Destination Sinks Canyon Wyoming
On the day of the Summer Solstice, it was windy, dry and cool at Sinks Canyon, just outside Lander, Wyoming. A small band of climbers were enjoying perfect conditions at the area's choicest wall, the Killer Cave. Suddenly, the blunt sickening noise of a body impacting the earth reverberated through the amphitheater. A girl had just fallen 50 to the ground.
Dan Robertson, a schoolteacher from Colorado on summer vacation, untied his knot and ran down the grassy ridge to where the fallen climber had rolled and come to rest. He found her sitting up, slumped over, and despite a complaint about some hip pain, she appeared, surprisingly, to be OK. Firefighters soon arrived, and helped her out of the canyon.
After the incident, Robertson panted back up the hill, tied in and, with no expectations, redpointed Busload of Faith (5.14a), a route he had previously hung all over. Then his wife, Wendy Williams, sent her project, Nirvana (5.13a), in good style. After a few other climbers there fired their rigs, too, all began wondering if they weren't experiencing the Low Gravity Day of climbing lore.
After all, what else could explain such rampant redpointing, not to mention a climber coming away from a 50-foot digger more or less intact?
If any cliff in the U.S. could have such a thing as low-gravity days, Sinks Canyon would be it. This jewel situated at 7,400 feet in the crown of the Rocky Mountains has a whopping 320 climbable days per year. In the summer, Sinks gets afternoon shade. In the winter, the lower arc of the sun keeps the Big Horn dolomite toasty all morning and well into the early p.m., while the cliff's architecture protects much of the climbing from the harsh Wyoming wind. Better still, this comprehensive cliff band is just 12 minutes' drive from downtown Lander. If the weather turns, you're never very far from a nice cold (or hot) drink.
Perhaps this sheer number of good climbing days is what inspired some devious local to start the rumor that each spring a rattlesnake migration overruns the canyon and essentially closes it down. It is said that there are so many rattlesnakes you can't walk without stepping on one. Best to stay away. While Sinks has its fair share of slithering serpents, there is no Biblical influx, yet this classic story lives on. Ask any local, he'll swear it's true.
The local community is as strong, passionate and tight-knit as the Italian mafia, and includes climbers from as far away as Cody, Jackson Hole and Colorado. Lander is a small town of students, NOLS teachers and general outdoor enthusiasts, with many young couples settling into their first mortgages and raising families in between climbing trips and alpine expeditions.
Others have been here for decades. Tom Hargis, 62, a part owner of Exum Mountain Guides and an AMGA examiner, now finds himself at Sinks about four days a week. Hargis will hit the crag for only a few hours but has the place so dialed he can pump out a handful of 5.12s before racing down canyon to pick up his kids from soccer. Last winter he pulled his right hamstring doing a heel hook, but was still hiking up to the crag with a huge pack and stick clip, ready to crank.
In recent years, a new generation has added enduro extensions to routes in the Killer Cave, and unearthed V-double-digit sequences on blank-looking stone. In the last five years, about 40 new routes (mostly moderate) have gone up, with most of the work done by Steve Bechtel, BJ Tilden and Vance White (aka Victor Blanco, aka The White Knight).
The White Knight -- a fit, striking specimen with pasty-white skin -- thrusts himself to center stage, doing things like climbing Killer (5.12c) in a giant black Afro wig. Tilden, on the other hand, a soft-spoken carpenter, has an unassuming demeanor, but within his skinny frame are some of the strongest tendons in climbing. In fact, there are only two ways you'd ever know what a bone-crusher Tilden is: either watch him climb, or flip through his copy of Lander Sport Climbs by Steve Bechtel, in which he has checked almost every single route listed, in addition to the recent FAs he has had to write in himself. In the last two years, Tilden has ticked Wyoming's two hardest climbs, repeating Jason Campbell's Genetic Drifter (5.14c) at nearby Wild Iris and doing the first ascent of Orange For Anguish (5.14c) at Baldwin Creek, also near Lander.
Driving into the canyon, you pass bands of red and black sandstone with a few vertical cracks -- home to the area's earliest rock climbs. As you gain elevation, you get to the goods -- the Big Horn dolomite limestone -- while higher yet, another strata appears, of granite.
The Lycra age of the late 1980s brought the first rap-bolted lines, by Greg Collins, Frank Dusl and Paul Piana, who established routes in the area over the next 15 years. They will tell you there was never a dull moment. When the preternaturally strong Dusl went for a flash of the power-endurance testpiece Mr. Majestic (5.13b), Collins, in a good-natured way, fed him a load of bad beta to see if he could slow him down. To Collins' awe, Dusl still pulled off the ascent.
Todd Skinner and Steve Bechtel came in the mid 1990s and unearthed a few more gems to add to the area's growing cache. Bechtel dedicated his guidebook to his late friend.
As Bechtel recalls, Skinner showed him how to be humble in an ego-driven sport and how one can always try and push himself harder. Skinner, who died in 2006 when his belay loop failed on Yosemite's Leaning Tower, was an icon in the climbing world, but was especially revered by Lander climbers. Tilden remembers that, after his death, It seemed like every single climber in Lander went out the next day and bought a new harness.
In the 1990s, as word about the awesome climbing in Sinks spread, Greg Collins and his wife, Sue Miller, invited some leading climbers to come test their mettle on these new routes. Many of the era's standouts, like Tiffany Campbell, Kurt Smith and Doug Englekirk, went on flashing sprees, while Collins, Piana, Bechtel and Skinner kept putting up lines. Collins describes Sinks in the 1990s as a decade well spent.
Collins is hard to miss. He's 6'4", sports a hippie ponytail and has massive Hulk hands. This all-around unsung badass has established big walls in Yosemite, thin new alpine lines in Alaska, and now routes in the Tetons, outside of his home of Jackson Hole. His latest project is a 5.13b/c crack on Middle Teton with a seven-mile approach and 6,000 feet of elevation gain. Despite a lifetime of accomplishments, Collins has always shied away from the limelight. If there was ever anyone who simply climbs for himself without any fanfare, he is it.
Today there are about 400 sport and trad routes in the canyon, with 250 classics in the quarter-mile (25-minute walk) stretch that is the main limestone wall. Routes range from 5.6 to 5.14, 50 to 110 feet tall, all within close proximity. The walls of Sinks are renowned for a plethora of pockets, which range from sharp, painful monos to wrapper jugs.
The Killer Cave, with its consistent 110-degree angle and beautiful ivory and tangerine hues, is the cream of the crop. Friendly, well-bolted lines like Action Candy (5.9), Firecracker Kid (5.9), Global Warm-up (5.10c) and Second Hand Nova (5.11a) complement main attractions like Bush Doctor (5.12a), Killer (5.12c), Nirvana (5.13a), Samsara (5.13b) and Endeavor to Persevere (5.13c). Roof features, aretes and giant dihedrals extend down the cliff line for over two miles.Scattered around the sweeping hillside above and below are large juniper trees, sagebrush and limestone boulders.Sadly, last year an arsonist set fire to the bluff directly beneath the Killer Cave, where the climbers' trail is, destroying much of the hedge and undergrowth. Though the perpetrator was never caught or a motive determined, another fire set at one of the sandstone buttresses caused locals to speculate that the fires were directed at climbers.
The geological phenomena of Sinks Canyon extend beyond climbable rock. Sinks gets its name from the spot where the Popo Agie River abruptly vanishes into the cracks and fissures at the back of a large cavern, only to reemerge two hours later in a trout-filled pool called the Rise half a mile down canyon. Rumors abound of cars being driven into the Sinks, or people being tossed in. There is even a story about a cowboy who rode his horse into the hole, only to emerge at the downstream pool a few minutes later, still in the saddle. Cowboy towns have the best tall tales but at Sinks it's probably better just to credit the ones about climbing.

