myers will be a solid checkdown option similar to witten for dallas. i expect we'll try and target him downfield some too, but iirc and I'm fairly certain because it was such a strong statistic, of the 80something receptions he had for Oakland last yr, none were of the kind where the ball traveled 20 yds or more. He was pretty much strictly an underneath/intermediate type TE. ALmost exactly like Witten. Which is why I'm thinking we signed him.
Now, I really wouldnt write home about Bear Pascoe, but he has come through in some big spots. made a nice TD grab vs SF in the NFC CG, made some nice catches in the SB when called upon after the injury devastated our TE position. So, we really could do much worse at the 2 TE spot, but I dont even think he makes it there on the depth bc he will be primarily a FB for a while.
WHich leads me to A.Robinson. If he's the "JPP of TE's" as JR dubbed (and he's been pretty spectacular in his player assessments) we gotta see something from him this yr. Dont know how u could keep a guy with that kinda upside to be termed that by the GM, off the field? He's as athletic as a WR, and from what I understand, has made some significant strides in blocking. I expect he'll start the season out as our #2 TE and that'd speak to his talent bc he is still young/raw. And I expect we'll have some plays where he displays that athleticism and blocking ability.
Outlook is pretty awesome IF, big if, IF JR's assessment of A.Robinson is close.

The shenanigans that corporations play with disingenuous politicians, which place them in a higher position than the politician's individual constituents. These shenanigans may include contributions, lobbying, influence peddling, manipulation of regulatory environments, strong-arming, or other techniques, not unlike those of organized crime, but legitimized by a corporate presence, employed to create a favorable environment for the corporation and its shareholders mostly to the detriment of the individual constituents within the district served and the corporation's stakeholders. Often corporo-political jackassery exploits weak-minded people who respond to buzzwords and grossly oversimplified skeletal concepts they don't understand with militant activism in defense of the buzzword, despite the obvious detriment to the individual; i.e., "Obamacare."
A number of protections were enacted following the Great Depression to prevent our economy from tanking, however thanks to decades of corporo-political jackassery, most were deregulated and Wall Street was alloiwed to police itself. The end product left the U.S. with massive foreclosures, layoffs, and an exodus of industry which further eroded the middle class.

Five panels of the World AIDS Memorial quilt will remain on display through Wednesday, Dec. 5, at Pulaski Technical College as part of the college's observance of World AIDS Day.
The five panels will be on display from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. daily in the Campus Center Grand Hall. The display is open to the public at no charge.
The panels are part of a 54-ton handmade tapestry that serves as a memorial to more than 90,000 people who have died of AIDS. The AIDS Memorial quilt began with a single 3 x 6 foot panel created in San Francisco in 1987. Today, the quilt is comprised of more than 47,000 individual 3 x 6 foot panels, each one commemorating the life of someone who has died of AIDS. The panels come from every state in the nation, every corner of the globe and they have been sewn by hundreds of thousands of friends, lovers and family members.
"These handmade blocks, created by friends and family, tell the stories of individuals who have lost their lives to AIDS," said Julie Rhoad, executive director of The NAMES Project Foundation, which is the custodian of the quilt. "We bring you their stories in the hope of inspiring compassion, healing and personal responsibility. We thank Pulaski Technical College for hosting this event, and we invite you all out to see what wonderful art we have created together as a nation."

EPA New England works with school districts, state agencies and industry to promote the use of cleaner fuels and advanced pollution reduction technology. There are over dozens of diesel retrofit projects underway in New England, affecting more than 10,000 vehicles. School buses, transit buses, locomotives, construction equipment, tourist trolleys and diesel equipment used at ports are among the types of vehicles that have been retrofitted. The type of retrofit equipment in use includes diesel particulate matter filters, diesel oxidation catalysts, and crankcase filters. In addition, some projects are using cleaner fuels such as ultra low sulfur diesel and biodiesel. Although many projects have been funded with federal or state resources, some have been funded with private funds and others are the result of contract specifications requiring retrofitted equipment.
In addition, every New England state has a program underway to reduce diesel emissions. Connecticut (PDF) (347 pp, 7.7 MB) and Rhode Island have adopted diesel reduction action plans. In Massachusetts (PDF) (2 pp, 55 K), a December 2006 landmark agreement between the Department of Environmental Protection and the Executive Office of Transportation has resulted in $22.5 million in funding to retrofit every school bus and transit bus in the state by 2010. Maine has developed a comprehensive program to reduce emissions from school buses through a combination of retrofits and anti-idling policies. New Hampshire has launched a voluntary initiative to reduce idling from school buses through a partnership with the New Hampshire School Transportation Association (NHSTA). Vermont is using EPA Clean School Bus funding to implement a project to retrofit school buses statewide and is also working to develop idling restrictions for school buses.
Northeast Diesel Collaborative
EPA New England, aware of the value of working together to combat emissions, has joined with EPA Region 2, the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) and the governments of the eight northeastern states to establish the Northeast Diesel Collaborative (NEDC). The NEDC combines the expertise of public and private partners in a coordinated regional initiative to significantly reduce diesel emissions from existing fleets in five key sectors: municipal, transit, freight, construction, and ports. Recent achievements by NEDC and its partners include:
- As part of a landmark $22.5 million agreement between the environmental protection and transportation agencies in Massachusetts, regional transit and school buses statewide will be equipped with advanced pollution controls.
- Four states have new laws requiring emissions controls on public fleets, including school buses (CT, NJ, RI), garbage trucks (NJ), all state-owned or contracted vehicles (NY), and municipal vehicles (NJ).
- NESCAUM, on behalf of NEDC, is retrofitting 500 to 600 utility company vehicles throughout the eight-state region.
- In the inaugural year of the NEDC Emissions Reduction Grant Program, EPA Regions 1 and 2 awarded $1.4 million to eight organizations in CT, MA, ME, NJ, NY, and VT to reduce pollution from diesel school buses, construction equipment, and locomotives.
The NEDC is joining other organizations in New England to help with local efforts to reduce diesel emissions. One such initiative is Greater Boston Breathes Better (GB3), which involves government, businesses, schools and non-profit organizations working to reduce air pollution from transportation and construction sources in and around Boston. GB3 provides a range of options to companies, institutions, and municipalities that want to reduce air pollution and air toxics from mobile sources.
Transit Buses
New England is fortunate to have one of the nation's largest and most extensive public transit systems, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). MBTA buses, boats, and trains serve more than 4.6 million people in 175 cities and towns with an area of 3,244 square miles. In addition, commuter bus services connect people traveling from rural and suburban locations to Boston and other urban centers in New England.
Public transportation is a safe and reliable alternative to driving alone which helps to reduce traffic congestion and regional air pollution, and save commuters money. However, the diesel exhaust from transit vehicles contains particulate matter, which can potentially cause serious health problems. Exposure to elevated particulate levels can increase the likelihood of respiratory symptoms in sensitive individuals, aggravate heart or lung disease, and cause premature mortality in people with cardiopulmonary disease and older people.
Nationally, more than 95 percent of buses used for public transportation are powered by diesel fuel. EPA New England is working with state and local partners to encourage retrofitting, replacing and reducing idling from the existing fleet of transit buses. To date, the MBTA has upgraded its fleet of nearly 1000 buses with a combination of cleaner vehicles and buses retrofitted with advanced emission control technology.

