Mount Shasta Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Route Climbed: Casaval Ridge Date Climbed: 04/15/01
|On Saturday afternoon we drove up from sea level to bunny flat. I got up at 4:45 on Sunday after a long night of not sleeping because my climbing partner, Slavedriver needed to sleep with the clock (in the car), and I had to sleep on the parking lot at bunny flat. (I used to be able to sleep on such surfaces but found out that is not longer the case). We started the climb at 5:00, and I followed in his postholes. The snow didn't slow him down much, and I thought I was moving quickly considering the condition, but was definitely not matching The Slavedriver's breakneck speed. We went a little ways up towards Avalanchce Gulch, and then went up one of the windows to Casaval Ridge at around sunrise, when we put on crampons. Here I was warned that "If 'we' don't speed up, 'we're' not going to make it", even though my heart was going at about 170bpm. I got slower and slower as we kept going, I think not taking time to eat was detrimental (Slavedriver wouldn't let me, and the guy had an ice axe). We passed these people camping and the guy was like "Oh, we're staying here another night, no sense rushing it." That made a lot of sense to me. At around 12000 feet I was stopping every 100 feet for short recoveries and kept falling asleep (I am just a Silicon Valley Sally, what do you expect?). Slavedriver was getting pissed, but he was still pretty cordial, only yelling at me occassionally. I was exhausted, but I was not getting a headache due to my steady diet of Ibuprofen. Somewhere we hit a 15 foot 5.5 climb, and that woke me up, since I was unroped and not quite sure how far I'd slide down the mountain after a fall (It was actually safe, I was just too groggy to realize it). After that I was much more energetic and the climb was easy, what I remember of it. I remember the summit was damn windy, that's for sure. We might have summited around 3:00. I would not advise doing Casaval Ridge in one day unless you are in shape. Especially if you are with The Slavedriver.

|Route Climbed: Casaval Ridge Date Climbed: April 15, 2001
|Single day ascent with Ryle. 80+ mph winds in places. Forgot sunscreen. Face is not happy.
|Posted Apr 16, 2001 12:06 pm
|Route Climbed: Route 1 - Avalanche Gulch Date Climbed: June 25, 2000
|Summited on a beautiful day around 10:30 AM. Conditions were perfect. I recommend taking a basic snow school with one of the local guide services. Mount Shasta is a great introduction to mountaineering.
|Posted Apr 11, 2001 8:39 pm
|Route Climbed: Avalanch Gulch Date Climbed: June 1998
|My first summit of Mt, Shasta was in June of 1998. I love this mountain. I've been back several times and summited three times, all solo. As long as I am able to climb I will return to try the many diverse routes. Green Butte/Sargents Ridge and Casaval Ridge are both outstanding and have been two of my most memorable climbs.
|Posted Mar 23, 2001 9:42 pm
|Route Climbed: Avalanche Gulch Date Climbed: May 1999, and August 200
|My May 1999 climb was my first time up Shasta, and it was by myself. I started hiking at 3:05 am from the Bunny Flat parking lot, and to my frustration, the snow at the lower elevations had not frozen solid during the night. This made for an unpleasant hour of postholing. Finally, at about 9,000 ft, I reached firm snow. At 7:50, I reached the summit, snapped a few photos, then began the long descent. I got back to my car at 9:59 am.
My August, 2000 climb was with two other people. Ryle and I reached the summit without any trouble. The other guy we were with didn't do so well.

Phil Charters
Born Out Of Time - Poem by Phil Charters
Down, down
In a trough of despair
Eyes glazed, open
With ne'er a care
Dreaming, scheming
His soul not at home
Windjamming days
An ocean to roam
Gallant, yet crude
The sailor, the ship
One checked by the wind
The other, the whip
Longing for solace
In the arms of a wench
Breaking her heart
Her blue eyes do drench
With tears, so long
Forever, no more
He'll lust her or love her,
He sails, a far distant shore
Where musket and cutlass,
Keep the natives at bay
His wit and his guile
His bravery holds sway
Defended admirably
The captain relieved
Rewards him, a girl
Big bosomed, beautiful
To partake of his seed
Lust rides motion,
A lifetime at sea
Excitement or love,
Ever so near
Over the next wave,
To live or to die
But n'er a slave.
Always a story
Be it true or a tale
Escaping from savages,
Sunk by a whale
Exotic, erotic,
Does it matter at all?
When memories like shards,
Scatter and fall,
Through eyes despairing,
Riven from soul,
Piercing flesh, a moment
Tapping the keyboard,
Born out of time.

A classic camping error is remembering to bring a torch, but forgetting to pack spare batteries to power it.
That's not an issue with Freeplay's Mini, a camping lantern that runs off elbow grease. It's ideal for cooking by, lighting up a table for civilised al fresco dining or hanging from the roof of a tent.
Not so dim
The Freeplay looks like a mini version of an old fashioned miner's lamp. There are four LED's around the top on a dimmer switch that goes from a gentle 'night-light' to an impressive glare that is more than enough to light up a tent or a night–time picnic table.
A fifth LED sits just above the switches, angled down to put a pin-point light onto a table or as a torch beam when hand held.
A wind up
Wind the handle for one minute and that will boost the battery to provide two hours of light on the lowest setting. It's not easy, though – more like a hardcore work-out than a wind up – but could at least save you some gym fees.
There's a small green LED that comes on when you're turning at the right speed to charge. The handle can be wound in either direction so is ideal for both right- and left-handed people and stows neatly when not needed.
Plug-in power
Cranking the handle isn't the only way to fire it up. The battery can be plugged into the mains to give it a full charge before a camping trip and then topped up with a handle twist if it runs low once you are under canvas.
A full battery charge takes eight hours and will give around 100 hours of 'night light' and nearly eight hours on brighter setting.
Up standing
Build quality is very good, with the body constructed from a tough plastic. It's stable when sat on a surface and there's a wire carry handle that doubles as a hang-hook.
A big, rubber-covered button toggles the spotlight on and off, while a thumb roller switch operates the main lantern.
Green gauge
It's this switch that's the clever one. As you turn it on the switch glows green – the more you roll it the more powerful the main light shines, but also the more juice you are draining from the battery.
To warn when you are sucking out more than the optimum for long battery life, that clever little roller switch glows from green, through amber to red.

