OverviewWest Oweep peak is a stikingly red peak located on the main east/west crest of the Uinta Mountains of Utah, 8.4 miles west of Kings Peak, Utah's highpoint. At 12507' high and a prominence of 247' it ranks 64 on Scott's list of Utah 12000 footers with over 200 feet of prominence. It has no official name, only that which Scott dubbed it because it rises above the barren west Oweep basin to its south.
The following views are from the southeast.
The following views are from the west.
To the southeast along the ridge lies 12531' Oweep Peak and to the northwest lies South Blacks Fork Peak (12769'). The ridgeline extending to both of these peaks is gentle and is for the most part, easy walking. In the picture below, West Oweep Peak is the red peak in the middle. Both ridges are seen. The west ridge is in the front and the souteast ridge is leading away from the peak.
The north face of West Oweep Peak is very steep as shown in the picture on the left below. The south face is only moderately steep and is shown just right of middle in the picture on the right below.
I doubt West Oweep Peak gets climbed very often. As the crow flies, the nearest trailhead to the north is the East Fork Blacks Fork Trailhead, 8 miles away. The Lake Fork Trailhead located to the south is 14 miles away. However, it is only a short distance away from the Highline Trail, the premier hiking trail of the Uintas.
Getting ThereTake I80 to exit 34 in Wyoming and head to Fort Bridger. Go 5.3 miles to a blinking red light. Turn right on Wyoming state route 414 and go 3 miles to Wyoming state route 410. Follow 410 for 13 miles. First you will see a sign that says the pavement ends in 750 feet. Shortly you will see another sign for "Blacks Fork River Access Area" and then another one that says "Wasatch Nat'l Forest/Meeks Cabin 13". If you miss the signs, don't worry, the three sets of rumble strips should wake you up. Do as the signs say and turn left. The road you turn onto starts out paved but soon changes to dirt. Follow the main road 23.6 miles to the signboard (just past a gate) for the East Fork Blacks Fork Trail. The trail start is just before the signboard. There is no parking right at the trail start. Instead, continue on the road for just a few feet and turn right and then left into the parking lot.
On the Wyoming side, the dirt road is beautifully graded and maintained and you can make good time. Once it crosses the Utah border it gets noticeably worse and once it passes the intersection with the dirt road headed for the Mirror Lake Highway, it gets worse still. It's somewhat rocky but is fine for passenger cars if you go slow.
Red Tape
Normal wilderness area restrictions apply. Check the signboard at the trailhead for the most uptodate information.
There is a free campground at the East Fork Blacks Fork Trailhead. There are 7 official sites all of which have fire pits. Four of these have picnic tables and three do not. Even on weekends, I've seen at most three sites in use. There is no water so you need to bring your own.
If you choose to backpack, you should have no problem finding a spot along either the Little East Fork Blacks Fork Trail or the East Fork Blacks Fork Trail.
When to climb
If you want to avoid snow, mid July through the beginning of September are the best months. Creek crossings will be significantly easier later in the summer. The dirt road leading to the East Fork Blacks Fork Trailhead is not plowed in the winter.
Routes OverviewBlacks Fork Ridge Loop
A nice loop hike can be made which climbs West Oweep Peak plus 5 other 12000 footers in one day. Start on the East Fork Blacks Fork Trail and head for the north ridge of Northwest Blacks Fork Peak. Head south on the ridge and hit Northwest, North, Central, and South Blacks Fork Peaks to the main east/west crest of the Uintas which is reached on South Blacks Fork Peak. From South Blacks Fork Peak head southeast down the main ridge and follow this ridge over West Oweep Peak (12507') and Oweep Peak (12531'). Descend to the Little East Fork Trail and follow it back to the East Fork Trail which is followed back to the start. The route is 21.3 miles long with a total of 6100 feet of elevation gain. It is primarily class 1 and class 2 with some short minor class 3 sections.
The first five peaks of the route are shown in the pictures below.
Highline Trail
Although West Oweep Peak is a long way from a trailhead, it is less than 2 miles from the Highline Trail. One possible loop from the Highline Trail is shown at the left. In addition to going over West Oweep Peak, it covers South Blacks Fork Peak (12507), and Oweep Peak (12531') as well . Most of the way along the ridgeline is fairly easy walking, but it gets a little rugged around Oweep Peak and may be cumbersome with a full backpack. The descent from Oweep Peak to Squaw Pass is very steep and would be difficult with a heavy pack.
The off-trail section is shown in blue and is 4.69 miles long. The trail section is shown in red and is 3.05 miles long for a total of 7.74 miles. The total elevation gain is 2650 feet.
Mountain Weather
A typical summer day in the Uintas dawns without a cloud in the sky. By mid morning faint wisps of clouds are seen on the horizon. By midday the sky is half full of big puffy clouds. In the afternoon the sky is mostly overcast and possibly raining, but by early evening blue sky makes a comeback. Afternoon thunderstorms are frequent.
Here is a link to the current 7 day forecast for West Oweep Peak.

Buffalo, NY- Erie County Legislator Betty Jean Grant (D-Buffalo), Democratic Leader of the Erie County Legislature, applauds the release this afternoon of a NYS Health Department study that effectively bans hydraulic fracturing in New York State.
As Chairwoman of the Erie County Legislature in 2013, Betty Jean Grant was the lead sponsor of a local law that outlawed hydraulic fracturing on land owned by Erie County. The law, which was approved by County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz, also prohibits the storage, disposal, or treatment of natural gas waste and fracturing fluids or solids by any wastewater treatment facility owned or operated by Erie County, prohibits the purchase or acquisition of such materials by Erie County, and prohibits the application of any of these products to construct or maintain any road owned or maintained by Erie County.

Grave Creek Mound Archaeological Complex in Moundsville will continue its 2013 Lecture/Film series at 7 p.m. Feb. 28 with a lecture titled "A Snowball's Chance: Climatic Effects on Native Americans during the Protohistoric Era, 1530-1760." Isaac J. Emrick, lecturer and Ph.D. candidate at West Virginia University, will present the free program and the public is invited to attend.
In North America, a period known as the Little Ice Age reached its first peak in the 1500s. Archaeologists have determined that this climate change coincided with the boom and bust cycles that affected the prehistoric cultures who lived in the Middle Ohio River Valley. Emrick's presentation combines the most up-to-date climate information with archaeological and historical records to examine the role of climate in these cultural boom and bust cycles.
Emrick teaches U.S. and American Indian history at WVU, where he is completing his doctoral
dissertation titled "To Abandon so Beautiful a Dwelling: Indian Connections to the Middle Ohio River
Valley, 1640-1754." His major field of study is Early Native American History and he started his academic career as a cultural anthropologist. One of his many projects was developing a GIS database of colonial period information for the Ohio River Valley.
"Modern technology is allowing research to go into areas never before explored. The application of
technology and climate data has provided fascinating insight into past cultures," said David Rotenizer, site manager at Grave Creek Mound.
The series will continue at 7 p.m. March 28, with a talk titled "Paleoethnobotany: The Secret of Seeds" with Amanda L. Valko, archaeology lab manager at Michael Baker Corporation in Beaver, Pa.

