text: [h=1]Used Full-Sized Pickup Sales Climb[/h] By: Restyling News Monday, May 20, 2013 Auction prices for full-sized pickups were up nearly 7 percent through the first four months of 2013, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Used Car Guide. "The recovery of home values and increased residential construction, stabilizing gasoline prices and a decline in late-model supply have resulted in higher trade-in values for full-sized pickups," said Jonathan Banks, executive automotive analyst for the NADA Used Car Guide. The average trade-in value for a three-year-old Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab LT 5.3-liter, two-wheel drive is up 8 percent from last year, according to the NADA Used Car Guide. The same trend can be seen across all brands of full-sized pickups, the association noted. Supply and demand is a key contributor to the higher values for used, full-sized pickups. The price of full-sized pickups has increased 28 percent from 2007 to 2012, and the supply of full-sized picks that are eight-years-old and older declined by 17 percent from 2007 to 2012. The association predicts the supply will decline an additional 8 percent on an annual basis in 2013. "The late-model, used supply of full-size pickups has yet to recover from the dramatic fall-off in new-vehicle sales caused by the economic recession," Banks said. He noted the continued slide in supply can be attributed to demand generated by a recovering housing market. New housing starts totaled 781,000 in 2012, and the National Association of Home Builders estimates that housing starts will jump to at least 1 million units in 2013. Home prices also are up 8.7 percent over the first two months of 2013, compared to the same period a year ago, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index. "The increase in home prices will continue to stoke demand for full-sized pickups, particularly those in configurations most frequently used in construction applications, such as lower-priced two-wheel drive, regular-cab trucks with V-6 engines," Banks said.

Maine is home to a nationally renowned locavore culinary scene, the oldest organic farming association in the nation (MOFGA), and a plenitude of farms that has increased by nearly 1000 in the past five years — and yet economic pressure to develop acreage remains. These are just a few of the facts heralded by Open Waters Theatre Arts founder Jennie Hahn, who is launching a year-long, community-based theater project to foster a civic conversation about local agriculture, farming, and the future of small family farms in Maine.
Of Farms and Fables, conceived by Hahn and developed with an advisory board over the last year, will bring together theater artists and farm workers to share in each other's work: Over 12 weeks starting in May, Open Waters will bring three artists to three Maine farms — Wm. H. Jordan Farm of Cape Elizabeth, Broadturn Farm of Scarborough, and Benson Farm of Gorham — for residencies that will engage artists in farm work and farm workers in acting and storytelling. The cultural exchange will culminate in the summer of 2011 with an outdoor performance by both theater artists and farm workers, which will draw its audience into a conversation about our land, agriculture and food, those so basic and so sublime elements of how we live.
Hahn, who has a drama degree from Vassar and trained in socially engaged theater with LA's Cornerstone Theater, has made civic dialogue and interdisciplinary arts the keystones of Open Waters' endeavors. Previous projects include a staging of Wallace Shawn's The Fever, a harrowing look at a typical American's complicity in the systemic horrors of our global economy, and its run included several panel discussions on poverty in Maine and a workshop with poet Marty Pottenger on "Enoughedness." Open Waters has also produced the installation art-cum-spoken word exploration of memory and place, called Living History; and a collaborative series of investigations into "success," via the Bertolt Brecht poem The Stone Fisherman. A project still in circulation is last summer's Choirspeak, which took its artists into the communities of Rumford, Belfast, Greenville, Millinocket, and Portland to talk to diverse people about the future of the Maine Woods.
For Open Waters' newest project, Hahn has assembled an impressive corps of supporters and consultants. The advisory board of Of Farms and Fables is made up of Stephanie Gilbert of the Maine Department of Agriculture, Penny Jordan of the Cape Elizabeth Farm Alliance, Cheryl Laz of the USM Department of Sociology, Rebecca Millett of the Cape Elizabeth School Board, and Tessy Seward of the activist theater group ROiL. Community partners supporting Of Farms and Fables include Cultivating Community, the Threshold to Maine Resource Conservation and Development Council, RoiL, and the Cape Farm Alliance. Open Waters was also recently awarded a one-year grant from the Ella Lyman Cabot Trust in support of the project.
Open Waters invites input and further support of many kinds from both community groups and individuals as the project begins its launch. At an informal informational soiree over hors d'oeuvres and drinks on Wednesday, January 20 at 6:30 pm in Cape Elizabeth, Hahn will talk about Of Farms and Fables, participating farmers will speak about their farms, and those who care about our local agriculture may commune. Those interested may RSVP to Hahn at 207.899.5208.

Atrovent HFA
(ipratropium bromide) HFA
The active ingredient in ATROVENT HFA is ipratropium bromide (as the monohydrate). It is an anticholinergic bronchodilator chemically described as 8azoniabicyclo[3.2.1]octane, 3-(3-hydroxy-1-oxo-2-phenylpropoxy)-8-methyl-8-(1-methylethyl)-,bromide monohydrate, (3-endo, 8-syn)-: a synthetic quaternary ammonium compound, chemically related to atropine. The structural formula for ipratropium bromide is:
C20H30BrNO3•H2O ipratropium bromide Mol. Wt. 430.4
Ipratropium bromide is a white to off-white crystalline substance, freely soluble in water and methanol, sparingly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in lipophilic solvents such as ether, chloroform, and fluorocarbons.
ATROVENT HFA is a pressurized metered-dose aerosol unit for oral inhalation that contains a solution of ipratropium bromide. The 200 inhalation unit has a net weight of 12.9 grams. After priming, each actuation of the inhaler delivers 21 mcg of ipratropium bromide from the valve in 56 mg of solution and delivers 17 mcg of ipratropium bromide from the mouthpiece. The actual amount of drug delivered to the lung may depend on patient factors, such as the coordination between the actuation of the device and inspiration through the delivery system. The excipients are HFA-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane) as propellant, sterile water, dehydrated alcohol, and anhydrous citric acid. This product does not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as propellants.
ATROVENT HFA should be primed before using for the first time by releasing 2 test sprays into the air away from the face. In cases where the inhaler has not been used for more than 3 days, prime the inhaler again by releasing 2 test sprays into the air away from the face.
What are the possible side effects of ipratropium inhalation (Atrovent HFA)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using ipratropium and call your doctor at once if you have a side effect such as:
- bronchospasm (wheezing, chest tightness, trouble breathing), especially after starting a new canister of this medicine;
- blurred vision, eye pain, or seeing halos around lights;
- pain or burning when you urinate;
- urinating less than usual or not at all; or
- worsening of your...

