TEANECK, N.J. – Steve Wilgus (Woolwich, N.J./Gloucester Catholic) had three hits, including a home run, and four RBI's as the Monmouth University baseball team defeated Fairleigh Dickinson, 8-2, Friday afternoon at the Naimoli Complex. With the win, the Hawks improve to 22-14 (13-4 NEC), while the Knights fall to 6-25 (2-15 NEC).
Andrew McGee (Toms River, N.J./Toms River South) pitched his sixth complete game of the year to improve to 7-1 on the season. He allowed two earned runs on seven hits and a walk, striking out nine. Joe Bamford (Washington, N.J./Warren Hills Regional [Northampton C.C.]) and Dan Shea (Wilmington, Del./Salesianum) had two hits each. Both Bamford and Shea scored a run, while Shea also drove in one. Chris Perret (Morris Plains, N.J./Morris Catholic) and Jon Guida (Martinsville, N.J./Bridgewater Raritan) had a hit, a run, and an RBI each. Craig Sweeney (Middletown, N.J./Middletown South), Owen Stewart (Howell, N.J./St. Rose) and Kyle Perry (Toms River, N.J./Toms River South) had a hit and a run apiece.
The Hawks wasted no time jumping all over the Knights with six runs in the first, chasing FDU starting pitcher Nick Cuono after just two-thirds of an inning. Wilgus led off with a home run down the right field line, before a Sweeney double, Stewart hit-by-pitch and Bamford single loaded the bases. Perret followed with an RBI single and Guida drove in Stewart with a sacrifice fly. Shea's single to right center plated Bamford. Following a Perry hit-by-pitch to load the bases, Cuono was pulled in favor of Craig Warner. Wilgus greeted him with a single through the right side for his second and third RBI's of the inning and the Hawks' fifth and sixth runs of the stanza, giving MU a 6-0 lead after one half inning.
Monmouth tacked on two more runs in the fifth. Guida reached on a one-out error, stole second, moved to third on a Perry single and scored on a failed pickoff attempt. Perry moved to second on the failed pickoff and scored on a Wilgus single up the middle, giving the MU leadoff hitter four RBI's on the day.
The Knights scratched across one run in both the bottom of the eighth and ninth. A two-out double by Ryan McGrath got things started before Riley Moonan walked. Kyle Weeks then singled to left center to bring in McGrath and cut the Hawks' lead to 8-1 after eight innings. Another two-out double, this time by Jack Loftus in the ninth, set the table for Jordan Ritz's RBI single, before McGee closed out his sixth complete game of the season.
The Hawks and Knights return to action tomorrow, when they play a doubleheader of seven-inning games. First pitch from Teaneck, N.J., is scheduled for 1 p.m.

The breakfast was simple and good. I like the girl playing Kucheng for us while we were having breakfasts.

An oasis of tranquillity
The owner takes extremely good care of you and so do the staff who are simply outstanding. The tea served with watermelon seed boscuits are reallywelcome. There is no meal served here and oneneeds to go out but that is not a problem. Alittle noisy because of the live singing over loudspeakers nearby. The rooms area little small but the balconey is a lovely place to sit in. Some morningsyou get a performance on the chinese equivalent of the samisen ( traditional Japanese musical instrument.

Value for money
The hotel located in the best place in Lijiang in the middle of the old city which is the center. The staff was very kind and helpful with fluent English (is not very common in this area). The only problem is there was no air condition in the room and we open the windows to have some air but the room was full of mosquitos (i killed about 10 in the middle of the night) so we couldnt sleep at all!
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

This worked like a dream. I had level 7 auburn hair, almost to my waist, that I had been coloring with demi permanent colors over my natural blah blonde. I mixed up a batch of this stuff with 3 activator packets & 20 volume developer and left it on for about 30 minutes under a plastic shower cap. Then I mixed up another batch and added it to my roots for another 30 minutes under the shower cap. Presto chango my hair was the color of a banana. It worked perfectly. My hair did feel dry, but not overly damaged. I definitely recommend getting enough supplies for two batches if your hair is past your shoulder blades. I only got my second batch in case I needed to bleach twice, but I ended up using it. I also added 2 tablespoons of olive oil to it and still used every last drop. Luckily it bleaches so well I only needed to do it once.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › ultra light 30 degree, high loft down bag – what are some good options?
Apr 24, 2012 at 3:33 pm #1289116
I have currently a nice down bag that is just too warm for me. Plus it's a little on the heavy side for spring/summer/fall backpacking.
The Marmot Plasma seems to check all the boxes that I have, but it also seems to go a little above and beyond. The main problem though is the price. I just don't see myself dropping that kind of cash on a new bag.
I've looked at quilts, but I just don't think they work for me and my sleeping habits.
So, are there any other ~30 degree down bags right around a pound but for a lower price?
Also, when using with a tarptent, how good are today's down bags at resisting moisture? Is a lightweight bivy something I should look into?Apr 24, 2012 at 3:56 pm #1870738

