text: On 9 April Somerset FSB held a Small Business BIG VOTE meeting at The Rookery Manor in Weston-super-Mare. And were lucky enough to be able to welcome John Walker, the FSB National Chairman and Policy Chairman as our guest speaker and Peter Ashton, Chairman of the South West Policy Unit as our chairman. We invited Prospective Parliamentary Candidates from all the main parties in all Somerset constituencies to attend and take the opportunity to find out more about the issues affecting small businesses and the recommendations the FSB are making in their own manifesto. All candidates were sent a copy of the manifesto in advance. We also invited all members from across the region to join us and take the opportunity to raise their own questions and meet the candidates. We were disappointed a the low turnout of candidates but delighted that those who did attend found it a very useful and enjoyable occasion where they could ask us questions and talk to real Somerset small businesses from a wide range of different business sectors. Since the event we have been praised in the press by some of these candidates and we are delighted we are hearing some of our own recommendations supported by different parties. It seems that Small Businesses really are on the map! If you missed the event, you can catch up by watching our videos below. The first is of John Walker's presentation of the FSB manifesto. The second is an interview with John Walker.

A pig found roaming the countryside has given birth to a litter of piglets after being found a new home.
'Mysterious, dark beast'
Charlotte was collected by RSPCA officers in May after several callers had reported sighting a "mysterious, dark beast' roaming the local countryside in Eston Hills, Middlesbrough.
When a call came in from a member of the public to say a pig was in his garden, Deputy Chief Inspector (DCI) John Lawson attended the property and collected the animal.
Football fan
DCI Lawson said: "Charlotte proved difficult to catch, maybe because she felt particularly vulnerable due to her pregnant state, although we did not realise this at the time.
"The new owners said Charlotte settled in straight away; they even discovered she liked to play with a football. But they became concerned when they noticed her teats had become enlarged.
"We are delighted to hear she is not only well, but has had a healthy litter of piglets too. We will be keeping in touch with the owners and look forward to hearing about her progress."
Highly intelligent
The RSPCA added that pigs are highly intelligent, social animals. Owning and caring for a pig requires a great deal of commitment, time, knowledge, experience, skill, money, sufficient land on which to house the animal, specialist veterinary care when necessary and compliance with the legislation governing keeping a pig.
For more information about looking after pigs visit the farm animal advice section of the RSPCA website.

Gerard Gaskin: Legendary
Artist Talk & Book Signing
3pm Saturday, March 29, 2014
at the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center, 300 Wall St, Kingston, NY
Join CPW and the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center for this special artist talk and book signing with Gerard Gaskin for his publication Legendary: Inside the House Ballroom Scene.
Gaskin's color and black-and-white photographs take us inside the culture of house balls, underground events where gay and transgender men and women, mostly African American and Latino, come together to see and be seen. At balls, high-spirited late-night pageants, members of particular "houses" "walk," competing for trophies in categories based on costume, attitude, dance moves, and "realness." In this exuberant world of artistry and self-fashioning, people often marginalized for being who they are can flaunt and celebrate their most vibrant, spectacular selves. From the quiet backstage, to the shimmering energies of the runway, to the electricity of the crowd, Gaskin's photographs take us to the ball. Legendary, composed of photos taken at events in the New York area, Philadelphia, Richmond, and Washington, D.C., is a collaboration between Gaskin, a camera-laden outsider who has been attending balls for twenty years, and the house members who let him enter the intimate world of ball culture.
Gaskin's work for Legendary was selected from two hundred entries in the sixth biennial First Book Prize competition. Sponsored by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University and the Honickman Foundation in Philadelphia, this prestigious prize honors work that is visually compelling, that bears witness, and that has integrity of purpose. For more information about the CDS/Honickman First Book Prize in Photography, click here.
This event is free and open to the public. Signed copies of Legendary: Inside the House Ballroom Scene will be available for purchase.
Gerard H. Gaskin, a native of Trinidad and Tobago, earned a B.A. from Hunter College in 1994. As a freelance photographer based in the greater New York City area, his work has been widely published in such publications as the New York Times, Newsday, Black Enterprise, OneWorld, Teen People, Caribbean Beat, and DownBeat; other clientele include record companies Island, Sony, Def Jam, and Mercury. His work has also been included in the books Committed to the Image: Contemporary Black Photographers (2001) and New York: A State of Mind (2000). His photographs have been exhibited across the country including at the Brooklyn Museum and Queens Museum of Art, and abroad in Goethe-Institute Accra (Accra, Ghana) and Fototeca de Cuba Habana (Vieja, Cuba) among others. Additionally his photographs are included in the collections of the Museum of the City of New York and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, amongst others. He was a 2002 recipient of a NYFA Fellowship in Photography and a 2005 Queen Council on the Arts Individual Artists Award. He was an Artist-in-Residence at Light Work (Syracuse, NY) in 2010, and here at the Center for Photography at Woodstock in 2011.