On November 25, 2012, two librarians from Sriwijaya University in Indonesia arrived in Ohio to begin their twelve-day exploration of Ohio universities. Dr. Majelis, head of the library of the graduate program, and Dr. Halim Sobri, head of the library of the undergraduate program, spent the majority of their time in Athens, discovering the structural and research advancements in Ohio University Libraries.
"The Southeast Asia collection amazed me." Majelis said. For the students at Sriwijaya University, Majelis can see the "benefit of being able to use the resources of the Southeast Asia collection, because in their research, sometimes they cannot find certain books even if it is published in Indonesia."
Sriwijaya University has multiple disciplinary programs and is divided into two regional campuses, each having a library. Students from both campuses come to the main campus, in the town of Palembang, to use the library. But one issue limits their access.
"You know what I envy? Their operation time – the length of operation hours," Majelis said in reference to Ohio University Libraries' hours. "We could not do that in Indonesia right now."
Majelis believes that extending the hours that the library is open in Sriwijaya University Libraries will attract more students. For Majelis, students should be able to come into town and not worry about catching a bus back to their periphery campus. Extending the library's hours of operation could create a hospitable learning environment similar to Ohio University Libraries, a goal Majelis and Sobri aim to act on with Sriwijaya University's administrators.
"I believe that they expect us to get something out of this visit," Majelis said referring to the administrators. "Of course we are going to write a proposal to challenge them to provide students with better library services and anything that is beneficial for the university."
Majelis hopes that in the future, more Sriwijaya University students and faculty can travel to Ohio University's Athens campus to utilize the Libraries' special collections. According to Majelis, it would be especially useful in broadening the horizons of Sriwijaya University lecturers.
"It will be better for the president to send them here like they sent us — to see how the students are managed, how the libraries are managed," Majelis said. "The attitudes of the lecturers, you know, they change after they see what's happening here. Here they are very cooperative and very understanding, which cannot be found, sometimes, in Indonesia."
By the end of their visit, Majelis and Sobri realized the scope of what the Ohio University Libraries has to offer, both in resources and administrative techniques.

Shortcuts are best suited to desktop on the computer,
Not intended for the average commuter.
You will always get cut short, if you try one from a plane,
And shortcuts from a train only ends in pain.
Your stay on a ship may be short, should you slip.
Cars don't normally fly, so don't even try.
One on a bike, could result in quite a hike.
A shortcut while running, is not very cunning.
Walking with a book, may change the way you look.
Shortcuts should not be undertaken by the average builder,
Not even for a guilder.
Any shortcuts with tools, is only for fools.
It could be your loss, if you take shortcuts to please the boss.
Trying them when you cook, will only make you crook.
Shortcuts while cutting up food, may not put you in the mood to eat that food.
And shortcuts when unwell, could find you down a well.
A shortcut when drinking, will set other's hearts to aching.
If you are looking for fun, don't take a shortcut with a gun.
Getting caught short makes shortcut a must, if you don't want to bust.
A shortcut from a map, will see no mishap.
Dogs and large cats in your way, makes a shortcut ok.
Avoiding a fight sometimes necessitates one, even excuses having to run.
Though my best advice, before you hit the wall,
Most shortcuts are no use at all.
Manage your time and your shortcuts will decline.
If reading this has made you late,
I take no responsibility for any shortcut, you care to contemplate.

Too much Viagra and beer.
Too much Viagra and beer.
My wife was out of town,
I hit every club around.
Each time I'd hope to find
A horny woman here.
Country Bob's was the last club that was open.
Near blind drunk and horny, but I was still hopin'.
A pretty woman gave me a glance,
Smiled and said, "Nice pants.
Honey, I'm ridin' if you're ropin'."
A few hours later, I was in a Helluva mess
She's still ridin' hard and screamin', "God, this is the best!"
I was dizzy and light-headed. I had pains in my chest,
But she wouldn't stop long enough to call EMS.
When I came to, I was home in my own bed,
Next to my lovely wife; and this is what she said:
"I picked you up at Country Bob's, my dear;
And there's gonna be some changes around here.
You were fantastic last night;
So, I only think its right
If I supplement your diet
With Viagra and beer."
Viagra and beer. Viagra and beer.
She treats me like a king,
Says I make her body sing;
So, She makes sure I get my Viagra and beer.
Viagra and beer. Viagra and beer.
Yeah, she makes sure I get my Viagra and beer.
We're like newlyweds.
I need a break sometime.

Who am I?
Am I defined by what is near in sight?
Am I defined by what I have done,
Or am I defined by what I could become?
Perhaps I'm of no use.
To him, or her, or I, nor you.
Or perhaps I'm too misunderstood to be defined,
And it is something like understanding that comes in time.
And if to the world I'm never shown,
Yet in my own light I've grown and grown,
And so I can know no happiness but my own--
The reason for my smile, to you, will forever be unknown.
I do not pray for the world to know my name.
For it and verse; the letters are the same.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads,
I pray his pain my words to keep.
Should his eyes rain on my page,
Better tears than storms of rage.
And if a man should find his sorrow in what he reads.
I pray his pain my words to keep.
And if to the world you're never shown,
Yet in your own light you've grown and grown,
And so you know no happiness but your own.
Let the reason for your smile, to you, only be known.