Mar 26, 2007 at 3:08 pm #1222540
Hey everyone, about to purchase a western mountaineering aspen mf 25 deg sleeping bag just based on the opinions of everyone on this site but don't really understand what makes it such a great bag only that everyone likes it. What makes a bag $300 dollars as opposed to a $100 dollars? What is different other than pack size and weight? Is that all you're paying for because temperature rating doesn't seem to have an effect on the price and goose down I assume is goose down no matter what bag it's in. Thanks in advance, appreciate your help. EricMar 26, 2007 at 3:33 pm #1383617
Scott PetersonMember
@scottalanpLocale: Northern California
I am certain you can query "down ratings" and get a pile of info., but in a nutshell, that and craftsmanship are what you are paying for. $300 and up should buy you premium quality down as well as more advanced/maticulous assembly.
Your assumption that any farmed product would be the same grade as the next leads me to believe I would not want you to do my grocery shopping! I have to believe that like quality wool, or cotton, or foods, the process can leave the grower with a multitude of qualities. Premium gear manuf.'s who specialize in down products focus on the fluffiest down they can get. This is what will offer you the best pack size and rebound and warmth for the weight.
Also, some of the synthetic fabrics used for the shell are rather expensive and hard to come by…and the internal designs to keep the down in place tend to be pretty intricate.
Bottom line, you probably could source and assemble just about the same quality bag for the cost of materials, but you would hard pressed to beat their retail if you charged yourself $10 or $12 an hour labor from start to finish.Mar 26, 2007 at 4:12 pm #1383625
Eric, it sounds to me like you're just starting your research into sleep systems. There are other options to the bag you are considering. I'm not trying to talk you out of a Western Mountaineering bag as I own a WM Versalite Super, and love it. You need to take into account the clothing you have with you, the conditions you will be in and the shelter you may be using. Synthetic insulation might be better for you. You might prefer a quilt when it's above freezing, like I do. If you don't like feeling confined Montebell bags might be another option to consider. Consider the entire sleep system not just a bag. My sleep system varies depending on the conditions and the shelter I'm using or the lack thereof. When in my hammock an under quilt is part of my sleep system. When on the ground a pad.
I also want to say something about temperature rating. In the US, temperature ratings are set by the manufacturer and therefore vary widely. In my experience, manufacturers of cheap bags have optimistic temperature ratings. Be very careful when comparing temperature ratings. Amount of loft can be a better measure, though you must take into account the loss of loft over time. Synthetics loose it faster then down, depending on the quality of both.Mar 26, 2007 at 4:42 pm #1383631
Pedro ArvyBPL Member
@pedroarvyLocale: Melbourne
I can also say from seeing a number of bags that the loft on WM bags beats anything I've seen from Marmot or Feathered Friends in bags of similar weight. That translates directly to warmth. Of course, you could probably get a cheaper bag that was just as warm but it would most likely weigh more.Mar 26, 2007 at 5:11 pm #1383633
Caleb WiningerMember
@caleb_sandlerLocale: Michigan
the higher the quality of down the higher the price, but the greater the warmth value per ounce of down. (ie 1 oz of 850 fill is way warmer than 1 oz of 600 fill, so it takes less to get you to your desired temp rating, but it also costs way more.) WM bags use pretty much the highest quality down known to man. the high price gets you insane warmth at an insanely low weight. cheaper bags may get you the warmth, but the weight and compressed size will be significanly greater.
the same holds true with synthetics. the better ones (ie. polarguard 3d) get you more warmth at less weight but cost more.
WM bags also use highly technical shell fabrics that breath well (ie. move moisture from perspiration, your breath etc)the the outside of the bag where it can evaporate rather than take up residence in your insulation, where it can greatly reduce loft and therefor warmth. cheaper bags tend to use less breathable, heavier fabrics like tactel nylon etc.Mar 26, 2007 at 8:56 pm #1383652
Thank you so much for the replies. I'll have to do more research into it. I am a newbie but am trying to read as much as possible so I only have to buy things once instead of upgrading a few times. I will definitely consider the sleep system like suggested but love the comment on the better bags being more breathable as well. Thanks again. EricMar 27, 2007 at 5:57 am #1383680

My first sleeping bag a Feathered Friends Gore-Tex 10 bag lasted me 20 years. Used it in 40 degree summer and below 0 in the winter.
Well worth the investment in a good bag in a good company that stands behind their products.Mar 27, 2007 at 8:37 am #1383698
Eric, More advise, for what it's worth. You may be tempted to do what I did and try to buy one bag that will do it all. As I said earlier, I bought a WM Versalite Super as my "do it all" bag. I took it on a week long trip in the Colorado Rockies during the last week of July and cooked. My Versalite is easily a 10°F bag. Even with the zipper totally undone, I cooked. Your considering a WM 25°F bag that may be similarly uncomfortable in the summer. I was lucky because my Versalite makes a perfect winter bag. I now use a down quilt for the rest of the year, when it's above freezing and below 60°F. The right clothing and pad with my Versalite will take it well below it's rating in the winter. The right clothing makes my quilt cover a wide temperature range as well. That's why I stressed the concept of a sleep system in my previous post. I don't know where you're planning on going or in what seasons, but these are vital questions you need to consider. If you give us a where and when we can be more specific in our advise.Mar 27, 2007 at 4:07 pm #1383762
barry hitchcockMember
i am on the opposite side of the fence to eric. i use a winter sleeping bag all year round. slept down to 16f in it and at nearly 70f on it. if you can only afford one bag, get one that goes down the minimum temperature you think you will encounter then zip yourself in or out as necessary— WARNING this advice is not UL and i might be asked to leave this siteMar 27, 2007 at 6:04 pm #1383783

