THE GAG BULES WHICH STAND jlS TJEtE TO TOM THOROUGHLY RECKLESS CHARACTER, "Who Hesitates Short of No thine Would Bring Him WlUBe Blotch in "WASHINGTON, August Speaker Rood is a queer combination. Ho is a compound, the like of which, the world has never produced and the equal which it probably never will create. Imagine a crea- tion in human form composed of perfect self- confidence, unlimited nerve or courage, extra- ordinary brain powers, with a total disregard of conscience, a tongue that never lacks for words and cut oat for withering sarcasm, a backbone of steel, and you have Tyrant Tom Eecd. He attempted that which no other man in America would daro have conceived, and in it M as successful. It was the adoption of gag rules In this fight he started almost alone, whipping his party into line after the fight had commenced. He was denounced in terms that few men would have borne, yet he stood calm and firm and whipped his fight. Denunciation did not terrify him. Neither did threats of personal assault which ho had reason to fear at every moment. Dur- ing the wildest scenes, when maddened men were attempting to get to him and hurl him from the speaker's chair, and while their more conservative a7id dignified comrades were holding them by main force, the big man eat silently and simply smiled upon the howling mob beneath him. IIo carried his point and then used his power to pass tbe infamous force and fraud bill. Seventeen of his awn party woro him. Still ho whipped all but threo into line and voted thorn libo sheep. Ho ,had a democrat censured" for language which was deserved if not parliamentary, and "when republicans denounced each other, as liars and came to genuine blows on floor of the hou-iO he simply passed it over unnoticed.

Kceu makes a decision one day and reverses it the He is partisan to tho core, and does not deny it. He applies one sot of rules to the republicans and another to the demo- crats. The democrats are his meat, so to speak, and he does not hesitate to bag it. In iis estimation no punishment, however -severe, is too bad for a democrat. apparently cares nothing for public opinion, nor methods, be or dis- He works, for results, ignoring the jus- tice or injustice of obtaining them. In results he has been successful so far as the bouse is but his methods have enveloped him in an odium which few honest would If Eeed has a friend he cannot be as heartily as the democrats. Eat they fear him and tTaJfa not express themselves in public. Yet Tom Reed's day of reckoning will come. His high-handed methods cannot continue. When that dajr comes his own men will be the first to trample him under foot. Eeed is on his highest pinnacle of fame. Ho will never go higher, but will topple and fall from the weight of his own infamy. Still one cannot cover up adegree of admira- tion for a man with such a combination brains and nerve.

In an interview last, Mpndonca said that the amendment as reported by Senator Alrich was satisfactory to Brazil, and that she would How the Business of legislation Will Be Carried On. -WASHINGTON, August conference report on the river and harbor bill will be pre- sented to the senate early in the woefe, and its considelation asked for. The question may be disposed of promptly, but if it seems likely to lead to an extended debate the report will be laid itside, and the discussion of the tariff bill will be proceeded with. The debate on this measure will end Saturday. In the house tomorrow> the day will be given up to motions to pass measures under suspen- sion of the rules, including the senate resolu- tion providing for the removal of General Grant's remains to Arlington. Tho Clayton-Breckinridge election case will probably come up Tuesday, and the debate in connection with, it is expected to be of an in- teresting character. After the election case is disposed of tho intention is to set apart a day for the transaction of business pertaining to the District of Columbia.

KALEIGH, N- C-, August There is a lively fight for the secretaryship of the republican state executive committee. J. C. L. Harris, who for many years has held the position, desires to -continue in it, while Chairman Eaves wishes to oust him. It is leading to another quarrel in tbe party. It is stated today that J. C. Pritchard is to ce made collector of the western district next month, succeeding Eaves, who will be appointed revenue agent. 33ie English Syndicate and. Colorado Silver Mines. Col., August News this Commit an Error Which May Throw Heed Out of Congress. BEDDEFOBD, Me., August is much political excitement tonight, because of the oversight by tho Saco board of aldermen, not holding a meeting between August llth and 18th, t6 revise the check lists according to the requirement of the statutes. The Saco officials admit their error, though they claim that all other requirements relating to the election have been fulfilled. The Biddeford aldermen, who wore recently arrested and ar- raigned in the United States district court on the charge of neglect of duty, look upon the Saco aldermen's neglect as a parallel case. Leading Biddefcrd democrats are anxious to push the matter, and it is probable the arrests of the Saco aldermen will occur within a few days. A conference will bo held tomorrow, and it will then be action will be taken. The democrats claim that tbe Saco aldermen's error will invalidate the election, and that if tbe district gives a majority to Congressman Reed, his election will be contested. GomsOTmirK, S. C., August primary for this, the seventh congres- sional district, will be held on September 23d. The candidates are; G. W. Shell, II. M. Smith, Lieutenant Governor W. L. Mauldin Colonel I. Gr -Mclvissick. Those are all alli- ancemen except the latter. Shell and Smith are Tillman and subtreasury advocates. Much unpleasant comment has been made over the action of Shell, who is Tilimau's first lieuten- ant, and was thought to have the congressional bee in his bonnet all along until it has devel- oped that he promised each of tho others that ho would not bo a candidate, and would sup- port each of them with all his strength and in- fluence. Considerable indignation is felt for him by the others, since a few days ago he an- nounced himself a candidate, and on yesterday Candidate Smith let the cat out of tho bag, by the, deal made at Colnmibia, last fall by Tillman, Shell, Smith and Staclchouse, in which it was agieod that Tillman was to lie governor, Shell secretary of state, and Smith should go to congress from his district. The beginning of this row among the TUImamtes affords the straightouts considerable amuse- ment. Why the StralffUtoutg are Glad. CHARLESTON, S. C., Aug. unexpected defeat of the alliance candidatefor congress in tho third district has greatly de- lighted the straightout democrats, who have boon so heavily sat down upon thus far by the alliance, headed by Closes Tillman. D. K. Norm was a prominent official of the state alliance, and had its endorsement. He pledged himself to stand by the subtreaaury bill and answered all the other questions of tho catechism. There wore, however, half a dozen straightouts in the race, and tbe first primary loft Norris-iii the lead, with Geo. Johnston next, neither having a majority of the votesin tho districts. The straightouta have all along claimed that Tillman got the lead in. the race for governor by capturing tbe demo- cratic party machmeiy, and still claim, that with a primary election they can beat him for governor. They say the election in the third district proves that they were right. Although tho alliance has virtually got the governor and tho state legislature, things are not very peaceful in.the ranks. There are several other congressional fights on hand. In the second W. J. Tolbert, state lecturer of the alliance, is opposing Congressman Tillman, while in the fifth district there is a regular family fight be- tween three alliance candidates and several straightout democrats, which may result us did the fight in the third. In the fourth district Heinphili, the incumbent, will probably be re- elected, while in the sixth K. T. Stackhouse, allianceiuan, has no opposition. In" the first district the fight will be between Crawlev urtj and in the seventh there will be a triangular fight between Brayton, white republican, MUler, colored republican, and Elliott, demo- crat. It ia a curious fact that, although their white brethren are Lead over cars in politics, tho colored alliance has takeu absolutely no part in the congressional fight, even in those districts where there are republican candidates in tho field. MINNESOTA POLITICS. OF TS3S BOXES. THE PART -OF THE ALLIANCE. How Their Independent Action Might Affect Either Political Congres- sional Nominations Mode. ST. Minn., August The political situation in Minnesota at the present time is somewhat mixed, arising from the fact that the Farmers' Alliance has placed i very strong state ticket in the field which is being backed by a first-class state committee and a thorough organization. The convention which met in this city on July 16tU instant, and named the alliance ticket was composed of nearly 500 delegates, among whom were many able and well-known men, who had formerly been prominent in the two political parties. The platform adopted calls for state control of the railroads, a reduction in the leiral rate of interest, tho free coinage of silver, and speaks out as follows on tho tariff question: demand that the 'war which has too long survived the object of its creation, shall be radically revised, giving very material reduction on the necessaries of life, and placing raw material upon the free list to the end that we may compete with tho world for a market; and that such luxuries as whisky and tobacco shall in no manner be re- lieved from, internal taxation, till the high protective tariff has been wholly divested of its extortions; and we especially denounce the McKinley bill aa the crowning infamy of pro- tection." The fact that this plank denouncing the McKinley will be able to control the organization of the lower house and possibly the senate. The alliance state ticket, nominated in St Paul, on July 17th, is as-follows: Governor, S. M. Owen, of Hennepin county lieutenant governor, J. O. Barrett, o Traverse county. Secretary of atate, M. Wesenberg, of St JE. Mathison, of Lac Qui Parle. Auditor, P. H. Kahilly, of "Wabasha. Attorney general, J. M. Burlingame, of CJerk of the supreme court. F. W. Kloss, of 'LeSueur.

