1. Tomorrow is my mother's 60th birthday: 16:30
By Jenny Joseph
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens . . .
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
If I am to grow old, let me grow old like my mother. The wrinkles on her face are the laugh-lines of a life well-lived. I want to grow old like her, in the company of friends and the warmth of love.
But if I am to grow old like my mother, I will never grow old, only more alive.

the Canadian promoter wasn't returning my calls or emails. So I had to give up on that tour and accept all the other shows that were being offered to me.
I am completely open to doing a tour in Canada in the future if that same promoter (or another promoter_ comes through with a proposal and actually sticks to it.
Seriously y'all...Canada is a difficult place to work out shows for. For many reasons. I'm sorry. And it really doesn't help when your name is red marked.

MARIETTA -Local temperatures, rainfall and snowfall were all above normal in December, according to Marietta weather watcher Charlie Worsham.
"We've already had more snow than during all of last winter," he said. "We had 2.8 inches of snow last January to March, and this winter we've had 3.7 inches in December alone."
Most of December's snow - 2.3 inches - fell on Saturday.

Charlie and Diane Losch of Marietta toss some scraps to ducks and geese that were grateful for a winter snack along the Ohio River levee on New Year's Day.
Worsham said 3.7 inches of snow in one month is not unusual.
"That's really not abnormal. In 2010 we had 7 inches of snow in December," he said. "The record snowfall was 33.3 inches in 1994, and on the 19th of that same month the record low temperature was set at 23 below zero. Prior to that the record cold was 22 below on Feb. 22, 1899."
The actual average low temperature for December was 33.1 degrees, a full 6.1 degrees above the normal average low of 27 degrees.

December's Local Weather Stats

* Normal rainfall: 3.20 inches

Rainfall was also up for the month of December, Worsham said.
"A new record for local rainfall was set on Dec. 7 at 1.15 inches," he said. "The old record set in 1957 was 0.84 inches."
Another record rainfall was broken on Dec. 26. Worsham said rain that day totaled 1.06 inches, beating the former record of 1.03 inches logged in 1957.
"The record total rainfall for December was set in 1990 when there was 7.94 inches of precipitation," he said. "Last month's total 6.58 inches was the most rain we've had since then."
The new year is starting off cold, according to the National Weather Service in Charleston. NWS forecaster Nick Webb said there's not much snow expected over the next week, but the temps are going down.
"Temperatures will be below normal for the next several days - especially at night, but the overnight lows will depend on how much cloud cover we get," he said. "Cloud cover tends to keep the temperatures upward."
The overnight lows tonight through Saturday will hover around 16 degrees, according to the latest NWS forecast.
"The next chance of precipitation is maybe some flurries Thursday night, but there's no major precipitation expected over the next week," Webb said.
Worsham said that's good news as he plans to celebrate his 63rd birthday on Thursday.

