While I wasn't able to get to the theatre last Friday for the opening Green Lantern, starring Ryan Reynolds, I was able to make time to see it today with my brother. Despite the negative reviews, I was surprised at how well-done it was, and how much I enjoyed watching it. After watching such a film, I always find myself wondering why a person like myself enjoys it while critics wouldn't. It's understandable that we all have different tastes and that not everyone will enjoy what I enjoy, but sometimes it goes beyond these simple differences into something more.
IGN's review of the film was so off-base that one has to ask themselves whether or not the reviewer watched the same movie or watched the movie at all. It is so inconsistent with what I saw that is was obvious that this review was a hit piece. Simply put, they went in looking for problems and made up, if not downright lied, about what was in the movie. It's obvious that the review is a deeply obsessed Marvel fanatic who's unable to accept that not only was Green Lantern a good movie, but an enjoyable one.
In order to understand this, let's breakdown IGN's gripes with the film. Beware though as this review does contain spoilers.
The Corps Are Wasted – All GL's script does is show Sinestro as someone whom the Corps look up to and respect, someone who can galvanize them. And during this, not once is Sinestro portrayed as someone with ulterior motives or a villainous agenda. It's as if the movie let a big chunk of his turn to the dark side happen off-screen, but it would have been a better a movie had we seen parts of it.
How cool would it have been to see Sinestro, someone the Corps looks up to with great regard, get upstaged by this "unworthy" human, and then turn his back on the Guardians and all he has served because A) Parallax is the Guardians' fault and B) why do we need Sinestro when we have Hal Jordan?
Sinestro wants to destroy fear with fear, and pushes for a yellow ring to be forged. And that's his only motive in the movie for doing so – to fight the good fight. Therefore, the direction Sinestro takes at the end is unwarranted and not set up. The end credits scene is a wasted and unmotivated coda that only exists to provide the thinnest of springboards for a sequel.
Aside from poor grammar ('is' not 'are' as the Corps is a single entity), this is utter nonsense. When Hal Jordan arrives at Oa, the audience is treated to a very highly detailed planet, as well as the thousands of different GL Corps members who inhabit it. Though the audience is only introduced to three Corps members (Tomar Re, Kilowag and Sinestro), you are left feeling that there are many of colourful and well-defined characters within this fighting force.
As for the Corps not doing much, where should I start? With the fact that the Guardians planned to abandon Earth to its fate? That Sinestro lead a squad of GLs against Parallax that was wiped out? It's part of the plot that Hal would have to deal with this on his own, as GLs usually do. Once again, you get the feeling that this reviewer was either watching a different movie or hadn't picked up a GL comic for the last decade or so.
Parallax – Giant Diarrhea Space Cloud? – When it comes to depicting the more outlandish comic book villains in live-action ,sometimes less is more. As much as fans may have complained about Galactus' portrayal in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, it's hard to argue that a giant man in a purple hat was a better and more convincing approach than a vague monster shrouded in space dust.
That lesson wasn't applied to Parallax. This living embodiment of fear was very "in your face" in the climax of the movie. But somehow the creature's mystique was lost in translation. Rather than the glowing yellow monster of the comics, Parallax was a floating diarrhea cloud. How can you be afraid of something when its very appearance makes you stifle a laugh? To add insult to injury, the writers combined the characters Parallax and Krona into one villain, thereby robbing future sequels of a potentially awesome conflict.
Frankly, Parallax is at his best when he possesses characters and warps their appearance and personality. What you can't see is always more frightening than what you can. As with Galactus, that sort of less is more approach should have been adopted.
Parallax isn't a "giant diarrhea space cloud," and if this reviewer had been paying attention, he/she would have been honest about it. While the story behind Parallax differs from the source material, it was a welcomed change. In the movie, Parallax is a possessed Guardian who's powers increase with each victim. This power is shown to the audience as a massive debris field that appears more like an octopus than fecal matter. Just as a tornado picks up debris, as Parallax destroys worlds and murders its citizens, not only does its power increase, but so does this debris field. It's believable that something comparable to a force of nature would take such a shape, so what's the issue? If Parallax's shape was such a sticking point, why wasn't IGN upset about how Galactus was portrayed in the second Fantastic Four movie? They were nearly identical, but I guess only Marvel is allowed "giant diarrhea space clouds" eh?
Sinestro Doesn't Do Much – The complicated relationship between Hal Jordan and Sinestro is one of the driving forces of the GL comics. Sinestro began as Hal's mentor and the most respected member of the Corps, but his willingness to control others through fear led to his downfall and the two former friends became bitter enemies. These days, Sinestro is the leader of his own Lantern Corps – one fueled by the yellow-colored power of fear.
The film series seems to want to follow that path. The problem is that GL glossed over much of Sinestro's story. By the time he claims the yellow ring during the end credits, viewers have had very little indication Sinestro has been corrupted by fear. If anything, it seemed as though Hal had convinced Sinestro not to claim the ring. Sinestro's corruption is a plot point the film should have hinged on. And no matter how well the character is handled in his transition to villain in the sequel, the crucial setup phase was blundered.
Sinestro doesn't do much because Sinestro isn't the star of the film. In fact, considering that Sinestro is a minor character in this story, I am baffled that this was a criticism at all with all the screen time he got. Sinestro is shown reporting to the Guardians on the release of Parallax, a few minutes later he is shown giving the report on Abin Sur's death, then he's there to talk to the Guardians about Parallax, etc. At every plot point throughout the film you see Sinestro updating the Guardians or butting heads with Hal Jordan. All this attention definitely suggested to the audience that this character would be important in upcoming movies.
On that point, anyone who was paying attention to Sinestro throughout the film knew what was going to happen next. You see how angry he is with the Guardians, his own fear that the GL ring isn't strong enough, etc and when a the yellow ring was forged, considering the way Sinestro was acting after Hal's victory, it was obvious what was going to come next. In fact, that minor plot would have felt meaningless without that scene afters the credits. Once again, was the reviewer even paying attention?
The CG Fails the Story's Scope – From a technical perspective, Green Lantern is an ambitious film. Far from showcasing the usual earthbound super-heroics, it depicts an entire galaxy full of ring-wielding heroes from countless alien worlds. But the reach of the film's ambition far exceeded the grasp of its CG capabilities. Green Lantern simply didn't look as impressive as its universe deserves.
Art design was one flaw. The filmmakers took a number of liberties with the look of the Green Lanterns, the architecture of Oa and other elements. The second-skin look of the costumes was interesting, but ultimately the simpler approach in the comics just looks better.
The larger problem with the CG was that it never looked very convincing. Hal stood out awkwardly from his CG costume. Many of the aliens were surreal to the point of looking fake. It's enough to wonder if the filmmakers would have been better off creating Green Lantern as an entirely CG film, like Beowulf or Polar Express. At least then the universe would have looked more cohesive.
The CGI was incredible, and the constructs were so varied, from a toy race car track to a pool of water, I was amazed at how well it was put together. I was at first unsure as to how you could show a GL's power on screen, but it worked. Even the CGI suit was impressive on screen, despite my own concerns and this reviewers gripes about it. Knowing the source material, it made more sense to have the suit as CGI than otherwise. It wasn't perfect, but far better than I expected, and far better than anyone could imagine after reading this hit piece.
As for this criticism about taking liberties with the source material, what of it? As in all superhero movies, there is a considerable amount of difference between the source material and the film adaptation. Whether it is the architecture or the appearance of the various alien species, considering how that the source material is a comic book, how are they to bring these to life without making changes? As for this criticism that the aliens themselves look to surreal, look at the source material itself. The vast majority of the aliens in the comic book, as well as the Bruce Timm animated shows and movies, are surreal. It is easy to see that this reviewer is simply looking for excuses to dislike the film.
Hector Hammond – WTF? – Hector Hammond isn't necessarily one of the most well-known or beloved Green Lantern villains, although the comics have worked to change that in recent years. Regardless, Hammond is a character who deserved much better than what the film had to offer him.
The best villains all have personal ties to their heroic enemies, and Hammond is no different. In the comics, Hammond craves the life of adventure, excitement, and love that Hal Jordan enjoys. He's a character ruled by greed, not fear. Unfortunately, the movie more or less ignored these fundamental aspects. The result was that Hammond was little more than a walking plot device that chewed scenery and heralded the coming of Parallax.
In my opinion, Hector Hammond is a horrible character. That isn't the fault of this movie, but the source material itself which is half a century old. Back in 1961 when he was created, I doubt the writers could ever have dreamed of villains like Parallax and the Sinestro Corps, as well as the huge assortment of villains Hal has fought over the years that puts this C-list character to shame. Though revised, powered up and thrown at other GLs since his creation, Hammond is still a poorly designed character. If anything, this film makes him appear far more interesting than his C-list comic book inspiration.
A Blow to DC's Movie Plans – GL is Warner Bros.' first attempt at truly embracing a comic book property's roots. It was expected to do for DC what Iron Man did for Marvel, and usher in a new, lighter more Marvel-esque movie era for DC in a post-Nolan Batman world.
The exact opposite happened. Ryan Reynolds, who many fans of the comic believed was not the right choice for Hal, is one of the film's few strong points. Reynolds' Hal and Blake Lively's Carol do not fail the movie, the movie fails them. It also fails fans who wanted to celebrate the movie beyond the fact that a movie about intergalactic space cops and their jewelry exists.
Green Lantern's creative shortcomings and negative criticisms will affect plans not only for this franchise, but for others – especially Warners' JLA movie, slated for 2013, and their Batman reboot. Moreover, on a macro level, reaction to GL will impact other studios with similar-minded properties in development; studios will become gun-shy to pull the trigger on those projects based on one movie's misfire. The best thing about GL is the fact that it got made. The fact that "will-powered rings this" and "yellow impurity that" can become a big-screen reality just 10 years after the first X-Men movie was considered a gamble is a big leap forward. It will be a sad time when (not if) the industry lets this movie's failures detour the chances of potential successes waiting to get made.
It's too early to track all of the fallout from GL, but we can see the mushroom cloud rising. Expect a "mea culpa" down the line from the studio – maybe from even Geoff Johns himself, who spearheaded this project as DC Entertainment's Chief Creative Officer. It will be the usual, kid-gloves response about how "we missed the boat on a lot of things with GL, but we'll get it right with a reboot!" And all that does is prepare us for the fact that what they got wrong the first time they may get wrong again.
If this reviewer was trying to appear unbiased in his/her criticism, it is this criticism which makes it obviously that he/she was anything but. A blow to DC's movie plans? How so? Last time I checked, they didn't kill off Hal Jordan or any other important character in this film to make further films more difficult. This is hardly the case with Marvel's X-Men franchise as Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops, a character who is the linchpin for the vast majority of X-Men stories, was killed off in the third X-Men film. This film was simply a way of introducing audiences to Green Lantern. It's clear that there will be sequels to this film as the ending hints at just that.
As for DC's other plans, what of them? A Batman reboot isn't affected by this film's success. The Batman franchise, as indicated by the success of the last two films, is very profitable venture no matter what other superhero films are out, whether they are DC or Marvel. A new Superman series could be the same as his following is just as strong and fans have been demanding a reboot of the series after the last film tried to continue the story of the Christopher Reeve's movies. It maybe that DC would be concerned about other characters, but any decent film with Batman, Superman or both will make money.
On that note, if this reviewer was so concerned about how Green Lantern's success would affect other DC movies, why haven't these questions been asked about Marvel's movies? Let's not forget that Iron Man was the first real success Marvel had that was comparable to DC's success with Batman Begins, and that came after a slew of terrible films. Has this reviewer already forgotten about the Hulk and Ghost Rider?
In conclusion, I have a hard time trusting movies reviews. Unless there is something seriously wrong with the film, like disturbing content, poor editing, etc it's best to pay the ticket price to see it for yourself. Simply put, ignore this review, as well as others done by Marvel fanatics, and be your own critic.