What are the precautions when taking ipratropium bromide inhalation aerosol (Atrovent HFA)?
Before using ipratropium, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it or tiotropium; or to atropine or other belladonna-type drugs; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: personal or family history of glaucoma (angle-closure type), difficulty urinating (for example, due to enlarged prostate).

Head trauma and sports in general
One of our Bmore Chix posted and interesting blog about the Players and their suit against the NFL.
As much as I hate to see them injured -these are grown men playing professional sports they know the risks.
I m more concerned with the injuries suffered by our children. Its news worthy today because of the NFL players. However, research and study of head trauma due to sports injuries has been ongoing for years. Its only recently that authorities have taken measures to make sure that players are protected and that some injuries are prevented.
I worry about the young children playing sports in areas where improper equipment or no equipment is available to them. How will the be protected and if they are injured who will they sue? Volunteer coaches?
NFL and players should step up and help to keep our children safe.

Re: Head trauma and sports in general
So glad to hear that Pop Warner, one of nations biggest youth football organizations has made significant changes to it's youth program to help in the prevention of concussions. among our young athletes.
Weight limits have been part of the program. Now they have reduced the length of time and the format of it's contact drills during practices. Some say the rules are too strict.
For those that say its not the same game as before~Thank goodness! We have seen what happened to players who wore leather helmets!
I think this is a good change! It has been reported that more head to head injuries occur in practice than in a game. A head injury can be devastating and have long term effects!
As a parent I'll do whatever I can to protect my children!

I have posted long sermons on being in your sewing journey LOL
to make a long story short we are all on a journey and we all had to start somewhere. we all have alot to learn and noone is concerned with your skills in the swaps but with getting something you made! My biggest thing is I think it is so cool to hold in my hand something my partner was holding in her/his hand not long ago!
I LOVE getting stuff someone made for me!!
We all are our own worst critics and we can pick our own stuff to pieces when it comes to flaws or mistakes.
besides how does anyone know that you didn't mean for it to come out that way? LOL
swaps are for having fun and NOT a quilt contest where the best one wins! We ALL win when we get a sweet pkg in the mail from the swap!!!!

Still, we have no answers for why all of this exists, we can explain mechanisms and the way things work very well. We know that lightning is caused by electrons and a differential charge between the earth and the sky, but why is that? We can say it isn't Zeus throwing a lightning bolt, but it doesn't explain the Hidden. Our finite knowledge will never be able to approach the infinite.
The full moon rose over the misty Hindu Kush as an owl called from a couple of trees away. Flying squirrels called from the deodar tree above me. Aside from the owl and the squirrels was silence, absolute silence, as the wind had completely disappeared too. My ears, naturally grasping for something, found my heartbeat and ringing in my ears. Elsewhere in the park were bears, leopards, Snow Leopards, and wolves.
Reaching this ridge hadn't been easy, as I had a backpack full of gear and food and the ascent climbed 4,700 vertical feet and it was Ramadan, so I wasn't supposed to eat or drink. After about 2,000 vertical feet, with many more to come, I broke my fast to avoid dehydration in the hot sun and ate some dried fruits to regain my energy.
Luckily, the Koran allows travelers to break their fasts, as well as sick people, young children, or pregnant women, for example. They must make up their fasts later or donate to a charity, however.
"I'm a 'second Muslim,'" another said, meaning that he didn't practice Ramadan and other things, perhaps he was just born into the Muslim world.
I also saw others cheating, sneaking into the back room (my room) to eat or pretending to wash their mouths with water but clearly retaining it.
Muslim lands, in a way, as a whole, are no different from any other place: some people in China are devout Communists, others not; some people in Rome are devout Catholics, others not. And many people are in between. Not everyone in the Christian world fasts, for example.
Three thousand vertical feet later, in the middle of a pine and cedar forest, I found another camp at the confluence of two streams. Here, I relaxed, looked for wildlife, and explored the canyons and forests and gullies. In one gulley, a stream had polished the white marble along the way. I followed the stream to its source and relaxed under a small oak tree.
I descended to Chitral town, where the din of humanity grew in my ears.

Movie Review: Midnight in Paris
Owen Wilson plays an American who longs to live in Paris and write a novel in Woody Allen's romantic comedy that also stars Rachel McAdams.
Director: Woody Allen Rating: PG-13 Studio: Gravier Productions
Woody Allen gets things beautifully right again in Midnight in Paris. Funny, touching, romantic, wistful, satiric and with just the right touch of fantasy and whimsy, the movie features Owen Wilson as a surprisingly effective Allen surrogate—a successful, discontent Hollywood screenwriter who wants to chuck it all to live in Paris and write a novel. On vacation in the City of Lights with his steely, superficial fiancée (Rachel McAdams), Wilson, a sad-eyed hayseed Cinderella by way of Malibu, deeply longs for Paris in the 1920s, the Lost Generation era of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Picasso, Dali and Bunuel; meanwhile, his thoroughly unpleasant fiancée spends time with her materialistic, uber-Republican parents (well played Mimi Kennedy by Kirk Fuller) and pompous, pseudo-intellectual pedant Michael Sheen.
His fantasies fulfilled thanks to magical coaches that grant his wish, Wilson, in The Purple Rose of Cairo style, gets to rub elbows with the talented, the extraordinary and the disappointing, paving the way for vivid, witty work from Kathy Bates, Tom Hiddleston, Corey Stoll and a hilarious, scene-stealing Adrien Brody. The showstopper, though, is the bewitching Marion Cottilard, who brings grace, melancholy and old-time movie star glam to her role as the muse and mistress of several writers and painters. Her scenes discussing sex, culture and painting with Wilson (who embarrassingly, considering the character he's playing, constantly mispronounces "picture" as "pitcher") are funny, ironic and sublime.
Beautifully photographed by Darius Khondji, Midnight in Paris, a fable that delivers pure pleasure, speaks not only to Allen's longstanding love affair with Paris but also to the pointless but irresistible allure of nostalgia.