Electroplankton is a pretty amazing title. I don't think there's any other "game" out there that instantly lays bare the strengths and weaknesses of its publisher as this one does.
Electroplankton is a perfect example of Nintendo at its very best -- and its very worst. If you've just picked it up, you're probably saying: "Peer, you're a horrible, nit-picking Nintendo-hater. This thing is original, it's fun, and it's even got the same, playful manual as the Japanese release."
I absolutely agree. Electroplankton starts off as a really charming touch-screen music tool. You play around with the different setups and before you know it, you've spent hours playing with the tiny little creatures and making music on the way. Nintendo has promised us unique new ways of playing -- and with games like Nintendogs, the Japanese "Brain" games, and others, they've definitely delivered on that promise.
Then there is the other side of Nintendo -- the one that has created a mushroom kingdom where only certain brands will succeed. One that has gotten its users so horny about a small amount of quality franchises, anything that is created outside of them will not succeed. It's a userbase that is so predictable that a product like Electroplankton (or the ill-fated N64 "game" Talent Studio) just can't be released to retailers unless it's got Mario on the cover. The impact is of course most strongly felt by third-party publishers. Many of them tried to boost the success of their wares on GameCube by making partnerships with Nintendo and putting Link (Soulcalibur II) or Mario in their titles (Dance Dance, SSX, NBA Live, and so on).
Risk of commercial failure with new titles is unfortunately also what keeps Nintendo from sinking a lot more development effort into its titles (the Zelda and Mario headliner titles being an exception). Why spend hundreds of thousands on CG work, voice actors, music, and packaging if you can get by with the bare necessities and make a higher profit? So where does Electroplankton fit in? Well, the game is so unique and experimental, Nintendo is simply too chicken to a) release it to a wide audience in the US (you will not find it in retail stores), b) in an effort to cut cost on the cart and development time the title is deprived of any sort of save feature (say, wouldn't you want to actually RECORD your creations?), link up modes, or depth beyond the initial mode exploration.
It's a strange dichotomy, to be sure. In public forums, like trade shows and events, Nintendo execs will cry foul about a loss of creativity in the games business, and say it's responsible for an overall decrease in sales. At the same time, its own consoles can only exist within "Mario bubbles" -- you can be as creative as you want, your games will tank if they're not made-in-Nintendo and feature the plumber (or Pokemon, or Link, etc.). Nintendo itself is so fearful of its own titles bombing, some of the more creative titles in recent times that came out on Nintendo platforms never made it stateside: Jam With the Band, Giftpia, Doshin the Giant, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, and more.
Electroplankton is really the perfect Nintendo game: It's really fun. It's really easy and anyone can get into it. The audience that should REALLY be exposed to it -- kids who only buy branded crap and established franchises -- will never even know it exists. And it perfectly delivers on Nintendo's promise of "making simpler games." Electroplankton probably cost $85.95 to develop. The cartridge it ships on has the storage space of a C64 disk. And the game experience lasts just long enough to make you want to buy another game. Made by Nintendo, of course.

The 39 Public Libraries of Jefferson County collected approximately 11 tons of food during the month of September.
The September Library Food for Fines drive was held the month of September in conjunction with the annual National Library Card Sign-up Month. Fines were waived for each item of food donated up to $10.00 per patron. Canned goods and other non-perishable food items were collected and donated to local food banks such as United Way, Magic City Harvest, and Greater Birmingham Ministries. Many libraries donated to a local church or food bank in their neighborhood.
Spokesperson Pat Ryan, executive director of Jefferson County Library Cooperative said, "We had not held an amnesty campaign since 1997. Therefore, we felt this was a good time to give back to the community and the Food for Fines program helped us do that." The public libraries hope to make this an annual September event.

