UPDATE: Traction improvements coming to Genesee and Charlestown Streets next week
UPDATE Aug 13 11:30am
Work is now underway on Genesee Street SW just east of Avalon Way SW on a grade that is very steep. SDOT crews are making traction improvements to the road.
Original Post
SDOT will conduct what they call "shot blasting" on Aug 12 -13 to make traction improvements at two locations in West Seattle next week. Shot blasting will propel a high-speed stream of abrasive material at the street surface to roughen it and create a better grip for vehicles. Dates are subject to change.
Flaggers will be on site at road closures to provide local access and guidance. This work will be completed in a single weekday at each location and will take place between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. The following describes the scheduled roadway closures:
Aug. 12: SW Charlestown Street between 49th Avenue SW and California Avenue SW (local access only)
· Work zone is SW Charlestown Street between 47th Avenue SW and 45th Avenue SW
· Eastbound traffic detoured via 49th Avenue SW, SW Admiral Way, and California Avenue SW
· Westbound traffic detoured via California Avenue SW, SW Admiral Way, and 49th Avenue SW
Aug. 13: SW Genesee Street between SW Avalon Way and Delridge Way SW (local access only)
· Work zone is SW Genesee Street between SW Avalon Way and 30th Avenue SW
· Eastbound traffic detoured via SW Avalon Way, SW Yancy Street, 28th Avenue SW, SW Andover Street, and Delridge Way SW
· Westbound traffic detoured via Delridge Way SW, SW Andover Street, 28th Avenue SW, SW Yancy Street, and SW Avalon Way

Personally I have never had an interest in KT pistols. Can't shoot the small ones for squat.
But this pistol has my attention. Yah it's only a 22magnum but 30 rounds in 1 magazine is an impressive number.
I have many other pistols I feel I need to purchase before this, but I know this gun will be on my buy list.

Newbie. First year.
I've converted all of my inner covers to full screen. We're in Georgia and it stays very hot in summer. I'll switch back when weather cools off. Meanwhile, I get various critters like roaches, wax moths, SHB and honey bees on top of the screen. Last inspection revealed a large number of dead bees (about 50) on top of a thriving colony. Can't say for sure, but I don't think they were mine. I have a diverse blend of bees (Jennifer Berry's Nucs) that lean to dark colors and the dead ones on the screen looked all very light.
I'm wondering about attempted robbery (they can't get past the screen) vs. my own girls getting confused about the entrance location because they can smell their queen's pheromones more coming out the top. Or whatever. Any thoughts?