LEARY, TIM / METZNER, RALPH / ALPERT, RICHARD: The Psychedelic Experience
In 1966 the great maverick label Folkways released this as an LP - two readings from the book The Psychedelic Experience, based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead and written as a guide to LSD users - a going in section, to be played at the start of the trip and a coming back section to be played 2/3 the way into the trip (if you're still keeping track of the time). Like a manual on how to fly a broomstick or organise servants in a great house, this is a document of a lost world, once inhabited by people who believed and took it deadly seriously, and is now only for those who study or are interested in such things - unless you are taking the drug, when I guess this would be an optional and possibly useful guide. How quickly things that seem deep become the stuff of ridicule. One of the sources of 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. O tempora, o mor�s - or not.L

Chapter 1 Introduction
Perspectives: Why Guidelines Differ
Numerous international, national, and professional organizations publish guidelines and recommendations that assist travel health providers in giving the best possible advice to prospective travelers. The CDC Yellow Book is one example of published recommendations. However, it is quickly apparent to both clinicians and patients that guidelines and recommendations differ, sometimes dramatically. Conflicting messages from authoritative sources may confuse patients and clinicians and undermine the credibility of the source. It can be unsettling for patients to receive travel medicine advice, vaccines, and an antimalarial drug prescription from a provider, only to find that the recommendations conflict with what they have obtained from other sources or even heard from other advisors. The skillful travel health provider will be able to help the traveler run this gauntlet of conflicting advice by knowing more about why guidelines differ.
Most guidelines of interest to travel health providers and travelers focus on recommendations for immunizations, prophylactic medications, and self-treatment regimens (such as those for travelers' diarrhea). Guidelines come from many sources. A regulatory agency in each country must review and approve an application from the sponsor of a product in order for the product to be commercially distributed. Regulatory authorities review data from prelicensure clinical trials and also assess the manufacturing process. International organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) promote their own sets of guidelines. At national levels, agencies such as CDC make recommendations for the use of approved vaccines and medications for travelers. In addition, professional organizations may create consensus clinical practice guidelines based on published medical literature and expert opinion. Travel medicine–specific subscription services use experts to organize and present travel medicine recommendations for clinicians. However, these services can use information and sources that may not be fully validated by national and international authorities. Finally, vast quantities of unregulated opinions are published on the Internet. People new to travel medicine may not be aware of the decision-making process or the source information that results in formal recommendations from these organizations.
Regulatory Authorities
Countries typically have a national regulatory authority which acts as the government body that approves vaccines and drugs. In the United States, this is the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For the vaccines and medications commonly prescribed in a pre-travel consultation, providers are expected to use the products in accordance with the product label as approved by the FDA. The product label is a valuable source of information that is accurate at the time it is published. Manufacturers submit a detailed application that undergoes rigorous, multidisciplinary review. The approved product label reflects the information provided by the manufacturer in response to the requirements specified by a large body of regulatory law developed over many years. Since each country has different laws and requirements, approved products and their product labels may differ from country to country. This difference is then reflected in the national guidelines that relate to that product.
International Organizations
Travelers' health information is provided by WHO's publication, International Travel and Health (the "Green Book") and also in the WHO International Health Regulations 2005. Countries with less-developed or nonexistent regulatory agencies often default to the WHO guidelines, while more-developed countries with resources devoted to travelers' health may be aware of the WHO recommendations but may not be able to reconcile WHO recommendations with their own country's recommendations in every situation.
US National Organizations
CDC provides recommendations for travel health and publishes those recommendations in this book. Subject-matter experts at CDC review information in their area of expertise and formulate recommendations. For vaccines, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) develops written recommendations for the administration of vaccines, including travelers' vaccines, to children and adults in the civilian population. Recommendations include age for vaccine administration, number of doses and dosing interval, and precautions and contraindications. ACIP, which is the only entity appointed by the federal government to make such recommendations, consists of 15 experts in fields associated with immunization who have been selected to provide advice and guidance to the Department of Health and Human Services and CDC on the control of vaccine-preventable diseases (Box 2-01).
Professional Organizations
Professional organizations often develop, write, and publish practice guidelines using committees of experts from their membership. These practice guidelines typically follow an evidence-based medicine approach that links recommendations to the strength and quality of the evidence as assessed by the committee members. The Infectious Disease Society of America has published a travel medicine practice guideline that many find useful.
Peer-Reviewed Medical Literature and Open Sources
As experience with a vaccine or a drug is acquired over the years, these results are often published in the peer-reviewed medical literature. In addition, people who use these products gain experience over time and develop their own opinions ("experience-based medicine"). The data that would be most useful in deciding how to use a vaccine or medication may not be available in published reports, so expert opinion attempts to interpret available information or provide background perspective.
