Use the Tripod along with the Solo Stove Pot 1800 or Solo Stove 2 Pot set for increased stability. Lightweight and compact, the Tripod is easy to setup and disassemble. The adjustable hang chain allows you to control the height at which your pot hangs over your flame giving you a more flexible outdoor cooking experience. The Solo Stove Tripod can be used in combination with any Solo Stove.
Why should I use a Tripod?
Tripods add a new dimension to outdoor cooking. Achieve a simmer or keep food warm.
What pots work with the Tripod?
The Solo Stove Pot 1800 and 2 Pot Set both have hang bails and work well with the Tripod.
What stoves work well with the Tripod?
The Solo Stove Titan and Campfire work well with this tripod.
Is this Tripod sturdy?
It's extremely sturdy when set up on soft ground. With tapered legs, the tripod can be pushed into the ground for added stability.
How high should I hang my pot over my stove?
It depends what you're trying to do. With an adjustable chain, you can hang your pot right on top of your stove for more heat or higher to achieve a simmer or to keep food warm.
Does this windscreen come with a stuff sack?
Yep! The stuff sack is a great way to keep the windscreen protected.
The tripod comes in its own storage bag and can be very helpful when resting your pot on the Campfire provides too much heat (or you like big flames!). It will assemble together in just a few short moments, and comes with its own chain to hang the pot from. The legs are made of solid aluminum, thread into each other, and the bottom legs are pointed for easy insertion into the earth. It's not a necessity IMHO, but it's nice to have!

An excellent addition to my Titans with pots. Thank you.

I have not used it yet, but I assembled it, and am satisfied. I know it'll be just what I need for boiling dried beans, and for simmering, etc., etc.. Would have preferred a welded link daisy chain, but I happen to have some of that anyway.

I have used a lot of tripods over the years and this one out preforms them all. The quality of the product is excellent and the size is perfect. This breaks down and stores in a great storage bag. If your looking at purchasing a tri-pod do not hesitate on it. Its worth it.

The tripod for the Solo Stove is a great idea. It's small size and easy portability make it an ideal accessory to use when needed. The tripod is the type of device which won't always be needed when cooking with the Solo Stove kit, but will prove invaluable when needed.
The tripod disassembles into a tiny package which makes it a natural for portability. The tripod conforms to the same high quality standards as other Solo Stove products and accessories. Adding it to your camp cooking inventory is a no-brainer. Once you've seen and used it, it's another high quality "must have."

I dont know how I have been cooking all these years outdoors and never used one of these before, but i do know it will always be in the gear from this point on. The Tripod is a very beneficial part of my kitchen gear now. It lifted the pot just enough( adjustable height) that I was able to maintain the fire without removing the pot from the heat, but yet kept a steady heat cooking our dinner. NO BURNT HANDS from poorly insulated handles while cooking.
The poles are VERY sturdy, and personally I am more than pleased to see no shock cords. When you screw the legs together you can feel this is well made. Its fairly light weight also, which is a bonus to the pack up. About the only downfall I can mention at this point is I am surprised with the "nesting effect" of the SoloStove and the SoloStove 1800 pot I have that they haven't found a way to include the tripod in the nest yet.
I would definitely suggest grabbing yourself one of these tripods while you can if you haven't already.

The Solo Stove Tripod is everything I had hoped it would be. I couldn't wait to get out to the campsite to try it last weekend. The tripod came in a nice black water resistant nylon drawstring bag, which takes up about 14"x2"x1". Instructions were not included, but assembly was relatively easy. The very sturdy legs screw together smoothly, and the tapered points on the bottom legs make it easy to stick the tripod into soft ground, adding extra stability. Make sure you do not cross-thread the legs when screwing them together, or you may strip the threads. Standing on its own, the tripod is stable; it would take some manpower to knock it over. The fact that it is a tripod allows you to set it up on an uneven surface, and it remains stable, so if your pot slides off your stove often, you should consider getting this and hanging your pot to keep it level. Fully assembled, it's about 30" tall.
When hanging the pot on the chain at full-length without the tripod stuck into the ground, the pot sits on the Solo Stove Titan (which is 5.75" tall). The adjustable chain allows you to hang the pot at whatever height you'd like. This was especially handy when I heated my beef stew, which I did at about 6" above the stove. Additional photos on the packaging or in instructions on how to adjust the chain would have been helpful, but I figured it out eventually with trial and error. I think that the hook that holds the pot should be more closed so that when stirring, there's less likelihood of the pot falling off the hook (you can probably bend the hook yourself if you want).
I used the tripod with the Solo Stove Titan wood burning stove and Solo Stove Pot 1800, but the tripod could be used in other cooking applications as well (over other stoves or over a campfire if you don't mind sticking the legs into the fire). My Solo Stove Pot 1800 is about 5" in diameter but I believe you'd be able to use any pot with a diameter under around 7-8". Overall, this tripod is strong, sturdy, and stable enough to meet any of your camp cooking needs.

Lightweight and easily stored when disassembled. Could even be use over a small fire without the stove if need be. Seems durable and made of high quality material. When legs are put together a small amount of squeaking occurred but a puff of lock graphite stopped that. Definitely reduces the amount of soot onto pot but that was not a major concern of mine . I believe the main benefit for me will be the use of it in keeping something warm without sitting it directly onto the stove. Also for something you would want to cook slow at lower temps.
This will be my first tripod for camping.
I will keep this in my camping gear and would recommend this as good item for anyone. Good price,light weight,easily stored, a nice addition for your camp.

One of the big selling points of this tripod is the easy chain adjustability. I used the tripod with the solostove titan set up. You have great control of the heat when you are cooking. You can adjust the chain to keep your food warm without burning it or it allows you to heat it up slowly so you can finish your other tasks around camp. It sets up and breaks down in no time at all and comes with a handy storage bag. Once the tripod is broken down and put in the bag it is very easy to pack up and throw in your day pack or bug out bag for all of the preppers out there. Once again solostove has delivered a quality made and user friendly product. If you are looking for a lightweight versatile tripod to add to your gear I would strongly recommend the solo stove tripod.

