We arrived in Yosemite in the gathering dark, lowering fog and freezing rain and absolutely hadn't accounted for how busy it would be - it was already mid-September, for goodness sake! We'd opted to head for the more remote, higher and colder eastern side of the park in Tuolomne Meadows but even over here all the campsites were full. Luckily Sarah was able to sweet-talk the host of the campsite into letting us camp on the edge of a 'closed campsite'; there was a massive puddle which would have been a problem in an American-style huge RV camper but didn't pose any issues for our tiny tent
It was also our first experience of camping in bear country and all of the mucking about this entails. You have to put all food, toiletries, chewing gum or anything at all with a nice smell that the bears might associate with food in a bear-proof locker next to your campsite and be very careful to clean up after eating and put every last speck of rubbish or food in a bear proof bin. There were pictures everywhere of cars that have had their doors ripped off and the insides gutted or completely shredded tents to deter you from cutting corners. Sure enough early our first morning we awoke to the sounds of our neighbours in the campsite banging pots and pans and shouting trying to scare off a big one-year old black bear that had come snuffling right around our tents.
Anyway, we were in the park because we wanted to get ourselves a back-country permit to hike for a few days out from the meadows and across much of the breadth of the park to the main Yosemite Valley, hopefully climbing the famous Half Dome mountain on the way through
After a last minute provisions run back down into the nearest town (having realized we had no toilet paper or plastic bags to keep our stuff dry - a major problem as the weather forecast looked dodgy to say the least) we had time for a short climb up a nearby mini-dome to get a taste for what hiking Half Dome might be like before another arctic night spend shivering in our summer tent. It was not fun getting out of our sleeping bags in the morning to pack up the tents with numb hands in the early morning
Having not hiked with a full pack of camping gear since South America we had forgotten just how much harder it is with a extra 15kgs on your back and found the first few miles of climbing really quite tough. By the time we stopped for a break at the top of the first big pass though we realised that we were moving at quite a pace and perhaps slowing a little would be allowed! We passed around the spectacular Cathedral peaks and went past beautiful and empty alpine meadows, once again marveling at the lack of people around. We saw maybe 2 or 3 people total all day and didn't pass anyone coming the other way until an hour before we camped, despite how manically busy the rest of the park had been. Whatever you say about the US National Park Service (Bill Bryson, whose travel-comedy books we had been listening to on the drive, has a particular beef with them) it is amazing that you can turn up, grab a permit for a few dollars and head off into clearly signposted and utterly untouched areas like this even in one of the busiest national parks of all.
We had set out early because the weather had been much nicer in the mornings than the afternoons and we wanted to get as close to Half Dome as possible before camping so that we could be up it early the next morning before the crowds arrived from the other side of the valley later in the day. Happily having made good time by 4pm we were able to set up camp on a rocky hillside with a fantastic view of Half Dome sticking up ahead of us - just as a great mass of black clouds was starting to gather behind us and make ominous rumbling sounds
When you are out backpacking in bear country it is compulsory to take a bear canister; basically a big thick plastic can with a screw on lid. You then have to squish all of your food, rubbish and smelly stuff into and then leave it a little bit away from your tent at night so you don't get any large, hairy, rather scary visitors in your tent. In the night, we woke up at one point thinking we heard some rather alarming snuffling right outside the tent. We shook it off and told ourselves to stop being paranoid and went back to sleep. When we woke up in the morning the bear canister had been visited, examined and left about 50 yards away from where we had left it (the Yosemite bears have learnt to check that they're properly locked). Gulp.
We had set the alarm for a perhaps rabidly early 5:00am and after grabbing a day pack and quite a lot of shining torches all around the campsite looking for lurking dark shapes, we set off in the dark towards the summit of Half Dome, still checking the shadows. Happily the last night's storm as bad as the weather got and it was a gorgeous day. We expected to join a queue of similarly keen hikers with headtorches winding their way slowly up the path towards the famous chain climb up the exposed face of Half Dome but there was no one around. We couldn't believe it. It was a fairly tough 1000m or so vertical climb from where we had camped but we didn't really notice as we were excited and full of adrenaline the whole way up because as the sun came up it became apparent that it was a going to be a beautiful start to the day and it was looking like we would be virtually the only people on the top
The chain climb itself was fantastic – hauling yourself up the very steep (nearly vertical is some places) rock face pulling on the chains staring up into the bright blue sky and then finally coming over the top onto the dome itself is a highlight of our whole trip we won't forget in a hurry. Credit again to the US Park Service for making such a beautiful and spectacular place accessible to virtually anyone, they even had a whole bunch of gloves at the bottom to help you pull yourself up the chains - amazing.
At the top, there were only 3 other people who had been up there for sunrise and left pretty much as we arrived, leaving us with the whole of Half Dome and the stunning views of the Yosemite Valley below and the mountains we had come across behind. It was amazing. After wandering around the top and taking a lot of photos on various precarious looking rocks, we settled down with a breakfast and watched the light get brighter as the sun moved across the valleys and the colours changed all around us. We assumed that the hordes would be arriving any minute. They didn't. We spent a full hour and a half up there on our own without another soul. Unreal. Finally people started to arrive and, after getting one of them to take a photo of the two us, we headed on down, passing the crowds of people that were finally starting to arrive
We had a few miles of backtracking to go and pack up the campsite and donning our packs and heading on. The walk down from Half Dome and into Yosemite Valley surprised us in many ways. Although we had been expecting an average stroll down it was a beautiful walk down through meadows and fields, then down into canyons and past two huge waterfalls and into the deep valley itself - only slightly ruined by increasing crowds as we hit the valley. It was also a fairly rugged decent, particularly with a big backpack and was definitely a knee-cruncher, as the hordes heading up the hill from the valley were clearly discovering. By the time we got to our campsite we were utterly knackered after two long days but had enough energy to get ourselves to the shower block and then the bar for a couple of, we felt, well deserved beers. We had after all covered 35 miles and goodness knows how many vertical metres in two days of hiking with all our camping gear. And what a hike it had been.
The next day, after a very good nights sleep in the relative warm of the valley, we caught the daily shuttle bus from Yosemite Valley back across the park to Tuolomne Meadows and found The Tank, thankfully, unmolested by bears. We then drove all the way back again and up around to the other side of the valley to do a short 2 hour walk to stretch our aching legs taking in Taft Point, an awesome ledge sticking out a 1000m or so above the valley floor, and the Sentinel Dome, a small and accessible dome that nevertheless had fantastic views back to Half Dome and the hills behind. We sat and enjoyed lunch looking out at Half Dome and the route we had taken the previous 2 days feeling pretty happy with our Yosemite experience. But now it was time to head on for another hot shower and a proper warm bed!