Guidelines in different countries and organizations may differ in substantial ways. Some of the reasons why guidelines differ include availability of products in different countries, a different cultural perception of risk, lack of evidence (or differing interpretations of the same evidence), and sometimes just honest differences in opinion among experts. Occasionally, public opinion may influence recommendations (for example, the widespread adverse publicity about mefloquine that was reported in the media).
Availability of Products
Travel health providers can only use the products that are available to them. Availability is determined by the regulatory approval status of the product and, to a lesser extent, the marketing and distribution plan of the manufacturer. Among the various vaccines and antimalarial drugs commercially available worldwide, the process for regulatory approvals varies greatly. For example, registering a new vaccine or antimalarial drug in the United States is a costly and rigorous process. If the market is insufficient to justify the expense of registration, then a commercial company may not seek registration in a particular country. The standards for licensure vary, and what may be sufficient for one regulatory authority may not suffice for another. For example, primaquine, an option for malaria chemoprophylaxis in the United States, is not registered or commercially available in Switzerland. Atovaquone-proguanil was available for malaria chemoprophylaxis in the United States before many other countries. On the other hand, an oral vaccine against cholera is approved for use and widely available in many countries, but is not approved by the FDA; therefore, CDC and ACIP guidelines do not include any recommendations for the use of this vaccine.
Even when the same products are available, the recommendations for their use may differ. The injectable capsular polysaccharide typhoid vaccine and the oral typhoid vaccine are examples. In the United States, a booster of the polysaccharide vaccine is recommended after 2 years, but in most European countries, a booster is recommended after 3 years. In the United States, a packet of 4 oral typhoid capsules is dispensed, whereas in Europe, 3 doses are considered adequate. The regulatory agencies may have reviewed the same data and drawn different conclusions, or they may have reviewed different data at separate times and reached different conclusions. Regulatory submissions to various agencies rarely are ready and occur at the same time; therefore, the data available for review by each agency may not be the same, for legitimate reasons.
Perception of Risk
People from varying backgrounds can view the same risk data and come to different conclusions as to the cost and benefit of preventing that risk. For example, national-level recommendations to prevent malaria while traveling to India vary widely. Germany does not recommend using standard prophylaxis for any travel to an Indian destination; standby emergency treatment (SBET or self-treatment) is the recommendation for identified risk destinations. The guidelines in the United Kingdom recommend only awareness and mosquito bite prevention as the default recommendation for more than half the Indian subcontinent, including large cities and popular tourist destinations in the north and south, while recommending an individual risk assessment that is based on activities and types of travel for consideration of chemoprophylaxis. For some defined higher-risk areas, the recommendation is for standard chemoprophylaxis for most, with the option to consider mosquito avoidance for low-risk travelers. However, CDC recommends malaria chemoprophylaxis for any Indian destination except for some mountainous areas of northern states above 2,000 m (6,561 ft) as the default recommendation for most travelers, with consideration of individual risk and benefit. Is one of these recommendations better than the others? Not necessarily, as the recommendations may be based on the national experience with different types of travelers and the risk assessment approach of the organization formulating the national guidelines. For example, in 2011, CDC reported 223 malaria cases acquired in India by returning US travelers, the highest known absolute number of cases from any destination. However, when viewed as estimated relative case rates (the number of cases among US travelers attributable to each country divided by the estimated travel volume for US travelers to that country), countries in sub-Saharan Africa remain well above the median estimated risk, and India falls below the median estimated risk because of the much higher volume of travel to India. India reports active transmission in all provinces in the country. Based on the extremely large population of India, some of these provinces have high absolute numbers of cases but low case rates. Some countries base their recommendations on these relatively low case rates, but other countries believe that the high absolute numbers of cases results in large numbers of infective mosquitoes that can, in turn, infect travelers. In any case, travelers to India are likely to encounter diverse recommendations for malaria prevention from different sources, the Internet, or other travelers.
The best available data should always balance the risk of the intervention— and the costs—against the risk of the disease so that the decision to recommend a vaccine or prophylactic medicine may be understood by the clinician and the traveler.
Lack of Evidence
In many cases, limited or no data are available to inform an evidence-based assessment. In this setting, travel health providers defer to expert opinion or an extrapolation from limited data in conjunction with expert opinion. In travel medicine, it is rare to have actual prospective numerator and denominator data on the risk of any vaccine-preventable diseases in travelers. For example, any data on the risk of hepatitis A in travelers would have to account for the immunization rate with hepatitis A vaccine. These data are rarely available, and therefore, we often rely on historical data that captured few actual cases.
The complex nature of how we obtain, evaluate, and verify data, combined with the fundamental differences in risk perception, makes it likely that multiple, overlapping, and at times conflicting guidelines will continue to exist. However, given the international nature of travel medicine and the existence of the International Society of Travel Medicine, conflicting guidelines have decreased in the past decade. In one example of an effort to harmonize guidelines, from 2008 through 2010, WHO convened an international group of yellow fever and travel medicine experts to review available data on yellow fever virus transmission. The product of this collaboration was a country-specific list of yellow fever vaccine recommendations based on the geographic distribution of risk (see Chapter 3, Yellow Fever & Malaria Information, by Country).
In summary, the role of the travel health provider is to become more sophisticated in his or her understanding of the various differences in guidelines, in interpreting this information, and in conveying it in an assured and comforting manner to travelers.