Moist Australian watercolours
Introduction | Essay | Conservation | Selected works | Checklist
27 August – 4 December 2005
Moist is a rare glimpse into the National Gallery of Australia's collection of Australian watercolours. It highlights the extraordinary breadth and depth of the collection and is the Gallery's first collection-based exhibition of Australian watercolours.
Moist is not a history of watercolour painting in Australia. Instead it focuses on the liquid nature of watercolour, and how a diversity of artists have experimented with the medium to create unique representations of physical, emotional and atmospheric conditions, ranging from those that are highly figurative to images of a purely abstract emotional intensity.
The exhibition brings together 90 works from the colonial period to the present. Some are well-known treasures from the collection. Others will be exhibited for the first time. This is an eclectic group of works, with no restriction to style, size or motif. Each has its own story, yet there are common threads that draw them together.
Painted more than a century apart, the extraordinary still life watercolours of Neville Cayley, Mary Cockburn Mercer and eX de Medici share an artist's fascination for the minutiae of life. The intimate portraits of Thomas Griffiths Wainewright, Blamire Young, and Steve Cox are incredibly different in style, yet each reveals a sensitivity to the physical and emotional condition of the sitter. A reverence for their environment is manifest in the real and imaginary landscapes of Charles Conder, John Olsen and Rosslynd Piggott. So too, the contemplative abstract compositions of Gunter Christmann and Ian Friend leave us with a sublime and lingering memory.
John Lewin The South Head Lyllie of New South Wales 1810 watercolour Collection of the National Gallery of Australia more detail
Together these works provide another dimension to the art of watercolour painting in Australia and prove that the medium of watercolour has never lost its challenge for Australian artists.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › ultralight wood cutting / chopping / splitting solutions?
Nov 25, 2009 at 3:17 am #1242469
I originally wrote this for a bicycle touring mailing list, but thought it very appropriate to post here as well.
Can't believe how long the thread has gotten.
Can't believe how into it I've gotten. I guess the timing was just right and i honestly had never given this any thought before.
Figured I'd start a new thread just to clear the slate and refocus.
Here are my absolutely most creative ultralight options.
I will likely experiment with most if not all of them.
First, I must disclaim my intentions for this tool.
== my use case ==
Note that these suggestions are not aimed at cutting through 6" or larger logs though many of these options could.
My aim is processing dead, dry wood for my ultralight wood stove or on occasion a rudimentary fire.
i.e. http://hikinginfinland.blogspot.com/2009/09/gear-talk-trail-designs-ti-tri-inferno.html
or http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmeiser2/4079433096/
This wood processing tool like everything but water, shelter and my bike itself is non essential so I can and will really push the limits of lightweight just so long as it isn't dangerous.
Stove tasks mean processing mostly 2" logs or less, but potentially up to 4" logs by cutting them into short sections and splitting them so they burn cleaner and hotter.
Most wood processing for a rudimentary fire would simply be broken by leveraging logs between trees or breaking sticks under foot or across knee. Longer logs may even be placed across the fire to burn in half so the device really wouldn't be used for much more then enhancing fire making.
Key processing methods are:
1) sawing
2) chopping
3) splitting
4) batoning (can be used for cutting through a log and splitting)
The only thing I'd consider to light or small are things like a non-locking pocket knife which would be to small for anything but splitting tiny pieces of wood or whittling and to dangerous for use with a baton.
Devices should be tough but light, but all things do break. With non-essentials I have learned from ultralight backpackers to embrace and challenge this edge.
If it does break though it should do so in a safe, non-catastrophic way as is my approach to other non-essential gear. Bonus points if it can be easily repaired in the bush.
So, without further adieu, my most creative pics.
1) Pruning saw
Consulting the gram weenies on backpackinglight.com forums I found the Fiskars Pruning saw highly recommended.
BPlight forum: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=2033
$12 at target:
also sears:
advantages: weighs an amazing 3.5 oz., supposedly cuts really well, cheap, widely available, highly recommended, supposedly more efficient then chopping, blade should be tough and flexible but if it does break it's not likely to be dangerous
disadvantages: doesn't split, and split wood is essential for hot clean wood cooking stove, so will need to carry a decent knife to split some wood
There are many similar alternatives like the sierra saw that may be just as light or around the same weight.
Gerber 6.7oz, $11 http://www.rei.com/product/769770
Coughlan's pocket sierra saw, 2.5oz!?: http://store.everestgear.com/159067.html?productid=159067
(Coughlan's regular sierra saw is 5.5 oz)
You get the idea.
2) mini-hatchet / tomahawk / throwing axe
i.e. http://www.cabelas.com/p-0000253.shtml
First like a lot of tools here this has an interesting history and evolution I consider a plus.
It is simple, durable, can chop and split, can also be used with baton. Thus it covers pretty much all the bases.
A handle can even be easily improvised on the spot meaning it could potentially be carried sans handle.
It has the best chopping to weight ratio due light and long handle and wide blade.
It is potentially usable as a hammer, i.e. for driving stakes.
It is extremely versatile self defense tool / deterrent.
Comes in a variety of sizes, weights and handle lengths, though it's up to you to find the right combination. In fact I find it very cool that you can quickly experiment with different handle lengths weights and types. Doesn't penalize those that like to let the designers do the work but rewards those who like to make or perfect their own. (Would love suggestions if anyone has any experience!)
In addition the heads of tomahawks do bare some resemblance to an Eskimo Ulu knife which are superb kitchen knives do their chopping and slicing capabilities. Therefore it might well come in more handy for food preparation then one might think IF the blade is kept sharp and clean.
Though tomahawks are the most effective chopping and splitting tool ounce per ounce saws give you more cutting power per ounce then any chopping blade. i.e. small sierra saws way 2.5 – 7oz. Even the smallest tomahawks and axes weight 12-16oz.
Requires more skill and better aim then a broad bladed chopping knife. I.E. you can't get as vigorous with it.
Does not replace a knife.
safety / durability:
Using with a baton improves safety when splitting which is the most dangerous chore.
As vigour of chopping increases smaller head and longer handle make it more dangerous.
Handle is really the only thing that could break. Almost all are made of wood which is probably the most desirable for weight, durability and easy customization. Wood cracks very predictably and thus is unlikely to fail catastrophically and in a harmful manner. As with most products manufacturers likely air on the side of caution in making a heavier handle. If you fashion your own handle this becomes your responsibility. It is a bonus though that a new handle can be safely and easily improvised on the spot because of the simplicity of the design. All in all this is probably the most durable good on this list though far from the safest or the lightest.
3) Fiskars PowerGear Bypass Pruner / Fiskars Bypass Pruner
10oz: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5/R-100086608/h_d2/ProductDisplay
16oz: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5/R-100046021/h_d2/ProductDisplay
advantages: uses simple hand power, extremely energy efficient, good for cutting & splitting wood for small stoves, like scissors may have many other uses, like food preparation, cutting rope
disadvantages: has a max log size, may fatigue hand rapidly, can't find one lighter then 10oz which isn't actually that light.
saftey / durability: extremely safe and durable but some attention should be paid when splitting a piece of wood at an angle or from the end.
Am still doing some research in this area if anyone has any better suggestions.
4) linoleum knife, possibly reshaped
4oz http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5/R-100146673/h_d2/ProductDisplay
advantages: extremely light, extremely sharp, extremely cheap, should split small wood easily, potentially usable with a baton to chop or split small wood, curved blade may be good opposing thumb to split small pieces of wood, also may be quite versatile as a whittling and food knife, meaning you may not need to carry another knife.
Comes in a variety of sizes. Plenty of blade material means blade could potentially be easily reshaped in a fashion more akin to a very small Sami / Leuku knife if preferred (though it'll never be a good chopper like the Sami / Leuku). Likely a good starting point to experiment with because they're so common on the market and cheap.
disadvantages: potentially could be to short or too light to baton, even with the baton will likely never chop wood in the round well, even with baton blade may be to thin or to short to split large wood
Safety / durability: while light the blades on these are wide and tough so they likely will not break easily. Furthermore the only time they are likely to break is when used with a baton which mitigates much of the danger since the blade is held well away from you.
note: comparable in weight to lightest pruning saws and drywall saws ironically they cut but don't split and this splits well but may not cut well. Potentially could be used in pair with one of these other options, but would likely opt for a more traditional knife if another tool was required in addition to this tool.
5) Plunge / drywall saw
6.4 oz: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=100647777
advantages: extremely light, made mostly for drywall I'm not sure if these blades will cut harder woods well
disadvantages: can't split at all
6) Replacement wood saw blade for Wyoming, bow or buck saw (BLADE ONLY)
This is an odd one but I believe it has much merit.
advantages: extremely light, extremely cheap, fairly easy to find, may be great as a piece of emergency gear.
Can be a first class saw capable of cutting large diameter trees quicker and more efficient then a heavy hatchet or chop knife (depending on one's skills)
Requires bushcraft skills. I consider the need for a bit of bush skill a plus as skills can be improved over time.
Good solution if you're doing day rides out of a base camp as it can be built and left at camp.
Good solution if you're touring in varied country and only using fire when traveling in some areas as it can be carried built for multiple days and then dismantled and only the blade kept and stored.
Though a bow saw can be improvised quite quickly an even more durable Buck saw can be improvised with a simple pocket knife and some para cord. (On a side note the best way to improvise a buck saw would be to create a quick and dirty bow saw first and then use it to make a buck saw.)
disadvantages: seperate spliting device required. Even with practice and skill it takes a minimal amount of time to improvise a good bow saw. Might be a little tedious to break down and build up if you need it nigtly, might be a little bulky to carry without breaking down.
These types of blades tend to bind fairly easily. carrying WD40 or other lubricant might be necessary.
Not for those not interested or to impatient for bush craft or camp skills. Skill in crafting a strong and heavy bow would be essential.
Safety and durability: Overall as a class these types of saws are much safer then axes or chopping knives. However, since you're making the device mostly this falls under the disclaimer, "device durability and safety depends on the skill of the maker and operator."
I can say these types of blades are very durable on the whole but also very sharp and quick to cut skin. Because of their aggressive cut they are prone to binding unexpectedly so special attention must be given to the durability and strength of the bow or buck saw in case the blade does bind.
Shoddy workmanship or improper materials are probably more likely to get you hurt by being hit from a broken bow or buck saw then cut from the blade itself.
(On a side note: A longer bladed saw would actually be safer in this respect as it the bow and blade can absorb more inertia from your arm if it binds. Long even strokes are always preferred with this type of saw and since you're not adding much weight just carrying a blade it behoves you to get a fairly long one.)
A week bow or buck saw could break or cause the blade to break, hop or spring out of control. But just as long as second hand is placed well away from cutting area, the saw is used with arms relatively extended, and strokes are long and steady cutting injuries shouldn't be an issue.
Again, beware the short bow saw. They're the most unsafe and inefficient. People get to cutting to vigorously and that's when the injuries happen.
What's more these blades can often be bought in a protective sheath, and if to long to fit in a pannier they can be velcro'd or strapped someplace safe and out of the way on your bike frame… i.e. your down tube, head tube, chain stay, seat stay or front fork blade. Best of all they might even fit in your seat post / seat tube for safe and convenient access. (Also a good place to carry spare spokes).
== some other options I've been looking at ==
1) pocket / hand chain saw
advantage: extremely light and compact, can be made into an improvised bow saw very easily
disadvantages: despite claims many still question it's abilities compared to chopping tools and other saws.
2) wyoming saw / sven saw / sawvivor
wyoming, 18oz: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7080142

