Bridge River Cones
"The Bridge River Cones volcanic field consists of a group of small basaltic and trachybasaltic eruptive centers at the extreme northern end of the Garibaldi volcanic belt in SW British Columbia. Pleistocene volcanic necks and cones were Potassium-Argon dated at 0.97 and 0.59 million years ago in the Salal Creek area and display ice-contact features (Lawrence et al., 1984). Tuber Hill is a small subaerial 600,000-year-old basaltic stratovolcano to the north that was constructed on the Bridge River upland when neighboring valleys were filled with ice. Lava flows that overlie poorly consolidated glacial till and appear to post-date the latest glaciation are found immediately north of Bridge River. The youngest flow may be less than 1500 years old (Souther; in Wood and Kienle, 1990)."

Taranaki triathlete Clark Ellice finished 6th at the opening round of the ITU World Cup season in Mooloolaba on Australia's Sunshine Coast yesterday (Sat).
Fellow Kiwi Mike Phillips of Christchurch was 18th, earning a bonus USD$500 on the 40km bike leg with his attack on the bike leg which gave him a break on the field heading into the run.
There was no stopping Spaniard Javier Gomez, however. The Olympic silver medallist moved to second on the all time list of ITU World Cup triathlon wins with his 13th career victory, running through and then away from the field with ease.
Ellice was pleased with his work on a hot and difficult day.
"We left nothing for the run, it was a run for strength and the strongest boys came through today and that is how it should be, I am just stoked to get my first top 10 and keep rolling on to Auckland.''
The Auckland round of the series will be held on April 6.
American Matt Chrabot and Peter Kerr of Australia battled for the minor placings. Chrabot finished two seconds ahead of the Oceania Champion, who picked up his first ITU World Cup podium.

There was a time in our development when we thought that all pistols needed high visibility sights. "You must use the sights, always, and at all distances" we were told by the gun gurus of a prior age, and like faithful followers, we shipped our guns to the smith to have them suitably arranged. And yes, sights that were easier to see made those 1 1/2 second head shots at 3 yards very easy to make, and right inside the "credit card" too. "Bravo!", we thought, as we holstered our 45s into our pricey handmade Milt Sparks rigs (just like the instructor had) and walked up to examine the group with a jaunty swagger.
But then...something changed.
Some crazy guys thought to have students shoot each other with Airsoft BB guns. Shooters would replicate exactly the drills that formed the Modern Technique, and that Gusmoke's Matt Dillon tried to emulate in his show. Insane! Outlandish! Heresy! Yes, they called it all of those things...but the first time guys stepped up to do it, everything changed.
Gone were the Weaver Stances. Hell, those lasted one evolution as guys realized that standing and shooting it out, in an equal initiative fight, or a reactive fight, was a guarantee of getting shot. The need for movement made the need for a proper stationary position obsolete in this type of fight. And keeping two hands on the gun was a luxury few got a chance to enjoy.
I recall after our first session of this several years ago I asked, "What sort of sight picture did you see"? Silence was the reply. "Well, what did you see?". I got varying replies from "the bad guy running at me", to "nothing", to "meat and metal". What we didn't hear, and have not heard, is that anyone has used a proper sight picture inside of five yards.
I base my view of the pistol fight on what we see in force on force sessions, as that parallels most, what I have seen personally on the streets. What a competitive pistol champion may use is interesting from a technical perspective, but that is all, as the two worlds of range shooting and gunfighting only bear a passing resemblance. And the world of force on force, paralleling the gunfight more closely than anything else, tells us that using traditional sighting methods for close range shooting on a moving adversary is simply not done. Guys point and shoot.
At recent classes I have been using Airsoft guns with no sights at all...just to be sure. You know what? It has not changed the hitting percentages at all at the close range intervals of reactive gunfighting. It has made guys somewhat faster since they are not slowing down to try and find the sights. Wow! Insane? Outlandish? Heresy? Maybe, but also the truth. So what do we need sights for?
We need them for two things.
We need sights for precision shooting at close range as might be seen in an adversary's exposed elbow, foot, or eye behind cover. Or as may be needed for a shot passed an innocent to hit a bad guy.
We also need sights for long range shooting as might be seen in an Active Shooter event where you have a long shot available. We have taken pistol shooters out to 220 yards at one point so it can be done.
Do you need high visibility sights for shots inside 7 yards? Nope. In fact, you could literally take the sights off the gun and be able to, statistically speaking, handle most CCW gunfights easily.
So if we need sights for precise shots, but not for general reactive close range shooting, which sights will work best for this? If we are looking at iron sights, then we need sharp, clearly discernible black sights, with a serrated front and flat rear face. Do we need dots or bars on the sights to see them better at close range? In my opinion, no we don't.
I can't see my sights!!!
Sights are like religion for some people. It seems once they spend money on something, even if it does not perform well, they cannot seem to let go of it. Much of this is based on the modern technique myth that you need sights for everything. We've shown that you do not. On a pistol, partly due to its intended application and partly due to only one or two points of contact, you generally will need sights as you enter into the distance interval of seven to ten yards and out, but not otherwise.
So let me be clear. If you plan on only using your pistol for the minimum - "average civilian CCW stuff", (a watered down standard with low expectations of your own skills) you really don't need any sights on the gun at all and can make do just fine with a bare slide. But if you want to optimize what you and your weapon can do, read on.
What you do need sights for is when things are taking place at a longer distance interval, or any close range event requiring greater precision than can be expected from point shooting.
A pistolero should be able to hit with his CCW out to at least 50 yards. We prefer to be able to hit out to 100 yards minimum, as far as for our staff instructor standards. Again, don't judge the world by the so-called "average standards" used by lazy instructors to foist substandard training upon you. I want to put the sights on my gun that will allow me to do get hits at long distance, because I do not need sights for close ranges.
But Suarez International is but one voice. And since many in the training field focus exclusively on the CQB aspects of the pistol, students think that is all there is. Few schools ever take their students out beyond the CQB envelop so a desire to do well in that realm takes over and weapons begin to get modified for gun school use rather than for battlefield use.
Will you be able to see your Big Dot better than your steel sights if you have old used up eyes? Sure, but hitting a target is only partly about seeing the sights, the other parts are about seeing the target itself and then indexing your sights onto it.
For a distant target here are some possible scenarios:
You can see the target but cannot see the sights or index them on the target = you will miss
You can see the target, and you can see the sights, but you cannot index them with any degree of accuracy on the target because they cover up the entire target = you will miss.
You can see the target, and you can see sights, as well as index those sights on the target with the necessary degree of accuracy = you will hit.
Miss one of the three points:
Seeing target,
Seeing sights,
Indexing sights on the target,
..and you will miss.
If you cannot see the front sight well, you can add Big Dot sight, but if you can't index that Big Lollypop sight well on a distant target, you still won't be able to hit it. I know it is perhaps a poor analogy, but how many Big Dot sights do you see at the national level action shooting events?
Now, I can still see pretty good, but many of my students cannot, so I sought out a best answer for them. The best answer, given our modern technology, is this. If you simply cannot see the front sight at all, or have issues indexing what you can see on the target, adding a red dot optic to the pistol is the best solution. That coupled with regular glasses (not your special reading shooting glasses) that you can see the target with will solve the hitting problem discussed above.
Red dot sights allow you to see the target, plus see the dot in the same focal plane. As well, it is relatively easy to index that red dot (between 4 MOA 13 MOA) onto the target. Moreover, you immediately eliminate the need to move the visual focus back and forth between target-rear sight target front sight. All of that makes shooting very easy and hitting very easy.
To those who disdain technology I will say that our troops are almost exclusively using Red Dots of one sort or another (Aimpoints and Trijicons almost exclusively) for nearly a decade with no issues. Sure its nice to be able to use your iron sights, but if you cannot visually do that, then your only viable option, if your goal is to use the rifle to its utmost utility, is to use a red dot sight.
It is often heard to put your money where your mouth is. I do. Most of my personal rifles have red dot sights on them, and I am experimenting with adding such sights to pistols as well. Why? Because, in the realm where sights are needed, they allow you to do those things that are needed in order to hit the other guy before he hits you.