Set I:
Chalkdust: This is an AWESOME (read typical) fall 94 Chalkdust. Loaded with plenty of tension and thrilling playing from all. This one really rages hard.
Fee: Interesting placement. This is a standard Fee.
Scent of a Mule: This is a super standard 94 'mule with fantastic Page work in the middle section.
Stash: Now were talking! Standard composed section except for the fact that Trey kinda whispers the lyrics. After a raging tension/release jam, this jam settles into a super interesting plucky, quiet, almost proto-plinko jam. This jam builds with great tension and finally comes to a classic closing jam with sweet Fish and Trey.
If I Could: The band brings out Jeff Mosier for the bluegrass mini set that they had been doing all week. his banjo is quiet on this one but still adds a little something special. This If I Could is pretty long for 94. Very beautiful. Trey's guitar soars in his teary eyed solo and it gives this version a very "slave-like" feel. One of my favorite versions of this beautiful song. must-hear!
Bluegrass mini-set: This is the standard bluegrass set that they had been doing all week and would be the final one. I love the bluegrass sets but there is not much to say in the review. Still fun to check out.
Divided Sky: Divided is one of my favorite songs and while this version is not quite up there with the likes of say 10/31/94, i think it certainly beats any divided sky played after 1996. Trey shreds it up in a way that he just doesn't do anymore.
Sample: Sample is Sample.
Set II:
Also Sprach: Im gonna be honest here and say that while i do enjoy the post 96 funked out 10-25 minute versions of this song, i think it just works better as a 3 minute high energy opener. This song has so much energy and is a perfect way to start off a set, similar to Buried Alive. There are enough songs for funk. These days I'd much rather have a sweet super funky 10 minute tube and a 3 minute high energy 2001, then a 3 minute tube, and a 10 minute 2001. Just my personal opinion.
DAVID BOWIE: This Bowie. What you need to do right now is go to the jamming chart for this Bowie, read what it says, then come back and finish the review. Done? Okay. You might get this show and think, "16:40 Bowie? it can't be THAT good. Well it can, and it is. Super short intro and standard composed section. Jam starts out classic quiet Bowie style. Around 6:00, Mike and Trey start playing rhythmically off each other in a fashion similar to the beginning of Bundle of Joy. Soooo cool. At around 6:45 a rocking theme starts to emerge. They build it up until about 8:30 when they explode into a rocking hose jam! This is all chords from Trey, no soloing, just an awesome heroic intense sound that i can only describe as... well... fall 94 Phish. Unfortunately this only lasts for about 30 seconds when the jam gets dark and dissonant in a very Bowie-like way without actually sounding much like a standard Bowie tension jam. Gets even more tension filled and strange around 10 minutes. thirty seconds later they do this thing that was very prevalent in 94 exploratory jams. everybody does a single hit at the same time over and over again. Trey uses the digitech whammy to make it sound as if the jam is going, WOW... WOW... WOW. At 10:50 this WOW jamming EXPLODES back into the previous hose jam but with waaaaaaaay more intensity. Very similar to certain sections of the Providence Bowie (compare, for example, to the providence Bowie at around 16:40). This Jam rocks along with Trey playing more actively than before. it eventually settles a little into a more dissonant section with Trey playing the same run he had been playing before but in a much more demented style. Everyone picks up on this and this starts an awesome jam that switches every couple measures from being super heavy and rocking to being very quiet. AMAZING STUFF. Finally one of the quite sections stays quite, but grows more menacing and crazy, building and building. This EXPLODES (i cant use this word enough in this jam) into the most ripping shreddy awesome Bowie closer ever. Quite the Bowie. Must hear. Especially you Bowie fiends who have become tired of the lackluster jamming in this song of late. Its a nice change of pace.
Glide: Love Glide. How does Fishman keep that drumbeat? anyway standard
Axilla (part II): love love love this song. Maybe i like the lyrics of the original/current Axilla better but either way its such an awesome rocking tune. Plus the swirly coda that they added to the part II versions is very cool. I wish they'd do that these days.
Reba: Composed section is standard. The quiet part of the jam is super pretty. Unfortunately this Reba does not quite build up to a great peak. And no whistling. Whatever, cant win 'em all.
Simple: Standard 94 Simple fare except that it just kind of gets quiet really fast and stops rather slowly getting quiet until it peters out.
Rift: Rift is Rift
HYHU->Terrapin->HYHU: Good thing they inserted a good Fishman section into this set. it was starting to get a little weak. guess they let all of their energy out on that Bowie. Good placement though to get the mood back up.
Julius: Any Julius from fall 94 is gonna be awesome and this version is no exception. Trey and Fish kill it with great backing from Mike and Page who keep the energy up. Still you cannot beat that Trey/Fish interplay. some of the best stuff comes from that pair.
Cavern: Always a great closer. Standard high energy Cavern.
Encore 1:
ICCULUS: Read the book! Trey gives some great funny banter about their last Wisconsin show, the OJ show (6/17/94). Trey says how the white Bronco on the run made him think about life. He tells us that the band thinks of music as a learning experience. Some Fantastic Icculus ranting follows. READ THE BOOK!
Encore 2:
Fire: Not really sure whats up with the fact that there were 2 encores. in any event, this is a pretty standard fun Fire. Jamming is almost Chalkdust-like.
This is a great show with some serious highlights. Honestly every show from this great month is worth getting. Everything is super energized, Trey is so spot on in every show, and most of the shows contain at least one legendary jam. Sorry for putting down 3.0 so much in this review, i actually love the stuff the band is doing now. I just feel like a few songs have lost their edge. In any case, this is a great show from a legendary tour that should not be overlooked.