I carry a BCB wire saw and a Mora Clipper for this purpose. About 5 ozs total. The trick to the wire saw is to make a bow saw out of it first:

I carry a pocket chain saw for a section of local trail I maintain in my day pack all of the time. It's not perfect, but it's very functional. The link below is a video of one in use:

Karl – How much does your pocket saw weigh?
JackNov 25, 2009 at 7:00 am #1547980
We used to make lunch fires every day, when I was a Forest Service worker and never cut or split wood that I can remember. We had the tools on our vehicles when opening access roads each spring, but, we simply collected "squaw wood", the dry under branchs from trees beside the road and built out fires which worked very well.
I have axes, hatchets, saws such as those mentioned here and many knives, including a couple that can be used to "baton" wood. To me, packing any of these, except when hunting and seldom then, is just a lot of extra weight I do not need on my back.
I have a folding Kifaru stove and it works just fine with unsplit twigs and larger pieces and I collect these by breaking them off trees so that I do not leave signs of human passage/activity in wilderness areas. I enjoy a campfire, where I can obliterate all traces of it before hiking on the next day, but, I am not packing a hatchet to make this happen.
It seems to me that "light" backpacking should include LNT principles and also be about learning how to adapt to the ambient conditions with the least amount of gear, YMMV.Nov 25, 2009 at 7:15 am #1547985

