added to his outstanding day with a second-place finish and 17 points scored in the 100 back, touching in a time of 45.40. Teammate Jake Tapp finished just a little over a second later in the championship final (46.44), good enough for a fourth-place, while Cory Chitwood added a 12th?place finish in the consolation heat.
????????????UA opened the second day finals with a second-place finish in the 200 medley relay.

Has Bernanke Got It Wrong Over Oil Price Policy?
Oil shocks trigger recessions not so much because prices have gone up sharply and suddenly, but because of how central banks respond.
In other words, by trying to stifle perceived inflationary threats from price increases, central banks overreact by tightening monetary policy too much.
This might merely be an interesting theory were it not presented in a 1997 paper co-written by one Ben Bernanke, "Systematic Monetary Policy and the Effects of Oil Price Shocks."
As it stands, Mr. Bernanke is the chairman of the Federal Reserve, the world's most powerful central bank. And the price of oil, not to mention other commodities, has rocketed since last summer. Which suggests the last thing the Fed is likely to do is to tighten policy as inflation gets pushed up by fast rising food and energy prices.
Most central bankers agree that inflationary wage-price spirals can be triggered by supply shocks if an economy is operating at near full capacity or close to full capacity and labor agreements are inflation-indexed, as happened in the 1970s. Indeed, something similar is happening in China and India, where large wage settlements are being reported in response to commodity price rises, while the European Central Bank fears the same for Germany.
But in the U.S. and Britain, the problem—as U.S. and British central bankers see it—isn't so much that commodity prices will feed through into more generalized inflation, but that they will cause further declines in domestic consumption. That's because food and energy prices are acting like a tax on workers who have no power to negotiate significant wage rises because of high rates of unemployment.
So far, the story seems reasonably solid.
But what if past central bank policy, namely zero interest rates and quantitative easing, are major drivers of commodity price inflation?
Mr. Bernanke denies this is the case. He argues commodity prices are responding to rising demand from developing markets, whose economies are booming.
That argument is disingenuous. Commodity prices surged with the initial Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2008 and then again following Mr. Bernanke's heavy hints that he would launch a second round of quantitative easing last summer. Low or negative real interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-income generating real assets, like commodities and precious metals.
By Mr. Bernanke's own admission, the Fed is using unconventional monetary policy to force investors into taking more risk and thereby into kick-starting the economy. It's hard to see how he can claim QE is behind the rally in equity prices but not in commodity prices.
Which takes us back to Mr. Bernanke's 1997 paper.
If QE is a major factor in causing commodity prices to rise rather than just the state of the global economy, commodity prices are likely to have moved away from what economic fundamentals justify. In which case, they will, in fact, cause a significant slowdown in growth. In other words, the Fed's initial policy action will have caused exactly the thing the Fed wants to prevent: volatility of output.
Undoubtedly, if this happens, the Fed will respond with yet another round of quantitative easing.
Rinse, wash, repeat…