Hi Solomon,
I'm interested in your square/cube hive bodies.
(It's been a while since I've looked at your blog.)
1. Have you made half width boxes, so that they could also be used as 6 frame Nucs?
2. Have you run it as a two queen hive?
3. Have you tried the boxes at right angles and does it act as a queen excluder?
4. Are there disadvantages to this size box, other than the weight of a single box?

Starting Position: Stand with your feet together. Pull your shoulders blades down and back without arching your low back. Engage your abdominal/core muscles to stabilize your spine. Hold a light-to-moderate weight medicine ball in front of your chest, firmly holding the ball with both hands.
Step forward: Slowly lift the right foot off the floor, finding your balance on the standing leg. Keeping the abdominals engaged will help to avoid any sideway tilting or swaying in your upper body. Press the standing foot firmly into the ground to reduce any unwanted movement and maintain stability. Hold this position briefly before stepping forward. The right foot should land on the floor heel first. With the right (forward) leg placed firmly on the floor, shift your body weight forward. Focus on lowering yourself downwards toward the floor rather than forward. As you load your bodyweight into the right leg, avoid any sideways tilting or swaying in your upper body and try not to move the left (back) foot. As you lower yourself into your right leg and hip, push the medicine ball straight overhead. Keep the abdominals braced.
While still in the bottom (downward) phase of the lunge, pull the medicine ball back down to your chest. Continue to maintain a strong core and drive your right foot into the ground to push back, straightening the leg and returning to the start position. Repeat for a specific number of repetitions or a certain period of time.
Exercise Variation: Begin with a light-weight medicine ball in order to learn how to maintain stability through the entire movement. To increase the level of difficulty and to improve core and shoulder strength, once you can easily perform 8-12 repetitions on each leg, increase the weight of the medicine ball. Another option is to hold one dumbbell in each hand.

This is a randomized multicentre trial of FTC vs TDF/FTC in antiretroviral naive subjects with HIV/HBV co-infection over 48 weeks (Clinical Trial A).
Plus, a 12 week viral kinetic substudy comparing a subgroup of patients on Clinical Trial A is being conducted. (Substudy A1)
Primary Objectives:
- To compare the proportion of subjects with HBV DNA levels below the limit of detection (<400 copies/ml) by week 48 in each treatment group
Secondary Objectives:
- To evaluate the emergence of HBV resistance at 48 weeks
- To compare the proportion of patients with undetectable HBV DNA at weeks 12 and 24 in each treatment group
- To compare the proportion of patients who achieve HBeAg and HBsAg seroconversion at weeks 12, 24 and 48 during the study
- To compare changes in ALT from baseline and the rate of hepatic cytolysis (ALT>5x ULN)
- To compare suppression of HIV-1 RNA and changes in CD4/CD8 counts over 48 weeks
- To compare the effect of therapy on histological changes in the liver and the presence of ccc-DNA
- 24 patients in Clinical trial A (of whom 16 enter substudy A1).
Clinical Trial A:
- Patients with HIV/HBV co-infection who are naive to HIV/HBV therapy, have detectable HBV viraemia and are willing to start antiretroviral therapy.
Inclusion Criteria:

My favorite is Chelsea, I was so sad when her puppy got attacked by the big dog and she had to move.Chelsea needs to realize that Adam is the biggest loser in the world. If Aubrey were my daughter I would have just told her that he died or something he's a loser. Leah is okay but she needs to stick to Jeremy and leave Cory alone he is the dad to your kids but on every reunion shes like I love you Jeremy but if Cory would do therapy then I'd be with him, seriously? Kailyn was my favorite but it seemed to me that she was just going after Javi for the benefits, its sad, it could just be how the show made it seem but idk. Jenelle should be locked up and the key thrown away she is the WORST one on this show, I wish she wasnt even on it, how can they tape her and the deuche keifer doing drugs, him going to pick it up and no one get in trouble? Jace should NEVER know who she is. She is a waste.