I have the hooded version of the Aspen MF. You will find it to be easily capable of exceeding the rating.
Compare this to the total BS ratings on may bags. Lets just pick on Kelty* as an example. If Kelty claims 15 degrees add 20 degrees in your head and consider their bag a 35 degree sack.
* Picking on Kelty because I bought 2 of their bags years ago and found the 20 degree overstatement to hold true.Mar 27, 2007 at 6:24 pm #1383787
George MatthewsBPL Member
I have a synthetic bag – heavy and wanted to try a cheap down bag. Did no research. Just looked for and found a bargain. Would have been better to wait and save and get a good quality bag. I'm shopping for a better bag now.
Yet another case of a poorly spent Ben Franklin. I'm sure I could stay plenty warm if I could stuff a sleeping bag with all the cash I've spent unwisely. But I have begun to see the light, thanks to all of the wizards at BLP.Mar 27, 2007 at 6:26 pm #1383788

@brett1234Locale: CA
I agree with Eric, you should consider your bag as part of your sleep system which can include some or all the following; tent footprint, tent, sleeping pad, bivy sack, bag, liner, and the insulating clothing you are wearing. Each item adds insulation by reducing conduction convection and/or net radiation.
Something like a 1 lb Western Mountaineering, Feathered Friends, or Montbell bag with 2" of loft, and a set of Patagonia Micro Puffs or Montbell Thermawraps is a very warm setup. How warm depends on your metabolism.Mar 27, 2007 at 6:46 pm #1383791
George MatthewsBPL Member
I wish there was an integrated gear guide. A tree diagram maybe. e.g., A given pack that will carry 20 lb. Then a branch to Tent and to Tarp/Bivy. Then branches to reg bags, top bags, quilts. And branches to sleeping pads.
For the big four, I really messed up when I haphazardly bought my first and 2nd rounds of gear. For lightweight 3 season coming up, this time I'm starting with pack. Then I'm going to shelter. then finally bag/quilt and pad.Mar 27, 2007 at 6:57 pm #1383793

>For lightweight 3 season coming up, this time I'm starting with pack. Then I'm going to shelter. then finally bag/quilt and pad.
You might want to do that in the opposite order: get your pack last. You might find after you've settled into your lightweight gear that you could have bought a smaller pack, and maybe you don't need a transport quite as beefy as you thought. I bought my pack last, and it weighed a full pound less than the pack I originally thought I needed.Mar 27, 2007 at 7:24 pm #1383798

@brett1234Locale: CA
George, I also messed up, as per your comment;
"For the big four.. I haphazardly bought my first and 2nd rounds of gear.. this time I'm starting with pack. Then I'm going to shelter. then finally bag/quilt and pad."
And I ended up returning or just keeping a few sleeping bags which were too heavy or inappropriate. In the end, it wasn't the most expensive bag which was worth the $ (the original subject of this thread), it was a balance of comfort, space, weight, and cost.
..however, to digress and risk hijaking this thread for a moment, I agree with the previous poster, buy the systems (including sleep system) you need to fulfil your set of requirements, THEN buy the pack(s) sized appropriately to hold it all.
For any readers looking for a way to compartmentalize their purchases, the book 'Mountaineering'*, gives these 10 essential 'systems', which I have (slightly modified) without changing the order:
1. Navigation
2. Sun protection
3. Insulation
4. Illumination(and signalling)
5. First-aid
6. Fire making
7. Repair kit and tools
8. Nutrition(and cooking)
9. Hydration(and H2O treatment)
10. Shelter(and shells)
For now, I have settled on a few packs, depending on the size of those system components. The size of the appropriate sleeping system as per this thread, is a big factor in choice of pack volume..
20 liter range: Montbell Versalite20, 340g
40 liter range: Golite Dawn, 392g
60 liter range: Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian, 1600g
Canyoneering: Outdoor Research DryComp Summit Sack, 346g

Same reason a filet mignon costs more than a round steak.Mar 28, 2007 at 11:30 am #1383872
Yes, looking for an all in one bag if it's possible. Obviously a newbie but planning on hiking a piece of the appalachian trail this september(prob. NY, section) and then continuing on for years to come. Big dreams so looking to conquer alot of well known areas but I know I'll learn as I go but just trying to start out right with high quality gear. Big camper, but now getting in to the packing. I bought a black diamond lighthouse tent and granite gear vapor trail bag. I have a thermarest prolite 4 for my pad. Now looking at stoves and a bag. Was going on the recommendation of get a 20-30deg. bag if you're buying just one. Was also looking at this bag because it opens up and can be used as a comforter if needed on hot nights. And, I can definitely use it on higher peaks and colder nights. Again, thank you very much for the input. Appreciate all the help I can get.Mar 28, 2007 at 11:33 am #1383873
What's your thoughts on getting a 40deg bag and buying a sleep liner for extra warmth. Thanks, EricMar 28, 2007 at 11:56 am #1383877
Eric, I've never used a bag liner so take this for what it is worth. I've never felt the need for a bag liner because it's a single use item. I can achieve the same functionality as a liner with the clothing I carry, and have all the versatility that affords. Some users of bag liners have posted that they've become tangled in them during the night. The one advantage that a bag liner might have, is that it might keep your bag a little cleaner. However, my clothes have kept my bag and quilt quite clean in practice.
A high quality 40°F down bag with the right clothing and pad should be adequate for most 3 season use. I would lean toward a 30°F bag if the bag is lower quality, you choose a synthetic bag, or you sleep cold. Choosing a bag is a very personal thing, it depends on your metabolism and what is driving it at the time. I'm sure you know this already, but insulation only preserves the heat you are generating.Mar 28, 2007 at 12:49 pm #1383882
Caleb WiningerMember
@caleb_sandlerLocale: Michigan
i have a coolmax liner and it adds almost no warmth. it claims to add up to 9 degrees F. i have read a lot of other comments at BPL that agree with my conclusion: claims that liners make about increased temp rating are gross exagerations at the very best. i would skip it and spend the extra $ on clothing you can sleep in or a better bag.

We can't wait to get our hands on the new Nokia Lumia 900 which will be hitting stores in April.
After dominating this year's CES, Nokia's first LTE smartphone Lumia 900 is set to release early April. Donning an impressively large 4.3-inch touchscreen display, Windows Phone 7.5 Mango Commercial Release 2 (Mango + LTE) operating system, a Carl Zeiss enhanced wide angle camera lens and sleek thin .45 inch body, your clunky iPhone will almost look archaic in comparison.
The Lumia 900 was designed specifically with the U.S. in mind as it will be available on AT&T's 4G LTE network, but the model will also be accessible in countries where LTE providers are not yet available. While there is only speculation on what one of these phones will run you, judging by past accessibly priced models, the Lumia 900 won't cost you an arm and a leg, a relief for us smartphone addicts.

