Maybe, you're like me and didn't even look at the CD that came with your G9 until you started doing some Spring cleaning and found the CD that came with your G9 under a pile of magazines and junk mail. I've heard that curiosity killed the cat but, in this case, you will be able to cheat death for mere disappointment – I was not impressed by Canon's offering. I performed the installation on Mac OSX (Leopard). The installation created a folder in my Applications called Canon Utilities. This folder contains the various programs that Canon so graciously included with their G9. The following screenshots were taken during the Canon Utilities intallation on Mac OSX (Leopard):
Insert CD. Click Install.
- I selected Custom Installation since I am typically comfortable selecting Custom on most installations. Easy Installation works just as well. In fact, I did not change any of the default settings during the Custom Installation. Click Next.
- Leave default selections. Click Next.
- Click Next and you wait for the installation to finish. Done.
Three icons will be placed on your Dock (Mac OSX feature) – Image Browser, Camera Window, and EOS Utility.
- Image Browser 6.0 – Used to capture photos from your SD card onto your computer or other storage media. Personally, I find this piece of software lacking and awkward. For those of you with Mac OSX, I would highly suggest using Image Capture. Image Capture comes with Mac OSX and does a very clean job of downloading your files from your SD card. iPhoto is another option to download your files from your G9 but, I find it super annoying that you can't access the downloaded files outside of the iPhoto application. Image Capture is the clear winner here.
- Camera Window – Used to control your G9 while it is connected to your computer via USB cable. You can control your G9 via your computer. As cool as this sounds, I haven't found this feature particularly useful. If you do happen to endeavor upon a project that Camera Window would be useful for, I would imagine battery life being a concern and would recommend purchasing the optional AC Adapter Kit for your G9. This kit runs about $53 before tax and shipping.
- EOS Utility – Bundle application that combines the features of Image Browser and Camera Window. Essentially, does the same thing from one application. Remember, Canon is a leading camera manufacturer not a software company. In my opinion, once again, lacking.
In addtition to the 3 obvious Canon applications on our Dock, the installer also created a folder within Applications called Canon Utilities. Withing this folder, there are a few more applications worth mentioning.
- My Camera DC – This application is actually pretty neat for those of you interested in 'pimpin' out your G9. Through My Camera DC, you can upload custom Themes, Sounds and Backgrounds for your G9 to add a little of your own flavor your G9. Click here for instructions on how easy 'pimpin' can be accomlished.
- Photo Stitch – This application is used to put together photos that were taken with the Stitch setting on your G9. In theory, if done correctly, you can create awesome panoramic views with your G9. The poor man's wide lens if you will.
In sum, the software included with the Canon Powershot G9 is not essential to download your photos from your SD card. Unlike Image Browser, Camera Window and EOS Utility, I did find that My Camera DC and Photo Stitch provided me with a few cool things that I can now do with my G9.
My apologies for the 6 day hiatus. I'm on the verge of a breakthrough – a hack for the G9 – CHDK (Canon Hack Development Kit). Sound interesting? It is. Once I sort out the mumbo jumbo, I hope to put together a simple tutorial that anyone can follow.

The Boy Scout Jamboree was a great success, and we had the opportunity to educate many boys about the value and importance of clean water. We had a watershed map where the boys put a pin on the spot where they live. We talked about how everyone lives downstream of someone else and to be sure to clean the water they use before sending it downstream. From there they went to the pipe, and the boys loved this activity. We talked about confined space and that they should never go in a real sewer pipe. Then we magically changed them to wastewater influent so they can go through the pipe to the treatment plant. (By the way this was a great photo opportunity).
Once through the pipe they went into the first tent, where we talked about the treatment process and the importance of treating the water to make it clean. From that tent we went to a second tent, where we had actual secondary treatment mixed liquor (MLSS). Thanks to the Beckley WWTP! We talked about the types of microorganisms and what they do to clean the water. From there the boys went to the careers board where we described various careers in the water quality industry. This included engineers, lab techs, chemists, maintenance workers, collection system workers, chemists, and process operators (which includes electronic control system programmers and others). Finally we gave them the choice of "Water's Worth It" pins (My Effort, My Passion, My Future, and Water's Worth It). They then exited the exhibit and went on their way.
The boys were very interested and positive in their comments and really seemed to enjoy the exhibit and its activities. I know we had a great time! Many thanks to all those volunteers that helped with the WEF Jamboree exhibit, especially Ken Spear, Carl Janson, and Jim Downey. They did wonders in getting things set up, organization, and take down.

Town drops charge against NH freedom activist documenting tax auction of firefighter's home
PALMER - A disorderly conduct charge was dropped against Ian Freeman, the New Hampshire man arrested last fall outside a public auction of town-owned properties at the Town Building. Now he plans to fight the accusation that he violated a municipal ordinance before the event. "I didn't do anything wrong . . . It shouldn't be a crime to record video in a public place," Freeman, 32, said Wednesday. "I'm willing to go all the way to help protect people in a similar situation."

Some American food manufactures make healthier versions of their products in other countries because those countries have stricter food policies. An example of this is Kellogg's Froot Loops, here is the American version's nutrition information and here is the Australian & New Zealand version's nutrition information.
Watch here as we point out the differences:
It's really amazing to us that the U.S.A. can allow these processed and sugar laden foods with controversial ingredients but it appears that other westernized countries eat a healthier version of the product. And we wonder how our childhood obesity rates are out of control?

XShelf enhances drag and drop in MacOS X by letting you "pause" drag and drop operations, as well as have multiple drag and drop operations in flight at once.
You can drag files or folders from Finder into the shelf and they will sit there until you drag them out. Once you drag them out, the drag operation will finish as if XShelf were never involved. You may drag individual or multiple files or folders, as well as text clippings and URLs to XShelf. With XShelf, you no longer have to shuffle windows so that both the source and target of a drag and drop are onscreen at the same time.

Don't forget it works with text clippings also, not only files.
Because creating a folder for moving between windows takes:
1.creating a folder
2.arrange windows to put the files
3.open the folder to drag and drop
4.arrange windows to put back again
5. perhaps less or more steps
So with XShelf this just takes to open a window drag and drop to the xshelf
and then return back where you want it, end!
I think this fills a hole in OSX GUI, it will be interesting other approaches though, maybe like the XShelf be integrated in the finder windows. Or maybe an option or area to keep the files in the XShelf to copy in place of moving.
By now it makes life easier :)
diggn_it, its useful because you can manage multiple items. Lets say I want to get some documents for a project from 3 locations (~/Documents, a shared folder, and a network drive) to a thumb drive. XShelf visualises the process and is much easier than juggling Finder windows.
Of course, some people don't need this at all, which you've pointed out yourself ;)
Works great on Intel machines as well.