Baker, a man who has for more than thirty years been one of the republican leaders of tho state, demonstrated that the farmers of Minnesota are overwhelmingly against the republican idea of protec- tion. This, however, is no new thing. For a number of yeara the voters of this state have inclined to low tariff, and it was only by a bare major- ity and considerable pressure that the repub- lican state platform of 1888 was made to con- fbrm. with the national platform of that year. Tliia produced considerable dissatisfaction among the republican farmers who voted for President Harrison on the promise made by the state leaders that the tariff would bo re- duced. The McKinley bill helped to fan this discontent into-a flame and in the last six A Scandal Involving; the Danjjerfields and Blunts of Virginia. ASBUHY PARK, N.

A union labor mass meeting was to have boon bold tliere yesterday. On the morning train from LittleKock, among others, were J. B. McLaiufhlin, a well-known union labor orator, and George Small, of Springfield, Con way county, a prominent whiie republican, who has been hero for the purpose of getting union labor tickets for use in Con way county for the elec- tion tomorrow. Small carried the tickets, in all, in a valise. When the train stopped, a crowd of men sprang forward and rushed into the coach where Mclaughlin and Small wcr seated. Among the foremost, it is said, were Oily Beiitly, Jim Lucas jmd Walter Wells. Small was struck repeadly -upon the head with a loaded stick and soon 1 ost conscious- ness. Mi Laughlin was thrown upon the floor and his right shoulder severely w renched. After striking Small several additional blows, the satchel was dragged from beneath lug feet and passed out through, the crowd. In a few moments the assailants had left the car. What become of the tickets is not known.. Me- Laughlin got off the train on the side opposite the depot. He passed along the line of horse- men, but no attention was paid to him. All the business houses were closed and every man and boy as out, taking part in the general excitement. In spite of the murder- ous assault on Small, the rush seemed disposed to treat McLaughlin with some degree of courtesy after he left tho train, and he was thus enabled to get dinner at the hotel.

SAN FRANCISCO, August the vigi- lance of the hostlers at Senator Stanford's big Palo Alto ranch, near Menlo Park, last night prevented a fire which would have been a repe- tition of the disastrous lire of three years in which more than a dozen promising voting trotters and runners were burned. About y o'clock flames were1 detected in bales of straw near the main stable. This straw had just been packed in the large barn and sealed up for the winter. By the light of the burning straw two men were seen running, but danger was so preasinc that they could not be followed, though fired two shots at them. Wheirthe men got out the big fire hose they found a big knot tied in the mid- dle to make ituseless. The fire confined itself to the stable. Loss orf _stable, THE SI7N STOOD STIIX. decided majority. There ia no question that many democrats will vote the alliance ticket, but oven the republican state chairman does not estimate tho democratic alliance vote as more than one in four, so that a large alli- ance vote can not fail to help tho democrats. The estimates as to the number of votes that will be polled by the alliance ticket, vary. The president of tho alliance, Hon. R. J. places it at and in this he is backed up by Chairman Carrhigton Pholps, of tho state committee. The republican estimate made by Chairman Heatwole runs n to of which he claims one-half will come from the ranks of the democratic party. This is very low, however, and is credited by one who has had nn opportunity of ascertaining the senti- ineiit of tho farmers throughout the state. A fair estimate of the situation, as it is today, would give the farmers' ticket nearly one-third of the total vote of tho state. Of course this will be changed somewhat when the campaign of the two old parlies commences, but wel 1-in formed politicians exnross the opinion, that in no event can the alliance vote fall below This, iu'a total vote of ia certain to create havoc in the ranks of the old parties. Thus far the farmers have made nominations in three of the five congressional districts of the state, and in two of three their can- didates will bo endorsed by the democrats at their convention to be held early in September. General J. H. Baker, a campaign orator of more than atate fame, who waa formerly commissioner of pensions, is the second district nominee, and be has already commenced his campaign. For many years he haa been a low tariff man, which ex- plains his democratic endorsement. The chances are regarded as extremely favorable for his election.

