By Hart Seely Staff writer It had rained recently, soaking the woods. Nobody thought it a cause for concern. They didn't imagine someone out there, a twisted mind that could view damp conditions as an opportu- nity. Now, they wonder. "These days, I don't even like to go out there said Milo B.

"I just don't know what I'll Somebody is systematically torching the century-old camps of the Adirondack League Club, an exclusive group of 400 mem- bers, which since 1890 has fished and hunted a vast swath of wilderness in Hamilton and Herkimer counties. Since spring 2000, six remote cabins virtual antiques them- selves, designed by celebrated Adirondack architects have burned to the ground, leaving state police and club officials to ask not only who is doing it, but why. The latest fire occurred some- time between Sept. 5 and 11 on the club's southern tract, which includes Honnedaga Lake. Un- like the previous fires, which weren't discovered until days had passed, investigators this time arrived to find the ashes still warm. And this time, for the first time, they found evidence of arson. Authorities say the fire-starter, by hitting the club at the start and end of the season, has raised the stakes. "The fires, with the exception of this last one, were done near the beginning of the camping said New York State Police Investigator Michael Dolly, of the Herkimer substa- tion.

One of them dropped the memory card of a digital camera stolen from a classroom after they had taken pictures with it, said Sgt. Tom Connellan, city police spokesman. Police believe the photos on the memory card show one of the suspects. About a.m. Oct. 3, a jani- tor discovered that the school had been broken into. The bur- glars came in through a window and stole from a safe in the main office, police said. That money included pu- pils and staff raised to help Hur- ricane Katrina victims. The bur- glars also vandalized the library, police said. While police investigated, an evidence technician found the card in a hallway. The photo- graphs have been shown around the school and the neighborhood, but so far, nobody has identified the person in the pictures, Con- nellan said. Police believe the person in the photo is not a Frazer pupil. The time stamp on the photos shows that the.y were taken about p.m. Oct. 2. That fits the window of time during which police believe the school was broken into, Connellan said. The stolen camera belongs to a Frazer teacher who confirmed Provided photo THIS IMAGE was on a memory card of a digital camera stolen from Frazer School in Syracuse, police said. Officers said the per- son shown is a suspect in vandalism at the school. the memory card was from the camera. The memory card also includes photos of the teacher's pupils taken before the theft.

The National Oceanic and At- mospheric Administration said forecasters expect warmer-than- normal temperatures across most of the United States. A huge swath of the central and western portion of the nation will likely experience a milder winter, with near normal temper- atures and precipitation in the Northeast. Even a return to "normal" in Central New York would be a big departure from the last three winters, which have been among the coldest and snowiest in Syra- cuse's history. Last winter's snow total of 137.6 inches was among Syra- cuse's 20 snowiest seaspns on record. That followed 181.3 FORECASTERS, PAGE A-16 ;

NPF All-Stars Defeat Bulldogs, 6-1
Oct. 13, 2011
ATHENS, Ga. – The National Pro Fastpitch brought its 2011 Back-To-School Tour to the University of Georgia on Thursday and the All-Stars defeated the Bulldogs, 6-1, at Jack Turner Softball Stadium.
In its second year, the NPF's Back-To-School Tour was making it second trip to the Classic City and in this year's meeting the All-Stars pulled out the victory with two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings to improve to 11-0 on the tour.
Last year, Georgia took Team NPF to extra innings before falling 9-8. In Thursday's meeting the Bulldogs tied the game 1-1 in the third and trailed by only one at 2-1 after five before the All-Stars got their two big innings to pull away and secure the victory.
The contest served as a homecoming for four former Bulldogs who play for Team NPF in their first professional season. Those players included 2011 NPF Rookie of the Year and All-NPF selection Alisa Goler, All-NPF selection Megan Wiggins, Brianna Hesson and Taylor Schlopy.
"It was a little bit weird being on the visitor's side and not being with our team," Schlopy said. "But it was nice being home and it was nice to win. It was good for Georgia to bring people out to support and build softball, and we all had a blast. It's just fun competition and it was very friendly."
Team NPF took a 1-0 lead in the first inning. U.S. Olympic Silver Medalist Kelly Kretschman started the game off with a single to left, stole second and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt from Schlopy. Two batters later, another member of the 2011 All-NPF Team Bianca Mejia drove in the run on a single to right.
In the third, the Bulldogs pulled even with the All-Stars at 1-1. With one out, junior Macie Couey doubled down the left field line. Later in the inning with two outs, freshman Gracie Goulder added a double of her own to left driving in Couey.
The contest remained tied until the fifth inning when two-time World Cup Champion Andrea Duran gave the All-Stars the lead back at 2-1 with a two-out, solo home run to straight-away center.
The All-Stars then got four more runs over the next to frames to extend the score to its final margin of 6-1. In the sixth, Roya St. Clair and Kretschman each picked up an RBI on a sacrifice fly and a bases-loaded walk, respectively. In the seventh, two-time Women's College World Series champion Caitlin Lowe provided an RBI single while St. Clair notched a second RBI on a single through the left side.
From the circle, Jamee Juarez earned the win for the All-Stars pitching five innings allowing just the one run on three hits. Taryne Mowatt closed out the game for Team NPF pitching two scoreless innings. For the Bulldogs, sophomore Morgan Montemayor provided five innings of work allowing two runs before giving way to senior Erin Arevalo to finish out the contest.
"Throughout the fall we have been working on meshing everyone together," Montemayor said. "Every game has its ups and downs, and we just need to keep working hard in practice going into individuals. Now is the time to work on the little things we can to get better."
Thursday's game against the NPF All-Stars concluded the fall practice schedule for the Bulldogs, who will now enter into individual workouts leading up to the 2012 preseason.

About This Winery
A love of the land. A joy of life.
+ More
AmByth Estate is a Demeter certified Biodynamic farm, meaning the farm functions as a whole. It is beautiful to see the vineyards integrated in a productive farming style. The owners have orchestrated a chain of natural farming methods to grow their grapes: animals such as cows and chickens fertilize the soil, perennial plants and trees help pollinate with the assistance of the vineyards' own bees, and water is consciously conserved to provide the ideal type of wine. Inputs such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides are prohibited.
AmByth Estate is Paso Robles' first and only Demeter certified Biodynamic vineyard and winery. The vineyards consist of over 20 acres planted to Rhone varietals, and an additional acre each of Sangiovese and Tempranillo. Interspersed throughout the vineyards are over 650 olive trees, all of Spanish varietals. The owners also produce Extra Virgin Olive Oil, which is for sale at the winery.
The vineyards are beautiful and it is educational to see a working farm in action. They are 100% dry-farmed, and cows and chickens are meandering through the grapevines, aiding the soil. The bees are hard at work in the gardens, which produce 85% of the farm's fruit and vegetable consumption. They have also installed solar power panels and are enjoying the benefits of saving energy in a very "green thumb" way. AmByth does mean "forever" in Welsh, and this winery would love to show you what forever looks like.