In winter when I build fires I use a gerber folding saw. It may not be the lightest but is makes small work of 4-6 inch logs. I could care less about the weight because the saw is amazing and efficient and relatively light.Nov 25, 2009 at 7:20 am #1547988
a small sturdy fixed blade should be all that is needed for 99% of backpacking wood needs. as mentioned, most often fuel can simply be collected, when that's not the case or fuel is wet (and you need to get to the dry)- a small, sturdy fixed blade will do the trick- it will whittle to get you to the dry stuff, make fuzz sticks, perform light batoning/splitting (along w/ numerous other knife duties)
there are a lot of nice fixed blades that fall under 5 oz (some approaching half that)- Mora, Fallkniven, Bark River and numerous reasonably priced customs that would fit the bill
The one I settled on is a custom Landi PSK- 2.6 oz w/ the thin scales (1/8")
this one is w/ the thicker scales (1/4")
I have a Gerber/Fiskars folding saw and can vouch it works well- I don't carry it backpacking, but it does go into my day/hunting/fishing pack.Nov 25, 2009 at 8:56 am #1548000
Yup, that little knife, a wire saw and an U/L multitool will do it ALL, if you know what you are doing. My last Elk was "taken apart" with a small folding knife and a wire saw and that included ALL of the meat, between ribs, neck and "tenderloins" included. That was two years of fine meat for my "cherub" and I and I never carry my Wyoming Saw or any of the dozens of cutting tools I collected over the years.
A fire is best built "long and skinny" to match a stretched out human form, anyway and this is a far more "energy efficient" means of obtaining it's warmth that cutting, chopping, hacking and cussin' while you get your wood for your "picture perfect" campfire as seen in 1950s camping books…..
I am just finishing stacking two large Doug. Fir trees, cut into 20-30" rounds and full of knots for my fireplace. I grew up with wood heat and have cut my share of wood and these rounds cannot be split, yet, this knotty wood is THE BOMB for heating my old house. Do I sweat, grunt, curse and swing my 12 lb. hammer or 20 lb. maul to split it to fit the old fireplace…..hell, no, I am too old and smart for that, I cut it to fit both into rounds and then into chunks lengthways, using a Husky or Stihl.
Same principle applies, IMO, to campfires, I like mine 8 ft. by 2 ft. and this is the easy way in "big wood" country.Nov 25, 2009 at 9:37 am #1548013

Squaw wood is now considered off limits, at least in Region 6. Breaking off branches reduces wildlife cover and habitat. I just thought I should bring this up so anyone reading the previous post can be aware of this.
I have broken off plenty of branches in my time. But no more.Nov 25, 2009 at 9:38 am #1548014Nov 25, 2009 at 10:10 am #1548025
I have never been with the US Forest Service, I am a Canadian, born and bred and worked for the BCFS, the Alberta Forest Service, BC Fish and Wildlife Branch and consulting firms for many years from the mid-'60s to the mid-'90s. I still do the odd gig in the BC north and will be going to the Yukon this year for mineral exploration firms, however, I am a retired geezer and lifelong advocate of wilderness preservation and LNT backpacking.
So, with that clear, sorry, for my lack thereof, I would comment on the …wildlife habitat… generalization in your post. The taking of squaw wood will not impair and may well enhance wildlife habitat here and I have and would only do this in a region where the forest is both very dense and relatively "young", as in most of BC.
You really cannot transpose California conditions to BC, AB or other regions of Canada. You have a human population in Cal., that is roughly equal to that of ALL of Canada, which is the second-largest country on Earth. So, packing out human waste, campfire bans and other such measures are not neeeded here….but, being able to build a fire IS VERY important as being wet here, even in summer, will probably kill you and it happens frequently.
So, it is simply an adaptation to your specific environment and that was what I was trying to get across.Nov 25, 2009 at 11:09 am #1548043

The Fiskars saw is nice, but I like the Gerber-branded version of it without the extra carabiner thing. This saw plus a 4-5" Mora knife should be all you need. You can split the larger wood with the saw using this technique, although it doesn't work equally well with all woods:
(If I remember correctly, the guy who made this video is a former US Air Force survival instructor.)
Once the wood is small enough, you can split it by batoning the knife. Or, stick to smaller diameter wood and just use the knife.Nov 25, 2009 at 11:12 am #1548044
my luck w/ wire saws has been very poor, albeit it's a little dated too
what saw is pictured above?
Dewey what wire saw are you using?
the Gerber/Fiskar is a good saw, but obviously a wire saw would be lighter and less volume (if the it works that is :) )
thanksNov 25, 2009 at 11:13 am #1548045

I got them from eBay.co.uk, search for "wire saw." The store name is born survivor.Nov 25, 2009 at 11:58 am #1548063