North Dakota's hog and pig inventory has dropped by about 16,000 head.
The United States Department of Agriculture reports that the Dec. 1 year-end inventory was at 135,000 head, a 12 percent decrease compared with the same time frame last year. The agency says that the drop is because the breeding herd has shrunk. The breeding herd had decreased by 5,000 head, while the pig crop was 23,000 below last year's number.
The hog and pig inventory has pinballed over the past 10 years. The largest Dec. 1 inventory was 182,000 head in 2007, while the previous low was 143,000 in 2010.

System Vista Home Premium, QCAD version 188.8.131.52
Having created drawing sheets to various scales, I have reduced them to blocks for the library, using the bottom left hand side of the sheet as the reference point, but when reselected from the library and inserted into the window, the block is extremely remote from the cursor cross hair. I have to pan in and out around the screen to find the block. Often they are just pin points on the screen, very far away from the element I was working on.
I understood from the manual that the insertion point was the same as the reference point selected when first making the block.
What am I doing wrong?

Panama has produced a number of world class Latin singers, including Azuquita, Rubén Blades, Carlos El Grande and Gabino Pampini. In 1968 Miguel Ángel Barcasnegras "Meñique" became one of the first panameño vocalists to break onto the international scene when he journeyed with Kako's band to New York, then the headquarters of the world Latin music industry. There he went on to work with such luminaries as Arsenio Rodríguez, Tito Puente, Willie Rosario, Santos Colón and Charlie Palmieri, among others. Although he's a dyed-in-the-wool exponent of classic salsa, in 1983/4 Meñique contributed vocals and compositions to the Noche Caliente albums that spawned the salsa romántica craze. Here he speaks to John Child about his notable career, which began in Panama City at the beginning of the 1950s. The piece is followed by a selective discography of Meñique's solo albums and recordings featuring him as a lead vocalist.

The statue represents a naked youth in motion. His feet rest on an irregularly-shaped plaque bearing the words "Hybrisstas made me". This type of inscription is extremely rare on a bronze and reveals the maker's name. Study of its characteristics suggest it is Arcadian in origin, with Tegea as the most likely place of manufacture.
The fairly crude and sketchy technique used on the features, the unbalanced structure with its very disproportionately protruding eyes, seem to argue in favour of an archaic period work from the 7th to the 6th century BC, a dating which has been accepted for some time. However, despite the crude nature of the incisions on certain anatomical details, the suppleness of the pose and the animation of the limbs involved in movement suggest a revised dating, placing the bronze among the works of the early 5th century BC, and the crude technique overall tallies well with what is known of the Arcadian workshops.
Unfortunately, the statuette lacks the attributes which it would have held, providing a definite identification. The right hand has disappeared, snapped at the wrist and part of the left hand is missing. The pose, which can only indicate an Olympian deity, could just as easily be Zeus brandishing a thunderbolt as Poseidon holding a trident. On the back of the right hand, the eagle of Zeus or the dolphin of the god of the seas could have rested. However the position of the flexed fingers does not allow a decision to be made with complete certainty either way.

