Spiceworks showed us our 200 copies of Office were verified this morning. Now it shows a "License is not verified" next to them.
Why is that?

Hi Nathan,
Typically Spiceworks will pick up multiple software records for a single installation of Office (i.e. one for Word, another for Excel, etc.).
Is it possible there were certain components verified and other were not?
If you verify out all components do you notice them become unverified again?

P1 – the earth and the universe
Lesson 1 – The changing Earth
There are some really dull things in the solar system, for example, asteroids don't do much except rotate around the sun and they can also be very dangerous etc if one was to come crashing to earth that would be the end of life full stop. However earth is different it possesses something that all the other planets and things in our solar system do not and that would be oxygen and life.
Rocks change over the years – so the surface of the earth hasn't always looked the way it does now.
All the rock processes that we can see happening now – E.g erosion, sedimentation, volcanic activity, etc. Will have been going on for millions of years. Geologists can use that fact to explain how various modern landscapes were formed

text: I honestly hate making another thread under, "edged tools" just because there is a billion, even though it's my favorite section yet I do have a wondering...And possibly a stupid one, yet I shall ask nevertheless... Is there any real use for a neckknife? When bushcrafting I have a chopper on my pack and a small(4inch blade, usually) cutter on my belt... ...Yet I lust after the BHK Frontier Valley(anyone have one?), but I need to justify it, because I admit that I am a knifeaholic. So, what does everyone think? Is there any use in any way for a neckknife? At work I carry my BHK bushcrafter on my belt, but rarely use it because it is strapped in by the lanyard through the ferro rod, which is in turn strapped in...So it's a pain in the arse if I need it quickly, which I usually do. Penny for your thoughts?

I see the "close issue" link. Should I close it for you?
I'm going through and doing some JIRA cleanup, and I've found a problem
with a JIRA that doesn't seem to allow closing. This JIRA
Has already been integrated, but was left open for any potential
additional work. I think this should be closed out and new JIRAs opened
for additional POP3 features (which has already happened).
Unfortunately, this appears to have been switched over to an
RTC-process, and the Close or Resolve operations no longer appear
available. What's the appropriate way to close this one out?

City wage theft law unused in court
by: Essex Porter Updated:
Fast-food workers complain that they are forced to take less pay than they have earned, but 2-year-old law designed to help them has never been used in court.
"It makes me miserable knowing that this is my money that I earned and they're only giving me what I think I'm worth," testified fast-food worker Juanita Porter.
In a followup to the protest that shut down several fast-food restaurants in May, fast-food workers filled the City Council chambers to press their demand for a living wage of $15 an hour.
But they also told of employers who refused to pay them for all the hours they had worked.
"I was paid every week for 27 hours but actually ended up working 32 or more," said Caroline Durocher.
That could lead to the revocation of a business license under the city's wage theft law, but the 2-year-old law has never been used to prosecute a case.
"I think they're hard cases to try, I also think you see we have a city that hasn't maybe dedicated the types of resources to this," said City Council member Mike O'Brien
Council member Nick Licata thinks the city might need a new Office of Labor Standards Enforcement to help workers press their claims.
"There needs to be the certainty that there will be follow-up," Licata said, "and I think that's one of the biggest gaps going on right now.

TAMPA — Running back Evan Royster had a solid performance in Thursday's preseason finale but doesn't know if it was enough to secure a spot on the Washington Redskins' season-opening roster.
"I have no idea," Royster said. "If I was the one making the decision, I would not know what to do. I think we've all played well throughout the preseason and I think we're all just getting better. Actually I'm happy that I don't have to make this decision."
Royster ran for 59 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries as the Redskins beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He appears to be competing with Keiland Williams and Chris Thompson for one or two roster spots behind Alfred Morris and Roy Helu at tailback. Williams left Thursday's game with a sprained shoulder.
"I feel good," Royster said. "I have no idea what they're thinking. I'm just glad we made it a tough decision for them. That's what it's about, coming out here and competing and doing well. If I'm not here this year, that's too bad because this is where I want to be. I want to play football…. I just went out there and played my hardest. That's all I can do."
Have a Redskins question? E-mail Mike Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject line "Mailbag question" for him to answer it in The Mailbag.
What's ahead:
● Pat White's thoughts on whether he'll make the roster, at 9 a.m.
● The second round of cuts, due by 4 p.m. Saturday, requires rosters to go from 75 to 53.