New Delhi, Oct. 10: An Indian-origin economist at Harvard University, who has been selected for the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship for "asking penetrating questions" in applied economics, now plans to explore what helps some children do better in life than their parents.
The US-based MacArthur Foundation last week named Raj Chetty, one of Harvard's youngest tenured professor of economics, among 23 intellectuals from diverse fields picked, as the Foundation put it, for their "creativity, originality and potential to make important contributions in the future".
Chetty, 33, was at lunch with his mother in a downtown Boston restaurant when he first learnt through a phone call from the Foundation that he would be among its Class of 2012 fellows and would receive $500,000 (Rs 2.65 crore) as no-strings-attached support over the next five years.
"It was a complete surprise because there's no application, so you don't even know you're being considered for the award," Chetty told The Telegraph in an interview today. The Foundation uses an anonymous nomination and selection process.
Chetty's research spans a range of issues in applied economics ' from personal savings to the impact of education in early life. In one research study, he has demonstrated, for instance, that the quality of kindergarten teachers that children get will determine their income when they become adults.
The kindergarten study results, educationists say, have sharp lessons for India.
"India has seriously neglected pre-primary education despite evidence that children need a strong foundation through kindergarten years," said Krishna Kumar, a former director of the National Council of Education Research and Training, New Delhi.
Chetty was born in New Delhi, but was raised in the US where his parents moved when he was nine. His father is an economist at Boston University, and his mother a physician studying lung injuries, according to a faculty profile produced by Harvard University.
He recalls thinking about several possible research career options ' biomedical sciences, mathematics, and "something to do with social problems" ' while in school. But in his first year at Harvard College, Chetty said, he thought he'd "try out an economics class" ' and has been glued to the subject ever since. "It's a field where we can't conduct experiments as easily as in science or medicine," Chetty said.
But a nation is the laboratory for economists, and experimental readings may be extracted from databases of schools, test scores, jobs and earnings ' as his kindergarten study has shown.
The study found that students assigned to talented teachers in elementary school are more likely to have higher incomes and better life outcomes in their adulthood. It also helped show that test scores of children in primary school may be used to assess the quality of teachers, Chetty said.
Chetty is now planning an even more ambitious study ' he hopes to use data from different US zipcodes to determine what proportion of children have experienced upward mobility and then identify common factors, if any, across those areas that could have contributed to that rise.
"Our goal is to identify the factors that are the ultimate root causes of higher upward income mobility (of children)," said Chetty. These could be factors such as high quality schools or universities, job opportunities, or other social and economic factors.
When he's not pursuing questions in applied economics or teaching students at Harvard, Chetty likes biking along the Charles river, playing tennis, or helping his wife, Sundari, in cooking "south Indian" dishes, okra curry or naan pizza.
Sundari is one reason he is back in Boston.
After completing a doctorate at Harvard University in 2003, Chetty spent some time as a faculty research fellow at the US National Bureau of Economic Research before moving to Stanford first and then the University of California, Berkeley.
He returned to Harvard in 2009, according to the Harvard University profile description, turning down professorship offers from Stanford, Chicago, and Yale. "What drew him back to Harvard, in part, was being able to solve what Chetty called the 'co-location' problem," the profile said. Sundari is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute.
The MacArthur Foundation said Chetty has asked "simple penetrating questions" and developed "rigorous theoretical and empirical tests" to come up with findings that are "illuminating key policy issues of our time".
The Foundation said Chetty was using large administrative databases drawn from tax and social security records in the US and Europe to explore a range of questions, including the extent to which tax deductions stimulate individual savings.