'He's going to say no, you know that right?'
Oak pulled his mind from the darkness and back into the now. He shot a sidelong glance at Varn and grunted, hoping that would be a good enough answer to what ever it was he said.
It wasn't.
'Oak, you do know he is going to refuse, right?' he asked again.
'I know Varn.' Whispered Oak. Straightening the emerald breastplate so it sat more comfortably across his chest and altering the sword sheathed to his hip.
'Then why go?'
Oak looked at his oldest friend dead in the eye, they had grown up together, learned to climb and fight together, trained together and fought side by side more times than either of them could count. But in that one moment the words coming out of his mouth were so stupid Oak had to physically stop himself from punching him in the mouth.
'Because I'm going, no matter what he says.' Oak sighed as the anger passed. 'I just want to tell him why before I'm labeled an exile.'
'Oak,' said a voice down the carved corridor. A monk stood with his hood raised and tattooed face smiling at them both. 'If you still wish to speak…'
'I do brother.' He said with a respectful nod of the head.
'Then proceed. He is waiting.' With those words the monk smiled, bowed, and left.
It felt strange, knowing what was about to happen, what he was about to say and do…He'd made his mind up weeks ago, when the first signs of spring had first touched the forest, now the trees were thick with summer leaves and the days were starting to grow short. He knew he would have to go soon, and had cemented in his mind that he would explain why to Him before abandoning his people in search of a myth. When he imagined this moment only days ago Oak thought he would feel empowered, or determined.
But he only felt like he had for the last year…
'Well,' Varn said awkwardly, he never was one for goodbyes. 'I guess this is it.'
Oak turned to him and offered a smile, which obviously wasn't very convincing. Shaking at the forearms the two warriors stood a moment, thinking back over the years they had spent together. 'Is there nothing I can say to make you change your mind Oak?'
'Goodbye Varn.' Oak let go and walked down the corridor where the monk had been, trying not to think about how Varn felt, nearly three decades of friendship ended by two words…He had to do this, he had to.
Pushing open a set of carved doors sunlight nearly blinded Oak, birdsong immediately filled his ears and the smell of the forest tickled his nostrils. The Glade had been a sacred place for over a millennium, for obvious reasons, but Oak always felt that even without the presence of the Green One that it still would have been incredibly beautiful. The whole thing was so thick with trees of every imaginable species that it was hard to see thirty feet in front of you, but from the balcony of the temple tree where Oak stood you could see over the canopy to where the sheer white cliff face rose above everything. Shining in the sunlight like a crystal in a cave, the great waterfall falling from its peak without ever ceasing. Feeding the great lake that Oak knew rested at the foot of the white cliff.
'Beautiful is it not.' His great voice resonated to Oak. It's bass and timbre like nothing else in this world.
'It is,' Oak replied to the air as a gust of wind rattled the leaves around him. Such informality would have seen others punished, but Oak carried a sacred name that he had earned through a lifetime of war…plus he thought the Green One liked him.
'You want to talk.' The voice boomed again, it's presence in his mind giving him the familiar feeling of inferiority.
'I do.'
'Then come. You know where to find me.'
Walking through the Glade was an experience unto itself, to see every species of flower known to man coating the floor and all in full bloom, watching birds sing together and dance on the gentle breeze. A few minutes into his walk Oak heard a snuffle beside him in the undergrowth. Suddenly two wolf pups shot from beneath a thicket of brambles, rolling and playing with one another who were quickly followed by a fawn, who jumped and played with the wolf pups as if it was a pup itself. This was the strangest of the Green One's effects on the Glade, predator and prey living side by side. He had once told Oak that there was no death in the Glade accept the changing of seasons, whether it was true or not the slim warrior wasn't sure, but seeing wolf play with deer and hawk sit with songbird was very disconcerting.
It took him close to twenty minutes to reach the lake, a mirror flat expanse of crystal clear water that despite being so clean still somehow managed to reflect the sky above. The only thing that broke its surface was an archipelago of large boulders close to the center, which had sat there for so long two of the larger stones had trees growing from them. Oak stood at the edge of the water and took a moment to admire the scenery, the waterfall crashing down from the white cliff far off to his right, the sound of the thundering water barely as loud as a mosquito's drone. Everything about this place emanated peace and tranquility.
It felt like home.
For several moments Oak didn't realize he was being watched. But across the lake, stood proud of a large hill close to the bank, a white stag stared at him. Oak couldn't see it; no mortal being could, for no one can see a soul.
But he felt its hard white eyes on him, scanning, evaluating, judging.
They were eyes that had seen a million-million humans in its lifetime…but none quite like him.
'You look different this day Blademaster.' His voice rumbled in Oak's mind. Shaking him to his core.
Oak bowed. 'I feel different, my lord.'
'It is strange. I have seen your civilization grow from nothing to the kingdoms it is today,' as He spoke Oak felt the ground shake beneath his leather boots. The hillside where the stag had stood a moment ago began to crack and move as trees were uprooted and soil was disturbed. 'But in all my life one thing has never changed,' emerald scales glistened in the sunlight, a huge clawed hand broke free from the earth, a long thin body unwound, and a great antlered head turned and looked at Oak.
With eyes the colour of fire. 'The look of a widowed husband.' Silvanus rumbled.
Oak had been given the highest honour during his life, to be able to see two of the Elemental Creators, when fighting with the sailors of the Great Water he been allowed an audience with their elemental, Lir. Seeing her was an honour…
But somehow He was different.
Silvanus, the Green One, Keeper of the Forest and protector of nature.
Through the millennia humans had called them many names, and Silvanus had admitted he had so many he couldn't remember what he was originally named, but to Oak one fit best above all others…Dragons.
Unraveling his slim body Silvanus shook the last clumps of dirt from his scales, but still he couldn't shift the tress that had grown between the great row of spines along his back, or the odd species of moss that had grown off his lower jawline like a beard over the centuries. With predatory grace Silvanus slipped into the lake, not even a ripple disturbing its surface as he swam across to Oak, only his stag like antlers breaking the surface of the water.
Lifting from the out like a cobra prepared to strike Oak felt the familiar sense of vulnerability he always did when meeting the forest dragon, at his full six foot tall the Blademaster was just an ant to this dragon. Barely tall enough to reach his knee. 'Oak.' His voice spoke as it always did, with no movement from his mouth, it just…was, no sound other than deep growls and roars ever escaped those prison bars of razor sharp teeth.
'My lord,' he said with another bow.
Scarlet eyes scanned him intently. 'You are not yourself Blademaster, your spirit is dim and quiet.' It was a statement more than anything else, and there was no point denying it.
'I have not been myself for many months, it is why I am here.'
'I know why you are here,' Silvanus hammered into his mind, as Oak nearly sank to his knees in pain a pair of song thrushes landed on the Green One's left antler and began to sing. 'I have seen loss in your people many times before Oak, I have counseled Blademaster's of ancient times on how to deal with grief, they always come seeking words…you are here for something different.'
Again, there was no point in lying. 'I am, lord.'
Silvanus lowered his upper-body slowly, finishing so his teeth were only a foot away from Oak's nose, crimson eyes still staring. 'Tell me, what do you seek.'
'Every element has a creator, you created nature, your sister the oceans, Baldur created fire, Kulana the wind and air, Tamagan the metal in the earth,'
'Then who created time?' Oak asked meeting his lords burning eyes.
The roar that followed was near deafening, roasting hot air bathed Oak from head to toe and he could feel the fire that glowed deep in the heart of the dragon. But he didn't back down. He just planted his feet and pushed against it. He had to do this. 'You wish to leave your kingdom to chase a legend!' Silvanus yelled, still roaring.
Snapping his jaws shut with a powerful crack Silvanus turned away, shaking the birds of their perch momanterily before they settled back down. 'Tell me why?' he asked, almost…gently.
'Because I can't stare at the whole she left in my life anymore and live with it, I can't climb into a bed on my own again, I can't see her clothes in my home without her in them…I am empty Silvanus, I died with her that day. I want her back.'
A red eye looked at Oak, lowering so they were face to face. 'I cannot save Scylla any more than you can Oak, but I can still save you from yourself, she is dead, you do not have to follow her.'
Oak laughed at that. 'I followed her my hole life my lord.'
Silence. It stretched between them for a very long time and Oak made sure not to break eye contact with the dragon that stared down at him as snakes wound around his massive onyx claws.
'There are something's even we do not speak of; the Great Ones are one such thing.' Said Silvanus, his voice a distant whisper in the well of Oak's mind. 'Find the ice that touches the sky.' Silvanus turned and began to swim back across the lake, his voice returning to its powerful boom. 'Go Oak, your title of Blademaster will be passed to another and your people will strike your name from the annals of the forest. You are exiled.'
Oak smiled, he had to do this. 'My lord.' Turning and leaving Oak wrapped a hand around his sword handle, his steps full of newfound energy.
Across the lake Silvanus watched him go, the white stag at his side, with unspoken orders the stag walked across the water, following in the Blademaster's footsteps.