Defensive tackle was a staple of the Philadelphia Eagles vaunted pass-rush from 2005-2012, but now resides on the other side of a heated NFC East divisional rivalry. The Giants signed the nine year veteran back in April to bolster a defensive line that suffered through a down year by Big Blue's standards last season. Patterson makes the move up the Jersey Turnpike and excited for a fresh start in New York.
"I mean the only thing that is different is it's just a new team," said Patterson. "I've played against these guys for so long I feel like I know them and everything. So I'm pretty excited about it. I feel very grateful and another opportunity for me to come out and play the game."
Patterson was hot in pursuit of quarterback Eli Manning during his playing days in the City of Brotherly, so he has a familiarity with the division and how to attack its opposing quarterbacks.
"I've been in the division ever since I've been in the league," noted Patterson. "As far as all the team wise I know what they like to run and stuff."
The Giants signed Patterson along with former Philadelphia teammate Cullen Jenkins to revamp a bruised and batter defensive front early in the offseason period. With a familiar face at his side, Patterson is making a smooth transition to his new team.
"Most definitely, we were connecting out there in Philly and stuff," said Patterson of the time he spent with Jenkins. "We got to know each other well in the two years we were there. He knows coach Nunn from Green Bay, he was kind of able to give me a heads up and how to approach things." Another player Patterson has leaned on for guidance is defensive captain Justin Tuck. Both he and Patterson were drafted in 2005 and they developed a great rapport in spite of their respective teams battling it out over the years.
"Especially coming out here, we came out the same year," said Patterson of his relationship with Tuck. "I kind of felt like I knew him personally. Seeing him across the way all the time. He has leadership, guys look up to him. I know if I have any questions about anything and if he doesn't have the answer he'll direct me to where I can get it."
Giants' general manager Jerry Reese set the tone for training camp, by posting a Super Bowl countdown clock at the Quest Diagnostics Performance Center as a reminder of the team's goal this upcoming season. Patterson thinks the Giants have as good a shot as any to make it to February's big game.
"All the way I believe," said Patterson on how far the Giants can go. "We have a lot of talent,not just upfront on the defensive line just across the team in general. We have a lot of guys that just want to go out and win."
During last summer's training camp with the Eagles, Patterson suffered a seizure on the practice field and was later diagnosed with the brain condition arteriovenous malformation (AVM), which is the tangling of blood vessels near the skull. He appeared in only five games last season and is looking to prove that he can still play at a high level in the NFL. <
"I want to be a productive guy," Patterson sad. "Go out and make some plays. Ever since I had my seizure people think that I can't go out there and play, so I just want to get rid of that stigma. I want people to know I can still go out there and play."

I was born in High Lane Brown Edge and lived there until 1963. I have lots of memories, everyone knew each other, they didn't need to lock the doors in fear of unwanted intruders, in fact during the war years neighbours became family. I had a fabulous childhood - times were spent in the fields playing ball games in the summer and sledging in the winter. We also had great neighbours in the Steele family, and spent a great deal of time with David and John who both became talented cricketers, it was nothing to have a cricket ball hit through my bedroom window on a Sunday morning, and I myself learned to deliver a 'Good Over', Mr Steele would be there coaching the boys and of course I too had to join in. In 1949 I was elected to be the Church Queen, then in the late 1950s with Edward Selby I started up the 1st Brown Edge Cubs, this was a great time and I remained with the group until leaving for South Wales in 1963. I have been back several times but the village has now altered so much, it's great to see that Keith's Store is still there. In my time Les Harrison had the butchers, Mr Garner had the other shop on High Lane, Sammy Turner's buses were well used, then there were the 3 pubs - Holly Bush, Lump of Coal and The Roe Buck, not bad for what was then a small village. Parents didn't have to worry about their children going to school, we all walked up St Anne's Vale. Mrs Powditch was Head Mistress of the Infants and Mr Fisher was the Head of the Junior School. The Reverend Ramsden was the Vicar, followed by the Reverend Attoe. My father was brought up at Annatts Farm with his grandparents and for years was known as 'Teddy Clarkson' (this being his grandparents' name) - I remember having quite a few problems convincing some of the 'old' villagers that in fact our surname was Wright. There were quite a few great characters in the village, Annie Proctor and her family at the farm, Tommy at the garage on Sytch Corner (I remember getting my first two-wheeler bike from him), and Mr Durber who lived on the other side of the road to me, he used to sit at the gate smoking his pipe, watching the world go by and having a word with all who passed his gate. Fond memories of my childhood in Brown Edge walking down with our bottle of water and sandwiches to Knypersley Pool at Easter time, running for your life if 'Bobby Evans' caught you doing something wrong. I really don't know how many of my friends are still in the village, but it was a great time, and one I would never change.

- 1 pound medium shrimp—shelled, deveined and finely chopped
- 1 large onion, coarsely grated
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Preheat the oven to 300°. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisk in the flour, water and salt until just blended; some lumps are fine. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the shrimp, onion and parsley.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil until shimmering. Drop 6 rounded tablespoons of the batter in the skillet and spread each mound into a 2 1/2-inch round. Fry the cakes over moderately high heat until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, then transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat if the cakes brown too quickly and adding the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet as needed. Rewarm the shrimp cakes in the oven and serve.

Why a new generation is flocking to the new Mercedes CLA-Class
A new generation of buyers has found out about the all-new 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and they like what they see. In April 2013, Mercedes-Benz introduced the new CLA compact luxury car with its four-door coupe styling, and buyers took notice. But these buyers are not the seasoned group the German automaker has typically attracted in the past. A new younger buyer that is over a decade younger, and many much younger than the median age of 57 for the brand, are buying the new CLA. How was Mercedes able to change gears so quickly?
It may look like like it happened overnight, but Mercedes had a plan and it's working well. Mercedes has a growth strategy that included appealing to a younger buyer who has never purchased a Mercedes car before. The CLA-Class is the third vehicle in the compact car family that Mercedes has launched. The CLA has a starting price of $29,900 and it's a big reason Mercedes is seeing the CLA selling extremely well.
In April 2013, Mercedes-Benz introduced the new CLA compact luxury car to the European market, and then launched the four-door coupe in the U.S. on September 20. The new stylish coupe has quickly become a top seller around the globe. In less than four months, over 12,000 CLAs were delivered to U.S. customers. Steve Cannon, head of Mercedes's U.S. sales said, "This is our best launch in 20 years. The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate."
Is it just price, or this there more that is appealing? It starts on the outside with the new coupe styling. Mercedes took the styling cues from the Concept Style Coupe that was first introduced at Pebble Beach. Mercedes knew it would be a big hit because of the response. The most frequent comment heard was, "please put this car into series production." And that's what Mercedes did and brought it into production.
The sleek styling of the CLA isn't just about good looks. A new generation of buyers want to know their cars are not polluting the environment. And the new CLA Class is one of the least polluting cars on the planet. It starts on the outside with the CLA Class leading the field in wind resistance. The new four-door coupe has a Cd value of 0.23, making it the most aerodynamic vehicle in the world. When it comes to the drag area the four-door coupe crosses a magical line with a figure of just 0.49.
Next comes the technology in the CLA that will keep a new generation connected. It starts with the Drive Kit Plus for the iPhone, together with the Digital DriveStyle app specially developed by Daimler, makes it possible to seamlessly integrate iPhones 4 and 4S in the CLA. This is what a new generation of buyers is looking for.