Iraq: Background
Nearly 10 years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the country continues to bleed and suffer. The death toll on all sides is mounting, and the US military, rather than solving Iraq's problems, is, in the fact, the source of much of Iraq's instability. The war has lasted longer than World War II and has cost more than the Vietnam War. It's time to stop funding the war, bring the troops home, and prevent future wars!
The U.S. military presence in Iraq isn't providing security for Iraqis. A team of American and Iraqi epidemiologists estimates that over 655,000 people have died in Iraq since the US invaded in March 2003. The United Nations says some 1.7 million people are internally displaced within Iraq and about two million are displaced outside of the country.
Fear of violence, abduction and rape has emptied the streets of women. And, the cost of the war is soaring, with billions already spent on war that could otherwise be used to create jobs, relieve poverty, and improve health and education, both in Iraq and the United States.
Meanwhile, no weapons of mass destruction were ever found in Iraq, nor were there any links discovered between Saddam Hussein and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The Downing Street memo, a document from British intelligence from July 23, 2002, proves that the Bush Administration never had concrete or credible evidence for any of the original allegations for war. The Bush Administration's haste and lies have now led to a seemingly endless occupation that has only gotten worse since Bush himself stood up and publicly declared "Mission Accomplished." The Iraqi military clearly did not even have the ability to defend its own capital, much less the strength to attack the U.S. or its neighbors.
The national conversation around the war has dramatically shifted over the past four years. Most Americans -- more than six in ten -- believe that going to war in Iraq was a mistake, reflecting a sea change in public opinion. Now, those who led us to war are backpedaling, stating that our withdrawal will precipitate more violence, causing a civil war. But this is a misrepresentation of what the military occupation is currently accomplishing: continuing the U.S.-led occupation will actually NOT bring peace, stability and democracy to the Iraqi people.
Instead of maintaining security, the U.S. military presence is, on the whole, exacerbating sectarian violence and chaos. U.S. troops provide militant squads with a golden target on the streets. There are no better people to tell us about the wrongheadedness of this war than Iraqis ~ a 2006 World Opinion Poll reports that, 78% of Iraqis say US military presence is "provoking more conflict than it is preventing," and 71% of Iraqis would like U.S.-led forces to be withdrawn within a year or less. Furthermore, Global Exchange has organized delegations of Iraqis here to the states who have echoed this. Furthermore, the troops themselves are turning against this mismanaged conflict. As a 2006 poll indicated, 72% of active military members serving in Iraq believed that the war should have ended before 2006 was out.
Fortunately, the peace movement is just as vibrant as before the war, when we were working to prevent an attack on Iraq. We are educating people about the reality of warfare in Iraq; pressuring our Senators and Representatives to cut off funding for the war; supporting military families and GIs who are speaking out against the war or refusing to fight; and taking to the streets to tell the world that we say no to the Bush administration's aggressive and militaristic foreign policies. And it's working! The people spoke out through the 2006 mid-term elections by voting out pro-war candidates and changing the control over Congress and 70% of Americans now disapprove of Bush's handling of the war.