I started running last last November and since then I have run a bunch of 5k's, 2 Half Marathons and my training took me to 13 miles on a couple of occasions.
In week 9 i was going to run 15 miles, but during the run I pulled my hamstring. I was pretty much unable to run for 5 weeks. I am now at week 15, of Hal Higdon's 18 week Novice 2 Program and I don't know if I can make up for the time that I lost. I plan on running 12 miles this Saturday and 15 miles the following Saturday. With 15 miles as my max run, Do I have a legitimate chance of being able to run the hole 26 miles?
I am trying not to psych myself out of doing this marathon (Las Vegas on December 4th)
Thank you for your comments / advice.

15 to 26 that is a long 11 miles, can you switch to the 1/2 or defer? I would advise not running it, you could probably do it but it would not be fun! Good luck Phillip
Personally I'd either switch to the half or PLAN on run-walking the full, with plenty of walking intervals! You don't want to re-injure yourself.
New Year's Color Run (5k) - 01/01/13
Oshkosh Half-Marathon - 04/21/13
Bos / Osh;
Thank you for the responses. I am definitely worried about re-injury, especially since I am not one to "S-T-R-E-T-C-H" like I should.
Personally, I have a tendancy to have these great exciting plans and then find a reason why I cannot achieve my goal (e.g. Whoa is me - I might get injured).
Because I have trained all year for this, I am of mind to "Go Down Swinging" instead of meekly whimping out!
Phil - totally get that long 11 miles, but I am hoping that I can look at it as "wow.. only 11 miles to go and hope that momentum take me the distance" One good thing is: I may never find a flatter course. One bad thing though, there is a 4:30 time limit so the run / walk tactic may be flawed.
I'll keep you posted.

Tough break Grim to lose 5 weeks of training in the meat of the training plan. No wonder we haven't seen you posting in a while.
I'm looking at your half-marathon and 20K times --- this suggests to be that a best case scenario has you finishing a full marathon at around 4:20
Having lost so many long runs it will be very difficult to hit that 4:20 mark
Also, doing the 15 mile long run on Nov 20 may help you mentally but will do little to help you physically on Dec 4. The rule of thumb is that it takes about 3 weeks of time before a run physically helps you --- thus, the typical 3 week taper time prior to the race.
Also, in regard to stretching --- I do absolutely no "cold" stretching. If I stretch at all I make sure I am well warmed up.
I certainly am not going to tell you to run or not run but you do have quite a challenge before you.
4:30 is a fairly quick time cut off for a marathon! It's always easier to tell someone else not to run, I don't always follow my own advice! Good luck.
Guy -
I think the 4:30 time limit is wrong. I looked into this when I thought I might not be in shape to run my race last week, and I think it just has to do with the pacing of the marathon relative to the Half....notwithstanding what's on the website. Part of the course is on the "strip" and part is not. They close the streets on the part that is on the strip where you join with the half marathon, but the marathon starts like 2 1/2 hours before. So it ends up you have something like 7 hours total to finish....so a run-walk tactic might work, and sounds more do-able.
you can call Rock n' Roll and they can explain it better.
Best of luck however you decide!
"If you think you will fail or that you will succeed, you'll be right."
Recent and Upcoming Races:
New York NY - ING NY Marathon, Nov. 6, 2011 - Finish time 4:53:24
I like your determination - way to go.
First about the hamstring. It's a common injury for runners, but it's possible to take care of it:
- Before the training - only dynamic stretching (warm-up exercises). Static stretching before the run correlates with increased injury risk.
- After the training or if necessasy as additional stretching workouts - static stretching.
- Core training and bodyweight exercises for strengthening your muscles and joints, also stabilising your spine and pelvis.
Try www.sportlyzer.com training planner - I use it and get visual manuals for all these exercises from there.
Now about racing. If you want to enjoy the race, take the half. If you want to accomplish your goal and finish a full marathon, you can also do it. But as others said run/walk might take some more time. Just make sure that you have enoght time for this. I would personally take a half, because if it's too hard you will feel like a hero, but are less likely to do it again. In terms of recreational sports I'd always prefer enjoyment and health to heroic deeds. This insures you long and regular running career.
I just talked to a scientist who had made a survey among recreational athletes and had found out that all regular and good level recreational athletes enjoy their exercising. At the same time those running for some shorter goals like losing weight or running their first marathon feel that it's hard. I think this might be the reason why many quit after achieving their goal and others keep doing it again and again. Eventually the latter are more successful, of course.

I have to make a point to pick up this print issue of Traditional Home. Christmas Issues are definitely my favorites for collecting, and over the last few years we haven't seen the same Holiday Spreads as in the past. This home definitely doesn't disappoint. For a young family with 4 children, holidays are all about the kids. Although, I didn't notice any popcorn strings on the tree, or pasta ornaments, I am going to wager the army of floral designers had something to do with that!

I'm looking to buy a media renderer for my TV so I can stream my movies to my TV. I want to stream mostly 1080p movies, some of them are Untouched blu-ray rips/Remux (so high bitrate..)
Also, the renderer needs to have Component video out (no HDMI) and Optical out (audio). So I can hook it up to my receiver for Surround sound. It doesn't necessarily need to use PMS, maybe with internal storage it is not required.
http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/about/ I found under supported devices the following devices which fits my needs, however, I don't have any experience with them and don't know alternatives not named here. So please your advice:

Fabulous for code morons such as your humble servant. I dreamt of it for months, then discovered it on this site... Wow, now I can bin ecto, which I used to used juste for coding (which it did really badly) and use this instead....
This app is amazing, I agree that it is vastly underrated!
This has to be one of the most underrated web development apps out there for the Mac. If you are developing in PHP this is defeinitely the app for you. It offers live previews of code as you type in a seperate or attached window so you can immediately see the results of what you're typing. There also are code snippets, which as mentioned is a really cool feature. I combine this with CSSEdit and don't look back.
Its code snippets feature rocks.