Do You Still Need an Annual Doctor's Visit?
July 29, 2014 -- If it's true that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then it seems like seeing the doctor for an annual physical exam ought to play a major role in keeping healthy people healthy.
Yet most doctors now say it's time to rethink the notion of a yearly physical, a fixture in U.S. medicine since the 1940s.
Possible Downsides of Yearly Checkups
Studies done over at least 30 years have shown that for healthy adults -- those who don't have a long-term illness or take daily prescription medications -- annual wellness checks don't lower the number of deaths. They also don't cut the rates of disease-related deaths, hospitalizations, or the cost of care.
"There's not a [ton] of evidence that going in annually, if you're healthy, prevents bad things from happening," says Thomas Miller, chief medical officer for the University of Utah's Hospitals and Clinics.
Instead, studies from multiple researchers found the annual exams can lead to the overdiagnosis of some conditions, overtreatment, and to invasive, costly tests.
That's exactly what happened to the 85-year-old father of Michael B. Rothberg, MD, MPH, a doctor at the Cleveland Clinic's Center for Value-Based Care Research, Medicine Institute. Rothberg wrote about the experience last month in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"The $50,000 Physical" describes the string of medical treatments ordered for his father after an annual physical identified a suspected aortic aneurysm. He didn't have that, but a CT scan showed a lesion on his liver, which was suspected to be cancerous. A biopsy found Rothberg's father had a single benign tumor, but he nearly bled to death from the biopsy.
And yet, as Rothberg says, the practice of annual checkups persists.
That's in part because some doctor payments are tied to the practice, and also because patients have come to expect them each year. Data from a national 2010 survey found that 21% of medical visits were for preventive care. Having a general medical exam was the No. 2 reason people went to the doctor.
"It's ingrained into our culture," Miller says. "There's a belief among some that it makes sense, so there's always going to be a pool of folks who cherish the annual physical."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 firstname.lastname@example.com (Washington, DC; August 8, 2012) – The Nevada Corporate Ownership Fraud Task Force, formed in 2011 by Secretary of State Ross Miller to investigate business entities suspected of being involved in illegal activities, spotlights the rise of fraudulent UCC filings across the country with a new report released by the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS). The report provides substantive guidance for states contemplating ways to develop faster, less costly options for keeping bogus liens out of public records. Titled "State Strategies to Subvert Fraudulent Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Filings," the report offers recommendations for leaders and policy makers enhancing state policies for removing fraudulent Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings from public record. "Given the dramatic rise in the number of fraudulent UCC filings in the past few years, NASS produced this report to help identify new ways that states can expedite relief to victims and potentially reduce a significant amount of backlog in our courts," said Miller, NASS president. The report was created based on input from secretaries of state and state business division professionals throughout the U.S. Drawing from state examples, it highlights common elements of bogus UCC filings and new state laws that seek to address the proliferation of such claims. The national increase in the number of fraudulent UCC filings, and the growing sovereign citizens movement that is fueling this jump, are also explained. The important role of the UCC in the creation of state solutions is discussed, along with the influence that the model law has on the role and the authority of state filing offices. Appendices include details on UCC-related laws and practices in many states, including criminal and civil penalties for submitting fraudulent liens. The report is a follow-up to a set of 2006 recommendations produced by a joint NASS/IACA (International Association of Commercial Administrators) Bogus Filings Task Force, which established landmark guidelines for judicial remedies and criminal penalties related to fraudulent UCC filings.

Angel Dee
Hey, Angel here. Amarillo has been my home since 2003 and absolutely love it! Since moving here I have gotten to know so many wonderful people. I am a proud mom of an awesome son who definitely keeps me on my toes. So here are a few random things about myself: I love flowers, but hate perfumes or any fragrances that smell like them. If I could only have one food for the rest of my life it would be potatoes. Love them! I have the biggest sweet tooth out of anyone I know. I am so thrilled to have a job I love, and I do love everything about it. I work with some of the best people, I get to listen to music all day, and we have some of the best listeners ever! Love you guys. Muah!

Those Shimano shifter dust caps are definitely one thing I won't miss about their new design. The things broke incredibly easy (that or lost their itty bitty little screw, so they'd just fall off), and were $10-15 bucks a piece. Oh, and the shape changed year to year- so it was pretty hard to find the right one.
On the other hand, breaking a '03 or '04 105 shifter dust cap and replacing it with an Ultegra or DuraAce cap was probably the cheapest upgrade I ever did.
The 7800 faceplates are metal and pretty durable, more so than the plastic/metal combination of the 7700. But don't worry, 7900 has a faceplate too.
That DA has survived several trips and you should see what the S&S case looks like; remarkable the damage those cases will take. Where DA gets credit for when traveling is the ability to shift, even when not adjusted right. Because you can hold a shift and "feather" it into place. Def cannot do that on SRAM with it's 1 to 1 ratio. I hope the new DA also allows shifting with less precision.
Yeah, pretty much the shift action is the same.
Do you remember when I sold you the S&S case, and before I handed it to you I ground the case into the concrete shop floor and said "Get used it!" ? I wasn't kidding.
I know of somebody who stashed their S&S case in the middle of a big articulated bus. The bus turned a sharp corner and munched the case like a gigantic fucking nutcracker. The case buckled in on one edge and the rear wheel snapped at the rim, but it's possible that the case be straighten with a heatgun. I think the frame is okay, but I haven't measured it with a gauge yet.
Each trip the case takes a bigger hit—like on this one there's a inch-long divet in the side of it—what was that? hit by a propeller? I didn't think of heatgunning it, but I did learn to always cap the axles with those plastic thingys to prevent a puncture or at least a dent in the case.
we haven't tried using the heatgun yet, so the jury is still out on that fix. if the case is made from a thermoset polymer rather than a thermoplastic polymer, then it ain't gonna work.
I'm thinking that you wouldn't try to use the heatgun method unless the only other choice was to throw the case away and buy another. remember, the guy's wheel was crushed while INSIDE the case…
update on that bent case:
didn't need the heatgun; some time, skill, and a little brutality with a big mallet fixed it. At first glance, you couldn't tell.