got the rest of receiver put together. it went together pretty easy. there was a large gap on one side so i had to add a filler piece. first thing i did was to cut a piece of metal to fit in the dove tail for folding stock. i put it in and welded it in on both sides.
be careful if you do it this way. i should have cut it a little short so it lined up w/ the 2 thick ribs on the inside, rear of receiver. putting the welds on the outside corners where the metal is extremely thin almost caused a burn through into channel that the sheet metal upper sits in. would have been a pain to clean it up.
i did not weld the top of the hole for the safety lever/selector yet as i didn't have a brass rod to use as a backing plate.
i have to clean up selector hole and decide if i need to put in holes for hammer stop pin. i've seen builds both ways. anyone know what would be wrong w/ leaving it out? then i can insert internals and see what else i need to clean up inside receiver.

Dec 1, 2005 at 10:41 pm #1217273
I'm thinking that one could get away with a nice and lightweight winter footwear system by using neoprene booties such as these that are used by divers and such. For added insulation one could layer a VB and wool sock combo. This set up reminds me of military VB boots, but is much lighter. Of course, I have no idea if this will work. Any thoughts?

Ok, not sure what happened to the post above but here is what I was trying to say… I think you could use some neoprene booties like those used by divers for winter footwear. for additional warmth you could layer a VB and wool sock combo. This is same idea that military VB(bunny) boots are based on… Any thoughts?
Here's a link to the kind of bootie I am thinking of…http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=2339&deptid=1169#

I use the nrs neoprene bootie in winter. It is my default really cold setup. I use a synthetic liner sock and coat my foot with a strong deoderant like mitchum. If you have room in your boots a thermal insole will also help. It is important to air out neoprene, it can host a infection like trench foot.Dec 2, 2005 at 5:00 pm #1346390

Neoprene socks have a lot more flexibility for me. I can use them with running shoes, mountaineering boots, or cross-country ski boots as conditions warrant. I can also switch to more conventional socks when I don't feel the need anymore.
I'd second the comment that it is extremely important to air out your feet and the socks with anything like this. Trench foot is not anyone's idea of a good time.
I recommend these socks from Campmor over the ubiquitous Sealskinz:

That's the same URL as above. I found two hits for "neoprene sock" at Campmor. Could you re-post the URL at Campmor for the socks you recommend? Thanks.Dec 3, 2005 at 5:09 pm #1346442

Many Thanks for the replies everyone
Larry, I have a few questions…
1)You use the neoprene booties as your "default really cold setup". How cold is really cold?
2)NRS makes several different styles of booties. Which ones do you use?
3)Lastly, How much do they weigh?
Thanks again,

I am starting up snow shoeing this winter in west virginia.
will neoprene socks and trail runners with gaiters work for the winter, or do I want trail runners and over boots
do you think the Neosport Polyolefin Hot Socks from campmor work well under trail runners?

>will neoprene socks and trail runners with gaiters work for the winter, or do I want trail runners and over boots
It mostly depends on the temperature. You have young toes, so they will probably stay warm at a lower temperature than my frost-nipped toes. The best way to answer your question is to get some neoprene socks and try them with your trail shoes and gaiters. Neoprene socks come in handy anyway (summer hikes with lots of stream crossings), so it's not really a waste of money. You could also try a thin liner sock, a bread bag (cheapo VB), and a wool sock, and see how that works. If neither of those work for you at the temperatures you encounter in WV, then go for the overboots.
I figure the weight of my trail runners plus overboots is about the same as my Lands' End Extreme Squall boots, so I'll probably stick to the simple boot. I'm still trying out socks.
I wore Mysterioso M-Tech socks with my trail runners while snowshoeing this week, and they weren't enough to keep my toes warm. Probably sufficient for snowshoeing above freezing.
If you're going to use trail runners with snowshoes be sure to either carry a backup pair of warm boots, be able to hike out quickly, or have the time and equipment to set up camp. Frozen toes are no joke. You may not get frostbite, but if you frostnip your toes you will regret it for years.Dec 10, 2005 at 7:41 pm #1346807
Thanks Doug,
I think I may try the neoprene socks with VB bread bags, and on the first few of my snowshoe trips, I will bring a couple extra pairs of heavy wool socks until I am confident in the warmth of my footwear system.
I tested out the bread bag under wool socks in my trail runners while shoveling snow and doing stuff outside this weekend, but at the end of the day there were holes in the toes, but they did keep me warm. have you had any problems with the moisture build up inside the vapor barior?Dec 10, 2005 at 7:52 pm #1346808