An Introduction to JRockit Mission Control
Pages: 1, 2
The JRA is a Java application and JVM profiler. It has been around for quite some time within the JRockit development team, and was originally created to let the JRockit developers find good ways to optimize the JVM based on real-world applications, but it has proven very useful to customers for solving problems in both production and development. There are many reasons why JVM users simply can't give JVM developers access to, or hand over, their entire applications. The JRA works like a flight recorder; it records how the Java application and the JVM behave for a preset period of time. The recording can then be analyzed using the JRA application, where, for example, call traces for hot methods, bad synchronization, and other important application/JVM behavior can be analyzed. The BEA Support organization uses JRA recordings from customers on a regular basis to help BEA customers resolve issues.
JRA consists of two parts: the recording engine in the JVM, and the GUI application you can use to analyze the resulting recording. The recording engine uses several sources of information including the JRockit Hot Spot Detector (also used by the optimization engine to decide what methods to optimize), the operating system, the JRockit Memory System (most notably the garbage collector), and the JRockit lock profiler, if enabled.
With the JRA tool you can easily analyze the information contained in the JRA recording by graphical means (see Figure 3). Graphs show pause times, heap usage, and the committed heap size during the recording period. Any individual garbage collection (GC) can be selected and very detailed information about that particular garbage collection is provided. You get call traces for the hot methods—not only the call traces leading up to the call of the method, but also the call traces portraying what was usually called next. The call traces also show whether or not an optimized version of the method was called.
A heap histogram is taken at the beginning and at the end of the recording, revealing the heap usage per class, for instances of classes occupying more than 0.5 percent of the used heap space. The collected heap information is also used to render pie charts showing heap utilization.
The overhead while recording is very low—typically less than two percent. However, since JRA is forcing a full garbage collection at the beginning and at the end of the recording to generate the heap histogram data, there may be a spike at the beginning and at the end of a recording.
There are several ways to start a JRA recording:
JRA recordings can also be triggered from the Management Console using Notification Rules; for example, a rule can be created to start a JRA recording when the CPU load has been above 90 percent for a minute.
As you can tell, the JRA is a powerful JVM and Java application profiler that provides:
For more information about using the JRA, see the JRockit Mission Control documentation.
The JRockit Memory Leak Detector is a tool to help you quickly discover memory leaks. Even though the automatic memory management of Java frees the developers of the burden to explicitly allocate and free memory used, memory leaks can still occur if the program keeps referencing objects that are no longer of any use.
The JRockit Memory Leak detector gives the user a trend analysis to quickly spot even slow memory leaks. The trend analysis shows the heap usage of your application per class. It will tell you how much space instances of the type are using, what fraction of the heap they are occupying, how many instances there are, and how quickly that usage is growing in bytes per second.
The JRockit Memory Leak Detector also provides the means to quickly drill down to the cause of the leak. A suspect type can be selected in the trend analysis table, and all the types having instances pointing to the selected type can be shown in a graph (see Figure 4). The nodes of the graph can be arbitrarily expanded to let the user back-track to what is ultimately causing the references to be held. Instances of a class can be shown and introspected, and all instances pointing to a selected instance can be shown in an instance graph. Allocation traces can be turned on so that all allocations of a certain class can be traced.
For examples and guidance on how to use this tool, see the JRockit Mission Control documentation, and the Memory Leaks, Be Gone! article on dev2dev.
When a Memory Leak Detector session is started, a Memory Leak Server (MLS) starts. Depending on the JDK version of the JRockit you connect to, either the JMX connector in JLMEXT (5.0), or the Rockit Management Protocol (RMP) (1.4) will be used. Note that the protocols differ and that there are differences in networking characteristics and security. A Memory Leak Server is a native server with which the rest of the communication during the session takes place. On the client side a Java API is used to communicate with the native server (see Figure 5). The reason for using a native server is that if a serious memory leak condition occurs and JRockit runs out of Java heap, JRockit will no longer be able to run Java code.
The Memory Leak Detector piggybacks on the mark phase of the garbage collector, adding some book-keeping to record the heap histograms (the memory statistics of the heap aggregated per class) and generate the trend analysis. One common solution to finding memory leaks in competing tools is to take several snapshots of the entire heap of an entire system, and then compare the snapshots. In a system with hundreds of gigabytes of heap or a system in a production environment, this approach may not be feasible. With the JRockit Memory Leak Detector, only the information you are interested in is sent over the wire, making the bandwidth demands very small. When using the allocation call trace functionality, only code involving allocation sites for the selected class is instrumented. Also, as soon as the session is over, or the allocation traces are turned off, the instrumentation is removed and the code involving these allocation sites returns to full speed.
To summarize, the JRockit Memory Leak Detector is an advanced analysis tool with a number of novel features:
The JRockit Memory Leak Detector is arguably the best-in-class tool for discovering and finding the cause for Java memory leaks. For more information about the JRockit Memory Leak Detector, see the JRockit Mission Control documentation.
The JRockit JDK now contains a versatile tools suite for monitoring, managing, profiling, and eliminating memory leaks in your application. JRockit Mission Control is free for development use. It can be reliably used in production environments without leaving any trace in your system after it has been used, and with a much smaller performance overhead than comparable tools when it is actually in use.
Marcus Hirt is one of the founders of Appeal Virtual Machines, the company that created the Java Virtual Machine JRockit. He is currently working as Engineering Manager for the JRockit Mission Control team.

The beauty of Farndale, its surrounding countryside and village life are the focus of a new calendar.
The 2015 Farndale Calendar features different aspects of the dale in the North York Moors National Park, including frosty winter scenes, sunrises, daffodils, haymaking and cricket, among others.
Proceeds from each and every sale will go towards the rebuilding fund for Farndale Village Hall.
The calendar was first produced in 2006, following a project by Derek Pickering and Angela Smith, both members of the Kirkbymoorside Camera Club, to document "A Year in Farndale".
They allowed their photographs to be used for a calendar which local resident James Thurtell then produced and put up for sale.
Soon afterwards, Jason Ferdinando, a graphic designer, moved to the dale with his young family and volunteered to take over the design with local photographers donating their pictures each year.
The only overheads now are the printing costs.
The calendar,at £6, is available from local outlets, including Feversham Arms Inn, Farndale, and BATA Kirkbymoorside.

Telus starts HTC Desire employee training, will launch INQ Chat 3G
Telus is getting really close to introduce the HTC Desire in Canada, as the carrier has reportedly started employee training for the Android 2.1 smartphone (which won't be named Triumph after all).
Right now, it's said that the Desire will hit Telus' shelves before the end of this month (July).
There's still no word on pricing, but I've been looking through Telus' smartphone offering and I think the Desire will cost less than $200 with a 3-yr contract (the Motorola Milestone, for example, costs $149.99).
Another new phone that's coming to Telus is the INQ Chat 3G:
It doesn't run Android (although INQ plans to launch Android devices), but it comes with a full QWERTY keypad, 2.2 inch QVGA display, 3G, GPS, Facebook, Skype and Twitter apps integrated, and a 3.2MP camera. The INQ Chat 3G should be available starting the coming months.