LOCAL BRIEFS: HRC and LULAC hold Cinco de Mayo
The Human Rights Campaign will partner with the local LGBT chapter of LULAC — The Dallas Rainbow Council to celebrate Cinco De Mayo.
The annual Salsa Cocktails event —featuring dancers, food and high-energy music — takes place at Havana, 4006 Cedar Springs Road, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 5.
"We have already confirmed Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez as one of our speakers," said Kimberly Williams, HRC event coordinator. "Our dance group will also offer free salsa dance lessons for our guests."
HRC and LULAC will talk about recent national and local successes. The public is invited to attend. The event is free, although a $20 donation to HRC at the door will get two free cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.
"Both HRC and LULAC will have information about membership and ways to get active," said Jesse Garcia, president of LULAC 4871. "We have great projects coming up this summer. We invite community members ready to get involved to come learn about opportunities to further equality."
Sheriff Lupe Valdez, a Democrat, on why she's going to the Log Cabin Republicans Convention
The Log Cabin Republicans will hold their National Convention in Dallas this coming weekend, and we'll have a full story in Friday's print edition. But because the convention actually begins Thursday, we figured we'd go ahead and post the full program sent out by the group earlier this week.
Perhaps the biggest surprise on the program is a scheduled appearance by gay Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez, who is of course a Democrat.
Valdez, who'll be one of the featured speakers at a Saturday luncheon, contacted us this week to explain her decision to accept the invitation from Log Cabin (not that we necessarily felt it warranted an explanation). Here's what she said:
"We have more things in common than we have differences, but it seems like in politics we constantly dwell on our differences," Valdez said. "If we continue to dwell on our differences, all we're going to do is fight. If we try to work on our common issues, we'll be able to accomplish some things."
On that note, below is the full program. For more information or to register, go here.
Tuna fresh
New sets, new costumes but same classic cast as 'Tuna Christmas' rings in the new year in North Texas. So what is life like there in a post-DADT world?
ARNOLD WAYNE JONES | email@example.com
Eisemann Center,
2351 Performance Drive, Richardson. Dec. 28–Jan 2. $29–$59.
It's not that Jaston Williams dislikes Christmas — it's that growing up, it wasn't exactly The Brady Bunch Holiday Special.
"We always called Christmas 'blood and holly' around my house," Williams cracks with his signature Texas twang. "My mother could really make it rough. When there was company or a party you'd go from this loose experience to Franco's Spain in a second. I figured it out by the time I was a teenager that I wasn't wild about this holiday at all. This whole nostalgic, let's-go-home-for-Christmas thing? Nah. Give me a good hotel with an open restaurant and room service anytime."
Still, the holiday has been pretty good to Williams. With his writing, acting and now producing partner Joe Sears, Williams is enjoying more than 20 years of steady winter employment with A Tuna Christmas, which returns to the Eisemann Center for a week-long run Tuesday. The first sequel to their hit play Greater Tuna (nearing its 30th anniversary), it's the only one of the shows to have a run on Broadway (earning a Tony nomination) and has been a staple of the season.
If you haven't seen it (what's wrong with you?), it tracks life in a tiny Texas town on Christmas Eve as the quirky residents (all played by Williams and Sears) reinforce and undermine stereotypes about small-town attitudes. And even at its age, it still seems fresh.
"We wrote is as Reagan had just come into power — that's how old we are," Williams recalls of the original play. "It was in response to the Moral Majority and their idiotic notions" — and Tea Partiers aren't far removed from that. And contrary to popular opinion, they do not update the script.
"People constantly say, 'You've added so much!'" Williams says. "I don't even deny it anymore. Especially with Tuna Christmas we're trying not to change things — though God help you if your cell phone goes off with Dede onstage. It'll be like being locked in a phone booth with Patti LuPone.
"The temptation to comment on what's going on today is so strong that if we started we'd never stop. So it's set in time. No one in Tuna has a computer; they still have cords on the phones. And no one tweets — they'll fine you. Vera has banned the word. It sounds dirty enough to ban."
None of which is to say the show doesn't get a makeover every so often. The duo still rehearses regularly, tweaking bits and polishing moments, and the current production features all-new sets and costumes.
"Joe and I are producing it ourselves now," says Williams. "All these people who produce theater and want people to think it's really, really hard so they won't do it. But it was kinda like being in the Mafia. You think, 'I've been watching this jerk kill people for 15 years — why can't I do it?' We've scaled it down and made it better. I'm very proud of it."
Williams himself is closer to living the Tuna experience than ever — though its different in many ways to the one imagined 30 years ago. He and his partner, Kevin, moved with their adopted teenaged son to the little burg of Lockhart, Texas, and are proud to see the culture developing.
"One thing I can say about small-town people is, they believe their lyin' eyes: They see two men raising a child and taking out the trash and they are changing their attitudes [about gay people]. It's pretty amazing."
(Williams is tickled as most gays are "don't ask, don't tell" was repealed, though, and thinks it was dumb to enact in the first place: "I was in the gay bars in the '70s. You get the right lesbian pissed off with weapons and they're gonna take some territory. The ones who should really be afraid of gays in the military are our enemies.")
The guys are off from performing Dec. 24 and 25, but will be doing a New Year's Eve performance in Richardson, which Williams calls "one of the stranger nights of the year to perform, You really want to do a good show but it's such a bizarre holiday. People feel obligated to have some transformative experience and they know they aren't going to." Though if they go to Tuna, they just might.
Merry Christmas, Jaston.
"And a Merry Tyler Moore to you, too," he answers.