Boaters rescued twice in past 3 weeks from Seminole Co. rivers
SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. - Twice in the past three weeks, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office has had to help boaters who've gotten lost on the county's rivers.
Channel 9's Karla Ray spoke to people out paddling today
about the extra precautions they need to take when the river runs high.
High water levels forced the Seminole County deputies to put their helicopter in the hair to help lost canoeists or boaters find their way home.
Video obtained by Channel 9 shows how two women got lost along the Wekiva River last week.
A week before that, a father and son got lost and had to be rescued while canoeing on the Little Econ River.
Seminole County officials said they haven't seen any more rain than normal for the summer months, but since the end of summer is near, the river levels are the highest they'll be for some time.
The Sheriff's Office said that from the air,
they can find anyone with a cellphone that is receiving GPS signals, as most smartphones do automatically.
"It's good," said Pat Blanchard, who was on the river for Labor Day. "I had my cellphone in the boat just for that very reason. I could call someone if we did get lost or something happened."
River regulars told Channel 9 it's just one more tool to keep safe.
"Wear your life jacket, and be prepared," said boater John Lukas.

I don't know what they guy is like in person, and he's accomplished a lot in his life as an outdoorsman, but I can't get past this arrogant, egostitical, know-it-all vibe coming from his website. His whole don't share attitude bugs me, as if I couldn't figure out how to cut up a walmart sleeping pad and tape it into a z-rest all on my own. It's a pretty sharp contrast to many of the other cottage manufacturers that come on the forums freely giving out instructions on their techniques and methods, encouraging others to make stuff themselves. One example would be Chris Zimmer posting on here how he makes his shoulder straps. What'd he lose? A sale or two to a couple of adventurous people who might try making their own packs? Even if I can make my own pack, chances are it'd be a touch on the crappy side. If I buy a pack from Chris Zimmer (or any other cottage manufacturer, just using him as an example) I'm buying his skill and craftsmanship in a nice looking quality pack.
Another off the top of my head example is Six Moon Designs freely posting patters for their bivy and tarp.
But maybe it's just me- I like sharing. Being told I can't just rubs me the wrong way.