I'll be doing this from skin out:
liner socks
polartec power stretch socks (campmor item 14880)
trail runners
neos villager overshoes (campmor item 44910)
outdoor research rocky mountain low gaiters (campmor item 14235)
northern lites backcountry snowshoesDec 10, 2005 at 8:18 pm #1346810
thanks for the info guys,
I will probably buy both the neoprene socks and neos overshoes eventually but for my first few trips, I will probbably use a wool sock/montrail GTX boot combo before experimenting with trail runners
***EDIT*** I will actually use my cheaper "Hi-tec" boots I got a Dicks sporting goods because they are much more comfortable and lighter too.Dec 11, 2005 at 10:36 pm #1346833

The nrs sock I use is the 3mm expedition,item 2341. My size xl weigh 7 5/8oz. By comparision my seirus stretch storm socks weigh 2 3/4 oz. You need to add 1oz. for the synthetic liner socks for either.
I work outside 90% of the time in the central cascades of Washington State where we don't see too much beyond 20 below but I've climbed in Canada in twice that cold and still have my toes. I don't use the neoprene until it hits 5 degrees. my footwear varies from sorel caribous[work], salomon gtx[snowshoe], vasque 9000[climbing],ice bug mr4 runners[snoeshoe or running],or a pair of steger artic mukluks[snowshoe]. I make insulated insoles out of a foil faced material kinda like bubble wrap [it's used to sound deaden and insulate duct work, car body panels, I'd have to hunt up a link but it can be found at most large lowes or home depots]
The different uses are directly related to whether I'm out for days or hoursDec 16, 2005 at 6:28 pm #1347056

I've used Serius and Gator neoprene socks extensively as both VBL and insulation with great success. I agree with the recommendation to air out feet when using non- breathable footwear. Before I crawl into my sleeping bag I peel the socks off my feet inside out and set them outside my bag to allow foot and sock to dry overnight.
Another product I've used extensively and had tremendously positive results with is GTX socks. Family members I've bought them for are similarly amazed by their power and versatility.
Layered over hiking socks they protect against rain, puddles and shallow creek crossings. In fact, standing in an icy creek with only thin cotton (death fabric) socks, GTX socks and boots on; it's amazing how warm my feet remain. I ran 25 miles in the rain one day on the JMT with this set-up and had no warmth or blister problems (which I'm prone to). I also find my normally sweaty feet have no problem breathing through the GTX membrane even while my boot is soaked!
I much prefer GTX socks over GTX boots because one pair can be used in all my sandals, shoes and boots; footwear dries much faster when you can separate the membrane from the boot and let them dry separately; if the GTX is punctured (as mine was by cactus while hiking in the snow), it's easier to patch and cheaper to replace than a pair of boots; and in dry conditions you can hike without the GTX making for much drier and more blister resistant feet.
For moderate temperature snow and ice travel (summer Sierra-Nevada in California) I have often used this very same set-up. I always have 2.1oz./pair scree gaitors (velcroed to my boots to avoid the problematic underboot strap) on my boots- on trail to keep dirt and stones out and in snow to keep the snow out of the boots. Despite my poor foot circulation I can hike all day in the snow with warm, dry feet with only one lowcut standard summer weight synthetic hiking sock under my GTX sock. If the terrain becomes steeper I strap on an instep crampon or 17.3oz. Camp XLC 490 aluminum front point equipped technical crampons (which come with plastic toe and heel cups to fit light non-technical hiking boots and trail runners). I've comfortably climbed long steep ice couloirs with no more than this light set-up.
My old GTX socks were made mostly of stretch GTX and so I was able to buy in my usual size 9. The current design utilizes only a thin stretch panel so I had to go up 3 sizes to a 12 to get them on. However, they weigh 2.9 oz. /pair and they work!

@bdavisLocale: Mt. Lassen - Shasta, N. Cal.
I am learning about snow hiking and camping. The vapor barriers scare me, especially the marine vapor barriers like sealskin. I never liked them on the ocean and quit even trying to use them because they were not pliable enough, hard to put on, and when water got inside were worse than my socks.
Cold, snow conditions make them even less attractive IMO. The articles about breathability make me think that there must be a way to have light weight footwear in three categories: 1) day trekking in no precip and below freezing (to whatever range, but for my purposes above or at 0 F; 2) muck, rain, sleet, wet conditions down to 20 F; and 3) deeper powder down to -10 F or more given any kind of wind or damp.
First issue is sole durability over intermittent rocks, asphalt, or hard surfaces and icy conditions (slippery at intermitent intervals) in all three categories. We have a mixed environment which changes based on going even a few miles and few hundred feet change in elevation.
Is there one boot or low top + gaiter combination that will handle these three categories? Or, what combination of boot or low top, socks, and gaiters will handle each category with the least weight and most functionality without using vapor barriers (given the perameters are staying dry, warm, and safe)?
My present hiking boots are tecnica waterproof barrier built in and my low tops Montrail CTCs. I have Steggers for the pure pleasure of hiking in "pure" snow and snow shoes for day hikes (Redfeather Hike 22s). I have LaCrosse snow boots, with some kind of liner, weighing about 2.25 lbs. each, 4.5 lbs. pair.
I just ordered some Integral Designs eVENT shorties and OR mid-wieght high top gaiters.Jan 4, 2007 at 6:47 pm #1373024

Another option is the Crescent Moon Neoprene Overbooties. They stretch over your shoes. I've been testing them out extensively over the last few weeks and they are very warm for the weight (6mm neoprene). Here is what I found:
1) When they are warm, they are easy to stretch and put on over my size 10.5 trailrunners. When they are cold and frozen, such as on a second day of shoeing after camping, they are more difficult to put on. I will need to keep them in my sleeping bag.
2) They are warm enough to keep my toes very comfortable while moving – even at minus 20 (f). (And I only had on Smartwool socks and Goretex trailrunners under them.)
3) They stay on well while wearing snowshoes. On the other hand, they slip off my toes when I'm moving and not wearing snowshoes. I'll be making some mods with velcro to see if I can fix this.
Overall, I've been very impressed.Jan 11, 2007 at 12:05 am #1373883
I use thin neoprene sox as a VBL for my Sorrel feltpacks to keep the poly/wool felt insulation dry (& me warm).
Got to wear thin poly sox as liners & turn the neoprene (wet) sox inside out at night to dry inside my sleeping bag.
The feltpacks go in my long size sleeping bag on my feet so they're warm for morning. Dancing by your breakfast stove at -5F in cold boots W/ painful feet is NOT fun.