The district is largely Scandinavian, and, with the feeling which exists against tbe present congressman, Hon. S. G. Comstock, caused by his votes for the McKinley bill and against free coinage of silver, the chances are decidedly favorable to Mr. Halvorsen'a election. In the third district the alliance has named W. W. Gamble for congress, but he stands no show of election. Thia district will undoubtedly elect a democrat as it did in 1886. In the first and fourth, districts no nominations nave been made by the Farmers' Alliance, and it is quite likely that the democratic nominees for these offices will be endorsed when they are placed in the field. The alliancemen throughout the atate are not disposed to give anything away this year, and in every one of the strong agricultural counties full county and legislative tickets have been nominated, and a large number of the members of the next legislature are certain to be frora the of the alliance. Of course, as there is no senator to be elected this coming winter, the members of the lower house chosen this fall will have to vote on a United States senator. The state senators elected, however, will hold over and will vote for a successor to Senator C. K. Davis, whose term wili expire on March 4, 1893, and whose successor must oe elected in January "of year. A resume of the situation shows that the al- liance ticket be elected, hut, if Owen, the alliance nominee for governor, receives or even, votes, the democrats "will carry the state.

Mi's. Daugerfield came here alone three weeks ago, and went to live at the cottage of Mrs. Engard. Mrs. Engard has lived hero fifteen years, and only receives as guests, rather than boarders, a few friends each sum- mer. Mrs. Dangerfield applied for room at her cottage armed with tho most unexceptional references, bringing letters from Mrs. Fitz- hugh and Mrs. Carroll, her aunts, who are well known in "Washington, and who are tho summer here at tho Curlew house. The hotel was crowded when Mrs. Dangerfield arrived, so she could not put up there, and Mrs. Engard took her in. The new-comer was handsome, vivacious and gay, and charmed the household, although she was seen only at meal times and at night when she came in to sleep. Sue went away day, sometimes accompanied by gen- tle, nen. "Fnons of my she used to de- scribe these gentlemen. Last Thursday Miss Sue Whejtt.also a Wash- ington belle, called on Mrs. Dangerfield. Miss Wheat had just arrived from Newport. Soon after two gentlemen in a swell turnout drove to the house, and Mrs. Dangeriield and Miss Wheat went away with them to the Monmouth park races. They bad not been gone long -n hen Mr. Blunt dashed up to the house in a T cart. He rang the bell and the door was opened by Engard's married daughter. She saw at a glance that he had boen drinking. It was the first time he had ever called at the house, so fahe asked whom he wished to see. "Mrs.Dangerfield. Is she ho asked. "She went out with, a young was tae answer. there any men with, he per- sisted. The lady became alarmed by the wicked gleam m the man's oye, so she "Does she ever have men call here or go out with he asked more savagely. The now thoroughly frightened woman again answered in the negative, whereupon Blunt said: "Well, when she comes in tell her to wait; I w ant to see and turning on hia heel he mounted his carriage arid drove away. Mrs. Dangerfield, Miss Wheat and their es- corts returned about 7 o'clock p. m. Mrs. Engard'3 daughter spoke about Bhmt's visit. "Oh, God, is he she gasped. Mrs. Daugerfield and Mrs. Engnrd's daugh- ter, with a young man, sat on the porch until about 11 o'clock, ivbou Mrs. Dj.ngerheld went to her room for the night. About ten minutes after 11 Blunt, on bis T-cart, came dashing up to the door. The ,horse was flecked with foam, and lus driver appeared greatly uivler tho influence of liquor. O'f Mrs. daughter, who was on the porch, he le.uned that Mrs. Dangerfield had retired. He demanded to see her. Miss En- gard went to call her, and she agreed to como down when dressed. Blunt fumed, and finally declared he would not wait, and, thrusting Miss Eugard asttie, bounded up the stairs. Mrs. Daugerneld, n ho had been at her door, banged it shut, and Blunt, not knowing which was her room, kicked in the first door he reached, which was the room occupied by Mrs. Eiigard. Mrs, Engard screamed when ho rushed into her room. He cursed his mistake, and, running across the hall, broke in another door, where a young married woman, was cow- ering in terror with her baby. Again he uttered a string of oaths and got out. The third time he was successful in find- ing Mrs. Dangerfield. As soon as he caught sight of her he clutched her by tho throat and threw her ontbo bed, attired as. she was only in her night robo. Then he raised a chair, and with it beat her cruelly about the head, face and body. Not satisfied with this, he dragged her by her hair around the room, and out into the hallway. He cursed her mean- time like a crazy man, and Ins oaths aroused every ono in the cottage. The people became so frightened that they climbed out on the por- tico and stood there until the police, who had been telegraphed for, arrived. Blunt was ar- rested struggle and locked up. No one appeared against him. and he was fined only. Meantime Mrs. Engard had requested Mrs. Dangerfield to leave her house. The latter's eyes were block and blue, and BLunt'a finger marks wore plainly discernible aground her throat. She was nearly crazy, and bogged every one to say nothing about the as'iaault or about her. With her trunk she was driven to the depot and took the first train for Jersey City. Blunt disappeared after leaving the court- room. Today bis stable was slupped to Sbeeps- head Bay, and he has probably gone there, too.