Mike's solution makes the most sense to me. But if you really want to split wood, then maybe a cork screw approach makes sense. Get a really big screw with an eyelet, put a stick through it, and watch the other chunk of wood split. This won't work for a really big log, but neither will anything but an axe.Nov 25, 2009 at 12:30 pm #1548072
Gordon, was that actually your video you made? I actually looked at that. I didn't find the performance of my cord saw useful, even with a bow. But i may try a hand chain saw using the exact same theory.
On the top of my list though is to just carry an 18" bow saw blade and use the same technique to improvise a bow saw or buck saw as mentioned above. Thanks for the inspiration.Nov 25, 2009 at 12:34 pm #1548073
Karl, have you ever tried improvising a bow saw with that hand chain saw?Nov 25, 2009 at 12:35 pm #1548074
any chance you could put one of yours on a scale?
Sure, it weighs 11 g but I keep two ear plugs in the plastic bag so the true weight is probably 10 g. :-)Nov 25, 2009 at 12:37 pm #1548075
Mike, I don't know what brand it was as the chap I was with had it and we just used it to cut off the skullcap adn antlers, which is mandatory here in BC. I would just buy a couple and keep them handy, one with my hunting pack and one at my vehicle, air base camp or boat.
The only reason I would carry one is to cut off skullcaps and I have built hundreds of fires without any tool and expect to continue.
IF, I really felt the NEED for a tool to build fires, I would carry a Grandfors Bruks, Wetterlings or Iltis Oxhead "forest axe" with a 1.5 lb head and 24-26" helve on the outside of my pack and this is, IMO, the only axe type tool worth packing if you need a lot of serious fires.Nov 25, 2009 at 12:42 pm #1548076
A cord saw was my first instinct, but I like others have not found one that works satisfactorily.
I may be tempted to keep experimenting though if there's some consensus on the group about a particular brand that is best.
This cammando saw looks like it will cut more aggressive.
Is there anyone else whom recommends it?
Is there any other wire saw people have had particularly good luck with?Nov 25, 2009 at 2:11 pm #1548095

My "Pocket Chainsaw" is listed at 3.28 oz/93 gm. I have not tried it as a bow saw as it works fine the way it is. I ususally use it to clear small (less than 6 inch) blowdowns from the trail. I have been very happy with it. I have the "military" version which has a small nylon pouch to keep it in. It is available with nylon handles, but mine just has loops of nylon cord that work fine for what I do. Here is a link to a comparison of a wire saw and the pocket chainsaw (the same model I have)

Here is my solution for a light weight folding saw. I modified one of the Japanese Silky "Pocket Boy" Folding Saws. It started out weighting 6.6 ounces and when I was finished it weighed 1.68 ounces. This saw is "Wickedly" sharp.
The clip is to hold the folding saw upright so I could take the picture.Nov 25, 2009 at 4:34 pm #1548134

In my Ski Patrol fanny pack I carry a Gerber Switchblade folding lockblade saw. It's PROPOSED 1st aid use is to saw off a branch upon which an unlucky skier may be impailed!! Hope that never comes to pass but we're asked to carry them just in case.
I've used it to trim branches for my hunting treestand shooting lanes. Works well for that purpose as it's easy to use one-handed.
BUT… I'd never cary a saw for summer backpacking.
For winter camping WITH A WOOOD TENT STOVE I'd cerry the Gerber or maybe even my folding, triangular Sven saw.
I plan to be using a Caldera Cone W/ Inferno conversion for wood burning this spring. Don't need a saw for that stove.

Sandy forces Romney, Obama to cancel Va. rallies
RICHMOND, Va. - Hurricane Sandy has prompted the two presidential campaigns to cancel scheduled events in Virginia.
Mitt Romney's campaign said it was cancelling scheduled Virginia appearances Sunday at Haymarket, about 35 miles west of Washington, D.C., and in Richmond.
Also, The White House said President Barack Obama would be returning to Washington to monitor Sandy's progress after an event in Ohio and thus cancelling a planned northern Virginia event. Obama had planned to attend a rally Monday in Prince William County with former President Bill Clinton.
Romney's campaign had already canceled its rally in Virginia Beach because of concerns about interfering with public safety efforts as the massive storm approaches the mid-Atlantic. It was to have been the last of three Romney events Sunday.
Vice President Joe Biden scrapped a Virginia Beach event Saturday from his plans, but held a scheduled rally in Lynchburg.
Polls show Romney and Obama about even in their bid for Virginia's 13 electoral votes.

Raw: Key distances Govt from Telecom cuts
11:28 AM Monday Feb 25, 2013
The Prime Minister distanced himself from news that Telecom will slash hundreds of jobs as it seeks to reduce costs across its business. "Telecom is going through it's own set of issues," he said. A decision to cut jobs by the telecommunication giant's new chief executive was "not really an issue in any way related to the Government," Mr Key said.