I am very happy with this lightweight tripod. I was able to set it up in a few minutes and found it to be very sturdy. I used this tripod to hang my Solo Stove 1800 pot over the Solo Stove Titan stove for cooking. The tripod has an adjustable chain that allowed me to better control the heat and hold the pot about 2 inches above the stove. I found it to be very useful on uneven ground where the pot may not be as secure when resting on the stove. This also gave my the ability to use larger sticks and branches to burn than I normally would use in the stove.
The tripod is also great for use over a campfire or a fire hole and freeing up your regular cook stove for another pot or skillet.
The Tripod unscrews easily and quickly (2-3 minutes tops) packing into its own small nylon bag. It weighs less than a pound and takes up almost no space in my pack, so I will bring it along on my backpacking and camping trips. Highly recommended!

This morning snowflakes danced past my window so I guess it is time for the annual retelling of my favorite winter old wives tale. I once learned this tale and instantly had to test it that year and subsequent years and it keeps on being true with some minor adjustments.
Premise: The date of the month of the first snowfall in which the paw prints of a cat can be seen predicts the number of snowstorms for that winter season.
I pray every year that the date of the first snow fall will be within the first fifteen days of the month. I live by Backus Hospital so those are the snowfalls I track. You have to be responsible for keeping track of the storms where you live or work.� I have done this at home, at work, and in a 5th grade classroom. Its just fun and my logic is that every snowfall brings us one step closer to the last storm of the season.
Only �snowfalls count as storms but you can track other precipitation as well for accuracy. For my chart I use the following as column titles: Predicted Snow Storm Number, Date of storm, amount of storm, type of other precipitation.
Do this alone, with family, or with friends. It is just for fun. See if it works! Now remember no snow until early December - very early December.