I cried as I said goodbye today,
To my best childhood friend;
As my tears fall I wish you could stay,
I never thought it would end;
You snort and bump me with your nose,
Trying to tell me it's alright;
If I'll see you again, nobody knows,
Tears are blurring my sight;
"It's time" Mom calls from outside,
And I lead you out of your stall;
Trying to hide the tears that I've cried,
With my head up, I try to walk tall;
I give you a hug and breathe in your scent,
Then hand over your lead rope;
Questioning vaguely where our time went,
Praying that I can cope;
And as they drive away with you,
I drown myself in tears;
I'm lost, I don't know what to do,
As I think back on our years;
And as my tears start to dry,
I think of the good times and the bad;
I never thought I'd have to say goodbye,
To you, the best friend I ever had.
The Sniper
The man who in his delusion shot and killed Kyle
all American sniper who boasted of killing
167 Arabs. A film was made and USA applauded
and no doubt it will receive an Oscar.
A movie that totally lack empathy, what does one
expect of a Clint Eastwood, only this sniper Kyle
was for real and not a western invention.
Is this a war movie? Deeply disturbing morality,
killing for the sake of it. Our hero Kyle found his
death on the shooting range and the man who
killed him was an American soldier too who put
an end to our false gods and war values, for him
a lethal injection awaits the killer of the American dream .

God gives not peace, it's only dreamt by man,
in all the world ,brought from catastrophe,
all things are made, since time was first began
by things upheaved so new life comes to be.
The weak must fail, be eaten by the strong,
and losers die the death along the way,
so new life grows, even if it is wrong,
there is no time the poor will have to play.
The lion who will lay down with the lamb,
will have a feast before the day is done,
and all the world will never give a damn,
nor care about the giants and their fun.
The hunter takes his aim and fells the dove
the weak in life are only dreaming of.

this opportunity to thank everyone - Ruben, Raul, Andrew, Elaine, Patricia, Carol, Adeleke,
Krista, Trudi, Kristin, Bill, Shishir, Sami, James, Trudi and many, many others - who have

Last Chance Saloon:
The deadbeat shuffle from Boardwalk to Boot Hill
Implores the synapse circuit of a short walk to the kill,
With one foot out of line one soon is gone
In Winter rains that fell all Summer long;
Never once did Zeus advise to pack a bag,
Only suck it up and tread the old main drag.
When first she shed her morals and her dress,
The channel burn adored her more than less,
Post-coital walks, romancing in the sun
Beat a path to living in the shadow of the gun;
As expectation always lets one down,
Rends the heart in two by softly skipping town.
From the stained-glass of an alcoholic haze
Wherein kaleidoscopic migraines snap and blaze,
The rusty barrelled gun scrapes at the head,
All the chambers full of coals and glowing red;
She resurfaces like some immortal doll,
And each bullet tastes of paracetamol.
So to raise the weary glass to mouth again,
To curse and toast her godforsaken name,
To down the medicine and down some more
And ride the bona-fide revolving bat-swing door;
Swear by saints alive to never leave this room,
No more chances left to chance in this last chance saloon.

This poem came about by a discussion at work describing a memphis burger and a classic one. I told someone they flowed together and they didn't believe me so I wrote this:
I went down to memphis
There was this, classic chick
With them hips, and red lipstick
A kiss so delicious that
I promised to this miss I would not dissapear
But I was dishonest, I thought I made it clear
That this situation between the two of us
Was not serious But she was delrious
Became so furious that
That month she had two periods
It only takes one to end my sentence
25 to life, Im not doin the time on that sentence
Doesn't matter if she gets me presents
Don't care if she gets madder that I am not present,
yet she gets sadder cause she still feels my presence
It wont be pleasant, if she doesnt let me leave peacefully
So I packed my things in the middle of the night
Took off asap so she couldn't pick a fight
Flew right back to my little house on the right
Split so fast like Kim Kardash was my wife
Realized that I just dodged a couple of knifes
It seems whack, But I just had to run and hide
This commital thing isnt for me
I am brittle, I crack too easily
Got to be careful cause I need Room to wiggle cant be
Strangled or tied down, I know It'll come back around
Hurt triple the times when karma
Shoots me down from the sky
So for right now, sayonara, beddy bye
Nice to know ya, good night

Has America's spirit strayed off the trail?
Have we found what's in every canyon
Or have we failed?
Will we let the bad guys win and try no more?
See Lady Liberty as something
To just deplore?
Have we seen the elephant grow soft and weak
As the donkey only sits and brays,
But does not speak
Or see the wild anger in our horse's eyes
As they promise us those gold cities
And tell more lies.
America has strayed too far off the trail—
We wait a great judgment from the West
Cloaked in black veil.

I'll cut you into little pieces,
push you down underground.
I'll let maggots feast on you,
just to see broken flesh.
I'm glad you understand my twisted self,
and you take part of my daily bread.
I'm going to hang you from
the highest star in the heavens,
burning your laughter from your lungs.
I'd be joyful, emotionless,
wreckage not even God Himself can undo.
Underground the maggots chew and chew,
hey girl there I see you.

Screaming silently for that one breath
of life...
that whirling maelstrom of beaten-down loss upon wrap-around defeat
of life...
that mercilessly shovels heaps of leaden rubble as you try to get back on your feet
mute and dumbly flailing in the raging torrent
of being...
but a mere speck of dirt on the tapestry of a world, that at times, is quite abhorrent
quietly wishing to surrender to the nothingness that seductively beckons, as you gasp
hoping against all hope that a lifeline would appear suddenly within your grasp
yet caught in the ghastly waters of unchartered isolation
a trickle of hope amidst the gushing liquid of sheer desolation
whilst holding on to slivers of sanity when blistering madness calls out to you
faltering weaknesses snap and gnaw at your state of being, out of the pristine clear blue
i have felt the pull of life's devious current as it has stripped me of my self and left me naked and bare
and still...
i fight with every suffocating breath left within
to surface and to cling onto
another gulp of life's coarse and putrid air...

It slides softly in the night sky,
That pale moccasin of the moon—
It lights up a snow-bleached prairie—
Whispering summer comes too soon.
We trace the trail of coyotes—
Avoid the dark dens of the bear—
The full light of your white footprint
Lures us now to your fatal lair.
Oh, we chant into the black dome
Of all the things that used to be—
There's no more Indian summer—
Long gone are Cree and Cherokee.
Yet, still the silky stealthy tread
Brings back images bright and keen—
Of lost Native Americans
Where so few are now seldom seen.
But moons do not let us forget
All the wild blood shed on both sides—
As we trace steps of moccasins
To where the dark of the moon hides.
Yes, it walks gently in tall sky,
That faint moccasin of new moon—
So gently it illuminates
As we dance mutely to its tune.