My husband just heard that Youtube may start charging for viewing videos. Up until now it has been a free internet service. They may even start running ads to frey costs. Oh darn!!!!!
Well, now that they have everyone hooked, they can begin charging a fee because most skating fans won't want to give up the pleasure they get from watching their favorites. Kind of like the cable companies giving you 3 free months of the premium channels so they can hook you and you will continue to recieve them and now pay for them. It is a marketing game---and it works.
That would annoy me intensely. A lot of the really old videos on youtube are clips that I made from my own collection. I haven't got a problem with others uploading them but why should I pay to watch my own clips?
Besides you can all get them for free at fsvids to download and keep forever.
Well rinkside is still free...get all the vids you want.
I thought rinkside was down or something. It stopped working a while back I think...(then I stopped using it)
I wonder if GS could grab on to this some how. Film Recasts of Skating.

Probably have to keep the hand out of that to be safe though. Run the same disclaimer that YouTube did. Maybe join "forces" with Rinkside or expand the T.T Arena. ???? trying to be discrete.
This also reminds me of the idea for downloading routines on a pay per download. I know the whole thing here is "free" is better. But say, 10 cents for a SP and 50 cents for an LP. And if you wanted one with no commentators pay a buck? Ah, just a wish. Not likely. Probably have to be more money with some due to the Music and the rights there in. Some of the music is royalty free though...pipe dream SeaniBu.
Personally with all the "types of people" that were associated with placing vids there, it was something FS was better off finding it's "own home" IMO. "Blade on Ice Sports Only Videos." That I would like. JAT. It was inevitable with YouTube anyway, the advertisements were slim to none. Pretty much new that was going to happen.

I would be very wrong to make it a pay site. Youtube works so well because anybody can get on and view it.
If they have to start running advertisements before videos and on the site, fine.
That's so true , I never understood why they didn't - glad they didn't but wondered how they pay the bills?Originally Posted by Zuranthium
I'm no expect in Internet revenue, but I always wondered how You Tube supported itself.
I guess I suspected they might eventually allow promotion of a new TV series or movie on its site. You know, log onto You Tube, watch a trailer for a hip new series, preview next week's episode of "show of the week," or the upcoming hot movie.
Who knows. Brighter minds than mine are surely working on a strategy to generate a long term, steady revenue without losing users.
Thanks for joining us, Just Wondering. Welcome to the forum.
can someone pls post the website for rinkside thanks

Looking for racing seat ideas?
Hi i am wanting to make a racing seat to be like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=N3PuFiyGoZU and i am wondering what ideas i could do to make it?
Re: Looking for racing seat ideas?
Start with cardboard (it's the cheapest and easiest to work with), and when you get a template, start building!

That's one of the coolest rigs I've ever seen (and it has a punny name to boot!), but I think you could make your own for way less money. I don't see how that could possibly cost $4000, or how a custom paint job would set you back an additional $1500. As MastrGT said, plan it out. Watch the videos on their site, look at their photo gallery, see how many elements you can "borrow" for your own design. It looks simple enough; just a few hinges, sliders, and wooden boards.
You can make one for waaaay less money. I got the racing seat for $35.00(real racing seat..lol) the rig i made out of pre-cut wood that cost me about $20.00 and brackets to put it together cost around $7.00.
Re: Looking for racing seat ideas?
You can try making one of your own. You can probably get a seat from a car from the auto salvage year fairly cheap, and then improvise the rest. Bolt together some metal tubing with stop nuts or lock washers, and you'll have a racing seat.
Re: Looking for racing seat ideas?[ Edited ]
I'm and old fart. (51 going on 21)
So for me all the Game seats have one major problem.. The are too darn Low to the ground..
If I sat that low, I'd never get up out of that seat..
So when I put together my rig, I made a 2' x 2' platform 15" high, so when I mounted the seat on top, it was at 24" to the seat height.
Makes it easy for me to sit in it, and later, get up out of it.
On the same token, I had to have a platform for the Pedals.
So my Seat to Pedal relationship is about the same, just raised up off the floor.
Something for you to consider if you're an old fart like me.
This is what I started with. A seat from a U-Pull-It salvage yard $25 about $50 of lumber and hardware. A folding table. I already had the wheel..
Re: Looking for racing seat ideas?

I borrowed your design to make a mock up of a foldable coffee table version. I think your cockpit could be used as a good starting point!
You would just have to add a couple of hinges on either side of the seat section, a board behind the seat for a table top, a base board at the foot of the cockpit, and a hinged wheel support board. When folded, the green board would be on top, and the red board would fold down to where the pedals are.