If you can deal with the center zip, the Stoic Somnus 30 might fit the bill.
Backcountry.com has it on sale right now for 209.
They list the weight at 1 lb 4oz, but they're off by about 2.5 oz. my kitchen scale says 22.7oz, so I think they meant 1.4lbs.Apr 24, 2012 at 4:01 pm #1870740

I always suggest a western mountaineering summerlite, but I'm guessing a new one is out of your price range even though I don't know the plasma's cost offhand. see if you can score one off gear swap if you are ok with a used bagApr 24, 2012 at 4:01 pm #1870742

I toss and turn at night and sleep on my side. I'm also a hair claustrophobic. The Montbell ss has been a godsend for me.
Here are a couple options:
(1 day left on ebay auction) current bid at 170 ish. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mont-Bell-U-L-Super-Spiral-Down-Hugger-3-/221005077918?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3374eddd9e#ht_977wt_1289
Backcountry has it for 339.00 and I believe they have a 15% off code published on their site that will work for the bag (but not 100% sure on the discount)
If you can justify a hair more weight and don't mind a 15 degree, the ul ss #1 is what I have and love it! one on gear trade for cheap.
I've tried a different ul bag and felt much too cramped.Apr 24, 2012 at 4:04 pm #1870745

You might try this:
And there's that Golite sale.
For high-end bags, WM's Megalite has a MSRP a little lower than the REI price I see on the Plasma. More down fill (by weight) too. I have the 20* WM Ultralite, and the quality can't be beat.
Personally, I liked quilts when I tried one, and I'm a side-sleeper who tosses and turns some.
Modern sleeping bags and quilt should have good DWR–no reason for WP bivy in a tarp or tent with adequate coverage.
Edit: Nathan Watts prob. right, and the Summerlite is a better choice weight and cost-wise than the Megalite. Was typing as he posted.Apr 24, 2012 at 4:05 pm #1870747

RAB Neutrino 200. This is a 35 degree bag and 21oz. The standard bag is cut long to fit up to 6' 4". It works well for me at 6' 2".
Look for a deal at Campsaver.Apr 24, 2012 at 4:07 pm #1870748

@cohikerLocale: San Isabel NF
Augh. Why can't I ever finish a thought?…
I've tested 4 different bags in the last 7 months,sleeping in the backyard. The ones that boast a DWR finish seem, at least so far, to deliver. Most recently, I slept in the Somnus 30, which has a Pertex Quantum shell, when I woke up in the morning there were little ice-balls all over my bag. Apparently I bumped the center pole of my tent and rained condensation down during the night. It beaded up and stayed there long enough to freeze. It definitely didn't soak into the shell.
FWIW: I'm not a particularly warm sleeper, and the Somnus 30 was cool comfortable in just polypro baselayers, wool socks, and microfleece beanie at 30*, or maybe 29. I had frozen condensation drips on my bag, ice in my Nalgene, and weatherunderground.com temp history to check.Apr 24, 2012 at 4:08 pm #1870750

+1 for Western Mountaineering. I don't know the cost of the Plasma or a WM MegaLite, but WM makes a very nice, high loft bag. The MegaLite is a 30 F bag and weighs 1.5 lbs [reg]. Worth a look and you may be able to score a used one. The WM HiLite or Caribou would also be good choices – both extremely light bags weighing jut north of 1 lb. Both are 35 F bags however.Apr 24, 2012 at 4:14 pm #1870751
Marmot is ~430..
The Somnus 30 at 209 sounds like the right price and I really do like the design of it.Apr 24, 2012 at 4:16 pm #1870754

I use a MontBell UL Spiral Down Hugger #3 and love it.
It weighs less than the UL "Super" Spiral Down Hugger #3, while giving up a little bit of stretchiness. But it is still stretchy enough that I can change socks inside with the zipper fully zipped.Apr 24, 2012 at 5:19 pm #1870775

I've been very happy with my Marmot Plasma 30. It's been on sale a couple of times at least – cuz I bought it on sale!
I tried to sell it awhile back to get a ZPacks bag – which hasn't arrived yet – but found the money elsewhere and took it off the market.
If you're not in a hurry to get a new bag, keep an eye out for sales on the Marmot Plasma – they do happen!
Good luck!Apr 24, 2012 at 5:34 pm #1870782

The WM Caribou is also a bit of a wider bag, which is nice if you can't handle a narrow mummy. I've seen them pop up around $259 lately. I didn't buy from them, but someone else said they worked out well. Check here http://www.ultraliteoutfitters.ecrater.com/Apr 24, 2012 at 5:41 pm #1870785
I misspoke , my current bag is a mountain hardwear phantom 15. 800 fill down. A little over 2 pounds. It's way too warm for me for most of.my outings.
I think a 30° bag will be a better fit since i don't mind sleeping in base layers.
The big question is do i hold onto it or sell to fund other purchases.
Is 15 to 30 a big difference? I do tend to sleep cold, but with the 15°, i end up sleeping in boxerrs and a t-shirt, while constantly opening and closing the zipper. It's a bit aggravating.Apr 24, 2012 at 6:01 pm #1870795