Source 44 Webinar Oversubscribed: "Conflict Minerals: 4 Keys to Conflict Free"
Expert panel discusses challenges and solutions of conflict mineral compliance
Source 44, the global leader in supply chain sustainability data services and conflict mineral disclosure reporting, announced the release of the first in a series of industry-leading webinars: "Conflict Minerals: 4 Keys to Conflict Free."
The live webinar, which Source 44 hosted yesterday, featured an expert panel of news media, NGO and industry representatives. Over 100 professionals located on four continents were in attendance, with the majority representing major Fortune 500 companies impacted by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act requiring conflict minerals disclosure.
In his welcoming remarks, Jess Kraus, President and CEO of Source 44 set the tone for companies to step up. "Conflict Minerals and the Congo's human rights abuses are merely the poster child for abuses against humanity," Kraus said. "These abuses will continue unless we, as socially responsible global companies, take responsibility for what happens in our supply chains."
Following Kraus were the experts in Conflict Minerals and supply chain sustainability. The panelists spoke candidly about the challenges business leaders have when managing their supply chains for greater transparency—
Wally Sanabria, Director of Organizational Excellence and Scalability in the Worldwide Procurement Organization at SanDisk Corporation
Sanabria shared that tracing the supply chain beyond the first tier suppliers has it's challenges. "We have built a successful and robust program in-house. I also believe, working with Source 44, could provide the ability to improve supply chain data collection, especially for downstream suppliers, enhance auditing, enable mapping and modeling, and simplify reporting."
Matt Thorn, Chief Operation Officer of Source 44
Thorn delivered a comprehensive demonstration of Source Intelligence'
"There is no short cut to accountable supply chain sourcing," added Kraus, "but we've received a lot of industry feedback that we have a solution that can help."

Sirens sounding. Cue bad 80s pop music. Cameras at the ready. Bring up the lights. Enter stage left, host with a bad haircut and too much fake tan. 3, 2, 1 ACTION.
"Aaaaaaaand welcome to the Mamamia Open Post of the Week. Step on up and play the game. Post your comment and see what happens next". Okay, so you're not going to win a new car but we promise it'll still be fun.
Open Post is a weekly Mamamia tradition, where we turn our desks around and let you take total control of the keyboard. This is your chance to talk about, well, whatever you like. It's less about the post and ALL about the comments.
Today we are trying something new and we're bringing you an Open Post gallery with a difference. Here is a look back at the week that was through Twitter, Instagram and all things social media:
On My Mind (OMM) this week: is romance. Or more precisely, lack of romance.
Now I'm probably not going to reach my target audience with this message but to any of the men who ARE reading this: get your shit together. Seriously. I am over the "do you feel like getting a drink, you know, after work or something?," and the "so whaddya feel like doing?" and the "Let's pencil in 7pm but I might have to work late". No. No. No.
Gentlemen, THIS is a date:
Magic carpets, starlit skies, flying ponies, tigers and turbans. You don't have to be a prince (although I'm not ruling princes out, any single princes should feel free to call the Mamamia offices and ask for Jamila)…You just have to bring it.
Us girls, we want a good date. And given that we've just spent approximately two hours waxing and plucking and moisturising and tanning and bronzing and styling hair and putting on make-up and trying out multiple outfits – I think we deserve one.
Best date I've ever been on: he picked me up, we went to the art gallery and then to the fish market and sat on the grass outside, eating everything we'd just bought and drinking cheap wine. It wasn't expensive, it wasn't fancy – but it required a bit of effort and it made me feel special.
Okay, rant over. Almost.
Because last night I was walking home from the bus stop with one of my housemates and a homeless guy approached us. We both presumed he was asking for spare change but then he said "I don't want money but you sir, should be carrying her bags." Bam. Just like that. (Disclaimer: my housemates are both lovely blokes and offer to carry my bags all the time.)
Now I know that's chivalry rather than romance but you know what? Homeless guy has restored my faith in male-kind this week and the rest of you men, could learn a thing or two.
Mamamia is looking for community moderators:
Do you enjoy being a part of the Mamamia community? Are you one of our regular readers and commenters? Then we would love to have you play a bigger role and become a part of our team.
As the site continues to grow, we've decided we need some community moderators to help us keep the friendly vibe that we've always worked so hard to maintain.
If you're interested, please let us know by commenting on this post and we'll be in touch soon.
What's on your mind this week?

Phil Irwin Claimed Off Waivers By the Rangers
Top Stories
The Texas Rangers have claimed right-handed pitcher Phil Irwin from the Pirates. Irwin was designated for assignment last week, making room for right-handed reliever Josh Wall.
The move to DFA Irwin was a questionable one, and not an example of good roster management. About 30 minutes after announcing the move, the Pirates announced that they designated Wandy Rodriguez for assignment, creating an open spot on the 40-man roster. You'd think that the Pirates could have designated Rodriguez for assignment, which would have allowed them to keep Irwin.
Furthermore, they had Jason Grilli returning a day later, and ended up designating Vin Mazzaro for assignment on Monday. That means they've currently got two open spots on the 40-man roster, all while losing Irwin on waivers.
Irwin isn't...

How many slices of bacon does your dinner equal? 3 restaurant shockers
The last hotel I stayed in had an awesome breakfast buffet. Yogurt, fruit, granola, eggs, bacon... you name it, they had it. And like a consciously healthy eater, I loaded my plate with fruit and yogurt and daintily added 2 strips of bacon.
Even though I work as an associate food editor at EatingWell Magazine, and spend a great deal of time in our test kitchen developing healthy recipes, I can't deny my love for bacon. But seeing the white juicy veins of fat running between the layers of "meat" and curling up around the ends of each glorious strip tells me that bacon is something to enjoy in moderation. That's why when we develop recipes in the EatingWell Test Kitchen that use bacon, we use it sparingly.
I've got bacon's nutritional profile memorized: 1 medium strip of bacon has 43 calories and 1.1 grams of saturated fat. I also am aware that the American Heart Association recommends limiting intake of saturated fats to less than 7 percent of daily calories. (That's 16 grams, if you're consuming 2,000 calories.) That's because saturated fats raise levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol in the blood, damaging the heart and arteries, triggering inflammation that may eventually leading to a heart attack or stroke. Hmmm. That bacon's not looking so good after all.
9 "Bad" Foods You Should Be Eating
Fast-forward a couple of hours and I'm starving. My husband and I ended up at Chili's and he suggested splitting an order of the Shiner Bock BBQ Ribs. Not that I thought ribs are a health food, but I was shocked to learn that a full order of those succulent ribs has 1,750 calories and 29 grams of saturated fat. So, if I were to order and eat that dish by myself, it would have the same amount of saturated fat as 26 strips of bacon. I could have cleared out the entire tray of bacon at breakfast for what I would have gotten from those ribs. (By the way, I ended up ordering salmon.)
That got me thinking how funny it was that I would never consider having more than 2 strips of bacon on my plate at breakfast, but I would certainly (unknowingly) entertain the thought of eating a dish that had the saturated fat equivalent of 15, 20, even 30 strips of that smoky goodness. So like some people carry around tip calculators, I'm carrying around my own mental bacon calculator—that is, I'll be figuring out how many strips of bacon fit into the meal I want to order and if the answer results in a giant heap, I think I'll pass and look for something better. Or better yet, make it healthier at home.
Here are some menu items at a few popular restaurants and how much bacon you'd have to eat to get the same amount of saturated fat, plus some healthier alternatives and recipes you can make at home.