Amazon.com is offering a new service, called Kindle Unlimited, aimed at consumers who do heavy book reading and/or listening.
I don't mean for this column to become a running commentary on the latest goings-on at Amazon.com, but there's no escaping the fact that after two decades, the e-commerce pioneer remains at the forefront of digital commerce innovation.
The new Amazon Fire smartphone, introduced at an invitation-only press conference on June 18, includes features specifically designed to encourage shopping on Amazon.com.
Amazon.com reportedly plans to provide Kindle-based checkout for brick-and-mortar retailers, possibly as soon as summer 2014.
You've got to hand it to Amazon.com. While consistently turning a profit has eluded Amazon for the past 18 years, the company has consistently taken a lead in disrupting retail.
Amazon.com has introduced the Mobile Associates API for Kindle Fire and other Android devices, enabling developers to sell physical and digital items from Amazon.com within their apps and games.
Amazon.com increased net sales an impressive 22% during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. But the Internet retailing giant reported a net loss of $7 million due to operating expenses and investments in warehouses, digital content and other areas, compared with net income of $7 million in the year-ago period.
Amazon.com announced that it has agreed to acquire social site Goodreads, an online book recommendation community that has more than 16 millions around the globe.
Some are merchants, with long careers in brick-and-mortar stores. Others are tech trailblazers, using new media to match merchandise and buyers. Others are influencing retail in less direct, but no less significant, ways. All share an ability to create new opportunities and, in their own way, are looking to reinvent the shopping experience. And all wield a great deal of influence in today's complex retail landscape.
By Jeff Weidauer, Vestcom International
Target will soon stop selling the Amazon Kindle line of e-readers and tablets.
Barnes & Noble is expected to unveil the new Nook -- its response to Amazon.com's new Kindle Fire tablet -- next Monday, the Associated Press reported.
Tablets and smartphones are redefining the retail shopping experience and will be a $5 billion market per year by 2015, according to a new research report by IHL Group.
Borders announced that it has expanded its partnership with Kobo, the maker of an e-reader that at $129.99 is about $10 to $20 less than the Kindle and Nook, respectively.
There's been a lot of buzz about the Apple iPad since it hit the market last month, and many predict it could have a significant impact on the way people shop in the future.
If you've been on Amazon.com lately, you're probably familiar with its big marketing push...

UAW Women's History Month Spotlight: Julie Kushner
Women have had important roles in UAW history and today women leaders in the UAW are continuing that legacy of leadership. Region 9A Director Julie Kushner has spent her life advocating for social justice for workers and women. Her earliest memories are of her mother showing her what women can achieve when they decide to make the world a better place.
March is Women's History Month. From the sit-down strikes of 1936-37 through the war years of Rosie the Riveter, from the postwar fight for jobs to today's campaigns for pay equity and safe workplaces, women have played a key role in UAW history. Side by side, women and men are building a stronger union every day. We salute UAW women everywhere. Here's the story of one noteworthy UAW woman: Read more >>>

Now is the time to commit to more activism for women
March is Women's History Month. Women have always made history and they reminded us of their power by marching in record numbers on Jan. 21. More than two million women around the world marched to show their strength in protecting civil, human and reproductive rights of women, packing the streets of our nation's capital in and marching through the downtowns of cities and towns, large and small, across America. Women and their supporters arrived in Washington on buses or flew from all over the country to show the power of women to defend their rights, encourage each other to donate and get involved in causes that promote women, and to run for public office once they return home.

Does anyone know the where to find the "written" policy about the use of sleeping under tarps at Philmont?
For example, if I wanted to use a Gatewood Cape with some bug netting and a "floor" underneath it, would that be acceptable?
Are bivy's out of the question? I saw the previous thread about hantavirus, but I suspect the biggest issue could be privacy.

Page 7 of this link ~ http://www.philmontscoutranch.org/filestore/philmont/pdf/GuidebookToAdventure.pdf is about all you may find.
A Gatewood Cape is acceptable with some sort of floor (Tyvek, etc.). I have used a GoLite Shangri La 2 and an older MSR model which was similar to the GoLite. I opted for the Tarptent Contrail in 2012 simply because of all the dusty sites. However, this past season they had a good bit of rain.
Some campsites can be difficult for a tarp versus a freestanding lightweight tent simply because of the ground. I've camped at one terrific site in Ponil that was literally on the top of large boulders. We had limited stake use with more rock use to keep tents/tarps upright.
The key would be to have the sides guyed as close to the ground as possible and you shouldn't have any issue.

Due to the terrain, wildlife, and sudden change in weather conditions, tents are a required shelter for a Philmont trek and therefore all crew members are required to sleep in a tent.
Bivy sacks are not acceptable. Every member of your crew should be able to set, take
down, and fold the tent. Philmont has 2 person backpacking tents (footprint 5'6" x 7'6",approximate weight = 6lbs, 3oz) available for your use at no charge. If you choose to provide your own tent it must be a two person tent and free of all food smells. If you think your tent may have been compromised by food smells, please use a Philmont tent.
Philmont will allow a single person tent in the event of an odd numbered crew.
Philmont has begun to introduce a new freestanding backpacking tent in cooperation with Cascade Design and MSR. The tent is called "Thunder Ridge". It requires 6-8 stakes and weighs 5lbs, 13oz. A crew may be able to select these tents if they are available at the time the crew checks out equipment at Services. No pre-reservations are available. (700 tents will be available in 2013.)
Space for tents in most campsites is limited. Use of two-person tents minimizes the
footprint and avoids encroaching on the "Bearmuda" Triangle (page 28). Two one-person
tents take up nearly twice as much space as one 2-person tent.
A 6' x 8' waterproof ground cloth must be used under each tent. These are not provided
with the Philmont tents.Oct 10, 2013 at 11:17 am #2032767

All participants and staff engaged in hiking and camping should take the following
precautions to reduce the likelihood of exposure to potentially infectious materials.
• Avoid coming into contact with rodents and rodent burrows or disturbing dens
(such as pack rat nests).
• Do not pitch tents or place sleeping bags in areas in proximity to rodent feces or
burrows or near possible rodent shelters (e.g., garbage boxes or woodpiles).
• Do not use or enter cabins or other enclosed shelters that are rodent infested until
they have been appropriately cleaned and disinfected. Report these to the next
staffed camp.
• Do not sleep on the bare ground. Use tents with floors or good ground cloths.Oct 10, 2013 at 4:59 pm #2032902