Gas Prices, Stocks Approach 'Danger Zone'
Evidence is mounting that rising gasoline prices are already crimping the American consumer. Now, they could pose a problem for the stock market, as well.
Gas prices have jumped about 50 cents in the past month alone, pushing the national average to $3.78 a gallon, according to auto club AAA. Some parts of the country are getting hit harder than others; California drivers, for instance, are paying well above $4 a gallon.
In a note to clients, Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at New York brokerage firm BTIG, pointed out the $3.75-$4.00 range for gas prices has proven to be problematic for stocks in the past. As the chart shows, the latest increase in gas prices resembles what took place in 2008, the springs of 2011 and 2012 and last fall.
"What should worry investors is that the January/February increase again comes before the traditional spring driving season," he says. "In each of the last three years, prices went up in the winter only to come back down, with stocks, in the spring/summer."
While crude-oil prices have dropped in recent days, which could help bring gas prices down a touch in the days ahead, prices still remain quite elevated. That's prompted other analysts to also wave caution flags.
"High energy prices can make the economy and markets more vulnerable to a negative event that drives stocks lower," Jeffrey Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial, wrote earlier this week, noting gas prices are approaching the "danger zone" that should put investors on alert.
He says oil prices, gasoline margins and refinery outages are the three main factors contributing to rising gas prices. From Kleintop:
- Crude oil prices are on the rise. The price of waterborne light sweet crude that drives the wholesale price of gasoline sold in most U.S. regions rose about $6 per barrel, or about 15 cents per gallon. This accounts for about one-third of the rise in gasoline. Gasoline's gains are outstripping crude oil's run up this year.
- Throughout much of November and December 2012, gasoline refining margins were very low, and in some cases negative with a barrel of gasoline worth less than a barrel of crude. As a result, retail gasoline prices were lower relative to crude oil prices. Since the beginning of 2013, gasoline prices versus crude oil have started to rebound.
- Both planned and unplanned maintenance at several refineries have supported higher refining spreads. Many refineries schedule maintenance early in the year when gasoline demand is seasonally low. A string of refinery outages resulted in substantial off-line capacity. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that inputs into U.S. refineries fell 9% from 15.9 million barrels per day in mid-December 2012 to 14.4 million for the week ending February 15, 2013.
Investors don't seem overly concerned right now. The Dow is up about 130 points, back above 14000, led higher by JPMorgan Boeing, Caterpillar and Intel. The S&P 500 is up 16 points, or 1.1%, to 1513.
But the higher gas prices go, the more of a pressing concern this will turn into for investors.

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.