Irving's readiness to challenge the authenticity of inconvenient documents and the credibility of apparently credible witnesses
13.148 I accept that it is necessary for historians, not least historians of the Nazi era, to be on their guard against documents which are forged or otherwise unauthentic. But it appeared to me that in the course of these proceedings Irving challenged the authenticity of certain documents, not because there was any substantial reason for doubting their genuineness but because they did not fit in with his thesis.
13.149 The prime example of this is Irving's dismissal of Muller's letter of 28 June 1943 dealing with the incineration capacity of the ovens at Auschwitz (to which I have referred at paragraph 7.106 and 7.120).As already stated at paragraph 13.76 I agree with the assessment of van Pelt that there is little reason to doubt the authenticity of this document. Yet Irving argued strenuously that it should be dismissed as a forgery. In my judgment he did so because it does not conform to his ideological agenda. Similarly Irving devoted much time to challenging the authenticity of Muller's instruction to furnish Hitler with reports of the shooting. I believe that he did so because this was for him an inconvenient document and not because there were real doubts about it genuineness. (Irving ultimately accepted its bona fides). There were other occasions when Irving sought to cast doubt on the authenticity of documents relied on by the Defendants (for example the Anne Frank diaries and the report of the gassing of 97,000 Jews at Chelmno referred to at paragraph 6.71 above). In neither case did Irving's doubts appear to me to have any real substance. His attitude to these documents was in stark contrast to his treatment of other documents which were more obviously open to question. One example is Irving's unquestioning acceptance of the Schlegelberger memorandum despite the uncertainty of its provenance. Another is his reliance on Tagesbefehl No. 47 in the teeth of mounting evidence that it was a forgery. In my judgment there is force in the Defendants' contention that Irving on occasion applies double standards to the documentary evidence, accepting documents which fit in with his thesis and rejecting those which do not.
13.150 As I have already observed in the course of dealing with the historiographical criticism of Irving, there is a comparable lack of even-handedness when it comes to Irving's treatment of eye-witnesses. He takes a highly sceptical approach towards the evidence of the survivors and camp officials at Auschwitz and elsewhere who confirm the genocidal operation of gas chambers at the camp (Tauber, Olere, Wisliceny, Hoss and Miller). But in relation to other witnesses (such as Hitler's adjutants, Christa Schroder and Voigt), where there is greater reason for caution about their testimony, Irving appears to adopt it uncritically. I accept that Irving had interviewed personally many of the witnesses in the latter category and so could form his own assessment. Even so, the contrast in approach is remarkable.
13.151 The double standards which Irving adopts to some of the documents and to some of the witnesses appears to me to be further evidence that Irving is seeking to manipulate the evidence rather than approaching it as a dispassionate, if sometimes mistaken, historian.

UK Energy Sector Welcomes Policy Reforms
By Ben Winkley
The UK government can be pleased with most of the reaction to its proposed energy market reforms, published Thursday. At first glance, the proposals seem both to allay industry concerns and to reflect favorably on the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
The UK energy sector now has the guarantees on pricing it was seeking to enable the sort of large-scale infrastructure investment, in renewable energy, nuclear and gas, needed to keep the lights on.
Germany's Siemens, Europe's dominant wind turbine manufacturer, said the government has addressed "some of the key issues that have previously created uncertainty in the market." Alstom, the French engineering company, described it as "the fundamental building block" upon which companies can look to invest in the UK.