We're doing an ARM64 OpenJDK port! Article at
We're doing an ARM64 OpenJDK port! Article at
I wrote an article: Shark, gcj, and HotSpot: A tale of three code generators. Article at http://www.advogato.org/article/1001.html
Boy, do I feel stupid. As soon as I posted my blog, people pointed out to me that NetBeans 6.0 Beta 2 supports IcedTea out of the box, so all my hackery with NetBeans 5.5 was pointless.
However, NetBeans 6.0 Beta 2 doesn't work for me. It just displays a blank screen. After a little while, I've found out why. I always run all my test programs as X clients on a remote mcahine, with the server running on my desktop machine. It turns out that if you start 6.0 Beta 2 on the same machine as the X server, it displays correctly.
I suppose that NetBeans must be doing some of the same weird stuff that we've seen elsewhere, and trying to bypass part of the X protocol somehow.
Download netbeans 5.5 from
OK, run the netbeans installer.
No Java Development Kit(JDK) was found on this system.
Oh dear.
zorro:~ $ java -version
java version "1.7.0"
IcedTea Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0-kojibuilder_27_sep_2007_14_56-b00)
IcedTea Server VM (build 11.0-b05, mixed mode)
OK, so it is there. Looks like the netbeans installer really doesn't like IcedTea.
Try with an old JDK 1.5 version.
Run the netbeans installer. Ah, that's much better!
Initializing InstallShield Wizard........
Launching InstallShield Wizard........
Right, so we have netbeans installed.
zorro:~ $ ./netbeans-5.5.1/bin/netbeans
That works fine. Okay, so let's try running that with IcedTea in --jdkhome rather than Java 1.5:
zorro:~ $ sh -x ./netbeans-5.5.1/bin/netbeans --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-220.127.116.11.x86_64
Alright! That seems to work perfectly. Let's try "Hello, World"

Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
Excuse me? What is *that* all about? I'm running on a Java 1.7 VM and compiling on a Java 1.7 VM, but the class file version is wrong. Bizarre.
Let's try that from the command line, so we can see what's going on:
zorro:src $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-126.96.36.199.x86_64/bin/javac javaapplication1/Main.java
zorro:src $ java javaapplication1.Main
Hello, world!
So, that works. Let's have a look at the class file version:
zorro:src $ jcf-dump javaapplication1/Main
Reading .class from ./javaapplication1/Main.class.
Magic number: 0xcafebabe, minor_version: 0, major_version: 50.
Hey, it looks like IcedTea's javac defaults to emitting .class files with the Java 1.6 major version. What happens with Java 1.7 and IcedTea's VM?
zorro:src $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-126.96.36.199.x86_64/bin/javac -source 1.7 javaapplication1/Main.java
zorro:src $ /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea-220.127.116.11.x86_64/bin/java javaapplication1/Main
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: javaapplication1/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
Ouch! So, although IcedTea is in theory Java 1.7 its VM will refuse to run .class files in the 1.7 format. Netbeans must be forcing Version 1.7.
OK, right-clock on Project/Properties, and there it is:
Source Level: 1.7
Change that to 1.6, Clean and Build Main Project:
Hello, world!
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)
Alright, so that works. IcedTea is now running netbeans.
As far as I can see everything works perfectly, except for some small font rendering issues. The only real problem is that the netbeans installer won't recognized IcedTea as a valid Java VM, so you have to have Java 1.5 (an unfree VM) installed somewhere to install. Once netbeans is installed you can delete Java 1.5.
We really need to fix this; you shouldn't have to install an unfree JDK to run netbeans on IcedTea.
OK, now I'll try the NetBeans 6.0 beta.

Well, DevJam was a blast.
The idea was to talk with Debian developers about packaging components written in the Java language, and I went along as gcj maintainer. I was a little worried that the Debians wouldn't like the packaging we do with gcj in Fedora, or that they'd want to do it entirely differently. I needn't have worried, however. They were very receptive to suggestions and seem in general to be a smart and enthusiastic bunch of people.
Friday began with mjw's thing. Summary: we're 90ish percent done, but it doesn't work. Or something like that...
I can't remember what else happened on Friday.
I kicked off the proceedings on Saturday by talking about gcj and how it works on GNU/Linux systems, with particular regard to the whole precompiled database thing. Then Jeroen van Wolffelaar spoke about Debian packaging and how it works, which was very useful for me. My impression -- which might of course be incorrect -- was that Debian packaging is nicer in some ways than RPM, worse in others, and just different enough to be totally incompatible. Sigh.
We agreed, I think, to concentrate on the packages at jpackage.org. This is easy for Fedora (jpackage and Fedora are RPM based distributions) but hard for Debian. I don't know if this is going to work, but I think it's worth a try.
I'm a little worried that Fedora and Debian might be duplicating effort, particularly with regard to sanitizing packages. This sanitization is necessary because we have to be very sure that there are no unfree packages shipped by mistake. Hopefully, where one distro has sanitized a package the other will be able to use that as a base.
gbenson talked for a little while about how the rebuild-gcj-db and aot-compile-rpm scripts work, so that they can easily be used in a Debian-based system. That should work well, I think.
DevJam itself was interesting. The idea is that people turn up with computers and lock themselves in a room with a ton of food for a couple of days, hacking and talking together. There's plenty of room for people to sleep. All rather like a Scout camp, but minus the healthy outdoor activity and the singing. As a weakling I didn't do the sleeping on the floor thing, instead staying in hotel in the centre of Oldenburg. (The Hermes: very good, 60 Euros per night. Next to the railway station. Recommended.)
One thing I really got from this is how lucky I am to work on free software full time -- the attendees at DevJam were smart and enthusiastic and quite inspiring. It was an opportunity to recharge my batteries.
So, I'm glad I went and I hope to meet the Debians again. Until then, we have plenty of things to be getting on with!