Ok, so I am on week 4 day and just finished day 2. Doing real well~
So I was planning and lookied at next weeks running schedule and saw that there is big change up, it doesnt stay the same for 3 days~
Day 3 is what makes me nervous, really run for 20 min....I dont know if I can do it, but I will def try.
Wanting to know if anyone has and advice, and get your thoughts on how you did it~
TIA, Crystal
I am also starting week 5 on Monday! I cant wait. Since I seem to be controlling my breathing better I feel like I can run farther & longer! I hope that you do great when you run for the 20 minutes! I figure if we've made it this far then we can make it all the way to the end! Good luck.
Hey Crystal and Shanrunfar. I was so scared of the 20 min run...thought I couldn't do it! I listened to others advice and just went with it. Tonight I finished W6D3....25 min run!!!!!!! I did it and I feel fabulous! I am not a runner, more like a slow jogger....just listen to your body....start out slow so you don't run out of steam! You are going to feel so good after you hit the 20 min mark Good luck to you both! Check back here after your run and let me know how it went!
I was nervous too, but I just did W5D3 today and was able to complete it all! Start out slow like CinCinC said and pace yourself. Keep plugging along. I did it and this program really works. You can do it!
I just calculated my pace and was surprised by it...it was faster than I thought...so you never know...you may surprise yourself!
Started C25K on 10/17/2011, Finished C25K on 12/17/2011!
Completed and continue to do P90X
Goal is to lose 30-40 pounds!
The Thin Blue Line!
Crystal, I just did W5D3 today and I had the same nervous thoughts about the 20 min run in the prior week too. You WILL be able to do it. If you kept up with all of your weeks, you will be well prepared. I was really surprised that it wasn't as tough as I feared and I actually felt that I was able to keep going. One thing I did differently was to do the 20 min. run at a totally different route. It was a nice change and I was able to really enjoy the run.
- Kathy
Harvest Hustle 5K - 27:28 11/17/12 PR
Run to Live 5K - 30:25 9/29/12
Started C25K on 10/20/11
Graduated C25K on 12/17/11
I also just did W5D3 today and if felt great to accomplish this goal. I agree with everyone to start out slow so you don't get yourself out of breath. I was so nervous about this run today and was so surprised that it wasn't nearly as dreadful as I expected. You can do it!
Ditto, I've just started Week 5, did Day 1 this morning and yeah that was ok, but the next two sessions worry me!! Have done every session exactly as supposed to, no cheating, and while I can imagine doing the first 8-minute run on Tuesday, the second sounds agonising. And then the 20 min run on Thursday seems just unimaginable!
I keep reading to take it slowly, but I seriously can't go any slower than what I already jog!
I've been using the British NHS C25k podcast and I love hearing Laura's voice pop up saying "you're half way! Don't stop! You can do it!", but the music on there is not energising enough. Really thinking about sacrificing Laura's encouraging words for 20 minutes of my own music! And maybe not knowing how much time I have left would be better anyway.
a lot of people get worried when they to get week 5 as I did. Don' t stress (easier said than done) but you have trained for this
Week 5 Day 3 is done!! All went well, and no harder than any of the other weeks. I'm over the moon that I can do it, and now have no doubts about completing the rest of the program. Thanks for your advice and support! Every bit helped!!
I too started week 5 this week and am nervous about day 3. I'm looking forward to it though.

Nebraska's powerful farm interests are questioning Gov. Dave Heineman's proposed income-tax overhaul, asking whether the state should instead focus instead on reducing property taxes.
The governor unveiled two plans Friday that would eliminate millions of dollars in sales-tax exemptions for commercial seed, farm chemicals, machinery and fuel used by farmers.
Steve Nelson, president of the Nebraska Farm Bureau, says the governor's plan would increase the tax burden on farmers, whose incomes rise and fall depending on how much they produce. Nelson says he's open to discussion but would have preferred property tax relief in the mix.
Heineman, a Republican, told lawmakers in his State of the State address that many of the farmers he has visited are willing to talk about a simpler and more efficient tax system.