Sony at E3: More Games, but Content and Hardware, Too
Microsoft started Day One of E3 talking about games and nothing else. Sony, which is not the one playing catchup, also discussed movies and TV shows in the works that will only be available on the PlayStation.
Sony's game-focused approach has helped push the company ahead of Microsoft's Xbox One in console sales by more than 1 million units. The Japanese company broadened its message a bit Monday night–and even discussed some hardware, including PlayStation TV–but seemed to focus more on content rather than entertainment apps and related features.
But those seemed mainly a digression from what has mattered the most in selling consoles–games–since Sony and Microsoft launched their latest machines in November.
Sony started its E3 presser showing off trailers and gameplay from "Destiny," the upcoming first-person shooter built by Bungie Studios–the company that built the massively popular "Halo" franchise for Microsoft. Like Halo, Destiny is a game in which heroes bounce around outer space, saving humanity and fighting against and alongside alien lifeforms.
"The 'Destiny' trailer that kicked off tonight's show is the embodiment of our vision," said Andrew House, Sony Computer Entertainment's President and CEO.
All of the games shown in Sony's event were said to be either exclusive to PS4, will arrive on the machine first or "look better" on the Sony console, House said, talking a bit of smack against the competition.
Destiny will also come to Xbox One, for example, but it'll come to PlayStation 4 first, with a number of downloadable weapons and armor hitting Sony's console first. PS4 owners will also get access to the "Destiny" online multiplayer beta version on July 17. A small number of PS4 owners will also be given access to an earlier alpha version of the game's online multiplayer mode–to be eligible, gamers have to sign up at a special website.
Sony also announced that it will launch a white PS4 bundled with a white controller and the "Destiny" game on Sept. 9, the same day the game is released.
TV and Film
The company, whose Sony Pictures unit is known for movies and TV programming, has given a green light to the popular comic book series "Powers" as a two-season TV series exclusive to PlayStation.
The books, and the show, are about two homicide detectives who investigate crimes involving super heroes. Brian Michael Bendis, the writer who created "Powers," will executive produce the show. Casting is under way and the show is set to hit PlayStation's in November. The first episode will be free to all PlayStation owners, and those who are subscribed to Sony's $50-a-year PlayStation Network will be able to watch the whole series for free.
Sony is also turning the popular Ratchet and Clank video game series into a movie that'll be exclusive to the PlayStation as well.
PlayStation TV
The PlayStation TV console launched in Japan last year as an experiment and Sony says reception has been good enough that it will bring the product to the U.S. later this year. The PlayStation TV allows owners to stream games from the PS4 to any television the PlayStation TV is connected to.
It will also stream games from PlayStation Now. When it hits the U.S., and sell for $99 or $139 with a Dual Shock 3 controller and a voucher for "The Lego Movie" game.
Project Morpheus
Sony mentioned that Project Morpheus, its virtual reality headset built for the PS4 (and to compete with Oculus Rift), will be available on the E3 show floor for attendees to try out. But there was no real news about the prototype hardware–no release date, no pricing, and no news of third-party developers making games for it.
PlayStation Network
Sony says that nearly 95% of PlayStations are connected to the Internet, and it's going to use that installed base to forge into streaming games to consoles. On Monday, the company announced that its PlayStation Now streaming gaming service wouldn't just be made available for PS4, but also PS3 and PS Vita. The service will launching in an open beta in the US and Canada on July 31. A YouTube app is coming to PS4 later this year.
PS Now will also be available on select Sony TVs (though Sony didn't say which ones) to allow people to stream games without owning a PlayStation. The play here is clearly to get people interested enough to then go buy a console.
New Franchises
After "Destiny," Sony showed off gameplay footage from "The Order: 1866″–a new third-person shooting game taking place in London (in 1866) and pitting gamers against monsters that are half human, half animal.
Another new property is "Bloodborne," a zombie game that looks to be set in the 18th or 19th century. Sony showed a trailer for the game, but no actually gameplay. It's due for release next year.
A less violent and entirely new game that Sony announced Monday evening, "Entwined," pits gamers against one another as "two souls who are in love but can't be together." This is depicted as two birds that fly through obstacle courses, "lifetimes," and transform stage by stage. At some point, the two birds become one and morph into a dragon. The game feels like a nod to the "art games" seen on PlayStation 3 last generation–titles such as "Flow," "Flower" and "Journey."
"Entwined" launches on PS4 tonight in the PlayStation Store for $9.99, with versions for the PlayStation 3 and handheld PlayStation Vita consoles due to roll out later this year.
Two of the PlayStation 3's biggest titles, "LittleBig Planet" and "Uncharted," are getting next-gen sequels.
A very brief trailer for "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" was played, showing the main character Nathan Drake waking up in a rain forest and picking up a gun. As Drake walks away from the camera, it pans out to show skeletons hanging in trees before revealing the title for the action shooter, and a 2015 release tease.
And then there's "LittleBig Planet 3." The kid-friendly platform-based game series rose to notoriety by enabling gamers to create their own levels that they could share online. That's still the idea in "LittleBig Planet 3," but this time the main character, Sack Boy, has a couple new friends–among then a bird named Swoop.
Sony said that more than 8.7 million levels have been created on PlayStation 3 in "LittleBig Planet" and "LittleBig Planet 2," each of which will be playable in the third game on PS4. "LittleBig Planet 3" arrives this November.
Sony also announced that "Grand Theft Auto V," the blockbuster that released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 last year, is headed to PS4 later this year.
Sony's PlayStation chief House said the game will have "new enhancements and improvements" over previous versions. He also said that gamers who have played the game on PS3 or the Xbox 360 will be able to import their saved data into the PlayStation 4 to pick up where they left of on their older consoles–though House didn't say how exactly that would work.
Another sequel headed for PS4: Ubisoft's "Far Cry 4," an adventure game that pits players in a mountainous wilderness that they have to climb, hike and shoot their way out of.
"Far Cry 4″ goes on sale Nov. 18. It will arrive for other consoles, such as the Xbox One, but on PS3 and PS4, gamers will be able to invite their PlayStation-owning buddies to play the game with them even if they don't own a copy of the game. Sony says this feature will be exclusive to PlayStation.
Sony also showed off game play from the ultra violent fighting series "Mortal Kombat X." The footage was unquestionably the bloodiest of the night, and it elicited big applause from the audience. It is headed to PlayStation 4 and (Xbox One) in 2015.
New gameplay footage of "Batman: Arkham Knight" was also shown. The game will be the first version to introduce the bat mobile and the PS4 game will have exclusive levels featuring Batman villain, the Scarecrow.
Cult Creators
Beloved game designers are also being courted by Sony. "Grim Fandango," a classic PC adventure game from Tim Shaffer, will be remade exclusively for PS4 and PS Vita. And Japan's Suda 51—known for titles such as "No More Heroes" and "Killer 7"—has a new horror game in development for PS4 called "Let it Die," set for a 2015 release.
Indie games
Games from independent studios got a lot of love on Sony's rage as well. Publisher Devolver Digital is bringing over indie games "BroForce," "Titan Souls," "Not a Hero," "Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number," and "The Talos Principle" to PS4.
And the creators behind PlayStation 3's "Journey," an art game in which the main character travels through sand dunes without encountering any enemies—has a new title called "Abzu" that is headed to PlayStation 4. From the trailer shown, the games hero swims deep within the ocean, encounter jellyfish, sharks, and whales. No combat was shown in the "Abzu" trailer.
One standout indie title is "No Man's Sky," a science fiction game inspired by pulp and sci-fi novels of the 60's and 70's. Every player starts the game on a different planet so that no two players have the same experience.