It wouldn't be hard to pin down some of the musical influences that may or may not have had an impact on Gerald Earl Gillum's music and career. As one of hip hop's latest heartthrobs, G-Eazy is taking full advantage of his fame and success, and it shows through his lyrics. The Oakland, California native who studied the music industry in college while amassing a cyber following with internet music posts is, according to his raps, enjoying the high life whether it be by smoking some loud, enjoying drinks at the bar, or spending time with the come-and-go ladies he encounters out on tour. Surprisingly enough though, the tone of These Things Happen, his third LP after 2009's The Epidemic LP and 2012's Must Be Nice, is poignant and pensive, when he is not boosting himself and belittling the competition. G-Eazy is easy-going and unrushed as are the airy, mellow beats to this project, lending a serene feel to everything. Lyrically he is a four out of ten (ten being the best), and much of the album is spent bemoaning a troubled or lost love interest. There are great guest verses from E-40, A$AP Ferg, and Danny Seth, but that is about it as far as lyrical magic is concerned. At twenty-five years old at the release of this album, G-Eazy has lots of open doors in front of him and many great opportunities at his finger tips, but for him to truly manifest success, it is a matter of realizing the good that needs to be done and putting in the work, all while finding himself in the process.
These stretches of success seem to just happen for G-Eazy

Runs a little large. I have a narrow heel. So it has been difficult to keep this shoe on. I will try some type of insets, but I really don't like to do that. Still love the shoe.
love the look and feel - it is a little narrow for me, hoping it will break in with wearing them.
It was love at first sight. The shoe is beautiful to look at and then like Cinderella I put it on it was magic. Very comfortable and looks better on than off. I wish that I had discovered this shoe when there were more colors in my size. I bought the blue snake version and I am extremely happy that I did, or could you tell.
These shoes are my new favorite. I love this style pump. Just the right height without compromising the look.
The shoe is lovely. I generally don't like navy pumps and thought these would be perfect since they are can be worn in place of basic boring navy. I initially ordered an 8.5 and they were way to big. My foot is generally an 8.5 but lately I've been needing an 8. It seems shoe designers, like clothing designers, are into vanity sizing these days. I like the First Class but they aren't the most comfortable. The fit around the top of my foot is tight and I can tell it's going to rub and blister. I'm thinking these are "four hour shoes." Not sure I could make it through a whole business day unless I can kick them off under the table!
These shoes go with everything and go anywhere. A Rock concert with a pair of jeans, Day-Evening perfection. They make my less than graceful looking feet, graceful. A little pain to earn it, but once broken in, they're bomb!! Easy to walk distances since they are a moderate hight.
True to size at least for size 11 Medium. The heel is classy yet substantial.I purchased the Blue Snake embossed leather. I am not given to flashiness but I thought I would try. It is not flashy but rather very attractive. Goes with jeans or slacks or a skirt. Dress up or down you will feel sharp in these pumps!
I bought these in 2 colors they were so comfortable. Some days I am on my feet all day and these shoes are perfect and give that extra pop missing from most flats. I am really pleased. Also it fits true to size. I can always count on SW fitting my 51/2 B foot
Classic, comfortable and chic. Love the look, the heel and the quality.
The shoe runs a little large for my extremely narrow foot. The shoe would fit perfectly, if it was in a slim or AAAA. I love the shoe, it is so stylish.

Terracotta: AN1975.326
Object: Chariot model
Period: Bronze Age: Early Bronze Age IV
Dimensions: L: 14.2cm. H (with wheels: 19.6cm. W (over axle tubes): 7.5cm. Wheel dia. 8.2cm.
Region: Syria
Find Spot: no provenance
Description: four wheeler; handmodelled; baked; pinkish buff slip; brown fabric; surface has dark mottling in places; surfaces and edges smoothed - probably with a sharp blade before firing; some encrustation and minor restoration. Box-like superstructure, with a high, vertical front breastwork and lower side and rear screens; rear half covered over, small step projects at the back with two horn-shaped projections at each upper rear corner (to grasp when mounting?); a small, seat-like projection rises above the covered part of the box leaving room for the feet before the front rises up. The front breastwork widens slightly towards the double-arched top, where there are two obliquely placed oval apertures for reins. On either side of the lower breastwork are horizontally pierced lugs, through which string might be passed to pull the model or a pole fitted with Y-shaped base. Narrow rectangular floor with tubular sheaths beneath front and rear to accommodate axles are now restored in wood.
Incised decoration is used to denote structural features. The outer face of the front, and its sides, has rows of oblique incisions in chevron patterns. The arched top is stippled with incised dots. There is a single incised diagonal cross on the inside front. The lower sides of the car have a band of oblique incised lines within a horizontal margin. Two wheels, now on the left side, appear to be of the same fabric as the vehicle, and are incised with four herring-bone designs radiating from the projecting hub on both the inner and the outer face. They may originally have belonged. The two wheels now mounted on the right side are slightly different in appearance. Although they do not have the clear incisions of the other two, they have "feathered" linear patterns in a band round the hubs.