@ejhayesLocale: Northwest
Most definitely. You are looking at around 2" of loft between a 15' and 30' bag. My guess is if you wear boxers and t-shirt in the 15' bag, you'll need thermals in the 30' bag in the same weather.Apr 24, 2012 at 6:46 pm #1870812

Go crawl in a few bags at REI or somewhere else. The cut is different for different manufactures and you may find the uber-light flavor doesn't fit your body type. High quality goose down is the same weight no matter which manufacture and they are all using essentially the same materials. The small differences in weight are almost always due to size/dimensions of the actual bag or features (half/3/4 zippers vs full lenght)
I use a Marmot Arroyo which is cut generously (getting old and fat) and I'd bake in anything warmer. It is 27oz and around $200. Quality bag for a reasonable price but if you are a slimer build you may want to try crawling in some other fart sacks to see what works for you.Apr 24, 2012 at 8:10 pm #1870835

Check out the SD nitro 30. Great bag, was highly reviewed here a few years back. I've used mine down to 20 degrees with just a baselayer and was still toasty, a very conservatively rated bag.
Mine is a long, and weighs 29oz, so I think the Regular length would weigh something like ~27oz. You can usually find them for about $200.Apr 24, 2012 at 8:24 pm #1870841

Steep and Cheap has been having some killer deals on those Stoic bags. It was all I could do not to buy one, and I've already got a ton of bags.Apr 24, 2012 at 8:24 pm #1870843
I find it can be tough to know what works because you need to use it first to see. Light down bags tend to be a bit on the expensive side, so my ability to try them all out on the trail has been limited.
I'm nervous to let go of the 15 degree bag, but at the same time, it's never been comfortable for me since I don't backpack much if ever in the winter.Apr 24, 2012 at 11:35 pm #1870901

I currently own 3 WM sleeping bags and really like them all. I went looking for a 30 degree, ultralight bag several years ago and ended up choosing the WM Caribou as it was the lightest bag I could find that would work for my 3 season trips and accommodate my 6'5" frame and wider shoulders. I was hoping to get the HighLite, however, when I went to the store to climb in it, I found the 59" shoulder girth way too light.
Caribou's 35 degree rating has ended up being a bit too cool for me when I'm at altitude and the temps are near freezing, however, I am a cold sleeper. My suggestion is to climb into as many bags as you can and buy as good of a bag as you can afford as it will last you a long time.Apr 25, 2012 at 5:21 am #1870923

for a good deal on true 30 degree bags, go to Prolitegear.com
Go down to the clearance section, click on down bags 25-40F
They have Feathered Friends bags on clearance. $264 for Merlin if your slim, $279 for Osprey.
These are continuous baffle bags, the merlin has 11.5 oz down in a 58" girth bag , the Osprey has ~13oz in a 60" .
THese bags are conservatively rated. I think they probably approach 25F.