Rights are entitlements or permissions, usually of a legal or moral nature. Rights are of vital importance in the fields of law and ethics, especially theories of justice and deontology.
Natural rights[edit]
Natural rights are inherent choices found by some philosophers to exist logically for each individual, whether they are protected, or infringed, by society, government, or other social interaction.
- People are usually surprised to discover that I hate the phrase "constitutional rights." I hate the phrase because it is terribly misleading. Most of the people who say it or hear it have the impression that the Constitution "grants" them their rights. Nothing could be further from the truth. Strictly speaking it is the Bill of Rights that enumerates our rights, but none of our founding documents bestow anything on you at all [...] The government can burn the Constitution and shred the Bill of Rights, but those actions wouldn't have the slightest effect on the rights you've always had.
- Michael Badnarik, Good to be King (2004).
- The absolute rights of man, considered as a free agent, endowed with discernment to know good from evil, and with power of choosing those measures which appear to him to be most desirable, are usually summed up in one general appellation, and denominated the natural liberty of mankind. This natural liberty consists properly in a power of acting as one thinks fit, without any restraint or control, unless by the law of nature: being a right inherent in us by birth, and one of the gifts of God to man at his creation, when he endowed him with the faculty of freewill. But every man, when he enters into society, gives up a part of his natural liberty, as the price of so valuable a purchase; and, in consideration of receiving the advantages of mutual commerce, obliges himself to conform to those laws, which the community has thought proper to establish.
- William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765–1769), Book I, ch. 1: Of the Absolute Rights of Individuals.
- The public good is in nothing more essentially interested, than in the protection of every individual's private rights.
- Sir William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England (1783, reprinted 1978), 9th ed., book 1, chapter 1, section 3, p. 139.
- A right, in the abstract, is a fact; it is not a thing to be given, established, or conferred; it is. Of the exercise of a right power may deprive me; of the right itself, never.
- Voltairine de Cleyre, in "The Economic Tendency of Freethought" (1890).
- Your life brings you into a multiplicity of relationships with other people. Some of them love justice and righteousness; others do not seem to want to practice them-they do you a wrong. Your soul is not hardened to the suffering they inflict upon you in this way, but you search and examine yourself; you convince yourself that you are in the right, and you rest call and strong in this conviction. However much they outrage me they still will not be able to deprive me of this peace-that I know I am in the right and that I suffer wrong. In this view there is a satisfaction, a joy, that presumably every one of us has tasted, and when you continue to suffer wrong, you are built up by the thought that you are in the right. This point of view is so natural, so understandable, so frequently tested in life, and yet it is not with this that we want to calm doubt and to heal care but by deliberating upon the upbuilding that lies in the thought that we are always in the wrong. Can the opposite point of view have the same effect?
- Soren Kierkegaard Either/Or Part II, Hong p 347 (1843).
- The fundamental source of all your errors, sophisms, and false reasonings, is a total ignorance of the natural rights of mankind. Were you once to become acquainted with these, you could never entertain a thought, that all men are not, by nature, entitled to a parity of privileges. You would be convinced, that natural liberty is a gift of the beneficent Creator, to the whole human race; and that civil liberty is founded in that; and cannot be wrested from any people, without the most manifest violation of justice. Civil liberty is only natural liberty, modified and secured by the sanctions of civil society. It is not a thing, in its own nature, precarious and dependent on human will and caprice; but it is conformable to the constitution of man, as well as necessary to the well-being of society.
- Alexander Hamilton, The Farmer Refuted (1775).
- The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.
- Alexander Hamilton, The Farmer Refuted (1775).
- In recent years it has been suggested that the Second Amendment protects the "collective" right of states to maintain militias, while it does not protect the right of "the people" to keep and bear arms...The phrase "the people" meant the same thing in the Second Amendment as it did in the First, Fourth, Ninth and Tenth Amendments — that is, each and every free person.
A select militia defined as only the privileged class entitled to keep and bear arms was considered an anathema to a free society, in the same way that Americans denounced select spokesmen approved by the government as the only class entitled to the freedom of the press.
If anyone entertained this notion in the period during which the Constitution and Bill of Rights were debated and ratified, it remains one of the most closely guarded secrets of the 18th century, for no known writing surviving from the period between 1787 and 1791 states such a thesis.
- Stephen P. Holbrook, That Every Man Be Armed: The Evolution of a Constitutional Right.
- We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable Rights; that among these, are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness; that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
- That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.
- George Mason, Virginia Declaration of Rights, (1776).
- [On completely popular government:] Its superiority in reference to present well-being rests upon two principles, of as universal truth and applicability as any general propositions which can be laid down respecting human affairs. The first is, that the rights and interests of every or any person are only secure from being disregarded, when the person interested is himself able, and habitually disposed, to stand up for them. The second is, that the general prosperity attains a greater height, and is more widely diffused, in proportion to the amount and variety of the personal energies enlisted in promoting it.
- John Stuart Mill, Considerations on Representative Government (1861), chapter 3, p. 55.
- You Own Your Own Life...
To lose your Life is to lose your Future, to lose your Liberty is to lose your Present
…and to lose the product of your Life and Liberty is to lose that portion of your Past that produced it
A product of you Life and Liberty is your Property
- Ken Schoolland, The Philosophy of Liberty[1]
- Not only is democracy mystical nonsense, it is also immoral. If one man has no right to impose his wishes on another, then ten million men have no right to impose their wishes on the one, since the initiation of force is wrong (and the assent of even the most overwhelming majority can never make it morally permissible). Opinions—even majority opinions—neither create truth nor alter facts. A lynch mob is democracy in action. So much for mob rule.
- Linda & Morris Tannehill, Ch. 4, "Government—An Unnecessary Evil", The Market for Liberty (1970), pp. 33–34.
- 'That which has no existence cannot be destroyed — that which cannot be destroyed cannot require anything to preserve it from destruction. Natural rights is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetorical nonsense — nonsense upon stilts. But this rhetorical nonsense ends in the old strain of mischievous nonsense for immediately a list of these pretended natural rights is given, and those are so expressed as to present to view legal rights. And of these rights, whatever they are, there is not, it seems, any one of which any government can, upon any occasion whatever, abrogate the smallest particle.
- Jeremy Bentham, Anarchical Fallacies (1843), Vol. 2.
- One can conclude that certain essential, or fundamental, rights should exist in any just society. It does not follow that each of those essential rights is one that we as judges can enforce under the written Constitution. The Due Process Clause is not a guarantee of every right that should inhere in an ideal system. Many argue that a just society grants a right to engage in homosexual conduct. If that view is accepted, the Bowers decision in effect says the State of Georgia has the right to make a wrong decision—wrong in the sense that it violates some people's views of rights in a just society. We can extend that slightly to say that Georgia's right to be wrong in matters not specifically controlled by the Constitution is a necessary component of its own political processes. Its citizens have the political liberty to direct the governmental process to make decisions that might be wrong in the ideal sense, subject to correction in the ordinary political process.