Last I checked he didn't list what specific fabrics and materials came with the kits and you couldn't get the pack dvd without buying the whole kit. That was enough to keep me from being a customer. I understand he's in the business of being a business and trying to make money, but the way everything comes off doesn't jive with me.Aug 31, 2011 at 4:29 pm #1774828

I think he just ticked he was taken for ride by Golite and he wants to make every thing he knows about backpacking light a special little secret he passing on to you .
Like he does in his book his term for sponge/wet rag homeless person bath is a "Dundo shower" he keeps mentioning it in his book you don't find out till after 270 plus pages later what it really is.
You should read him rant about not to buy thing with a label and if it does how to cross it out with a sharpie marker or rip the tag off or sew a light weight silnylon patch over embroidered labels.
I also think he trying to make a living he try to put together kits. But quest fabric and Thru hiker do the same thing he does. To bad their is not company like Frostline kits from the 1970's who sends you real full size patterns like dress makers use and supplies you need with step by step instructions and sewing tips. That how I learned how to sew in boy scouts 39 years ago when I made a down sleeping bag and stuff sack.

I think because (as far as he is concerned) he has been doing this before anyone else and it's almost as if he thinks he should be the one who is responsible for it's upcoming.
It's almost as a claim to a paten that no one else should use because other companies only altered a piece of gear that was already made perfect by him and thus that other piece of gear is not good for not only you but as a whole in the community to have.
Although he has sparked the interest for many ultaliters, it's crazy how every piece of my gear is now lighter, better, and more useful than everything in his gear list.Aug 31, 2011 at 7:53 pm #1774900

I am put off by his idea that you shouldn't share your instructions or make more than one item per set of instructions.
It seems to work though; I've seen people in the gear swap claim you can't resell the instructions because they are 'patented'.
Oh well. There are plenty of other hobbyists willing to share their methods and ideas.Aug 31, 2011 at 9:31 pm #1774920

I've purchased some Ray Way products and I guess I can understand his wish to buy another kit if you want to make a second item and not to share the pattern, since it is in effect intellectual property. It's similar to software licenses where you are supposed to use it only on one machine.
I don't understand however why Ray would not give technical support for a product purchased from him. I had purchased an item a while back and forgot an instruction so I emailed Ray with a simple question which clearly Ray new the answer to. His response to me was that "He could not remember off hand" but that the next time I ordered another item from him to ask the question in my order and he would "dig up the answer"
Needless to say I have never ordered anything from him again since he clearly will not provide technical support for the product after purchase.Aug 31, 2011 at 10:42 pm #1774932

Vote with your wallet by supporting companies that share your values and value you as a human.
I only hope people would do the same with all companies they interact with – if enough people stopped buying clothing from companies that use sweat shops, pulled their money out of banks that caused the subprime mortgage crisis, didn't buy food from giant agribusiness that wipe out the rainforest to put up a palm oil plantation, etc these practices would go away.Sep 1, 2011 at 3:40 am #1774955

Yes, Kat. You can see it right on his website before the proceed with order button. I would copy/paste what it says but he has blocked copy/paste on his website. Give it a try yourself. Of course you can work around it but I am not going to put forth the effort.
Also, it's not like a software license; it's like a book. Once you buy it, it is yours and you are free to resell it.Sep 1, 2011 at 8:32 am #1775009

In the world of marine architecture, you normally get the rights to make one boat from a plan set. I believe it is the same with building architects as well. Of course you can negotiate for multiples, but the designer owns the design unless he explicitly sells the rights to it. If someone designs for a living, you steal from them when you violate their intellectual property rights. They are under no obligation to share their work freely. Of course you can try to knock off their design, but you better not get caught selling them.
You may not have been communicating with Ray when you made you inquiry. I have no idea what his business arrangement is, but he may have an assistant answering mail and shipping items.
IMHO, Ray Jardine is an engineer at heart and by practice. Did you know he holds patents on the cam climbing devices? And he had the cajones to stand down the conventional wisdom of a good part of the outdoor recreation industry. If you read his book, I think his diatribes on diet and foods illuminate the crackpot side of his personality too. So think nerdy-inventor-iconoclast rather than a slick business type with an MBA. People are often brilliant in one area and not so much in others.
We're lucky that many of the cottage makers are good on the service side too. A few have been weak on the communication side, or keeping up with order deadlines, etc. I think we've seen some outlandish responses from a couple of the more corporate equipment manufacturers in the forums over the last year or so, doing more damage than good to their reputations. Business is the Wild West, with a lot of variation in quality of product and service. I do agree with voting with your wallet— you want the product enough to put up with the annoyances or you don't.Sep 1, 2011 at 9:24 am #1775039

Blocking the usage of the right mouse button is silly. As is embedding your images in Flash objects. You'll see business often do such silly things. The Ray Jardine website does both.
To circumvent the blocking of the right mouse button one simply has to disable scripts. This can be done by a browser extension such as NoScript or even just chaining an option in your browser settings.
Stripping an image from a Flash object is almost as easy. Not to mention the PrntScrn key in Windows and the Grab utility, among others, in OSX.
Anyone that wants to "steal" his intellectual "property" can easily do so. All he's doing is annoying readers/customers and robbing himself of goodwill, links, photo credits, and/or Google image search hits. And for what?Sep 1, 2011 at 9:59 am #1775053

I hear you about architectural designs. From the persepective of someone who sews and buys patterns at the store, this seems a bit much. Whatever he wants to do is fine by me.