A system that uses a laser and electrical current to precisely position and align carbon nanotubes represents a potential new tool for creating electronic devices out of the tiny fibers.
Because carbon nanotubes have unique thermal and electrical properties, they may have future applications in electronic cooling and as devices in microchips, sensors and circuits. Being able to orient the carbon nanotubes in the same direction and precisely position them could allow these nanostructures to be used in such applications.
However, it is difficult to manipulate something so small that thousands of them would fit within the diameter of a single strand of hair, said Steven T. Wereley, a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University.
"One of the things we can do with this technique is assemble carbon nanotubes, put them where we want and make them into complicated structures," he said.
New findings from research led by Purdue doctoral student Avanish Mishra are detailed in a paper that has appeared online March 24 in the journal Microsystems and Nanoengineering, published by the Nature Publishing Group.
The technique, called rapid electrokinetic patterning (REP), uses two parallel electrodes made of indium tin oxide, a transparent and electrically conductive material. The nanotubes are arranged randomly while suspended in deionized water. Applying an electric field causes them to orient vertically. Then an infrared laser heats the fluid, producing a doughnut-shaped vortex of circulating liquid between the two electrodes. This vortex enables the researchers to move the nanotubes and reposition them.
"When we apply the electric field, they are immediately oriented vertically, and then when we apply the laser, it starts a vortex, that sweeps them into little nanotube forests," Wereley said.
The research paper was authored by Mishra; Purdue graduate student Katherine Clayton; University of Louisville student Vanessa Velasco; Stuart J. Williams, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Louisville and director of the Integrated Microfluidic Systems Laboratory; and Wereley. Williams is a former doctoral student at Purdue.
The technique overcomes limitations of other methods for manipulating particles measured on the scale of nanometers, or billionths of a meter. In this study, the procedure was used for multiwalled carbon nanotubes, which are rolled-up ultrathin sheets of carbon called graphene. However, according to the researchers, using this technique other nanoparticles such as nanowires and nanorods can be similarly positioned and fixed in vertical orientation.
The researchers have received a U.S. patent on the system.

LOS ANGELES -- USC coach Lane Kiffin doesn't take his own proclamations lightly, evidently.
Late last season, he said Marqise Lee had a chance to be the top receiver in school history, and he hasn't forgotten about it. So when he was asked after USC's Thursday practice about his plans to get Lee the ball this season, he quickly brought it up.
"If you're gonna make a statement that he may go down as the best receiver ever, you better make sure you put the ball in his hands," Kiffin said. "Ideally when we have really good players, we like them to touch the ball a lot.
He continued: "We're not a very good staff or a very good playcaller if he's not touching the ball."
Lee touched the ball a lot last season, with 73 catches, five rushes and 10 kick returns, but it's clear the Trojans have a lot more in store for him this season. Even with Robert Woods in the fold, he may end up being the focal point of the USC offense in 2012.
"I know it sounds pretty strong, but I think he was kinda dominating college football at the end of the year," Kiffin said. "You look at what he did against UCLA, he dominated the game, it was like a man playing amongst boys."
In November, Lee averaged almost 10 catches a game for more than 150 yards and 1.5 touchdowns. Those numbers were unmatched nationwide.
And, yet, Kiffin still says he thinks Lee can make a jump this year, much like the transition Woods made a year ago. He even pointed to Mike Williams' first-to-second-year jump as evidence Lee can get better.
Williams' numbers weren't that much better in Year 2 -- he had 10 more catches, 49 more yards and two touchdowns than he did in Year 1. But he was still a part of a national championship team as a sophomore, so that counts for something.
USC receivers coach Tee Martin said Lee's improvements have in part come because of Woods' offseason absence due to injury. With Woods out, it was Lee who attracted all the coaches' attention, and he embraced it.
"In a good way, when Robert was out, it allowed us to move Marqise to different positions and have him learn them," Martin said this week. "That helped him with his total understanding of everything."
Kiffin said he doesn't worry about his words affecting Lee's play. The sophomore is too focused on his play for that to be the case.
"He can handle it," Kiffin said. "I don't think you make statements like that if a kid has any question on his work ethic or you think it could go to his head.
"It doesn't. He's one of the hardest-working guys we've ever seen out here."