**Newest HCG Diet UPDATE!**
This just in…
Did you just order a round of Nu Image's HCG Troches, expecting to get 80 250 IU troches and instead only got 40 500 IU troches?
WTH?! Did they send you the wrong order? Naw, it just the latest, greatest formulation that makes your HCG Journey even easier.
Actually, not having to remember to take your troches twice a day is a huge relief for many. Now you just have to take it once a day, in the morning and don't have to worry about taking the second dose later in the day.
It's the pharmaceutical HCG Diet wallop you've been looking for and in a convenient form you've always wanted for your best HCG Diet ever.
Say goodbye to rounds on the HCG Diet sticking yourself with needles or complicated mixing instructions from grainy, ill-lit YouTube videos and "Say hello to my little troche."*
A what? Troche. An HCG Diet Troche. Pronounced like you'd say "croakie" only with a "t" instead of a "c." TrOh-key.
And it's the best way to do your HCG Diet invented yet. Because…
- While shots on the HCG Diet are the best way to make sure ALL the HCG hormone gets into your system, most folks just can't bring themselves to do it, and…
- Taking HCG sublingual drops will soon be extinct because it's inefficient as an HCG delivery mechanism for any HCG Diet — too much HCG leaks out from underneath the tongue and not enough gets INTO your system.
Got your attention now? Uh-huh. Same way my attention got grabbed when the CEO of Nu Image Medical first approached me about introducing them to the HCG market. Despite being a breakthrough in HCG Diet delivery technology, it was classic Abbott and Costello "Who's On First?" routine over the phone:
"Walter, I've got something new for you, HCG troches."
I could tell his patience was running out, "No, Walter…trow-KEES."
Geez, I thought… don't have to get all snippy about it. Hey, I never heard the word before. I thought either my hearing was going or he couldn't pronounce the word right. You know, the way some people say "pamp-let" instead of "pam-flet?"
Turns out it was neither. It was just my ancient Greek sucked. And despite loving Clash Of The Titans (2010, not 1981 version), I've never heard of the word.
The word troche is from the Greek word "trokhiskos" meaning " little wheel."
What is an HCG Diet Troche?
By definition, all a troche is, is a small medicated lozenge designed to dissolve in the mouth. A cough drop is a troche, for example.
For the HCG Diet, the little HCG troches are small lozenges that dissolve sublingually under the tongue. In this case, the most convenient way to take Rx HCG invented yet for the 21st century HCG Diet.
I think it sounds much better than "pellets," don't you?
Yeah, I know HCG "pellets" have been on the market for some time, but seriously, did anyone care?
Personally, I can't stand to call them "HCG Diet pellets." Ugh. Causes flashbacks to cleaning out rabbit cages when I was a teen. See, if you keep rabbits, you have to put them in elevated cages with chicken wire on bottom, so all the poop falls through.
Consequently, the ground beneath the cage becomes littered with yep, little brown rabbit… pellets. That's what rabbit crap is called, you know – "pellets." Not for nothing, because that's what they look like.
And it's hard to get jazzed about your HCG Diet journey by putting rabbit crap under your tongue, isn't it?
Even if it is to lose the fat for the rest of your life. I don't think even resetting the metabolism is worth putting little pellets under the tongue for 6 weeks on the HCG Diet.
And somehow the idea of putting HCG Diet rabbit crap in my mouth, under my tongue doesn't quite float my boat. How about you?
But troches… HCG Diet troches — sounds cool, sounds exciting, right? Sounds like something that works in a cool and interesting way but better than that, HCG troches work even better than the HCG drops for your HCG Diet journey.
Uh-huh. You heard me right. Troches work better than drops on the HCG diet. Why? For a number of reasons I'll get to in a moment, but this is the BIGGEST reason:
These pharmaceutical HCG Diet troches are solid, they stay under the tongue as they dissolve. And because the troche stays under your tongue, so does all the HCG. Can you imagine how much more you can lose on each round of the HCG Diet?
Unlike the sublingual drops, these HCG Diet troches make sure all the HCG is being absorbed by the super-absorbent tissue under your tongue – none of it leaks out into the rest of the mouth, like what often happens with the HCG sublingual drops on the HCG Diet.
And more HCG in your system = better results for each round of the HCG Diet. Simple, simple formula for success. And I like simple formulas because I'm a simple kinda guy.
And now you know why I'm so excited about them. But here are some more important things you should know about using the troches during your HCG Diet journey:
- 20,000 IU's pharmaceutical (Rx) HCG Diet Kit
- Most HCG Diet optimal oral delivery system yet!
- Delivers a targeted 500 IU's per day into your system
- No More Mixing (woo-hooo!)
- No Refrigeration
- 40 Troches, 500 IUs each
80 Troche's, 250 IU's each— comes in it's own convenient carrying case that's easy to slip into a purse or pocket as you're running out the door
- The only solution for travellers or people on the go
In fact, there's only one drawback to the HCG Diet troches — because they take a more sophisticated process to ensure that 98.3% potency and therefore are a few bucks more.
In fact, if you walked into a typical clinic that administers HCG Diet programs (yes, even Nu Image's) you'll have to fork over $649 or more for a 43 day supply.
And trust me, the convenience of the HCG troches alone is causing shortages and their HCG diet clients are happily paying over $6oo bucks each round.
But… and this is the good part:
Since I negotiated this EXCLUSIVE deal with Nu Image, (a big fancy way of saying I'm the only guy on the internet that can save you money big-time when ordering the high-quality, high-potency HCG) – you get major bucks off, but only if you order through my link (the big button below).
Yes, You will pay less than the rest of the world just because you're a fan, or reader, or a subscriber to Gutless In Seattle and I appreciate your trust.
See, I'm looking out for ya.
Now, I'm gonna shoot straight with you like I always do — these HCG Diet troches are in constant high demand and if they are be temporairly out, they get new ones in pretty quickly.
Like all announcements, I let the folks in my HCG Diet Success Coaching Program and on my list know first and then whatever's left over gets announced to the general public. I always make sure you get to see the cool stuff first.
So if you're ready to order your next round of HCG for a stupendous HCG Diet round, then you want to get in on this now.
* (100% HCG Diet Money Back Guarantee if not medically accepted by the physician)

Metal Gear Solid
by Raymond Benson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
My first review ever. I hope I'm doing this right.
Metal Gear Solid is a book based on the first game from the popular Metal Gear Solid game series. It takes place on Shadow Moses Island, north of Alaska, where the United States has a nuclear weapon disarming facility. A team of insurgents has taken over the facility with plans to launch a nuclear weapon using Metal Gear Rex, and Solid Snake must stop them.
When it comes to getting information about Solid Snake's past, this book is very informative. We learn about how Snake came into being and about his thoughts and how his mind works.
Besides that, though, this book is not written very well. One thing that particularly bothers me about some books is that some of the verbs to describe the actions and responses Snake and others have do not seem to fit with what was happening in the story. Also, the "love story" between Solid Snake and Meryl is just kind of thrown into the book near the end.
It reads a bit choppy as well, and things just seem to appear out of nowhere to assist Snake, but that's likely because its based on a video game.
All in all, I give it a 2 out of 5 stars. It was okay, but not the best.
Solid Snake and his brother Liquid Snake were 'made'. DNA from 'Big Boss', the greatest modern day warrior/soldier, was taken and manipulated to produce better soldier/warriors - thus the Snake Brothers. This action-packed novel reads like a combination of Rambo and the Power Rangers with the Snake's mentor, the Colonel, and villains named Revolver Ocelot and Decoy Octopus. However, there is a undercurrent of depth with Solid Snake's questioning himself about his destiny and the correctness of DNA manipulation.
Raymond Benson also wrote some James Bond books, so the action is detailed and the weapons are 007ish.
All is all, is was an entertaining and fast read. While I probably wouldn't read another book of this series, I would watch a movie.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345503287, Paperback)This explosive Metal Gear Solid novel ventures beyond the thrilling videogame and delves into the dark heart of Solid Snake's world!
Highly skilled former FOXHOUND agent Solid Snake is called out of retirement to do what he does best–neutralize a crisis of epic proportions. A deadly team of renegade FOXHOUND operatives has taken over the nuclear disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island in the icy Aleutians. If their demands aren't met, a powerful, top-secret weapon will be unleashed upon the world.
Solid Snake's mission is to breach the heavily fortified base to rescue hostages and to destroy the superweapon. His only obstacles are brainwashed commandos, DNA-enhanced troops, and six first-rate killers with extraordinary abilities. All alone in hostile territory, armed with nothing but his wits, Snake has only a snowball's chance in hell of taking out his target and keeping nuclear nightfall from descending on the earth.
But nothing is as it seems. Somebody is hiding something. Somebody has a hidden agenda. And somebody wants Snake to learn secrets about his dark past–secrets that would shake any man to his core.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Ray Jardine closes shop
Oct 18, 2005 at 6:54 pm #1216951
David C. MengesMember
Apparently, Ray & Jenny Jardine are closing their business. Today they stopped "sales and tech" support, and have an estimated two months of gear to sell. This message is on http://www.rayjardine.com; curiously, what appears to be their store front, http://www.ray-way.com, doesn't mention it.
I'm not posting this as a "Gear Deal" because there is no indication of that. I hope their reason for closing is one of retirement, not a business necessity.
I know some people disliked Ray for whatever reasons, but to me he was way ahead of his time. For instance, a lot of light backpacks I see bear a striking resemblance to his Breeze. In any event, I doubt anyone will ever come close to the variety and depth of his outdoor achievements.Oct 18, 2005 at 7:11 pm #1343124
My guess is it was more trouble than it was worth… and they probably didn't need the money. Just a guess… I don't know anything and I've never met either of them… although I would like to meet them sometime.Oct 18, 2005 at 9:23 pm #1343128