Just a fraction of the energy released by burning fossil fuels is transformed into mechanical or electricity energy with many of the energy released as heat and written down as a loss. Thermoelectric materials developed by an EU-funded project may provide the solution to this energy problem. Between one half and two thirds of the fossil fuels burnt to generate energy are dissipated as heat into the atmosphere. While it's long been understood that waste heat can be converted into power the performance of very early thermoelectric power generation systems was so low that it restricted their programs. Thermoelectric generators are essentially devices designed to convert temperature directly into electricity utilizing two materials and a heat gradient. The greater the heat difference between the 'hot' side and the 'cold' side the greater the energy that can be produced. Within the a project the focus was to design thermoelectric generators that could be mass produced for use in automotive waste heat data recovery. Especially, two little thermoelectric generators have been designed: one based on silicide materials and another on telluride materials. Silicide and lead telluride (Pb/Te) based materials had been synthesised and then processed using spark plasma sintering to produce thermo-electric materials with performance similar to that discovered in the literature. The thermoelectric products have been integrated with control and energy electronics. The most appropriate solution was selected for mounting onto a hot air testrig where the exhaust of a 2litre gas automobile was simulated to establish its overall performance. This, in addition to estimated manufacturing and offering costs, had been used to evaluate the new technology's commercial attractiveness. When completed the system will draw out waste heat from the exhaust that will deliver direct current electrical power to the car electric system and hence reduce the alternator need offering enhanced fuel effectiveness by as much as 5 %.

- headband — Dollar stores, Walmart, Target etc are great places to pick up inexpensive headbands. Look for plain ones, or ones with ribbons already attached (specifically open weave ribbons like the one in our photo).
- Kreinik 1/8" Ribbon in holographic colors. We used 001L Solar Silver.
- Large-eye needle
This headband came from a discount store with the green ribbon already attached. We simply threaded our needle with the 1/8" Ribbon, and tied one end into a knot. Starting at one end, work that knot into the backside of the green ribbon, bring your needle up to the top, and begin weaving it in and out of the suede ribbon. End by securing your thread and tucking the end under the green ribbon.
Want to color coordinate? Pick from the 16 new holographic Kreinik ribbon colors, or any of the 200+ other metallic ribbon colors from Kreinik. Just imagine: an embellished, embroidered headband to match any outfit or costume.
How Treasure Tape™ may help:
- Kreinik Treasure Tape (double-sided tape) is your best friend in many craft projects. Use it here to wrap extra ribbon on the ends to hide the pointed ends (raw edges) of your headband embellishment.
- If you buy a plain plastic headband and embroider a strip of ribbon or fabric, the easiest way to secure that embellished fabric to the headband is with Treasure Tape. Buy 1/4" or 1/2" tape to match the thickness of your headband.

Lee County doctors concerned over possible hospital closure
LEE COUNTY, Va. - In May, Wellmont Health System and Lee Regional Medical Center said they were exploring options to change the way they provide patient care.
Several doctors told News 5 Lee Regional has reduced the number of beds. One doctor said the doors are closing at the end of September.
When those possible changes were announced, interim hospital president Fred Pelle emphasized that the hospital would stay open. Lee Regional Medical Center has stayed open with the help of some doctors who run a practice by the hospital and call Lee county home.
"We volunteered to do coverage for three months , [providing] they would get us some help, " said Dr. Abdul-Latief Almatari. "Unfortunately, that didn't happen. We're told at the end of this month, there won't be a hospital any more."
Wellmont provided a statement regarding Lee Regional Medical Center to News 5:
"Wellmont Health System is considering all options pertaining to Lee Regional Medical Center. As we have shared previously, the hospital is dealing with a host of challenges including payment reform impacts, very low volumes and physician coverage issues. These deliberations are obviously very important to the hospital and the community. When decisions are made, Wellmont will clearly communicate them."
We talked to concerned people in Lee county and found the uncertainty has doctors, patients and even Sheriff Gary Parsons worried.
"My big concern is that people are going to die because this hospital is not here and they wont be able to reach the services they need in a timely manner," said Parsons.
Lee Regional Medical Center is the only option for many people in the area. The other facility is Lonesome Pine Hospital in Big Stone Gap in Wise County.
Dr. Scott Litton, who has lived in Lee County his entire life tells News 5 the trip to another county and hospital could mean the difference between life and death.
"If you take away that initial stabilization treatment that they could receive in an area closer to where they could live then that greatly impacts their quality of life and their ultimate chance of survival," said Dr. Litton.
Judy Musick, of Stone Creek, said her family needs a hospital close by.
[I've] got a son with a brain tumor. My husband has had heart surgery, he's on his second defibrilator. I've had a stroke. It just scares me to death . I don't know what people are supposed to do down here," said Musick.
Lee county resident Lana Napier said there are money concerns too.
"Nobody wants to travel several miles to go to another place. We don't have the money for that. We're a poor place and we want our hospital," said Napier.
The doctors who have helped keep the doors open at Lee Regional Medical Center don't want any changes.
"I would hope that we can come to some agreement to try and get this settled so we can provide care in the area," said Dr. Jill Couch.
"It doesn't matter to me who runs the hospital, we just need a hospital to provide care for the people in our community,"said Litton.
The doctors we spoke to say they will continue to practice with or without Lee Regional Medical Center open, and want to reassure patients the standard of care will not change.
Wellmont Health System has not set a timetable for making a decision regarding the future of Lee Regional Medical Center.