All her life, Hide had been committed to cricket, from her schooldays at Wycombe Abbey through her summers with Surrey and England, and into the later years when she served as selector, manager, broadcaster and administrator. Almost 60 years after her maiden Test appearance she was a guest of honour at Lord's when England's women cricketers won the 1993 World Cup.
She played in the first of all women's Test matches, at Brisbane in 1934- 35. Having made a century in the opening match, against Western Australia, she scored 110 at Christchurch when England sailed on to New Zealand for a further Test. In less than 21/2 hours, she and Betty Snowball (189) added 235 for the second wicket as England raced to a declared total of 503 for 5 in reply to the home side's 44. Victory by an innings gave English women's cricket a lift.
A drawn (1-1) series at home to Australia in 1937 further boosted the game, which then as now had many doubters among the chauvinists. Molly Hide was made captain that year, an appointment she graced for 17 years until her 1954 retirement. Her crucial 64 at The Oval steadied England in an unfinished match, her eight wickets for 58 in the Second Test, at Blackpool, helping England to victory. It was not only her classical batting which elevated her above the rest. Her uncompromising off-spin and competent fielding made her the complete all-rounder, even if she tended to underuse her bowling.
Even had the 1939-40 tour of Australia not been stopped by the onset of the Second World War, Hide would not have gone, for her father needed her on the farm, Lower Roundhurst, a 200-acre spread near Haslemere, in Surrey. She had completed her education with a diploma in agriculture at Reading University.
When international cricket was resumed with the 1948-49 tour of Australasia, Hide, now in her mid-thirties, was the natural choice as England captain. Having notched a century in Colombo on the voyage out, she made 51 in the drawn Melbourne Test before registering her outstanding performance, 63 in 21/4 hours coupled with a rain-interrupted, unbeaten 124 in the drawn Sydney Test, with an adoring Neville Cardus among the onlookers.
Australia won the series, having taken the opening Test at Adelaide, but Molly Hide's achievement earned her the distinction of a portrait hung in the hallowed precincts of the Sydney Cricket Ground pavilion, alongside the champions of men's cricket. In all matches on the tour she made over 1,100 runs, averaging 50.39, with five centuries. A further honour followed when she and Amy Bull sat on an MCC inquiry, the first women to sit on any committee at Lord's.
Missing the first two Tests when Australia came to Britain in 1951, Hide resumed as captain at The Oval and top-scored twice with 65 and 42. She also took 2 for 15 (Mary Duggan 5 for 30) as Australia were hustled out for 83 to give England a halved series.
Three years later, Hide's Test career closed with a 1-0 victory over the 1954 New Zealanders. She had never had the chance to tread the sacred Lord's turf, but in her 20 years of Test cricket she had made 872 charming runs (at an average of 36.33) and taken 36 wickets (15.25) and 10 catches.
Tall, calm and usually somewhat inscrutable, Molly Hide inspired awe in her team-mates. It is not far-fetched to compare her with Walter Hammond, who was England's most commanding male cricketer over much of the same period, or with Douglas Jardine, the sardonic skipper of the Bodyline campaign of 1932-33, though Hide never did anything that brought discredit upon the game.
Also a lacrosse international, this quintessential Englishwoman of her time was actually born in Shanghai. And, by way of further lustre and romance, let it not be forgotten that she, like all women cricketers to this day, was the complete amateur, though the class of her batting warranted rich reward.
Mary Edith (Molly) Hide, cricketer: born Shanghai 24 October 1913; died Milford, Surrey 10 September 1995.

Dear KLSD Families,
This is a reminder that on May 9, 2017, we will hold our second Learning Café for this school year. If you are not familiar with our Learning Cafés, they are opportunities for parents to hear from and engage with your children's teachers and administrators – to come together for an evening of conversation and learning around a particular topic. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DEADLINE FOR REGISTERING IS MONDAY, MAY 1.
In the fall, we hosted a Learning Café on the topic of our Katonah-Lewisboro Learning Commitment – an aspirational statement intended to define the type of learning environment we believe will be most meaningful, supportive, and relevant to our students now and into the future. You can find the text of our Learning Commitment HERE.
Because the Commitment is so important to our work, and because attendance at our fall Learning Café was light, we have decided to keep the same topic for our spring Café. Among other things, the night is highlighted by a panel of teachers speaking about their classroom work in context of the Commitment.
We do ask that you register in advance for this event, so that we can plan accordingly for the number of participants. When you register, you will be asked to share ideas or questions you would like us to consider for the evening.
Registration details are available here: https://learningcafemay2017.eventbrite.com

Park bench built for two
How odd
I sit and wait for you.
I know you won't come
You never do
But, I'll sit and wait
and hope
today is the day you do.
Sounds silly when I say it out loud
"Just once I'd like to not see your face in a crowd."
I can envision you anywhere
I can envision you with anyone.
It's seeing you with me ~
That's the key!
I hear your laughter and I have to look
Sadly, it wasn't you.
I smell your cologne and I try to follow the scent
It leads me somewhere I've never been.
I read a sign that reminds me of you
Crazy, everything brings me to you ~
but you.
Did you have to go?
I've wished you back a million times
Then I read the note
I've held onto so long ~
"Taken too soon but never forgotten"
That's still as far as I've gotten.

Justin Bieber: No Grammys, no worries
By Dean Goodman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber was too busy arranging a Paris rendezvous with his mentor, R&B star Usher, to worry too much about leaving the Grammy Awards empty-handed on Sunday.
The 16-year-old pop phenomenon was considered a strong contender for the coveted best new artist category, and was also nominated for best pop vocal album.
But he was beaten up by a pair of glamorous women. Esperanza Spalding, a 26-year-old jazz virtuoso with a large Afro hairstyle, was the shock winner of best new artist.
And flamboyant pop singer Lady Gaga's haul of three statuettes included best pop vocal album.
Bieber's fans, accounting for a sizable percentage of excitable young girls around the planet, vented their anger on Twitter -- the social-networking Web site that helped turn him into a superstar in barely a year.
He came backstage to speak with reporters, an uncustomary move for losing acts, to indicate that he would survive the setback. In fact, he made a grand entrance by jumping on the back of Usher, who seemed more disappointed than Bieber.