Sing Me a Song
Oh, sing me a song of cows and campfires
And dream back to those days that are long past;
Of empty bunkhouse and tall mountain spires,
Of old west ghost towns and things that won't last.
Think back to trail drives and prairie house sod
And sing me a tune of lost western lore;
Of thunder stampede and starlight of God,
Of worn-out saddles and what comes no more.
Oh, listen now will you, to times gone by--
Low singing round fires with voice soft and sure;
Hear with stone ears of that which makes us cry:
Old times flown by and the days that were pure.
Sing again now as we head up that hill,
Soak in the horn moon of deep starry night;
The horses are mute but drink up their fill--
Our past is forever and dark is light.

The song begins with a high note and ends on a low
And denotes the notes urged and surged in between
In the center of the song the brass begins to blow
But then a piccolo portends the end of pert and pristine
At first the fiddles finery finesses a flute
While a violin steals a viola's heart
Suddenly a dulcimer and a drum declare a dispute
When, of course, a pinewood piano pulls them apart
The maestro keeps time measured quite well
With a baton beckoning beauty from a band renown
The crescendo cradles a symphony's swell
But the vexing vocalist's voice dons a deceptive gown
Then choreographed is the chorus, the chorals and bells
With a timpani to teach a trombone what it never before tried
Oh, from the choir comes the groans of ten thousand hells
And the misery music made when our romance and the rhythm died

Fur trappers they started many centuries ago
In a country to become as the years truly flowed
Centennial by centennial, amidst wars between they
Slowly they emerged into cattle driven play
The vast expanses of prairies so green
Lured Barons of the beast to their riches they always dreamed
Herds in vast amounts recreating the Bison's exist
Where they eventually replaced in numbers, in numerous consist
The eventuality of the Iron Horse, opened these lands up even more
Sheridan, White Oaks even Tombstone, led to street filled open sores
The James Gang and William Bonney, are two that history has shown
No care for what they declared that the Wild West was their throne
The sad thing about the cowboy era, is in the scenery that was left behind
On many a prairie from their past, where greed has left them so blind
We have the opportunity to look back and rewind, for hindsight allows us to do
So many were never ever heroes, just what do we find in them so true
Just for a moment to the future, whilst countries in our time have been invaded
They are the modern Indigenous, like the past, the cowboys left degraded
The above are written from my heart, if you know me you will know me to be true
For if I was born to the Indigenous, to your ancestors, I'd stand in front of you

She said it was come to Jesus
But it wasn't held in a church
Familiar as I am with the
Who knew that Jesus cursed.
She started out on football
And the way I sat and
Then rolled her eyes when I
pointed out
She was talking about God's
own football team.
Then she made some
unmentionable comment
About how it wasn't right
That somehow one of my
Needed to go drinking every
When I politely tried to tell her
She was blowing things out of
She said you better get new
some friends
Who knew the meaning of the
word extortion
When I asked what it was she
She said it's really no big
Treat me like I'm still you're

Travel trailers, trophy buckles
And Blue Ribbon bottles,
Litter my ol' lonely landscape
Of rodeo battles.
I lost a few and won a few
And traveled down the road—
I lived for that 8-second ride—
Thought town jobs were a load.
I cowboyed up and cowboyed down—
Touched too many a heart—
I never realized all those dreams—
Greet folks at the WalMart.
Trailers, trophies and stale warm beer—
Rodeo don't seem real—
They're all just empty as my life—
Now I know how cows feel.
Lake Eliza
Out by poor old Lake Elisa lived a moody ancient miser.
Who bemoaned his fate throughout the livelong day.
lived further west than Isa out where the heat and flies are.
So he plotted as he moaned "I'll find a way?".
Oh this fellow loved a lady one Cherolyn O'Grady,
so besotted while he sauntered from insanity to mad.
For it seems she was his sister Joe O'Grady never kissed her,
She'd run off to Coolgardie selling favours to the sad.
Oh it seems his mind could wander,
through the desert just out yonder.
It got sunstruck when his hat it blew away.
In his youth there'd been a Rhonda.
Who'd enticed him made him fonder.
But the tribe had gone on walkabout the next day .
Though really none the wiser, he set out from the Isa,
Went to Brisbane met a shiela sweet and gay.
It was down in the Valley, she had whiskers this O'Malley,
blue round the jowls, Joe loved her anyway.
She took him home to her place into the bedroom they raced,
Joe's mouth it opened slackjawed in suprise .
For it seems she wasn't dinkum through the haze of grog he's drinking.
Saw parts of her to trade for many lies.
This city woman strange wanted money had no change,
Took his fifty as she pushed him out the door .
Hooked like a dog to mange, could a wedding he arrange?
But she dumped him anyhow cos Joe was poor.
So back to Lake Elisa went this sodden whinging miser.
Drowning sorrows O.P. rum, drinking bottles by the score,
Just a little sad but wiser, now he'd never leave Elisa. So he drank himself to death

Down on my luck again--it's nuthin' new.
Just outside of Pecos, with a dream that's overdue.
But I got my entry fee, here in my boots,
and I don't intend to lose.
All broken up again, it's nuthin' new.
Just outside of Pecos, with a busted rib, or two.
But I got my entry fee, here in my boots,
and I don't intend to lose.
There's a bronc, I know, waitin' here in Pecos,
wantin' to throw, every cowboy in Pecos,
I been throwed a time, or two.
It's the rodeo, takin' me to Pecos,
but you never know, this might be my last Pecos,
since I met you.
Wonder if that bronc ever could be rode?
Just outside of Pecos, and my feet are gettin' cold.
But I got my entry fee, here in my boots, and I don't intend to lose.
I'll ride that bronc, I know,
I'll ride that bronc, I know.

The buffalo are gone
but close your eyes
on a stormy night
and you'll find them
thunder'ng o'er the plains again
The tall prairie grass
has given way to progress
Skyscrapers & super highways
but when the wind blows
you can feel 'em
brush across your skin
The proud warriors
whose lives were given
in protecting the old ways
when I close my eyes
Rise up to ride again
What it must've been
to see the great buffalo
grazing on tall prairie grass
and hear the warrior's hunt cry
I'll close my eyes & dream