Palm Springs Web company wants out of California
SquawkBoard.com asks, 'why stay here?'
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - The backbone of a new social website with free online classifieds is looking to not only leave Palm Springs, but leave California altogether.
SquawkBoard.com offers "neighborhood bulletin boards" for neighborhoods throughout the United States, so where the company moves to is really wide open, said spokeswoman Faith Jackson.
"California's tax hike will place a strain on SquawkBoard's growing company and is seeking to save various taxes by moving out of the state," she said.
Gov. Jerry Brown is seeking to raise taxes and establish across-the-board cuts as a way to shore up the state's $16 billion budget gap. Sales and income taxes are first on his list, with hopes of raising enough money to prevent more cuts to education.
But more and more, business leaders are starting to see Brown's plans as "taxing" their relationship with the state.
"Why start or stay here ... where the tax burden continues on the uprise for all businesses?" asked said SquawkBoard's CEO Gary Drew.
He claims 254 large companies have left California over the last year, which is five times higher than 2009. He said he fears the latest tax hike will probably push his company out, too.
"We're looking for a state that we can expand and grow SquawkBoard," Drew explained.
SquawkBoard's re-location, of course, has a heavy online component.
The company wants feedback online or calls to SquawkBoard telling them where they should re-locate.

Important!!!! Green Slime
if you use green slime for a tire repair this is a must know this is off there website
I have chromed wheels, can I use SLiME?
The chroming process results in a surface that is highly susceptible to
damage over time. In most cases, manufacturers will only warrant their
wheels against chipping, pitting and corroding for one year. This is due to the
nature of the plate, which is easily damaged even by simple cleaning
products, brake dust, moisture etc.
We do not recommend using our product in conjunction with this type of wheel. Pre-existing damage, prior to the installation of SLiME, could be present. Once the sealant is installed any damage that was already present, such as peeling chrome, could be exacerbated by the liquid which can get up under the peeling chrome surface and lift it further.
Note: SLiME tire sealant contains a high concentration of rust and corrosion inhibitors and is formulated with ingredients that maintain its stability and ensure the integrity of the wheel and tire. It is compatible with all common metal compositions.
I've heard that SLiME will ruin my rims?
Our SLiME Sealant for tubeless tires is formulated with rust and corrosion
inhibitors as well as a pH buffer making the product more alkaline. All of
these ingredients work to protect the integrity of your rim. It is important to
note there are factors which can allow damage to occur in spite of this. If you
want to err on the side of caution, you can use SLiME as a roadside repair. All
you need is SLiME and an air compressor! SLiME can have an adverse affect on
certain types of aluminum rims. Because alloys differ, it is difficult to predict
how SLiME will react with your rims specifically. Over the years, though, we
have found that older rims are more susceptible to damage from SLiME. Make
sure that, if you have tubeless tires, you are using our tubeless formula. Our
inner tube formula does not contain rust and corrosion inhibitors. Do not
leave SLiME inside your tires for more than 2 years. After that time, we cannot
guarantee the integrity of your rims. If pre-existing damage is present, we do not recommend using SLiME.

|I've had problems getting paid from them as well. By the time you get paid for the work you forgot they owed you in the first place. I'm used to working COD calls so keeping up with billing is a big pitfall for me and I have on occasion taken a chance on a small job for the access to tech support that comes with it. When I dealt with them I would have them ship the parts to the customer. I'd trade my time for knowledge if they didn't pay but wouldn't put any of my money on the line for it. I think in total I only did about 5 jobs for them.
Don't really have anything at the moment

|You picked a bad day to make this thread! i should wait to post this until i have discussed things with my samsung rep. my biggest issue is getting parts. when you call they tell you they are busy and to use the website. when you use the website the appliance isn't listed. when you order parts they never show up. The different departments don't talk to each other. customer service does a follow up call with the customer 1 or 2 days after the service date. the customer says "we are waiting for parts" samsung calls us and asks where the parts are. We respond with "you tell us, we ordered them from you" Today we got a call from a samsung customer who is patiently waiting for parts and the rep told them that the tech probably forgot about you the second he left your house. This customer called us to let us know Samsung is bad mouthing us. Aren't manufacturers and authorized warranty providers supposed to be on the same team? I have scheduled myself some time on thursday to call samsung and end my contract. I hope i can get a hold of my rep, the last time i tried she wouldn't answer and her voice mailbox was full....im done!

|speaking of samsung....
here's a news story I got from China CSR
Samsung Recalls Substandard Refrigerators In China
Following an explosion of one of its Jiperu refrigerators in South Korea, Samsung Electronics has decided to recall some of its refrigerators which are sold in China.
It is reported that the product is sold in China as Samsung RSH1.
Samsung says that it has filed a recall application to China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and is waiting for AQSIQ's approval for the recall. The company states that the recall will be made according to the schedule released by AQSIQ.
Meanwhile, Samsung has apologized to its Chinese consumers for the inconvenience brought to them and says the recall is also the company's response to the Chinese government's defective products recall initiative. It also stated that as a leading consumer electronics provider, it would continue to improve its product quality and safety standards to benefit the whole society.
On October 10, 2009 a Jiperu refrigerator made in 2006 by Samsung exploded in a house in South Korea. The blast was so powerful that it shattered the room's doors and windows. Samsung's investigation shows that excessive frost in the refrigerant piping of the refrigerator caused an electric leakage in the electric coupler of the refrigerator, which finally led to the explosion.
Samsung has already announced a recall of the Jiperu in South Korea,: involving 210,000 refrigerators.