Are you tired of punching the clock for someone else, but think you can't find another job at your age? Are the kids out of the house, freeing you to re-enter the job market? Are you nearing retirement, but don't know what you will do with all that free time - or wonder how you will manage once you retire?
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and AARP are launching a strategic alliance to provide counseling and training to entrepreneurs over the age of 50 who want to start or grow a small business. For many Americans born between 1946 and 1964, retirement has a very different meaning than it did a generation ago. According to a USA Today/Gallup poll, 63% of American adults plan to work in retirement; two-thirds say enjoyment of work is the key reason. With years of valuable work experience, maturity, and plenty of energy at their disposal, today's older workers are increasingly finding financial and personal fulfillment in running their own small businesses.
Through SBA's online training courses and its nationwide network of business mentors and counselors, the two organizations expect to train 100,000 "encore entrepreneurs," men and women over 50 who are starting or running a small business.
SBA has set up a dedicated web page for Americans over the age of 50 featuring: an online self-assessment tool that will help potential small business owners understand their readiness for starting a business as well as information to help with business planning, shaping a winning business idea, professional counseling, financial services and information to find local resources in your area. The web page can be found at: http://www.sba.gov/content/50-entrepreneurs.

Dilantin Infatabs FDA Prescribing Information: Side Effects
(Adverse Reactions)
Central Nervous System: The most common manifestations encountered with phenytoin therapy are referable to this system and are usually dose-related. These include nystagmus, ataxia, slurred speech, decreased coordination, and mental confusion. Dizziness, insomnia, transient nervousness, motor twitchings, and headache have also been observed.
There have also been rare reports of phenytoin-induced dyskinesias, including chorea, dystonia, tremor and asterixis, similar to those induced by phenothiazine and other neuroleptic drugs.
A predominantly sensory peripheral polyneuropathy has been observed in patients receiving long-term phenytoin therapy.
Gastrointestinal System: Nausea, vomiting, constipation, toxic hepatitis and liver damage.
Integumentary System: Dermatological manifestations sometimes accompanied by fever have included scarlatiniform or morbilliform rashes. A morbilliform rash (measles-like) is the most common; other types of dermatitis are seen more rarely. Other more serious forms which may be fatal have included bullous, exfoliative or purpuric dermatitis, lupus erythematosus, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis (see PRECAUTIONS section).
Hemopoietic System: Hemopoietic complications, some fatal, have occasionally been reported in association with administration of phenytoin. These have included thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, granulocytopenia, agranulocytosis, and pancytopenia with or without bone marrow suppression. While macrocytosis and megaloblastic anemia have occurred, these conditions usually respond to folic acid therapy. Lymphadenopathy including benign lymph node hyperplasia, pseudolymphoma, lymphoma, and Hodgkin's disease have been reported (see WARNINGS section).
Connective Tissue System: Coarsening of the facial features, enlargement of the lips, gingival hyperplasia, hypertrichosis, and Peyronie's disease.

Bill Bright offered position of maintenance supervisor
Unapproved draft meeting minutes from the Fifty Lakes City Council meeting held in May show the council offered the city's vacant maintenance supervisor position to Bill Bright. The position was vacated by Eldon Lee, who retired April 30.
The draft minutes show Mayor Ken Hersey reported that the city received 32 applications for the position. The council conducted interviews with 11 candidates, then narrowed it down to three.
The council was unanimous in its decision to offer the job to Bright, whose first day was scheduled to be June 3, at a salary of $19.80 per hour plus benefits.
Bright was previously in a part-time maintenance position and has been with the city since 2010, said city clerk Karen Stern.
A farewell party for Lee will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, June 24, in the city pavilion. Lee had been with the city since 1998.
Draft minutes show the council agreed May 14 to pay Lee's accrued vacation, sick time and comp time in the amount of $2,407.56.
In other business May 14, the council:
• Applied $1,628 in timber sales and workman's comp refunds to the roads fund.
• Approved a renewal of the Golden Eagle Golf Properties, LLP liquor license.
• Approved Travis Orth to the fire and rescue department.
• Approved sale of a 1992 backhoe for $20,000.
• Planned to hold a meeting with Harlan Johnson regarding the city's health insurance plan and step system procedure.


text: Hello all. This was my first year beekeeping and we ordered our beehives from Kelly's. I am not at all happy with Kelly's and plan to buy the next beehives from Mann Lake. I was curious if anyone has had any experience with these two companies and if their equipment will interchange? Can I place Mann lake supers on top of Kelly's and they work just fine? Will the Mann Lake frames fit in the Kelly's boxes? Thanks in advance for any responses.