They really would prefer everyone in an enclosed tent. For rodents, wildlife, and insect avoidance, as well as weather protection.
They dont specifically require this however. If a tent or shaped tarp (pyramid, etc) can be pitched tight to the ground, pretty much enclosed, and you have a groundcloth, thats fine as well. No high pitches ala dining fly, a-frame, V, etc.
No one is going to check what you have before hit the trail, and its highly highly unlikely that once on the trail they will make you get a philmont tent if they disagree with what you do have. You cannot do that until the first staffed camp or commissary, and by then your Ranger will probably have departed anyway.
Without a doubt, they might push the issue more with boys if they felt something was unsafe somehow, but generally will allow adults to do whatever they want. People have used homemade tents made out of polycro or polyethylene space blankets and tape.
A gatewood cape and groundsheet would be fine I believe. Others have used the GC there.
The written words are kind of vague, and thats probably good. I used a hexamid, worked fine, no comments from Ranger.Oct 14, 2013 at 10:42 am #2033993

Having been (as have many) and used both I would not recommend a tarp & tyvek. First is the dust. Trails are well trod and sites well used, so topsoil is loose. With the wind you will get a lot of dust. I used a HS Rainshadow. It is a great tent but really nothing more than a tarp with a floor attached by a 6" net skirt. I had to empty the dust out most mornings. Second is rain. If perfectly pitched it will work but you don't always have lux of a perfect site. We were in Cook Canyon and had just finished setting up camp when the heavens opened. We had a 2 hour down pour and water was rushing through the camp. All of our tents (incl the Rainshadow)had bathtub floors and no one was wet. Water did run under several of the tents. This storm by the way flooded Indian Writings.Nov 27, 2013 at 10:28 am #2048629

I've been directly involved with 3 Philmont crews. In all those 3 crews, we've used 4 man 10×10 Oware Pyramids. All treks have been in early August (monsoon season). All have stayed dry.
But some other crews using conventional tents had a few experiences getting wet from the rains … especially this past summer.
(BTW, Attending the advisors' coffee, can provide you with a wealth of stories & information … but that's another thread)
In each one of those cases, their advisors noted that in retrospect they didn't avoid one the 4 Ws (Water, Wind, Wildlife, Widow-makers) on picking a proper place to set up … their scouts knew how to set-up their tent, but was not enough, they were not practiced at picking a proper place to set it up at.
In the "worst" example that was shared, a crew arrived late into their camp site & a pair of scouts hurried up and set up their tent in what turned out to be a high drainage spot (while there was no erosion ruts to flag it, there were very obvious signs in the forest duff that showed that it was a drainage path … the scouts saw it, but it didn't register what they were seeing).
What happened? Their tent created a dam of sorts – restricting the drainage outflow, but had no effect on the inflow. During a overnight deluge, the water came in fast enough to crest over their bathtub floor … causing some middle of the night scrambling. They were lucky in that they didn't get really soaked, their tent being self-supporting was easier to move quickly & that they had synthetic gear … it all turned out just to be a bothersome learning experience … an experience they could laugh at later.
The point is this: We were at the same camp, sleeping with the aforementioned canopy tarps (pyramids) and we stayed perfectly dry during that same deluge.
How? we simply took enough time to practice & understand the 4Ws beforehand. The knowledge of how to use gear is not the same as knowledge of how to stay safe in the back country.
When I hear about shelters failing in protecting, sometimes it IS the shelter (wrong season use), but MOST times is a lack of knowledge & practice.
BTW: We didn't experience a lot of dust because we were at Philmont during the monsoon season, but being behind a wind break can help reduce wind blow dust (but, NOT eliminate it). But then, if a tent can truly seal out dust, that's a tent that has lousy ventilation.

we were at philmont in drought conditions, and its a pretty dusty place as you can imagine.
You will be filthy in those conditions. Everything you have will have dust in it.
Zippers on packs and tents get hard to work due to the fine dust in them. We had zippers on one older pack a scout was using fail due to the dirt. He had to replace his pack midway thru the trek.
Even so, using a hexamid I didnt have any issues with it. Wind was blowing the dust horribly at Harlan, but our camp was sheltered in the trees.

GE has indicated that it is partnering with communications platform provider Trilliant on the provision of SaaS-based smart-grid services to Holly Springs in Mississippi.
The city is one of several to have signed up to GE's (Fairfield, CT, USA) Grid IQ Solutions as a Service, along with Skiatook in Oklahoma, Norcross in Georgia and Leesburg in Florida.
All are looking to enhance operational efficiency, improve reliability and increase customer engagement through the use of the GE service.
Trilliant's (Redwood City, CA, USA) platform uses a combination of wireless technologies, which – it says – are purpose-built for the smart grid, allowing utilities to support advanced metering infrastructure and applications.
According to a report from Greentech Media, while GE is partnering with Trilliant in Holly Springs, it has teamed up with Silver Spring Networks (Redwood City, CA, USA) in Leesburg and Consert – owned by Switzerland's Landis+Gyr (Zug) – in Norcross.
"GE and Trilliant working together is ideal for smart grid deployments," said Kelvin Buck, the mayor of Holly Springs. "We believe GE's proven leadership and expertise through its Grid IQ SaaS offering, along with Trilliant's Smart Grid Communications Platform technology, will provide us the best smart grid solutions that fit our unique needs."
Customers of the service pay GE a monthly fee for a package of features, such as a consumer web portal, asset monitoring and outage detection.
The industrial giant claims the solution will not only reduce smart-grid deployment costs but also allow utilities to launch meters faster than would be otherwise possible.
Greentech Media says GE is facing competition in the smart-grid-as-a-solution area from the likes of Leidos (Reston, VA, USA) and AT&T (Dallas, TX, USA), as well as Silver Spring Networks, GE's partner in Leesburg.
Nevertheless, GE is reportedly expecting to capture another three customers in the near future, hinting that it needs to scale up its operations to make them profitable.

More than a dozen people have died and many more have been forced to abandon their homes after severe flooding in the Australian state of Queensland.
All of the 13 confirmed deaths in this week's floods were in the Lockyer Valley and the nearby cities of Toowoomba and Ipswich.
Five deaths were in or near the small town of Grantham, which has a population of about 370.
The toll is likely to rise further, with authorities holding grave fears for 12 people, most of them from two families, who are still missing in the devastated valley community of Murphys Creek. A further 74 are reported missing.