Leica M9, M9-P and M-E Type 220 review – Ahead of the new Leica M we round up the DxOMark Scores of its predecessorsBy Paul Carroll - Wednesday March 06 2013 Sensor Review
Leica enthusiasts are getting excited as the revered German manufacturer looks set to ship their new M Type 240 digital rangefinder very soon. Featuring a brand new 24-megapixel CMOS sensor, the latest model in the M Series departs from the CCD sensor technology Leica have previously used. So as we await the new, let's look back at the Sensor Scores for the M9, M9-P and M-E Type 220 using that CCD Sensor, to get us in the mood.
Dating back to the launch of the M3 in 1954, the Leica M System has a distinguished history and reputation for quality engineering that makes it the discerning professionals' camera of choice. Diminutive dimensions, minimalist design, and a rangefinder style viewfinder that allows the photographer to take in their surroundings and capture the decisive moment, as a scene unfolds is perfect for discreet photojournalism and street photography.
Launched in 2006, the M8 was the first digital version featuring a 10Mp 27x18mm CCD. The first full frame M9 came along in September 2009 with a higher resolution 18Mp 24x36mm CCD and a $7000 price tag. The cheaper but similar $5450 M9-P followed in January 2011, with the most recent $5450 M-E Type 220, launched in September 2012.
Opting for simplicity over technological gimmicks, Leica's are stripped back to the basics with dials for Shutter Speed and Drive Mode, Apertures set via the lens, and limited controls on the rear, but of course compatibility with almost all Leica M Mount lenses. Side by side with the latest DSLRs however, the specs are nothing to shout about with a 160–2500 ISO range, 2fps burst shooting, 2.5 inch 230k dot LCD, no pop-up flash and manual focusing.
So does the Image Quality on the M9-P and M-E Type 220 fare any better? The DxOMark Sensor Scores will tell us.

Starting Position: Set up four cones in a T shape with 3 cones across the top of the T and one cone making the base of the T. Begin in a three-point stance at the base of the T with the hips and knees bent, right foot back, left foot forward. The right hand should be placed on the ground and the left arm reaching back behind you (the forward motion of the back arm driving forward helps with acceleration).
Drive the left arm forward and the right arm back while picking up the right leg and driving the left leg in to the ground. Generate rapid acceleration by pushing off against the ground and extending through the ankle, knee and hip joints (triple extension).
Continue with a rapid forward run focusing on maintaining explosive arm drive combined with explosive leg drive creating triple extension.
When approaching the center cone, drop your weight back into the hips (bending at the hips) Keep the torso tall and straight. Your feet will move in front of your body slightly to slow down your forward momentum. Touch the cone with your left hand. Keep your knees and hips bent in an athletic ready position and low enough to allow an explosive hip drive to move laterally to the next cone.
Plant the right foot into the ground as you pick up the left foot to move to the left. When the right foot is pushing off the ground and the left foot is in the air to begin the movement to the left side, the left arm should be reaching back and the right arm forward.
Pushing off the right foot, shuffle to the left toward the cone (placed about 5 yards to the left of the center cone). Feet should remain parallel to one another and your body should stay in the low the athletic ready position with your weight back into your hips during the lateral shuffling motion.
At the left cone reach down with your left hand to touch the cone (this reach will ensure that you drop back into your hips); once you have touched the cone, drive the left foot into the ground and pick up the right foot to begin the lateral shuffling movement back to the right.
Stay in the athletic ready position with your weight back into your hips, your chest lifted and straight spine and as you are shuffling to the right. Continue shuffling to the right, past the center cone, all the way to the right cone (the right cone should be 5 yards from the center cone).
At the right cone reach down with the right hand to touch the cone, then drive the right foot into the ground and pick up the left foot in order to laterally shuffle back to the center cone. At the center cone, drop back into the athletic ready position with the hips flexed and spine straight and tall and push the legs forward to move backward in a backpedaling motion to return to the original starting cone.
Exercise Variation: Have a partner or coach stand at the center cone and provide either verbal or visual instructions on which way to shuffle: either point to the left to have the athlete/client shuffle to the left, or provide a verbal cue of left to have the client/athlete move to the left. Focus on staying low with a straight spine and flexed hips, this will ensure the ability to maintain balance and control through the entire drill. The center cone should be approx. 10 yards from the initial starting cone, each side cone should be 5 yards from the center cone; the total distance of the drill should cover 40 yards; but the distance between the cones can be adjusted to make the drill more (longer distances) or less (shorter distances) challenging.