A huge swarm of insects over the North Island could be causing a mysterious band of activity on MetService's rain radar.
In a blog post on the MetService website, forecaster Peter Kreft said people looking at radar images between 7pm yesterday and 11.20am today could have been forgiven for thinking there was a lot of light rain over the northern half of the North Island and west of Auckland.
But apart from parts of Gisborne and Hawkes Bay, there was almost no rain over the North Island overnight.
Mr Kreft said they were not sure what was behind the radar image.
"But we strongly suspect the echo is swarms of insects. To show up in radar imagery like this, they must have some of the characteristics of precipitation particles: similar size, fairly numerous, enough water content (or perhaps coating)."
Similar radar echoes had been observed over the North Island, to a greater or lesser extent, on most evenings in February.
Mr Kreft said the weather over the North Island had been settled and very dry during this time.

So his method is not exactly evidence based-

Dystrophic lake, New Zealand
Lake Matheson in the South Island of New Zealand is an example of a dystrophic lake that is rich in dissolved organic carbon. Organic acids lower the surface tension of the lake's water, thereby contributing to the mirror-like surface and beautiful reflections.

Very quite and nice place to stay, great location, really near to nivah and the others attractions of Copenhagen!
Birgitte is so kind and she's got a little sweet home.
The room is quite small but clean and comfortable.
The location is excellent and right next to the beautiful Rosenborg Park.
The price is justified.
Beautiful and neat room, in an even more beautiful house. Brigitte was very kind en helpfull, and the housecat was awesome! The room is located ideally, everything was within walking distance. Would definately stay there again!
Very nice place! The room small but comfortable, the house old, but very well furnished. Close to the center and in a very fashionable district. Birgitte was nice and discrete. If you love cats there's Sofi to keep company.
Very nice stay. Cosy room. 5 minutes walk to the citycenter. Warm welcome. Sweet house cat. Room located at quiet courtyard. No problem to leave luggage before check in time or after check out time.
Nice and cozy flat. Very near to the centre of the City.
Everything was super and we had a pleasant stay.
Brigitte is very nice :) The room was cute and clean, the bathroom also. The location is great. We have visited the most things on foot. The rosegarden right outside the door invites you to linger. The Nyhavn is 10min by foot. The bus lines 26 and 6A and a supermarket are 150m close by the accomodation. So, everything was fine. We would come back :)

Steamboat Today editorial board — May to September 2014

Contact the editorial board at 970-871-4221 or email@example.com. Would you like to be a member of the board? Fill out a letter of interest now.
We support the city of Steamboat Springs' ongoing efforts to regulate and tax vacation rentals of homes, apartments and condominiums in an even-handed way that puts everyone on equal footing.
That's in stark contrast to Routt County's antiquated and haphazard method of pretending it doesn't know that it has regulations that ban nightly rentals until someone complains. The county's approach could be summed up as: "If your neighbor complains that you are operating a nightly vacation home rental, we'll draft a letter threatening to take you to court. But if the homeowner a mile away is doing the same thing and we're oblivious, that's fine with us."
The county's recent affirmation of its stance that bans vacation rentals, even in neighborhoods where a majority of residents could theoretically prefer the freedom to do so, strikes us as being downright quaint.
The members of homeowners associations can gather at their annual homeowners association meetings and revisit their covenants if they choose to. If the county would just permit vacation rentals, collect the taxes and use a portion to enforce the new regulations, everyone might be better off.
If people weren't free to rent their homes to vacationers from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to Seaside, Oregon, it wouldn't be possible to rent a beach home in America. The only option would be traditional hotel/motel rooms and stacked condos, when everyone wants to rent a cute beach bungalow.
As a practical matter, many Steamboat and Routt County residents already have learned that it can be the long-term tenants next door who create more of a disturbance than do people on vacation. There are long stretches of the calendar year when vacation homes are vacant and utterly peaceful.
There are only a handful of neighborhoods in unincorporated Routt County like historic Hahn's Peak Village where the housing density is such that neighbors can actually disturb one another. Stagecoach would strike us as being ideal for vacation rentals that overlook a state park with a lake and a marina.
In other subdivisions, the neighbors are acres away. It's safe to say that many rural homes in the county will be enjoyed this summer by vacationers gathering for family reunions, and no one will be the wiser. Renting a home is the best way to gather the extended clan for week full of big family meals.
Why aren't we collecting lodging tax from them to help support emergency response in those lightly populated areas?
What is most striking to us is that county government seems to be unaware of the growing legions of people who are either supplementing their income or saving on vacation accommodations even in the most desirable of destinations by renting directly from one another on the Internet.
The Steamboat Pilot & Today reported this week that this summer's vacation rental activity in Denver and Boulder through the Web booking page Airbnb is up by 300 percent. One could dismiss that as an urban phenomenon, but we know better.
If you haven't visited Airbnb, it's a cross between a social media and a transactional site. Some Airbnb landlords rent entire Italian villas, others rent a one bedroom within a single-family home, or a carriage house apartment. The latter is the modern equivalent of a boarding house. Remember those?
The social media aspect of this method of booking vacation lodgings is that travelers have the option of being hosted by outgoing locals — like Routt County locals, in their homes. It's a different and rewarding way to travel.
The behavior of Airbnb tenants and landlords alike is held in check by the online review system on the property's Web page — everyone involved desires a good rating.
Perhaps someday, the question of whether or not to allow vacation rentals of private homes in Routt County outside of Steamboat Springs will be put to a vote of the people. In the meantime, keep your heads down and be extra nice to your neighbors.