Earlier on in the year, I discussed how there are plenty of respectable, long-term, organised not-for-profit organisations that promote women and science. Recently, I learned of a new one.
One of my regular reads at Scienceblogs.com features an interview – from 'Blog Around the Clock' –
Gabrielle Lyon is the Executive Director and Co-founder of Project Exploration… Project Exploration is working to literally change the face of science – one student at a time. Project Exploration is a Chicago-based, nonprofit science education organization dedicated to bringing the excitement of discovery to the public–especially minority youth and girls. We get kids interested, keep them interested, and give them the tools they need to support their interests. We work in three areas–youth development, services for teachers, and public programs like traveling exhibits and a free educational web site.
As a program, you can see it's aiming at a broad range of issues, not just the area of students. Its overview reflects how the science program is taking steps to address an area of need and supporting out-of-school:
Our science immersion programs serve more than 250 Chicago Public School students, ranging in age from 12-17, with intensive after-school, service learning, and summer science programs. We inspire students about the natural world and their own potential, and we coach their development as successful learners, enabling them to achieve academically and personally.
* 70% of participants are female
* 85% percent of our students are from low-income families
* 65% are African American, 25% Latino, 10% Caucasian.
* 93% graduate high school (compared with 47% of all Chicago Public School students)
* 70% enroll in a four-year college
* 50% of all students who graduate high school as Project Exploration field alumni are majoring in science
Project Exploration girls are nearly five times more likely to pursue science in college than the national average.
Very much worth checking out – ESPECIALLY the The Status Quo vs. Project Exploration part as it deals with an issue that has always concerned me – how do schools that aren't inner-city elite and/or don't have gifted and talented programs get access to good education programs?
After reading about how the achievement of friends influences a girl's interest in science, I notice that this networking for young women is a vital part of encouraging a proactive mindset:
Girls in high school take as many math courses as boys, influenced by close friends and peers who are doing well in school. More than boys, girls look to their close friends when they make important decisions, such as whether to take math and what math classes to take, confirming how significant peers are during adolescence… The study is published in the January/February 2008 issue of the journal Child Development.
Researchers looked at 6,547 high-school girls and boys who had a variety of relationships with peers and tracked the math courses they took. All of the students had taken part in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health from 1995 to 2001.
The researchers found that, contrary to popular opinion but in line with recent government findings, girls have caught up with boys in terms of the math courses they take in high school. One reason this is so, they found, is the kinds of friends and peers they have in high school. All teens girls as well as boys with close friends and other peers who made good grades took more higher-level math than other teens, according to the study. But the connection between these relationships and the math classes was stronger for girls than for boys.
…These findings stress the need to turn attention away from documenting gender differences in math course-taking in high school and toward looking at the reasons why girls and boys take different paths to the same outcomes, according to Robert Crosnoe, associate professor of sociology at the University of Texas at Austin and the study's lead author.
This also encourages me to look more into how female peer groups influence belief in pseudoscientific concepts, something I'm writing my thesis upon this year.
In regards to Project Exploration, you may note that it is a correctly registered non-profit organisation, like the ones I have mentioned previously – "Feel free to make a donation of any size. We will put it to good work. We run a tight ship and donations go where they're supposed to" which is another important factor – accountability, statistics and reporting honestly about what progress a group makes.
It's like the word 'scholarship', where there's kind of an expectation that there will be accountability for what was given and that feedback will stem from projects undertaken. As a friend of mine wrote, 'being skeptical and going to school is a good thing; going to school to research or study something which can feed back into skeptical communication and education is better.'
That's the question. What's progress? Is progress seeing more women on an Amazing Meeting stage? Or having more women identify themselves as skeptics? Must we assume that 'supportive of science' immediately equal 'skeptic'?
For example – I noticed that Sharon Begley is scheduled to present at TAM6. Her book Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform Ourselves was released last year and she is a senior Science writer for Newsweek and the Wall Street Journal;
"Begley walks readers through the seminal experiments showing that in fact new neurons are created in the brain every day, even in people in their 70s. With frequent tangents into Buddhist philosophy, Begley surveys current knowledge of neuroplasticity. Most interesting is a series of experiments with Buddhist adepts who have spent over 10,000 hours meditating. What these experiments show is tantalizing: it might be possible to train the brain to be better at feeling certain emotions, such as compassion. No less interesting are the hurdles the scientists face in recruiting participants; yogis replied that if these scientists wanted to understand meditation, they should meditate."
Why did I pick it up? I've been looking a little into meditation and the effect it has on pain, after reading up on acupuncture (my Psychology textbook has some discussion about the difficulty of setting up placebos for acupuncture). One 2007 study concluded that a "… rigorous systematic review found only two RCTs of meditation-based therapy for anxiety disorders, neither of which were of high quality. The current evidence base is thus shown to be weak and a high dropout rate is highlighted."
I had a discussion with a friend about her claims, where she seems to be substituting a brain-body dualism for a mind-body dualism. "If her schtick is 'the mind is what the brain does', that is really old news, and the idea that thinking differently can eventually give rise to changes that are measured with scanners… not surprising. … So long as we are trying to change our brains by changing our minds, we are doing it the hard way. We need to change our environments."
Yeah. We're heading into Deepak Chopra world with Begley. THIS is what rallying to 'get women on the lineup' at TAM means? Discussing this with her further would be of use to skeptics at the Amazing Meeting 6, I would suggest!
It's moments like this that I recollect upon how I know that there's PLENTY of women in science-related fields already and many women who self-identify as skeptics. But people supporting a skeptical world-view full stop seems to be a more important issue. In addition, 'skeptic' is not a blanket word that can be applied to everyone who supports science and nor should it be assumed. It'd be a great world if it were true, but not every Mythbuster is going to question chiropractors, as discovered at TAM4 when one happened to mention that they were taking their wife to one after the conference! We cannot assume it so easily, as many factors contribute to the answer to 'why not?'
Women involved in promoting investigations of the paranormal and pseudoscientific isn't new either. Dr Karen Stollznow, for example, who has been writing and investigating for nearly a decade. Lynne Kelly, author of 'The Skeptics Guide to the Paranormal'. The co-presenter 'Swoopy' on Skepticality, who has shown more resilience than most people I know, let alone women, in running a show during the absence of her co-presenter Derek.
Vicky Hyde, the Chair-entity of the New Zealand Skeptics, Dr. Ginger Campbell of Brain Science Podcast, Carol Tarvis, Barbara Walker, Anne Druyan, Dr Harriet Hall, Dr Eugenie Scott, Elizabeth Loftus, Lisa Jong-Soon Goodlin and Ginny Mauldin-Kinney are some who have been 'in the field' for years and doing very fine work. I myself interviewed Dr Krissy Wilson, who is one of many female graduates and wonderfully confident spokespeople for skepticism, who came from Goldsmiths College, London. Another inspirational woman is Dr Caroline Watt, who has been another great help when pointing me in the right direction for my research. I cannot, of course, forget the woman who started the Skeptical Community forum – the legendary Girl 6, aka Ms. Maira Benjamin.
Would you like even further back in history? Annie Laurie Gaylor wrote an entire book entitled 'Women without Superstition', on women freethinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth century, which holds several examples of early-day pro-science attitudes.
Let us not forget that Houdini's wife, Bess, who was profiled in Skepticality's episode on the Houdini Museum – that also featured magician Dorothy Dietrich. I would also recommend the book The Occult Tradition: From The Renaissance to the Present Day by David S. Katz.
Funnily enough – the first article I uncover comes from Professor DeeAnne Wymer who wrote 'Why Are There So Few Female Skeptics?' back in 1996 – her unpacking of the 'excuses' as to why not include "family and work demands leave women with little time for any outside activities; Sexism among male members creates an unpleasant atmosphere for women; Groups seldom focus on topics of interest to women; Skeptics are generally recruited from the sciences, fields with fewer women." But isn't this typical of women in the sciences too, women's participation in many groups? Of course, sexism cannot be tolerated in any social gathering – but must skeptical investigations and gatherings be 'focused on topics of interest to women' when we can see how skeptical issues focus on a great many ideas that do benefit both genders? Sure, we all have different areas of 'passion', but must we limit on the basis of 'she's female, therefore deserving'? Why not encourage more of a range instead? Why assume all skeptical women are the same? I'm particularly interested in deists who are keen to challenge pseudoscientific and paranormal practices for example, who in my opinion are marginalized with the assumption that 'skeptic = atheist.'
In fact, there's a lot of contradiction regarding 'comfort amongst male skeptics' being expressed in a section entitled 'Where The Girls Aren't' in an article by Jeanine DeNoma on 'Local Skeptical Groups' which quotes another article by Sheila Gibson written in 1999:
Gibson raises the point that "maybe skeptical women are just different." She quotes one woman who said, "Women who participate don't necessarily have a science background and they don't fit female stereotypes. They seem comfortable in groups of men. Being the only woman doesn't bother them."
Just being a skeptic, male or female, probably means one is at least somewhat comfortable being out-of-step with the mainstream. One reward for affiliation with an organized skeptics group is the interaction that occurs among seriously-mindful and thought-challenging skeptics. {my emphasis}
Why, I ask myself, must women in skepticism be particularly 'mobilised' or what have you? Are there particular needs that women skeptics have that aren't going to be bolstered by already-existing Science for Women initiatives – or are they pointedly shut out right now from the embrace of social communities of skeptics, humanists, what have you? Or is this just a situation that faces women in general in society anyway? I again question if this is more 'attention getting for attention-getting's sake' and runs the risk of having every skeptical woman being labelled as the 'partygirls / groupies of skepticism' due to the actions of a few. And it is happening, I know.
Certainly, I know – research does suggest that women are more superstitious than men (Gallup & Newport, 1991) and that females hold a greater range of paranormal beliefs than males (Wolfradt, 1997; Rice, 2003; IPSOS Mori, 2007), although men express greater belief in UFOs and extraterrestrials (Rice, 2003). According to Blackmore (1997) a possible reason for this is that males are encouraged to engage in science, while females are more encouraged towards social and religious issues which emphasise fantasy life. Studied have demonstrated that there has been a documented increase in belief in various items like Extra-Terrestrials, ghosts, hauntings, communication with the dead and astrology (National Science Foundation, 2002).
Should we perhaps accept that 'less women is the status quo anyway' and get to supporting science in general for the good of all then? It's something I touch upon in my Skeptical Books for Children posts, how encouraging science literacy should be our main effort.
A similar situation exists with regard to the adoption of secular world views with associated New Age beliefs (Hergovich & Arendasy, 2005). This has also been noted in the shift in younger generation Australians towards New Age practices and associated paranormal beliefs (Mason, Webber, Singleton, & Hughes, 2006). Age related differences in beliefs are also evident with adults under the age of 30 reported as being more superstitious than older age groups (Gallup & Newport, 1991) and that increasing age may lead to greater belief in the supernatural (Shermer, 1997; Aarnio & Lindeman, 2006).
Generally, the various polls and research studies appear to illustrate a growing trend not only towards traditional superstitious beliefs but to new ones that should be considered. Technological advances such as genetically modified foods, computer games, SMS phone games, a far broader range of exposure to esoteric beliefs through the Internet and films, and television shows are seen as contributing factors to such new beliefs in the mystical and paranormal (Preece & Baxter, 2000; Clark, 2002; Mowen & Carlson, 2003).
Paranormal beliefs can be influenced by cultural factors such as family, peer groups, media influences, and the persuasive power of social institutions (e.g., religious or cultural groups) and education (Schriever, 2000; Clark, 2002; Díaz-Vilela & Álvarez-González, 2004).
Socialisation has been used to explain gender differences concerning the extent of paranormal beliefs – I've already mentioned the power of peer influence and friendships in a recent study on what leads girls to continue on in the sciences whilst at school. Clark (2005) for example, noted the prevalence of popular culture and new age beliefs in teenage females, while Mason, Webber, Singleton and Hughes (2006) recorded a shift towards secular views of the world which incorporated many new age beliefs and practices.
Clark (2002) employed research from a multiyear ethnographic study to examine the narratives of teenage girls with various backgrounds and levels of interest in religion in the USA. This study was particularly interested in how narratives from popular culture mediums (television shows, films) are either rejected or incorporated into what young people claim are their religious beliefs (Clark, 2002). Although the study did not use a paranormal belief scale, questions were preceded with "do you think X is possible" in addition to "do you believe in X"? to better determine if there was an emergent sense of uncertainty about the supernatural (Clark, 2002). The findings demonstrated that entertainment media (such as popular culture portrayals of the supernatural) and religion are part of a broader framework which influences young people's beliefs; those who are not fully entrenched in religious, political or sceptical scientific inquiry may find themselves more likely to find 'the possible' or appeal of supernatural or paranormal realms, particularly as a challenge to the government or religion they feel alienated from (Clark, 2002).
In conclusion, I'd say a more broader approach to supporting women in science-related fields, recognising that there are already groups and initiatives out there that are needing our support and acknowledging that there are hundreds of women who have been for some time, are and will continue to challenge claims of the pseuedoscientific and the paranormal.
I will personally continue to seek to know more, because I think we all agree that to skimp on the research just does both genders a disfavour. It certainly isn't scientific.