In a room stark & white
A nightmare he will ride tonight
Twisted sheets in a rider's grip
as he settles in for that fateful trip
silently he screams & shouts
This time there'll be no turn out
The final clash of beast & man
In the mind's arena plays out again
Once was a time he was among the best
Until that Brahma stepped on his chest
Now he's locked in a ride he can't quit
as his wife & his family at his bedside sit
How he longs to be up & out of this bed
Away from the demons in his head
But you can't drown a nightmare in morphine
And every night he rigs up again
In a room stark & white
She'll replay the ride tonight
"Just one more ride & I'm done
I've got to help raise our son"
He'd said as he climbed in the chute
and straddled that Brahma brute
With a nod & a prayer, he marked out
His last would be his best, no doubt
Then, with a sudden twist & a flash of horn
The cowboy from his seat was torn
She watched him fall & struggle to rise
Numb to the crowd's horrified cries
Now she sits here each night without rest
Cradling their baby boy close to her chest
How she longs to have him hold her near
Later, she reaches for the bottle to chase the fear
But you can't drown a nightmare in whiskey
And every night she rigs up again
Under the arena's bright lights
He'll dance with a nightmare tonight
Wearing a greasepaint smile to hide the pain
He plays out that fateful ride again
One step out of rhythm & rhyme
He'd lost the race against Brahma & time
Word's haunt him still of a Cowboy's last request
After that Brahma had stomped on his chest "Tell Katie I love her & I'm sorry for this"
"If I'd listened to her, I'd not be in this mess"
"You & the boys take care of her & my son"
"I hear the chopper landing, guess this ride is done"
How he wishes he could run that race once more
The memory pushes him hard, it won't be ignored
But you can't mask a nightmare with greasepaint
And every night he rigs up again
A wild Bullrider, loved one or clown
no matter the poison the memory won't drown
Nightmares, whiskey, greasepaint or morphine
Can't kill the demons that ride through your dreams

Nice tray
I purchased this tray since I thought it was designed for a Yeti Roadie 20. I was hoping that there was going to be some sort of built it ability to mound it inside so it would stay above the bottom of the cooler. Unfortunately it did not come with one. I ended up just rigging it up with some fishing line and it worked the same. The tray is extremely well built and seems like it will last a life time.

OCOEE, Fla. - Orlando police have arrested two more suspects on Friday in the fatal Ocoee invasion of a man who was slated to testify in another home invasion trial.
Donnell Godfrey, 24, and Emmanuel Wallace, 26, have been charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and armed burglary in the killing of Alex Zaldivar.
Zaldivar, 19, was killed in the shootings at the home on Bernadino Drive south of Orlando Avenue in Ocoee back in September.
Deputies said Zaldivar and his roommates, Remington Campos 23, and Brienna Campos 20, was set to testify against Bessman Okafor, who has also been arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Peres on Iran: "Mother of terror in Mid-East"
Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres responded to reports of Iran's development of the Shihab 3, which has a range of 1,200 kilometers, by saying that this development "does not make us tranquil and quiet.
"We regret very much the intentions and policies of Iran, and see that the liberal wing in Iran is losing its effect on Iranian policy. We hope Iran will come back to itself as a country of culture and peace," Peres said.
Peres, speaking at a press conference with visiting Czech Foreign Minister Jan Kavan, described the Islamic Republic of Iran as "the mother of terror in the Middle East", according to The Jerusalem Post.
He added Israel is aware of Iran's attempts to develop short, medium and long range missiles, and are "contemplating the development" of a missile with a 10,000 km range.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister, Binyamin Ben Eliezer on Sunday issued a fresh warning about the "Iranian threat", following Iran's successful testing of Shihab-3. "We are on new alert about Iran's weapons program which constitutes a danger not only for Israel but for all the region," the minister said on Israel public radio.
"There is no reason to give in to panic (as) everything is under control. Israel and its army are very strong," Ben Eliezer said. (Albawaba.com)

More transportation options are needed
In response to "What fuels Brown bullet-train fixation?" (Editorial, June 12): Thank you for providing a forum for much needed public dialogue on rapid transit.
It seems you don't care for high-speed rail or rapid transit, but can we begin the dialogue with more facts and without name-calling and vilification? What is the alternative to rapid transit? How else can we reduce air pollution, gridlocked freeways, car overpopulation and continued dependence on imported oil? More freeways and more cars are not the answer.

I don't buy your argument against fast trains. A good life includes choices. America, California and San Diego deserve more choices in transportation, not less. You seem to support less choice, less freedom. Rapid transportation and more choice can also be good for development. – Alan Ridley, Chula Vista
Return to using nature's clothes dryer
In response to "How to save energy, money during shutdown" (Business, June 15): We will reduce our use, but we can do more. We can bring back the old outdoor clothesline.
I remember the fresh smell of clothes dried in the sun and wind. The clothesline was replaced by the clothes dryer, one of the most expensive-to-operate appliances in our households.
With our sunny SoCal weather, it is plain common sense to take advantage of it. – Marci Taylor, Imperial Beach