Two former repossession agents turned up to a Nelson man's farm demanding $140,000 after being ordered by a prison inmate to get back money he had buried in the rural backyard.
Terry Jones, Richie Clutterbuck and Leon Delshannon Turner were handed prison terms for their parts in the incident after a jury in the High Court at Christchurch last month found them guilty of blackmail.
In his sentencing notes, Justice Robert Dobson said Jones, 43, obtained permission from the Nelson farmer to bury some cash on his property.
The farmer did not know exactly how much money had been stashed, but it was likely to be in the range of $30,000 and $50,000.
After the cash was initially buried, sums of cash were added and removed.
The location of the money was meant to stay a secret, but others eventually became aware of its location.
During this time Jones was sent to prison and the farmer was one day pressed to dig up the money and deliver it to someone else.
Jones initially tried to pressure him from prison to account for the money, but eventually arranged for Clutterbuck, whom Jones met in prison and knew was to be released soon, to threaten him to get the cash.
Clutterbuck, 49, along with his driver Leon Turner, 37, went to the farmer's property demanding up to $140,000.
Turner and Clutterbuck had previously worked together as repossession agents for Loan Shop.
"I accept that you [Clutterbuck] did not raise your voice during the meeting. I accept also that the terms in which the threat was made were indirect. But those points do not deprive your conduct of seriously threatening character," Justice Dobson said in his sentencing notes.
It was eventually agreed that the farmer would lodge a caveat against his property to get $100,000 to Clutterbuck.
Victim impact statements from the farmer and his wife revealed the threats had been ongoing.
"I also accept that [the victim] was not a particularly vulnerable victim, but nor could he go anywhere near matching how heavy the presence of...Clutterbuck and Turner would have been in the rough and tumble of conduct where people were taking the law into their own hands and threatening physical violence," Justice Dobson said.
He said Jones was the initiator and nothing would have happened without his request to Clutterbuck.
He was sentenced to two years and six months' imprisonment.
Clutterbuck, who Justice Dobson said was the principal offender, was sentenced to two years and nine months' imprisonment.
Turner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment.

Playing with the Enemy, Gary Moore
WWII German POWs and Baseball ~ Quite honestly, not subjects this gal would usually pick for a read…I'm so glad I did and I encourage you to do the same. Don't just pick it up, give it as a gift this Father's Day weekend.Playing with the Enemy is truly a story about second chances, not only in baseball, but in life. It doesn't have the fairytale ending you may expect, but ultimately one much richer. Talking with Gary Moore, the author of Playing with the Enemy, was refreshing. He's a humble man who has honored his father by telling his secret life story. Imagine being a teenage boy, finding a letter in your dad's sock drawer proving he'd been signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates—and being sworn to silence—the subject never broached again until just before that father passes away.
Playing with the Enemy, is being produced into a movie by Gerald R. Molen (Schindler's List, Jurrasic Park, Rain Man) and Toby Moore (CSI: Miami, Law & Order), Gary's son, will play Gene Moore, Gary's father. Gary even gets to dabble his toes in acting and play the part of his grandfather. "It's become a conversation between generations," Gary says about the experience, "and I feel truly blessed."
Playing with the Enemy is not just about baseball. It's about redemption and relationships. Reading this book and hearing Gary's story from his own lips, encourages reflection of relationship. Don't let another day pass without telling your loved ones What You Need to Say…before it's too late.

My first thought is that they would have to cut down on the syrupy sugar level from their original root beer.
You've heard of hard cider. Now there's hard root beer.
The newest product from Sprecher Brewing in Glendale, home of award-winning beers and gourmet sodas since 1985, is an old-fashioned fermented root beer with 5% alcohol by volume.
According to a press release, the new root beer has "all the flavor and characteristics" of its regular root beer, melded with bourbon and oak flavors.
The hard root beer is packaged in 12-ounce bottles with a suggested retail price of $5 per four-pack. The initial release will be available at the Sprecher Gift Shop, 701 W. Glendale Ave., starting the weekend of Jan. 12 to 13, and at a small number of locations in Southeastern Wisconsin and Madison.