Dallas could elect 1st gay judge
Judicial candidates John Loza, Tonya Parker among 4 LGBTs running in local races in 2010
Dallas County has had its share of openly gay elected officials, from Sheriff Lupe Valdez to District Clerk Gary Fitzsimmons to County Judge Jim Foster.
But while Foster, who chairs the Commissioners Court, is called a "judge," he's not a member of the judiciary, to which the county's voters have never elected an out LGBT person.
Two Democrats running in 2010 — John Loza and Tonya Parker — are hoping to change that.
"This is the first election cycle that I can remember where we've had openly gay candidates for the judiciary," said Loza, a former Dallas City Councilman who's been involved in local LGBT politics for decades. "It's probably long overdue, to be honest with you."
Dallas County's Jerry Birdwell became the first openly gay judge in Texas when he was appointed by Gov. Ann Richards in 1992. But after coming under attack for his sexual orientation by the local Republican Party, Birdwell, a Democrat, lost his bid for re-election later that year.
Also in the November 1992 election, Democrat Barbara Rosenberg defeated anti-gay Republican Judge Jack Hampton.
But Rosenberg, who's a lesbian, wasn't out at the time and didn't run as an openly LGBT candidate.
Loza, who's been practicing criminal law in Dallas for the last 20 years, is running for the County Criminal Court No. 5 seat. Incumbent Tom Fuller is retiring. Loza said he expects to face three other Democrats in the March primary, meaning a runoff is likely. In addition to groups like Stonewall Democrats of Dallas, he said he'll seek an endorsement from the Washington, D.C.-based Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, which provides financial backing to LGBT candidates nationwide.
Parker, who's running for the 116th Civil District Court seat, declined to be interviewed for this story. Incumbent Bruce Priddy isn't expected to seek re-election, and Parker appears to be the favorite for the Democratic nomination.
If she wins in November, Parker would become the first LGBT African-American elected official in Dallas County.
Loza and Parker are among four known local LGBT candidates in 2010.
They join fellow Democrats Fitzsimmons and Foster, who are each seeking a second four-year term.
While Foster is vulnerable and faces two strong challengers in the primary, Fitzsimmons is extremely popular and said he's confident he'll be re-elected.
"I think pretty much everybody knows that the District Clerk's Office is probably the best-run office in Dallas County government," Fitzsimmons said. "I think this county is a Democratic County, and I think I've proved myself to be an outstanding county administrator, and I think the people will see that."
Randall Terrell, political director for Equality Texas, said this week he wasn't aware of any openly LGBT candidates who've filed to run in state races in 2010.
Although Texas made headlines recently for electing the nation's first gay big-city mayor, the state remains one of 20 that lack an out legislator.
Denis Dison, a spokesman for the Victory Fund, said he's hoping Annise Parker's victory in Houston last week will inspire more qualified LGBT people to run for office.
"It gives other people permission really to think of themselves as leaders," Dison said.
The filing period for March primaries ends Jan. 4.

JERUSALEM, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Israeli soccer is free from match-fixing, national football association (IFA) chairman Avi Luzon said on Monday, a day after being questioned as part of a police investigation into corruption.
"At the end of this investigation, I can promise...that Israeli soccer is clean, as is the chairman of the IFA," Luzon said in an interview on Israeli Army Radio.
"I can say with all certainty that no referee fixed any match."
On Sunday, police said Luzon had been questioned for eight hours in connection with an investigation into alleged match-fixing and interfering in the placement of officials.
The interrogation came several months after police opened a broad match-fixing inquiry that has included the questioning of a number of club and match officials.
Luzon, 56, who is an executive committee member of European soccer governing body UEFA, was questioned in the previous round as a witness.
Luzon, who denies any wrongdoing, said he had no intention of resigning from the IFA.
"There will be elections for the IFA chairmanship in 2014 so I may stay on until 2018 and, if people annoy me, I'll continue until 2022," he said.
"I am not at liberty to discuss the investigation, I wish I could," Luzon added. "But I am more than happy if the police want to publish all the details from beginning to end and not a snippet." (Editing by Clare Fallon)

Featuring the characters without X-Men costumes, the pictures give the first look at Kevin Bacon's Sebastian Shaw and Nicholas Hoult's Hank McCoy before transforming into Beast.
20th Century Fox has answered people's craving for a sneak peek to "X-Men: First Class". The studio has given away three stills which are debuted exclusively by Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex. Unlike in the previously leaked cast photo which features the characters in X-Men costumes, this time they are all seen wearing daily outfits.
One photo features Caleb Landry Jones' Sean Cassidy/Banshee, Michael Fassbender's Erik Lensherr/Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence's Raven Darkholme/Mystique, Rose Byrne's Dr. Moira McTaggert, Nicholas Hoult's Hank McCoy/Beast, James McAvoy's Charles Xavier and Lucas Till's Alex Summers/Havoc together. Kevin Bacon's Sebastian Shaw and January Jones' Emma Frost are seen sitting side by side in another image, while Xavier and Lensherr are pictured in front of a chess board.
"X-Men: First Class" is currently re-shooting and director Mathew Vaughn shares this to Hero Complex, "We're filming at the moment, we've a lot to get done. I've never worked under such time pressure.... We've definitely got a release date and we've got to make it." Regarding a competition with other Marvel's upcoming releases, he is not lacking in confidence and even claims, "I will say the following: X-Men as a brand is bigger than Captain America, Thor and the Green Lantern, all put together."
McAvoy, meanwhile, wants to address to audience that he is not playing a new Xavier. "This isn't a reboot, so I'm not replacing anyone, in which case you might want to try to be as different as possible and stay away from what had been done before. This is a prequel, so I'm the same character, just younger," he explains. "But the challenge for me - and for Michael - is to show the same person in a different place in their life; to show someone before they're this bad guy, before they're this saint. Charles wasn't always a ... monk, this selfless, sexless monk that he becomes."
Producer Bryan Singer adds that "the biggest challenge is introducing an audience to these characters in a different time - characters the audience is familiar with but now see played by younger actors and in a story taking place in a different time." He continues, "You have to put your characters out there and introduce them to a quizzical public that sort of recognizes them. But that very thing is the exciting part of it."
"X-Men: First Class" will chart the epic beginning of the "X-Men" saga and follow Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr when they were still close friends who worked together with other mutants to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. It also highlights the events that lead them to become archenemies. The movie is slated for June 3, 2011 release in the U.S.
UPDATE: In addition to the stills, "X-Men: First Class" has also gotten a teaser poster which makes its way out via Ain't It Cool News. It features a huge X letter without the word "Men", but still mentions "First Class" on the lower side.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - The end result may not have surprised those who live in the Bardstown Junction community.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Residents in Shepherdsville who have been paying their city taxes and a fire tax over the course of the next 12 years may finally get some relief.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - If you don't have a plan, you never know where you are going.
This week Paul Coyle wishes we could all join him on his continued vacation.
Making the tough decision might wind up to be the easiest choice -especially when one has an opportunity to reflect.
The holidays are a time of cheer, but they can also be a time for battling traffic and bad weather on the road. Staying safe should be a top priority for all travelers so Better Business Bureau recommends taking a few precautions when hitting the road this holiday season.
MOUNT WASHINGTON – Black smoke from a Lloyd Lane garage fire billowed high above Mount Washington Tuesday afternoon.
Fortunately, no one was injured and no other structures caught fire, according to Mount Washington Fire assistant chief Chuck Minor.
The building, which did not house any hazardous materials, was however filled with construction and lawn care equipment.
Minor said by the time Mount Washington Fire units responded to the scene at 524 Lloyd Lane around noon the structure was a total loss.
SHEPHERDSVILLE -- Bullitt County Public Health officials shed a little more light on what caused nearly 60 employees at Zappos to become ill early last week.
According to a release from the Bullitt County Public Health
Department on Friday, a foodborne illness was most likely the cause of the illness.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A gas smell resulted in the temporary evacuation of the Shepherdsville Post Office Thursday morning.
Post Office supervisor Stephanie Carroll said the Post Office contacted Louisville Gas and Electric to report the smell around 9:30 a.m.
According to Carroll, LG&E told the 32 employees to evacuate as a precaution until someone arrived to inspect.
CLERMONT - A Nelson County woman died at the scene of a multi-vehicle traffic accident late Friday morning at the Bullitt County line near Jim Beam Distillery.
Amelia G. Smith, 60, of Bardstown, was pronounced dead at the scene by Bullitt County coroner David Billings.