Around 300 BC, the Greek dramatist Menander wrote something that, roughly translated, reads, "Marriage, to tell the truth, is an evil, but it is a necessary evil."
That probably explains why gay men and lesbians are so eager to engage in the practice. Having been forced by federal, state, and local governments to suffer under onerous mandates such as paying taxes, wearing seatbelts, not smoking on public beaches, and deciding whether to support Democratic incumbent Mike Michaud or Republican challenger Kevin Raye for Maine's 2nd Congressional District seat in 2012, the homosexual population of Maine feels it has paid its dues and should now be forced by law to bear the burden of matrimony.
Also, getting married would lower their taxes, supply someone to remind them to buckle up, and give them a companion to blame for that smoldering butt on the beach. Unfortunately, it won't help much in sorting out the dreadful choice between Michaud and Raye.
As a matter of fairness, it seems reasonable to extend the opportunity for wedded bliss to same-sex couples, if only to demonstrate that we demand they share in the agony. If most Mainers thought about it in this way — even the ones who don't like gays — they'd support the new effort to put a marriage equality measure on the ballot next year.
"We have to change hearts and minds," Betsy Smith, executive director of Equality Maine proclaimed at the campaign kickoff in Lewiston last month. She didn't mention the necessary-evil thing, but it might have been implied.
Smith should be more upfront about Menander's insight. A lot of people who voted against same-sex marriage in 2009, when a state law allowing the practice was repealed by a People's Veto, claimed publicly they had nothing against homosexuals. They just didn't want them marrying — or adopting, teaching, kissing in public, or suing anyone who discriminated against them. They were OK with them paying taxes and wearing seatbelts, mixed on the smoking ban on public beaches, and as confused as the rest of us about the Michaud-Raye dilemma.
The point is: They don't like gays.
Therefore, they ought to be all on board with any effort to persecute them by allowing same-sexers to be legally bound to smothering, jealous, unreasonable, and argumentative spouses, who have made no effort to keep up their appearance and haven't cooked a meal or cleaned the house since the wedding day.
You'd think promoting same-sex marriage would be at the top of the homophobes' agenda.
The law they'd oppose would be same-sex divorce.
According to recent polls, about 53 percent of Maine voters support weighing down gays and lesbians with the ol' ball and chain, while just 47 percent are against the idea. Organizers of the referendum drive seem buoyed by those figures, apparently having forgotten that surveys before the '09 vote showed a similar margin of victory. On election day, the numbers flipped, and the marriage-rights law went down to defeat by about 33,000 votes out of more than 568,000 cast.
To make sure that doesn't happen again, Equality Maine has pledged to change the minds of 15,000 opponents. (That figure seems to be a little off, possibly because we don't require gay people to take an extra year of high-school math the way we do straights.)

Anyone here have experience using apitherapy where conventional treatments have failed? I'm wondering if it's worth trying. Nothing seems to work for my arthritis except painkillers. I'd like to be lucid and pain-free for a change!
Anyone here have experience using apitherapy where conventional treatments have failed? I'm wondering if it's worth trying. Nothing seems to work for my arthritis except painkillers. I'd like to be lucid and pain-free for a change!

Please feel free to call Glen Perry at wholeprpolis.com.
He is one of the few people who have used this treatment and as much I know - he gave a lecture at our local meeting - he has been successful with it.
Wish you good luck,
Bee stings have helped my arthritis and nerve pains from back injuries, it may or may not help you or others. All I can say is try it out and see if it helps you or not.
i believe i get an anti-arthritic effect in my hands after getting stung.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
I started BVT last Oct for my arthritis. I'd say it's definitely worth a try. I also started taking propolis capsules and honey on a daily basis. I've been able to get off my prescription meds completely. I did still have to have hip surgery to repair a torn ligament. Bee stings apparently can't help the body heal that :-) They say bee stings are not as useful in the winter months, but my girls still seem to pack a punch. But in this part of VA, they are out flying many days in winter.
If you do decide to give it a try, start slow. Took me about 6 weeks until I got over the constant itching from the sting. I ordered Pat Wagner's book, and that has been very helpful with the basics.
Ruth Meredith https://www.facebook.com/topbarbeehive
If your going to try it the video Art of the Sting is a pretty good reference video to start with. Like mentioned above Pat Wagner's book How Well are You Willing to Bee is also a good reference. Good luck and I hope it works for you.
"Of all God's creatures, only the honeybee improves its environment and preys on no other species."--Haydon Brown
Thanks guys - I will check if Amazon has a copy of the book and try to find the video. I have an appointment with the rheumatologist in 2 weeks and another with the surgeon next month. I am so NOT interested in spending the prime of my second beekeeping season in rehab!! I just need to push it off until Fall.
It's also interesting, ruthiesbees' bees are flying. Perhaps you're warmer down in Tidewater? Italian/Carniolan mutts don't seem to bother much until it's 55F.

Bee sting therapy has given me very positive results for osteoarthritis of the knees over the years. The American Apitherapy Society is worth joining, offers publications including Jim Higgins DVD "Art of the Sting", as well as an apitherapy course and conference May 3 -5 near Chicago. Their website is www.apitherapy.org .
I have work on over 1000 hive to collect bee venom in Alberta and i will have more production in summer of 2014 ,it is lots of value to use bee product and require lots of information if you looking for cure ,become member of AAs and search on API NEWS about all of API product ,
I USE MY N chromosome royal jelly more then bee venom.
Yes I use bee stings and it does wonders for me. Let the bee sting you where the pain is.
I got my rheumatologist's approval to try bee stings. It's not like I couldn't do it anyway, but it's nice to have physician support. The issue now is to get the nerve to actually go through with this. The reality of doing this intentionally is scarier than the general concept.
I tried bringing bees home in a jar, but they died. I used my sugar roll jar, dribbled honey on the screen, gave them sugar and a little of water, etc. My thought is to get an Ulster nuc/observation hive and use that for apitherapy bees. It's smaller and likely to be more acceptable to my family than a traditional observation hive. What's the best way to bring bees home when your hives are miles away?