Houston Considers Cars, Phones and their Future
(Houston, TX - Melissa Galvez, KUHF News Lab) The diary of a distracted driver:
"Day 2. I consider myself to be a light phone user while driving, I have to suppress a need to check my phone every few minutes. I see my right hand inching toward my purse in the passenger seat, snatch it back, repeat. Day 3: I almost broke today..."
Houston is a place almost totally free of laws against talking or texting while driving. But Texas and other states stand in the path of a federal push to change that, and research showing distracted driving is a deadly problem and, potentially, an addiction. So, we asked drivers to keep a diary, and let us in on the experience of distracted driving as part of a series looking at how Texas view this debate.

KICKOFF: Sunday, 4:15 p.m. ET
SURFACE: Natural Grass
TV: FOX, Thom Brennaman, Brian Billick, Laura Okmin
The Bears have revamped their passing game since being flagged for nine false-start penalties in a 24-13 loss at Detroit on Monday night in Week 5. Coordinator Mike Martz is leaning on RB Matt Forte's versatility and QB Jay Cutler has been efficient with short drops and quick throws. That combination will help thwart Detroit's pass rush while attacking the league's fifth-worst run defense.
The Lions have a plus-13 turnover margin, which will be difficult to maintain without a better ground game. Chicago will focus on keeping completions in front of its defensive backs, although Detroit QB Matthew Stafford kept the chains moving by completing 73.1 percent of his passes in the first meeting.
-Detroit has allowed an NFL-low 49 points in the second half this season while scoring a league-best 149.
-Bears RB Marion Barber has a team-high four rushing touchdowns on just 32 carries.
WR Nate Burleson
Leon Halip/Getty
Is Nate Burleson having a down season?
Fantasy football team owners would probably say he was. After all, 26 catches for 245 yards and one touchdown won't get him on many Pro Bowl teams.
But Lions players and offensive coaches, however, would dispute that.
"We looked at it over the bye week and he had over 100 receiving yards called back (on penalties)," offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said. "He's had some explosive plays called back and if that doesn't happen, his numbers look pretty good.
"But Nate is the most unselfish player I've ever been around. He plays the game the way he's supposed to play it and he affects the game the way he's supposed to."
Technically, Burleson is the Lions' No. 2 receiver behind Calvin Johnson, but in reality, he's the third. Without a consistent ground game, the Lions compensate by using tight end Brandon Pettigrew in a control passing game.
Research by ESPN shows that Johnson has been targeted 74 times (47 catches), Pettigrew 53 times (41 catches) and Burleson 43 times (26 catches).
"As long as somebody in our receiving core is having a good game and is balling out on that Sunday, as long as somebody is getting off, we're doing what we're supposed to do," said Johnson, who leads the NFL with 11 touchdowns. "We stand behind each other on that. Somebody has to get off every Sunday. If it's me or somebody else, so be it. But we put that on our shoulders.
"We feel like if we don't play well, we can't win."
Burleson recognizes that he's had a couple of drops. He realizes there have been games where he was either not featured or didn't make himself as available as he could have. But, when it's all added up, the Lions have the third most potent offense in the NFL, averaging 29.9 points a game.
Only the Packers and Saints score more.
"You know me, I feel privileged to play this sport and get paid a lot of money," he said. "Really, what do I have to complain about? It's just numbers. If we're winning, I'm good.
"As long as I'm getting open, doing my job, taking advantage of the opportunities when they are afforded, I am good with that. If I am not putting up numbers and I am getting jammed at the line of scrimmage and falling down on my routes, then there's something to be concerned about. But right now, I am doing my job and we're winning."
And besides, being Johnson's wing man isn't a bad gig these days.
"If Calvin keeps scoring, I'm not going to say nothing," he said. "With him being the best receiver in the game and making such a dominant statement early in the season, it's a compliment to the guys around him.
"Hopefully I will keep a job as the best decoy in the business as long as he keeps scoring touchdowns."
RB Matt Forte

With Matt Forte having a career year, offensive coordinator Mike Martz has wisely adapted the offense to make better use of its best weapon.
That has meant "Mad Mike" has called for more runs and fewer passes. The bottom line has been three straight victories in which Forte has rushed for 365 yards and 5.5 yards per carry.
The Bears have also made concessions to an offensive line that has improved significantly but is still not an elite pass-blocking unit. To make it easier on the group, Martz has called for shorter drops by Cutler and quicker passes. The Bears have also max protected more frequently than they did during a 2-3 start. Last week in the victory over the Eagles, Cutler threw some passes off planned rollouts, which hadn't been in the Bears' repertoire previously.
"We made some subtle changes," Martz said, understating the situation. "We had some different personnel groups. We moved the quarterback around a little bit more than what we had in the past maybe, a little bit more play-action type of things because we're running the ball so well. A team that's running the ball as well as we are right now, it just seems like it would help the passing game, too."
In his last four games, Cutler has thrown six touchdown passes and just two interceptions, and has passer ratings of over 96 in three of the games. Most important, he's only been sacked three times in the past three games after getting sacked 14 times in the first three games. The lack of rollouts had been noted for several weeks, with the main complaint among critics of Martz being that it was a tactic that seemed to work well for Cutler in his three years in Denver.
"That's been a strength of Jay's his whole career," Martz said. "His ability of impromptu or, if things break down a little bit, he's able to scramble or move around in the pocket and take off with the ball and go with it. He's got excellent speed and of course (is effective) moving around and throwing the ball on the move. He's always been very good at it. We've done a few things -- not many -- but a couple things to get him on the perimeter and take advantage of that, too."
Sunday's game against the Lions will be the fourth straight in which all five offensive linemen have started at the same position. In the first five games, the Bears used four different line combinations. Martz says the key to the improved line play is Lance Louis' move from right guard to right tackle to take over for Frank Omiyale, whose early play was a disappointment.
"The biggest issue is Lance at right tackle," Martz said. "He's done a remarkable job in the past three weeks for not being there before. He's made a terrific difference for us. When that group settles in, when you're playing with the same guys every week, of course they're going to get better every week. "That's what they've done. Since I've been here that was as good a game (Monday night vs. the Eagles) as we've played as a group up front. They've done a remarkable job. A very good job."
--PK Jason Hanson kicked outdoors on Thursday, his first time kicking a football since incurring a multiple-stitched cut on his left knee during the bye week. He kept his kicks short, from 40 yards and in, but looked strong. "It's just a matter of will everything hold together and is there pain," Hanson said. "We passed a good test today but not the official one. It felt pretty good, but we weren't quite at full speed. We will evaluate it tonight and (Friday) and see how it responds. But from where it was till now, I feel pretty good."
--P Ryan Donahue, who tweaked his right quad trying to kick field goals on Wednesday, won't test his leg until Friday. "I was trying to fill in and maybe help the team more," he said when asked why he was kicking. Donahue was one of the top field goal kickers in the country coming out of St. Rita High School in Chicago. Early in his career at Iowa he was on the depth chart as a kicker, as well as a punter. So it wasn't totally out of the blue that the Lions would test him as a possible fill-in for Hanson. "I was stretched out but with the bye week, I hadn't been working those muscles in a while," he said. "I probably should've done some more running."
WR Calvin Johnson
Leon Halip/Getty
--WR Calvin Johnson said the high, soft grass and potential rainy conditions at Soldier Field Sunday shouldn't hamstring the Lions' offense. "Not at all," he said. "If you have the right footwork and the right cleats, you should be fine. Some people might say it slows things down, but hey, that's the game of football. I'd rather be playing outside."
--QB Shaun Hill is technically the team's backup holder, but there is a chance that Donahue, the regular holder, would be on the active roster even if he can't punt. With a 46-man roster now, the Lions could use him to hold. Hill hasn't performed that chore since college.
--DT Sammie Hill did not practice again Thursday and seems doubtful for Sunday. He did, however, acknowledge that it was a new injury. He had hurt his left foot against Atlanta. This injury is his right ankle, which he apparently injured at Denver, though he did finish that game.
--RB Jahvid Best (concussion) still hasn't been cleared. Offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said they are prepared to go with Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams Sunday in Chicago. He also said newly-signed Kevin Smith could be active.
--OT Gabe Carimi (knee) did not practice Thursday and will not play Sunday. He has been out since Week 2.
--DE Julius Peppers (knee) did not practice Thursday, but coach Lovie Smith said he expects him to play Sunday.
--WR Devin Hester (ankle) did not practice Thursday, but offensive coordinator Mike Martz expects to have him available on Sunday.
--DT Matt Toeaina (knee) did not practice Thursday, and his availability for Sunday is uncertain. If he's not close to 100 percent, he could be replaced by Anthony Adams, who was a healthy scratch last week.
--TE Kellen Davis (shoulder) was limited in Thursday's practice but is expected to play Sunday.