NELSON, New Zealand (AFP) – Ireland caused the first upset of the World Cup when an audacious 92 by Paul Stirling paved the way for a four-wicket win over the West Indies at Nelson's Saxton Oval on Monday.
Stirling stood in a match-defining 106-run stand with Ed Joyce for the second wicket as Ireland chased down a 305-run target with 25 balls to spare.
Stirling cracked his 92 off 84 balls, Joyce scored 84 off 67 and Niall O'Brien chimed in with an unbeaten 79 off 60 deliveries.
It was Ireland's first win over the West Indies in six official matches and the first victory at this World Cup achieved by a team batting second.
The 12th-ranked Irish paid scant regard to the high-profile West Indians and enhanced their own reputation as giant-killers after beating other top-tier nations England and Pakistan in the previous two World Cups.
The victorious finish was a fitting reward for their spirited start to the match when they opted to bowl and rapidly reduced the West Indies to 87-5.
"It's fantastic to win. This sets us up nicely for the next few games," said Ireland skipper William Porterfield.
"The belief has been growing within the squad for a long time and we know what we are capable of, not just in this game but the other games in the competition as well."
West Indies skipper Jason Holder admitted that his team's total of 304 should have been enough.
"It was a tough loss and obviously putting up 300 should have been enough, but it wasn't today," said the 23-year-old.
"I think we just need to be a bit more precise when we set fields. We are just giving away too many boundaries during the middle overs."
The victory will have boosted Ireland's hopes of being one of the four teams to make the quarter-finals from a group that also contains defending champions India, South Africa and Pakistan.
West Indies star Chris Gayle again failed to fire as spinner George Dockrell carved through the upper order before a dashing century by Lendl Simmons and a personal-best 89 from Darren Sammy put some backbone into the Caribbean side's innings.
Their power batting lifted the West Indies to what should have been a respectable 304 but they lacked the discipline in their bowling to defend the total.
Holder opened with a first ball that raced wide of slips to the boundary to give Ireland an immediate five runs from extras which started Stirling and Porterfield on their way to a 71-run first wicket stand.
With Porterfield's dismissal for 23, the left-handed Joyce joined right-hander Stirling to continue piling on the pressure.

It's almost Christmas. I know that because the calendar tells me so. Otherwise, the day might come and go without my noticing. Know why? Yes, besides my head being up my ass – There is a serious lacking in the holiday cheer department this year. Where's the festive vibe? The good will toward men? I look down my street and there are no Christmas lights up. My husband and I went shopping this weekend for log furniture, toys, clothes, and dog food. That's a wide variety of things and stores. And you know what? There was no Christmas music playing!
I get it. Money's tight. News is bleak. Our cities are being run by emergency managers. It's hard to find the joy when it seems like everywhere you look there is an obstacle. That's why it's so important to put up the freakin' Christmas lights. So that when you wake up in the morning you're greeted with Christmas spirit blinking outside your front porch. And as you leave in the morning and return from work at night, thoughts of credit card bills and furnaces going on the fritz are softened by giant yard snowmen and nativity scenes. You NEED good things to counter the bad things. Sometimes it's hard to flip the switch in your mind and do a positive counter point. Holiday decorations flip the switch for you. You see them – you feel warm and fuzzy. So quit being a turd and hang up something that sparkles or jingles. Right now. Then come back.
I am just going to say it. We have become a collective Scrooge – Grinch – Burger Meister. All I can hear, inside my head and out among the masses, is how expensive everything is. How there was no time to put up Christmas lights and what a pain it is to take them down anyway. People who are experiencing tougher times than normal are consumed by that one fact. People who are doing well are validated by the money they are bringing in and feeling superior about it. Where's the good will toward men in that?
I think my biggest beef right now is the Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays war. I'mma break it down for you right here. The holiday season spans from Thanksgiving through the new year. Christmas is A DAY. One day. We can stretch it to two days because we often celebrate Christmas Eve. When I say "Happy Holidays" on November 29th, I am not cutting Christ out of Christmas or catering to non Christian groups. I am hoping that you and yours will enjoy the whole season. I hope you eat lots of good food, get to enjoy time with your family, celebrate the year passing and get a good start on the new one. If I see you just before Christmas, at a Christmas party, or on Christmas day, I will say, "Merry Christmas." Kapish?
Are there people trying to hijack the season? Highlight their own religion and customs? Create a more generic holiday scene? Probably. But mostly, people are just trying to be nice and spread good cheer. Think about this – what have you heard more in the last couple of months? People complaining about the verbage – "Merry Christmas" vs. "Happy New Year" OR actual Christmas tidings? I will answer for you that I have over heard a bajillion conversations and seen countless social media posts bitching about reserving the right to say "Merry Christmas" and about 5 actual season's greetings. Think about that.
And don't get me started on the billboards of Jesus saying, "I miss hearing you say MERRY CHRISTMAS." That is SO stupid. As if our increasing commercialization of the day and gross obsession with money and material things at Christmas time was okay with Him as long as we said, "Merry Christmas."
It's true. People are not saying "Merry Christmas." But they're also not saying "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings" either. Their Christmas Spirit is kaput! But so is their Holiday Spirit! They're exhausted, beat up, stressed out, and focused on all the wrong things.
Here's an idea. Instead of bitching about the way someone ELSE celebrates the season and spreads their cheer – why not simply appreciate what they have offered you. And then offer some in return. Maybe even offer some forward.