Civil Rights[edit]
Civil rights are a class of rights that ensure one's ability to participate in the civil and political life of the state without discrimination or repression.
- Since the narrower or wider community of the peoples of the earth has developed so far that a violation of rights in one place is felt throughout the world, the idea of a cosmopolitan right is not fantastical, high-flown or exaggerated notion. It is a complement to the unwritten code of the civil and international law, necessary for the public rights of mankind in general and thus for the realization of perpetual peace.
- Immanuel Kant, Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch (1795).
- "Every segment of our population, and every individual, has a right to expect from his government a fair deal."
- Harry Truman, speech to Congress 6 September 1945.
- At the foundation of our civil liberties lies the principle that denies to government officials an exceptional position before the law and which subjects them to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen.
- Justice Louis D. Brandeis, Burdeau v. McDowell, 1921.
- Civil Rights opened the windows. When you open the windows, it does not mean that everybody will get through. We must create our own opportunities.
- Mary Frances Berry [2]
- It is a perversion of terms to say that a charter gives rights. It operates by a contrary effect — that of taking rights away. Rights are inherently in all the inhabitants; but charters, by annulling those rights, in the majority, leave the right, by exclusion, in the hands of a few. … They...consequently are instruments of injustice. The fact therefore must be that the individuals themselves, each in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a contract with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist.
- Thomas Paine, Rights of Man (1791).
- Thomas Jefferson was right in declaring that all human beings are created (or, or if you will, are by nature) equal. They are also, in terms of their individual differences, unequal in the varying degrees to which they possess the species-specific potentialities common to all. These individual inequalities, when they are recognized as subordinate to the basic equality of all human beings in their common humanity or specific nature, do not generate difficulties that must be overcome or eradicated in order to increase social justice.
- Mortimer J Adler, Ten Philosophical Mistakes, p. 165 (1985).
- Rights presuppose duties, if they are not to become mere licence
- Benedict XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate (29 June 2009), Chapter 43.
- ...if inequalities stare us in the face the essential equality too is not to be missed. Every man has an equal right to the necessaries of life even as birds and beasts have. And since every right carries with it a corresponding duty and the corresponding remedy for resisting any attack upon it, it is merely a matter of finding out the corresponding duties and remedies to vindicate the elementary fundamental equality.
- Mohandas Gandhi, "Questions and Answers", Young India magazine, 26th March 1931. Quoted in Gandhi: The Essential Writings. Judith M. Brown, Oxford University Press, 1998 (pp 97-98).
- If instead of insisting on rights everyone does his duty, there will immediately be the rule of order established among mankind. There is no such thing as the divine right of kings to rule and the humble duty of the ryots to pay respectful obedience.

- To name a thing is easy: the difficulty is to discern it before its appearance. In giving expression to the last stage of an idea, — an idea which permeates all minds, which to-morrow will be proclaimed by another if I fail to announce it to-day, — I can claim no merit save that of priority of utterance. Do we eulogize the man who first perceives the dawn?
Yes: all men believe and repeat that equality of conditions is identical with equality of rights; that property and robbery are synonymous terms; that every social advantage accorded, or rather usurped, in the name of superior talent or service, is iniquity and extortion. All men in their hearts, I say, bear witness to these truths; they need only to be made to understand it.
- Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, What is Property? (1840), Ch. I: "Method Pursued in this Work. The Idea of a Revolution".
- Rights are grand things, divine things, in this world of God; but the way in which we expound those rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. I see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. Alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights!
- Frederick William Robertson, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 524.
- Rights may be universal, but their enforcement must be local.
- All existing right is - foreign law; someone makes me out to be in the right, "does right by me". But should I therefore be in the right if all the world made me out so? And yet what else is the right that I obtain in the State, in society, but a right of those foreign to me? …If you let yourself be made out in the right by another, you must no less let yourself be made out in the wrong by him; if justification and reward come to you from him, expect also his arraignment and punishment. Alongside right goes wrong, alongside legality crime.
- Max Stirner, from The Ego and His Own (1845).
- If you say to someone who has ears to hear: "What you are doing to me is not just," you may touch and awaken at its source the spirit of attention and love. But it is not the same with words like, "I have the right..." or "you have no right to..." They evoke a latent war and awaken the spirit of contention.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Sales were up 1.8 percent year-over-year in September, according to a sales tax report from the Finance Department.
The summer, including June through September, closed with an increase of 4.8 percent in sales. Year-to-date, sales in Snowmass Village are up 6.3 percent.
Lodging brought in more than a quarter of the revenue reported for September, although that industry was down 7.2 percent. Industries that saw losses included restaurants (0.9 percent), food, drug and liquor stores (27.5 percent), and miscellaneous (20.8 percent). Sectors that saw gains included sports equipment (40 percent), general retail (14 percent), special events (608.2 percent) and utilities (2.7 percent).
After lodging, restaurants carried 20.6 percent of revenue and general retail 20.2 percent.
The real estate transfer tax brought in more than $900,000 in revenue to the town in September, the biggest gain in that fund since March 2007. The gain is mostly thanks to the $90 million purchase of Base Village by Related Cos. on Sept. 28.

Challengers make it back on top in softball
Winning the Southern Cascade League title seemed like a pretty bold goal this spring considering the recent history of the Cascade Christian...
KLAMATH FALLS — Clutch hits by Joe Wardle and Gregory Hurd keyed Hidden Valley's four-run outburst in the top of the seventh and the Mustangs narrowly avoided disaster in the bottom of the inning to beat Skyline Conference rival Henley 5-4 Tuesday in a wild Class 4A state baseball semifinal.
The victory earns the sixth-seeded and 15th-ranked Mustangs (17-6) a spot in the championship game for the first time in school history. Hidden Valley, which finished third in the Skyline, will face top-ranked Ontario (20-7) on Saturday at Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer. Ontario beat North Valley, another Skyline Conference team, 6-2 in the other semifinal.
Wardle and Hurd each came through with two-run singles to help the Mustangs open up a 5-1 lead in the seventh. That proved to be just enough after Henley scored four runs of its own, all with two outs, and had the tying run on first base when Hurd struck out Henley No. 3 hitter Jon Guzman to end the game.
Hurd went the distance on the mound, striking out five while allowing four runs on six hits to improve to 11-0. Henley starter Jesse Hilyard surrendered three runs on six hits and two walks in 61/3 innings before giving way to Guzman, who gave up two runs on three hits in the final two-thirds of the inning.
Hurd was 3-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs, Wardle was 1-for-2 with three RBIs and Kody Garrison was 2-for-3 with two runs.
Hidden Valley 000 010 4 — 5 9 1

ONTARIO 6, NORTH VALLEY 2 — At Grants Pass, Brady Baker hit a grand slam to help lift top-seeded Ontario into the Class 4A state championship game.
The Tigers (20-7) will play Hidden Valley (17-6) at Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer on Saturday.
Baker's home run came in the top of the third inning with his team trailing 2-0. He finished 2-for-2 and teammate Aaron Alexander bashed two doubles.
Jake Herklotz allowed three hits, struck out six and stranded six runners on base in 41/3 innings of relief pitching for the Knights (21-6), who set a school record for wins in a season.

How To Buy Basketball Shoes
To handle the rigors of the game, basketball shoes must offer durability, support, stability, flexibility and shock absorption. The constant starting, abrupt stopping, high jumps and quick side-to-side movements involved with basketball make these features absolutely essential when choosing your playing shoes. It's also important to factor in your personal playing style, which can make a difference in the type of shoe you'll need.