Cape Town - The special investigating unit (SIU) has been inundated with new cases revealing staggering corruption in the police, the public broadcaster, the land reform and housing subsidy systems, state departments and municipalities, MPs heard on Wednesday.
SIU head Willie Hofmeyr told Parliament's portfolio committee on justice: "We have received a flood of new cases. Some of them are very big."
He outlined 16 new proclamations received by the anti-graft unit in the past financial year, the most ever in its 15-year history, before commenting wryly that "few professionals in South Africa are honest".
The SIU was investigating the entire procurement chain in the public works department and had so far found that R35m was paid to entities in which officials had undeclared business interests.
The probe also found that an official had signed a lease for a residential property in Pretoria for R217 000 a month without the relevant approval, Hofmeyr said, stressing that it was "a single house, a big and expensive house but just one house".
The contract value to date exceeded R7m.
Serious criminality
SIU investigators have also found that the police's procurement process for the building or renovating of 33 police stations to the tune of R330m was deeply flawed.
Hofmeyr said at several stations the work was not put out to tender but contracts were instead awarded on what he facetiously called a "three quote" system.
"You have one quote for the desks and another quote for half the bricks, and another quote for the other half of the bricks. It is not, I think, a very desirable system."
The probe was focusing on Pienaar, Hazyview, Brighton Beach and eSikhawini police stations and had also found BEE fronting and instances where SAPS officials had interests in the contracted companies.
The longest-running project on the SIU's plate, its investigation into public housing corruption, has shown that at least half of all projects undertaken by the department of human settlements were "problematic in some way".
Investigators were probing contracts worth R2bn. Contractors were being paid for houses which did not exist at all, were extensively incomplete, seriously defective or fewer than the number agreed upon.
Hofmeyr said the SIU's probe into the cash-strapped SABC had uncovered "serious criminality" with R2.4bn paid out to businesses in which 20 company employees held interests between 2007 and 2010.
The unit opened eight criminal cases against staff members of which five had been finalised and handed to the National Prosecuting Authority.
Hofmeyr said the unit not only uncovered extensive corruption in the Tshwane and Ekurhuleni metros but had been asked by the national government to investigate all 23 municipalities in North West province.
In Tshwane, it found that 65 officials had interests in companies doing business with the metro that had received payments totalling R185m between 2007 and 2010.
Officials colluded with service providers, paid them for work that was not done and tampered with tender specifications.
At Ekurhuleni, "a number of people are in the process of being dismissed" for wrongdoing that included a director signing off on invoices to the value of R12.4m for services that were not delivered.
Endemic abuse
Hofmeyr said it was heartening that government departments were increasingly calling on the SIU to probe endemic abuse and noted that the department of land reform and rural development had asked it to scrutinise the entire land reform process.
He was expecting it to ask that the unit do the same on the land restitution system.
The land reform investigation saw the SIU conduct its biggest ever data swoop, with investigators effectively seizing more than 50 million documents to track fraudulent or irregular awarding of grants and funds.
With the help of the Hawks and the Asset Forfeiture Unit, the SIU has seized farms and assets in KwaZulu-Natal worth R50m and brought fraud and corruption charges against a businessman and three officials from the department.
In another new probe, the department of arts and culture was found to have incurred unauthorised expenditure of R42m related to the 2010 FIFA World Cup
Hofmeyr trod carefully on questions relating to the Public Protector's report on the R500m contract for the police's new headquarters in Pretoria, in which she found that the deal was fatally flawed and fingered national police commissioner Bheki Cele as the organisation's chief accounting officer.
But he conceded that on occasion the SIU had been "crippled" by the lack of co-operation from accounting officers, and like the protector, suggested that Treasury should step in.
"The public protector's solution was that Treasury should look at it and take the necessary steps, which may mean persuading the accounting officer to do it ... they carry a lot of persuasive value."
And this ladies and gentleman is only the tip of the ice berg. We desperately need good accountable governance. South Africa is on life support. We need to act NOW. If this doesn't open your eyes nothing will. Vote DA !!
Do you really believe that "they" would allow themselves to be voted out?
This is the same reason why all the despots and their trough buddies in the rest of Africa NEVER leave office when voted out.Let's be honest would you just give up all the bling?.........
These are the early days of a dictatorial one party state, corruption and a dysfunctional state are early symptoms.
The only solution for anyone who wants a better life for themselves and their family is to leave this country,taking their skills,money and dynamism with them.....fighting a loosing battle here.
I believe they broke into the Union Buildings last night and stole the Local Govt Election RESULTS due to take plasce on the 18th of May!
White Rhino, don't you think that apart from using the power of the ballot box, Willie must get the money back? At present the system is: I stole R 10 million and got fired and now I am going to retire or I stole R500k and was appointed as President of the country, or I helped Old Habits Mugabe to steal an election in 2002 and now I am a special envoy in the Sudan. What I about - I stole and now I have to see my body to the Vietnam Rats in Pollsmoore Prison to get food and a hand out to pay for my 4 wives and 26 (and still counting) children? Then Prison corruption may also end!
The very thought that the DA is gaining voters and is growing stronger must be causing many sleepness nights in the top echelons of the ANC. The deperation is showing, they can't allow the DA to get stronger because more and more skeletons will be uncovered. Correctional services need to start building a lot more prisons to house all these criminals.
And if the government wants to stop the spread of corruption and mismanagement, it will have to act VERY soon. Time is running out, the money box is getting empty very fast and soon SA might just be another African statistic. For those whites who can emigrate to greener fields, I would suggest that they keep such an opportunity in mind. I mean, why try and make a living in a country where the government kicks you in the teeth - patriotism be damned!
Sounds like the soap Opera " Days of our lives " , and sadly , these ARE the days of our lives !!!!!!!!!!
How the beautifull country once known as South Africa has been raped and plundered .What a sin !
Surely something is going to happen to change all this !
God took Israel out of Egypt in a week, but it took 40 years to take Egypt out of Israel. In fact, He could not. He had to let the whole lot die in the desert and try again with their children.
40 years.
And then the giants, and the philistines.
In 40 years a train trip from Joz to Cape town will cost 650 Yuan, and you must submit your paperwork to the party chief 24 months in advance. Thursdays will be special, then you will get half a cup of beans with your cup of rice. You will look forward to Thursdays all week. It will be the best day of the week, Thursdays, 40 years from now.
Vuzi, loved your comment. Only thing is that the train will stop at Colesberg. Border control will be very strict.
Surprise surprise! Anu ANC supporter care to comment?
are u freeking nuts they are busy counting the money
Eish, Leave us alone to make money while we can, where we can and how we can. We are not well educated, so our opportunities to get rich are limited.
If breach of trust becomes a common practice in a society, that society is self destructive.
I do hope that SA has enough back boned people left to withstand the temptation of easy money.
Will there now be the predictable silence from all the usual ANC apologists, or will this be blamed on apartheid as well. Perhaps the investigation been taken out of context? The mindless masses will continue, however, to vote these idiots into power and get the government they fully deserve. VIVA!
Unluckily we are the cannon fodder on which they feed.
all of this means nothing if the guilty parties get away with it, eg. Saambou bank fraud and winnie mandela, found guilty but in parliament now. These people steal from all South Africans, make all poorer.
Countrymen, we have to save our country! It' really becoming a gravely serious issue now, and a lot of damage has already been done. They are robbing us around every turn and corner, at every opportunity, without shame, without guilt. Everything is becoming more and more expensive because of their wasteful mismanagement and their greedy self-enrichment. Everything is breaking or falling apart around us. Madmen and warmongers are left to roam freely and spread their vile rhetoric, gather supporters desparate for a sense of direction, belonging and purpose, and to threaten what little remains of the sanity and safety we have. WE have had many opportunities to change for the better, the SWC the most recent, yet the ANC government not only squanders these, but also bite the hand that feeds in the process. We still have a few opportunities left to turn things around, and the rescue our beloved country.
"few professionals in South Africa are honest" - They seem a bit confused here, all the examples they list are public sector and not professionals at all. There are plenty of real professionals that are honest, although the government is chasing us away at an alarming rate.
Oh, George Orwell, what a brilliant mind you had!
The Seven Commandments are laws that were supposed to keep order and ensure elementary Animalism within Animal Farm. The Seven Commandments were designed to unite the animals together against the humans and prevent animals from following the humans' evil habits. Since not all of the animals can remember them, they are boiled down into one basic statement: "Four legs good, two legs bad!" (with wings counting as legs for this purpose, Snowball arguing that wings count as legs as they are objects of propulsion rather than manipulation), which the sheep constantly repeat, distracting the crowd from the lies of the pigs. The original commandments were:
1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
3. No animal shall wear clothes.
4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
7. All animals are equal.
Later, Napoleon and his pigs are corrupted by the absolute power they hold over the farm. To maintain their popularity with the other animals, Squealer secretly paints additions to some commandments to benefit the pigs while keeping them free of accusations of breaking the laws (such as "No animal shall drink alcohol" having "to excess" appended to it and "No animal shall sleep in a bed" with "with sheets" added to it). The changed commandments are as follows, with the changes bolded:
1. No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.
2. No animal shall drink alcohol to excess.
3. No animal shall kill any other animal without cause.
Eventually the laws are replaced with "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others", and "Four legs good, two legs better!"