Eric, in all your years of skiing, you must have at least tried the super-gaiter: a rubber rand around the lower part of the boot, the fabric part (insulated or un-insulated) extending to above the calf. With the sole free you can use the boot for whatever it was designed for, such as a ski boot using traditional 3-pin XC bindings, or a mountaineering boot, or perhaps even a pair of trail runner shoes. Do you like super-gaiters?Jan 18, 2007 at 12:01 am #1374752
Yes, as a gearhead I have a great pair of Thinsulate insulated supergaiters W/rubber rand, part of which even runs under the arch. I had to cut away a bit on the toe area to get my Telemark boots to fit the binding bail.
These supergaiters are WARM and need only be used in near zero or below temps or around camp. I've had them for about 10 years and had good service from them. Amazingly the light Cordura even has old generation Gore-Tex lamination.
They still look almost like new even though they were likely the 1st supergaiters available in the U.S.. Luckily they just fit over my new Scarpa T3 plastic Telemark boots. I absolutly needed them when my only B-C skiing boots were heavy leather Vibram soled Vasque Tele boots with no insulation.Jan 27, 2016 at 3:09 pm #3378499
Your original post asked about light neoprene diver's sox.
The answer is not just yes but Hell YES! I've use these sox for more than 20 years as VBLs over very light polypro liner sox. They are warm and keep boots or insulated boot liners dry and also warm.
In fact here's my frequent winter hiking footwear:
- BOOTS-> Merrill Moab Mid GTX
- VBL-> US Divers seam-sealed light neoprene diver's socks
- LINER-> polyester or polypropylene thin sox
- GAITERS-> knee high Cabela's GTX
This is a very warm and dry combination for temps down to about 0 F. as long as I keep moving at a moderate pace.Oct 11, 2016 at 1:48 pm #3430605
BTW, the best light neoprene diver's sox I've found are US Divers sox. They even have a "left" and "right" foot marked inside the top. And they come factory seam sealed.
You absolutely must carry at least 2 pair of thin poly liner socks so you can change them every night, rinse out the stinky pair and let them dry over night hanging inside the tent. They will dry that way unless you're having very low temps inside the tent, say below 10 F. Or just carry a pair for each day. They are light and take up minimal space in your pack.
This changing of liner sox is to keep your feet more bacteria-free and avoid dreaded foot fungi.

Gambian journalist threatened after writing on executions
Lagos, Nigeria, November 16, 2012--The Committee to Protect Journalists today said it holds authorities in the Gambia responsible for the safety of a journalist who has received death threats following critical coverage of the government.
Abubacarr Saidykhan, a freelancer who contributes to several news websites, told CPJ that four unknown people on Tuesday threatened him at his Ebo Town residence in Kanifing Municipality, some seven miles (11 kilometers) from the capital Banjul. Saidykhan said he was near his compound gate with his brother when the men drove up in an unmarked vehicle with tinted windows and threatened to kill him next time they see him. One of the men called him "a very stubborn journalist" before they drove off.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|12 Cree 3W-4.5W LEDs with 40 degree optics are too strong for a 20L. Consider 60 degrees for the most part and use 90 degree lens for the 3rd and 5th column assuming you are spacing it like your diagram.
|You just want to have as much flexibility as possible. Then the final setup is simply whatever works best.
Thank you to everyone for the tips. I just found out that I have to move (landlord is selling), which means the tank will be torn down and set up in a different location, so I will probably be able to set the LEDs up much higher. I will build the fixture as soon as I have settled in.
This may be a lot easier to build if the lights are 12 inches from the water instead of 8.
|Cool white are almost a perfect kelvin IMO. So if you add all those warm whites you'll want some blue to be able to balance it out. I have nice control over my color with 28 cw, 12 rb and 12 neutral white. Next time is use normal blue instead of royal.
Keep in mind that 18 LEDs over a 20L will look like a fiery inferno. I put 52 LEDs over my 6'x2' tank and before I put optics on I couldn't watch tv in the same room. That's with the LEDs running at less than half power.
Not saying you don't want all 18, just saying there probably won't be really noticeable dark areas.