Combine the struggles at the plate and on the mound with two errors and three wild pitches and you have a forgettable day on the diamond for the Tigers. The only bright spot was the hitting of first baseman Garrett Cooper as he finished with three of Auburn's seven hits for the game.
Watching as his team fell apart in the middle third of the game, allowing all nine runs in just three innings, Coach John Pawlowski said missed opportunities early and some bad pitches really hurt his club in the loss.
"I thought Dillon Ortman was throwing the ball very well and I thought there were two situations that really dictated that game," Pawlowski said. "We had to execute a couple of pitches in really big situations when we came in out of the bullpen and we didn't do that. Offensively we had some opportunities to get guys in and score runs and we didn't do that. I was very disappointed in our overall performance. There is a lot of work left to be done.
"Those guys at the top of the order, I think we had six strikeouts at the top of the order," he adds. "I talked to them and told them that we've got to get very competitive. Those guys understand they know that we were not very good today in many, many phases. I'm disappointed obviously so tomorrow we've got some work to do."
Auburn had its chances to break the game open early, but failed to deliver. That would be the theme of the entire game.
In the second inning, Cullen Wacker walked with one out and Cooper followed with a double to put runners on second and third with nobody out. Catcher Blake Austin worked a walk to load the bases, but freshman Sam Gillikin struck out and fellow freshman Jordan Ebert followed with a groundout to end the threat.
The Tigers once again threatened in the fourth as a two-out single by Cooper and an Austin single put a pair of runners on for Gillikin. This time he battled to work a walk and again load the bases for the Tigers, but an Ebert ground ball once again killed the potential rally to keep the game scoreless.
In the fifth Kennesaw State finally broke through to chase Ortman from the game. After not allowing a hit through the first three innings, the junior allowed consecutive singles to Chris McGowan and Anthony Duran to put runners on the corners with one out. Alex Liquori followed with a long single off the wall in left field to score one and put runners on first and second.
Ortman was saved from allowing another run as Ryan Tella cut down Duran at the plate for the second out of the inning following the fourth consecutive hit off the junior. With runners on the corners and two outs Chase Williamson came on to pitch for the Tigers and immediately uncorked a wild pitch to make it 2-0 Kennesaw State.
Things went from bad to worse in the sixth for the Tigers as Williamson hit Peyton Hart with one out to start a big inning for the Owls. Following a fielder's choice that cut down Hart at second, Andy Almonte reached on an infield single to Dan Glevenyak at short to bring McGowan to the plate. Hitting a ground ball just left of the second base bag, he looked like he would end the inning, but Glevenyak dropped the exchange to load the bases with two outs.
Coming on in relief, Jay Wade quickly got ahead 0-2 before grooving a pitch to Duran that he deposited into center field for a single to score two runs. That made it 4-0 Kennesaw State, but they weren't done yet as Kal Simmons doubled to left field to clear the bases for the touchdown lead.
Auburn finally got on the board in the bottom of the sixth as Damek Tomscha walked and moved to second on a one-out single by Cooper, his third hit of the game. Austin was hit by a pitch to load the bases for pinch hitter Patrick Savage. A wild pitch forced home Tomscha before Savage lifted a fly ball to right field to score Cooper to make it 7-2.
Freshman Trey Wingenter came on in relief in the seventh, but didn't fare much better as a Cooper error led to a pair of unearned runs to push the Kennesaw State lead back to seven. The Owls finished things off by allowing just one Auburn hit in the final three innings to secure the win.
Cooper was the only player with more than one hit for the Tigers as Auburn struggled offensively, striking out nine times in the game. On the mound Williamson allowed three unearned runs on one hit in one inning while Wade gave up a pair of earned runs on three hits in just one/third of an inning. Wingenter allowed a pair of unearned runs in his one inning of work while Matt Schultz and Terrance Dedrick each pitched a scoreless inning of relief.
Auburn will get back on the field Friday at 3 p.m. as the Tigers face Eastern Illinois in the first of three games this weekend at Plainsman Park. Game times are scheduled for 3 p.m. on Saturday and 1 p.m. on Sunday.

ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a gene responsible for the onset of aging, including age-related disorders such as infertility, reproductive problems and cataracts. This research, conducted in genetically modified mice, is promising in helping physicians understand and treat the same disorders in humans. The findings appear in the July issue of the journal Nature Genetics. [Baker, D.J. et al. (2004). Nat. Genet. 36, 744-749. (http://www.nature.com/ng/)].
The discoveries came as the result of general investigations into possible genetic causes of cancer. In this case, it was discovered that this particular gene, called BubR1, governs production of a protein that modulates physical aging. The mice studied lacked normal levels of that protein and began to age prematurely.
"Darren Baker in our laboratory found that mutant mice with low amounts of BubR1 protein live five times shorter than normal mice. They also develop a variety of age-related disorders at a very young age," says lead investigator Jan van Deursen, Ph.D., of the Mayo Clinic Departments of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Dr. van Deursen says, "This prompted us to investigate whether BubR1 protein levels go down as normal mice age naturally -- which is indeed what we found. Based on these findings, we believe it is the decline of this protein with time that may trigger some of the physiological effects of aging."
Another Mayo investigator, Karthik Jeganathan, discovered that mice with low amounts of BubR1 protein are infertile and unable to distribute chromosomes properly when their germ cells divide. Abnormal numbers of chromosomes in germ cells are a hallmark of reproductive aging in humans, and the primary cause of increased still births and birth defects, such as Down syndrome, in women over 35 years of age. Says Dr. van Deursen, "Given the age-dependent decline in ovarian BubR1 in mice, it seems reasonable to assume that this protein may contribute to age-related infertility and certain birth defects in humans."
In collaboration with Mayo ophthalmologist J. Douglas Cameron, M.D., the researchers discovered that mice with low amounts of BubR1 also develop cataracts that are very similar to age-related cataracts in humans. About 20 to 25 percent of individuals at age 65 and older have cataracts of this type, and 1 million Americans undergo surgery to repair this aging-related disorder each year.
In addition to Dr. van Deursen, other Mayo Clinic scientists involved in the investigation were: Darren J. Baker; Karthik B. Jeganathan; J. Douglas Cameron, M.D.; Michael A. Thompson; Subhash Juneja; Alena Kopecka; Rajiv Kumar, M.D.; Robert B. Jenkins, M.D., Ph.D.; Piet C. de Groen, M.D.; and Patrick Roche, Ph.D. The research was supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.