Friends laughed when I estimated R100 million per DAY was being stolen. Now I thinks it's more ?
This is the African way - its in our culture
There is a saying that if the top is corrupt it will filter down. How the people can vote for a President that is a criminal is beyond me. The only way forward is to Vote them out of power and see that they are investigated and charged for their deeds. Worst of all they preach to the masses about corruption and crime yet they are involved. They do not set any example to anyone. The example they are setting is you can steal, you can murder, peverty is okay etc. My 2 cents.
So what happens once the corrupt have been fired ? will the next lot of tycoons be honest ? like hell , they have a culture of stealing .
whats new pussy cat wa wa wa
You got to admit pre 1994 did not have a patch on this lot.
Of cause it's all down to the animal farm and it's only when corruption cases dish out long prison sentences that they will get the message.
It is always the same – suspended on full pay while being investigated – then under the carpet with closed ranks coming into play. The trouble is the idiots that do register and vote keep the rubbish in power, but we must feel sorry for them with all the suffering and hardship over the ten million years of apartheid.
The great pity is that most of these cases will not be seen or heard by most of the population as they do not have access to the media. In the case of the SABC, information will not be broadcast as it is government controlled.
Nothing surprises me in communist souf africa anymore, between a corrupt government and police force, anything "legal" has to be dissected and scrutinized before being believed, the biggest crime syndicate is the police force, to the few good men in the police force, I salute both of you.
Another very good reason to me never to return back and live in South Africa again.What kind of sick people do have out there in the Republic?This survey/probe was from the SIU not even from some wannabe hump hump newspaper tabloid.The country,South Africa,is shockingly immoral at best if this sort of behaviour by officials and highranking people in society can be going on and maintained.One really is embarrass by South Africa as a whole,even though it's certain elements within it's borders that does the K@K,and shame on you idiots and co for making the country look like K@K.
Stay where you are Marco...its much better where you are...please dont come back. Please. Thanks
Stay where you are Marco. We do not like you, we do not want you here, not even for a holiday. Please do not even do SA things like braai, or go to Nandos. We absolutely beg you.
You've left the game so stop trying to play.
Please dont come back
You people disgust me. You should be begging qualified people to come back and help not acting like spoilt little children that are hurt that someone broke up with them.
If only it were people like you that left and the good ones that stayed behind instead of the other way around...
Sorry Marco, but with the replies to your comment you'll be able to notice how serious the brain drain is.
Marco please man don't even come for a holiday - which you plan for every year! I live happily in Cape Town – I've got it all…perfect city, perfect weather, good pals and awesome family that sticks like boere only can – I'm lucky to have the best Cape Town chick by my side! I'm blest with a challenging job and good income. I don't own a million rand house, nor a 100 thousand rand car but I thank the good Lord every morning for me to walk my two feet on South African soil….please don't make "overseas countries" think they are any better…coz it aint..and you know it best! You wake up there each morning! Enjoy the freezing cold nights and days! All of the best to you! a Castle cheers!
@Chris: My what a small mind you have, where do you think your precious cape town in which you've "got it all" gets a large percentage of its money from. Tourism, many of whom are ex-pats, go ahead keep chasing tourists away and see how long you remain "blest". Grow up - I feel for the poor woman who actually puts up with you.
Very predictable anti-expat comments as usual. Don't you idiots know any other tunes? Marco, you are unfortunately quite right. There is no reason to go back. Chris, wake the hell up mate.
If morality could be measured on a Scale, the morality of this country is worse now then during the apartheid years - and we all know how immoral that was!!
We're heading into a 'deep, very deep, black (no pun intended) hole.
TIA! Enjoy everyone.
The Racist ANC MUST OUT and the extremely non-racist and effective opposition party take over and remedy all these matters IMMEDIATELY
THIS WILL DEMAND International Assistance from all thos countries that so readily helped rid SA from the apartheid racist regime, to rid SA from this black racist regime before it becomes as bad or worse than Zimbabwe.
AVAAZ Where are you?
United Nations - where are you?
So, is this what the "struggle" was all about. What happened to the lofty ideals of freeing the masses from an oppressive apartheid regime and lifting them out of poverty and squalor? All I can see is another regime taking the opportunity to rob state coffers while the masses continue suffering? Is this not also oppressive? Is this not worse than the previous regime as it is being perpetrated by those who profess to have the very same masses' interests at heart!!
The extent to which corruption has taken root in government departments and parastatals makes one sick to the stomach. Every year the Minister of Finance threatens taxpayers with all kinds of penalties and punishments for non-compliance while most of us dutifully comply with the tax legislation. What for?? So that a bunch of rogues deployed by the ANC can dip their grubby paws into the cookie jar!! Mr. Gordhan, can you still justify why the ANC should be in government?? Can you sleep at night knowing that you are associated with this sick bunch of thieves?? Your organisation is no better than the regimes of Libya, Egypt, and others - beware the backlash of the masses, which will eventually see through this scam that the ANC today calls a government!
To the so-called Cabinet of Ministers - Shame and Damnation on the lot of you for allowing this to happen. I still remember the disgust I felt watching the cabinet CHEER the announcement of the disbanding of the Scorpions – now we know why!
As for Zuma, it is not surprising that this would happen seeing that he refused to go on trial for corruption to clear his name... makes you think, doesn't it??
If we ever get to the situation where corruption in government is rooted out, taxes are properly managed for the betterment of all, and harmonious relations exist between labour and the private sector, it will probably be difficult to find a black man who ever voted for the ANC!!!
Well said there, I appreciate your post and the facts. It is all true!!!!
Thank YOU!!!!!!
Well said. The 'struggle' is now only about self-interest - the masses are once again left out in the cold. It is embarrassing to be a citizen of such a corrupt, immoral lot of thieves.
Then you get these poor idiots that will vote ANC again,I say to their supporters -don't strike, dont't protest and dont complaine you deserve what you got A ROTTEN GOVERMANT!!!!.
This again proves that the government accounting system is non-existent. You try ordering a packet of crayons in a big corparate industry - you're better off just buying it yourself. Yet, somehow, people in government have access to millions and can squander it away without anyone worrying about paper work or power of authority???
"SIU probes staggering corruption cases" , you only waking up now ??? what do you expect with the ANC in power .
We knew this. Not the details but the corruption. But good on the SIU, continue to catch these bugeers, eventually the ANC will have no people left as they will all be where they belong, in jail.
YES.....How many of you complaining now voted this!!!!!! Who is sorry now!
You can blame this all on apartheid!How do you expect people who never had anything to just be satisfied with 'something'.
It is like letting children loose in a sweet shop and saying "please don't take all the sweets....just what you need...no more!" ...and no-one to check on them....
Shame...I am sooooo sorry that apartheid was so bad for some of the blacks of SA.........look how you are suffering now.....shame!!
The Receiver Of Revenue lost his legitimacy to collect taxes when all these monies does not get used for the reason collecting it. When a big part of it gets misused, stolen or just got missing. Remember the "dealer and stealer" story. You can't, on a mandate held up by the guilty ones, collect monies when they are the main culprits. If it was an individual or company they would have been guilty under some laws like conspiracy.
Sadly the results of all this theft and corruption hurts the poorest of people much harder than it hurts the tax payer or big businesses, what we need is an opposition party who can get the message across to the masses, unluckily overfed, stinking rich whiteys aren't the answer, we need a party that the people can relate to and who relate to the people, that just doesn't exist at the moment.
Is there anybody in all forms of goverment that is not corrupt?
I think that each and every goverment employee or minister should be screened to evaluate their honesty and if they can perform the job that is expected of them.
At the end of the day, when all the investigations have taken place, and all the reports have been completed, who is going to actually DO something. Words, written or spoken, are all well and good, but its actions that count. Fire incompetents, take criminal action against fraudsters, and confiscate all assets that have been obtained using OUR money.
Like I said: Timing is everything. Watch out for spectacular ANC "successes" leading up to 18 May 2011.
The greed is beyond belief. Let it go on because it cannot be stopped as the rot is right from the top to the bottom. We'll see what happens when the piggy bank is empty. You cannot vote the ANC out so the only option is to leave rather go down with the stinking, sinking ship. What a joke!
This 'investigating' reminds me of the deck-chair arranging on the Titanic. The ANC could well go down the same way as governments in the North of Africa.
Border Post and Home Affairs CORRUPTION:-
How can criminally corrupt 'Nelson Mavie' be allowed to enter and work and live in SA on a 30 day tourist visa for a year and a half in Gauteng & Soweto.
WHO IS PAYING WHOM, and whose job has he removed from a South African.
That's the political dividend the ANC has brought! As if that is not enough, they want to nationalize mines, banks and farms. And we have a President who warns judges not to interfere. It is a disgrace .... the kind wars are made of.
Okay, it would be nice to think that Zuma's so-called fight against corruption could succeed once Zuma himself - and his ANC leaders - get the boot. But it's no use pruning the leaves while the bulb continues to flourish underground...
The bulb in this case is bigger than the ANC, for our society has become rotten to the core. At the heart of the rot is a wholesale rejection of God.
64 THOUSAND cvil servants have been found to have "illegally /fraudulently accessed" state grants!(STOLE!!) Have they been fired???NO!! they are allowed to pay back the stolen amounts, ( without interest) and keep their jobs! And Zuma talks about getting tough on corruption! What a joke! This is the twit who received about R2 million in back handers from Shabby Shaik and apparently asked for a R500 000 a year bribe from an arms manufacturer!! and what about the travelgate crooks???Still in their jobs! The ANC is now just a joke! god help us!
SA citizens should stop paying tax, because we fuel corruption. Right?