Dale really hit the mark here. Go back to the climbing world of 30 years ago, Ray J. was a genius crackpot then just like he is now. His powers of analysis and synthesis are extremely strong. His ability to connect with others and understand his arrogance are extremely poor. It's a singular coin with 2 sides, all part of the whole.
IMO Ray is not some Snidely Whiplash with an MBA, scheming to milk you of your hard earned pennies with his 1-use-only patterns. He's just a boy genius with a retarded sense of human connection who is getting along the only way he knows how to do it.
My heart breaks for his poor wife.
Ray's Way used to irritate me too until I took a cafeteria attitude with his work: take what I need, leave the rest.Oct 4, 2011 at 12:47 pm #1786615

I am more perturbed at how he is so readily dismissed on this site. I first heard of the Pacific Crest trail in 1998 or '99. Web search turned up Ray Jardine and his books more readily than any other source when researching the PCT. He freely outlined lightweight/ultralight techniques when such a thing was all but unheard of or at least forgotten.
He may be mistaken about dietary needs and often bombastic but he is largely responsible for promoting lightweight concepts to the public at large. Yes he has contemporaries but it seems unlikely that much of the cottage gear accepted as nearly mandatory on this site would even exist without his influence on how thru-hiking can best be accomplished.
I also find it notable that before his web store his patterns were available freely on the web or in his books. He also provided elaborate enough description of his ideas that they could be created independently with a little trial and error. I primarily remember his emphasis on creating inexpensive and custom-tailored gear for yourself, not that he had a disturbing fondness for corn pasta.Oct 4, 2011 at 1:30 pm #1786644

Thanks Matt, I'm with you!
Despite Jardine's sometimes preachy tone, especially in his earlier books, he makes a big point that what he describes is what works for him, based on his opinions and experience (and he has LOTS of it!).
He emphasizes this even more in his later books, but how many times does he need to repeat it before he gets the point across? In his later books he also tones things down quite a bit and comes across as much less preachy and bombastic. He constantly notes that you should try things out for yourself and come to your own conclusions. I think his book Trail Life is second to none, and his new tarp book is great (my BPL review coming soon…).
I find the vast majority of his advice to be extremely sound and his techniques to be excellent. I've saved fortunes making my own gear (RayWay design or my own). I use tarps and quilts almost exclusively. I likely wouldn't be backpacking in my late 50's at all if it wasn't for Jardine.
Give the guy a break: ignore his odd penchant for corn pasta and other harmless quirks, don't get upset when you don't like his tone of voice, and appreciate his great designs, vast experience and sound advice.

Honda has Produced the Most Durable and Long-Lasting Vehicles in its Class for the Past 25 Years
No other major automaker has had a higher percentage of vehicles on the road from 1988 to 2012, according to Polk vehicle registration statistics.
Vehicles bearing the Honda brand maintain a very high residual value. Whether purchased new or used, drivers throughout the world have found that Honda models continue to be reliable, well-made, and mechanically sound.
Honda has earned several important industry value awards over the years, including the Best Mainstream Brand in the annual ALG Residual Value Awards. The ALG award, which recognizes the vehicles that are most likely to retain the highest percentage of their original price after a period of three years, has been given to Honda for 8 years out of the past 12 — more than any other automaker.
Just last year, Honda received the Best Resale Value Award from KBB.com for several of their 2013 models, and the automaker was also recognized by Edmunds.com with a Best Retained Value award.
This is a testament to the quality of the Honda brand, which continues to offer the driving public dependable, long-lasting vehicles that combine smart engineering and meticulous craftsmanship with excellent performance capabilities and outstanding fuel economy.
Honda earned the number one ranking in this determination of the longevity of non-luxury competing automotive brands based on IHS Automotive and Polk U.S. registration statistics for vehicles in operation from 1988 to 2012. It's a safe bet that drivers can expect the same high level of quality in the new models currently available at dealerships such as Motor Werks Honda in Barrington, IL.
To learn more about all of the new vehicles in the Honda lineup, Chicago area drivers should stop by Motor Werks Honda. Motor Werks Honda is located at 1475 S. Barrington Rd. in Barrington, IL. Contact the dealership (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/