Summary of the Novel
A Tale of Two Cities is concerned with events in Paris and London before and during the French Revolution. The story focuses on Charles Darnay, the self-exiled nephew of French nobility, and his wife, Lucie Manette, daughter of Dr. Alexandre Manette. As the first of the novel's three sections begins, Jarvis Lorry is on his way to Paris to reunite Dr. Manette with the daughter who thought he has been dead for the past 18 years. Over this time Dr. Manette has forgotten his past life; he sits in a small attic room and makes shoes. Slowly, Jarvis and Lucie Manette "recall (him) to life."
The novel's second section starts five years later. Lucie Manette marries Charles Darnay. Darnay confesses a secret to Dr. Manette on the eve of the wedding. This secret turns out to be that Darnay is really Charles Evremonde, a member of the French ruling class. Darnay has renounced his past and wishes to settle in England. Meanwhile, unrest is growing in the Paris suburb of St. Antoine. The center of this unrest is a wine-shop owned by the Defarges, who are shown leading the storming of the Bastille.
The final section of the novel opens with Darnay on his way to Paris at the entreaty of a former servant who is endangered. Darnay is arrested and sentenced to die. The Manettes and Lorry hurry to Paris and succeed in freeing Darnay, but he is soon arrested again. He is sentenced to the guillotine. Sydney Carton, who bears a striking resemblance to Darnay, sneaks into the prison and switches places with Darnay. Carton is on his way to the guillotine, willing to die for the love of Lucie, while Darnay, the Manettes and Lorry flee to London.
Estimated Reading Time
Like most Victorian authors, Dickens could be verbose. At roughly 400 pages, A Tale of Two Cities is actually one of his shorter novels. While the optimal way to read this novel would be to read one weekly installment at a time, this is impractical. As the novel is broken into three sections, a better reading plan would be to read the first section in one sitting, while devoting two sittings each to the final two longer sections. Total reading time should be approximately 12 hours.

With Norse blood pumping through his veins, Kevin Bækkel focuses his all-terrain energy on a treacherous boardslide in a dusty So-Cal spillway, landing himself on the June '17 cover. Huge Creature feature inside: 50 pages of fiendish insanity (including interviews with damn near every dude on the team). Flip through and you'll agree, the Creature video is gonna be raw as F. Road dog-wise, C1rca hits the highway and reels in some whoppers and the fashion-forward Palace posse flies into Miami to hit some concrete waves. Throw a 14-page photo feature on top of that, a J-Kwon My War, Navarrette talkin' some shit, a killer Canvas, and 20 years of Burnout and you've got an issue so sick you should probably call 911. Add this one to your collection.

WSDL - Reminder that not all hacks need to be 'hard'
This past week, I was asked to assist with a pentest for a customer with multile web applications. One application, in particular, was a prime example of using very basic wsdl enumeration to help gain the 'keys to the kingdom'
Due to the very highly sensitive nature of the customer, I don't have ANY screenshots to post, however, I will give some generalized info, below, as to how the application more or less gave me all the information for complete network compromise.
For this test, I was tasked to do both internal and external testing, but to focus mainly on internal, up front, as they wanted me to focus most of my efforts on a new application, which was to be an employee-only app, deployed for some workflow processes.
I began with some session captures, and traced some local workstation traffic, to see what sorts of data were being passed, and noted a very basic lack of good session handling /validation, specific to this application. ("No-no" / oops number one) After a bit of research, I found that the application didn't time out said sessions, either, so I knew that if I could take advantage of anyone's session data / cookies, I could theoretically impersonate them, and gain furter information. Next, I fired up ethereal, and ARP poisoned the gateway and workstation of a user, and fired up a paros proxy, to see if I could get the data I needed. A short time later, I had, in my possession all the data I needed: cookie data for the user session.
I watched and noted that the user pretty much stayed in the application, most of the day. SCORE!!! Got my session to ride on.
Now that I had an authenticated session, I hit their web application, resending the session info from my proxy captures, and had an authenticated session. Now, said application didn't have much 'critical' information, at least in the sense of credit card data ot anything, BUT it did have one very interesting caveat... The wsdl file.
A very generic description of wsdl scanning (there are multiple tools that can be used to both scan and exploit wsdl) can be found here:
Wsdl scanning can provide some very valuable information. In this particular case, however, it was enough to completely pwn their network. Their wsdl exposed an element called 'get_ldap_config' (Yep, I'm sure you see this coming - injecting data into a request to get_ldap_config returned a full LDAP credentialled account. Did I mention, the configured account was a Windows 2008 Domain Admin? :-) )
Lessons to be learned -
If you're this customer, employ better session handling and validation, as well as changing the LDAP account for the app to one that isn't so critical.
If you're the tester, be sure to closely examine the apps you're testing, because the right opportunity may be just out of plain sight.
One of many articles about WSDL hacking (I advise all web-app hackers to become familiar with WSDL, as web services are becoming the all the rave):
Please feel free to expound on this thread, for others who do these attacks regularly.

but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved."