The 14-nation World Cup starts just two weeks after the Grand Final takes place at Old Trafford on Saturday, October 5, by which time McNamara says every player will have had the opportunity to stake their claim for selection.
Speaking at the official launch of the 2013 Super League season at Manchester's Etihad Stadium, McNamara said: "The next 10 months are going to be fantastic as we embark on what I believe is the biggest Super League season in living memory."
He added: "Every English player who has ambitions of playing in the Rugby League World Cup now has the chance to prove himself in what will be the most intense Super League competition we have seen.
"It is a new campaign where every game will matter. Established players that have been part of the England group since it was created three years ago will want to continue to set the standards and the young talent coming through can also push to be in the squad that will bid to make history this autumn.
"It's an open selection policy: we are committed to selecting the best players and I hope to see every player produce his best throughout every round of Super League and all the way to the 2013 Grand Final."
Wigan and England full-back Sam Tomkins admits the World Cup will provide extra motivation for players on the fringes of selection.
"It's an incentive for players to play well," he said. "For those on the edge of the international game, it's time for them to step up.
"There is no better time than a World Cup in your own country. It's a massive incentive. If you miss this one, you've got to wait four years for another one in another country."

The midfielder has made six appearances for the Saints this season and scored in the Capital One Cup victory over Stevenage in August.
His last appearance came as a late substitute in the 1-1 draw with Norwich in November.
Shrimpers boss Paul Sturrock told the club's official website: "We're delighted to have signed Ben. He's someone we identified as a player we feel can help us push for promotion.
"He has played in the Premier League this season so it just shows how highly the young lad is rated. He will offer us something different.
"He's here initially for 28 days and we will see how things progress during that time."

LAST JANUARY, someone stole the glasses off the 7-foot statue of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno that stands outside Beaver Stadium.
Perhaps Joe liked the look. He recently had vision surgery and no longer needs his trademark thick-lens specs.
But that doesn't necessarily mean he won't still wear glasses.
A school spokesman confirmed yesterday that the 83-year-old Hall of Famer had the surgery last month. The procedure was performed by his friend, Dr. Stuart Fine, an ophthalmologist based in Philly.
"I had trouble reading for the last 6 months, so I went down to Philadelphia to the Penn Scheie Eye Institute," Paterno told FightOnState.com. "And the guy says to me . . . 'I think we can fix that up.' So they went in and did it. I don't really need glasses anymore."

Since 1990 the age of the average OECD median voter has increased three times faster than in the preceding 30 years. We use panel data from 1980–2002 to investigate the effects of population aging on both the program size and the benefit generosity of public pensions in 18 OECD countries. Population aging is accompanied by cutting smaller slices out of larger cakes: it increases aggregate spending on pensions but freezes or decreases the generosity of individual benefits. Controlling for political, institutional and time-period effects, we find that public pension efforts are significantly mediated by welfare regime type. Moreover, since the late 1980s pension effort has more fully adopted a retrenchment logic. It is the politics of fiscal and electoral straitjackets, not gerontocracy, which shape public pension spending today. While population aging is accelerating, contrary to alarmist political economy predictions democracies are not yet dominated by a new distributive politics of elderly power.