This is day 3 after the graft. So far so good that they are filling up the
cells with more royal jelly everyday. Hopefully in 2-3 days they will cap
these queen cells. Again I put in more cells than I have enough mating nucs
for them. Can you see the royal jelly all the way to the top?
I wonder if they have enough RJ in there to make a big queen?
What else can I do more to improve on this process?

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Help Needed; JMT FP trek synopsis & 2012 gear
Feb 12, 2012 at 7:25 pm #1285598
Greetings all; sorry for the long winded entry… but, I would appreciate your input.
I have worked for the last two years to make a transition from traditional backpacking to a "lighter" backpacker mode. This has been a physical, educational and in some cases, a behavior-changing experience. When I went over Forester Pass in 2009 (JMT), I had a 40-pound pack on my back. In 2010, I went over Forester with a 27-pounder (Onion Valley to Portal / 43m/1.5 days). Last year, among other overnight treks, I went from Happy Isles to Mono Pass junction (86m) in three days with a 23-pounder. In 2012, my pack is about 21.5 pounds.
During that last long-range fastpack in 2011, I found that traveling light required discipline I did not (yet) have. For example, I found I did not operate well while being wet for an extended period of time; it rained and hailed a lot that week in the Sierra. I did not enjoy the trek under those conditions because I could not improve my situation without the benefit of the sun; or, spare (dry) stuff. I learned that if one is going to enjoy the profit of traveling light, one better be able to live with whatever nature offers at the time.
Also, although I woke up in the mornings anxious to go and maintained a good pace for most of the day (I don't like hiking in darkness), my insistence in meeting the planned distance for the day made me crash on day one and two; leg-pain, impatient/moody, could not "down" the required food amount and water, did not carry out self maintenance chores, desperation feeling and absolute exhaustion – I just set up the tent and went to sleep – or tried to.
Being a type-2 diabetic has disadvantages, and consistently keeping up with the right nutrition is a must. I believed this crashing happened because I over exerted myself with the mileage/speed and because I was not "one" with my nutritional requirements; the calorie output and fat burning rate situation was more than I was prepared to handle. (I subsequently found out I was burning between 7-8,000 calories a day while taking in less than 2,000; NUTS!!)
Since then, I learned that, even when I think I'm going strong, not taking scheduled soft and hard breaks will tax my strength little by little. Not fueling my body on time and/or enough will come back to haunt me toward the end of the day… And, once the body starts going "down", no amount of breaks and food will help it recover in an expeditious manner; except, setting up and calling it a day. I learned that once you crash, it will take the body between 24-36 hours to fully recover (depending on age and/or athletic condition); so, a "zero" day following a crash is a must. The body will start recovery as soon as it is well fed and rested. I learned not to go out the day after a crash or I will have a miserable hiking experience!! I now maintain a militaristic break schedule that has proven to help me end the day much stronger. I learned to keep fastpacking on the fun side by being able to identify my pre-crash condition; usually near mile 25.
I have picked up plenty of my fastpacking know-how right here in BPL thanks to the candidness of its members. If you have time to check my 2012 gear list (mainly for JMT mid-September), I would appreciate any advice you could render; especially from any medically inclined member with diabetic sports nutrition or personal experience. I included every darn thing I carry. I am planning a "three stepper" style trek; where I take a "zero" day every three days of hiking. I am still working on a more efficient nutritional tactic.
Thanks and Happy Trails!Feb 12, 2012 at 7:40 pm #1838637

@b-g-2-2Locale: Silicon Valley
You just need to get back onto the Whitney Trail.
All of the endurance athletes that I know have one trait in common. They have the ability to do their sport and eat at the same time. In other words, they take breaks while still on the run. They may slow down a little while they snack, but they keep moving and they keep digesting their food on the run. Now, I guess some people can do that, and other people can't. Once they get so tuned into their own abilities, they simply know when they need to snack somewhat before they crash, and they carry an assortment of snacks so that they can boost fast or boost slow, just depending on what they feel.
Too often, some of us push until we are crashing. Then we become too tired to eat. We have to stay ahead of the game.

Hey BG how are you!
Tks for the advice. I have some short range hikes coming up and will train right from the get-go. I tried eating on the go in 2011. It worked initially and then I got lazy in the PM. But it's like you say; you have to make it part of you in order to make it work. When you saw me in 2010, I was FP 40s and 50s. Last year I increased the distances and everything changed. I think I'm going to find a stable Sierra mileage plato and stick with it for good. I'll see you out there!