If you want to use 60 degree optics you will have to either move the light closer to the tank or switch to Cree XP-G LEDs.
|I'd recommend Neutrals over Warm whites but in the same ratio you are using. I'd probably go with 60 or 80 degree optics and make sure you don't use superglue to attach them! Soldering these guys is very easy, just pre-tin the wire and pad on the star, hold together and apply heat. 60/40 rosin core solder from radio shack worked well for me and is inexpensive.
|If there are 5 LEDs per row spaced four inches apart, then the three rows would be centered over the middle 20 inches of a 30 inch tank. With 40 degree optics, wouldn't that mean the ends of the tank would be quite dark?
|That calculator doesn't give a good result if you space the rows a lot further apart than the LED spacing. If you want to use evenly distributed LEDs over the whole top of the tank, I would use 3 rows of 5 LEDs, spaced 4 inches apart, with the rows 4 inches apart. And, I would use XR-E LEDs, http://www.dealextreme.com/p/cree-xr...ium-star-15943 with 40 degree optics. At about 600 mAmps you should get 60 micromols of PAR. It would probably take 2 LED Drivers, but maybe not. That should give you very uniform light, and the XR-E is fairly cheap now. DealExtreme is a pretty good store to deal with too.
|Ok, so here are some images of the basic setup, and then 3 different options for light layout. I have pretty much ruled out option 3, but I'm undecided between options 1 and 2. It seems like staggering the lights would get more even coverage.
I have been using this calculator, and so far it has been very helpful, thanks! I did not expect 60 degree optics to reduce par by half, but in using the calculator yesterday I think it said about 37 Micromols for two rows of LEDs at 4 inch spacing with 60 degree optics, and 90 micromols for 40 degree optics. Is that right?
Unlike a scaped aquarium, this tank has rows of plants from front to back instead of side to side. As a result, the front and back have to be lit pretty evenly. I'm also worried about light getting lost in the middle due to the seam on the glass lid. With a single row of lights in the center, I would expect the plants near the glass to not receive much light with 40 degree optics, is that correct?
If the light is placed 8 inches above the tank at 4 inch spacing (two rows), will the spotlight effect be dramatic? The tank has so many plants that there is not much open water space to really see beams of light on.
Also, would a glass lid reduce or amplify spotlight effect?
Could I use a mix of optics, like 40 degrees near the ends tho reduce light on glass and 60 degrees near the middle?
Play around with the calculator in this thread: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/di...-tank-led.html
I would use a 3.25 inch spacing of the LEDs, one row, about 8 LEDs, Cree XP-G, either all cool white or 5 cool white and 3 neutral white. At 18 inches distance, with 40 degree optics you should get about 60 micromols of PAR, high light, at 700 mAmps current. If you want to use a knob to control the light intensity, use the D version of the Meanwell driver.
A single length of 1" by 2" by 1/8" or even 1/16" aluminum channel should work fine for the heatsink, with no fan. I would put the LEDs in the inside of the channel, to help shield people's eyes from the LED glare.
I haven't used the solderless connectors, so I don't know how well they work, but if you are uncomfortable with soldering, I feel pretty sure you would be satisfied by the results with the solderless kit.
Thanks for the quick response! I have made a few diagrams that I will upload when I get home to a computer, and once I figure out the answers to all of my questions, I will document the construction process.
I still have many questions about the lens color, 40 vs 60 degree optics, whether to use the meanwell 48 P or D (read the spec sheet, still have no idea of which to go with), whether light coverage would be adequate, and where to get my heat sink. I still have a lot to learn, and all advice is greatly appreciated.
I've got to advise soldering things together. Solder less is neat in concept, but the contacts will eventually corrode and either lose contact when jolted, or simply lose contact some day.
With today's lead free solders, corrosion should never be an issue. LED stars are easy to solder to.
Depending on your heatsink, a fan probably won't be necessary. I use two panels of 12 emitters running at 670mA on my 70g. It gets warm enough that you can feel it if you touch it, but only just warm.
I used a 50/50 mix of warm white and cool white. I like it and so do the plants.
You may not want optics on the emitters on the ends. Try it with and without.
One very important thing, Post a picture and details when it's done. Lots of folks will benefit from your experience. Even those of us who've gone LED can benefit from the experience of others.
DIY LED kit for a heavily planted 20L (solderless?)
I am in the planning stages of building an LED fixture for a 20 L tank (30x12x12) that is planted very heavily. While I do have a soldering kit, I was quite intrigued by the 12 Solderless LED Retrofit Kit Dimmable offered by RapidLED as it seems a lot easier.
The fixture itself will be hung from a shelf which is 8 inches from the surface of the water. I was thinking of using two aluminum u-channels (2x1) so the fixture can double as a heat sink. To maximize lighting at the substrate, 40 degree optics will be used.
So, onto the questions. This kit comes with 2 LED terminals, each of which is only 4 inches long. In order for my setup to work, I will have two row of LEDs, one in each u-channel. As a result, it seems to make sense to me to have one of the LED terminals near each channel (since it is only 4 inches I was thinking each terminal could go in the space under the cross beam that connects the channel at each end). This would mean that the wire from the terminal to the LEDs would be quite long (closer to 30 inches).
- there are some 3.5 inch extension wires that can link an LED to the terminal. Would it be possible/safe to modify these wires to make them longer (30 inches max)?
- of the driver is at 700 mA and the fixture is at 8 inches above the water level and has 40 degree lenses, will coverage be sufficient with 7 cree xp-gs in the front and 6 in the back? Thank has high co2 and ferts.
- would a fan be necessary at 700 mA?
- what mix of bulbs would you recommend for freshwater? I was thinking 5 warm white and 8 cool white, unless neutrals should be thrown in the mix?
- should lenses be white or black?
Any advice you have for a total LED building beginner would be greatly appreciated. The solderless kits are only $10 more than the soldering ones, which is why I am trying to see if that will work.
If not, I will do two rows of 7 and do the soldering.
Thanks in advance!

O'Donnell's Millionaires caught my ear early on — back in 2010, we nominated the demo version of "Rare Bird" for Song of the Year, and they won Best Band honors in '10 and '11 in Newport's Mercury magazine. Sleeping Dogs Lie included guest help from John McCauley (who provides vox on three tracks) as well as Kevin Cole from NYC punk band the Turbo A.C.s. O'Donnell started out as a member of No Means Yes in the early '00s before heading west to Seattle "just to see what's out there."
"When I moved away someone told me, 'You'll be back. Everyone comes back,' and I thought, 'No way,' " O'Donnell recalled. "But I learned that if you're unhappy, you'll be unhappy anywhere. It's not the town's fault, it's who you decide to be and, just as important, it's who you decide not to be.
"I am so glad I moved back, and I've come full circle, he continued. "I have total Rhode Island pride and wear it on my sleeve and love it and promote it."
O'Donnell recorded both Sleeping Dogs Lie and the Easy Tiger EP with Scott Rancourt at his Summing Point Studios in Newport; it's the first release on Giant Robot Records, a new, all-inclusive imprint owned by Rancourt and video guru Rocco Michaluk.
"We've worked together for many years now and it gets better every time," Rancourt said via email earlier this week. "Mike is a very unique and underrated songwriter, so it's always exciting to see what he'll come up with in the studio, from a slow acoustic number to a full-on rock monster, each done with just the right amount of spontaneity and precision."
The midtempo opener "Drifting to California" coasts right into the thumping title track (with a riff recalling Queens of the Stone Age's "Burn the Witch"), with O'Donnell channeling Alice Cooper over Bob Dylan this time around. Expert violinist Meghan O'Connor returns and complements O'Donnell's harmonica on "The Mess You Made." And it doesn't get any better than the reworked "upbeat punk version" of "Keep Dying" closing out the five-song EP. There's no McCauley this time around, but the "clippity-clop country noir" backbeat of the previous version (from Sleeping Dogs Lie) gets the full-blown barroom rock treatment.
I asked O'Donnell what's up next for the one-man Millionaire this summer (skilled local bassists take note).
"I'd like to just have a solid lineup," O'Donnell stated. "We found a local drummer who kills it and I'm starting to work with a pedal steel guy, but any bass players out there that can tour, drop me a line because I have a ton of new songs ready to be worked out."