FED Stuff - September Edition
FED Stuff is a collection of the little CSS and Front-End Developer tricks that I've learned each month. There is a lot to learn. Some may be new to you. Some may be what you assumed is common knowledge. But we can't know for sure unless we share. This is my attempt to share them. Little tricks add up to big things.
Get a little fine tuning on fonts in webkit browsers. Using 'antialiased' seems to clean up fonts that are looking a little heavy. I used this on the GS site when the Museo font was looking thicker than it did in Photoshop.
-webkit-font-smoothing: none;
-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
MORE INFO: http://www.usabilitypost.com/2010/08/26/font-smoothing/
:target pseudo class
You can style in-page anchor targets depending on the whether the target was used in the URL or not. For example:
#supercool {
font-size: 1em;
#supercool:target {
font-size: 1.5em;

This is sweet!

So, if you go to the URL of
http://super.com/index.html, you'll see the div with a regular font size. If you go to
http://super.com/index.html#supercool, it'll have a larger font size. Or you could use some kind of CSS animation to bring attention to the section you just anchor linked too. Kinda sexy in my opinion.
Changing the "Tap" Color on Mobile WebKit
Allows you to change color of the tap highlight that occurs in mobile WebKit browsers. The default is an opaque black.
html {
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(201, 224, 253, 0.8);
MORE INFO: http://davidwalsh.name/mobile-highlight-color
Border-radius and IE9
The CSS3 property
border-radius is fully supported in IE9. You can even use it without a vendor prefix. However, you need to specify the radius of all four corners of the box even if all those values are the same. While the spec allows you to use something like
border-radius: 8px and have all four corners be the same, IE9 requires you to list those values separately. So you need to use
border-radius: 8px 8px 8px 8px to get it working.
Thanks a lot IE9.

In a recent post we took a look at Dave Ramsey's view of credit cards as I debunked his "debt snowball" strategy as well as his quite laughable view that "Responsible use of a credit card does not exist… There is no positive side to credit card use." (Yes, Dave Ramsey actually said that and stands by that statement believe it or not).
Leaving those two issues aside for this post there is one other thing about Dave Ramsey's advice that "sticks in my craw" maybe even more than his ridiculous view of credit cards and that is his advice when it comes to debt negotiation and debt settlement (side note: I have no idea what "craw" really means as I have never used that expression before but it just sounds funny so why not – for all of you know-it-all's out there please do not attempt to describe for everyone what exactly you think a "craw" is as I would rather not know – definitely a Google search that probably falls in the "don't even go there" category).
All talk of "craws" aside my major issue with Dave Ramsey is that his advice is marketed as being Christian financial advice and yet in the area of debt negotiation and debt settlement Dave Ramsey gets this one so wrong according to Biblical principles that it should bring about some cause for concern.
Dave Ramsey: "Reduce debt by directly negotiating with your lenders."
If you have ever listened to Ramsey's TV show on the FOX Business Channel or his call in radio program then you have no doubt heard him counsel many many people to avoid debt consolidation companies, debt negotiation companies, debt settlement companies, etc. (which for the most part is actually really smart advice as the legitimate companies that are out there are few and far between as we illustrate in our feature piece on debt counseling).
This is great advice because there are many scam artist debt negotiation companies out there BUT Dave Ramsey's solution is just to go directly to your credit card companies and other lenders and get them to reduce the amount of money that you owe.
HOWEVER, Christians can respectfully disagree about many different areas of finances that the Bible addresses in more of a principle form rather than a direct and specific command BUT one area that is crystal clear in the Bible is that if you owe someone money then you should pay it all back.
The wicked borrows, and pays not again: but the righteous shows mercy, and gives. – Psalm 37:21 (NKJV)
Why Does Dave Ramsey Advocate an Un-Biblical Approach to Debt?
If the Bible states that we should pay back all of the money that we owe and not try to weasel out of debts by negotiating or settling with a lender to repay less than what we originally promised to pay then why does Dave Ramsey in no uncertain terms advocate this approach?
The 7 Year Israelite Debt Release
No doubt some Dave Ramsey fans will point to the passage of scripture in Deuteronomy that mentions a release of debt every 7 years for the Israelites:
At the end of every seven years you shall make a release. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lends ought to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbor, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release. – Deuteronomy 15:1,2 (NKJV)
While the above verse does mention the release of debts it is important to note that all of the Bible applies to everyone but not all of the Bible is specifically directed towards everyone (i.e. certain Old Testament passages are directed specifically towards procedural regulations for the nation of Israel and we can all gain practical application today but that does not mean of course that we should trim our beards a certain way or sacrifice goats in a certain manner, etc.).
Additionally, the above verse is directed towards lenders and not towards borrowers. Nowhere in the above verse does the Bible promote backing out of debt that one owes but rather the Bible promotes the principle of mercy and leniency on the part of the lender (i.e. the lender initiates a forgiveness of a debt rather than a borrower attempting to hardball a lender into reducing the debt that is owed by threat of non payment).
Although I love about 90% of what Dave Ramsey says on his show this debt settlement/debt negotiation issue is a big issue that I have with Ramsey as he markets his financial advice as being Christian personal finance advice that is based on Biblical principles.
Ouch the Cognitive Dissonance Has Gotta Hurt!
To go so very wrong in this area is even more unsettling because of the truck load of cognitive dissonance that he brings to the table when Ramsey on one hand preaches the importance of personal responsibility and on the other hand preaches that "it's the credit cards and evil credit card company's fault for your debt" as if an inanimate object like a piece of plastic forces people to spend more than they should (this is akin to an obese person blaming their lack of self control at the dinner table on their fork and setting out to "cut up all forks" and say mean things about fork making companies instead of getting to the root of the problem which is of course discipline, self control, wise nutritional choices, etc.)
What do YOU Think?
What do you think about Dave Ramsey's advice to reduce debt by directly negotiating with credit card companies?
Do you think that Ramsey's do it yourself debt negotiation advice is in line with Biblical teaching? If so, in what ways? If no, should Ramsey retract certain statements or change the marketing of his financial planning programs?
(NOTE: If you would like to address some of the Dave Ramsey's statements about credit cards rather than debt negotiation/debt settlement then head on over to the Dave Ramsey and credit cards post to leave a comment there as well)