Hits 1 to 25 of 137Dan Monson - "I don't anticipate having him in the near future. But as I told him, we're nearly two months away from playing games, and a lot can happen in two months."
Ken Simonson - "This marks a real turn around for non-residential construction. I think we will see more real gains in 2005."
Dan Monson - "They came in and got into an offensive rhythm. Games like these aren't won or lost at the end against great teams. You can't let a team go on a run and expect to win."
Dan Monson - "We never got into a rhythm of getting stops and when we did they did a good job of scrapping up some rebounds and keeping it alive against us."
Ken Simonson - "Fast-rising materials and fuel costs have exaggerated the growth in some of these categories, especially highway construction."
Ken Simonson - "Growth has been steady and well distributed among the major construction segments for the past several months. For the first 11 months of 2005, total construction was nine percent higher than in same months of 2004. Private residential construction grew 11 percent, public construction, eight percent, and private nonresidential, five percent."
Ken Simonson - "As was the case for most of the year, growth was well distributed among the major construction segments. Comparing December 2005 to December 2004, public construction grew 10, private residential construction rose 9.0, and private nonresidential was up 6.0. For the year, those categories increased 8.0, 11, and 5.0, respectively."
Ken Simonson - "Today's report on construction spending shows the industry is hitting on all cylinders with strong, balanced growth."
Ken Simonson - "On a two-month basis, there were several segments that showed exceptional growth. Shopping center construction leaped 61, after swelling nearly 40 in 2005 and 25 in 2004. Hospital construction grew 22, while manufacturing and commercial warehouse construction climbed 20. The previously lackluster office segment was up 18."
Roger Monson - "In-zone markets will probably have slower earnings growth."
Dan Monson - "It was going to be a tough game for either Horner or Vince to lose because both of those guys had such great offensive performances. Iowa just outplayed us over the last 10 minutes. They did a good job of getting us stretched out and slipped in for some lay-ups that really hurt."
Ken Simonson - "If a substantial percentage of the immigrants took the day away from work, that would have a noticeable impact on construction."
Peter Simonson - "These new stories are from a very innocent source,"
Thomas Monson - "Perhaps the surest test of an individual's integrity is his refusal to do or say anything that would damage his self-respect."
Dan Monson - "Players come and go, but kids learn how to win and they pass that down to the bench. Until somebody defeats Wisconsin, Illinois or Michigan State I don't think you can say that team is better because they've never proven it."
Thomas Monson - "Work will win when wishy washy wishing won t."
Dan Monson - "Your theory is true, to a degree. The great teams are the ones that keep improving when they're having success. It's easier to handle failure than success."
Dan Monson - "I think he played very aggressive. Their inside guys I thought were huge. They were more physical and more aggressive than we were."
Jerry Simonson - "Then this guy drops into our laps. We had an amazing pool the second time. . . . We're really coming out of this smelling like a rose."
Dan Monson - "If we somehow could win a couple, our last 10 would be a very good record against top 20 teams. We have to keep grinding because that's what the Big Ten is about. We're playing against teams that beat us the first time, and we're trying to show we've improved by getting some of these guys on the way out."
Dan Monson - "We couldn't play them the same way we did the first two times. It just wouldn't work. We needed something to change that, and we challenged Vince earlier in the week."
Dan Monson - "We just couldn't play Horton the same way we did the first two times. We challenged Vince early in the week, and just giving a potent point guard a different look was important to us."
Dan Monson - "I called a couple other things in those time outs, both times. It's what Vince wanted, and again, I was trying to go to the best player."
Dan Monson - "It was a one-play game, four or five different times, and we just didn't get it done. We just need to get some wins to build some confidence. Our guys are just really hurting right now."
Dan Monson - "I think 8-8 (in the Big Ten) would get you in. We would have to go 7-2, which is extremely difficult. One game doesn't fix you. Can we go out and duplicate that nine more times"