The English Experience
The Department of English offers a variety of interesting classes that range from the traditional to the contemporary, like U.S. Latino/a Literature with Dr. Machado, Jewish American Literature with Dr. Furman, and American Literature: 20th Century Movements with Dr. Youngberg. There are also unique courses that focus on particular time periods or authors, such as 20th Century British Literature with Dr. Berlatsky, and a class on Toni Morrison with Dr. Dagbovie. The department's advisor is Shantelle Maxwell, who is always available to answer questions and keeps students informed of interesting new classes and events that focus on possible career options after graduation. In essence, the courses in the English department challenge students to become critical thinkers and better writers, which are important career skills. But most importantly, by introducing students to literature from different time periods and cultures, the entire faculty at Florida Atlantic University allows students to be aware of the different views and opinions they will experience in their lives.

When I first transferred to FAU, I had no idea what I wanted to study. I was not interested in any of the material I was learning and I felt very detached and disconnected from learning and from school in general. It wasn't until my first writing class my sophomore year that I was reminded of my long-time love for literature and writing. Up to that point, I had never considered studying what I love! Once I began my English courses, I fell in love with what I was doing. I found myself talking a lot about school to my friends and family, and I became very motivated. That motivation inside the classroom also reflected my attitude outside of the classroom. I have made many friends in the Department of English and became more involved with campus-life.
FAU'S English classes are kept small, which has allowed the classroom to become an intimate setting of learning, discussing and critical thinking. In every class, my professor has known me on a first-name basis and I have gotten to know most of my peers. Now that I am about to graduate, I feel that my life has been extraordinarily enriched by this department. The English Major weaves art, language, history, philosophy, and critical thinking together to create a very well-rounded education. I have grown so much as a person with my major. After reading so many wonderful novels, I have become so in-tuned with the human condition. I have really come to understand the art of the "thesis" when writing a paper, which has reflected the way that I speak to people and the way that I express myself.
Most importantly, the way that I think and see the world has changed drastically for the better; the English Major takes critical thinking to a whole new level which has made me more independent and confident in my own opinions. Without question, the English Major has provided me with a well-rounded education that has allowed me to grow and harness my own perceptions of the world we live in today and showed me how I put those views into action as I try to find my place in the real world. I am eternally grateful for the knowledge and experiences I have been given at FAU from the Department of English.

My love for reading and writing is all I brought with me when I first embarked on my college journey. Unsure of what I could study that would reflect these passions, the Department of English helped me to engage in my talents and eventually changed the way I perceive and understand the world around me. Whether engaging in texts that reflect the sentiments of newly freed American slaves or exploring the mystical underpinnings of Latin American authors, every piece of literature made compelling commentary to contemporary thought.
I also learned to function outside of typical academic structures and grow creatively. My English professors did more than challenge my skills of literary comprehension, they encouraged me to explore new ways of understanding history, communication, psychology, human interaction, culture, and current events. From learning about the exploratory genre of science fiction to breaking down the syntax of British Romantic poets, each course offers a focused and unique curriculum taught by instructors with unbridled enthusiasm for the subject at-hand.
Perhaps the most valuable asset I gained from my time at FAU is the confidence in knowing that my interest in literature would mature into something I could make a career out of. The curriculum often encouraged me to cultivate abstract concepts and apply them in practical ways. The skills I have gained through FAU's English program have well prepared me to become a distinguished individual amongst my peers after graduation. I wholly appreciate the experiences that the Department of English at FAU has provided me.

The English Department has an amazing Internship Program. When I first applied for the internship program, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew any placement would be an excellent opportunity to get hands on experience. With the help of our amazing advisor, Shantelle Maxwell, I was placed in an internship that truly impacted my career path. Last semester I had the chance to intern with L.A. Perkins Law Firm, and it was incredible. The idea of contributing to something greater than me made this internship meaningful and unforgettable.

My favorite aspect of the English Experience is the exposure to different points of view that broaden my own perspective of the world. Text observations by experienced professors and the fresh analytical skills of fellow classmates help train and teach me every day to look at the world in different ways. This open-mind training has shaped me into a better student and person. Ultimately, I believe these lessons will be crucial in preparing me for a successful professional life.