Always risky trying to read what's not there, but that's a pretty abrupt announcement… doesn't sound at all like they've had a good run and are simply closing for retirement…
But I'm probably wrong — hopefully anyway.Oct 18, 2005 at 11:39 pm #1343136
i think it was probably only aug. or early sept., Ray J was corresponding with me. told me BB is now out of print. he was asking me to note small passages on certain matters in BB that should possibly be changed or left out of a new book on the subject. i thought that there would be a new book which some would find less objectionable in parts. perhaps there still will be. i was surprised when he mentioned this. really liked BB. didn't mind the parts others found objectionable (even though i didn't agree on all these points). they added character to the book. i don't feel comfortable sharing anything else about his possible future plans. nothing was stated definitely anyways. just one possibility was mentioned. however, it was not stated in any of his emails that he would be closing up shop. if true, too bad. it's a sad day in mudville.Oct 18, 2005 at 11:50 pm #1343138
I sort of saw this coming. Ray is a fascinating guy with all sorts of great ideas (and some bad ones too), but there's definitely a dark side to him. Even without ever having met Ray, I can tell that he's more than half nuts. One year calling himself a born-again Christian, the next year denouncing all religion, finding conspiricies to steal his ideas under every rock, raving about how dehydration is the cause of all sorts of health problems, first pushing corn pasta a miracle food, then suddenly going off on a raw-food kick. Lurking behind all this craziness is a pathetic need to impress other people with his achievements, even to the point of exaggerating and denying that anyone else ever had lightwight ideas before Ray came along. I think his recent attempts to turn himself into some sort of guru with these "Connection Camps" probably caused a complete mental breakdown. Basically, I think his ego grew to the point where his head must have exploded. I suspect Jennie is desperately holding down the fort right this minute while Ray is going bonkers in the back room.
Ray pointed out in Beyond Backpacking how malnourishment can have insidious effects on people's attitudes while hiking long-distance trails. To which I might add, malnourishment can affect thinking even when NOT hiking. Maybe all that raw food and drinking too much water could be part of Ray's problem. Diet manias and nuttiness notoriously tend to go hand in hand.
Anyway, I find it fascinating that flakes are so attracted to the outdoors, especially extreme aspects of the outdoors, such as mountaineering or ultralight backpacking…
I hope none of the above comments will turn anyone away from Ray's ideas. As far as I'm concerned, Beyond Backpacking continues to be by far the most important guidebook for ultralight hiking ever written (even though I don't agree with all the ideas presented therein). If you haven't read it, by all means do so.Oct 19, 2005 at 9:12 am #1343162
Paul, what part of Beyond Backpacking were offensive? I just finished reading it last week… and I don't recall ever being offended. I may have grinned and rolled my eyes once or twice… but that's the extent of it. It's clear that Ray is speaking with his own voice and not trying to be non-biased… but I take everything for what it's worth… and Ray's book was worth a great deal to me. Anyway, I really would be curious to know specifically what parts of the book people were offended by.
And who cares if someone changes their diet or beliefs or whatever? It doesn't affect me in any way. People change. And who among us is perfect? As long as you're not hurting anyone or spreading hate, I say, live your life however you wish. Heck… try a new diet and a new religion every month if it makes you happy. It's unfortunate to see this thread turn into a Ray bashing thread.Oct 19, 2005 at 9:19 am #1343163

@kdesignLocale: Mythical State of Jefferson
I say we should make like the dolphins in Douglas Adams' classic for all time, "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy"—- say "So long and thanks for all the fish".
"So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you but oh dear?
We may not share your intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the people that
hike around you…" *
Thanks, Ray.

>>"grinned and rolled…eyes"
your words = better description than "offended". thanks. didn't know i had chosen to use that word, viz. "offended". did i really? hmm…then i'm not really sure what i was thinking. (BTW, "offended" has a semantic range associated with it; it has its earliest etymology from a greek word, which means a "stumbling block", whether a physical object tripped over, or an intellectual point "tripped" over – this is a little closer to my intent; sorry i wasn't clearer.) hope my post was clear enough that it was understood such was not my impression of his book. i thoroughly enjoyed BB. as i stated, even the parts that i didn't agree with i didn't mind – felt that they added character to the book (see my "Reader Review" of BB on this website – very positive). Mr. Jardine understood this when we wrote back and forth. i just remember some weeks back that there was a series of posts where others were not that enthusiastic about BB. as far as what parts – i think the forum main index, the reader reviews, or the forum search areas can pull up the historical Thread, Posts, and Reviews.
i had thought of replying much earlier to Anon myself, but, for my part I would not have done it as well as you did. Good words from you. Glad someone more capable than i did so.
again, sorry to have confused the issue with my poor choice of word. hmm…"offended" – did i really say that? i'll have to go back and read my first post in this Thread. thanks though for bringing it to light.
went back and read my first post. am i missing it? all i could see is that i said that some others found parts of BB "objectionable". did you read this, i.e. "offended", elsewhere in something i posted? my memory is not too good, so maybe i wrote that elsewhere? oh…well. thanks again for your fine post. take care.Oct 19, 2005 at 10:44 am #1343178
If this is true then Ray may have a serious vitamin deficiency.