CINCINNATI – Cincinnati native Mandy Commons-DiSalle has been named the University of Cincinnati swimming and diving head coach, Director of Athletics Mike Bohn announced Wednesday.
Commons-DiSalle takes the helm of the program following four seasons as an assistant coach for the Bearcats.
"Mandy seized this opportunity and won the role as head coach for the Bearcats swimming and diving program," Bohn said. "She will have an immediate and lasting impact on all on our swimming constituents. She distinguished herself as the clear leader from an outstanding field of candidates. She is a former standout competitor who has transcended to being a proven recruiter with a strong commitment to student-athlete welfare. We were extremely impressed with her grit, poise and passionate attitude during our extensive search process."
During her time at UC, Commons-DiSalle has served as the recruiting coordinator for both the men's and women's programs. Recently, she was responsible for recruiting an eagerly anticipated, 14-member signing class for the 2014-15 season which will add depth to the UC roster in several events.
"It's a great honor to assume leadership of the Cincinnati program," Commons-DiSalle said. "I am very proud to represent Cincinnati and my hometown University. We have some outstanding student-athletes here and I am fully invested in the development of our program and excited to be able to continue to inspire this team. I want to thank the University leadership and my athletic department colleagues for this tremendous opportunity and I am looking forward to the future successes I believe we will collectively achieve."
On the women's side, she helped mentor Jackie Keire to a pair of American Athletic Conference championships in 2014, while the freshman also qualified for the NCAA Championships in three events. Commons-DiSalle has also helped grow the men's program as they continue a transition to full scholarships which began in 2013.
Working as the Bearcats' recruiting coordinator, Commons-DiSalle was responsible for leading and organizing on-campus visits for prospective student-athletes and their families, while maintaining relationships with club teams and high schools throughout the country. She also developed the budget for recruiting, while assisting with team operations for equipment orders and travel arrangements.
"Cincinnati is a great swimming town," Commons-DiSalle said. "There are great youth programs, which I was a part of growing up, strong high school teams and a wealth of prospective student-athletes and fans. We are going to do our best to keep those kids in Cincinnati while reaching out nationally and internationally to put together the best team we can."
Prior to coming to UC, she spent one season as a coach with the Cincinnati Marlins, developing swimmers aged 6-14. Prior to that, she spent two years as the owner of Varsity Athletic Consulting, a firm designed to help guide Cincinnati-area athletes through the college recruiting process.
Before entering the private sector, Commons-DiSalle began her collegiate coaching career as an assistant at the University of Toledo. While with the Rockets, she helped coordinate the budget, team travel, scholarship distribution and helped oversee the program's fundraising efforts.
Commons-DiSalle swam collegiately at Clemson, where she was a four-time NCAA Championship qualifier, earning Honorable Mention All-America status in 2001 and '02. She was also a National Strength & Conditioning All-American in 2000. She majored in economics with a minor in human resource management, receiving her degree from Clemson in 2003. She earned an MBA while coaching at Toledo.
Commons-DiSalle was a three-time Ohio High School Athletic Association state champion at Sycamore High School, where she is enshrined in the school's athletic hall of fame. She and her husband, Eric, reside in Cincinnati.

Discreet Hacking Devices
There is a project out there, called RaspberryPwn, that is supposed to be a pentesting Linux distro for the RasPi. It's easy enough to put together your own pentesting tools, especially with something like Arch Linux, but it's still interesting.
Raspberry Pi is not the only platform I have in mind, either. Gooseberry, APC, etc. are similar, each with different specs.
I imagine one could leave a scan running over the course of several days, or weeks, running slow enough to not trigger an IDS, and pick it up later. Some of them are cheap enough that it would be of little concern if you were unable to recover it for some reason (RasPi is only $35).
Anyway, just an idea I had rolling around. Let me know what you think.

Bikram yoga is a demanding, 26 pose (asana) series. This is conducted in a heated room to warm up your whole body, and allows you to work deep into your muscles, tendons and ligaments to change your body from the inside out. Bikram yoga is a process that can reduce the symptoms of many chronic diseases, and is an excellent preventive activity for parts of the body that are healthy. The class is designed for all levels, first time students and experienced practioners alike.
In time, you'll learn to focus your mind and control your breath, leading you to work harder, deeper and calmer. As you improve this relationship you will realize the true meaning of yoga: a union of the body, mind and spirit. Bikram yoga increases flexibility, improves circulation and reduces stress, to provide an infinite number of benefits

American Scientist is a bimonthly magazine, so we try to fill each issue with enough ideas and insights to keep you engaged for two full months. In the digital age, we're no longer limited by what we can print on paper, however. Our staff is therefore working to provide you with a rich multimedia experience as well.
At americanscientist.org you can find a wealth of podcasts, ranging from short audio interviews to full talks accompanied by PowerPoint slides, all of which showcase leadings scientists in their fields. Some recent examples include a talk with Sukanta Basu, a researcher in wind power, and Ron Alterovitz, who studies methods to teach robots movements and new tasks.
You'll also find some more visual presentations. Brian Hare, who studies the cognitive abilities of dogs, discusses his work in conjunction with a slideshow that illustrates some of his test subjects and techniques. A recent video features an in-depth discussion with Yi Lu about his work in DNA nanotechnology, moderated by me here at the magazine's editorial office, and includes images that further explain his work.
American Scientist has also embraced social media; you can follow us on Twitter and Facebook to keep current on the latest science news. And the value of social media goes both ways, as showcased in Tim K. Davies' article about using tourist images of whale sharks to track these ocean giants and to aid in their conservation. Robert J. Wood discusses the challenges of manufacturing at the millimeter scale, and has developed some ingenious fabrication methods inspired by origami and children's pop-up books. And Clare Dobbs looks at the ways that new computer simulations are expanding our understanding of how stars form. There will be additional multimedia material on our website to accompany these and other articles in the issue. A box in the Letters to the Editors section details some of the online features to watch for.
Once you're on the website, I hope you'll take some time to poke around and explore. A full catalog of American Scientist articles is available back to 1998. You never know what you might find in our archive—everything from classic features to eye-opening perspectives on today's research. We often highlight past articles that relate to current news on our Facebook page and Twitter feed, one more reason to follow those.
You don't have to wait until your next print edition of American Scientist to join us in exploring the ever-changing world of science. And you can also drop us a note anytime to let us know what you think. We are always looking for new ways to broaden our conversation, and we hope you'll join us in that endeavor. —Fenella Saunders

Electric Kiln Conversion To Propane

If you are currently firing electric to cone 10 and are not firing the kiln down (slowed, controlled cooling), then before I'd look at the impacts of adding reduction into the equation, I'd try the firing down idea. More of the effects that people assume are from reduction in big gas kilns are actullay from the effects of the larger thermal mass, the better insulation, and hence the slow cooling.
There are tons of considerations, but if you don't increase the insulation on that kiln shell....... you'll get the same fast cooling. And the kiln structure and load will have the same thermal mass as if it were electric fired.
The weed burners also are a bit problematic to use.
More info on your goals might be very helpful to allow people to comment accurately.

However, that may be all your budget wil allow, right now anyway. I have the M750 from Ward, and it really puts out the heat. If you could get the dual burner system , you will definitely be set, but I think that will be overkill, the guys from Ward will certainly be happy to advise you; Marc Ward himself helped me, and I'm a nobody.
Anyway, bore your holes for the burners, one in the lid for the flue, get lots of propane, and let it rip.
Try it. You will learn alot; it may not work on the first try, but make corrections and go from there.
Don't be dissuaded by those who say YOU CAN'T. (Not that anyone has said that, but you will find some, I bet.)
You can.

I've been given an old electric Skutt, 1 size smaller than the 1027. I'm interested in removing the elements and adding 2 weed burners for cone 10 reduction. I'm in need of advice on converting and firing. Thanks much, Dorie
Seems to me that a company makes the type of kiln you are talking about building with your conversion. I think Olympus did it- at least in the 90's. I'm not sure about now. I think you should try it out and see what happens. You may learn quite a bit from the experiment!