If I wanted to process code or package files as text, I would do it in a text editor or scripting language. I think quotes are easier than you think. Compound double quotes don't do any harm beyond adding some visual complexity to what you read. If this is not true for you, there's a bug somewhere. The limitations of -file- match my understanding. Similar issues arise in other contexts. Nick Winter has recently tackled the issue of stripping commands out of log files to produce the equivalent .do files and he used -file- to read in logs as if they were binary files, byte by byte. Kit Baum and I wrote a wrapper -log2html- to facilitate translation of SMCL files to HTML, using -file- to read in logs line by line, but our program does have the undocumented limitation that it won't treat uses of local and global macros correctly. As I understand it, the fact that Stata necessarily _interprets_ any command line (interactive or program) before it attempts to _execute_ it, including macro substitution and backslash substitution, is so fundamental that it would take much more than adding some special options to allow this. That's a cue for Stata developers to say that this is easy and possible and on the to-do list.

Earlier this year Goodyear introduced commercial tire technology, called DuraSeal, that repairs tire punctures. And it works, said Ross Petrini, Toronto's fleet maintenance operations manager.
Toronto ran a trial on the steering tires on five waste haulers. "The test tires were provided to us at no extra cost," said Petrini. "During the first month of the trial we did not have a flat on the test tires. DuraSeal has saved us flat repair cost and downtime." Petrini said the technology saves the city $80 (Canadian) per service call—plus the downtime of the truck.
The technology uses a gel-like, solvent-free compound build into the inner liner of the tire. Goodyear said DuraSeal is designed to consistently and instantly seal punctures up to ¼ inch in the tread area. "The tire casing maintains its sealing capability even after it is retread," said Steve McClellan, vice president of commercial tire systems for Goodyear. "No other tire manufacturer offers tires with a built-in sealant."
Petrini said DuraSeal is better than aftermarket sealing systems because they need to be re-installed when changing or rotating tires, "And the aftermarket systems are very messy," said Petrini.
DuraSeal initially will be available in Unisteel G287 MSA and G288 MSA mixed-service tires, where punctures are a daily hazard. The company expects the technology to be useful in severe-service applications.