To be a teacher, you must acquire a Bachelor Degree in Education. After which you can proceed to your Masteral or Doctorate degree. To finish the course of education is like crossing a very narrow bridge. It requires perseverance in order to survive. Graduates should pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) and will be given a license to teach in public schools. Some years ago, private schools were hiring non – LET passers. So fresh graduates and not yet licensed can grab a job in teaching. But nowadays, almost all private schools are looking for LET passers applicants.
Online teaching jobs in the Philippines have been increasing for the past years enabling many Filipino Teachers to earn. To study and learn is no longer impossible through distance learning. It is now a reality through the help of the latest technology. Online teaching in the Philippines caters the needs of learners from China, Korea, Japan and other countries.
It has been a trend that English language is the most taken subject by many foreign students. Fluency in English is an edge when you desire to pursue a degree in the university. The Philippines has a bilingual education policy. The use of Tagalog and English as mediums of instruction is being observed. Filipinos are known to be fluent in speaking English and competent in the field of grammar in this part of Asia. This is one of the many reasons why Filipinos are very in demand in the field of online teaching.
Online Teaching jobs in the Philippines are growing, mainly due to the lowering cost of Internet and computer devices which are necessary for the job. Schools that offer online teaching services employ teachers who can speak English well and possess positive working attitude. Filipino culture is sweet and kind in nature. They can easily adjust to the different online learners. Hence, online teaching is a growing industry in the Philippines. They attract foreign learners to learn English online. The attitude, the strong personality of a Filipino teacher motivates the students to enjoy learning and appreciate the online learning.
Attaining a bachelor degree of education is an advantage in this job. You can be justly paid with your service since online teaching is now prevalent and flourishing. Being an online teacher is not an easy task. It demands devotion despite of pressure due to the time schedule. Some schedules are in graveyard in adjustment to the available time of the students. The students usually study online after school hours.
Online teaching could be a dream teaching career in the Philippines as many online teaching schools are continuously seeking teachers to accept the challenge.

Five Top 500px Wildlife Photographers

Following on from Trey Ratcliffe's recent Favourite Five 500px Photographers post at Stuck in Customs, I've decided too to cobble together a top five such list myself, under the Wildlife genre.
I'm sure there are many I've not had the priviledge to discover yet, but these are the top five I have found so far. For wildlife photography, I am defining that as photography of animals in the wild – untamed and free, so while there are very good captive animal photographers (i.e Marina Cano and Wolf Ademeit), I've decided to keep my selection to just that – exclusively that of photographers of free roaming wildlife.
So, in no established order, my current favourite wildlife photographers on 500px are:
As with any list of this type it's always difficult to know who to leave out, and on another day the list may well be represented by other photographers. For many others who's work I admire, you can always visit my 500px friends list.
Finally, for what it's worth, the badge to my own collection of pictures that I have on 500px:
So am I missing anyone? If I am, then please let me know.

Ginger Chicken Under A Brick
This one-of-a-kind recipe is sure to please the whole family. Pair with Toasted Bread Salad for a delicious dinner.
- Servings: 4
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, September Fall 2008
- 1 small (3-pound) chicken
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and very finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, very finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4 tablespoons safflower oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut chicken through the ribs on either side of the backbone using poultry shears; remove and discard. Turn chicken breast side up, place your palm on the breastbone, and press hard to flatten the bird completely. Place chicken skin side down and pry out the breastbone with your fingers and discard. Cut in half where breastbone has been removed.
In a large bowl, mix together ginger, garlic, cilantro, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons safflower oil. Add chicken and rub with ginger mixture to fully coat. Use immediately or cover and let marinate, refrigerated, up to overnight.
Wrap 2 bricks with aluminum foil. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add remaining safflower oil. Place chicken, skin side down, in skillet and top with covered bricks. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.
Remove bricks and turn chicken. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. Spoon pan juices over chicken and serve immediately.

Loloata Island Resort
Loloata Island, Port Moresby, National Capital, Papua New Guinea
Around 16 km (10 miles) east of downtown, this offshore-island hotel technically bills itself as a dive resort, but there is no compulsion to don a wetsuit. Even if you don't want to check out the nearby underwater World War II wreck sites, this still makes a friendly and relaxing getaway. There is a secluded sandy beach nearby, and the island is big enough that you can go walking, birdwatching, or snorkeling. Or just unwind. Rooms are simple, with polished wood floors, and have sea views and a/c. All meals are included in the rate, and the food is very good. Airport transfers are also included, and take around 30 minutes all-told, by road and boat. The only drawback to the location is if you have business in the city—the traveling time may make this unsuitable. But if you are in no hurry, there are few better options in PNG, especially in the price range.
- good value
- safe
- quiet
- remoteness prevents a quick getaway
Rate Includes: All meals