2011 Game Revolution Staff Picks
Posted on Friday, December 23 @ 04:19:31 PST by Nicholas Tan
2011 Game Revolution Staff Picks
Oh, we know how mad you are. Or perhaps it's disgust or flabbergastery. How could X win and not Y. X is so stupid, Y is so much better. I hate GR. I'm never coming back again. These kinds of things happen during every award show. It even happens to us. We hate ourselves. It's a thing we do.
I mean, all of us at GR know that some games, despite our vocalizations, were snubbed—justifiably so, but begrudgingly as well. A part of it was because we decided not to give any game two awards this year just to spread the love, as this year's lineup deserves. So this is where we make amends... though of course there are some have still been overlooked in this article, like The Witcher 2 and Saints Row The Third. Look, if we gave every game an award, there wouldn't be any point to them anymore. Nor would there be if some people were pissed off.
That said, here are Game Revolution's Staff Picks. We stand by them (more or less).

Wednesday was a 'really good' holiday travel day
Updated at 2:30 p.m. Nov. 26 with new American numbers:
So far, holiday travel by air this week in Dallas-Fort Worth is panning out to be unexciting in — and that's a good thing for everyone.
Today is one of the busiest travel days of the year.
"We're having a really good day," American Airlines spokesman Ross Feinstein said today. "There's really good weather almost everywhere."
It was 69 degrees and overcast in Dallas around midday.
American had zero cancelled None of its 772 scheduled flights at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport by the end of the day, Feinstein said.
Overall at D/FW Airport, there was one flight cancellation and and 53 delays at D/FW Airport as of 6:15 p.m. today, according to FlightAware, a website that tracks global flights. Dallas Love Field had 11 delays and zero cancellations. Nationwide, there were 1,080 U.S. flight delays and 33 U.S. cancellations at all airports. All of those statistics are small by historical holiday standards.
Delays increased — particularly in Atlanta, Minneapolis, Chicago, Phoenix and Seattle — through the day as more people traveled. Check out a U.S. map of flight delays and a chart of global flight delays and cancellations on FlightAware's website.
"It is going smoothly — no major traffic or weather disruptions," Thais Hanson, a spokeswoman for Dallas-based Southwest Airlines said about its operations at Dallas Love Field and nationwide. "We are seeing very strong demand for the holiday travel period."
It has helped that rain forecast for the Dallas area resulted in just some morning sprinkles. And the weather is "really good" all the way from Boston to Florida, helping to control East Coast air congestion, Feinstein said.
American still advises travelers to arrive at the airport two hours before their scheduled departure time during the holiday season.

First, thank you shazahm for the plugin. I do web design, but I'm relatively new to WP. I'm running a Windows Server with MySQL 5.5 and PHP 5.4.7.
Plugin installation is fine. Went to add an entry and received "ERROR: Entry could not be added."
I deactivated/reactivated, no change. I enabled debugging, but I cannot see any other information to help narrow down the problem. I noticed a similar post suggesting the removal of STRICT_TRANS_TABLE, which I did, but with no resolve.
Can you direct me in possible trouble shooting?
Thank you.

Bio: The journey of Bliss Art began on a sunny Greek Island where 2 talented Slovenians, Mojca (a superb pianist) & Jana (a fantastic flute player) crossed paths with a singer (Aneesa) and her Rock (Nadine). So began a creative journey of musical exploration, improvisation, tasty biscuits & a beautifu...See Full Bio
"Their own songs really make the night. The vibrant It's Alright has the audience chanting back the lyrics. The Heart of Sappho's Bosom and Guappa Chica, (about a beautiful woman), is the perfect closer to the evening. Aneesa has an edgy elegance about her. She proves herself to be a charming, bubbly character, making an effort to entertain her circle of fans at every opportunity. Her moving rendition of Roberta Flak's The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, also covered by Celine Dion had, dare I say it, even more depth to it than Celine's version. The incredibly talented flutist, Jana, wrote the up-beat, You and the masterful pianist, Monti, wrote On the Edge. Monti's playing of the church's beautiful grand piano was flawless throughout the night. See our recent BLOG for the full review"

Collage landscape
I found a rusted piece of metal on the street - it's the "dog" thing on the left side of the landscape. What could it have been? A mechanical part for some gear works? Something decorative (unlikely, since there are no holes for threading anything through or any glue remnants)? No matter, now it's a fun part of my found paper/found object collage.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I did not see the terms of agreement (they report it's on a website) nor did they send me a copy of the terms in the mail.
I asked the representative if this was a term contract and he said no. I asked if there was any other paperwork I needed to look over and he said no.
So not only did they send me a TOP OF THE LINE Credit card Machine (dinosaur aged) they continually made it difficult to cancel my services with them. It took several months, talking to different people, several emails, phone calls, & yelling and screaming to get them to cancel my contract & quit withdrawing money from my account.
Once I was finally able to cancel I was outraged to find out that $2,400 had been withdrawn from my banking account. I was NOT notified of this charge and spent an entire day trying to figure out WHO had withdrawn that money. It was Woodforest National bank.
I have explained my situation to both companies, including the Better Business Bureau and nothing seems to be happening. Instead I am receiving SEVERAL phone calls from different collections agencies trying to collect on the same debt. A debt that I DO NOT OWE.
I have asked each party involved to go back and look at the actual documents I had signed and in that agreement NO WHERE does it say that I am being HELD to a 3 year contract and that I would be charge an "X" amount for canceling with them. I did not get notified of a WEBSITE that had terms and conditions, nor do they have my SIGNATURE on a terms and conditions.
DO NOT BANK WITH WOODFOREST BANK OR MERCHANT SERVICES USA OR EVEN MERCHANT'S CHOICE. It's a fraudulant bank & credit card company and they will trick you (the consumer) in every possible way. Not to mention, they will report BAD CREDIT on your behalf to the credit bureau for a DEBT YOU DO NOT OWE.