Even though the days are growing longer and the month of March begins in just a few days (does Daylight Saving Time start soon? That sunshine poking through the bedroom curtains at 6:30 AM would be much more welcome at the tail-end of the day rather than the beginning), it's been blustery and cold here in New York City. We've been smothered in snow and whipped by the wind, and if I'm going to make it through these final days of winter I need to fortify myself in the morning. And that means eating a hearty breakfast of eggs and sausage.
Texans like their breakfast sausage to come in the form of patties, not links (though we seldom say "patty" as it's just assumed when you have sausage in the morning that's what it'll be). And while nothing beats homemade breakfast sausage, in today's fast-paced world most people buy their breakfast sausage at the store. And if you're in Texas, you're buying Owens.
That familiar tube of early-morning carnivorous joy is a staple in most Texans' households. And since you can't find it very easily outside the state, it soon becomes one of the things a homesick Texan misses the most.
Sure, Owens doesn't have a lock on the breakfast-sausage market, but it's the unique combination of spices and perfect pork-to-fat ratio that fries up probably the most delicious sausage this side of homemade. Trust me, I've tried the other brands and their flavor just does not compete.
My grandfather had told me that when he was a boy, his job on hog butchering day was to make the sausage. "Was it as good as Owens?" I asked. "It was better!" he said. I realized that if I wanted a proper breakfast sausage, I'd have to make it myself so I asked him how he did it. Surprisingly, making breakfast sausage doesn't require much—just good fresh ingredients and a skillet.
While making your own sausage may sound like a daunting task, breakfast sausage is a cinch: you don't have to work with casing and there's no aging involved. Instead, it's just a simple mixture of ground pork and spices, ready to be formed into patties and cooked immediately.
Breakfast sausage may just be one of the most versatile meats to have on hand. Of course, you can fry it up and serve it with eggs. Or you can place some in a biscuit for a tasty breakfast sandwich. You can crumble it into cream gravy, throw it into breakfast tacos or I've even been known to use it on top of my pizza.
So while this recipe isn't Owens' exact recipe, I dare say it's just as good if not better because it's homemade. And once you get the hang of making it, you may never eat store-bought breakfast sausage again.
2 lbs of ground pork
1 tablespoon of sage
2 teaspoons of marjoram
2 teaspoons of thyme
2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Form into patties and fry six minutes on each side.
Keeps in the refrigerator for a week.
Note: The spice measurements are not an exact science, and what I tend to do while mixing is pinch off a little bit and fry it up to see if I like the flavor. This is what I start with, but feel free to experiment.

Nikon 1 S1 and 1 J3 preview – New additions to the Nikon 1-SeriesBy David Newton - Wednesday January 09 2013 Sensor Preview
CES has once again provided camera manufacturers with a launch pad for their latest round of consumer models. Nikon are no exception and have used the show to debut the latest models in the Nikon 1-Series line-up of interchangeable lens compact cameras. The 1 S1 and J3 feature 10.1- and 14.2-megapixel sensors respectively.
Anyone familiar with the Nikon 1-series camera will immediately recognise the familiar family resemblance, especially in the Nikon 1 J3, where the only real outward difference is the movement of the mode dial to the top of the camera where it's a little easier to see and access.
The main market for these cameras is from photographers looking for higher image quality than a smartphone or traditional compact camera can produce, with the ability to change lenses to suit the conditions. All without needing a large bag like a DSLR.
To ensure high image quality, these two models both feature Nikon CX-format CMOS sensors. In the case of the J3, it's a 14.2-megapixel sensor, while the more consumer oriented S1 features a 10.1-megapixel unit.
Image processing is handled by Nikon's now familiar EXPEED 3A processing engine, so image quality should be good.
To cope with low light shooting, both models have expanded ISO ranges – from 160-6400 in the J3 and from 100-6400 on the S1. In use, the large 3inch LCD screen found on each model makes composing images simple and ensures it is easy to see the scene, even when the light levels drop.
In a recent DxOMark test we found the Nikon 1 J2 sensor performed reasonably well scored lower than its direct competitors, so hopefully these new models have taken that performance to the next level.
Focusing is handled by Nikon's Advanced Hybrid AF system with a 73-point AF array that works for both static and moving subjects. Nikon have also address one major complaint levelled at compact cameras – the shutter release lag. Both models feature a release time of 80ms, which puts them on par with many high-end DSLR cameras. A maximum of 15 frame-per-second shooting even when using continuous AF ensures that despite their diminutive size, these cameras should still prove their worth in fast moving situations as well as those of a more static nature.
Not everyone is a photographic expert, so Nikon have included a slew of user-friendly shooting modes, including scene-selectable creative modes that allow the camera to control how the scene is recorded. For those more familiar photography, there is also the more normal shooting modes of P, Tv, Av and M.
On the movie front, both models feature full HD movie shooting and an Advanced Movie Mode that allows you to record both full HD movies and high resolution stills at the same time. With the ability to capture footage at 400fps and 1200fps, it opens up super-slow motion film capabilities as well.
The growth in smartphones has caused manufactures to re-think how compact cameras interact with other devices. Using the optional WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adaptor, it is possible to wirelessly send and share images taken on the camera via a smartphone or tablet. Combined with an App available for both Android and iOS, remote wireless control of the camera is also possible, so you don't even need to be next to your camera to take a picture.
With more people taking up water sports and the rise of action cameras, Nikon have also announced a new WP-N2 underwater case that fits both the S1 and J3 models. When used with a 1 NIKKOR 10-30mm lens it is even possible to zoom in an out while underwater. Waterproof down to 40m, it should prove useful whether you're snorkeling or just heading to the beach for the day.
Both cameras will be available as part of lens kits in February 2013. The Nikon 1 J3 carries a suggested retail price, with a 10-30mm lens, of $599.95 USD. The more consumer focused Nikon 1 S1 with an 11-27.5mm lens has a suggested retail price of $499.95 USD.
Further readings for the Nikon 1 S1 and 1 J3 preview – New additions to the Nikon 1-Series
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 and VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6 preview – Expanding the Nikon 1-Series lens lineup
Adding to the 1 NIKKOR lens line-up, two new lenses expand the possibilities of the Nikon 1 system by offering an ultra wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. Launched at CES 2013, they both feature Nikon's VR technology and optics optimised for the Nikon 1-Series cameras.
Added by bluevaping | January 22 , 2013
The 1 S1 is decent.
The nikon 1 J2 may score low against it's direct mirrorless rivals. But with more depth of field vs shallow, it does really well enough against most advanced point shoots for image quality. And with lens options suited to different situations you can get better results. And that is hard to factor in by the numbers. The fast accurate focus and good exposure makes it happen. It not a total enthusiast friendly system, but less things get in your way from framing your shoot, like that half useful mode dial now!