Swoopes TDs, 4 picks help Texas blank Kansas 23-0
Tyrone Swoopes passed for one touchdown and ran for another and Texas picked off four Kansas passes, leading the Longhorns to a 23-0 victory Saturday in the Big 12 opener.
Swoopes, in his first start in a conference game, was 19 for 34 for 218 yards and two TDs as Texas (2-2, 1-0) beat Kansas for the 12th straight time. A stifling Texas defense limited Kansas sophomore Montell Cozart to 12 for 31 for 140 yards and the four picks. Cornerback Duke Thomas had two of the interceptions and also broke up a short pass in the end zone on fourth down. Texas also sacked Cozart four times while holding the Jayhawks to 313 total yards.
All week long, Kansas (2-2, 0-1) kept the Texas fight song blaring across the practice field and filled the locker room with reminders that the Jayhawks had not beaten Texas in 76 years.
But Texas, despite crippling injuries and nine player dismissals, never trailed the team that has now lost 30 of its last 31 Big 12 games.
Thomas' first interception and an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty set up the touchdown that gave Texas a 13-0 halftime lead. Thomas intercepted Cozart's pass and raced 24 yards to the 26, then the half-the-distance penalty gave the Longhorns a first down on the 13. Two plays later from the 7, Swoopes went around left end and squeezed into the corner of the end zone for the TD.
Kansas, failing to get a first down when linebacker Ben Heeney recovered a Texas fumble at the Kansas 2, punted to Jaxon Shipley, who sped 41 yards with the return and set up the Longhorns on the 18. On third-and-3, Swoopes hit Malcolm Brown for 10 yards to the 1. Next play, Swoopes spotted M.J. McFarland wide open in the back of the end zone. The extra-point attempt failed.
After taking over on downs late in the fourth quarter, the Longhorns made it 23-0 when Swoopes connected with John Harris on a 16-yard scoring pass. In the third quarter, Nick Rose, who missed the extra point after Texas' first touchdown, kicked a 42-yard field goal.
Kansas, following a 35-yard pass play from Cozart to Jimmay Mundine, had a second-and-8 from the 18. But Cozart's pass was tipped high into the air at the line and floated into the arms of Texas defender Quandre Diggs in the end zone. The Longhorns then marched all the way to the 5, aided by Armanti Foreman's 30-yard gain on a reverse. But Heeney fell on what was described as a team fumble and turned the ball back to the Jayhawks on their own 2.
With their second possession of the second half, the Jayhawks marched all the way from their own 16 to the Texas 5. On fourth down, Cozart lofted a fade pass to Nigel King. But with Thomas defending, the ball fell incomplete.

A question for Jeff and others ...
Thanks for posting the link to the Long Island Sound PHRF website. I checked out the base boat listing pdf document from June 2004 and have saved it for future reference.
While checking out my usual list of suspects I came across an interesting listing.
The C&C25 OB is listed at 225 and the C&C25 IB is listed at 222 with an exposed prop. I think the 222 is a valid number but am surprised the OB version is listed as slower rather than faster.
Can anyone explain how an inboard version of the same boat rates as faster than the outboard version in base boat ratings? This really surprises me.
For those interested the link is
A question for Jeff and others ...
well the wonders of phrf
it might be as simple that in THAT region the inboards are smoking the outboards and over the years that will reflect on the rating ....
The phrf in a different region might be vastly different !
Also just a hint. It might be that the inboard version has the weight of the motor, just at the right point to make her go faster than the one who has a lot of weight hangin on a very bad spot ...

FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY I published a blog post about "dirsuptions in publishing" and at that time I pushed the post forward five years so I could see whether my predictions were accurate. Back in 2012, I was interested in what kinds of disruptions commissiong editor Eoin Purcell was seeing in the print industry. I brought my Kindle (at left) to the table and listened. At the time, Random House, the USA's largest publisher, was getting 20% of its U.S. revenue from digital sales. Amazon was adding an author a week to its list of million sellers in Kindle e-book sales. Six of the top 20 titles on USA Today's Best-Selling Books list were e-books. Barnes and Noble was hoping that its Nook would keep the basic business afloat. And back on campus, we were teaching students how to create content with Adobe InDesign and Calibre recipes. I made the soft prediction that students would like to have as many choices in reading formats as possible and that hard cover textbooks were less important than e-books whose pages they could print on demand. I thought that my young daughter would want to continue reading on her iPad and also with... Continue reading

WE HAVE COMPLETED six hours of field work with two types of 360 cameras in the digital media module I teach at the Limerick Institute of Technology. I feel qualified to offer tips to other educators about using both the Giroptic 360 Camera and the Ricoh Theta S. The best advice comes from the students themselves. In all cases, we need to plan the shots beforehand. I break down the tasks and designate roles such as key grip, camera operator, and documentary photographer. And the rest of the students are extras who speak or act in the 30 second segments. We prefer to operate the cameras via apps that connect to the hardware via WiFi. The best operating system for controlling the 360 cameras is iOS in our experience. It appears iOS offers better WiFi connectivity to the cameras. We snap still images that students often share on Facebook and we record short 360 video clips that we will edit in Premiere Pro. All imagery is saved on an iPad Mini 4 and then transferred via the OneDrive app to shared space for students to copy and repurpose. We display the 360 images online through Flickr and Google Maps.