J RMember
what parts of BB were "objectionable"?
I mean, I dont think theres ever been a book ever written that someone didnt read and say "what a load" and throw it away…
But Ive read on many forums that Jardine said things in the book that ENOUGH people found objectionable that its been a topic of note, but I dont recall anyone going into any sort of detail about WHAT it was they didnt like.Oct 19, 2005 at 2:10 pm #1343208
hear you loud and clear. this is exactly what i mentioned more than once to Mr. Jardine. objections were nearly always of a general nature – "quirky", for instance. it was difficult to find any comments that were specific. i do recall one specific comment someone made that they objected to – "a tarp is warmer than a tent". i think the kinds of things that he was interested in were passages that contained, for instance, technique gripes (like the tarp vs. tent comment), animistic-like beliefs ("connection" and firecraft – possibly), possibly specious health/medical info – one prev. Anon. poster in this Thread mentioned some he/she/it (sic) found "objectionable", certain minor errors in human physiology (there is at least one dealing with one minor aspect of the process of digestion i've noticed), etc. seemed like he might have been striving to make a great book into a greater book.
look, this comes from some direct statements in the emails and from some logically concluded inferences based upon the context. i don't like trying to explain what might have been in someone else's mind. i might think that i know, but can't be certain without asking. i have no plans to write back to Mr. Jardine and ask him.
i think we've pretty much covered it, so i hope that if there are any more posts wondering what "objectionable" meant, that the poster won't be offended if i do not reply. besides, i don't have anything different that i can tell you. had i known that this was the tact this was going to take, i would not have mentioned the possibility of a new book. that was really the point of my original post, letting others know that we still might get more from Mr. Jardine – which is a good thing, to my mind. the email exchange between Mr. Jardine and myself was only mentioned in anticipation of the questions: "So, Johnson, how do you know that Mr. Jardine might be planning an update to BB?", or "Where did you hear that Mr. Jardine might possibly be planning a new book?Oct 19, 2005 at 2:31 pm #1343211
J RMember
No offense ment. I was just curious because, like I said (and you confirmed) the problems people had with the book seem vague at best, and minor mix ups of facts and philosophy on peripherall (sp?) topics.Oct 19, 2005 at 2:57 pm #1343220
none taken. read nothing negative in your post about RayJ or me.
i just didn't want to offend anyone by not responding further. plus, i don't have anything else to say that would add value. i, personally, dislike talking about someone else (a third party) – unless it's 100% (or near 100%) praise for them. Also, i don't feel comfortable divulging anything that might have been shared in confidence.Oct 19, 2005 at 3:42 pm #1343225
There are two primary objections to Ray Jardine. First, the attitude which says that "I, Ray Jardine, invented all ideas pertaining lightweight hiking and everyone else stole those ideas from me." Now that is just not true. Some facts. Ray states in BB that he was involved with Outward Bound in the 60's/early 70's and he was surprised they were using plastic tarps. In other words, people were using lightweight tarps BEFORE Jardine's time, as if we didn't already know that. "The Wilderness Handbook" is book by Paul Petzoldt, the guy who started NOLS/Outward Bound, published in 1974, which describes a net tent just like the one Ray describes in BB. Petzoldt also describes how tarps are better than tents in most situations. Granted, Petzoldt's tarp didn't have beaks, but are beaks really that extraordinary an invention? As someone who has tried beaks, I can assure you they have weak points (flapping like crazy in the wind) as well as stregths. Colin Fletcher was also raving about the superiority of tarps long before Jardine published anything. Fletcher was also talking about ultralight hiking (20 pounds base weight back in the 70's–remember, that was before silnylon and titanium) which he called "new wave" hiking, way before Jardine was publishing anything. One big difference between Fletcher and Petzoldt versus Jardine is that there is a hell a lot less obnoxious egotism in the first two authors.
No one is denying that Jardine energized the whole lightweight movement (or should I say re-energized, given how the Fletcher example shows that lightweight is NOT a new idea), but he didn't invent everything, by any means. Anyway, the whole idea of everyone stealing Ray's ideas (go to Ray's website for these accusations), is basically absurd. If anyone is a thief, it's Ray, for "stealing" the Petzold net-tent idea without giving proper credit and for "stealing" the whole tarp idea. And everyone who reads BLT is a thief because we "steal" each other's ideas.
Second, Jardine can be a really nasty guy at times. Go look at his web site and how he trashes Golite. Not merely does he call them unscrupulous, but he also knocks the quality of the equipment and encourages his groupies to do likewise ("golite junk" is the phrase they like to use), which is simply libelous. The Jardine tarp I used a few years back (before getting tired of it due to the wind flapping problem) was a Golite product, and it was well-made, as was the version 2 of the Breeze pack (as I understand, the version 1 breeze had some weak seams, but Golite offered to repair/replace those defective packs) and the Gust pack, which is what I use now.
The unscrupulous accusation is harder to disprove, but what I understand is that Ray was offered the opportunity to be a partner in the Golite business when it first started, but he turned this down, due to his nutty notions about how the outdoor business is evil, in favor of royalties. Of course, camping gear is a competitive, low-margin business and it is no surprise that the royalties were not that high, but I see no evidence that Golite ever broke their agreement. At least not until Ray started trashing Golite on his website, at which point I can fully understand their refusing to pay any more royalties. Ray has also threatened lawsuits against anyone who makes fun of his corn pasta or other ideas on various web forums. (He'll probably threaten BLT with a lawsuit if he reads this current posting of mine.)
But like I said in my earlier posting, whatever Ray's faults, I am hardly going to deny his brilliance. Read Beyond Backpacking if you haven't already. I can also highly recommend the products at ray-way.com. I haven't bought them all, but the one's I did buy were well-thought-out and a very good value for the money.
(And too bad if anyone doesn't like me posting anonymously.)Oct 19, 2005 at 3:48 pm #1343226
Paul… sorry… I meant objectionable. I just didn't refer to your post when writing my reply. I had a feeling "offended" was not quite the right word… but I wrote the post in a rush on my lunch break.
FWIW… I can be critical myself. I'm sure we all can/ It's very easy and tempting to do. I just never feel comfortable being critical or hearing others be critical of a person "behind their back"… that's all.Oct 19, 2005 at 3:56 pm #1343228
Joe, Paul… my guess is that the main thing that rubbed people the wrong way was not so much specifics (although there may be a few of those) but rather simply the tone. One thing I have noticed about myself for instance is that when watching documentaries, which are meant to be non-biased by definition… I always find myself getting subtly annoyed when I can TELL that the filmmaker has a point of view… when they clearly have a bias… and this is true even if I fully AGREE with the point of view! I think this may be the case with Beyond Backpacking. Then again, I'm not sure I would want to change it. I think Beyond Backpacking SHOULD be biased. And the fact is, anything which represents a radical new way of thinking is bound to rub people the wrong way. That's what make it radical right? :-) With that in mind, maybe another reason Beyond Backpacking didn't bother me is because I have NEVER been a traditional backpacker. I started my backpacking life… from day one (2 years ago) as an ultralighter. I did a grand total of ONE traditional trip (40 pound load) and that was it. From that day on I was an ultralighter. So I don't have years and years of conventional wisdom affecting my way of thinking.Oct 19, 2005 at 4:00 pm #1343229
As far as I'm concerned, in this case, there is no problem being Anon – though i (we?) might prefer that you identified yourself. It's clear you're trying to be even handed and are not just out to trash someone. You have your reasons for wanting to remain Anon. I (we?) respect your right to do so. For my part, even if others might disagree with certain aspects of your post, i don't feel that you need to worry about remaining anonymous. You've presented yourself well and that deserves respect.Oct 19, 2005 at 4:02 pm #1343230
not need to say "sorry". i can relate. i write too fast (too often). sometimes, later on, i read what i wrote, i'm surprised, or occasionally shocked.
take care,

Anon: Thanks very much for your last post. It was very informative. I reacted as I did to your first post because it came off sounding more like name-calling than anything else. It's good to know some of the facts. And I had no idea about Paul Petzoldt's acheivements and ideas… never even heard of the guy. So thanks again.Oct 19, 2005 at 4:09 pm #1343232
really good point. perhaps you've hit the nail on the head. astute observation.
while i don't share certain animistic beliefs found in BB (RayJ had some then that were similar to some Native American beliefs), i understand them and how they fit into that belief system as a whole, and can appreciate them on that basis (i don't mind saying this, as i've already mentioned this to Mr. Jardine). for me, certain aspects of the book added to its "character".Oct 19, 2005 at 4:11 pm #1343233