Monday, 26 March 2007
Hugh Fitzgerald has written many times about the westernized Shi'ites who had a very pollyannish view of Iraq and imbued the American Administration with the same. So much so that the Americans were planning a big trade show in Baghdad immediately after the fall of Saddam because they believed in an Iraqi middle-class of the kind Kanan Makiya represents. Makiya continues along the same garden path, dreaming of "green spaces" in a re-vamped Baghdad and blaming the deep sectarian fissures between Sunni and Shi'a on American mistakes in this profile article in the IHT:
I don't know that the Americans deliberately went for occupation. It seems to me the security situation got out of hand very unexpectedly and quickly because we were expecting a nation of Kanan Makiyas and instead found ourselves with a nation full of Moqtada al-Sadrs instead.

Mayhem # 2380478
About MeHello mm'rs!! It's been so long but im back! Finally graduated from high school and now I have way too much time on my hands! Since I've been back I've done many shoots but now I can do so much more. I work at the airport in fabulous Las Vegas and I plan on staying in this career path for a long time :)
So now let's get to business! If you want me in a shoot and you are serious message me with as much detail about the shoot, I'm in for almost anything. I'm good with any styles and with what ever environment you put me in. However, I do have a tattoo and it is located on my arm it goes from the inside of my wrist to the inside of the middle arm. It says "like father like daughter" in German so if the shoot doesn't involve tattoos don't bother unless I'm wearing a Long sleeve shirt. I don't plan on anymore anytime soon but I do love tattoos.
Standing tall at 5'11 I do stick out of the crowd, more legs than torso I get called high waters. I'm a natural blonde and I plan on staying that way for a while. If you put me in red my blue eyes pop out of my head O¥O, lol.
I honestly do not like working for free but if I feel the need to I will, go a head and follow me on my model instagram page where I have more photos: elliegleich

Hi Guys,
I'm new here and I've installed WordPress on my domain with a default blue and green theme (very nice) but... somehow, I have RSS, Search, News, Blogroll on the left side and I don't know how to remove them.
Of course, I'd like to get a Contact form and a photo and movies gallery.
Do you know how to do that ? ^_^
I know, it's a lot of things but "searching" in the Forum, I can't find anything...
Thanks guys !

Lol! If that set on Ebay happened to also include the Barracuda, and the Pirate Fortress... I am terribly sorry >.<. When I had bought mine about 3-4 years ago, I had waited until there was like 3 minutes left until I put down my final bid... rest assured, the ships are still together and sailing to this day.

The Fellowship of the Ring
by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Fellowship of the Ring Fear Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Book.Chapter.Paragraph) / (Prologue.Section.Paragraph)
Quote #10
"Hey there, Aragorn!" shouted Boromir, as his boat bumped into the leader. "This is madness! We cannot dare the Rapids by night! But no boat can live in Sarn Gebir, be it night or day."
"Back, back!" cried Aragorn. "Turn! Turn, if you can!" He drove his paddle into the water, trying to hold the boat and turn it round.
"I am out of my reckoning," he said to Frodo. "I did not know that we had come so far: Anduin flows faster than I thought. Sarn Gebir must be close at hand already." (2.9.42-4)
We have said elsewhere in this learning guide that Gandalf's fall into darkness in Moria is a necessary plot device to remove some of Frodo's support. With Gandalf around, everything is too easy for the Company: they can rely on his wisdom to lead them (mostly) correctly. But it's not just important for Frodo to learn independence. Aragorn's sudden promotion to leader of the Company is an important step for his own character development, as well. Before joining this Company, we get the sense that Aragorn's battles have been largely solitary. He leads the Rangers, certainly, but they are a lonely bunch and do not seem to work together in groups all that much. Still, someday, Aragorn has to become king of Gondor. He has to learn to take command. When Gandalf first dies, Aragorn appears fearful of his own decisions: even in Lothlórien, he cannot decide where the Company should go next or what its goals should be. Here, when he almost leads the Company straight into death in Sarn Gebir, he admits to Frodo that he is making mistakes. The Fellowship of the Ring is still early in his character arc, but over the course of the Lord of the Rings series, he must grow into his role as a leader.

Hollywood Privately Acknowledges Six Strikes Program Isn't Doing Much, Guaranteeing It Will Get Much Worse
from the bigger-and-better-is-bad dept
While the program might seem effective in scaring little Billy straight once his parents notice their connection doesn't work, it clearly hasn't had much of a meaningful impact on piracy rates. Unsurprisingly, the entertainment industry argues this is because the measures don't go far enough; nobody tracks offenders between ISPs, absolutely nothing happens to a user that violates all six strikes (the program simply stops and no more notifications are sent) and most users can simply hide their behavior behind the use of BitTorrent proxy services.
That hasn't stopped CCI from frequently trumpeting six strikes as a smashing success, often using unreliable, contradictory evidence (when it can be bothered to show evidence at all) to support their argument that forcing ISPs into the role of content nannies is a great idea. Privately however, newly leaked MPAA documents suggest the entertainment industry isn't so sure six strikes is doing much of anything.
The leaked documents show the program isn't having quite the impact the MPAA would like, though again, unsurprisingly, the MPAA believes that's only because the program isn't big enough yet. While there's the occasional attempt to suggest that offenders change their ways after receiving notices, the document then proceeds to note the MPAA actually has no idea if people change their behavior, since it's possible they switched ISPs or are hiding their behavior via BitTorrent proxy services:
"The U.S. system is "not yet at scale" or operating with "enough education support" according to the MPAA. As a result the CAS has not made an "impact on the overall [piracy] landscape..."No current information as to the behavior of users who appear to stop P2P infringement – do not know whether [they are] migrating to other pirate systems or to lawful services," the statement reads."The MPAA's solution to this problem? Make Six Strikes bigger, bolder and thereby worse:
"Attainability as to existing programs boils down to whether ISPs will agree (a) to expand scale to levels that might impact overall P2P piracy, and (b) to enhance remedial measures so as to improve efficacy," the MPAA writes."I've spoken to execs at two large ISPs who have admitted privately they know most pirates have simply started using proxy services, but the ISPs are playing along begrudgingly. Already a bit put off by the added paperwork, few are going to be keen on an a voluntary expansion of the program. As such, look for the entertainment industry to lobby heavily to have this year's rewrite of the Communications Act include numerous new treasures aimed at ISP compliance of a plan expansion. Perhaps after that we can proceed to banning the use of VPNs and proxies entirely for the good of the nation?

Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH)
History of Inclusion
Sex is a fundamental biological variable in biomedical research that must be considered from the very start. Rigorous science that produces key findings on the influence of sex in preclinical research can guide clinical studies and, ultimately inform clinical practice for women and men.
NIH has a rich history of inclusion. Factors such as sex/gender, race/ethnicity, age, and access to care all affect health. Including women and diverse populations in research (referred to as inclusion) is not just a matter of enrolling women and diverse populations in clinical studies but requires changing norms of how research is designed, long before a volunteer signs up for a study. Learn more about the history of inclusion at NIH.
- Background: A historical overview of the inclusion of women in clinical research at NIH
- Comprehensive Reports: Full reports on NIH's accomplishments and continuous efforts in monitoring the inclusion of women and minorities as participants in clinical research. The reports, beginning with the 1997 report, include narrative information, aggregate extramural and intramural data tables, as well as additional policy information.
- Policy Documents and Reference Materials: This listing provides current policy documents and references related to the inclusion of women in clinical research.
- Outreach Documents: Information on the inclusion, recruitment, and retention of women, men, and minorities as participants in clinical research. The documents help investigators to understand and comply with NIH's inclusion policies when planning clinical research studies and submitting an application for NIH funding.

when trying to authenticating I keep getting "You cannot access this page directly". This seems to be a wordpress issue with hybridauth, as running hybridauth example files at the root of my wp install seems to work fine, but "inside" wordpress doesn't seem to work.
Some have suggested this is a session issue and i believe this is related as it is failing in endpoint.php and the authInit() method because there is no config key in my session.
But i know that sessions are working correctly and it is writing some information to the session namely the 'php_session_id' and 'version' keys but not the 'config'. There is something else in wordpress that is causing that key not to be set correctly.
anyone have thoughts or can help??

What does respect mean to you?
I've been thinking about how "respect" for people with disabilities is often framed in negative and condescending terms. We're only worthy of respect insofar as we play the inspirational martyr. We can be respected for struggling through what are supposedly inevitably hopeless, helpless lives. But we can't be respected for fighting back against the systemic barriers keeping us down, or questioning our care. We certainly can't be respected for questioning the idea that we are one-dimensional inspirations there for the abled public's benefit.
I am not invested in polishing the halo the world likes to thrust upon me. I want to be respected as a full human being. So, what does respect for people with disabilities really mean? I have a few suggestions to start us off, but I'm sure you can think of more.
There are some really simple and important things that are continually taken for granted, like informed consent for medical procedures. All too often, medical practitioners simply don't think it necessary to explain procedures to people with disabilities. This can be absolutely terrifying and harmful to one's health, but is always plain old unethical.
Something that sets my blood boiling is when carers, parents, medical practitioners or interpreters are addressed instead of people with disabilities ourselves. I mean, we're right here, and we're not that scary to talk to. If an abled person has something to say, they can say it to us.
Another pretty basic mark of respect is recognising disabled identities. No, it's not a bit of trouble we can get over if we put our minds to, and being disabled is nothing to be ashamed of. And we are definitely not faking. Respect for people with disabilities involves recognising our proud, vibrant community. It does not involve treating disabled identity like a moral failure, something merely submitted to.
It is this sort of thing that marks the divide between true respect and a pat on the head. It's not that hard to tell the difference.

BRUNSWICK, Maine - Bowdoin sophomore Jacob Ellis (Brattleboro, Vt.) has been named Division III Men's Athlete of the Week by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
Ellis captured his second consecutive Open New England 800 meter championship on Saturday at Westfield State, posting a time of 1:49.66 to break the school's outdoor record and establish the top time in Division III so far this year.
Ellis, who also won the Open New England Championship in the 800 meters indoors on February 28, becomes the first Bowdoin athlete to win consecutive All-New England titles since 1936, when Phil Good when the 110 high hurdles and 220 low hurdles at indoor and outdoor New England's every year from 1934-36.
On Saturday, Ellis went through the 400 in 53.8 in sixth place. He moved into the lead on the final curve and opened up a five-meter lead on the second place runner during the final 100 meter sprint to the finish. Ellis' second lap was 55.8 as he crossed the finish line in 1:49.66. The time breaks the school mark of 1:50.68 set by Chris Downe '00 in 2000.
Ellis is a two-time All-American. He placed 5th in the indoor NCAA Division III 800 this past winter in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was 4th in the NCAA division III 800 at the outdoor championship in LaCrosse, Wisconsin in 2013.
"The 800 is a tough race because all four curves are crowded with fast runners, and any one of them could get the best position," said head coach Peter Slovenski. "The race doesn't really stretch out until the final 100 meters. Jacob keeps his composure, and has great intuition for when to make moves."
Ellis is the second Polar Bear to win national athlete of the week this year. Coby Horowitz earned the honor in February following a record-breaking time in the mile.

NYC Votes
Transforming the Way New Yorkers Interact with Political Candidates
The NYC Votes project sought to lower the barriers to meaningful participation by making the political process as accessible and convenient as any eCommerce application.
Pivotal Labs, along with Method and AppOrchard, helped the New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB) and its Voter Assistance Committee (VAAC) create a mobile website that streamlines the political process for voters and candidates alike.
Through its public matching funds program, the CFB seeks to counteract the role of big money in the political process by encouraging candidates for City office to raise small contributions from everyday New Yorkers. VAAC's mission is to increase civic engagement in all local elections, by encouraging more New Yorkers to register and vote.
The first release of the app, the Candidate Contribution Tool, empowered candidates and campaign staffers to collect and process credit card contributions on their mobile phones. Instead of handling checks and manually entering data into the CFB's reporting software, candidates can use the app to export the necessary data and upload it directly into the CFB's system, simplifying compliance with legal requirements. Dozens of candidates are now using the tool.
In its second release, the Voter Tool provided voters the ability to see who's on the ballot in their district, view the candidates' official Voter Guide profiles and leverage social networks to let them interact with candidates. It also allows voters to make contributions to the candidates of their choice and directs them to their polling place on Election Day.
A critical requirement of NYC Votes was enabling credit card contributions; we used Stripe Connect, a third-party payment processing product. Stripe collaborated with us to make the changes we requested, improve the testing process and ensure the security of the transaction.
We went with mobile web instead of a native app for two reasons: time to market and broad application. The tool had to be as democratic as possible, without giving one platform the advantage over another.
Because mobile web development is greatly complicated by variations in screen size and a slew of other design considerations, we created a live style guide, used open source software we built ourselves and rigorous front-end Javascript testing to meet the technical challenges. Our successful execution on mobile web meant that we were able to provide a fully responsive implementation that feels like a native application and adapts extremely well across many mobile devices. That approach was essential to reaching the widest possible audience.
The needs of NYC Votes made it especially well suited to our development practices. Our agile process let us adapt pre-designed work and move forward with the format brought to us by the CFB. We were able to build a nonpartisan app that interfaces with municipal government legacy systems that were never intended for that purpose, demonstrating how well our approach to legacy systems in the private sector can translate to the public sphere.