Hi Jorge,
"impatient/moody, could not "down" the required food amount and water, did not carry out self maintenance chores, desperation feeling and absolute exhaustion – I just set up the tent
and went to sleep – or tried to. "
> you nailed it man, that's from not eating, also from altitude. Not feeling like eating is a VERY common thing when combined with altitude and rigorous excercise you're not used to. BG nailed it too when he said eat on the trail while hiking. You didn't do well with this last time you said, so adapt. Take snacks you WANT to eat (for me I LOVED big sur bars, hated candy bars, loved nutella, loved tortillas, did okay with trail mix, hated sugary dried pineapple. Next time I plan to include Fritos as a staple. I think you ought to take what you WANT to eat, even if it's junk. We want calories over most everything for short thru-hikes. You may also try protein based drinks, look into something like Hammer Heed. I have little experience with it (day hikes), but plan to use it this year to increase my calories, especially during the beginning days. I'm also bringing olive oil to mix into dinners.
I didn't feel like eating either days 1-3. I was choking down food, force feeding myself, and kind of wanted to vomit. I lost about 8 pounds, eating 3.5k calories a day or abouts.
Platypus – swap to a gatoraide bottle, the wide mouth kind, for one (or both) of your bottles. They're like 1.5 ounces. Save 3 ounces each (and they're nicer to drink out of).
Etrex GPS w/ batts – 4.75 oz Maps are likely lighter here.
1st Aid kit – 7.5 oz . I have no idea what's in it because you don't list it, but ditch any packaging it comes in in trade for a zip-lock quart freezer bag. I cut mine down to about 1-2 ounces. I brought basic things I figured I could actually field-use. Splint? Ditch it and nab a stick. 4 packs of gauze? t-shirt/sock. Exactly equivalent? No. Worth the trade? Yes. Life saving ability NOT hampered? True. Stuff because you're a diabetic and I have ZERO idea what's involved in that? Keep em =)
Car keys – 2 oz. Just bring one, leave the clicker in the car.
I-phone – 7.125 oz . I think "why", but to each their own.
Thermarest stuff sack – 2.25 oz nix. you don't need it.
Mont-Bell ….. & bag – why the bag? nix.
• Julbo (spare) sun glasses – 1.275 oz . nix, bring super glue and tape instead, more versatile.
3- Quick Find; personal locator beacon – 5.625 oz . personal, but I'd nix personally.
1- Repel;lemon eucalyptus mosquito repellant – 4.625 oz. Man I tried Deet 30 and got EATEN ALIVE. I swapped to DEET 90. this is personal though. Still 4.6 oz is a LOT of fluid here.
2- Vaseline; petroleum jelly (chaffing, 1st Aid) – 2.5 oz
3- Body Glide; anti pain rub stick (part of 1st aid kit) – 1.225 oz
^ don't those two things do the same thing?
Blister Shield; foot powder – 2.875 oz
2.87 can't come from the powder alone, nix the tin it comes in and use a smaller plastic pill case or a double bagged ziplock
Toiletries – 4.375 oz
nix, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwmwxkD86Ec
Food – 92 oz (2,761 cal/per day / 3-day supply)
I find this light. I burned through about 3750 cal/day and lost 8lb, though I did really big days (12 days for the total trail), and weigh 220lb.
Mini shovel – 2 oz
poo-poo-shovel? I love having one compared to trying to dig with a stupid tent stake.
All in all good list, just some things I consider extra but might be something that makes you enjoy your trip more and to each their own.Apr 13, 2012 at 4:19 pm #1867011
Thanx Michael!!
Wow! Good advice! Thanx for reading my long winded entry and taking the time to help me out. I will definetly jump on most of the points you helped with. Yes there are some that are kinda close to me… like that vaseline/pain rubber combo. Vaseline seems to work on anything I use it for. I will ditch the container and bring half the ammount thou. The phone? Got me a lighter one. Yeah most everything you said is cool w me. The GPS is gone. The BPL, my wife wont let me go without it now… I should have not told her about last year. Too light on food ah? Wow. Yup, I will be eating good this time around; trust me. Most folks tell me that's where I messed up; I starved myself and then asked the body to perform ten times the usual work.
I got me a permit from Happy Isles to MW for August 30/2012. I plan on making my trip more pleasant by cutting down on distance; and, by recognizing when to stop. I will not have a "set" mileage because that will make me tunnel-focused on meeting the distance and not having fun. In other words, I don't want my JMT trek to be "230 miles long and 24 inches wide".
Thank you again for your support. I'll post a report and pictures when I return from the trek…

As a marathoner and triathlete, eating while active, through aerobitic and strenuous movement, is indeed essential to racing well and completing the tasks at hand. To that end, I still advocate a trip to an endurance sports store to get acquainted with different nutritional products that are engineered to get into the blood stream quickly and provide the needed type of fuel for highly aerobic, sustained efforts and then to recover quickly after. They are worth the price when you see how many "junk" calories in the typical BP diet can be replaced.
I see many thru-hikers using candy and junk just to get calories with little attention to the type of calories they are getting. I find a good mix of nutritious food I want to eat with an appropriate sports drink mix keeps me moving strongly in BPing as well.

It really does make a big difference where the calories come from. The source strongly affects how you feel about getting them into your stomach and then how they sit with you.
I have been sucking off a baby bottle with Perpetuem (thanks Brett M.!). That's almost entirely maltodextrin and protein. Sipping every half mile or so, I have kept a clean high energy level without the slightest hunger or unease.
Check out Hammer Nutrition, try it out, then make your own to save $$$.

JD, Your list looks pretty good. I have a couple of suggestions, some have already have been mentioned here.
Bear Bell, is it for you or to alert you at night if a bear is messing with your bear can? Either way, it's not needed.
It looks like you listed two pair of gloves, you could get away with one.
The splint can be replaced with tree limbs in an emergency.
If you are doing off-trail hiking maybe bring a beacon, but if you are staying on the JMT, it is something I would leave behind.
I don't know if you like the taste or not, but Perpetuem powder has a lot of calories and carbs to keep you going. There is some good info on Hammers website on proper nutrition while doing endurance sports.
You can probably get away with with one long sleeve Go-Lite or Patagonia style shirt.
Have a great JMT trip this summer! It doesn't look like we will be out at the same time.

No one ever walked out of an open house thinking, "Nice place, but too many closets." On the other hand, a good staging job can disguise that a home has precious little storage.
This is where it pays to use your X-ray eyes. Visually strip away the furniture in a for-sale home and place your furniture and belongings. Or simply measure both the rooms and the closets, and compare it to what you have now, says Eric Tyson, author of "Home Buying for Dummies."
Ditto for kitchen cupboards, pantries and counter space, says Michael Corbett, author of "Before You Buy." Those countertops may look spacious until you get out all of your kitchen toys and discover there's not enough room, he says. Really look at a kitchen in terms of what you need when you cook to make sure the home offers the counter space you need.