@kdesignLocale: Mythical State of Jefferson
I agree with Mr./Ms./whatever Anon's general take on Ray J. ( was actually a pretty good assessment of the whole Jardine phenomena)— except for one bloody thing.
It's bloody bush league to talk about other people without identifying themselves. Especially when talking down people. Down right cowardly, as a matter of fact.
The whole BPL anonymous option has become disgustingly abused—it should be terminated with extreme prejudice. It never really got used as a means for industry insiders to give the scoop on equipment (mis)developments.
If people feel they can't reveal themselves— give the option for creating avatars.
If anyone (including anonymous) wants to discuss or take me on about this—-we can move to "chaff".Oct 19, 2005 at 7:05 pm #1343249

I think many anonymous posters are paid subscribers using the option soely to avoid having their full name (as verified by a credit card company) appearing directly to the left of the post. For these people, I would suggest making a free account like I have for use when posting on the forums. You can associate it with the handle you use on other backpacking forums so that your on-line personality is still easily identifiable.
If knowing a poster's full name as it appears on their credit card is a vital aspect of the BPL forums, I would much prefer if only registered BPL forum users could see it, and that it be placed on a separate "profile" page as is done by many other forums. Currently, a Google search on my full name returns all the BPL posts I made with my subscriber account.
Now try typing "Bill Fornshell" cancer into Google. A BPL post is the first hit. If that were my name I would be afraid of future employers using that as a reason not to hire me. (Disclaimer: yes this is illegal, but I don't think it would be worth fighting in court. Also, I mean no disrespect to Bill. I have learned a lot from your designs, but I just can't imagine myself giving that level of public disclosure.)

Self-described piano supervillain Chilly Gonzales has a long resume. Known for vanquishing Andrew W.K. in an epic piano battle, helping fellow Canadian chanteuse Leslie Feist with piano and production work on her albums, from Let It Die to Metals, and playing a record-setting 27-hour concert, while being generally sweaty and eccentric, there was no telling what weirdness Chilly would lay down in his "Piano Talk Show" at Brooklyn's Bell House on Friday night.
With the help of his four-piece Fuck Luck Orchestra, Chilly played lush solo concertos, spat through selections from his recent symphonic rap album The Unspeakable Chilly Gonzales, and tap-danced on his piano in a bathrobe, among other things.
Without further ado, here are the six best things Chilly Gonzales said on Friday night:
1. "To be in a major key is to adopt a right-wing viewpoint."
Knocking the bourgeois Hapsburg Dynasty who commissioned most of the famous major-key compositions young pianists are forced to learn, Chilly extolled the hidden power of minor keys in popular music. "It adds a little complaint," he said while playing "Heart And Soul," "Chariots of Fire" and "Happy Birthday" in exclusively minor chords, turning the latter into a grim reminder of the ceaseless march of decay. "Poland. 1940," he added to snickers.
2. "I believe we get the hip-hop we deserve. If you don't like the rap of today, you probably don't like today."
Chilly admitted he wanted to be a "man of his times" when starting out as a musician, and for any post-1990 artist to properly reflect his cultural surroundings he's gotta be able to drop some flow. Bashing superficial rap songs about amassing "cream" and "cheese," Chilly recited a snarky ode to his own self-designed marker of wealth, "Beans". "I'm not a has been, but I has beans/ and that means being beanless is a bad dream," he explained.
3. "You're doing great, David, but you made a mistake, is the point. Sorry to go all Tiger Mom on you."
Three times throughout the Talk Show, Chilly brought audience volunteers onstage for an on-the-spot piano lesson. The second lucky subject, a former guitar player named David, was charged with maintaining a two-note bassline that matched the volume and cadence of Chilly's "Bongo Monologue". When David neglected to drop the tone of his notes to match Chilly's whispering verse, the bathrobed Beethoven halted the Fuck Luck orchestra to lay some quick disciplinary words. The song resumed, and a blushing David killed it.
4. "I decided to become a hater, which, if you don't know, is a term that means you really love someone, love them so much that you can't stand not having attention from them so decide to do and say mean, passive-aggressive things."
Chilly told the harrowing tale of his love/hate relationship with Drake following the rapper's uncredited use of Chilly's "The Tourist", pretty much in its entirety, on the So Far Gone mixtape. After failed attempts to reach Drake, Chilly eventually wrote the above diss anthem, in which he apes the Canuck emcee's AutoTune-dampened drone. The track never got released, and Drake eventually invited Chilly to perform on "Marvin's Room", but that didn't stop Chilly from sharing some good-natured hating on Friday. "I doubt Drake spends his time searching Chilly Gonzales YouTube videos with 36 views," he said.
5. "Let's see if I can write a rap song in 6/8, wearing a bathrobe with a string quartet"
He could. He did.
6. "This is usually where I do some regional pandering. So, let's see if we can use this room to channel ODB, the greatest Brooklynite who ever lived."
During his encore—right after he played a concerto with his head ducked under the keyboard, and right before he mounted the keyboard to play a final song with his feet—Chilly gave ups to Brooklyn rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard in a participation-necessary sing-along that got the crowd mimicking Dirt McGirt's signature gravely growl. There were no ghostly visitations to conclude the Talk Show. Nobody seemed disappointed.

the PBS Newshour's website (PBS.org/newshour) on 12/31/2012 has a a story titled: "How the Health Reform Law Supports Gun Rights"
the gist of the story is that in the Affordable Care Act more generally called obamacare, there is a section titled "Protection of Second Amendment Gun Rights".
this section says the health law's wellness programs can't require participants to give information about guns in the house. it also prohibits the Department of Health and Human Services from collecting data on gun use and stops insurance companies from denying coverage or raising premiums on members because of gun use.
needless to say, many anti-gun health care organizations are protesting these provisions as preventing health care professionals from doing their jobs, as they consider firearms to be a menace to human health.
But others think firearms in your closet are none of a doctor's business.
this section was added to the bill at the request of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
the language does not prevent doctors from inquiring about guns in the household.

Thanks to everyone who came out and donated to Day 4 of "Penny Pickup" at Heartland Senior Services. We'll see you tomorrow at WCI Pools and Spas.
Here's the link to the Omaha World-Herald piece on our lack of life skills in 2013. Its a funny column, but I think tells a deeper truth about what we are teaching our kids in schools today, and what we need to teach them as parents.
Should a woman convicted of first-degree murder when she was 15 years old be parolled so she can go home to die of breast cancer? Yes. It is possible to have mercy an compassion for those amongst us who've done the worst. It's called "humanity."