During my undergraduate career, I studied under many professors who were remarkably knowledgeable in regards to their fields of expertise and demonstrated a comprehensive textbook learnedness when it came to just about every topic on which they enlightened their students. Year after year, my admiration for the wisdom of the English department faculty kept growing. These professors were able to explain the topics that they touched upon in ways that could be grasped by all of their students, ways which walked them through their courses step-by-step and were conscientious of the fact that the individuals whom they were teaching were not as learned as they were, nor should they have been expected to display the same kind of eloquence given their comparative lack of experience. Though the amount of time and effort that I put into my studies was unquestionably an incredibly significant factor in regards to how well I ultimately performed in my college courses, I believe that how the lessons were taught was just as important.
The English Club played a significant role in helping many students to unwind after a hard day's work and provided an enjoyable forum within which fundraisers, the organization of study groups, special events, important books, and numerous other essentials were discussed. I had the privilege of having Ms. Shantelle Maxwell as my undergraduate advisor, and I can easily say beyond the shadow of a doubt that there are very few advisors in this world who come close to her in terms of the level at which she showed care for all of the students whom she advised. She never put on airs and always treated everyone around her as equals regardless of their positions. Such dedication and passion for a line of work are very hard to come by these days, and this helps her to stand out among her peers.

The English Department is very hands-on with their students. I attended two other universities before transferring to FAU, and I couldn't be more proud of where I graduated from and the degree that I earned. I had an amazing experience with the English Department. As a student, I was able to start the department's first English Club. I also took part in the English Internship Program, and was hired by my internship agency prior to graduating. During my last semester, the department gave me the opportunity to watch President Obama speak on campus. The best part of being an English major was having Shantelle Maxwell as my mentor and advisor. She always went above and beyond for me and challenged me to grow. She's very down-to-earth and has a real concern for students. All of these factors contributed to my unforgettable experience with FAU's English Department. Go Owls!

Philippines search for rebel's body
Philippine navy divers have been searching to recover the body of a key leader of the Muslim rebel group Abu Sayyaf, after President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo reported his death in a clash with special forces.
The bodies are yet to be found, but four other rebels who were captured confirmed their leader was one of three men who jumped off the sinking boat near the coast of southern Zamboanga peninsula.
US President George W Bush praised President Arroyo's pursuit of the militants: "I want to congratulate Gloria Arroyo for being tough and firm and strong to help rid the world of this particular threat."
Major-General Ernesto Carolina said divers had recovered sunglasses like those worn by Abu Sabaya, a satellite phone and a backpack from the sea.
If Abu Sabaya's death is confirmed, it will be a major blow to the rebel group, which is notorious for carrying out kidnaps for ransom.
Hostage-taking is the group's main activity although its stated aim is the creation of an independent Muslim state in the south of the mainly Christian Philippines.
The US believes the group has links with Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network. In May it put a $5m bounty on the head of Abu Sabaya, along with four other leaders.
The four wounded men who were rescued from the sinking boat were "verified Abu Sayyaf" and were being interrogated, said a defence spokesman.
The BBC's John McLean in Manila says Abu Sabaya is something of a national celebrity because of his habit of calling local radio stations on his satellite phones to taunt the authorities.
He and his men had been holding two American missionaries, Martin and Gracia Burnham, and a Filipina nurse Ediborah Yap for more than a year.
An operation mounted by the Philippine military on 7 June rescued Mrs Burnham, but the other two hostages were killed in the fighting.
US troops have been helping to train local soldiers to fight the guerrillas for several months.
The group is led by the reclusive Khadafi Janjalani, the brother of founder Abdurajak Janjalani who was killed by troops in 1998.

By Mike Dodd, USA TODAY
DENVER The Streak, which now takes its place in Denver's sports history with The Drive, began one month ago Tuesday.
Before it ends, it could rank among the best in baseball's fall annals.
The Colorado Rockies completed a sweep of the National League Championship Series on Monday with a 6-4 victory, giving them 21 wins in 22 games. Since 1900, only three other teams have won 20 of 21 games after Sept. 1, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The last NL team to do it at any point of the season was the 1936 New York Giants.
THE STREAK: A game-by-game analysis of the Rockies' run
"This is a special moment in the career of every man involved in this. This may never happen again," Colorado manager Clint Hurdle said before Monday's game. "This is one of those things where you get everybody back 10, 20 years down the road and have a reunion gig."
The Rockies joined Cincinnati's Big Red Machine of 1976 as the only teams to open the playoffs with seven consecutive victories. The Reds swept their seven postseason games en route to their second consecutive World Series title.
"Nobody in here is comparing us with that," said Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, with a laugh that sounds a little nervous. "I think that's taking it a little far right there."
The pronouncements of grandeur are as premature as the fireworks that went off for Yorvit Torrealba's double off the center-field wall in Sunday's 4-1 victory vs. Arizona. But then again, Torrealba hit a three-run homer three innings later to move the Rockies within one victory of their first World Series appearance.
"The time in which they're doing this, I think, probably makes this the most impressive streak in major league history," said Diamondbacks outfielder Eric Byrnes, who was on the 2002 Oakland Athletics team that won 20 in a row and 23 of 24 in late August to early September.
"Those guys are really hot right now. You throw, like, eggs, they could be fried," added Arizona pitcher Livan Hernandez, who gave up Torrealba's homer. "These people are really hot. You can't touch it."
The Rockies were four games over. 500 and in fourth place in the NL West when they took the field against Florida on Sept. 16. Coming off a 10-2 loss the previous night, they blasted the Marlins 13-0 for the first of 11 consecutive victories.
Arizona's Brandon Webb ended the streak 4-2 on Sept. 28, the game that clinched the NL West for the Diamondbacks. Then the Rockies won the final two games of the schedule and scored three runs off San Diego closer Trevor Hoffman in the bottom of the 13th to beat the Padres in the wild-card play-in game 9-8.
The Rockies' seven consecutive postseason wins — a 3-0 sweep of the Phillies in the Division Series and a four-game sweep of the Diamondbacks in the NLCS — make them the first team to sweep the Division and LCS rounds and one from tying the record for most consecutive playoff victories. The 2004 Boston Red Sox and 2005 Chicago White Sox each won eight in a row to capture the ALCS and World Series.
Unlike The Drive — heralding quarterback John Elway's masterful execution in the Denver Broncos' 98-yard drive in the final minutes of the 1986 AFC Championship Game — The Streak can't be credited to one player. "One of the things that makes us so special is I think everybody in there feels like they're a big part of it," said pitcher Jeff Francis, who is 4-1 in the streak.
Most Valuable Player contender Matt Holliday hit .367 with 12 homers and 30 RBI in September and Rookie of the Year candidate Troy Tulowitzki has emerged as a leader of the infield. Todd Helton, Brad Hawpe and Garrett Atkins all contributed consistently down the stretch.
But it's the Rockies' pitching that has come to the forefront in the last month, especially the bullpen and the unexpected contributions of rookie starters Ubaldo Jimenez and Franklin Morales. In the 20-1 run, the bullpen went 10-0 with a 2.07 ERA, giving up 19 earned runs in 82 2/3 innings.
In the first six playoff games, it allowed two earned runs in 23 innings for a 0.78 ERA, going 3-0.
Jimenez, while somewhat inconsistent in September, pitched 6⅓ innings of one-hit ball in the must-win game against Arizona on Sept. 30 and has allowed two earned runs in 11⅓ playoff innings.
Morales, who started the season in Class AA, was 3-0 with 2.88 ERA in September.
"Even though they don't have experience, they have a lot of guts, and they have an unbelievable fastball, both of them," Hawpe said. "You factor that in, and it makes it tough on the other team, because they don't know what they're getting from those two guys. So there's a little bit of a sneak attack for those guys."
Players say there are several defining moments in the September to remember, but the one mentioned more than others came in just the third game of the streak.
Helton's two-out, two-run, walk-off homer against Dodgers closer Takashi Saito in the second game of a Sept. 18 doubleheader gave the Rockies a 9-8 victory.
"If you want to say there was a signature moment, that might be it," Holliday said.
And then, of course, there's the 13th-inning comeback vs. Hoffman that secured the playoff berth and triggered the postseason streak.
"That's going to be a remarkable game to sit and watch this winter," Hurdle said. "You just go, 'Wow, we're on to something special here.' I think we all felt that way."