You begin by fucking a girl doggystyle, than when shes not paying attention you stick a maraca in her ass, grab her hips, and pound away. This will cause the maraca to make the loud "rattle" nose resembling the sound of a rattlesnake.
The Rattlesnake can be described in the following situation. Billy fucks Sally doggystyle than inserts a maraca in her ass to cause the instrument to make a nose. Basically, Billy turned Sally into a 5 ft maraca of love.

Golden Opportunities on the Mag Mile
Raffaello Hotel • Chicago, IL
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a King or Double Room ($99)
- Or, a One-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Suite ($129)
The Destination
Some streets are said to be paved in gold, but the expression is about as close to literal as you can get when applied to Chicago's Magnificent Mile. The main byway between the city's booming business district and its, well, Gold Coast, "Mag Mile" is dotted from end to end with everything glitzy—from high-end jewelers and clothiers that comprise some of the best shopping in the world to a glamorous and fast-paced nightlife scene.
The Digs
If style is any measure, Raffaello Hotel has earned its address on The Mile with its comfortable, elegant, contemporary-style rooms. Beds draped in high-thread-count Egyptian-cotton linens and spacious bathrooms outfitted with rain showers are just a few of the golden opportunities that await in optimally positioned hotel. Better still, a 24-hour fully-equipped fitness center and on-site or in-room massages allow you to keep your own personal shine in check.
The Diversions
Grab a cocktail or two on-site at the newly opened penthouse-level Drumbar Lounge, a speakeasy-style venue with and outdoor garden terrace. For dinner, sate your silver-platter expectations with a delectably on-the-money meal prepared by Michelin star-rated Chef Mauro Mafrici at the critically acclaimed Pelago Ristorante. Whatever entrées you choose, be sure to leave room for a rich hazelnut mousse and chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream. Stroll with the smart set as you visit some of Chicago's most popular attractions just down the street, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art and the John Hancock Center. And, the shimmering shores of Lake Michigan are just a few short blocks from your hotel door.
"The steps-from-Michigan Avenue location is working in its favor. Guest rooms are spacious and comfortable. Dressed in varying shades of a neutral hay color, they have modern-looking bathrooms with rain showers and excellent city views."-- Fodor's Review of Raffaello Hotel

What do this stupid Selena? Where have you being living at? Under a rock? Selena has been making all the right choices in her career while Justin has been screwing up left and right. She doesn't need him and he certainly needs her for guidance. I'm very happy they finally broke up. Hopefully he'll get rid of all those kids around him who are bringing him down.

I can't believe what this kid is doing just because he can. He became a superstar so fast and became very rich very quickly. He hasn't had time to grow up. He's got bad people all around him and is picking up bad habits from them. He gets what he wants when he wants it. His appearance tells us he wants to be a bad boy. Everything he wears, the way he talks now, the way he walks, all the partying almost every day,and the disrespect he shows towards other people are signs he's heading down the wrong path in his career. Where are his mom, dad, and his agent? He definitely needs guidance NOW! Hopefully he'll get some help before he goes on a downward spiral.

Simple Pleasures in the Massachusetts Mountains
Ramblewood Inn • Sheffield, MA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in the Greylock, Everett, or Monument Rooms, Sundays through Thursdays ($175)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two in the Greylock, Everett, or Monument Rooms, Fridays and Saturdays ($225)
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
Outhotonnook, a Native American term meaning "over the mountain," was the original name of what is now Sheffield, Massachusetts. Although difficult to pronounce, it's still fitting today: this small town in the Berkshires region has a laid-back sophistication with a "no muss, no fuss" attitude and mountain vistas for miles. A place where folks come to appreciate life's simple pleasures, Sheffield has the area's most abundant concentration of antiques stores and working farms—and bustling New York and Boston are little more than two hours away by car.
The Digs
Set amid two acres of tranquil woodlands, Ramblewood Inn envelops visitors in its homespun charm from your first moment of arrival. The chalet-style log home is minutes from the serene Berkshire Trout Pond and features warm country décor. "Our rooms were very comfortable and clean with a great view of the autumn woods which surrounded the place," a former guest remembers. "The style was a modern log cabin so the place was not stuffy—the chairs and sofas were very comfortable and the living room became ours to share for happy hour and late-night conversation."
The Diversions
In warm-weather months, you'll be in a prime spot to hike or bike the Appalachian Trail from Mount Everett, or take a canoe out on the nearby lake. From Butternut to Catamount and several more ski/snowboard resorts in the immediate vicinity, powder hounds will have plenty of options to choose among come wintertime. If your idea of sport has more to do with scoring a priceless heirloom, Sheffield is an antiquer's dream. Susan Silver specializes in English and Continental formal furnishings from the 18th and 19th centuries; Kuttner carries everything from hooked rugs, folk art, and American antiques; and Samuel Herrup deals in all manner of ceramics, textiles, metalwork, paintings, and furniture.
"The contemporary log cabin construction... imparts a distinct warmth and conviviality often lacking amid the antiques-filled premises elsewhere. Exposed wood sets the cheerful mood, which is further enhanced by the hospitality of [the] innkeepers."-- Yankee Magazine