You're only 15 miles from work. How long is that in traffic time? That daily commute factor is "a really big one that a surprising number of people don't properly research before they commit to a house," Tyson says. He advises trying the commute a few times, driving both ways, before you buy.
"If you wait until you move, it's kind of too late," Tyson says. "You're stuck with the house at that point." Instead, "do the actual commute during the actual time of day -- to and from -- that you'd be doing," he says. And talk to people with similar commutes. You may discover that it ebbs and flows at various times of the year.
Some buyers shop for homes where "commute" doesn't automatically mean "car," says Ron Phipps, immediate past president of the National Association of Realtors and principal broker with Phipps Realty in Warwick, R.I.
"We're seeing a lot more urbanization and a lot more people moving toward public transportation links," he says. One college professor wanted a home that was a comfortable walking distance from campus, he adds. "Five years ago, that wouldn't have been a priority."

It could be the Saturday night party house, the guy who believes Sundays were made for leaf blowing or the kid who practices the tuba 24/7. Every neighborhood has its eccentrics, and you need to know if you can live with them.
One of the best ways to find out what's going on in the neighborhood is to chat up the neighbors, Corbett says. "You must find out if there are any existing neighborhood problems."
From the minor issues (such as one neighbor's casual mechanic "shop") to the major (a string of crimes in the area), you want to know the concerns of the people who live there. "It's really about asking questions upfront," Corbett says. Ask the seller, and do your own research, too.
One smart move is to visit during morning rush hour, afternoon and evening rush hour, adds Corbett.
One prospective buyer who planned to work from home even toured a home with a phone app that measures ambient noise, Phipps says. The place was quiet, "so it wasn't a problem," he says.
Most people flip lights and faucets on and off when they tour a home just to make sure they get the expected result.
But that's hardly the test of whether the water pipes or electric wiring will meet your needs, Corbett says. You'll need to determine if the plumbing and wiring can accommodate your lifestyle.
Flipping a bedroom light on and off doesn't compare to a busy morning with two blow-dryers and an electric shaver running while the microwave heats breakfast, the air conditioning clicks on and the TV blasts the traffic report.
And if you are showering while someone does laundry and a third person flushes the toilet, will you feel a drop in pressure or a blast of cold water? With water, you can run a few things at one time and see how the home handles the pressure, Corbett says.
As for the electrical systems, you might want to talk to your home inspector, he says. Just explain that there are X number of people in the family who may use electricity simultaneously and ask if it will hold up, Corbett says.

It's a great home for you, but does it fit your car? Tyson remembers one home he owned came with street parking. It was great, but simple errands such as a trip to the market required a little more planning and a few extra steps. "In retrospect, we wouldn't have done it differently," he says. "But you have to make sure you understand the ramifications of not having a garage in the city."
Likewise, Corbett has seen buyers in condos or town houses realize they don't have a space usable for their car. Especially if the designated spot is against a wall or post, he says.
Some neighborhoods have rules about parking in the driveway or on the street. So if you have a preference or other plans for your new garage, it's smart to check any covenants before buying.
Photo: Flickr/The Tire Zoo
Privacy is a factor that some buyers overlook until it's too late. "If you're in the bathroom, are you staring into your neighbor's shower?" says Corbett. "You really have to be smart. Try to spend some time in the house." The goal is to get the feeling of what it's like to really live in the house before you actually buy it, he says.
Do a quick test run and think about the home and what you plan to do there. Then take an hour and "walk through your experience of how you live in the house in a day," he says. You should ask yourself if the home suits both you and the way you plan to live.
"I think the biggest mistake that people make is they have to see not only do they fit," says Corbett, "but does their lifestyle fit?"

The Fulbright Program, the U.S. government's flagship program in international educational exchange, was proposed to the U.S. Congress in 1945 by then freshman Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas.
Fulbright grants are made to U.S. citizens and nationals of other countries for a variety of educational activities including university lecturing, advanced research, graduate study, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools.
Since the program's inception, more than 250,000 participants -- chosen for their leadership potential -- have had the opportunity to observe each other's political, economic and cultural institutions.
CIES manages the Fulbright Scholarship Program on behalf of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

FLORIDA KEYS -- Home prices were up throughout the islands during 2012, and the Middle and Upper Keys also experienced an increase in sales.
Last year's Keyswide median home price rose 4 percent to $335,000, while the average price jumped 7 percent to $451,000, according to Multiple Listing Service data compiled by Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate.
The median price -- the number at which half of the residences cost more and half cost less -- took its largest leap in the Lower Keys, jumping 10 percent in 2012. The increase was 5 percent in the Upper Keys and 3 percent in the Middle Keys.
MLS data does not capture homes listed by owners, nor does it include homes sold inside the gates of the Ocean Reef Club in North Key Largo.
The annualized price increase in the Upper Keys was the first significant rise since the housing market began its major retreat in 2007, according to statistics posted on the website of Key Largo Realtor Glenn Hoover.
William Hardin, director of Florida International University's Hollo School of Real Estate, attributed the price increases to three factors: the growing economy, low interest rates and the fact that the stock market is near a five-year high.
That final factor is especially important for many of the second-home buyers that make up a major part of the Keys market.
"The top 5 or 10 percent, their decisions to consume and buy leisure are determined by what their wealth is, because in many cases their wealth exceeds their income," Hardin said.
While prices made their greatest strides since the crash, Keyswide residential closings bumped upward as well, increasing 5 percent to 1,811. The Middle Keys saw the largest increase, with 17 percent more sales than last year. The Lower Keys, on the other hand, saw a 10 percent drop in residential closings. The Upper Keys saw a 2 percent increase, the smallest since the number of sales begin rising in 2009.
Nevertheless, Russ Post, owner of Ocean Sotheby's in Islamorada and Ocean Reef, is bullish about the future.
"Even though people, Democrats and Republicans, aren't happy with what's going on in Washington, they've decided that this is the way it is, so they're not going to postpone a quality-of-life issue any longer," he said. "Also, I think people are more comfortable having a greater portion of their capital in assets, because they anticipate at some point we're going to have inflation."
In the Middle and Upper Keys, the final quarter of 2012 brought a strong increase in closings, supporting Post's optimism. From Duck Key through Key Largo, there were 148 closings between October and December, according to Realty World Freewheeler, 28 percent more than last year.
The fourth quarter increase in Islamorada and Key Largo closings came mainly from open-water homes, where 19 sold compared with nine in 2011, and from dry-lot homes, where closings increased from 30 to 39, according to data prepared by Tracy Larson of Century 21 Schwartz Realty.
Canalfront sales also increased slightly during the last three months of 2012, but condo sales plunged to 23 from 35 in 2011. Average prices, nevertheless, rose across all sectors of the market.
Distressed homes continued to be a major player in the Upper Keys market last year, accounting for more than 28 percent of sales, according to Hoover. But that's still a significant improvement from 2011, when foreclosure and short sales made up 39 percent of closings.
FIU's Hardin said he expects Keys real estate prices to continue a steady rise in 2013, perhaps increasing by 5 or 6 percent.
Hoover too said signs are pointing toward stability in the local housing market, noting that the amount of time homes took to sell got shorter in 2012. But he also injected a sober note into his analysis.
"How the sputtering global economy and erratic financial markets affects this stabilization remains to be seen," Hoover wrote.