G-Side & Block Beattaz Put a New Twist on a Classic With '25 Lighters'
DJ DMD's classic cut '25 Lighters' with Lil' Keke and Fat Pat is one of the essential southern hip-hop records to know. The reunited G-Side decide to pay homage to the memorable song with the help of their go-to production team, the Block Beattaz, who deliver their signature spacey and melodic backdrop for this updated version.
ST 2 Lettaz and Yung Clova flow effortlessly on the beat while songstress Crystal Carr adds to the cut with her sultry delivery of the familiar "25 lighters on my dresser, dresser" hook.
This latest song, premiered by OG Mattress, is just a taste of what to expect from G-Side in 2014. The duo has been on a roll since they reunited this past November and are currently working on a new album titled 'Create,' due later this year. And if you're planning on attending SXSW, make sure you check out G-Side's performance on March 15 at the Avenue on Congress Rooftop in Austin, Texas.

An Education
Run time 95 Minutes
OK for Children
It's 1961 and attractive, bright 16-year-old schoolgirl, Jenny (Carey Mulligan, who was 22-years-old when she shot the film) is poised on the brink of womanhood, dreaming of a rarefied, Gauloise-scented existence as she sings along to Juliette Gréco in her Twickenham bedroom. Stifled by the tedium of adolescent routine, Jenny can't wait for adult life to begin.
Meanwhile, she's a diligent student, excelling in every subject, except the Latin that her parentally-ambitious father is convinced will land her the place she (and he) dream of at Oxford University.
One rainy day, her suburban life is upended by the arrival of an unsuitable suitor, 30-ish David (Peter Sarsgaard). Urbane and witty, David instantly unseats Jenny's stammering schoolboy admirer, Graham (Matthew Beard). To her frank amazement, he even manages to charm her conservative parents Jack (Alfred Molina) and Marjorie (Cara Seymour), and effortlessly overcomes any instinctive objections to their daughter's older, Jewish suitor.
David introduces Jenny to a glittering new world of classical concerts and late-night suppers with his attractive friend and business partner, Danny (Dominic Cooper) and Danny's girlfriend, the beautiful but vacuous Helen (Rosamund Pike). David replaces Jenny's traditional education with his own version, picking her up from school in his Bristol Roadster and whisking her off to art auctions and smoky clubs.
Her headmistress (Emma Thompson) is scandalized and her English teacher Miss Stubbs (Olivia Williams, in an award-deserving performance) is deeply disappointed that her prize pupil seems determined to throw away her evident gifts and certain chance of higher education.
This British independent film is brilliantly directed by Lone Scherfig, with a screenplay by Nick Hornby (who also wrote the novel About a Boy that was made into one of 2002's best films), adapted from a slim memoir by Lynn Barber about her 1961 schoolgirl romance with a man 20-years her senior. Although Mulligan's star-shaping performance clearly steals the show, the veteran Sarsgaard isn't far behind her. I still remember with admiration his exceptional performance in 2003's "Shattered Glass." This one is just as good. Sarsgaard perfectly captures the charm necessary to make the charade work. Keeping up with them is Williams, who had to be beautied-down to look like the dowdy schoolmarm. She isn't in many scenes but she lights up the screen in the ones in which she does appear.
This is the rare film that combines outstanding writing, directing and acting that keep it in mind long after it ends.

If you have experience working as a loan originator or loan officer for a mortgage company, you may have the basics of what you'll need to start your own mortgage company. If you also possess the desire to be a small business owner, then all you have to do is get a handle on the business side of starting and operating your own mortgage company to combine your experience with your dream.
1. Choose a name for your mortgage company. You may wish to include the word "mortgage" in the company name to identify the type of business for prospects and clients.
2. Establish the business structure. The structures are sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation and limited liability company (LLC). To separate and protect your personal assets from those of the business, you may want to speak with a business attorney before choosing the structure for the company.
3. Register the business with the state. Contact the secretary of state in the state where you hold your mortgage business license and where you intend to open the mortgage company. A representative from the secretary of state's office can provide you with the paperwork you'll need to complete and tell you what documentation you'll need to supply to complete the registration process.
4. Write a business plan. A business plan specifies the location where you intend to run the company, the employees you will hire, the types of clients you intend to market your mortgage company to, the goals you have for the business and the ways in which you intend to reach your target market with your marketing efforts.
5. Obtain a federal tax identification number. You can obtain a federal tax identification number for the business from the Internal Revenue Service by phone or online at the IRS website.
6. Establish relationships with vendors. In order to process mortgages, you will need to have relationships with appraisal companies, title companies, closing agents and survey companies.
Things Needed
- Mortgage broker license for the state where company will operate
- The state in which you obtained your mortgage broker license is the only state where you can establish mortgages for clients. If you wish to offer mortgages in other states, you must obtain a mortgage broker license from each of those states.