It was encouraging news a few weeks ago when the New Zealand-shot Evil Dead remake opened big at the US box office.
With horror films traditionally not hugely popular at the New Zealand box office (they often go straight to DVD), the relative overseas success of the film coupled with a local fan campaign has lead to the film receiving a small local theatrical roll-out.
I attended an early screening this week, and I was really looking forward to seeing if the film lived up to bold poster promise of being "THE MOST TERRIFYING FILM YOU WILL EVER EXPERIENCE".
The new Evil Dead film marks itself apart from the multitudes of other recent horror remakes by virtue of the fact that it was shepherded by the talent behind the original. Horror icon Sam Raimi, who directed all three original Evil Dead films before going on to mainstream success with blockbusters like Spider-Man and Oz: The Great and Powerful, produced the remake, along with original producer Rob Tapert and original star Bruce Campbell. The director is Uruguayan Fede Alvarez, who grabbed Hollywood's attention with his Panic Attack short on YouTube.
They all said ahead of time that they wanted to evoke the non-ironic scares of 1981 film with a pure unadultarated horror experience. So how did they do?
Well, I wouldn't say it's the most terrifying film I've ever seen, but it's definitely one of the most gruesome, and I spent an embarrassing percentage of the experience with my hands over my eyes.
The 2013 Evil Dead takes the framework of the original (five people at an isolated cabin accidentally unleash demons) and populates with different characters and an intriguing MacGuffin - they're all here so heroin addict Mia (Jane Levy from TV's Suburgatory) can go cold turkey with the support of her friends.
It's a pretty nifty set-up that satisfyingly explains why the characters don't all run away screaming when Mia starts acting all...demonic.
The last time Raimi himself directed a horror film it was 2009's Drag Me To Hell, which I consider to be one of the top five films of the last decade. It was my enthusiasm for this film that got me so excited for the new Evil Dead, and I'm happy to report that many of Raimi's horror filmmaking trademarks are in place - gleeful, cackling demons; a surfeit of liquid gru and of course the iconic "zooming through the woods" shot.
True to the filmmakers intentions, the film does not feature any of the black humour that defined Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, rendering this a pretty dour tale. But that doesn't mean the film isn't fun, or even some degree of wit - I was pretty much entertained throughout, even when I was covering my eyes.
But while there's a couple of effectively-applied shock cuts and some great classic horror imagery, the dread didn't get under my skin the way it did in Drag Me To Hell (or The Orphanage or even The Woman In Black).
Getting under the characters' skin, however, is a whole lot of glass shards; some broken hyperdermic needles and an electric carving knife, among other items. This is undoubtedly the grisliest mainstream film since the Saw and Hostel franchises petered out.
Cheeks are carved open; multiple limbs are inelegantly severed and gallons of lumpy blood are spilt. My overall squeamishness meant I couldn't watch most of the harsher scenes, but the audience I was with seemed to enjoy those moments.
Some of the US reaction to the film has accused it of pandering to the 'gorno' trend typified by the above mentioned franchises. The nastiness present in this film often outdoes those movies, but I never felt like Evil Dead was quite as exploitative as the 'torture porn' accusation suggests - the harm here is all technically self-inflicted. It's amazing what demonic possession can justify artistically.
The exterior scenes were shot at Woodhill forest, but the only real indicator it was made in New Zealand is the brief presence of a few reconisable local character actors in the opening prologue. That said, the finale bloodily recalls one of Peter Jackson's finest splatter moments while also evoking one of the original Evil Dead trilogy's signature motifs.
The Evil Dead remake is a nasty little genre effort that ultimately favours shock over atmosphere. It wasn't the nerve-shattering triumph I had hoped for, but it's definitely one of the better horror films of late, and you should take advantage of the local theatrical rollout if you're into this sort of thing.
If nothing else, it definitely proves that this kind of film hasn't been rendered redundant by last year's awesome genre deconstruction Cabin In The Woods. And to answer the question posed in the title of this blog - Evil Dead is indeed very very evil.
It's box office success suggests a follow-up, but I just wish Raimi would stop mucking around and finally make a Drag Me To Hell sequel.
Evil Dead is currently screening at the Embassy in Wellington and will play at Queen St and Sylvia Park theatres from April 25th.
Are you amped for Evil Dead? Worried about the gore? No more horror blogs for at least a fortnight! Promise! Comment below!

I look left after a while and somehow i can see that the border lights are now some 120 degrees to the left
Its the usual stupid formalities with the paperwork and a Mauritanian guy with a Mercedes with Spanish number plates is very anxious for us to follow him all the way to the capital, Nouakchott in the darkness. We don't trust him and avoid him. Its pitch black and we need somewhere to stay. I'm tired and my nerves have taken a beating. To make things worse we don't have radios. We decide to head down to stop at the first Auberge we see. I follow Jay down the road and i notice that approaching cars will flash their lights and indicate in the inside lane. Worse than Morocco.
We find a place after a good couple of kilometres in the middle of nowhere. While Jay is talking to the owners about prices some over anxious children approach the car and pester me. I'm really tired and stressed and cant really handle the situation well..We inspect a tent but choose a sheltered home with a corrugated roof. Its quite cosy actually. The owner kindly invites us for some mint tea
In the morning im greeted by the barren emptiness of the desert. We get ready to head off to Nouakchott. The owner, an elderly lady proudly shows us her little garden fenced off with a tall mud wall. She has everything growing in there and am surprised how she can manage to grow a selection of vegetables in the middle of the desert. There are carrots, turnips, onions, wild salad, tomato's etc. Quite a feat and no wonder she was so anxious to show us. She asks what the name for each plant is in English. We set off down the road and the sun is beating down. After a good few kilometres Jay suddenly pulls over and gets out with his camera. I'm wondering what the hell is going on! Its the Iron ore train again and we just manage to catch it.
Back on the road again and i cant help notice how green the desert is
Half-way down and we pull over. It turns out we are at the entrance to the biggest national park in the world, the banc d'arguin. Its a major stopping place for all birds migrating between the seasons. We ponder whether to take the chance and cross it halfway or drive down to Nouakchott and then attempt the next day. I'm quite reluctant to go unprepared but i decide otherwise. Im so glad i did...it actually turned out to be a major highlight of the trip. We fill all our water bottles from a tap at a nearby petrol station. I'm uneasy about its potability but there's a saying in the desert that says "don't refuse an offer of water in the desert as it may be your last".

New Guy....
I've been lurking here for a while, and I have to say, it's a great site, with great people!
I've been in IT for coming up on 10 Years - Mostly Network support, and Administration, nothing security related (no matter how much I tried to encorporate it into my tasks!).
I figured it was time that I actually created an account, and got to know some of the great people who frequent this place.
As I said, I don't have much Security experience, but I'm looking to change that, and will start researching which certification I should take first.
Anyways, Great site! I'm astonished at the collective brilliance of everyone here, and look forward to picking some of your brains in the future. Who knows, maybe in the near future, I'll be able to offer help to people who need it too!
Thanks to the Hosts for making this place possible