Prologue, Part Two: The XTC of GoldMature
The shadow of her brush pauses along the rungs of the ladder, the thin stick of darkness breaking in half-radials along each step- it reminds him of the opening fan before a red and black dance.
A movement, above, after the brush has retracted, a careful withdrawal, a swipe.
The glint retreats a little, slower to call his attention now, slower to breathe in the light.
Koschei looks up, his hand quivering over his face, in case the glint returns.
Flamina calls down, her voice sudden and coiffured as she answers him. She doesn't see him grab the ladder and start up.
"It's nothing. Something I couldn't save. Just a bit of foil decoration on the ceiling. Faded. I'm covering it over and replacing it from memory. Don't look at it yet till I'm done. I'll let you know when I've-"
He grabs a rung, halfway up. The rough wood is cold, like old windowsills after a long rain. He feels his shoulders quiver a little, and takes another step up, reaching for the next rung. But the glint breaks his focus on the climb, and he stops.
Then his eyes widen, and he looks at the floor.
The clean marble slides like glass under the old wooden ladder, interrupted only by the occasional sweep of air. There is a clear disruption in the entry area from which he came, but the dust layer leading into the hall shows only one pair of shoes.
He looks again toward the high ceiling and his lover, and begins his climb again, opening his eyes on the fresco and her hand poised below the white and the gold.

Marfan's Syndrome
By Zishan Quader
Some of the following symptoms are:
I. Skeletal symptoms
Long slender and loose jointed bones
Indentation of the sternum and scoliosis
II. Optical symptoms
Dislocation of eye lenses and blurred vision
III. Cardiovascular symptoms
Abnormal valve movement when heart beats
Aortic Dilation, the stretching of the aorta
IV. Neurological symptoms
Dural Ectasia, when the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord stretches and wears away the backbone
V. Respiratory symptoms
Early emphysema
Snoring and collapsing of the lungs
Marfan syndrome is caused by a defect(mutation) in the gene that determines the structure of fibrillin, a protein that is an important part of connective tissue.
Although everyone with Marfan syndrome has a defect in the same gene, the mutation is specific to each family and not everyone experiences the same characteristics to the same degree.
There is no cure for Marfan syndrome. To develop one, scientists may have to identify and change the specific gene responsible for the disorder before birth.
The only treatment option available is to have regular checkups with doctors that specialize with the body systems being affected.
The Marfan syndrome affects men, women and children, and has been found among people of all races and ethnic backgrounds. It is estimated that at least 1 in 5,000 people in the United States have the disorder.
Societal Issues
The outlook of Marfan syndrome has recently improved. Early diagnosis and advances in medical technology have enhanced the quality of life for people with the Marfan syndrome and lengthened their lifespan. Doctors can now identify early risk factors which can help prevent or delay complications.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Post-Trip Reports › Snowshoeing Mammoth report
Mar 20, 2012 at 5:04 pm #1287545
Well, here is my post trip report (gear test) for my first winter camping experience. Refer to this thread:
My plan was to snowshoe from the Mammoth Mountain Inn (at the base of the ski slopes), up the road (closed for winter), towards Devil's Postpile Nat. Monument, and then north along the ridge towards San Joaquin Mountain. That plan did not come to pass, due to weather conditions. The two days before my arrival, and the first day I was there, Mammoth got dumped on. Words can hardly do it justice, so let me explain it this way. I saw a snomobiler who had gone a few feet off the road and buried his vehicle. When I put on my snowshoes (rated up to 250 lbs), with no pack (I weigh 170ish), I sunk to my thighs even with the snowshoes on. Hiking for 3 1/2 miles with a 45 pound pack and 4 feet deep powder just wasn't going to happen. Haha
So instead, I found a spot in the woods off of Hwy 203 (the scenic bypass leading from Mammoth north towards June Lake), where the snow was not as deep. I just went back far enough in from the road not to attract attention (the green tent was handy in this regard).
So in the end, it was a great, easy experience as far as lessons learned and what worked and what didn't. Elevation was roughly 8,200 feet, nightime temps were 21* F, and no wind. Here's what worked:
The two sleeping pads that I was told were a common combination for cold weather camping worked great (plus I already owned both, which made it nice). I used the normal Therm-a-Rest inflatable pad on the bottom and the Thermarest RidgeRest on top. I felt the heat from the pads the entire time. The system worked great.
My new Hilleberg "Tarra" tent. To say that I'm in love with my new tent would be putting it mildly. At 9 pounds, and about 8" by 20" packed size, it is a beast for backpacking, but I knew that when I bought it. It will be my go to tent for motorcycle touring, family camping, and winter camping. I'll use something smaller and lighter for true backpacking. The green color blended in great against the pines, and the yellow interior was bright, roomy, and very livable. The whole tent just oozes quality.
The Grivel Air Tech Evo ice axe/ hammer. A lightweight tool, with a T-rated shaft, this is my new mountaineering tool. Do I really need it? Probably not, but then again it is cool and I've always wanted an ice axe, so I talked myself into buying one. Primarily, I thought it would come in handy as a lightweight hammer for pounding stakes into hard ground in warmer weather. But I've got to say, it was worth it's weight in gold when it came time to dig my snow stakes (set deadman style) out after they'd become buried in rock hard snow the next morning.
What didn't work was my lighter. I've always been a believer in bringing two types of ignition source. Thank goodness I did. The butane lighter didn't work after repeated attempts, even after warming in my pocket. Luckily, I had my back-up magnesium block and flint firestarter which fired my stove up instantly.
My 0*F sleeping bag, a Kifaru "Slick" bag, was about as I expected, so I shouldn't really blame the bag. I've always been a very cold sleeper, so I bought the 0* bag in hopes that I would be comfortable to about freezing. It likely would have worked fine at that temperature, but at 20* I was a bit chilly. And this was inspite of wearing thermals, regular clothes, and even my ArcTeryx softshell inside it.
As more comes to mind, I'll add it to the review, but that's it for now. I'll throw in a couple pictures for fun:

Thanks Doug. I managaed a short bp trip from my place, a few mile trip with a few inches of snow overnight. You did good, close to a bail out and learned stuff. What stove did you use? I did not recognize the model tent you have, must be because I only look at solo tents and LIGHT ones. :)

Paul McLaughlinBPL Member
Doug – excellent judgement call. Sounds like you learned the most important lesson of all – when to back off in the face of conditions.
I'm curious about your lighter – I've always used BIC lighters and never had one fail (not after warming it in my pocket, anyway). What brand was yours?Mar 21, 2012 at 12:45 am #1856985
Duane, sounds like your hike went good as well, glad to hear it. The Tarra is one of Hilleberg's 2 person tents, although it could hold three in a pinch. It is in their heavier line, and a hybrid dome/ tunnel design. This gives it a very roomy interior for it's floor area space. As for my stove, I used my MSR Whisperlite Universal, with the gas cannisters. I had an almost empty SnowPeak cannister and a full MSR cannister. At 20*, the cannisters still worked OK, although I did have to turn the Snow Peak one upside down when it got low and began to freeze. I melted snow for our drinking water as well as the Mountain House meals and hot chocolate.
Paul, my lighter is just a cheapo one from a gas station, with the clear sides so you can see how much fuel is remaining. I did drop it in the snow, so that could have had something to do with it not starting, although I did clear all the snow out of the workings and tried it after a good solid hour or so of being in my inside jacket pocket. Still no go. Thankfully the flint and my pocket knife worked great. I just turned on the gas, and within 3 or 4 sparks the stove fired right up. I fiddled around with an Esbit stove that I also brought with me. The sparks alone were not enough to light the Esbit fuel cube. I think if I'd taken the time to shave some magnesium on top of the fuel tab it might have worked OK.Mar 21, 2012 at 3:02 am #1856993

Good idea to choose locations where an easy bailout is possible whenever you start learning to deal with much harsher environments.
Being chilled at 20F wearing clothing in a 0F rated bag seems odd … sets a high standard for the term "cold sleeper". Your pads were definitely all right. I'd be inclined to question the bag's rating, it takes a LOT of Climashield Combat to make a good bag for 0F. But it's worth examining other factors too. Were the clothes dry? Evaporating water from clothing drains a lot of heat. How about the caloric content of the food you ate that day?Mar 21, 2012 at 4:26 am #1856997

That has to be some of the worst snow conditions to shoeshoe in. Not enough snow to have complete solid coverage over logs, bushes etc but some exhausting lokking drifts. You will have to give this another try when there are more typical snow conditions.
Sounds like a great trip. Poochie seems to be a happy pup.Mar 21, 2012 at 5:53 am #1857020
Sounds like the guy on the snowmobile didn't know how his sled would do in such deep and fresh snow. So you have the new MSR stove, I collect the old ones, they are very enjoyable. Your tent did look pretty spacious and the dog looked tired already.
DuaneMar 21, 2012 at 8:12 am #1857072
Greg, I'm afraid those last two photos were misleading as far as the snow conditions. They were scenic shots I took, and at about 1,900 feet lower elevation then where I went snowshoeing (plus a very warm day later). This is where I actually went…
…it was very even, with probably at least 4 feet of fresh powder over who knows how many feet of base layer snow. No bushes, boulders, or fallen logs were visible. But to be honest, I think the snow in those two photos would actually have been easier. I was literally sinking almost waist deep with each step.
Jim, I've always slept cold with my bags. My previous bag was a Wiggy's mummy that was rated to 40 degrees (or very near). I typically have to add at least 20 degrees to the temp rating for me to be comfortable. If I understand correctly (and don't quote me on this), Kifaru uses a layer of climashield combat for each 20 degrees below 40*. In other words, their 40 degree bag uses 1 layer, their 20* bag uses 2 layers, and the zero degree bag uses 3, etc. on down the line.Mar 21, 2012 at 5:07 pm #1857318
Well, snow conditions were finally such that I was able to hike the road to Agnew Meadows as far as Minaret overlook. All I can say is WOW! The scenery looking over the San Joaquin river valley was incredible! Looking up towards Garnet and Thousand Island lake, I could hardly resist the wanderlust. It was a beautiful day, mid 50's, with hardly a breeze. Anyways, here are a few pictures of the area.

Those photos look great, love all the snow. Doug, I like to visit that area in early Oct., not many folks out. Between Silver Lake and Devils Post Pile area, I've seen 6-10 people in the first 4 days or so of a solo trip and they were seen in a couple groups was all. After that, no one.

Fall is a great time for the area.
I don't often venture into the Sierra before late September. I don't like to/can't plan trips far ahead which makes dealing with permits tough. So instead, I visit in the fall so I can just drop in without any hassles.
I did a trip starting from Devil's Postpile and coming out via Duck Pass the last weekend of October last year. Saw only one other person, at Iva Bell Hot Springs, over the course of the three day trip until we got over Duck Pass and ran into various day hikers around Skelton Lake.
Fall runs the risk of early season storms but it also ensures solitude.Mar 21, 2012 at 7:12 pm #1857406
Duane and Nicholas, fall was sort of my plan. I'd love to see the area with the aspen leaves changing. In particular I thought the hike to Parker Lake would be awesome because of all the aspen groves in the area.Mar 21, 2012 at 8:47 pm #1857473
Doug, unfortunately, of the last four years I have cut short or went to Plan B because of snow. Used to be able to plan a trip the first week of Oct. with no issues, although a trip to Yosemite three years ago had me bping in 4" of snow Part of the second day in my shorts. I ate dinner that night sitting in my sleeping bag, warming up. Found a clear spot under a tree by Sunrise Lakes for my second night out, doing a version of the High Sierra Camp loop. The third day was what we bp for, a really nice day, shorts and T-shirt weather in the afternoon. I came back one year to my car that had a flyer on the windshield, stating Tioga Pass was closed, but since I had been out five days, the snow had melted, so no issues going home up 395. Just the days are so much shorter by then.