Defining Early Changes
For years Alzheimer's disease could not be diagnosed until the person died and an autopsy revealed an abundance of plaques and tangles in the brain. However, scientists and clinicians around the world have been developing effective techniques to diagnose AD even in its early stages. The diagnostic approaches consider a range of factors, including the results of physical exams, changes in performance on periodic neuropsychological tests (tests that measure memory, language and math skills, and other cognitive abilities), subtle changes in behavior over time, and sometimes brain scans.
Today, neurologists can be fairly confident of a diagnosis of clinically probable Alzheimer's disease. Studies have shown that specialized memory centers or doctors experienced in neurodegenerative diseases can diagnose AD with up to 90 percent accuracy, an impressive feat considering the complexity of the disease and the fact that, in the early stages, it can be difficult to distinguish from other types of age-related cognitive decline.
Diagnostic techniques are so important because the earlier that physicians diagnose AD, the better they may be able to treat the symptoms and track the disease process. Early diagnosis can also help spur people with memory problems to make the most of their abilities and interests while they still can. It also helps their families adjust to changing roles and realities and plan for the future.
Neurologist Dr. Ron Petersen has been a pioneer in classifying and diagnosing different forms of early-stage memory loss. He is the director of the Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center in Rochester, Minnesota and Jacksonville, Florida. The Mayo Clinic center is one of a network of twenty-nine Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers around the country funded by the National Institute on Aging and specializing in research on Alzheimer's disease.
Back in 1994, Dr. Ron Petersen and colleagues at the Mayo Clinic diagnosed the beginnings of Alzheimer's disease in former president Ronald Reagan. President and Mrs. Reagan were open with each other—and the public—about the fact that the former president's forgetfulness was an early stage of AD. "This diagnosis was important to them. They felt that for the community and for the world at large, their recognition might show that if the president of the United States can develop Alzheimer's disease, anybody can. By encouraging people not to ignore possible signs of change, they made an important contribution to society," says Dr. Petersen.

Fast Facts
- Rapid advances in our knowledge about AD have led to the development of promising new drugs and treatment strategies. However, before these new strategies can be used in clinical practice, they must be shown to work in people. Advances in prevention and treatment are only possible thanks to volunteers who participate in clinical trials.
National Impact
- Among those touched by Alzheimer's (excluding self), nearly one-third provide support as a friend or relative, another 3% provide support as a healthcare professional, and the remaining two-thirds provide no support to the person suffering from Alzheimer's. When support is provided, it most often entails emotional support, followed by care-giving support. While small in comparison, more than one person in ten is providing financial support. Read more.

SGV Literary Festival staffer Michael Torres has a book out from Finishing Line Press!
The Beautiful Distraction is a full length poetry collection from writer Michael Torres.
The Beautiful Distraction is available for pre-order now and ships on December 2nd.
"Reading Michael Torres's work is seeing Pomona and Los Angeles for what it really is. Here we find liars, artists, the insane, and geniuses, and Michael is at the center of it all, observing it silently sometimes and other times participating fully. Michael is a true artist who is able to capture this moment and this place with perfect clarity and vision." — John Brantingham, author of East of Los Angeles.
2 Responses to "The Beautiful Distraction"
The first time I heard Michael read one of his poems at the podium, I was blown away. Richly nuanced and textured in original perspectives, his words continue to amaze each time he takes the mic.
Marta Chausée, author
Resort to Murder mystery series
Yeah, Michael is an amazing poet. He also is probably having a book of his fiction coming out soon. Absolutely incredible.

Her Name Is Taylor
Inside You See Something Green - Poem by Her Name Is Taylor
My outside is unassuming and blank
It is pretty when Im secure,
but when my shelter is broken, and
I see too much light
My ugliness shows
But I know when to hide,
b/c like the hulk
I turn green when something's not the same
and I have to walk a dark hall of shame
I see her there, my art, my talent, and my life
her pretty eyes, and pale white skin
that tortures me inside
then I become a color wheel.....
and eventually you see green
then I know my insides have escaped me
but I soon have to turn into the proud brown that I am
b/c someone told me about loving myself
& strong-and-fighting brown words seek
to fight the green away
& my heart begs to be rescued from the pain
the brown words win, but green lurks to escape
when I forget about the brown, and something's not the same

I'm really undecided between these two NAS setups.
Either way I plan to use 5x2TB or 5x3TB WD Reds in RAID5
The NAS will be used for backup and streaming video.
Topic URL: http://forums.ncix.com/forums/topic.php?id=2588425
I love my drobo fs that I got for 400 from ncix on a surprise special deal around 8 months ago.
The Synology is the better unit, IMO. Its OS is significantly more capable than that of the QNAP, and there are more modules available to add extra functionality.
Whatever you do, though, don't buy a Drobo. They're slow as molasses in January.
When I look at the price of a decent NAS I start to wonder about building an mITX system for the same or less and the added versatility it would offer.
This little build I threw together is $779.25 without even price matching.
The thing that worries me is putting an 8x card in a 16x slot that is meant of a video card.
I've seen in forums where some people have got it to work and other people cannot get it to work.
I have the 1512+ and I highly recommend it. It will have a greater capacity and be much easier to run than building your own.
You can also price match it for less then $899. In my case I got it for considerably less and couldn't be happier.
I'm tempted to buy one of these and repurpose my existing DS212 as backup, but I also need one of those Routerboards for that to happen :P