Hef's Movie Notes: The Nightmare Before Christmas
Hef introduces Tim Burton's yuletide classic.
Tonight: Tim Burton's yuletide classic The Nightmare Before Christmas.
In the early 1980's, Tim Burton was an animator at Disney. One day he happened by a retail store display where they were taking down the Halloween merchandise to replace it with items promoting Christmas sales. It was so jarring to see the contract between Santa Claus and ghosts and goblins that Burton's imagination began to go wild.
After reading the poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas," and viewing the TV specials How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, he wrote a three-page poem that became the basis for this film.
At the same time, Burton was also making a series of unusual pictures, including Pee Wee's Big Adventure (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989) and Edward Scissorhands (1990).
Burton had planned on directing Nightmare, but was busy, instead helming Batman Returns.
Consequently, Henry Selick was assigned to direct, owing to his expertise in stop-motion animation, and his feeling for German expressionism.
Production began August 1, 1991 and did not conclude until June of 1993.
More than 100 people were required to do all the animation required.
To produce even one second of film, as many as 12 stop-motion moves had to be made. It took an entire week to get one minute of film! The completed movie cost almost $20 million.
Nightmarewas originally intended as a Disney release. But Disney CEO Michael Eisner deemed the picture "too dark for kids" and issued the picture under the company's Touchstone logo.
In 2006, however, Nightmarewas reissued in 3-D with the Disney label.
Vincent Price was supposed to provide the voice of Santa Claus, but his wife had just died and this created health problems for Price, himself.
His voice came across as too weak and frail, so Burton recast the part with Chris Sarandon.
Paul Reubens ("Pee Wee Herman") provided the voice for "Lock." And Catherine O'Hara, from Second City TV is "Sally."
The Nightmare Before Christmas premiered on October 9, 1993 at the New York Film Festival.
An ad line announced: "A ghoulish tale with wicked humor and stunning animation."
Variety proclaimed: "The dazzling techniques employed here create a striking look that has never been seen in such a sustained form before, making this a unique curio that will appeal to kids and film enthusiasts alike."
Kenneth Tynan declared, in the L.A. Times: "The Nightmare Before Christmas displays more inventiveness than some studios manage in an entire year."
Peter Travers reported, in Rolling Stone: "An animated fun-house for eek freaks of all ages. This dazzling mix of fun and fright explodes the notion that animation is kid stuff. It's 74 minutes of timeless movie magic. This one has the power to truly haunt your dreams."
The picture received an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects.
The score by Danny Elfman (from the group "Oingo Boingo") was nominated for a Golden Globe. (He sings his own composition as "Jack Skellington.")
Also, elsewhere, Elfman has four Oscar nominations, an Emmy award and one Grammy. He wrote the Simpsons and Batman themes. He is married to Henry Fonda's granddaughter, Bridget.
With all the annual reissues, the box office gross now comes to over $174 million. Establishing it as a solid contemporary cult classic.
In 2001, Disney wanted to do a sequel, but employing computer animation, instead of stop-motion.
Burton argued against it. "I was always very protective of Nightmare, he said. "Not to do sequels or things of that kind, (that might cheapen it), just because I felt the movie had a purity to it and the people that like it (that way)."
So now–from 1993—Tim Burton's
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Plus an Academy Award winning Tom & Jerry cartoon.

Last winter, researchers at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) discovered that moose in the far north state are dropping like giant, gangly-legged flies—declining at the speedy rate of 35 percent between 2012 and 2013. In addition to tangles with the state's booming wolf population, studies showed that moose are also suffering from blood-draining ticks, brain-eating worms, climate change, and disease.
In response to the discovery, the DNR has closed its moose-hunting season for the first time in decades.
But researchers in another country halfway around the world are finding that the moose there are also suffering their own abuses. During the spring of 2007, scientists in Norway found that moose living in the northeastern corner began losing their coarse brown hair, leaving them looking like enormous, horned and naked mole rats (minus the buck teeth; plus the dulaps). Hunters, scientists, and tourists all puzzled over the sudden nudity. But later that year, a verterinarian named Madslien Knut discovered why the poor "swamp donkeys" were under attack. The culprit: a particularly nasty fly called the deer ked.
According to a story in On Earth magazine, deer keds drink blood. To get it, they crawl out of the ground and land on moose and deer. Once settled, they lose their wings, burrow into the flesh, and start sucking. While feasting, they meet often other deer keds doing the same; then mate and propagate. Unlike other bugs, deer keds produce only one larva at a time. But those singluar babes immediately begin burrowing into their host's skin. Once the larva pupates, it "hops off the moose and holes up in the soil where someday it too will turn into a winged adult," reports On Earth.
This is all tolerable when deer keds living on moose retain their "normal" numbers of 3,500. But in her study, Knut discovered Norwegian moose infested with 6,000 to 16,500 deer keds. "The researchers aren't positive why more deer keds would correlate with pathological hair loss," reports On Earth, "but they have some theories. Perhaps the excessive number of parasites feeding 15 to 20 times a day is simply too much for moose skin to handle, resulting in a widespread inflammatory reaction. Or maybe that many bug bites alters blood flow in some way that negatively impacts hair papillae. In any case, whatever was happening to the moose was more than a cosmetic problem."
On Earth says that Knut never came to any conclusive answers, but determined that the parasite boom may have had something to do with unseasonably warm temperatures in Norway. The year preceding the great moose balding, Norway had its highest temperatures since record-keeping began in 1940. Researchers reportedly believed that an unseasonably warm summer and autumn preceding the breakout allowed more pupae to live to adulthood. Moose in Minnesota aren't experiencing hair loss, but their rapid decline—a whopping 52 percent loss since 2010—has researchers at least as worried as Knut was.
According to the DNR's website the die-off is puzzling for a number of reasons. So far, they've attributed it to everything from brain-tunneling parasites to higher average temperatures. Earlier this month, journalist Jessica Benko went out with DNR researchers on a moose-tracking mission, during which her team found a dying moose that they put out of her misery. One researcher said the job never got easier but that the current moose crisis demands such action.
The Minnesota DNR never returned TakePart's calls for an interview. But Benko reports that researchers are finding disturbing reasons for the moose die-off. She writes that they discovered "a dizzying array of parasites and pathogens," in moose brains, "including one that scientists have yet to identify.
"Four percent of the moose brains had healed-over tracks from brainworm," Benko continued, "which can cause death if the worm burrows through critical tissues of the brain. Another ten percent had brain lesions of unidentifiable origins. Thirty percent had cysts in their livers from Fascioloides magna, giant liver flukes that can grow up to three inches long and migrate elsewhere in the body." And more than 30 percent tested positive for either West Nile Virus or West Nile's so-called "evil twin," Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
To make matters worse, rising temperatures also seem to be affecting the moose. As Benko writes, "the Minnesota researchers have also found that rising temperatures correlate to higher mortality rates in both the state's northwestern and northeastern moose."
It remains to be seen if higher temperatures really are critically affecting moose survival. If yes, the Norwegian and American moose remind us that there is no end to the permutations in which the effects of climate change come to be felt, even within a single species.