Getting to Green
An administrator pushes, on a shoestring budget, to move his university and the world toward a more sustainable equilibrium.
How we'll know when we're serious
As a campus sustainability wonk, let me say that the vast majority of the campus sustainability movement isn't serious. Which is not to say that most campus sustainability coordinators (or directors, or whatever) aren't serious about their jobs, or dedicated to the abstract idea of sustainability. But that idea is often stated -- and so, understood -- only in vague terms.
As a campus sustainability wonk, let me say that the vast majority of the campus sustainability movement isn't serious. Which is not to say that most campus sustainability coordinators (or directors, or whatever) aren't serious about their jobs, or dedicated to the abstract idea of sustainability. But that idea is often stated -- and so, understood -- only in vague terms. And the cultural environment, the system in which the campus sustainability movement operates, isn't conducive to addressing even that vague definition literally.
This is perhaps, I think, the biggest reason that the sustainability movement (like "the left" more generally) hasn't put forth a compelling, attractive, internally consistent world view. We haven't been able to express such a view because our dirty little secret is that we don't really have one. The slogan a couple of years back was that "a different world is possible." Talk about non-compelling, not inherently attractive, and not demonstrably internally consistent! We've got (got!) to be able to do better than that. But, so far, we really haven't.
Take the definition of sustainability most commonly used on campuses: meeting the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The negotiating history of that phrasing aside (it was a political compromise, a kicking of the can down the road), it's a goal which gets lip service only. If those words have any meaning at all, it's that what we do in the present cannot reduce the options available to future generations. After all, if the options available to any future generation are reduced, their ability to meet their needs is compromised. Maybe not eliminated, maybe not destroyed, but surely compromised. The definition doesn't say "eliminated." It doesn't even have soft wording like "seriously compromised". It says "compromised", pure and simple. And every time we extract a barrel of oil or any other mineral resource from the ground, every time we pollute water or air in ways that aren't readily reversed, every time we facilitate the evolution of drug-resistant bacteria or spray poisons on another acre of cropland, we're compromising the resources future generations will have available. Hence, we're compromising their ability to meet their eventual needs.
There's a much harder-nosed definition of sustainability available to us, but it gets scant attention on most campuses. Behavior can be described as sustainable if, to the best of anyone's knowledge, there's no reason it can't be continued forever. Not just for the foreseeable future. Not just for seven (or any other finite number of) generations. Forever. Which isn't to say, of course, that future advances in knowledge won't teach us that behaviors we thought to be sustainable actually aren't. But it is to say that we stop doing things we know can't be sustained. Behaviors which fly in the face of obvious physical limits.
I summarize sustainable behavior in three simple rules:
- Don't use up any resource faster than it can be regenerated. For instance, don't burn more wood annually than your woodlot produces in a typical year. Don't try to get 15 gallons per minute out of a 12 gpm water well. Don't try to graze more cattle than your pasture can support. Of course, if we're talking mineral resources and fossil fuels, this translates into don't use them at all, because (in human terms) they simply don't regenerate.
- Don't utilize any sink faster than it can regenerate. For instance, don't generate animal manure faster than you can utilize or sell it. Don't have ten people using a septic sanitary system that was sized for five. Don't create higher levels of agricultural runoff than the riparian system can handle. And don't generate nuclear waste when you have no real plan for handling it.
- Don't poison the environment. Not the streams, not the oceans, not the air, not the soil. Think about herbicides, pesticides, fungicides. Think about arsenic and other heavy metals resulting from mining operations. Think about the salinization of agricultural land that results from deep-well irrigation. (The Romans knew that if you sowed salt into the fields, crops would never grow again. Somehow, in the 2000 intervening years, we seem to have forgotten that fact.)
An internally-consistent vision of a sustainable society will have to honor these three constraints. Which, of course, will make any such society far different from the one we see every day on every campus I know. That level of difference, and the degree of challenge it implies, scares people. And it scares institutions even worse. So we satisfice with something less. We focus on energy efficiency, and thermostat set-points, and recycling, and fuel mileage.
Now, there's nothing wrong with improving energy efficiency and recycling rates. I don't mean at all that campus sustainability offices should abandon those efforts. But it's important that we see those efforts for what they are -- initial, tentative steps toward a long-term goal which really, at present, isn't clearly defined. And expecting initial, tentative steps to evolve into something more concrete and significant in the absence of a clear long-term goal is just unrealistic. We've got to come up with a clear vision of the world we're trying to achieve. It won't be fully detailed. It won't be entirely prescient. It will change over time. But we're reaching the point where we need a working vision right about now. We need to come up with a picture that's both realistic and non-scary. (That's one of the things in the Sustainia effort that cheers me, and that I cheer.)
I'll be tossing out some of my personal thoughts on what parts of an attractive sustainable society might look like over the next month or so. Some of my thinking is probably wrong, but getting even misguided ideas out in the open can further thinking. And discussion. And better ideas.
For the short term, let me just point to a slogan evident on a lot of campuses and which, to my mind, demonstrates the syndrome that results from vague, if well-intentioned, sustainability thinking.
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
In terms of environmental effect (and probably social effect as well), the sequence of the three terms is significant. Recycling is better than throwing stuff into the trash. But reuse is better than recycling. And reduction is better than reuse. Recycling, by definition, assumes that some sort of waste has already been generated. Reuse postpones (often for quite a long time) the generation of waste. And reduction eliminates the generation of that portion of waste entirely. So why are more campus sustainability efforts focused on recycling than on reduction and reuse? And why do we tend to measure recycling programs based on their diversion rates? Why don't we focus at least as much on the substitution (purchase) of already recycled products instead of newly manufactured goods? The first step toward demonstrable seriousness of intent might be increased emphasis on reduction, reuse and purchase of already-recycled goods beyond copier paper.
Most of what most of us in the campus sustainability movement have been doing over the past few years is well-intentioned, and generally helpful. We haven't really addressed what it means to be sustainable (and I'm not just talking about staff here, faculty are equally guilty), but we've done a bit to make behaviors on our campuses a tad less unsustainable.
The problem, of course, is that it's not enough and -- the way things are progressing -- it's not likely to evolve into anything that's enough. We need a clearer course. Seriously.