During the great American renaissance period in movies, Hollywood was in the hands of the counterculture, and filmmakers, many of them trained in the theater or under the hothouse pressures of live television, and excited by the modern classics that had come out of Europe in the '60s, experimented with the conventions of movie genres. It all began in the fall of 1967, when Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde, the first gangster picture with complex, sympathetic heroes, divided the critics (many found it morally repugnant) but made an immediate and deep connection with young audiences. They were entranced by its interplay of glamor and contemporary put-on humor, its tonal shifts, its take on the topics of celebrity and role playing, its realistic depiction of violence. Bonnie and Clyde opened the fall of my senior year of high school, and the following Monday morning it was the only thing my classmates and I could talk about. Everyone had seen it or had made plans to. My first college girlfriend told me that the weekend it opened in her town she saw it two nights in a row.
Penn flamed into the front ranks of American directors with the film's release, so it's easy to forget that at that point he already had a career. The fascinating Harvard Film Archive series "Arthur Penn, American Auteur" pays tribute to his early days as well as to the decade that followed BONNIE AND CLYDE (Sunday at 7 pm); it even includes one of his early television dramas, THE TEARS OF MY SISTER (Friday at 7 pm), from 1953. Penn divided his time between New York's TV studios and the Broadway stage, and those turned out to be his entrée to Hollywood. In 1962 he brought the William Gibson play THE MIRACLE WORKER (Monday at 7 pm), which he'd directed in New York, to the screen along with its original actresses: Patty Duke as the young Helen Keller and Anne Bancroft as her teacher, Annie Sullivan. His days in TV had taught him how to harness the energy of live performance for the camera: the electric performances of the two stars make Gibson's stripped-down dramatic text, a triumph-of-the-spirit drama about how a great teacher leads a soul locked away by blindness and deafness into consciousness, into an unforgettable emotional experience. Bancroft and Duke walked away with Oscars, and Penn had a new career.

Know Your Sales and Use Tax Rate
The sales and use tax rates vary depending on your retail location. A base sales and use tax rate of 7.25 percent is applied statewide. In addition to the statewide sales and use tax rate, some cities and counties have voter- or local government-approved district taxes. District tax areas consist of both counties and cities. There may also be more than one district tax in effect in a specific location. More than three-fourths of all businesses in the state are located, or do business, in areas with a district tax.
What tax rate do I use?
If your business is located in an unincorporated area of the county, you should generally collect the county sales and use tax rate. Generally, you must collect, report, and pay the rate for the district (statewide rate + county + city)on the sale of taxable items if you are engaged in business:
- At a business location within the district;
- With representatives in the district who make sales or deliveries into the district;
- Leasing merchandise in the district; or
- Selling or leasing vehicles, undocumented vessels, or aircraft that will be registered in the district.
It is not always possible to determine the correct tax rate based solely on a mailing address or zip code. We offer these tools to help retailers identify the correct rate:
- Visit our California City and County Sales and Use Tax Rates guide to find the most current tax rate for any jurisdiction in California.
- You can look up a tax rate by address
- Some cities offer an online database of addresses within their jurisdiction. Links to those databases are available on this webpage.
How will I know if a rate changes?
When a tax rate changes, the BOE notifies retailers by providing information in a special notice.

BOE special notices are also available at http://www.boe.ca.gov/news/news_and_events.htm#Special_Notices.
When do I begin charging the new rate?
When the sales and use tax rate changes in your city or county, your business must collect, report, and pay the new rate beginning on and after the effective date. Generally, district tax rates become effective on the first day of the next calendar quarter, at least 110 days after the adoption of the district tax.
What if I collect too much sales tax from my customers?
If you collect more than the amount of tax due, you must either return the excess amount to the customer or pay it to the state You may not keep it.
Where can I find more information?

- District Taxes and Delivered Sales (Publication 105)
The sales and use tax rate varies depending where the item is bought or will be used. A base sales and use tax rate of 7.25 percent is applied statewide. In addition to the statewide sales and use tax rate, some cities and counties have voter- or local government-approved district taxes. District tax areas consist of both counties and cities. There may be more than one district tax in effect in a specific location. More than three-fourths of all businesses in the state are located, or do business, in areas with a district tax.
What rate should I be charged?
If you buy an item from a business located in an unincorporated county area, you will generally be charged the county sales tax rate on your taxable items. If the same item is purchased in a city with an additional district tax, you will be charged that city's tax rate. If you purchase an item from outside of California for use in the city and/or county where you live, you owe use tax on that purchase. If you have not saved your receipts from such purchases, the Use Tax Lookup Table calculates how much you owe, and you can enter it as a line item when you file your income tax returns.
What happens if the rate changes?
You will be charged the sales and use tax in effect at the time of your purchase.

Report: Decline in Prices Will Spark Rise in Thermal Camera Shipments
Analysts expect un-cooled thermal security camera shipments to grow 25% within the next five years, due to the steep declines in average selling prices, according to IHS.
October 7, 2013
AUSTIN, Texas — Analysts expect un-cooled thermal security camera shipments to grow 25% within the next five years, due to the steep declines in average selling prices, according to IHS.
The research firm states that un-cooled thermal cameras are beneficial to the commercial security market, as the devices are able to see in complete darkness and cover wide areas. Additionally, the cameras are not affected by bad weather conditions or altering light conditions, and are well suited to video analytics.
Despite the advantages, un-cooled thermal cameras failed to make inroads within the commercial security sector because they are considered too expensive. Conversely, a new IHS report reveals that some companies have reported price drops in excess of 20% in recent years.
Analysts have credited the continued price decline to two factors: increased competition and new technology developments. In fact, the research firm expects increased competition from new manufacturers entering the thermal camera market to impact prices.
IHS predicts that within 18 to 24 months, traditional visible light camera manufacturers will have new and renewed interest in the un-cooled thermal camera market, prompting these providers to offer total video surveillance solutions on large-scale projects.
Currently, some companies have expanded their product ranges and have begun to offer lower priced entry-level products. The entry-level products would have lower specifications than some current products and are expected to be used to target new end-user markets that are not currently being serviced by thermal cameras.
With some military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan winding down, government funding for un-cooled thermal cameras has slowed, triggering some manufacturers with strong military connections to offer much less expensive thermal cameras to the commercial security market.
"However, the high price decline will mean that revenue growth will be limited for the next couple of years growing, before experiencing increasingly higher growth over this report's forecast period to 2017," IHS Market Analyst Oliver Philippou says.