Maine Veterans For Peace representatives were allowed to march in Portland's Veterans Day parade this year, after a brief round of phone calls (including to and from the Portland Phoenix office) in which the peace activists were concerned parade organizers at the Harold Andrews Post of the American Legion would not let them participate.
As is true for all groups marching in the parade, they were not allowed to carry signs beyond a couple of banners identifying the group. (Andrews Post parade organizer Joe Rich told the Phoenix that policy stemmed from an attempt by Tom Allen to carry political signs in the parade some years back; indeed, this year while Chellie Pingree and several local politicians marched, none carried signs with their names.)
The VFP's signs had caused problems in the past, including in 2006, the last time this low-level dispute flared up.
This year, they marched led by a "Maine Walk for Peace" sign, because the parade route was the last leg of a walk across a section of Maine - starting in Farmington - led by a group of Buddhist monks and nuns.
Next year, VFP organizer Dud Hendick said, they'll ask for a seat on the raised dais at City Hall and time to speak at the ceremony after the parade.

I really feel people on this board can't look past the fact that he was an UFA. If he had been a first round pick and put up the same numbers that he has, EVERYBODY would be like "PAY THE MAN!". But because the Giants gave him a shot, he owes the Giants a steep hometown discount. He's already given the Giants a steep discount by performing under his current deal. He deserves to get paid and the Giants will pay him.
$8 to $10MM seems way too high. WAY!!! to high.
He's a very good player but I see a tad less than that.
Maybe 4 years, 25MM, or something like that.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
If that's what Cruz is asking for than WR just became a need.
cruz will be signed, he'll probably provide a bit of a hometown discount, but it'll be close to those figures above.
the organization sees his contribution as more than onfield, they see his work ethic as leading by example in the locker room (called out Randle during the year saying if he puts in the time and work, he'll see more playing time) , they see his public community service as a benefit to the organization's image and contribution to the NJ/NY area, and they see his professional handling of the contract situation as a great example to make for other players: if you act like Cruz, you've got a much better chance of getting the contract you want vs. going the Osi route.
Cruz will get his number, i think the organization sees his value as alot more than a replacable slot receiver.
Edit: Another reason why I'm more willing to let Cruz go is because we have Eli. We have the luxury of having a QB that can work with less talented receivers than say Arizona or Jacksonville.
Coulda shoulda woulda. No one knows for sure.

The apartment had all it needed and was located close to the center of Madrid. A Metro station was close by and gave the opportunity to travel easily around Madrid. After a day in Madrid, it was perfect to take a swim in the pool. The pool area was guarded and open from 12.00 to 21.00. Communication with the hosts Maria was prompt and precise and everything thing was worked very smooth. I will recommend this apartment to others going to Madrid. Martin

It was easy enough to check in though there were a couple of fees.
Enjoied a cultivated and comfortable stay; for us it was essential to have silence rooms in he middle of City - perfect! Uta

FEMA boots on the ground
Disaster Assistance
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo - Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA have boots on the ground to help homeowners, renters and business owners deal with the effects of the September 11th flooding in El Paso County.
Four FEMA teams will be at the Disaster Assistance Center which is at the Cañon School at 1201 West Cheyenne Road to answer questions and help get the ball rolling for money help for disaster relief. Four other FEMA teams will be going door to door to do the arduous task of assessing the damage to homes, businesses and property.
Renee Bafalis is with FEMA. She told me that despite the damages to property and the emotional damage that families are feeling, "These communities are very strong and I know they will come back."
Colorado Springs Fire Chief Chris Riley agrees with that assessment of those hit hard by flooding, "I'm feeling for the victims of this because it is overwhelming. I'm very sorry for the community that's suffered this devastation."
Up to 32-thousand dollars of FEMA grant money will be available based on need, insurance or lack of it and other factors. The ball is now in your court to get the process rolling. You need to register to see if you can take advantage of the money. The phone number to call is 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). There is also an online page to register. You can see the link to it on Links We Mentioned.