Shoe Construction
Understanding the construction of basketball shoes and determining which features are most important to you will
help you select the right shoe.
The upper is the soft top of the shoe. Its job is to keep the foot snug and securely in place during play.
This is the layer of soft, shock-absorbing material between the outsole and the upper. It is often considered the
most important part of a basketball shoe, because the construction and materials used will impact the levels of
cushioning and shock absorption and can affect a player's ability to explode off the floor.
This is the rubber bottom of the shoe.

SAN FRANCISCO -- With a diverse mix of immigrants lined up behind him, President Barack Obama set out in a speech Monday to hold House Republicans' feet to the fire for obstructing immigration reform. Instead he felt the heat himself as activists given places of honor heckled him for his administration's record number of deportations.
In an extraordinary example of how Obama often has been blindsided of late, the president turned to look back at what was supposed to be a panorama of supportive faces to find Ju Hong, a 24-year-old South Korean immigrant, shouting: "I need your help." Hong said families like his are being torn apart, and urged Obama to use his executive power to stop it. "Stop deportations, yes we can," Hong and others chanted, stunning the 400 people gathered for the speech at the Betty Ong Chinese Recreation Center.
Obama quickly called off Secret Service agents who had moved to remove the demonstrators.
"I respect the passion of these young people because they feel deeply about the concerns for their families," Obama said. "If, in fact, I could solve all these problems without passing laws in Congress, then I would do so.
"But we're also a nation of laws, that's part of our tradition," he continued. "And so the easy way out is to try to yell and pretend like I can do something by violating our laws. And what I'm proposing is the harder path, which is to use our democratic processes to achieve the same goal."
With his job approval ratings near their nadir amid the botched technology and political pressures of the new health care law's rollout, Obama sought safe haven in a region he has always counted on for support. He barnstormed the Bay Area to try to return immigration to the headlines and to raise money for Democrats. Yet even at one of those fundraisers, an audience member's urging that he use executive powers to bypass a gridlocked Congress seemed to underscore that this president is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
Obama framed immigration reform as a moral and economic necessity in order for the nation to reach its potential. On Thanksgiving this Thursday, millions of American families will recall and retell their tales of immigration and self-sacrifice so their children could have better lives, he said.
"What makes us American is our shared belief in certain enduring principles, our allegiance to a set of ideals, to a creed, to the enduring promise of this country," he said. "The only thing standing in our way right now is the unwillingness of certain Republicans in Congress to catch up with the rest of the country."
Reform must include everything from stronger border security and holding employers accountable for knowingly hiring undocumented workers, to eliminating the family-visa backlog, attracting more skilled entrepreneurs, and "providing a pathway to earned citizenship for those who are living in the shadows," Obama said. "This isn't just the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do."
House Speaker John Boehner said last week that Congress must act on immigration reform, but he has refused to let the Senate-passed bill come up for consideration. His caucus is split over whether reform should include providing a path to citizenship for those already here.
"I believe the speaker is sincere, I think he genuinely wants to get it done," Obama said Monday, referring to Boehner. "But it's going to require some courage. There are some members of the Republican caucus who think this is bad politics for them back home."
"We can't leave this problem for another generation to solve," he said. "If we don't tackle this now, we're undercutting our own future."
But Hong -- whose mother brought him to this country at age 11, and who has qualified for "deferred action" under the Obama administration's policy -- was not convinced. He and his cohorts are affiliated with a group called ASPIRE, Asian Students Promoting Immigrant Rights through Education. After the speech, he said it had been "a huge opportunity for me to be here and speak out," but he felt Obama had resorted to "political talking points" rather than addressing the protesters' concerns.
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Pleasanton, was among several House members at the speech, and later Monday said he understands the protesters' anger: "Until we pass immigration reform, we're in a position where we've got both sides of the issue unhappy -- one side that rightfully thinks we're not doing enough, and one that fears we'll do something."
But some immigration reform advocacy groups said Obama is reaping what he has sown. The Obama administration has deported more immigrants annually than the George W. Bush administration, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
"The president has the power to halt his destructive deportations and must use it now," said Arturo Carmona, executive director of Presente.org. "Until he stops the deportations, we will only escalate against him and his policies further. He can't fool us anymore."
After the speech, Obama headlined a Democratic National Committee fundraising luncheon at the San Francisco Jazz Center before attending another fundraiser at the home of Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, with about 30 tech executives who paid $32,400 each. Obama then flew to Los Angeles to headline two more Democratic fundraisers Monday night.
At the jazz center event, Obama spoke about the need to create jobs while restoring the nation's social safety net.
But when an audience member urged him to proceed by executive order -- much as the immigration protesters had in Chinatown -- Obama responded, "A lot of people have been saying this lately on every problem. Just sign an executive order and we can ... nullify Congress."
When the audience applauded, he said, "that's not how it works. ... There is no shortcut to politics. There is no shortcut to democracy. We have to win on the merits of the argument ... as laborious as it seems sometimes."