24 breaks for bookworms

The immense pack ice of the GLACIAR PERITO MORENO (also called Ventisquero Perito Moreno) is one of Argentina's greatest natural wonders. It's not the longest of Argentina's glaciers – nearby Glaciar Upsala is twice as long (60km) – and whereas the ice cliffs at its snout tower up to 60m high, the face of Glaciar Spegazzini can reach heights double that. However, such comparisons prove irrelevant when you stand on the boardwalks that face this monster. Perito Moreno has a star quality that none of the others rivals.
The glacier zooms down off the icecap in a great motorway-like sweep, a jagged mass of crevasses and towering, knife-edged séracs almost unsullied by the streaks of dirty moraine that discolour many of its counterparts. When it collides with the southern arm of Lago Argentino, the Canal de los Témpanos (Iceberg Channel), the show really begins: vast blocks of ice, some weighing hundreds of tonnes, detonate off the face of the glacier with the report of a small cannon and come crashing down into the waters below. These frozen depth-charges then surge back to the surface as icebergs, sending out a fairy ring of smaller lumps that form a protecting reef around the berg, which is left to float in a mirror-smooth pool of its own.
That said, it's more likely you'll have to content yourself with the thuds, cracks, creaks and grinding crunches the glacier habitually makes, as well as the wonderful variety of colours of the ice: marbled in places with streaks of muddy grey and copper-sulphate blue, while at the bottom the pressurized, de-oxygenated ice has a deep blue, waxy sheen. The glacier tends to be more active in sunny weather and in the afternoon, but early morning can also be beautiful, as the sun strikes the ice cliffs.
With the wind coming off the ice, the temperature at the glacier can be a lot colder than in El Calafate, so take extra clothes. Do not stray from the boardwalks: many deaths have been caused by ricocheting ice or wave surges.
Perito Moreno is considered to be a "stable" glacier in the sense that it is neither advancing nor retreating. It is famous for the way it periodically pushes right across the channel, forming a massive dyke of ice that cut off the Brazo Rico and Brazo Sur from the main body of Lago Argentino. Isolated from their natural outlet, the water in the brazos (arms) would build up against the flank of the glacier, flooding the surrounding area, until eventually the pressure forced open a passage into the canal once again. Occurring over the course of several hours, such a rupture is, for those lucky enough to witness it, one of nature's most awesome spectacles.
The glacier first reached the peninsula in 1917, having advanced some 750m in fifteen years, but the channel did not remain blocked for long and the phenomenon remained little known. This changed in 1939, when a vast area was flooded and planes made a futile attempt to break the glacier by bombing it. In 1950, water levels rose by 30m and the channel was closed for two years; in 1966, levels reached an astonishing 32m above their normal level. The glacier then settled into a fairly regular cycle, completely blocking the channel approximately every four years or so up to 1988; after that there was a sixteen-year gap until another rupture in 2004. Since then there have been major ruptures in March 2006, 2008 and, most recently, in March 2012.

JOIN US FOR A WILD DAY OUT AT FORT NELSON - Thursday, 7 June 2012
Head to the Royal Armouries at Fort Nelson over the Fathers' Day weekend (June 16/17) for a wild day out for all the family.
Explore this 19-acre site – high on Portsdown Hill – and use your investigation skills to find plants, insects and animals that live and flourish here.
Bio Blitz is the first event of its kind at the Victorian fort and visitors can:
- Enjoy a wildlife discovery tour, in areas of the site that are normally out of bounds.
- Bring cameras and have a go at wildlife photography and land art.
- Discover how Fort Nelson was transformed from a derelict bramble patch to a national museum.
- Get stuck into "wild" craft activities.
- Get up close and personal with birds of prey (Sunday, June 17, only).
Fort education officer Eileen Clegg said, "Fort Nelson is located on chalk Downland, providing an ideal habitat for a wide range of rare animals, birds, insects and plants. This weekend is a great way for children and adults to discover more in an informative but fun and stimulating way.
"It's Fathers' Day weekend, so dads and granddads can also enjoy touring the new-look museum – home to the national collection of big guns."
Visitors can explore the Victorian fort, complete with new galleries, tunnels to explore, ramparts, Café 1871, and daily gun firings. Museum admission and parking are free – admission to Bio Blitz activities costs £3 per adult, and £2 per child.
Built in the 1860s to protect the South Coast against feared invasion by the French, Fort Nelson showcases one of the world's finest collections of artillery and cannon, from across the ages and from all corners of the globe.
Last year, this unique heritage attraction underwent a £3.5m redevelopment to create a museum for the 21st century, supported by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Virginia C. Thomas to Lead Wayne Law's Arthur Neef Law Library
DETROIT (Feb. 6, 2009) – Wayne State University Law School is pleased to welcome new Arthur Neef Law Library Director Virginia C. Thomas.
Thomas joins Wayne Law and the Wayne State University Library System with over 30 years of experience working in law libraries, most recently as Law Library and Information Technology director at the University of Cincinnati College of Law, where she also served as an adjunct law professor. Previously, Thomas held positions at the University of Miami School of Law, Loyola University of Chicago School of Law and the Chicago-Kent College of Law at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Thomas received a B.A. in philosophy and German language and literature from DePaul University, an M.B.A. and J.D. from the Illinois Institute of Technology, and an M.A. in library science from the University of Chicago. She has taught, lectured and coordinated instructional support in law and is currently developing a course in empirical legal research. The author of numerous publications and presentations, Thomas is active in professional and community service activities and organizations.
As the director of the Neef Law Library, Thomas is now responsible for overseeing one of the nation's 40 largest legal collections. Thomas succeeds Georgia Clark, who retired from Wayne State after serving over 30 years as the director of the Law Library.
"We are thrilled to welcome Ms. Thomas to the Law School," said Wayne Law Dean and Professor Robert M. Ackerman. "The Arthur Neef Law Library is known as one of the best law libraries in the country thanks to the commitment of Georgia Clark and the Law Library staff throughout the years. I am confident in Ms. Thomas' expertise and ability to lead the Library into its next chapter, maintaining its focus on providing informational access for our students and for our community."
"We're very excited to have Virginia Thomas joining the Library System," said Sandra Yee, dean of the University Library System. "Her experience, enthusiasm and commitment to providing students with the best education and resources possible are going to significantly benefit our Wayne State and community users."