Prelims | Finals
Coach Bottom | Bruno Ortiz | Championships Central
Site: Bloomington, Ind. (Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center)
Event: Big Ten Championships (Day 2 of 4)
U-M Team Standing: 1st of 10 Teams (316 points) after Day 2
Next U-M Event: Friday, March 1 -- at Big Ten Championships - Day 3 (Bloomington, Ind.), 11 a.m.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The No. 3-ranked University of Michigan men's swimming and diving team won three more titles to pad its lead during day two of the Big Ten Championships on Thursday (Feb. 28) at the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center. Sophomore Bruno Ortiz (Tokyo, Japan/St. Mary's International) won the 50-yard freestyle and swam the anchor leg on the winning 400-yard medley relay team, while junior Connor Jaeger (Fair Haven, N.J./Rumson-Fair Haven) won the 500-yard freestyle. U-M leads the competition with 316 points.
The Wolverines added to their streak of dominance in the 500-yard freestyle thanks to some depth and fast swims from the team's two Olympians. Jaeger won the second individual Big Ten title of his career, taking first with a time of 4:13.44, the fastest time in the country heading into the weekend. Freshman Anders Lie Nielsen (Vanloese, Denmark) led most of the race but ended up taking third (4:14.15) after Jaeger turned it loose over the last 200 yards, improving on his splits in each of the last four 50-yard segments. Both times were NCAA 'A' cuts. With a fourth-place finish (4:16.83) from Michael Wynalda (Wyoming, Mich./Grandville) and a sixth-place finish (4:17.48) from junior Sean Ryan (Hixson, Tenn./McCallie School), Michigan had four of the six fastest times in the 'A' final.
Three others scored points in the consolation final, led by senior/junior Hassaan Abdel Khalik (Mississauga, Ontario/Silverthorn Collegiate) in ninth (4:17.20), sophomore Justin Glanda (Rochester Hills, Mich./Cranbrook Kingswood) in 14th (4:22.69) and senior Ryan Feeley (Rye, N.Y./Rye) in 15th (4:23.03).
The 200-yard individual medley 'A' final consisted of four swimmers from Michigan and four from Indiana. IU's Cody Miller won the race, knocking off two-time defending champion Kyle Whitaker (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton). Freshman Dylan Bosch (Johannesburg, South Africa/Crawford College, Sandton) just out-touched Whitaker to take second (1:42.59), giving Bosch the second-fastest time in school history and third in Big Ten history. Whitaker was third (1:42.61). Both men met the NCAA automatic-qualifying standard and improved on their times from the morning's preliminaries. Michigan's other two 'A' finalists were junior John Wojciechowski (Scottsdale, Ariz./Phoenix Brophy Prep) in sixth (1:44.87) and freshman Peter Brumm (Cornelius, N.C./Hough) in eighth (1:47.27). Sophomore Richard Funk (Edmonton, Alberta/Strathcona) also scored points for the team with a 13th-place finish (1:46.77).
No Michigan swimmer had won a conference title in the 50-yard freestyle in 20 years, but that streak was ended on Thursday by B. Ortiz. He was fourth in the morning's preliminaries but zoomed past the field in 19.27 -- an NCAA 'A' cut, a time that establishes a new school record and one that is also third fastest in Big Ten history. Graduate student Zachary Turk (Akron, Ohio/St. Edwards) finished fifth (19.49), with Bruno's older brother, senior Miguel Ortiz (Tokyo, Japan/St. Mary's International), finishing eighth (19.76). The team's lone 'B' finalist was senior Evan Gregg (Blacksburg, Va./Blacksburg) in 11th (19.96).
The Wolverines capped off a fantastic evening with a win in the 400-yard medley relay, a performance that met the NCAA 'A' standard and set new school and pool records. M. Ortiz started it off in record-setting fashion by himself, breaking his own previously held school record with a time of 46.05 on the leadoff leg. Following a 100-yard split of 51.77 by Funk, senior Sean Fletcher (Vienna, Va./James Madison) swam his 100-yard butterfly leg in 45.61, putting a little distance between Michigan and Indiana before B. Ortiz closed out the relay with a 41.99 split in the freestyle. The Wolverines' winning margin was larger due to Indiana and Penn State, the original second- and third-place finishing teams, getting disqualified.
On the diving side, Michigan was represented by junior Jack Lee (North Egremont, Mass./The Berkshire School) and freshman Timothy Faerber (Potomac, Md./Churchill). Lee was the higher finisher of the two, scoring points for the team via his 11th-place finish (333.15). He was 14th after preliminaries but moved up three spots in the consolation final. Faerber finished 24th (270.50) in his first Big Ten Championships appearance.
The third day of the Big Ten Championships commences tomorrow (Friday, March 1). Preliminaries will begin at 11 a.m., with event finals starting at 6:30 p.m. Among the events are the 400-yard IM, 100-yard butterfly, 200-yard freestyle, 100-yard breaststroke, 100-yard backstroke, three-meter diving and the 200-yard freestyle relay.

Michigan had six NCAA 'A' times, 14 NCAA 'B' times and 15 career-best swims on Thursday.
Through seven events, Michigan has five champions (three relay, two individual). Indiana has the other two (200-yard IM, one-meter diving).
The last U-M swimmer to win a conference title in the 50-yard freestyle was Gustavo Borges in 1993.
The previous school record in the 50-yard freestyle was 19.36, set by Brent Lang in 1990.
Prior to Indiana's win in the 200-yard individual medley, Michigan had won the last five Big Ten titles in the race dating back to 2008 (Kyle Whitaker won in 2011 and 2012).
It was Michigan's 26th title in the 500-yard freestyle (19th in the last 21 Big Ten Championships meets) and 20th in the 50-yard freestyle.
Connor Jaeger was the third different U-M swimmer on the active roster to win the Big Ten title in the 500-yard freestyle, joining Sean Ryan (2011) and Ryan Feeley (2012).
Two school records went down in the 400-yard medley relay. Miguel Ortiz's previous school record in the 100-yard backstroke was 46.33, set last season. He set the new record by virtue of leading off the relay (46.05). The old school record on the relay was 3:07.16, set by Alon Mandel, Jon Hiett, Chris Brady and Bobby Savulich back in 2009.
Michigan Head Swimming Coach Mike Bottom
On the team's performance during day two, specifically the 400-yard medley relay ... "You have to start with the ending. That relay some something else. It was special. You've got a guy like Bruno Ortiz, who won the 50-yard freestyle, which nobody expected. He breaks a school record then anchors our school record, which is crazy. His brother started off our relay. Richard Funk was battling the best breaststrokers in the country. Sean Fletcher put the hammer down. Going 45 in the butterfly is crazy. I know most people don't understand times, but that's crazy. That's so fast."
On the 500-yard freestyle ... "Those guys battle. It was nice to see a battle between all those Maize hats. Dave Brandon got to give out the award at the end, and he commented, 'A lot of Maize and Blue out there, Mike,' so I feel pretty good about that. When you talk about the 500-yard freestyle, you talk about Michigan."
On the 200-yard individual medley ... "You know, it's hard going against the best of the best and only getting second and third. When you still do best times, what can you say? School records, this and that, and you're getting beat. That's okay by me. As long as they get better when they get in the water, we'll eventually get those."
On the 50-yard freestyle ... "The way it works is that it's the team. Bruno is there because Zachary Turk joined us. He's there because Miguel Ortiz was here teaching him along the way. Sean Fletcher is in that group. They all work together. They all help each other. And they're all getting better."
U-M Junior Connor Jaeger
On the preliminaries of the 500-yard freestyle ... "The preliminaries were so fast. It's ridiculous how fast this meet has gotten over the past few years. For the guys in this race, we had a sense of urgency going in, especially with it being the first individual race of the meet. We knew we had to counteract IU's diving. I was in the last heat of prelims. Seeing the previous heats and our guys do great times, it only increased that. I wasn't very happy with my performance, to be honest, and I wasn't sure how it would go at night but having half the heat be Michigan guys took a lot of pressure off."
On the finals ... "I tried to turn the jets on at the 150-yard mark. Anders was so far ahead from the start. It was hard for me to see around him, but I was able to see around the other guys, and that's what I was going for. I didn't care about beating Anders. I just wanted to stay ahead and continue with my strategy."
On the win ... "It feels good. At the time, I was worried about the team scoring. The 500-yard freestyle is one of our stronger events, so scoring big in that event was crucial. I was happy to be able to score points for the team. At first, I was a little too preoccupied with team standings to be happy, but now, I'm a little more happy. Losing is never fun. I'm just going to take this win and gain some momentum going into NCAAs."
On how he felt the team performed at the meet ... "I think some places in the 500-yard freestyle, we could have been better, but overall, everyone really stepped up. The guy from Indiana swam so well, but we went 2-3-6-8. In the 50-yard freestyle, those guys stepped up. Bruno won. It was the same way in the relay. We're doing it. We're taking it one day at a time. We'll try to touch people out when we can and keep fighting for Michigan."
U-M Senior Sean Fletcher
On the 400-yard medley relay ... "It was definitely a good race. We were already motivated knowing that IU had a bunch of divers in the finals. We were under some pressure to perform well, but I thought we performed. Having Bruno close it out, I think that made us more comfortable. We were all really fired up to swim fast."
On his butterfly split on the relay ... "I was fairly happy with it. I think I could fix a few things. I didn't swim anything all day so I was a little wired and ready to go after sitting around all day. I was ready to swim fast. I think I let it get the best of me a little bit, but I'm happy overall. I've just got to carry it over to the rest of the meet."
On the rest of the meet ... "I think tomorrow, just like today, our focus will be on getting guys into finals during the morning. The preliminaries are where we're going to win the meet. Everyone knows what they need to do. We're going to focus on the little things and execute."