Commonway Institute for Societal Transformation
Creating a World That Works for All
Our Vision of a World for ALL
Commonway Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of a society that is in line with our deepest spiritual values – a global society that includes all peoples.
Recognizing that we will not solve humanity's global problems with the same attitudes, philosophies and consciousness that created the problems in the first place, Commonway teaches people how to shape a world that works for all.
The core of Commonway's work is inclusivity, the concept that all of our lives are inextricably linked, one to the other.
None of the challenges of the 21st Century can be solved in isolation. It is narrow focus and myopic thinking that created the problems in the first place. What we need is a search for solutions based on inclusivity, solutions that extend across relationships.
Commonway provides a positive understanding of human interactions and change, leading to creative, effective solutions for our turbulent times.
Together, we can survive and thrive in these times.

Starting Position: Begin in an all-fours position with your torso on the ball and hands and feet on the floor. Lengthen your legs and stretch your heels to the back of the room. Your hands should be under your shoulders.Take a few deep breaths. Notice how your abdominals want to rest on the ball when you inhale.Exhale and pull your abdominals away from the ball. Try to keep them pulled away even when you inhale. This is your abdominal engagement. Try to maintain this engagement throughout the exercise.
Upward Phase: Gently exhale. With your abdominals engaged, slowly walk yourself forward until your hips lie directly over the top of the ball. With your feet together, lift your legs off the floor until they are in line with your torso. In this position, your body weight is distributed over the ball and supported by both hands placed on the floor. Press and hold your legs together so they move at the same time.
Lowering Phase: Inhale. Keeping your legs pressed together, and slowly lower both legs back to the floor. Knees should be straight throughout the movement.
Do not bring your legs above parallel with the torso. This will cause your low back to arch.

Karate has always been a big part of my life, and I became interested in it from a very young age. I began Japan Karate-Do Ryobu-Kai when I was in 4th grade and have loved it ever since.
I came into karate thinking that we would be chopping blocks and yelling kiais, but I have found that this sport is so much more than that. I am now a nidan level black belt and believe that this sport has played a big part in who I am today. Karate has taught me to be disciplined, focused, and to show lots of confidence no matter where I am. I also saw the example of my senseis at Woodside, who not only devoted so much of their time to teaching us, but regularly practiced themselves, always working to improve.
Now as a sempai I am able to teach others and learn new skills from a teaching point of view. I have gone through struggles as well as successes as I have progressed through the different belts, each time learning a new skill. With these essential skills, I was able to apply for a competitive med-school program at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Part of the application process included ten interviews at ten minutes each and I can say that the experience of preparing and testing for the each belt level really helped me.
I am now currently enrolled in a 6-yr combined BA/MD medical program with UMKC and believe that without karate I would not have been able to be as confident or as disciplined in my studies in school.

The fact that Motorcycle journalists coined a generic term – Universal Japanese Motorcycle – to describe late 1960s-1970s Japanese bikes from several manufacturers over several years implies a pretty unassuming aesthetic. But the writers weren't making fun or collectively branding them as having bland design. Instead, they were merely pointing out how similar each of the bikes look to one another thanks to several copy cat product entries released in quick succession from the likes of Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha.

text: To start, I am new to beekeeping. I was fortunate enough to get my first hive by capturing a swarm in my neighbors yard this spring. They were doing fantastic until about 3 months ago when i went to move them to a new location and they were extremely aggressive. I have never once seen this behavior with this hive and usually went out to inspect them with just a tshirt and no veil. Well, after I suited up and moved them, they then attacked my family and dog. I thought maybe they were africanized but they just werent that aggressive. I was told by a beekeeper I should split the hive and kill the queen and let them make a new one and it will restore the gentleness in the bees. So i did exactly that, i split the hive and smashed the old queen. both hives have made queens now and the original is even more aggressive. the new hive is gentle but i havent seen any eggs in the comb and its been almost a month. has she not been mated yet? or is she defective at this point?


text: I see that my post was deleted. I made every effort to be respectful and give Naps their props for always being good up until this point. Long story short, they sent me the wrong product. They re-shipped, but it was the exact same product they had sent incorrectly the first time. Same expiration date, same lot #. I have sent pictures confirming this. At this point they are refusing to deal with me.

OK, here's the problem.
I started 2 hives this spring. I had a super on one hive, and there was quite a bit of bur comb on it, mostly capped.
Fine. I cleaned up the bur comb over a large bowl, catching about three cups of honey. (Starter strips will NOT work for this hive!
Trouble is, what LOOKED like empty bur comb actually had quite a bit of nectar in it, and I took off a nice, long strip of it before I saw it. It was VERY pale, while the capped honey was not.
So, I now have a good-sized bowl of honey that is not condensed enough. Can this be fixed, or should I just take out enough to last us a couple of weeks and feed the rest back to the bees? Perhaps take out a cup at a time and freeze the rest? It has a very nice, rich complex flavor. I could easily use it for the household.....if only it does not spoil!