text: Aight, you are probably wondering what the heck a Cylinder Index is, or what im on about. in a nutshell, your cylinder index is very simple, its the ratio of the amount of internal combustion cylinders, to your age. mines 15/25. 15 cylinders, and 25 years old. theory goes that it should be 1/1, one cylinder for every year you are old. leniency is given for younger among us. (like me lol) the closer you are to 1/1, the better. anywho, the details of mine is 8 in the truck, 6 in the car, and 1 from my pushmower. heres the rules. they must run, or you must intend for them to run within the next year. Project engines count, the 74 ford parked in the weeds that hasn't moved under its own power for 20 years, dosn't. lawnmowers, 4wheelers, leaf blowers and so on, all count. things like air compressors, while having a cylinder, don't have internal combustion, so they are out. just curious as to what some of our older members have tucked away. this is all for fun, don't take it serious. have fun.

Whataburger: What A Lineup!
(Oct. 10, 2011 - SAN ANTONIO) The Whataburger Patty Melt. The Chop House Cheddar Burger. The Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich. And yes indeed, the A.1.® Thick & Hearty Burger®. Whataburger's most beloved menu items have never before shared the spotlight, each reigning supreme for a limited time only before taking a bow and letting the next shine on center stage. But no more.
Beginning Oct. 10 at 3 p.m., the four beloved sandwiches will appear all day, every day, side-by-side on Whataburger's new All-Time Favorites menu. The only question for Whataburger fans now is: how to pick just one?
"Our All-Time Favorites menu brings together the legends, the items that we hear about from our customers all year long," said Rich Scheffler, Whataburger Group Director of Marketing. "In our restaurants, in email, on Facebook and Twitter, our customers ask: when are these favorites coming back and why don't we have them every day? This menu is, without a doubt, for them."
A.1.® Thick & Hearty Burger®
The news couldn't be better for fans of the A.1. Thick & Hearty. Retired in 2009, fans have never stopped campaigning for its return. The burger, first introduced in 1998, features two fresh, never-frozen, 100 percent American beef patties, topped with bacon, cheese, grilled onions, and of course A.1. Thick & Hearty Steak Sauce, served on Whataburger's signature five-inch bun. It boasts its own fan club, Facebook page and support group. One Facebook fan described the burger's retirement as "the end of the world."
Whataburger promised its customers that it would reconsider its decision if the company saw an overwhelming response from customers to save it - and it has.
"We couldn't deny these devoted fans any longer," said Scheffler.
Whataburger Patty Melt
So popular that is has its very own Facebook page, the Patty Melt was first introduced as a limited-time menu item in July 2008. Its crowd-pleasing status is evident on the customer-created Facebook page, which includes comments such as, "If I were stranded on a desert island, and could have only one food, it would be you."
The Patty Melt is made with two fresh, never-frozen American beef patties, two slices of Monterey Jack cheese, grilled onions, and Whataburger's famous Creamy Pepper Sauce, served between two thick slices of signature Texas Toast.
When the sandwich last vanished from the menu, a fan posted a eulogy stating, "It's a sad day in America, we lost something near and dear to our hearts."
Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich
The Honey BBQ Chicken Strip Sandwich, first introduced in 2003, is "given to us by the fast food gods," according to Kimmie T. on Yelp. Featuring three crispy chicken strips and two slices of Monterey Jack cheese, customers can choose to have the sandwich on Whataburger's classic 5-inch bun or bold Texas Toast.
The real reason for the cravings, though, is the Honey BBQ Sauce. "It's classic, it's tangy, it's sweet," notes a Whataburger team member in the upcoming ad about the sandwich. A customer confirms the sentiment, noting: "I love the sauce, you can't find it anywhere else."
Chop House Cheddar Burger
The newest kid on the block is the Chop House Cheddar Burger. Introduced in 2009, it's made with two 100 percent fresh, never-frozen, American beef patties grilled to perfection, topped with grilled onions, melted shredded cheddar cheese, two slices of crispy bacon and creamy steak sauce on a fresh, toasted five-inch bun. When the Chop House returns each year, one Facebook fan says "the quality of life instantly improves."
The addition of the All-Time Favorites menu directly ties into Whataburger's recently announced new advertising campaign, launching this week, which focuses its attention on the pride Whataburger has for its freshly-prepared menu offerings, its customers and employees. In the campaign, Whataburger fans and employees share their personal connections to the burger icon's craveable menu.
Whataburger will feature the sandwiches on its menu indefinitely at each of its 700-plus locations. The four All-Time Favorites are available in junior size.
ABOUT WHATABURGER: Whataburger has focused on its fresh, never frozen, made-to-order burgers and friendly customer service since 1950 when Harmon Dobson opened the first Whataburger as a small roadside burger stand in Corpus Christi, Texas. Dobson gave his restaurant a name he hoped to hear customers say every time they took a bite of his made-to-order burgers: "What a burger!" Within the first week, people lined up around the block for his 25 cent, all-American beef burgers served on five-inch buns. Today, the company is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, with more than 700 locations in 10 states with sales of more than $1 billion annually.