The American Cancer Society has published extensive lifestyle guidelines for cancer prevention. (CA Cancer J Clin 2012;62:30-67)
There are 572,000 cancer deaths in the United States each year, one third of which are attributable to diet and physical activity habits, mainly overweight and obesity.Ā Fully another third is a result of exposure to tobacco products.
Overweight and obesity are estimated to cause 14% to 20% of cancer-related deaths.Ā The major cancers related to overweight are breast cancer in post-menopausal women, colon and rectal cancer, endometrial, kidney, esophageal and pancreatic cancer.Ā Several other cancers are likely related to overweight, including liver cancer, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, multiple myeloma, cervical, ovarian and prostate cancer.
A minor reduction in caloric intake, only 50-100 calories a day, may be enough to prevent weight gain, and successful weight loss may occur with caloric reduction of 500 calories a day.Ā Foods that aggravate the problem include fried foods, cookies, cakes, candies, and sugar-sweetened beverages.Ā These foods should be replaced with vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains.Ā Most restaurants offer meals that exceed recommended serving sizes, are high in hidden fats and sugars, and low in vegetables, fruits, beans and whole grains.
The health of children, and of the teenagers and adults they will become, is closely tied to the establishment of healthy behaviors in childhood.Ā Weight gain, poor diets, and physical inactivity during childhood and adolescence increase the later risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension and osteoporosis later in life. Overweight young people tend to remain overweight when they become adults.

Mixer blades work great, and they're faster than shakers. Mixers also do a better job, because they break up clumps with the shearing action of the blades. Shakers are not good for clumps. Mixers also scrape the bottom of the bucket to get all the settled stuff into the mix. They use shakers for paint because it allows them to mix with the can closed, so it's much cleaner. Imagine having to wash paint off a mixer every time you mixed a gallon...
OK, thank you for the answer. Just seems like the mixer is pulling some glaze off the can every time I use it, but what you said makes sense.

I have found that the best way to find a missing item is to purchase a replacement.
I used a drill/mixer for years, right up til I did a major cleanup a few month ago and misplaced it. Coincidentally, just before that, I had also taken the advice of Mea and purchased plastic toilet brushes from the dollar store. I keep one in each bucket. They mixup the glaze so well that I haven't missed using the mixer. but I still want to know WTH the damn thing is!

In regards to the plaster wedging surface, I do plan to make a smaller board, that I can set on top.
Another question. I currently have a single bat, and am looking to get more. I know a lot of people here, make their own, but I'm not sure I want to attempt that, at the moment. I was just going to go with the plasti-bat, because I'm used to those. But I noticed that Bailey has a Wonderbat listed, with removable 6" square inserts. I think this would be a great choice for me, as I do a lot of mugs and bowls. The best part is, for thirty bucks, you get the main bat, with six square inserts. So that's much cheaper, than buying six plasti-bats......Yes, I know, but still not as cheap as making dozens of my own.... Does anyone have any experience with the Wonderbat, or a reason, why they wouldn't be a good idea?
I've been using the Wonderbat system for a few years. It's great for throwing many small pieces and not taking up lots of shelf space (for those of us who like to throw on a bat), but there are some downsides. When the bats are super clean there is some wiggle room, so I actually have to put little pieces of clay between the parts to get the bat to stay still. When the bats AREN'T clean they can be hard to push in and pry out, so they need be in a sweet spot of dirtyness to work well. Also, they warp, so many of mine don't sit flat anymore. The description claims that the pots will release when leather hard, but in my experience the pots don't release until they're close to bone dry - I have used these bats with at least six or seven clay bodies, and I always have to wire off.
Very good to know. I thought they claimed, they wouldn't warp, but they just state "Warp Resistant".

|Brad Marchand having a 'pretty insane time' playing with Patrice Bergeron and Mark Recchi, winning awards
|04.02.11 at 8:50 pm ET
Talk about quite the rookie ride. It's been Brad Marchand – not Tyler Seguin – everyone one is talking about and scouting for that matter, as a first-year Bruin heading into the playoffs.
After scoring 21 goals and adding 19 assists in 72 games, the Bruins winger was honored before Saturday's division-clinching 3-2 win over the Thrashers as the 2010-11 Bruins "Seventh Player Award" given to the Bruins player who goes above and beyond the call of duty and exceeded expectations, as voted on by Bruins fans.
"Well, it was a question mark whether I was going to be on the team this year, so it's a honor to win that award," Marchand said. "It's special.
"I think I was expected to be defensively responsible and bring energy into the game. Now I think I still have to do the exact same thing, but maybe bring a little more offense."
Marchand celebrated the honor by picking up his 20th assist on Boston's first goal Saturday, a score by Mark Recchi.
Technically still a rookie after 20 games last season, Marchand has earned the trust of his coaching staff by playing the left wing on the team's second line, playing with Patrice Bergeron and Recchi.
"It's huge, they're great offensive players," Marchand said. "They're both very smart. They make a lot of unbelievable plays that you don't see coming a lot of times. So with guys like that, you're expected to produce. It's a pretty insane time playing with guys as good as them."
"I think it's very deserving and that's certainly not to take away some of the other guys that have made tremendous steps as well," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "But, he's one of those guys that obviously surpassed maybe a lot of our expectations, obviously not his because he had made that prediction. But nonetheless, I think he's been a real good player for us from starting off on the fourth line and really making that line probably one of the best fourth lines we've had here for a long, long time and obviously was probably one of the best fourth lines in the League.
"He graduated obviously with Bergy [Patrice Bergeron] and Rex [Mark Recchi] and those guys have certainly, as much as he's benefited from them, they've benefited from him as well. They know that. He's such a good skater and he plays hard every night. He's been a real good player for us and I think it's going to be exciting to see him jump into the playoffs, just by the way he is. He's going to be pumped for that and I think he's going to be a really good asset for our hockey club."
Marchand is expected to receive consideration for the NHL's Calder Trophy, awarded to the league's top rookie. The favorites are considered Carolina's Jeff Skinner and San Jose's Logan Couture.
But that obviously isn't the trophy foremost on Marchand's mind.
"We didn't come into this season wanting to win this division," Marchand said of the Northeast title Saturday. "We have a goal, and that's to win the Stanley Cup. So it's a stepping stone, and it's a good accomplishment for a great team. But there's a long way to go before we accomplish our goal. It's special, but at the same time we're a long ways away."

Also they look like a different bee than what I have and would really like to get the queen to keep the genetics. How long does it take for the queen to come out and go in my hive?

New CEH - would like to purchase offical (legit) courseware
I just passed the CEH this morning, but there are some things I'd like to get deeper into. I used the Graves book and the "official" book by DeFino. They were OK in my opinion, but neither one of them really stood out. Fortunately I have a decent amount of experience in doing vulnerability scanning and some basic pen testing for work, so that helped a lot where the books fell a bit short.
I'd like to purchase a copy (legal, official, legimate) of someone's v6.1 official courseware if they'd be interested in selling it. I want to use it to dig in deeper in some of my weak areas and also get into the modules not officially covered on the exam.
PS - glad to be here!