Whereas, it appears that the southeast quarter of section twenty- one, township thirty-six north, range five west, Mount Diablo Meridian, California, patented to the Central Pacific Railroad Company under its grant on March eleveath, eighteen hundred and ninety six, has been occupied for over five years by an Indian entitled to receive the tract in allotment if it were not, for the grant to the Railroad Company;
Whereas upon request of the Secretary of the Interior the said Railroad Company has agreed to reconvey the tract so occupied to the United States under the provisions of the Act of Congress approved March fourth, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, entitled "An Act For the relief of Indians occupying railroad lands in Arizona, New Mexico, or California", as amended by the Act approved April eleventh, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen, in order that it may be available for allotment to said Indian, provided that the said Railroad Company may be permitted to select in lieu thereof under the provisions of said Acts, the tract of 160 acres within the Tahoe National Forest in California, hereinafter described; and
Whereas it appears that the relinquishment is sought for the benefit of the Indian and that the tract desired in exchange by said company is of the character contemplated by the aforesaid Act of March fourth, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, and equal in area and value to that to be relinquished;

LITTLE Lever boxer Danny Watson extended his winning record as a professional to seven straight victories at the Reebok Stadium on Saturday night, but admitted he made life difficult for himself.
The 32-year-old, who now lives in Bromley Cross, beat Lance Sheehan of Aberdare, South Wales, 59-56 on points after six closely-contested rounds.
And while happy to win, he conceded he was not entirely satisfied with his display.
He told The Bolton News: "It was a tough fight – he made it that way, but I made life hard for myself at times. I am happy to win again though."
Watson, boxing at his more natural welterweight level, had been scheduled to fight St Helens' Gary Ormrod before a change of opponent to Sheehan.
But with fantastic vocal home support from a packed crowd, he began on the front foot, penning his 27-year-old opponent on the ropes in the first round.
It was a more even contest in the second round as Sheehan showed why he won his first five professional fights.
In the third, Watson cornered Sheehan again and then connected with some good left-handers in the fourth.
The fifth was a tricky one for the Bolton man, who had to duck and dive to avoid successive shots before a good comeback to trouble Sheehan. Both fighters landed good shots in the final round but referee Mark Lyson handed the victory to Watson.
Elsewhere on the bill, there was a third victory from three for Leigh's Ashley Peyton against Birmingham's Sid Razak.
The light-welterweight contest saw the 25-year-old win 60-54 after six two-minute rounds. A change to the bill meant Atherton's Craig Boardman did not fight.

TC-42PX14 is rated out of 5 by 4.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Plasma Having owned four LCD HDTV's and never thought about buying a plasma due to cost, burn-in, etc.; I saw this a model at a shopping club and had to do more research. A top consumer magazine rated six Panasonic's as best (even though this exact model wasn't listed probably due to the Contract Ratio) and many specification sites eased my mind about no burn-in, reflections, etc. Before I bought, I did an on-line chat with a Panasonic tech person about possible reflection or wash-out with an over head light and he indicated it would not be a problem. So I bought this unit and it is terrific. The 15000:1 Contrast Ratio may not be the highest, but I do not find this an issue. The angle of view is crystal clear no matter where I am in the room. Even with Standard Def, the clarity from 14' up to 6" from the front of the screen is the same. The heat given off from this unit is almost nil, compared to the heat generated from an LCD HDTV.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great TV, no major issues at all. Picked this unit up at a great price, my LCD that I had prior had serious issues that I haven't seen at all (no dead pixels, yay!). I misjudged the amount of glare it would get, but even so it's not much to whine about. I wish it had more HDMI inputs, and some stronger built-in speakers. Be careful when hooking up a pc or laptop to this. the best pc resolution i was able to get was difficult to achieve. and i had to fiddle around with the brightness/contrast since the tv was darker than my laptop screen. but that was through the PC vga input. and the speakers are weak. big time. i didn't realize that my laptop speakers pumped out clearer, louder sound than this tv. and i have a budget laptop. you get what you pay for. and in this case, more than what you pay for with visual quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great buy!!!! I just picked this up yesterday, when I exchanged a Vizio XVT unit for this one. It's our first Plasma TV and I'm surprised at the picture out of the box and after a little adjustment it got even better. Picture is better than an LCD to me. I don't know if mine is a fuke or not, but it does do 1080p. Hooked up my Xbox 360 (through HDMI) and set it to 1080p and it worked great. Just make sure you have an HD source like Blu-Ray, HDTV, HD-DVD, Xbox 360 etc. Sound is not great like the Vizio but is still very good.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good set, good price, not PC friendly Bought to use as a monitor. This set either shrinks the picture down to a 37" (which I could have gotten for a lot cheaper) or crops it so bad you can't see a large portion of the screen. I've been through every aspect combination and display resolution. Very disappointing. May return.

What should I do if my TV will not turn on and the power indicator LED is not flashing?Follow these troubleshooting steps:
- Make sure your TV's power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
- Make sure the electrical outlet the TV is plugged into has power by testing known working device in that outlet.
- After verifying the TV is plugged into a working outlet, try pressing the [POWER] button on the TV instead of the TV remote.
What should I do if the front Power indicator LED light is blinking?1. Unplug the TV's power cord.
2. Unplug all cables.
3. Power the TV using a different power outlet (do not use a power strip or surge protector).
If the problem persists, consider having the TV serviced. Click here for Panasonic Service Locator.
Note: Count how many times the LED light blinks. This can help a technician troubleshoot the problem.
What should I do if I get audio but no picture from an external device connected to my TV?
- Try unplugging the cable between the TV and the external device and reconnecting it firmly on both sides.
- Try unplugging the power cord of the external device for 30 seconds.
- Try connecting another external device to the same input using the same cable.
- If the picture returns on the second device, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the first external device you had connected for further troubleshooting.
- Try using a different cable between your device and the TV using the same input of your TV. If you get a picture and audio, you may need to replace your cable.
- Try another input of the TV to verify if there is an issue with the TV input the external device was connected to.
What should I do if I have bars displaying on the TV screen?Change the format (aspect ratio) of the picture by pressing the [FORMAT] or [ASPECT] button on the TV's remote control. If you still have bars, check the aspect settings on your external video source, such as Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray Disc player, etc. Note: Some content, such as film-based movies, are available in extra-wide format. Top and bottom bars are unavoidable.

How cozy would this hammock make your reading nook? Not to mention the originality factor. Ok, yes, it's real fur, so shame on me, but still.... so perfect for a midwinter's nap...

Unbelievable luxury and comfort for the price of an amazing used car! Ridiculous to me but, to each his own.