New Year's Day and My Fair Lady Minus Hanya Holm
New Year's Day afforded me the opportunity to watch four hit Broadway musicals that had been adapted for the screen: My Fair Lady, Camelot, Funny Girl and Hello Dolly. My Fair Lady and Camelot had a number of things in common: same director, lyricist, composer, leading lady, supporting male actor and, most important for me, the same choreographer: Hanya Holm, the modern dancer from Dresden who came to the United states to open a school and stayed for the rest of her life, dying at the age of 99.
Hanya Holm appears to have been forgotten, which frequently happens when one's choreographic output is no longer performed and any Broadway work over 60 years old has been consigned to old newspapers reviews. But Holm had pedigree: she was one of the big four founders of American modern dance along with Charles Weidman, Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey. Along with her modern dance work she choreographed twelve Broadway musicals, including Kiss Me Kate, My Fair Lady, Camelot, as well as the connoisseur's musical, The Golden Apple. She was one of the few female choreographers working on Broadway along with Agnes De Mille, Onna White and Helen Tamiris. Her choreography for Kiss Me Kate was the first copyrighted dance work in the United States and her Metropolitan City was the first modern dance piece to be televised on NBC.
Since My Fair Lady is probably one of my favorite musicals, my attention was centered on the movie, particularly the choreography. The anecdotes and stories about My Fair Lady are too many and numerous to mention. So let's look at the way the choreography morphed to the screen and how critical responses changed over the years.
After My Fair Lady opened in 1956, the eminent New York Times dance critic, John Martin, dedicated a full page in the April 29 1956 edition to Holm's choreography and Moss Hart's direction. Like many others, Martin had initial doubts about the musicalization of Pygmalion. But the show changed his mind. He wrote, "The really first rate musical...is primarily a plastic form, molding music, movement, laughter, visual design to purposes of its own. A literary plot can serve as usefully only as a light thread for continuity and the intractability of intellectual ideas makes them a serious menace of lyric theatricality...it appears that Mr. Hart and Miss Holm have worked absolutely eye to eye, each yielding to the other's hands, in a common fascination with a creative challenge...It is just about as ideal a fusion of the literary element of the theatre with the chore-musical element as has been seen in our time...Since dancing is the fullest basic medium of the lyric theatre, it stands to reason that it is also the most potent antidote to the Shavian podium. That they enrich each other instead of cancelling each other out is why Miss Holm and Mr. Hart should be decorated." And in his closing words:" the whole thing, indeed, is a remarkable wedding of theatrical taste."
My parents bought the original cast album and even though I could not understand some of the lyrics due to the accents, I knew it was something special. I especially admired Rex Harrison's rendition of his songs but my fathe (who knew a great deal about the arts) told me that Rex Harrison had already sung in the movie Night Train to Munich and that Noel Coward had performed and perfected the art of Sprechstimme long before Harrison undertook his role as Professor Higgins. In fact, Coward had been offered the role and turned it down.
I was just 10 years old when I saw My Fair Lady, three weeks before it closed on Broadway, sitting somewhere in the last rows of the balcony in the cavernous Broadway Theatre. I remember not be being able to hear much and that the woman in front of me was wearing a huge hat which she refused to take off, prompting my mother to argue with the usher, informing her that either the hat went or else she was going to the house manager to demand her money back and write a letter of complaint to one of the local newspapers. To be succinct, the hat was taken off. But my first response to the live theatrical presentation was definitely negative. It did not live up to the Columbia recording.
When the musical came out on screen I was a bit older and better able to appreciate what I saw. Truth to be told, I found the movie very long and boring. I don't know what it was: Rex Harrison was adequate even if he seemed to be preening every time you saw him and Audrey Hepburn couldn't help but look glamorous, even in rags. But by this time I knew more about dance, having been taken numerous times to the New York City Ballet, for the simple reason that it was inexpensive. I had also read many books about dance and seen the original Camelot that Holm had choreographed, so her name was known to me. But when the film credits started rolling Hanya Holm's name didn't appear. Instead Hermes Pan, a choreographer known for his work with Fred Astaire, was credited for the choreography, but if he did choreograph anything it was not acknowledged in the film's review, nor did any critic devote any space to it. So was it a reproduction of the original choreography or just a quick job for the money?

System Speed Test Benchmarks
EDITORS NOTE: Please read Solid State Drive (SSD) Benchmark Performance Testing to understand how the benchmarks used in this article should be interpreted.
It's show time! All claims to performance are either made real or proven false in our testing, and although SSD's clearly offer some advantages it sometimes takes seeing a product compared to the performance of others to prove the point. During our re-testing process, I decided to take action and get System Speed Test v4.78 back in our test rotation. This software is solid, and the results are more accurate than any others available.
I doubt that when DOS died, Vladimir Afanasiev ever thought he would see his System Speed Test software used again in professional reviews. This program offers comprehensive system information, but it also has a powerful benchmarking tool for memory, processor, and disks. In terms of disk performance, it measures interface and physical transfer rates, seek and access times at the hardware level, and it does so without delay or interference from Operating System software or running processes. This is why Benchmark Reviews will continue to use this test: it polls its results directly from the hardware!
To detect the Random Access Time of each device, we ran full test routines on all products a total of five times. The highest and lowest scores were ignored, and the remainder was averaged. However, in nearly every single access time benchmark the test results were identical. In the bandwidth tests the results were extremely close to the others, but required averaging.
The System Speed Test access time benchmark places the OCZ 64 GB Core Series SSD near the lower-end of our results. At 0.38 ms access time, the only SSD's that have done worse than OCZ's CORE SSD are the Crucial CT32GBFAB0 SSD and Super Talent MasterDrive MX SSD. Even OCZ's first SSD, the OCZSSD64GB, managed to provide a faster response time. In reality, you couldn't begin to perceive the differences, but technology should get better with time and not the other way around.
Bandwidth is a whole other consideration once you record the results. In our tests, both the Western Digital Raptor and Seagate 7200.11 Hard Disk Drives showed strength as only a few SSD's could match or beat the buffered read performance. Close on the Raptors' tail was the OCZ OCZSSD2-1S32G which is based off of the Samsung MCCOE64G5MPP-0VA SSD. The Seagate 7200.11 HDD was nearly matched in buffered read bandwidth by the Super Talent FTM60GK25H and Silicon Power SP064GBSSD25SV10. OCZ's CORE SSD performed at the same level as the Crucial/Lexar SATA-II SSD, and the remainder of SSD's end with the original OCZ SSD.
Looked at a different way, and ignoring the dominant buffered read speed results trend set by the Hard Disk Drives, the top SSD's actually did well to hold ground against the Raptor and 7200.11, which are at the very top-end of HDD performance. The 32MB buffer in the 7200.11 makes a 7200 RPM HDD difficult to keep pace with, and the 10,000 RPM spindle speed offer enough of an advantage to keep the Raptor on top.
Disk Hardware Tested:
Although Benchmark Reviews completely endorses the test results of System Speed Test for our benchmarking, it's always good to have other sources. We decided to then test the OCZ 64 GB Core Series SSD OCZSSD2-1C64G using the HD Tach RW and ATTO Disk Benchmark tool in the following sections. Please continue to see if our results were a fluke or not.
ago. It worked fin with Vista and XP. Win 7 has a problem
it never loads on this SSD .. Is there any firmware etc..
I can use to have win 7 workng on this SSB.

Restrictions Established in James Canyon

Traveling and Cycling Restrictions in James Canyon
Mayor Schoedinger asks for patience and cooperation to assist with recovery
Due to continued recovery and repair operations associated with the September 2013 flood event, Boulder County is re-establishing restrictions on non-local traffic, including bicycles, in James Canyon from the junction with Left Hand Canyon, through Jamestown, to the junction with State Highway 72 (Peak to Peak). The restrictions will go into effect immediately. Lefthand Canyon will remain open to all roadway users.
While the county's high-hazard area remediation work has moved out of the area and into Fourmile Mile Canyon, private recovery efforts remain extensive. There continues to be a high-volume of large trucks and heavy machinery moving in and around Jamestown, which is creating a hazardous environment for motorists and cyclists alike.
After the flood event, many sections of Lefthand Canyon and James Canyon Drive were completely destroyed and Boulder County worked quickly to replace the previous asphalt roadway by installing temporary dirt "winter roads." In areas where "winter roads" were created, the unpaved roadway narrows significantly and safe, uphill shoulders for cyclists are no longer available. This forces cyclists into the main flow of traffic for extended lengths, creating hazardous riding and driving conditions for travelers in both directions.
County Transportation Director George Gerstle asks for everyone's patience and understanding by avoiding travel in James Canyon, as well in the Fourmile Canyon and the Raymond/Riverside area unless you are a resident or have business in the area. "If you don't live in these areas and aren't helping rebuild these hard-hit communities, you're probably obstructing recovery operations. We want to remind folks who want to travel the mountain canyons that Lefthand and Sunshine canyons are better options and are open all the way to the Peak to Peak Highway. These canyons are also are narrow and have been reconstructed out of dirt in many areas, so we are asking everyone to be patient and drive slowly, and remember we're working to make the roads more safe for everyone."
As was available before to area residents who routinely commute by bicycle, the Boulder County Sheriff's Office is offering special permits that will allow those people to continue cycling. Please call 303-441-3650 to obtain a permit. Failure to comply with the cycling restriction may result in a court summons.
For more information, contact Andrew Barth, Transportation Department communications specialist, at 303-441-1032.