Museum parties
Cut loose at these venerable institutions after-hours.
Tue Feb 22 2011
Photograph: Adam Husted
Brooklyn Museum's Target First Saturdays
Target First Saturdays at The Brooklyn Museum
Sample a smorgasbord of culture at the Brooklyn Museum's monthly bash, which includes lectures, live music, dance performances and DJs. Each party takes inspiration from the exhibits on view or, on occasion, neighborhood events—expect one prompted by Crown Heights' annual West Indian--American Day Carnival in August. This month, the institution pays tribute to both the Fourth of July (the Freedom Party DJs spin an American-themed set) and its current show "Vishnu: Hinduism's Blue-Skinned Savior" (Indian diva Falu will perform). Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Pkwy between Flatbush and Washington Aves, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (718-638-5000, brooklynmuseum.org). Next event: Sat 2 5--11pm; free.
Eat here: Tom's Restaurant
This diner has low prices—few items top $10—to match its old-timey feel and menu, which includes comfort-food classics (meat loaf, chicken parm) and soda-jerk specialties like cherry-lime rickeys. 782 Washington Ave at Sterling Pl, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn (718-636-9738)
PopRally at MoMA and MoMA PS1
MoMA's five-year-old soiree is often pegged to something on display, and has welcomed such trendsetters as Patti Smith (to celebrate Georges Seurat's birthday) and Spike Jonze (who presented a selection of skate videos). Be on the lookout for an evening of video games, to complement the upcoming exhibit "Talk to Me" (opens July 24), which examines the communication between people and objects. Museum of Modern Art, 11 W 53rd St between Fifth and Sixth Aves (212-708-9400) * MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave at 46th Ave (718-784-2084) * moma.org/poprally * Next event July 27; visit website for details. $12--$20.
Eat here: Beacon
If the throwdown is in midtown, head to Beacon where virtually every item on the menu, from pizzas ($15--$19) to steaks ($29--$39), takes a pass through this eatery's huge wood-burning
oven at some point. Sample the fare by opting for the three-course prix-fixe menu ($38).
25 W 56th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves (212-332-0500, beaconnyc.com)
One Step Beyond at the American Museum of Natural History
Big-ticket artists (Kanye and Animal Collective are among the past performers) are the main draw for this otherworldly wingding, but the setting doesn't hurt—how cool is it to dance in a planetarium? Don't miss the museum's multimedia installations, such as the Big Bang Theater, a four-minute moviemaking journey to the edge of the visible universe, narrated by Liam Neeson. American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th St (212-769-5200, amnh.org/osb). Next event: Oct 14 at 9pm; $25.
Eat here: Recipe
Sample locally sourced, rustic dishes, such as the Hudson Valley foie gras terrine with black mission figs, apricots, cornichon and toast points ($12), at this New American joint. 452 Amsterdam Ave between 81st and 82nd Sts (212-501-7755, recipenyc.com)
First Fridays at the Bronx Museum of the Arts
The Bronx Museum's free program is perfect for culture hounds looking for an intimate gathering with top-notch performers—recent guests have included the Charlie Porter Jazz Quartet, pianist Valerie Capers and hip-hop pioneer DJ Ralph McDaniels. Up next, editor Marysol Nieves will chat with guest curators Wayne Northcross and Jose Ruiz about "Bronx Calling: The First AIM Biennial," a new exhibit that celebrates the work of more than 70 artists from BMA's Artist in the Marketplace program. Bronx Museum of the Arts, 1040 Grand Concourse at 165th St, Bronx (718-681-6000, bronxmuseum.org). Next event: July 8 6--8pm; free.
Eat here: Feeding Tree
Locals love this no-frills Jamaican spot for everything curried, jerked and juiced. The resto's cheap and filling menu includes entres like jerk chicken with bread for $6. 892 Gerard Ave between 161st and 162nd Sts, Bronx (718-293-5025)
Warm Up at MoMA PS1
One of longest-running (and most popular) museum-curated music series manages to remain fresh every year, due in no small part to its eclectic lineups; this year's series kicks off with a mishmash of genres, including DC disco purveyors Beautiful Swimmers and lo-fi rockers Delicate Steve. While you're there, gawk at the installation that will take over the space as part of the museum's Young Architects Program: Holding Pattern, which places objects like chessboards under a gigantic rope canopy covering the institution's courtyard. MoMA PS1, 22-25 Jackson Ave at 46th Ave, Long Island City, Queens (718-784-2084, momaps1.org). Next event: Sat 2 2--9pm; $15, free for MoMA members and LIC residents.
Eat here: Manducatis
Sample homemade pastas, including fresh cannelloni and ricotta gnocchi, at this laid-back Italian spot, whose owners were once featured in a photography exhibit at MoMA PS1. 13-27 Jackson Ave at 47th Ave, Long Island City, Queens (718-729-4602)

Driver runs into crowd outside bar
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - An argument outside a Colorado Springs bar ended with a driver plowing into a crowd of people, according to officials.
Colorado Springs police said it started with an disturbance between several men outside the Yukon Tavern on 500 block of South Circle Drive at about 2 a.m. Sunday.
Police said the men got in a dark colored Subaru and struck hit a pedestrian as they left the parking lot.
As a crowd surrounded the injured man, officials said a white late model Pontiac struck several people in the crowd.
Two people were taken to the hospital. Officials said one had minor injuries and the other with a broken leg.
Police said they are still investigating. No arrests have been made.

Don't you think if Romo or his center had their knee blown out on Sunday the next team that plays Schiano will think twice about kneeling on the ball?
The only thing he is doing now is covering his butt. If he let up after T.C. chewed him out on live TV he would look like the chump he really is. If his BS does in fact hurt someone, lets hope its someone from his OWN team.
There IS a hard counter to the "cause injuries" motive, that I expect opposing teams to start doing now that Schiano has doubled down on rushing the kneeldown.
It's quite simple really: let your backups do the victory formation. If we had to face TB again, I could see us sending out Carr, put Diehl, Cordle, and Brewer in the middle to protect, and flank him with Scott and Wilson. Maybe line up some D-line depth on the O-line as well. Keep Jernigan behind them in the backfield to recover the ball if necessary. If our starters aren't even on the field, they can't get injured.