Drowning Convention
Sure, having the Democratic National Convention in Denver caused some excitement, but the real party happens this weekend at the only DNC for drinkers: the Drunkard National Convention, sponsored by Modern Drunkard magazine. The debauchery begins today at 3 Kings Tavern, 60 South Broadway, with a meet-and-greet at noon and the opening ceremonies, Drunkard Dating Game, short-film contest and live entertainment starting at 7 p.m.
The drinking continues through Sunday, with performances from Burlesque As It Was and Oracle Dance Troupe, plus music from Drag the River, the Hollyfelds, Velvet Elvis, King Rat, Denver Joe and the Lovesick Saddle Tramps and more. For the price of a full convention pass ($49), you can also attend a number of soused seminars, get a drunkard tattoo, participate in a drunkard poetry jam or booze tasting, or just sit back and test your tolerance with the 20 Pint Gauntlet. The challenge is open to everyone, and if you finish all twenty pints within eight hours, the beers are free. Forget about winning the presidential race; this is a goal we can all get behind.
Passes include a limited-edition convention T-shirt and poster essential for remembering exactly where you were on this sure-to-be-lost weekend. Day passes are available for $20; visit www.convention.drunkard.com for details.

The term statistical power as I used it refers to the power of a
statistical test, i.e. the probability of rejecting an hypothesis when
you should, not the ability of a model to predict. The former
typically decreases as you relax constraints. The latter increases as
you make your model more flexible, at least within sample (at some
point you start to pick up random stuff specific to the sample, which
means you loose the ability to generalize to the population). Butthat
is another point. The point I made referred to the power of
statistical tests performed within a model, which tends to decrease as
you make the model more flexible.
Hope this clarifies it,

John Holt, 1923 - 1985
By Pat Farenga
This originally appeared in the program to The Learning In Our Own Way Conference, August, 2005.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of John Holt's death. Since then, interest in his work and ideas has grown. In his first book, How Children Fail, he observed that his efforts as a teacher often hindered his students from learning. His next book, How Children Learn, observed how children, prior to attending school, "do not need to be made to learn, told what to learn, or shown how. If we give them access to enough of the world, including our own lives and work in that world, they will see clearly what things are truly important to us and to others, and they will make for themselves a better path into that world than we could make for them." Today, this is an unusual line of thinking. The "hovering parent" has reined in the free-range child. Yet, since more of his books are in print now than when he was alive, one can conclude that people continue to grasp Holt's essential philosophy and embrace it.
Nationally, homeschooling has grown. In 1985, perhaps 25,000 children were being homeschooled. Today, the Federal government states that at least 1.1 million are being homeschooled. "Unschooling," the word and concept Holt created in 1977, is likewise being adapted and expanded. When Holt coined the word "unschooling" he meant that parents should not duplicate school in their homes. The learning he describes didn't have to take place at home nor need to resemble conventional schooling to help children learn.
Most education reformers feel we need to create change from within the school system. Holt tried to do that throughout his life. Towards the end of his life he concluded that schools were not going to move significantly towards individualized learning. It would involve too much change. So, John Holt worked to make sure that parents knew that they have a constitutional right to choose homeschooling.
Unlike conservative homeschooling advocates, John Holt never argued to stop school funding. Indeed, he expected most families would continue to choose sending their children to school. Holt never suggested that everyone should homeschool. He urged parents who were happy with their schools to support them. Holt wanted homeschooling to be a joyful choice for families, rather than a dogmatic imposition. He favored school choice. He proposed in his work that schools and homeschoolers could peacefully co-exist.
Holt's radical zeal mellowed as he grew from sixties school reformer to homeschooling elder. In his final years John Holt sought to work with people who wanted to create something different for children. He did not spend time arguing about whose ideas about education were better. Two years before he died Holt wrote to a friend, "A life worth living and work worth doing - that is what I want for children (and all people), not just, or not even, something called "a better education."
Holt sensed that the educational changes he sought for schools would not happen: making schools smaller, more individualized learning places; reducing testing to as little as possible; fostering human relationships over competition for grades and school prestige. Rather than becoming frustrated with the lack of change, John Holt sought other ways to help people learn outside of schools. In a time of educational conformity that is supported by both liberals and conservatives, Holt's work calls on us to trust ourselves and our children to live and learn uniquely, in and out of school.

Thanks to all the more experienced members for your patience and great attitude towards helping us all out. This forum is a breath of fresh air from some I've been on, which are little more than an anonymous pissing match.
Keep up the great work. Pics to come.

I'm evaluating KAV 2014 and, besides the fact the AV keeps telling me that it will expire soon, I have an issue with virtual keyboard, which I don't need nor want. I found how to disable on KIS, but on KAV there is no help entry for this.
The main issue is that is in conflict with some custom shortcut i use (set via autohotkey) on caps lock, scroll lock and so on.
Any idea how i can get rid of the damn keyboard?