Maidana: Maybe I am Dirty, But so is Mayweather!
By Rick Reeno
Former champion Marcos Maidana (35-4, 31KOs) admits that he can be a little rough in the ring.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. (46-0, 26KOs) and members of his team have complained about Maidana's "rough" tactics during their May fight, which Mayweather won with a twelve round majority decision. A rematch is scheduled for September 13th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
"Marcos Maidana came out and gave a tough effort, I mean he fought his heart out but it wasn't clean," Mayweather said.
"Was I ever hurt? Sure, the shots to the back of the head hurt. Whenever you're in a heated battle you are going to be sore. It comes with the territory. Is Maidana a better fighter than Canelo? No. Cotto? No. He's just a dirtier fighter. I didn't get a deep gash from a punch; I got it from a head butt."
No dispute from Maidana on the issue. However, he's not letting Mayweather off the hook that easy.
"Maybe he's right. Maybe I am dirty. It might be a tactic [to tell everyone that I'm dirty] for the [potential] referee [to get influenced during our rematch]. But if I'm dirty then he's also dirty," Maidana said.
During the fight, Maidana says he retaliated several times to Mayweather's use of the elbow. He says Mayweather uses his elbows to create space when a fighter pins him against the ropes or tries to keep him on the inside.
"You know what, when he fights he uses the elbows. He does that with a lot of opponents. But they don't reciprocate it. I did it. In this fight I did it and gave it back to him," Maidana said. "It's a defensive tactic. He puts the elbow in the throat, [but] it's not fair."
[QUOTE=oneon11;14876699]Maybe he's a dirty fighter. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA Chino really makes me laugh. The guy fights only one way and that's dirty. He amped up his dirty tactics against Floyd because his sorry ass trainer had no game plan after Alex's undetectable…Comment by oneon11 on 08-21-2014

The goal being to make sure no dissenting opinions are published or consumed. One such country is China.

Thanks Ray, but the HFpanels do not come with wires that large, I was just wanting to put a uv resistant cable on the panels, but according the chart the wires would be huge compared to what came on them originally.
I used 16ga landscape wire from Home Depot on my ICP 15w panels. Its UV rated.
Thanks Hoopty_yo
10ga outdoor wire run 110ft from my array to my cabin. There seems not to be a loss. See my pics.
Take into consideration that the kit is less then 3 amps and how long is the wiring in your kit? You are talking 50 feet here. That changes everything.
Trust the chart.
Craig, I'm a bit confused and I think it is because you mentioned the distance of your run in with the rest of the question. Think we have two kinda unrelated things going on here. Most of us use the existing leads all going into a combiner box - then the appropriate, (or heavier in my case), gauge of wire pair for the run from the combiner box to the controller based on the same chart Ray put up. Unless there is some other over-riding reason to replace them, I would use the existing HF panel wires going to the combiner box then cover them with a UV resistant spiral wire wrap if they are left out in direct sunshine/weather.
LDsecure is talking about his run from the combined wires to his controller. There will be a measurable power loss when running direct current over a wire of *any* gauge for an appreciable distance - what is at question is what is an "acceptable" power loss for the intended purpose. If I remember correctly, that chart Ray uses is based upon an acceptable loss assumption of 3%, (I may be wrong there). I am somewhat of a miser and would use the next gauge larger, figuring to get better overall performance in power generation in the long run, (not to mention allowing a bit of slop if I decide to break the piggy bank and add another kit or 3 - which is "more than likely" going to happen). We also have the option of rewiring the panels for 24v or higher to reduce current and save on having to break the bank again to replace wire. Of course your controller has to be able to handle the greater input voltage.
Sheesh - I hope all of that made some kind of sense Craig. A bit tired tonight after Easter preps for the grandkids.
Couldn't agree more, figure out what you really need and "super size" from there.
Thanks guys, I understand what everyone has said , but it seems like the hf panel wires are cheap flimsy and not uv rated, I really just wanted to replace them with a uv rated cable probably 10 ga. solar cable from a solar store in town, What I need to do is put my combiner junction box closer and then go from there to the controler.
I am going to use the chart numbers Ray, I appreciate the info , Oh and Dave I always confuse people I speak the language of dyslexia lol .My wife goes nuts . So If I do not change wires I will do the uv rated spiral wire wrap.
thanks again very much appreciate the input.
Hello Craig,
Dave and Ray are on the mark for the wiring. As you noted the wire is cheap and flimsy, but for the distance amount of power being produced by each panel they are perfect for their purpose. I don't believe you will gain anything by changing the wire to the panels. But I do just as everyone else has done. I combine them all at the panels and then run heavy gauge welding cable from the combiner box to the charge controllers. Because of the amperage of my system I also needed to move mine to 36v to minimize the loss.
I would invest my time and money from the combiner box to the charge controllers. This will give you the best results.
I have a 150 foot run from my panels to camp and when the sun is out I have been getting 8 or more amps . I used a 10 stranded to make my run to camp . Planning on going to 24V to get more out of what I have .