Jorvik's last king
Throughout the Viking Age, there were many battles between the Vikings and the English. In the 9th century, the English king Alfred the Great stopped the Vikings taking over all of England. In the 10th century the English reconquered much of the land held by Vikings. In 954, they drove out Eric Bloodaxe, the last Viking king of Jorvik. After Eric was killed in battle, the Vikings in England agreed to be ruled by England's king.
King Cnut
In Viking times, a king had to be strong to fight and keep his land. In the early AD 1000s, England had a weak king. His name was Ethelred 'the Unready'. Ethelred gave Viking raiders gold to stop their attacks. This money was called 'Danegeld'. The Vikings took the gold, but still attacked anyway. So in 1002, Ethelred's soldiers killed Viking families in the Danelaw. This made King Sweyn of Denmark so angry he invaded England. Ethelred had to run away. In 1016 Sweyn's son Cnut became king of England. Cnut (also known as Canute) was a Christian and a strong ruler. For the next few years England was part of his Viking empire, along with Denmark and Norway.
The Norman Conquest
In 1066 England was conquered by William, Duke of Normandy. The Normans were the descendants of Vikings who had settled in France. They took over all of England, including the Danelaw. In 1069 the Normans burned Jorvik. This was the end of the Viking Age in England.
In Scotland, Viking earls went on ruling some islands for hundreds of years. They were driven from the mainland of Scotland by 1100, but remained 'lords of the isles' (the Western Isles) until the 1200s. The islands of Orkney and Shetland were more Norwegian than Scottish. They did not officially become part of Scotland until 1469.
What the Vikings left behind
Archaeologists find the remains of Viking houses, burial sites, treasure hoards, carvings on stones, and writing carved in runes. Vikings left their mark on Britain in other ways too, such as language, Lots of familiar English words originally came from the Vikings' Norse language. Examples are 'husband', 'egg', 'law' and 'knife'. Place names show where Vikings once lived. A place with a name ending in -by, -thorpe or -ay was almost certainly settled by Vikings. The Vikings also left behind many stories about real people, called 'sagas'. Scotland has its own saga from the Viking Age, called 'Orkneyinga Saga' or 'The History of the Earls of Orkney'.

Movistar Activa Top-up in the UK

Does anyone know where I can top this up in the UK?
Or a website that I can do this on which is in English?
It is very easy to top-up in Spain when I am out there, but I do not speak
enough Spanish to do it from the UK.
I'm not sure if it'll work (it may only work with a *Spanish* credit
card), but...
- Go to http://www.terra.es/recarga_moviles/
- Put your phone number in and you'll get a PIN (clave) sent by SMS
which will work on the next step.
- I'm not sure what it is as I don't have a Movistar SIM, but copying
and pasting text into http://babelfish.altavista.com/ may translate
enough for you.
The other methods listed on the Movistar website look like they won't
work while you're abroad or if you haven't set them up before.
It appears to be Spanish Only Dan - I tried it when my Activa SIM needed
topping up earlier in the year - you'll get the SMS back allowing you to
progress on the terra web page but I never got a confirming SMS with an
updated balance nor was my card charged. Seems the only way is when in
Spain - or at least with a code/card from Spain. I managed to get a top
up code from somebody who helped me out and sent it over to me as my
balance expiry was between visits and I like/try to get maximum validity
from each top up - I was able to top up with that code by dialing
customer services from here in the UK though without a problem. I got
a new balance SMS pretty much staright away.
Also worth remembering that Activa balance validity is now 6 months
rather than the previous 9

Israeli Police Arrest Two Suspected Fixers in Hadassah Hospital Bribery Case
Four doctors questioned under caution in alleged pay-off scheme for 'jumping surgery queue.'
Four doctors questioned under caution in alleged pay-off scheme for 'jumping surgery queue.'
Thousands more submitted claims to the Department of Justice in regards to billions in losses suffered through the now notorious Ponzi scheme.
Director of Israeli office of the Hadassah women's organization pursued secret deal, hatched among officials close to Netanyahu, to privatize parts of medical center, according to recordings obtained by Army Radio.
Medical staff failed to recognize deterioration of 7-month-old's condition in ICU, ministry says.
Appointment seen as controversial given Ze'ev Rothstein is facing disciplinary proceedings in connection with allegations of involvement in so-called Class Clinic case at Sheba.