A PUGNACIOUS 85 not out by all-rounder Jamar Griffith powered defending champions CGI Maple to a hard-fought victory by six wickets over Banks in their sixth round Sagicor General Twenty20 cricket match at The Brewery yesterday to keep their chances of a quarter-final berth alive. Left-hander Griffith came to the crease with the visitors' innings at the crossroads, having lost three wickets for only 14 runs inside the mandatory Power Play as they pursued a challenging 148. Initially batting cautiously while he and Renaldo Parris slowly rebuilt the innings, Griffith soon exploded to dominate partnerships of 82 in 10.2 overs with Renaldo Parris and 55 unbroken with Khalid Springer as Maple, who were 111 runs adrift of the target after 10 overs, won with two balls to spare. Griffith's destructive knock came off 53 balls with five fours and an equal number of sixes. AT CANE GARDEN: Justin Greaves was on the right end of a tense last-over thriller as he led Guardian General Barbados Youth to a stunning four-wicket victory over Yorkshire with an unbeaten half-century. Set 202 to win after Yorkshire posted a formidable 201 for four off 20 overs, Barbados Youth won with one ball to spare as Greaves scored all 18 runs needed off the final over from Jamel Noel. A couple of months ago, the Barbados Youth captain bowled the fateful final over over when New Zealand scored 17 to knock West Indies out of the Youth World Cup in Australia. Yesterday it was the turn of Greaves to traumatise his opponents. His undefeated 71 off 40 balls with eight fours and a six lifted Barbados Youth from the uncertainty of 80 for four in the eighth over. Aaron Jones struck a six and three fours before being run out for 35, having helped Greaves add 70 for the fifth wicket. Kemar Smith fell cheaply but Chaim Holder slammed a six and a four in an unbeaten 17 off just seven balls in an unbroken 52-run seventh-wicket union with Greaves. Earlier Yorkshire openers Miguel Austin (69 off 39 balls) and Dario Boyce (73 not out off 51 balls) shared a century opening stand to set the stage for Yorkshire's score. Austin, like Boyce a former student of the Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary, smashed seven sixes and four fours while Boyce counted ten fours in his innings. In all, yesterday's run feast produced a total of 403 runs, 246 in boundaries (39 fours and 15 sixes). (PHILIP HACKETT) AT DAYRELLS ROAD: A comprehensive eight-wicket win with 40 balls to spare by CounterPoint Wanderers over Nature Valley Lodge carried them to 20 points and almost assured them a place in the quarter-finals. Wanderers overhauled Lodge's total of 106 for five in the 14th over with Kraigg Brathwaite unbeaten on 32 with four fours and Renaldo Arthur on 18. Brathwaite and the in-form Justin Guillien posted 72 in 47 balls for the second wicket. Guillien, who was dropped on nought in the first over, made 43 from 32 deliveries, with seven fours and one six. It took his aggregate to a 231 runs. (ELVIS HOWARD) AT BANK HALL: ICBL Empire continued their resurgence when they easily defeated Ince Transport MTW by 92 runs. Empire raced to 183 for six off the allotted 20 overs, thanks partly to a belligerent knock of 63 off 37 deliveries by the heavy-set Alcindo Holder. Holder slammed nine threes and seven fours and was well assisted by opener Jason Hinds, who made 45. Off-spinner Kevin Gittens, who opened the bowling, was the most successful bowler for MTW with five for 30. In response, the MTW batsmen were limited to 91 for nine. Gittens, who also opened the batting, top-scored with 24 as medium pacer Andre Evelyn took three for nine. (LOUIS HOLDER) AT BAYFIELD: Foundation fast bowler Jofra Archer marked his debut for ESAF Pickwick with a four-wicket haul as the visitors handed Republic Bank St Catherine their third successive defeat. St Catherine, replying to the visitors' 153 for eight, were dismissed for 136 after being 15 for two in the second over, to lose by 17 runs. After claiming the first two wickets, Archer returned to take two more, ending with four for 15 while off-spinner Romelle Small finished with three for 18. Earlier, captain Shai Hope made 41 after veteran Michael Matthews, with 36, and Jamal Phillips gave Pickwick a flying start. Fast bowler Joel Leacock took a hat-trick in the last over, bowling Hope and Small and taking a return catch offered by Archer. (ANCILLE INNISS) AT WILDEY: Sagicor Life UWI continued their dominance of teams this year when they defeated LIME by seven runs to register their fifth consecutive victory. Batting first, UWI made a respectable 135 for nine runs with the Reifer cousins, Floyd and Raymon, making 27 and 24 respectively. LIME's attack was led by medium pacer Ryan Nurse (3-29). After losing both openers with 36 runs on the board, captain Ashley Nurse and Amory Holder made a gallant effort to get their team across the finish line with a 54-run stand. But Holder's knock of 17 off 35 deliveries put the home side under significant pressure. (LINDON YARDE) AT QUEEN'S PARK: Spurred by a late innings charge and a magnificent catch at long-off by Christopher Jordan to remove SuperCentre Spartan's captain Shamarh Brooks, YMPC prevailed over by 14 runs. YMPC compiled 133 for eight in their innings due to Jordan's cameo unbeaten 36 from 24 balls which contained two sixes and two fours after Omar Marshall threatened the middle order with three wickets. Dwayne Smith (33) and Steve Blackett (27) had given YMPC a good start before seamer Chioke Payne took three quick wickets. YMPC's superb fielding, which resulted in three run-outs, proved decisive as the Parkites were restricted to 119 for nine. (HAROLD EASTMOND) AT PARAGON: Renaldo Brathwaite scored his second half century in as many innings to lead the Barbados Defence Force Sports Programme (BDFSP) to their second consecutive victory. Brathwaite scored 69, laced with seven fours and three sixes off 44 balls as BDFSP scraped a one-wicket win over Seven Seas Police. Chasing a victory target of 153 after Larry Babb boosted Police's final total with 40 off 20 balls, Brathwaite was dismissed with the score on 118 for six. Antonio Greenidge struck 16 off the 19th over bowled by Dion Brome to leave the BDFSP needing seven runs from the final over, which they duly achieved through a mighty six by Steven Howell. Chad Linton bowled a wide to give victory to the BDFSP. (EVANS HINKSON)

About MeI have always been into fitness growing up. I recently graduated with a BA in Exercise Science and now in grad school for a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I love making people feel better with themselves by training them and I also do my part in not being a hypocrit. I'm a firm believer in "Practicing what you preach" so if I tell someone to do something, I better be able to do it myself. I'm strong willed and I will do whatever it takes to make it in this world! From this site, I want to just experience the world of modeling. A friend of mine told me about it, since I started reshaping my body, and I feel it will be a great opportunity for me. I want to stick with any kind of fitness modeling and eventually do sports wear modeling for addidas, nike, oasis, etc. I also want to also have a spread in a fitness magazine whether its performing exercises or just taking pictures in shorts in a sports bra. Hopefully this website can lead me into that direction. So if anyone is interested in ANY fitness models or could use me for anything pertaining to fitness/swimsuit, I would be more than interested!