Debris removal for the plains Begins Dec. 9
Dec 2nd
Posted by Channel 1 Networks in Boulder County
What: Removal of flood-related household debris, woody debris (vegetation), and mud, silt etc. from homes
When: Beginning the week of Dec. 9
Where: Removal trucks will collect debris from all county-maintained roadways (no municipal or CDOT roads) in the plains (east of U.S. 36 and Hwy 93)
- Debris piles should be 3ft from the side of the roadway to allow for any snow removal operations
- Do not block the roadway, waterways or any culverts with debris
- In order to follow state laws, and to allow for composting operations, please separate debris into 4 piles:
- General household debris
- Electronics, appliances and household hazardous waste
- Woody debris (vegetation)
- Mud, silt, sand and rock
- Please have all eligible debris to the roadside by Dec. 9
The debris haulers have a potential reach of about 8ft from the edge of the road lane; for that reason, debris piles should be as close to the 3ft boundary along the road as possible so it can be reached and collected.
If time and weather permit debris collection trucks may make multiple trips up and down roads. However, we encourage residents to move debris to the road as soon as possible. There is no harm in leaving a debris pile near the roadway for a week or more before the truck makes it to your area.
Please remember to be cautious when driving while these large debris haulers are on the road. There will be signage and flaggers warning of the presence of the trucks, but slower speeds and heightened awareness will help lessen any problems on the tight mountain curves.
For any questions about debris pickup in the plains, please contact Resource Conservation at 720-564-2222 email@example.com.
Couple robbed at gunpoint on Flagstaff
Nov 18th
Posted by Channel 1 Networks in Boulder County
Boulder County Sheriff's Deputies responded and found two victims, a male and female couple, who reported that they had parked at the Realization Point Trailhead and began hiking up Flagstaff Summit Road toward the Flagstaff Amphitheater.
They stopped briefly at an overlook, where two males approached them. One of the males, described as about 6 feet tall and wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, shined a bright flashlight at them and pointed what appeared to be a handgun at them.
The other male, described as about 5'8" tall and wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, ordered the couple to place all of their belongings on the ground. The male then picked up their belongings, and both suspects ran back down toward the trailhead.
The victims remained where they were, and saw an unknown description vehicle driving down Flagstaff Road. The victims recalled that when they parked at the trailhead, a silver possibly Toyota SUV was also parked there, which had since left. After a few minutes, the victims contacted another couple who were hiking down Flagstaff Summit Road, and used one of their cell phones to call 911.
Anyone with any information pertinent to this case is asked to contact the Boulder County Sheriff's Office at (303) 441-4444.
Mountain Community Debris Removal Beginning Nov. 4
Oct 24th
Posted by Channel 1 Networks in Boulder Flood 2013
Boulder County, Colo. – Boulder County is contracting with a removal company to begin roadside pickup of flood debris in the mountain communities. This is a large project that will span several weeks, and will depend on weather conditions and impending snow. We are asking residents to follow the guidelines listed below in order to help this project progress as efficiently as possible in the limited time we have before major snow falls limit our access even further.
What: Removal of household debris, woody debris (vegetation), and mud, silt etc.
When: Beginning the week of Nov. 4
Where: Removal trucks will drive down all accessible, county maintained mountain roads which are west of Hwy 36 and Hwy 93
- Debris piles should be 3ft from the side of the roadway to allow for any snow removal operations
- Do not block the roadway, waterways or any culverts with debris
- Debris removal vehicles will only be able to access existing, county maintained, accessible roads at this time; unmaintained Jeep roads will not be serviced
- In order to follow state laws, and to allow for composting operations, please separate debris into 4 piles:
- General household debris
- Electronics and appliances
- Woody debris (vegetation)
- Mud, silt, sand and rock
The debris haulers have a potential reach of about 8ft from the edge of the road lane; for that reason, debris piles should be as close to the 3ft boundary along the road as possible so it can be reached and collected.
If time and weather permit debris collection trucks may make multiple trips up and down roads. However, we encourage residents to move debris to the road as soon as possible. There is no harm in leaving a debris pile near the roadway for a week or more before the truck makes it to your area.
If your property is on the other side of the creek from a major roadway, and you have no way of transporting debris to the accessible roadway, please do not push debris piles down into the creek. Any excess debris in the creeks can potentially cause more flooding downstream during normal spring runoff.
Please remember to be cautious when driving while these large debris haulers are on the road. There will be signage and flaggers warning of the presence of the trucks, but slower speeds and heightened awareness will help lessen any problems on the tight mountain curves.
Boulder County will issue a notification when the debris pickup project is coming to a close and ask residents to assemble any final debris piles before service is concluded.
For any questions about debris pickup in the mountain communities, please contact ReSource Conservation at 720-564-2220 or email@example.com.

Stranger approaches provoke police warning
Oct 1st
Posted by Channel 1 Networks in City News
Recently, parents have reported that a male in a white SUV has approached children and at least one adult in a large geographic area in Boulder, which includes the area of the 2200 block of Balsam, the 400 block of Highland and the 2000 block of Alpine Avenue.
No one has been able to provide a concrete description of the SUV or the possible suspect, and the people approached are both males and females from 7-to-20 years old. One of those who reported being contacted by the male says she was offered a ride and ran away. Others say a white SUV approached them but that the person driving it didn't speak to them. An adult who noticed a white SUV told police that a man was sleeping inside it.
Descriptions of the suspect vary; police were told he was 30-to-60 years old; that he had white hair or salt-and-pepper hair and that he had a full beard or was clean-shaven; that he wore glasses and that he didn't wear glasses. The SUV descriptions differ as well.
Neighbors shared an informational email in an effort to inform each other about the incidents, and detectives have investigated all the reports.
Police offer some tips for keeping kids safe:
- Tell your kids to walk with others and stay in well-lit areas
- Always supervise younger children, even in groups
- Tell your kids to never, ever get into a car with a stranger
- Let your child know you will never send an unknown adult to pick them up – ever
- If a stranger does approach your child, your child should RUN, YELL and REPORT the stranger to a trusted adult. It's not appropriate for adults to approach children.
Here are some ploys strangers may use:
- Asks for help finding a lost pet
- Invites the child to a car to see a new puppy
- Offers candy, toys or food
- Asks for directions
- Offers a ride
Police remind people to call 9-1-1 if they are in a situation which they feel is unsafe, or if they notice a situation involving someone else.
The Boulder Police Department will keep the public apprised of any developments or public safety issues which arise.