Discussions /Modifications/Support methods/DIY Inner
Lots of folks have these now (inc. me - have a Hex3)
I thought I would start this thread so as to allow everyone to share with all our impressions/experiences/tinkering (ideas or reality) -if they can be arsed
I have the outer (i.e. Flysheet ) and nest (mesh inner tent) and original adjustable pole.
It's a nylon flysheet so will get varying condensation much of the time - just like all of them. It's normal.
If solo I have just used the outer and a bit of polychro type groundsheet. The nest is good and sturdy with a decent groundsheet, but I'm sure I would want a 'solid' fabric inner tent and porch in winter
I had one night out of 3 completely dry (inside) with it the other week - I was surprised I got that considering it was Dartmoor.
Any DIY ideas for joining 2 'Leki' type poles together appreciated - I used the pole extender and a single trekking pole, but the lower section bent when I cinched the outer down tight.
Have tried various tubes, but the tapered points wobble inside the tube. Maybe partially fill the tube with Epoxy and make a moulded socket? How?
I need to get hold of an old pair of Leki type poles and have a hexperiment.
Until people see the light and start using BD flicklocks, there's definitely a need for a Leki Doobrie
My Arse
Cheers both.
DW that's kind - - ali tube I've seen in stores seems to be 16mm,19mm and 22mm....
A suggestion, not backed by experience:
' Find a piece of cord 14 inches long.
. Tie a small loop in each end, big enough to put the tip of a Keki through, but small enough to stop more than the tip getting through.
. Take the baskets off the poles.
. Insert the tips of two Lekis in the hoops so the poles are parallel.
. Use another bit of string to bind the overlapping bits of the poles together.
If this works, apply the principle to a more durable/elegant version.
- might have a play with that and some velcro strapping. possibly has a bit more 'fiddle factor' for pitching
I know Mike has something for his which is webbing based and a similar technique...
Se@n wrote (see)
BD pole connector
No idea, Mole. Mike probably got his from the US. Would probably work with Lekis?
But if you have BD poles I think you're better off with the Doobrie. Lighter, less faff and much more elegant
Think it would work with Lekis - google says no UK supplier.
Am in process of choosing new poles - fortuitously one of mine's locking adjuster fell apart yesterday (trekmates). Need to handle some BD's see what they're like.
mole, get a handle section and cut the handle off leaving the tube (i just whittled the cork handle away on an alpkit handle section) take off the bottom sections of your poles, i.e. pull them out of the handle, and insert the bottom two sections from your poles into each end of the tube and adjust away to your heart's desire.
i've use the bottom sections of pacer poles in an alpkit handle so mutilated. (or the alpkit poles)
if using aluminium poles hold a hot cloth around where the internal gripper will go to expand the shell slightly and tighten. it shouldn't come loose during the night which i put down to the pole expanding a little bit as it get slightly warmer than it was when it was first erected.
take the lower (middle?) section of your existing poles and cause havoc somewhere by dismantling their cheap poles to see if your section fits in the handle bit.
If I read that correctly Parky, that would give me a double ended adjustable pole with the spikes at each end? (sorry if being dumb)
That would be a useful adjustable pole but would need end capson the spikes to stop puncturing the fabric...
yep. double ended fully adjustable spiky pole.
the rubber ferrule/protection cap that comes with them or a washing plastic bubble thingy they give away with washing liquid are handy. anything you can think of that would "blunt" the pointy bit works.
long spiky pole is also excellent with a tarp.

I find the Tarp sangi 3 a most excellent TARP. versatile and probably the most spacious TARP I shall ever own.
I tend not to get carried away with the additional bits as it just make this good shelter turn out to be a tent with limitations.
I no longer carry a bothy bag, but one of these instead....

Well we are into about the third week in our beta cycle.
Both the iphone and ipad apps work fairly well with ps3mediaserver if the content follows the mpeg-ps spec closely.
If someone would like to setup a renderer for p3media server that transcodes to mpeg-level-2 , mpeg-ps than it would even be better.
Right now our resources are spread kind of thin so we don't have the time.
The current version of the app works fairly well with the following servers, best performer order.
1) playon
2) ps3mediaserver

Congressional agriculture leaders are negotiating a long-term farm bill package to be inserted into a fiscal cliff deal expected by the end of the month.
This activity in Washington has raised hopes that farm and food legislation will get done this year, though many details and the legislative mechanism are far from certain.
The four principals on Capitol Hill – Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Ranking Member Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) and House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.) and Ranking Member Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) – have met several times this week.
They and agriculture stakeholders in Congress, Washington and back in farm country are counting on the savings offered by a long-term farm bill to be attractive enough to get a suitable package worked into the larger agreement, which faces its own tense negotiations.