Repairing interior wall cavity with mold, what would you do? (Pics included)
3 Attachment(s)
Hi, I recently discovered a roof leak by way if finding mold on a ground floor wall. Water was leaking down 3 stories behind the water barrier and then found a route inside at a bathroom vent. Hopefully the water leak is now gone but a few more rainstorms will verify that.
I have removed the moldy and stained drywall and insulation, and have the room contained and sealed.
I am stepping through my remediation plan but since I now have pictures I thought would share and ask with my grateful thanks in advance if anyone sees anything that deserves special attention.
A few things I am worried about, one is some of the wood studs have some level of water damage, the completely rotted wood I have removed, for the most part the studs seem fine but have a minor amount of rot around a few edges, should they be replace entirely or just cleaned of mold?
Another trick will be the ductwork at the top turns up and goes up one more floor directly in front of the path of the leak, so that will be an obstacle to deal with that is new for me as I am sure I have to remove the ductwork to get at the molded section of the second floor.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. here are a few pics attached, I have more as well.
quick update
1 Attachment(s)
Hi, I found out a bit more detail which represents another wrinkle.
Just above the mold in the second picture is a piece of attached wood, which is fairly mold free. This piece supports a hydro meter attached outside the house. The worst mold appears below this piece of wood. There is mold above it as well but not nearly as much as you see in the picture. Am thinking that there are 2 entry points for water, one from the leaking roof which runs down the wall and another where the hydro meter is secured through the exterior wall to the wood. Either that or this is the spot where the water has settled.
Any thoughts on this? I will be calling the local hydro utility to see about taking a look at the meter.
Thanks for any input based on what you see. Not looking for definitive advice, just trying to pick the brain from anyone who has seen similiar. Hoping to pick up a few creative thoughts along the way that will help. Adding another pic that shows this better.
First thing would be to vacuum the area thoroughly. Then clean up with a 10% bleach/water solution. All the mold remediation wannabes will soon chime in to say that bleach won't kill mold, but that's BS. Lots of other things will kill it too, such as quaternaries and phenols, but bleach is easy to get and is effective. Let it dry and see what you have. The pictures are a little confusing as it looks like some of the whiter stuff is drywall dirt and not mold. You biggest challenge will be cleaning in hidden areas like behind the duct. And hidden areas MUST be cleaned. Anything that has rotted should be replaced. Period. Wood that is stained, but still solid, needs to be sealed. Kilz or Zinnser works. They even make specialty sealers for this, but it's a bit of overkill. Any other porous materials, like drywall need to be thrown away. You've had a long term leak with plenty of re-wetting. That means that mold has set up shop in these areas big time. You've already opened the area, so you've got high concentrations of mold spores floating everywhere, but for any further work, use a HEPA vac to clean up. You'll probably need to open up everything back to the sources of the leaks. Any insulation needs to go, as you'll never get it clean, even if it is dry. If anyone in your home suffers from any chronic respiratory illness or is undergoing cancer treatment or has any immune deficiency, then you need to get them away from this and get a pro in handle it. You may want to contact your insurance carrier and let them handle the repairs. Any material such as drywall needs to be cut back at least 12" beyond the end of the visible damage.
We have had no issues with any respiratory problems or any other health issues now or for the time that this has occurred so I am thinking we are good but obviously want it fixed up. Thanks again for your concern as we are very closely monitoring every little sneeze, etc.. just in case. But none of the symptoms have happened (no children, no elderly, no one immune compromised, no cancer treatment, etc..)
One of my next steps is to rent a HEPA vaccuum cleaner and get that done and then get the mold removed.
The duct area, as you say, will be the most challenging part. I am going to try to use Concrobium and their fogging application to see how that works for the hard to reach areas. If that works great, if not then I will have to remove the ductwork so I can get access to the hidden areas.
Most of the wood is, as you say, stained but solid, so I will get some of the products you mention. There are a few pieces though that I think have to come out (beyond the completely rotted ones already removed and disposed of).
Sounds like you have a plan. Molds have been around since before people and live in a greater variety of conditions. Getting them out of places where they don't belong is not rocket science. Common household molds need three things to thrive. Organic food, temperatures in the 40-110 degree range and moisture above 60%. The first two are almost impossible to control. That leaves the third. If the moisture problem is eliminated, then you should not have an issue. You just need to be thorough in your clean up. Even dead mold carcasses can be an allergen for some folks.

Here's a quick and dirty bit of rosterbation - involving what seems to me to be a prime but overlooked candidate to help fix the 1B situation if;/when the Jays resign themselves to the idea that Lind isn't the answer.There's a guy out there who, while aging and expensive, has the skill-set to be everything Lind was not. He's the ideal short term acquisition, but he's on a division rival and can't reasonably be expected to be acquired in a one-for-one deal. His name?Kevin Youkilis.Laying aside natural animosity to all things Yankee and Red Sox, there would be a certain satisfaction in Youk helping to bury his old teammates and a team that seems to be willing to throw him under the bus while replacing him with youth. The problem is, you need a third team to make it work. Specifically, you need a team that has and is willing to trade to the Sox a key piece, likely a couple of pitchers. That team knowing already that Alex will offer up prospects A,B, and C (or whatever) in return for him to be flipped to the Blue Jays.An example:Cubs trade Dempster to Red Sox for Youk, then Younk to Jays for Deck McGuire, Sean Nolin and Danny Farquhar (no idea what level of prospects it would actually take but obviously not top-10 guys)Or, if you prefer...Astros trade Wandy Rodriguez and Brandon Lyon for Youk and, say, Shoppach, then flipped to the Jays for acceptable prospects.You get the idea.The only glitch being whether or not the Red Sox anticipate the potential of a flip and refuse to deal with a team that might send him back to the division.Thoughts?

text: The forthcoming Mussanje Gelathi is sure to create some hot debates for it handles a brittle and sensitive subject of an older man falling for a much younger girl. An elderly college professor falls in love with his young student, creating confusion and dilemmas for both. Eventually, the professor realizes his folly and the film ends on a positive note.What makes the film more interesting apart from the storyline is that the role of the professor and student are played by a real-life father and daughter. Yes, Srinivas is playing the professor and his daughter Shalini plays the student with whom the professor falls in love. The film is written, produced and directed by Srinivas; dialogues are by Sushma Bhradwa, a final year engineering student who has acted in TV serials. The talkie portions is completed and there two songs yet to be canned. Navanitha Srinivas, Ganasri, Maina Chandru, Jadhav, Suma Rao, Vanishri are in the supporting cast.