Colleges Catholic
Attempt Failed
American Situation
Remains a Problem
Smart-alecks used to joke that "Catholic university" was an oxymoron—a
contradiction in terms, like jumbo shrimp and postal service. How
can an educational institution that offers "the universe" of knowledge—the
full panoply of academic disciplines and approaches—also be "Catholic"—beholden
to Roman Catholicism, the pope and magisterium?
This month at their meeting in Washington, D.C., the U.S. bishops
will again grapple with this question. It's bound to be a telling
debate. Nine years ago Pope John Paul II issued an apostolic constitution
on Catholic universities, Ex Corde Ecclesiae (From the Heart
of the Church). That document was the result of 20 years of consultation
worldwide with university presidents, professors and associations,
and an attempt to apply the 1983 Code of Canon Law to Catholic higher
Ex Corde Ecclesiae was initially praised for its vigorous
defense of academic freedom and the pursuit of truth. It said Catholic
schools are to provide a Catholic presence in the world, to engage
the local culture and to foster the dialogue between science and religion.
But Ex Corde Ecclesiae also intended to clarify the relationship
between the Church and institutions of higher education. It requires
bishops' conferences to establish norms for implementing this document
in their countries.
Attempt Failed
The attempt in 1995 by the U.S. bishops "to place Ex Corde Ecclesiae
within the context of our nation" was rejected by the Holy See in
1997 as too vague. The committee, headed by Bishop John J. Leibrecht
of Springfield-Cape Girardeau, Missouri, had deliberately chosen a
non-juridical application intended to preserve the values inherent
in Ex Corde Ecclesiae without making new law.
The primary sticking point is the application of Canon #812, which
states that "it is necessary that those who teach theological disciplines
in any institute of higher studies have a mandate from the competent
ecclesiastical authority."
A subcommittee of canonists, led by Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua of
Philadelphia, addressed the Holy See's concerns. Now the full bishops'
conference has a new text to debate.
American Situation
Currently, 238 American colleges and universities call themselves
Catholic. With 698,855 students, this is the largest such system in
the world, and was achieved in the face of Church/state separation.
Most colleges were started by religious orders of men and women but
may now have autonomous boards.
The institutions range from small liberal-arts colleges set in idyllic
rural settings to large urban commuter schools. Each has its own identity
and mission.
The pressures on Catholic colleges today are intense and varied—financial,
legal and cultural. To give an example, the 129-year-old Loyola University
Chicago, under severe financial pressure since detaching its medical
center, is struggling to cut $20 million from its budget and had to
raise tuition to $18,310 a year this fall, reported The Chicago
Tribune (September 19, 1999).
Any norms that would put Catholic colleges at risk for losing government
funds or inviting lawsuits on grounds of religious discrimination
would only add to the stresses these schools already face.
Catholic schools are not wishy-washy in their religious identity.
They do not want to have to detach theology departments into separate
divinity schools as Protestant-founded institutions like Harvard and
Vanderbilt did, for the sake of academic credibility and denominational
arm's length.
Remains a Problem
The new text to be voted on by the bishops now specifies that the
purpose of a Catholic university is not "religious indoctrination
or proselytization," which could have jeopardized public aid; recommends
the majority of the trustees and faculty should be Catholics "committed
to the Church," rather than using the ambiguous term "faithful Catholics,"
and adds a qualifier, "as much as possible"; clarifies that administrators
are left free to hire and fire faculty and that bishops do not enter
into the college's hiring decisions, even for theology faculty.
These changes improve the document, but the problem of the mandate
(approval by a bishop) required for Catholic theology teachers remains.
According to Dr. Terrence Tilley, chairman of the religious studies
department at the University of Dayton, refined guidelines about the
mandate are still problematic enough to send the wrong message, namely,
that one's academic freedom is restricted. That could discourage top-caliber
Catholic students from studying at Roman Catholic institutions.
Marianist Brother Raymond L. Fitz, president of the same university
and a consultant for the bishops' committee on Ex Corde Ecclesiae,
concurs. While "bishops have the right to be vigilant over Catholic
universities and comment on that," he says, "I just don't think the
mandate is the right way to do that."
In fact, no regional or national norms from anywhere in the world
have yet been approved by the Holy See. The United States need not
be the first.
Because these guidelines could irredeemably alter the character and
mission of U.S. Catholic higher education, why not take a little longer
to achieve real consensus?—B.B.

Is there some way to do image playlist type things?
I would like to be able to put a most of my images in a list, randomize them and display them on my PS3. I can currently select all photos from the library (which includes all the stupid AlbumArt images since there's no way to filter them out), but even here it can't be randomized. Unfortunately I also can't select slideshow simply on the parent folder, because images are in subfolders from there.
I use linux. Perhaps there is some easy way to generate an rss file from a folder of images, especially matching some set of criteria? Anyone have any ideas on this?
edit: I don't really see this as a "Feature suggestion" since I'd like to do this *now* and figure it should be possible with some set of tools to create a web image "feed"

Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2011
|Climbed the italian normal route form Rifugio Quintino Sella.
We met very high winds on the ridge winch made many teams turn back. Visibility was low at moments.
Overall a very nice easy climb with beautiful views...when the clouds allow..
|Posted Aug 25, 2011 1:06 pm
|Route Climbed: Traverse Date Climbed: august 2011 / october 2015
|2011: After traverse of the Pollux, we continued from the Zwillingsjoch over the NW Ridge. Fairly steep in places, no track, but in good snow conditions definitely better climbing than the highway of the normal route. Descent to the Felikjoch and then again over the Castor back to the bivouac Rossi e Volante.
2015: Castor lies on the way from Klein Matterhorn to the Rifugio Quintino Sella, hence I traversed the summit a second time. Perfect conditions, clear weather but windy.

Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2011
|Clmibed it after Pollux with group of 8. Non-technical climb to the top, only bergschrund to cross near the ridge and then summit ridge. Final climb on the summit ridge and then descent via the other side is good fun though! Amazing weather and views as well!

Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2011
|Climbed from Testa Grigia, leaving very early (2am) in very windy weather. Made almost no stops due to the cold and summited shortly after 6am. Wanted to 'quickly' do Pollux afterwards, but my climbing partner decided otherwise.

|Brother, Dad and I climbed Castor to acclimatize for both the Dom and Mont Blanc. Great fun, not so much for my brother who got sick from drinking to much chicken broth the night before but he still managed to summit with us.
|Posted Feb 13, 2011 12:53 am

|Solo ascent from Rossi and Volante bivouac hut. Continued to Liskamm, and thus had to do the Castor traverse again by return. Good conditions though it had been snowing all day long the day before.

|From Klein Matterhorn station
Date Climbed: Aug 27, 2009
|Summitted in two hours from Klein Matterhorn station. Mostly easy glacier travel. Snow climb to the summit was easy. The gaping, icy bergschrund we had to climb over was the most serious hole I've ever had to negotiate. The short knife-edge ridge to the summit was exhilarating. This peak surprised me - I thought it was a beautiful climb. A nice introduction to snow routes in in Alps. Afterwards we continued over both summits of Lyskamm and descended the Grenz Glacier to catch the Gornergrat back down to Zermatt. An exhausting but incredible day!

Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2009
|Took first lift up to Klein Matterhorn. An easy trek across the glacier and an easy climb to the summit. Snow conditions and weather were good for the ascent, but the return trip was difficult since we bagged Pollux and did not begin our return across the glacier until far too late.

|Kl. Matterhorn -> Castor -> Pollux -> Kl. Matterhorn. Took the first cablecar up. Good conditions with a hard snow crust. Reached the top of Castor in 3 hours, a pretty easy ascend. Mostly cloudy but we got a few great views. Climbed Pollux on the way back. Speed is important if you want to catch the last cablecar. Another nice day in the mtns.