Do you have a favorite youtube or streamer? Can you reach out to them? Maybe we should compile a list. Here's who I've contacted. I haven't heard back from anyone except Lord Minion, but he's having computer issues, so I'm not sure when he'll be able to do a demo:
- Lord Minion
- Markiplier
- PewDiePie
- Dodger
- Lord Minion
- Best Friends Play
If you have favorites, can you pass them the link? Can you request it via twitter? We are off to a strong start, but I think the streamers will go a long way to making this project happen!
Thanks everyone!

TAKING CARE; Cold Relievers
Published: September 27, 1987
(Page 2 of 2)
EXPECTORANTS supposedly ease coughing by loosening mucous. However, the review panel has so far deemed evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of expectorants, including the widely used guaifenesin, to be insufficient. Many doctors still recommend drinking warm liquids and keeping the air moist with a humidifier or vaporizer as better ways of relieving coughs and congestion.
While the debate over cold medications continues, a good number of people are relying on ''natural'' remedies, such as zinc gluconate and high doses of vitamin C, both of which are no less controversial than some over-the-counter drugs. Although the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a trade association, reports that no cases of kidney stones - widely predicted as the most serious consequence of overdosing on vitamin C -have been related to the vitamin in the medical literature, most doctors feel that the lack of evidence demonstrating the vitamin's cold-fighting properties argues against its use. According to Dr. Thomas C. Chalmers, who holds the title distinguished physician at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Boston, studies that have explored whether high doses of vitamin C can either prevent or shorten the duration of a cold ''all show the same thing: occasional mild relief of symptoms with ascorbic acid, but no evidence of the prevention of colds.'' Even Dr. Linus Pauling, who inspired the vitamin C craze with his 1970 book, ''Vitamin C and the Common Cold,'' feels a cold coming on a couple of times a year - although he always manages to thwart it by stepping up his usual 18,000 milligrams a day to 60,000. None of the published research has studied the effects of the high doses he now recommends.
Zinc gluconate hit the media as a cold stopper in 1984, when a study by George Eby, who holds the patent on zinc gluconate as a cold remedy, found that colds lasted only 3.9 days for those who were taking zinc tablets and 10.8 days for those on a placebo. Further research has yielded mixed results. Dr. Gwaltney, for example, found that while zinc had no effect on colds, half the participants in a study he recently co-authored had a sore mouth from sucking the tablets and a third an upset stomach. But one of the most recent studies, conducted by the British Medical Research Council's Common Cold Unit, found zine gluconate did reduce cold symptoms by at least one-fourth without significant side effects.
Mr. Eby says researchers who find that zinc has no effect on colds often mix it with substances such as citric acid that make the obnoxious taste more acceptable - but prevent the zinc from being absorbed. ''The citric acid used in the American studies ties up the metal so tightly that it is not available,'' says Mr. Eby. ''It's like trying to take a pill while it's still in the wrapper.'' People can buy pure zinc gluconate in health food stores, but they should never take high doses of it for more than seven days, since long-term use can adversely affect cholesterol levels.
At present, the effectiveness of zinc gluconate is dependent upon sucking a tablet containing 23 milligrams of zinc for at least 10 minutes every two hours. This is somewhat akin to sucking a stone so ghastly in taste that many who have tried it say they would rather have a cold. SAFE FOR CHILDREN?
WHENEVER YOU CATCH A COLD YOU DE-velop an immunity to that particular cold virus, which may be why children have nearly three times as many colds as adults. Yet most over-the-counter drugs developed prior to 1962, many of which are still marketed today, were not tested on children for safety or effectiveness, according to Dr. William E. Gilbertson, a pharmacologist and director of the F.D.A.'s review of such drugs. The dosages for children listed on labels, he explains, are based primarily on pediatricians' experiences with patients.
Because the side effects of cold remedies can be more severe in children, pediatricians are cautious about recommending either prescription or over-the-counter preparations. ''If we had clear-cut evidence that they really made children feel better, or shortened their colds, then we'd be more willing to risk side effects,'' says Dr. Ruth E.K. Stein, professor of pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
Decongestants may dry secretions to the extent that they block the nasal passages of very young children; they can also make a child irritable. ''They are very similar to speed,'' says Dr. Gunnar Stickler, a pediatrician at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Children don't all react in the same manner to combination medications containing both an antihistamine and a decongestant. ''Some go through the roof,'' says Dr. Heinz Eichenwald, professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas and editor of the journal Pediatric Infectious Disease. ''Others go to sleep and don't wake up for 24 hours.'' Expectorants such as guaifenesin are placebos, Dr. Eichenwald adds, and cough suppresants, though effective, should generally not be given to children. ''Coughing is not a disease,'' he says. ''It's a protective mechanism that keeps secretions from getting into the lungs.''
To ease coughs and congestion, Dr. Eichenwald advises taking your child into the bathroom, turning on all the hot water faucets and staying there until you can't stand it any longer. He recommends saline nose drops to treat a very young child who is having trouble breathing. Nose drops containing a diluted decongestant ( 1/8 of 1 percent) can be given to older children. Acetaminophen should be used only if a child complains of aches and pains or has a temperature above 102 degrees. ''You certainly don't use antibiotics or analgesics like Tylenol in a kid simply because he has a cold,'' Dr. Eichenwald says. ''You give analgesics only if he seems to be suffering -not if you seem to be suffering.''