An embarrassment of riches brought together two families of grizzly bears in Grand Teton National Park: delicious piles of guts discarded by hunters, plus numerous carcasses of elk and the carcass of a bison. Unfortunately, the late-November reunion — like many others this holiday season — did not always go harmoniously, reports the Jackson Hole News&Guide. The two heads of the families — the larger 399, and 610, her daughter from 2006 — tussled several times over the spoils, rolling "in the snow during one brawl," said photographer Tom Mangelsen, who kept a close watch on the action as it unfolded. He said the sows' cubs, five in number, tried to join in, and one of 399's cubs was "a real scrapper," not just charging at the other cubs but also chasing its grandmother. "The scene made for amazing wildlife viewing," Mangelsen said, but if the two grizzly sows had not been related, he speculated, "it would be a fight-to-the-death sort of thing."
Bob Ream, chairman of the state, Fish Wildlife and Parks Commission, was driving to north-central Montana just before sunrise to hunt deer, when a deer jumped in front of his car and made the trip unnecessary. The deer was a goner, "but only its hind quarter was damaged," reports the Independent Record, "so Ream tagged it." Even though his job involves setting hunting regulations, Ream apparently didn't know that tagging a road kill is illegal. After he told a game warden what he'd done, the animal was confiscated and Ream was issued a warning. That wasn't even the worst part: The deer also totaled his Subaru.
We won't go into the Freudian implications of hunters who covet wall decorations fashioned from the enormous antlers of the deer or elk they "hunted" on a fenced game ranch, but in Texas, where everything is supposed to be bigger than life, the desire for giant racks has gotten entirely out of hand. Smugglers have been hauling in bucks with huge antlers to breed with the state's "delicate native deer," reports the Wall Street Journal. The result: deer with racks that can span four feet and are "often festooned with dozens of thick knobs and nubbins," reminiscent of Dr. Seuss' creations. Federal agents with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently nabbed one of the smugglers — Billy Powell, 77, who was sentenced to up to six months of home confinement, $1.5 million in penalties and the forfeiture of 1,300 vials of frozen deer semen, said to be worth close to $1 million.

AVON - The Walking Mountain Science Center's first year at their new location has been everything they were hoping for and more, said Executive Director Markian Feduschak.
An obvious-testament to its success is the fact that participation in summer science camps have been through the roof, reaching full enrollment of more than 400 kids during the six-week span the camps are offered.
But now that the organization - which has been around for more than a decade in a different location and operating under a different name -- has an actual science center, complete with an interactive museum-like visitor's area, a host of classrooms on the 10,0000-square-foot facility and access to an enormous amount of land, participation from those children's parents, and adults in general, has blossomed as well.-
"We've done a lot of evening programs for the communities at large -- films, speakers, workshops," Feduschak said. "We have a fun series call the science behind, where we try to pick sort of a hot topic - the science behind gluten-free cooking, or biomechanics and ski injuries."
The participation from parents has allowed for more direct feedback, as well.
"We always have good feedback," Feduschak said. "But the difference is now everything's based out of (the new science center) so the parents are here all the time, and we get to hear that feedback. It's really cool."
Feduschak says the new science center, which opened Aug. 20, 2011, has made it easier to offer a much wider range of camps.-
"Now you can bring your child two days a week for a half or a full day, and those sold out," he said. "The participation was very consistent on those, kids would come back week after week."
The land the facility and interpretive trails are on - located just off Buck Creek road less than a mile from the Interstate 70 Avon exit - was given to the science center as a gift from the Oscar Tang family. Those five acres border on private open space that the science center has the OK to enjoy, which then has access to an expanse of Forest Service land.
"The private open space that we have permission to utilize is 40-plus acres, and then you go onto public lands," Feduschak said. "That's what we love about this location, you can do a variety of things."
While the school still offers off-site camps like overnight 10th Mountain hut and yurt trips for kids, Feduschak said the efficiencies gained from doing programs on-site as opposed to field sites throughout the valley has allowed them to serve more kids.-
"Now all our elementary school programs take place here at the science center, so we can take advantage of indoor and outdoor classrooms," he said.-
The goal is to get every local student into the science center at least once per year during the regular school calendar, and in that way even the most indoor-oriented of children will have an opportunity to take away a basic knowledge of the diverse surroundings in which we live, he said.-
And that goes for adults, as well.
"We really feel like the community has embraced the science center. ... Folks can come in anytime, they're welcome to look around on our geology display, mountain communities display or anything they're interested in," he said. "The intention is that the visitor's center is to teach people about our local geology and ecology. ...-We've just had an incredible first year here. In terms of visitation, summer science camps, working with our local schools, it's far exceeded our expectations."
The Walking Mountains Science Center is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and is funded mainly through private donations. If you're interested in contributing, the science center's first annual fundraising dinner, entitled "Reach for the Peak," is Aug. 12.-
"We're going to celebrate our first year of success, and hope people will support us," said Feduschak.-"We generate very modest tuition income, so we're really here through the generosity of our community."