Jim, could you point out some? I'll offer up myself as an example. Please enumerate my intolerance. Surely someone as volatile and disagreeable as me is guilty of some intolerance.
Jim, could you point out some? I'll offer up myself as an example. Please enumerate my intolerance. Surely someone as volatile and disagreeable as me is guilty of some intolerance.
Jim, I don't disagree....but at the same time, you've seen what I post...I'm pretty consistent in how I approach things, and although I have strong opinions, I try to see things from the perspective of others.
It is dishonest to take the worst examples of something (misguided motivation/implentation of treatment free beekeeping), and apply it to a whole movement. I will also tell you that our first year conference in Leominster with Dee Lusby, Erik Osterlund, Mike Palmer, Sam Comfort, etc. was referred to as a "cult meeting" by Randy...to an entire state beekeeping meeting about 100 miles from my home...this is not "tit for tat"....I've had some productive discussions with Randy, and we have provided each other with some research support here and there...it is just to point out that the attitude is not a new one.
Would it be fair of me to take the worst accounts I've heard of from the commercial beekeeping world for how bees are fed, and talk about how fed bees results in honey that is 30% sugar? ....or is the worst case the worst case?
There is a lot of good, solid advice and information about treatment free beekeeping. There are books, there are websites, and there are online discussions...some of which Randy has participated in. Yet, he ignored all of that in order to toss the term "beekeeping taliban" around by addressing only the worst of what he has seen.
If he didn't want to be judged harshly for writing that, he shouldn't have written it.
'raises hand'
the 'unique rules' that apply to this forum could be viewed as lack of tolerance.
they are why i have 'moved on' from participating here.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
This forum is designed to shelter treatment free beekeepers from the constant attacks they receive from intolerant beekeepers. I have not called conventional beekeepers "lazy." I have not called their methods "poison" or "lies." Yet these exact epithets have been used against me and my methods. Now we have "Beekeeping Taliban." Where is the equal?
Every member of this website is allowed to use this forum (except for one that I know of) as long as they behave according to the rules which set the topic and decorum of the forum. That's not intolerant. That's regulation. It's necessary for civil discourse and every forum on this website is the same in that regard.
I don't consider you the source of intolerance Sol. I don't agree with you on much but I respect your openness. If however you are suggesting that an intolerant element doesn't exist within the treatment free crowd then I suggest you must be living in a different world than me. I am not even saying it represents a majority only that harsh words are often directed at those who choose to treat. But then you know me, just one of those big commercial guys who just dumps chemicals in my hives without regard to......well you know how it goes.
It isn't fair or honest to paint the whole movement from the worst offenders...especially when there is quite a bit written from Michael Bush, Dennis Murell, myself, etc. This was Randy's choice, and he made it. It shouldn't be surprising that his words weren't universally revered.
My question Jim, is where is this that you're talking about? Maybe it's not me, in fact I know it's not me because I don't talk like that. So who does? I spend much more of the time defending against stuff rather than spewing my own, virtuous as it may be.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
"Treatment-free treatments," that's a quote. Somebody actually posted looking for information on treatment-free treatments.
so what is it?
constant attacks or wanting to talk about soft treatments.
why not do away with the litmus test, end the divisiveness, don't make it either/or ect.
pretty funny about the treatment free treatments.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
right! and all of the forums rock along just fine. profanity, personal attacks, ect. are dealt with as needed.
but the content is what it is.
i'm alright sol, kinda like the ground hog in 'caddy shack'.
just my .02, sorry if i fanned a flame.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Right, so where is the other side? It's not equal. Both sides are not doing the same thing. It's never true. Whenever someone says 'both sides do it' they're actually on the side doing it the most.
Goodness, can this forum talk about treatment free beekeeping for a change...there is a lot of knowledge out there and many want to share it, but they always seem to have to defend themselves because they are actually making it work...sorry but all this is getting really old...and some of us are here to learn about treatment free beekeeping and those of you who only want to whine and complain about how difficult it is should just "listen" for a change...there are some great topics on this forum...this is not one of them.
I would be very interested in hearing of someone who has had a single hive that has survived untreated with unbroken lineage (queen to her next generation biological daughter) for 3 years (5 would be better). Now I know a hive can be manipulated to make this work, but I am talking naturally. Heck, I'll even expand that to a treated hive. Anybody Hear it from me i have 7 hives that are 5 + years old and 8-9 that are 3 years old never have a drop of dope added to them all foundationless and all have requeened by swarming every year they are all mutts
Part of the confusion I believe has to do with the concepts of "hard" and "soft" treatments. Some people (not me) consider soft treatments as consistent with their ideas of natural beekeeping. AFAIK organic standards allow for no additive treatments. Certified Naturally Grown allows some (Formic I think) as a transitional measure. CNG calls for some things that make no sense to me - like hive stands of a certain height. I can understand hive stand use to slow down predators like skunks - but my bees are already behind electric netting and so the requirement is solving a non-existent problem. Writing standards to cover all scenarios on a national basis must be quite the challenge!
frizzel, good point.
wade, good work!
andrew, "Writing standards to cover all scenarios on a national basis must be quite the challenge! " is one reason why i think the rules are problematic here.
sol, thanks for engaging here and on the main forum. i probably shouldn't have stuck my nose in where it didn't belong.

" "It's what you know for sure that keeps you from learning."
And I am all about learning. I'd like to nmake it perfectly clear that I do not consider myself to be the final arbiter on any matter! In investigating many of these controversial subjects, my brain feels like a GPS unit, repeatedly saying, "Recalculating" and sometimes even "Turn around when possible." This is why I take care to hold no positions, and appreciate being intelligently challenged on any point. If something comes to my attention that makes me rethink or correct anything I've written, I am more than happy to rebut myself on these pages." Randy Oliver