Welcome to the forum!
If you haven't already done so, please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Forum Guidelines
New guy here. Been around guns" mostly hunting" my whole life.About a year ago i decided to add a few personal defense weapons to my collection so i traded my Ruger SuperRed Hawk .480 for two like new auto hand guns. One is a Ruger P90.45ACP and the other is a KelTec P3AT.380.
Up until now i just keep them in my home or might take the 380 with me on trips. But here recently i been thinking about getting my CCW license and actually having one with me at all times. So i joined up here. Figured i would look around and do some reading.Hopefully i can find some good info on carry loads and tactics for carrying a weapon.
Oh yeah,I'm located in Mississippi.

Really? This rickety and scratchy load of fuzz took 21 years to come up with? I'm joking, of course. But if you sat an unassuming, non-My Bloody Valentine-believer down in a chair and played them the great British noise pop shoegaze band's latest album, that's what the newbie would most likely think.
I had a flatmate once who couldn't stand My Bloody Valentine. "Turn that bloody bumblebee shit off," he would plead. Admittedly, he was more into the Eagles than noisy British indie bands but, as it turns out, he had perfectly described the sound MBV conjured up on the challenging and often-dissonant Tremolo EP from 1991 (incidentally, the best song on it also just happened to be called Honey Power).
The thing is, theirs really is the loveliest, most beautifully odd and singular sound. And this third album - and long-awaited follow-up to 1991 classic Loveless - is more than worth the wait.
It's no Loveless, however, or, for that matter, an Isn't Anything, the band's excellent debut from 1988. Because there is nothing even approaching the pure gutsy grunt of the latter album's best song, Feed Me With Your Kiss.
Although the deadened, industrial thud of instrumental Nothing Is comes close (and it's a little unnerving to think what that song would do to your head at a concert) and closing track Wonder 2 is the album's biggest brain-caver (like band leader Kevin Shields has been out at a drum 'n' bass gig and come home and decided to put his MBV spin on what he's just heard). It's brilliantly bonkers stuff.
But mostly, m b v is not about ear-splitting power - the majority of it retains their trademark seductive wooziness, layers of delicious distortion, and an otherworldliness that made Loveless so good. A song like New You is fluffy fuzz funk, as it pumps and lopes along with the hushed and cooing vocals of guitarist Bilinda Butcher sounding sweeter than ever, Is This And Yes is an unnerving mix of funereal and futuristic with its spectral beeps and synthesiser chords, and album highlight, In Another Way, works itself up into a ballistic din, but somehow manages to cast a head-nodding spell. And it's those sorts of conflicting sonic moods working harmoniously together that make My Bloody Valentine one of a kind.
The band - who reformed in 2007 after more than 10 years apart and are also made up of drummer Colm O Ciosoig and bassist Debbie Googe - start a series of concerts in Australia this weekend. Shame they're not following their contemporaries the Stone Roses' lead and calling in here. Best you grab your headphones, plug them in, turn it up, and have your own private My Bloody Valentine concert in your head, then.
Stars: 4/5
Verdict: First album in two decades. Worth the wait
- TimeOut


text: I'm not sure what its made of, as far as the specific grade of steel, but I personally see no issue with chrome plating it. As long as any/all serial #s etc are still intact/legible. Might think about something like Cerekote as well. Especially if they have it in a clear. Bake on ceramic coating thats tough as nails, and has very good wear resistance. The Cerekote would probably be thinner than chrome as well, which would keep it from screwing up the dimensions, and leaving you or Mr.Floyd with having to make adjustments. My 2 cents.

Warming house gets a valuable donation, teaches volunteers valuable skills
The warming house for Pine River's ice rink received a valuable source of free warm air Jan. 18.
The solar heating panel, installed by construction manager Jim Kestner, along with Jessica Aasand, Shannon Wheeler and Theo Westhues, was donated by the Rural Renewable Energy Alliance (RREAL). The panel, along with installation costs, is typically worth an estimated $3,000.
Kestner said this 26-square-foot panel is capable of producing 115,000 BTUs of heat per square foot from roughly October to April. That is 2,990,000 BTUs.
In addition, the installation served as a training experience for Aasand, Wheeler and Westhues, three AmeriCorps members receiving training in solar heating panel installation with RREAL this year. Westhues and Aasand have left the Pine River area for Ames, Iowa, and Grand Forks, N.D., respectively. Wheeler is stationed in Pine River until December.

KUBISCH, CHRISTINA: Twelve Signals
Exquisitely recorded on-site at an installation in the Matthauskirche, Berlin that used a set of bells found at the disused St. Inglebert mine and using as structuring material the signal codes that informed miners about the status of the mineshaft elevators. Structured bell tones and silences. At one point the church bells sound faintly outside at the same time. Strangely compelling. Complex tones. Nicely documented with colour photographs.

Mirror Pond neighbors weigh in on disputed project
Say they want Bend icon dredged, but willing to compromise
BEND, Ore. - Dredge out the silt, or pull out the century-old dam and let Mirror Pond return to a more natural-flowing Deschutes River? Those are two of the options Bend community members are being asked to consider.
And perhaps nobody has more on the line than the homeowners fronting Bend's icon.
"It's an icon to the city of Bend, and it needs to stay there," homeowner and Brooks Resources CEO Mike Hollern said at a meeting for Mirror Pond neighbors held at the Bend Park and Rec headquarters Wednesday evening, the third of three community-input meetings over the past couple of weeks.
"I'm very skeptical of the whole process," said another homeowner.
Others expressed concern that the largest landowner, Bend Parks and Rec, is leading the project.
"There's an inherent conflict of interest, because Bend Parks and Rec may have their own ideas on what they'd like to see done," said a man attending the meeting.
Silt is building up, turning parts of the pond into a mudflat when the water runs low. The last time it was dredged was in 1984.
Some neighbors said they would be willing to fork over some of the costs to dredge the pond.
"I think it's fair that we would pay, through a local improvement district with an assessment over a period of years, some portion of the cost," Hollern said.
While most neighbors want to see the pond dredged again, there is apparently fairly equal passion among those who say the dam should be removed.
The answer may lie somewhere in the middle
Project Manager Jim Figurski said it's likely the pond will neither be fully dredged or completely turned back into a free-flowing river.
"One, to dredge fully would be very costly," Figurski said. "And on the other end, this isn't the wild and scenic river, it's in the middle of an urban cityscape, and so it will never be a wild and scenic river again."
While some neighbors said they shudder at the thought of a swampy river clearing out their peaceful pond, they're open to some compromises.
"I think it could change quite a little bit. There are areas where big wide expansions could even be filled in," Hollern said.
For now, what will happen to Bend's icon and who will pay for it is still as murky as the very pond filling with silt.
If you want your voice to be heard, just head to the website mirrorpondbend.com .
You can fill out the questionnaire between now and the end of the month. Already, more than 1,300 people have taken the survey.