County officials want mountain driving restraint
Sep 25th
Posted by Channel 1 Networks in Boulder Flood 2013
Mountain residents are asked to minimize trips into and out of damaged areas, and visitors and plains residents are requested to curtail recreation in the mountain area between U.S. 36 and SH 72 this fall (travel is allowed along P2P Highway north to south)
Visitors can access the Town of Estes Park in Larimer County along Peak to Peak Highway (SH 72) – we're just asking that visitors not try to venture east or west of P2P in Boulder County along roads that are closed to public access
Boulder County, Colo. – Boulder County officials have made it an immediate priority to repair and reconstruct county roads and bridges damaged in the flood. The county sustained an enormous amount of damage to its roadway infrastructure, and in some places, experienced complete destruction of critical routes in the foothills and mountains. Initial estimates for repairs top $100 million.
Boulder County road maintenance crews have been working on clearing, evaluating structural integrity and public safety, and repairing county roads since the beginning of the historic flooding event. Utility companies have also been active since the start working to restore electric, gas, phone, water and other basic services. Given the current status of the roads, county public safety and transportation officials are urging residents to minimize – and visitors to curtail completely – their use of mountain roads within Boulder County.
(Video: Boulder County "Be a Good Neighbor" Public Safety & Road Infrastructure message)
"We kindly ask that people stay out of the foothills and mountain areas from Foothills Highway to Peak to Peak this fall for recreational purposes while our county, state and federal partners work to restore access to all of our valued mountain communities," said Boulder County Commissioner Cindy Domenico. "Right now we need our residents and visitors to access our central mountain communities only for essential purposes and to give room to our road crews and law enforcement officials to do their jobs."
"We want residents and visitors to recognize that Boulder County is hard at work to reestablish our infrastructure and reconnect residents to their communities and their homes," said Boulder County Transportation Director George Gerstle. "The county has teamed with cities and towns, the state, other nearby counties and private contractors to help with this massive undertaking. Crews are working as quickly as we can to put in place at least temporary fixes by winter, knowing that cold weather and snow will only compound problems with damaged roads."
The Sheriff's Office is requesting that all recreation and unnecessary trips into the foothills and mountains of Boulder County be curtailed until critical roads, including Boulder Canyon and U.S. 36 west of Lyons, can be opened to the general public. (View video)
"The road issues are more than a mere inconvenience," said Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle. "Everyone working at the county understands that the lack of access and the lengthy process to restore it will change lives, and we are focused on returning a sense of normalcy to lives that have been changed forever in some cases."
County officials have asked that vehicles, bikes and pedestrians stay out of the damaged areas while road and emergency crews, utilities and local residents work to restore basic infrastructure and access to their homes.
"People who want to recreate in the mountains or go see the destruction will actually hamper access for emergency responders, utility workers, and mountain residents who absolutely need the access," Pelle said. "For that reason we're asking people who don't have to go to the mountains to stay away and to understand that this is a very long term problem."
"It is incredibly difficult to rebuild roads with people on them, so please avoid the mountain roads unless absolutely necessary, and minimize even residential trips to keep roads clear for heavy equipment and emergency vehicles," Gerstle added. "It is difficult and takes much longer for the crews to fix a road with traffic on it. The fewer people using the road, the faster we can get the work done."
Another important recovery aspect for many residents is the status of county open space parks and trails.
"Our staff has been assessing damage and working to repair trails as quickly as possible, but there are many parks and trails that may be closed for a significant duration as these areas have experienced extreme damage and the trails are unsafe," said Boulder County Parks & Open Space Director Ron Stewart.
In addition, the U.S. Forest Service in Boulder County has closed its lands for all recreational purposes (i.e., camping, hiking, hunting, etc.) by executive order until further notice.

City of Boulder Public Information Officers are headed to the city-county Emergency Operations Center to respond to media inquiries. They are expected to be able to take calls at the media line by 10 p.m. The phone number there is 720-564-2935.
The most important message to share at the moment is that there is street flooding occurring in parts of the city and in eastern Boulder County. Motorists should avoid driving through flooded areas. Individuals are also urged to stay away from waterways, such as Boulder Creek. Thank you for your assistance in getting this information out to the public.

We all handle breakups in our own way. Some people throw themselves into work; some people cry under their desk. Some people go out like crazy; others hibernate in their house for weeks. Some people even spend their time writing really sad Yelp reviews of all the places they went with their ex. (No seriously, read about the guy who's been doing just that.)
Handle it however works for you, but there are a few guidelines of things you probably shouldn't do. No stalking and no major life changers were among the five things NOT to do after a breakup we talked about a while back, and we stand by those statements. But here are another five behaviors we think you should try to avoid while you're healing your heart.
Don't…panic. The older you get, the more it can feel like a breakup is a huge setback to your life's timeline. What if you never find someone? What if that was your last chance? Well, it might feel that way now, but it wasn't. So don't freak out and start texting all your previous boyfriends to see if any of them are still single, and hey, by the way, should we give it another try? No, you shouldn't. You can be sad without thinking the world is ending.
Don't…turn into a bad friend. You'll probably need to lean on your friends for support during this time, and they should gladly step up with hugs, girls' nights out, and letting you drone on for hours about what went wrong, even when they are so bored of you they can barely take it. Let them take care of you, but don't take advantage of their kindness or forget to return the favor yourself. Being sad is no excuse for blowing them off when they need you, or being resentful of their happy relationship.
Don't…go too crazy treating yourself. Yes, go on and get a massage, have ice cream for dinner, buy yourself a gorgeous new bag. A little retail therapy or sugar rush can do you good post-breakup, and you deserve that. But don't go into credit card debt or forget to eat any vegetables for a month straight. You don't want to finally feel cheered up only to find yourself with a vitamin deficiency and 13 voice mails from bill collections.
Don't…torture yourself. Don't plan dinner at the restaurant where you had your first date. Don't flip through a photo album of the two of you while listening to sad Billie Holiday songs. And for the love of God, don't go to Bed Bath and Beyond on a Sunday or any other guaranteed Land of Smug Couples. Try to put yourself in situations that will cheer you up, not send you into an emergency session with your therapist.
Don't…be too hard on yourself. Whether you did one of the don'ts, or it's just taking you a lot longer to feel back on your game, don't beat yourself up. Just start fresh the next day and do your best.
What do you try to avoid post breakup? What helps?

Why It's Hard To Make Affiliate Income These Days
I realize this isn't the kind of heading that most helpful "how to" reports on making money
online start with. But do you want a normal report like all the others? Or do you want the
truth? Because I've got to tell you: Having people blow smoke up your butt with stupid claims
about what's possible... people who haven't made money as an affiliate since 2004... is not
what you need if you plan to ever have a profitable affiliate business.
There ARE some hard truths to be faced for affiliates at the moment, but only by facing them
can we continue to be owners of the coolest, most freeing kind of businesses in the world. If
you're trying to build a business as an affiliate right now, you can't afford NOT to know what's
in this report.
So in this first section I'm going to tell you two things: Why making money as an affiliate is
harder now than it once was, BUT why this is simultaneously, the biggest period of
opportunity for affiliate marketers in history. You ready? Here goes...
Affiliate Marketing Ain't What It Used To Be
Part 1: Search Engines
There's a lot of things that used to work in affiliate marketing, that don't work anymore. There
are a lot of things that you used to be able to do as an affiliate, that you can't do anymore.
Same goes for the search engines. The game's just different now.
It's almost impossible to create traditional "minisites" now – like, 5 page sites – and expect to
get decent traffic from the search engines. It's almost impossible to use nothing but scraped
content and expect it to generate rankings. You can't just submit articles to directories and get
overnight search engine rankings anymore. It's almost impossible to quickly slap up PPC
campaigns and be generating profits overnight now either. Heck it's tough to get traffic just
BEING an affiliate at Adwords anymore.