Teachers' work-to-rule boots Santa from New Waterford school
NEW WATERFORD, N.S. - It looks like Santa Claus is on a Cape Breton school's naughty list.
Kentville man wants to find Liverpool area man who literally saved his life.
Liverpool - Andrew Williams of Kentville is searching for the Liverpool area man who saved his life last month. He only knows his name as "Ryan" but he is certain that if it weren't for Ryan, he would be dead.
Williams moved to Kentville only about a year ago, and on October 18, he decided to take a tour alone in his vehicle.
"I had spent some time in Keji taking photographs of the autumn foliage and came back through Liverpool," he says.
"I decided that I would drive back a more scenic route, and of course I'm new to the area so I was just kind of exploring."
As he drove down the Eastern Shore Road in Brooklyn, however, he was overtaken by a "stabbing pain in my chest which just took my breath away," he says. That stabbing pain turned out be an aortic aneurysm, which has an extremely low survival rate.
All he could do was pull into the nearest driveway for help.
That's when Ryan appeared.
"Ryan opened the door and said 'are your all right sir, is there anything I can do?'" says Williams.
"I was in pain I had my down on the top of the car trying to, you know, get it together and I said "I think I'm having a heart attack can you get me to the nearest hospital.?' "
That's when Ryan took over. He grabbed William's keys, jumped in his car, and started speeding to Queens General Hospital.
"Frankly he was a young man who was determined to get me to hospital. He said 'don't worry I've been driving racing cars', and he drove fast, even scooting through the intersection where the Tim Horton's is, and he knew where that hospital was. I'm not sure I would have found that hospital."
Not that Williams could have found it even if he tried.
"I knew from my experience that waiting for an ambulance wasn't a good idea. We got to that hospital in under ten minutes."
The last thing Williams remembers is Ryan handing the nurse his keys. He woke up four days later in the QE11 in Halifax, where doctor's there had done open heart surgery to repair the aneurysm.
"Part of why I am determined to find Ryan is that the survival rate is so poor for that condition. 50 per cent die before they make it to the hospital, 30 per cent die on the operating table, so I owe this man my life," says Williams, welling up with emotion.
"I want to be able to thank him. I owe him. And it's a debt I'll never repay. I want him to know that I'm alive and that he's the reason. "

Chapter 14
How am I going to get out of this? There's no way I can get to the door without being noticed, and there aren't any windows from what I saw before I decided to hide under the bed. Finally I conclude that I'll have to wait until whoever this is leaves to make my escape. But the boots start moving again, and my heartbeat picks up, betraying me, as the boots come around to the end of the bed.
I hear the click and thud of the dresser doors being opened then closed, and the boots come around to my side. I close my eyes and breathe in and out through my nose. The blood pulsing through my ears muffles every other sound. So when he speaks, my heart literally skips a beat. "You're going to have to do better than that if you want to get out of here."
A hand clasps around my upper arm and my eyes pop open. My breath comes out in a panicked gasp and I'm pulled out into the room by a man in a mask who grabs my other arm and pulls me to my feet. I start screaming and kicking wildly, looking for any point of contact, but a hand over my mouth swiftly silences me. I stare at him, eyes wide. His eyes meet mine and I blink.
He has blue eyes. "Would you stop screaming?"
I still shout against his hand, but I stop fighting him. It won't do me any good- it'll just tire me out. "If you stop," he says softly, like he's talking to a child, "I'll take my hand away. Deal?" I breathe heavily against his skin, still uncomfortable, but nod.
I'm fully intending to scream when he takes his hand away, but instead, the first thing that comes out of my mouth is, "Where's Peter?" He ignores my question, though, and his light blue eyes focus on my forehead.
"You opened up your cut again. You'd better keep some pressure on that." I lift a hand to the throbbing point above my eye and my fingers slip. Blood. I press down on it, even though it stings. Here," he says and turns around to a table behind him. "Put this on it." He hands me a white tube and twists off a cap. I look up at his mask, then back at the tube, skeptically. He rolls his eyes. "It's a salve from the infirmary. It'll help the skin heal. It's better than stitches, trust me. I've already put it on you twice, when you were unconscious. I figure you can do it yourself now."
He turns away and heads through another door and I look back down at the tube. I squeeze a little of the pale liquid onto my finger: it smells like peppermint. Hesitantly, I spread it over the bloody spot and the pain stops immediately. I sigh with contentment and close the tube. Blue-eyes returns from the other room with an ice pack and hands it to me.
"For your arm," he says, nodding to my right arm. I look down. It's black and blue from the shoulder to the elbow. I nod in acknowledgement and press the cold ice to my arm. It's painful for a moment before the coolness begins to spread to my aching muscles. Why is he acting like this? I wonder. I thought everyone here was a demon out to hurt us but he seems...kind. He looks at my arm for another moment, then his eyes flick up to mine. He turns away and goes back through the door. I watch him before he disappears behind the door, and then I hear water running. I sit back down on the bed.
This is it, I remind myself. The perfect time to escape. He can't see me and I have a clear shot to the door. I look over my shoulder at the door, but my eyes land on the painting. After making sure he is still in the other room, I go up to look at the painting again. I still cannot discern any pattern or shape, but it seems almost familiar in a way.