Apr 7, 2014 at 3:57 pm #1315401
Peter BakwinBPL Member
Wife wishes to upgrade from her Golite Jam to something with a bit of suspension. She is petite (5'1") and short torso – I measure 16" from the bottom of the hip belt to the top of the shoulder strap. She needs to be able to carry a bear can – BV450 or BV500 – which does not fit well in her small sized Jam. The can goes in but not with enough room to pad it adequately. What are you petite females finding works well? I have a Zpacks Arc Blast which I like – any small women using that?Apr 7, 2014 at 8:37 pm #2090810
Chris .BPL Member
@cwbLocale: Los Angeles
I just went through this with my tiny 13 year old. I can't find any pack with a fixed suspension that goes that small. Maybe I didn't look in the right places. Fitting a bear can is going to push you into a Circuit, or if you don't want to spend the money, the Osprey Volt, the North Face youth Terra 55 and another one that escapes my brain right now. I have a GG Blaze AC 60 that almost goes down to that size. What is her waist size?Apr 7, 2014 at 10:09 pm #2090832

@cameronLocale: Idaho Falls
The Exped Lighting has an adjustable torso so it might work. Definitely fits a bear can but the frame is tall (24 inches), I don't know if that would be a factor or not.
Another option would be a custom built pack from either Chris Zimmer, Elemental Designs, or HMG. Chris can make you any size pack you want. I don't know specifically about HMG and ED but they've done other custom packs so maybe they would.
A final idea would be to check out the Fusion packs from Six Moons Designs. They have an adjustable torso so they might be short enough.Apr 8, 2014 at 2:54 am #2090849

@leadfootLocale: Middle Virginia
What is her torso size? Mine is 15" and ULA fits very well. They also make a smaller pack that fits kids and it may do well for her. Give Chris a call and see what he has because he offered me an XS that isn't even on his website. ULA are great packs.
Any of the cottage makers would most likely be good to work with as well.Apr 8, 2014 at 4:54 am #2090857
Michelle ABPL Member
I'm 4'11" and skinny and was able to custom order a 16" torso and small waist belt for the arc blast. I have taken it out on a few trips now and I love it. The only minor gripe I have is that the shoulder strap loops for sternum strap adjustments and for clipping shoulder pockets are too high for me since I'm short. Otherwise the light weight is awesome!
Before the zpacks I was using the old rei flash 50 which I also liked but is 1.5 lbs heavier.Apr 8, 2014 at 6:12 am #2090869
Peter BakwinBPL Member
Great info everyone, thx. Michelle – have you carried a bear can in your Arc Blast?Apr 8, 2014 at 6:22 am #2090872
I have an Exped Lightning 60 women's version that I bought on super sale at Backcountry hoping to make it work for me. The hipbelt is a little small, (I'm 5'10" 165) but the frame is pretty adjustable. I'm planning to return it to Backcountry but PM me if you're interested and I will send it to you at cost.Apr 8, 2014 at 7:21 am #2090880

I am 5' tall and have 16 inch torso and I love my Elemental Horizons Kalais and HERE is Will Rietveld's review of the pack and SGT. Rock's video review .if you do a search on BPL you will see it is a well loved pack.Mathew is great to work with and will do custom work if you need or want it.Apr 8, 2014 at 7:27 am #2090881

Bear can in an Arc Blast? thread.Apr 8, 2014 at 11:46 am #2090948
Valerie EBPL Member
@wildtownerLocale: Grand Canyon State
A 16-inch torso is not that tiny (mine is only 15", and I'm 5'5"!)
Basically, any woman-specific pack (in a size small) will accommodate her; many "youth-sized" packs will also easily fit a 16" torso, and most of the cottage makers have a short-torso option which is 15" or 16" at the low end.
So, she can use just about any pack out there, as long as you buy the smallest size! Now it's just choosing what features/weight/capacity she needs, and making your final pack choice…
In this case, anyway — size doesn't matter very much! ;^)Apr 8, 2014 at 2:26 pm #2090980
Michelle ABPL Member
Yup I carry the bv500 in the arc blast all the time with no issues. The pack volume is the same regardless of torso length.Apr 8, 2014 at 2:40 pm #2090985
Charles GrierBPL Member
@rinconLocale: Desert Southwest
I'll second the recommendation of the Elemental Horizons Kalais. I used mine last summer on the JMT with a BV-450 and it worked great. I also tried it with the BV-500 and found it to handle my gear and the bear can with but little extra room. My gear and the BV-500 filled the main compartment and about half of the useable extension collar; this was for a medium size pack. The volume of this pack varies with the pack size so I can't speak for how well a small Kalais would work. But, I hike solo so my gear volume is more than it would be if I was one in a group. I will say, though, that the Kalais is probably the most comfortable light pack I have ever used.Apr 9, 2014 at 8:15 am #2091171
Marko BotsarisBPL Member
@millonasLocale: Santa Cruz Mountains, CA
Yet another strong recommendation for the Kalais. I'm confident all the sizes will fit a bear can as Mathew basically specifically "certifies" this fact right on the website. I have been carrying bear cans into the sierra for decades. I have used frameless packs like a Jam, and framed packs like ULA P2 (early version of the catalyst) and the Kalais is finally the "perfect" pack for this IMO. I put my Berikade Weekender (it will also fit an expedition) at the bottom and there is enough room around it to stuff small item like clothes or a down jacket. As a small side benefit when packed this way the pack stands up by itself.
Their size small should fit – but in this case you can just email Matt and ask for the exact dimensions if in doubt. You also get a choice of colors!

Converting to Manual
What would be involved in converting a 94 auto with the 2.5in it into a manual with the ax-15 and 6cyl.
i have the 6cyl from a 90 xj i need to buy the ax-15
but what else do i need or need to worry about? Whats involved with this?
Anyone? Anything?
I'm reminded of "Planes, Trains & Automobiles"
For the amount of time/money you will have into the drivetrain swap from a 4cyl. to a 6, you could drop in a SBC and get a much better return on the swap. Almost nothing (expensive) is the same between the 2 motors, thanks again Jeep:rolleyes:. Most people that look into doing that swap either sell their rig and buy something that already has the 4.0 in it, or do a SBC swap, in my experience.
i dont know what a sbc is but we have the motor already out just finished and i was thing of going to manual because the aouto trans in the cherokee doesnt stay in first is goes 1-2 then 3 then drive. And we also have to make a custom mount or crossmember for it. So myt dad suugested converting to an ax-15 trans and doing manual trans and i was wondering what i needed
Small Block Chevy Got It Now
i would love to do that but costs to much i already had the donor motor from my previous car.
Hey I would like your old steering column if you still have it and it has the shifter on the column for the automatic.
i dont think i can do the whole steering column but i can definetly do the shifter what parts do you need from the column
Sent you a PM.
in 1995 they swapped in a 91 XJ 6cyl in place of my 89 YJs 2.5. I already had the ax-15 so they just bolted the 4.0 to it... some of the things they changed if I remember was the motor mounts, fuel pump, computer, exhaust and custom wiring harness and bellhousing (can't rememeber for sure about the bellhousing... i don't think they reused the 2.5 bellhousing). jeep ran awesome for about 10 yrs after that but near the end was having starting issues from the crankshaft position sensor or something like that. A common problem I guess with the XJs motors but easily replaced. I sold it just a year or two ago.
In other words, I was happy with the outcome. Sorry I can't contribute any technical knowledge about it though.
the engine swap isnt what i was asking about what i need to do to convert from auto to manual. the engine swap were gonna try ourself! LOL but thanks you were manual before you switched right?

The country of India has signed the Hague treaty on international adoption, which means a baby with both a living father and living mother can not be adopted internationally unless it is first abandoned in an orphanage with no contact from you for an extended period of time. So your hope of having your child adopted internationally can't happen as long as that treaty is law in your country. I hope you find another answer for your baby.posted 02/03/2013 by Llimi