Originally written for the William M Thomas Planetarium's website in June 2012.
On Tuesday, June 5th Venus will cross the face of the Sun from 3:06 PM to 9:45 PM as seen from Bakersfield—see the graphic above. The graphic shows the path that Venus will take across the Sun as seen during our afternoon, as well as, how big (er, small) Venus will appear on the Sun's disk. The next time Venus will transit the Sun as seen by anyone on the Earth will be in 105 years, in the year 2117. On June 5th, all of North America, all of Central America and northwestern South America will be able to view the transit in our hemisphere. Most of Europe, eastern half of Africa, all of Asia and Australia will be able to see it during their morning of June 6th (remember that they are many timezones ahead of us). See the "Viewing the Sun Safely" section below for how to safely view the Sun during the transit. Only special solar filters are safe enough for directly looking at the Sun—dark sunglasses, even several put together, are NOT safe for your eyes! Here in Bakersfield, the Kern Astronomical Society will have solar telescopes set up at Russo's Books in the Marketplace Mall from a little before 3 PM to sunset. Stop by for a look! It won't happen again for another 105 years.
Besides being an extraordinarily rare phenomenon, Venus transits hold a special place in the history of finding the scale of the universe. Using trigonometry, astronomers centuries ago were able to figure out the proportional spacing of the planets in the solar system all relative to the Earth's distance from the Sun. They knew, for example, that Mars is 1.5 times farther from the Sun than is the Earth, Jupiter is 5.2 times farther from the Sun than is the Earth, etc. What they didn't know was the actual distance between the Earth and the Sun. The Earth-Sun distance is also needed in finding the distances to the stars. In the 1830s, astronomers were able to determine distances to the stars using the parallax effect and trigonometry.
The basic idea behind parallax and using it to calculate distances (which is the name of the main game in astronomy) can be illustrated using your thumb. Hold your thumb up in front of your face about 6 inches from your nose and look at it with one eye and then the other. The thumb will appear to move with respect to whatever's in the background---that's the parallax effect. Do the same thing with your thumb held at arm's length and you'll notice that the parallax is smaller. If you did not know the distance to your thumb but you knew the distance between your two eyes, you could get the distance to your thumb by measuring how much of an angle by which your thumb shifted (get a protractor) and some trigonometry.
For the stars, we look at the nearby stars from opposite sides of the Earth's orbit and measure the size of the parallactic shift. Once you know a couple of angles and the length of one side of a triangle, you can get the rest of the triangle sides. The side of the triangle for the stars we need to know is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Once we have the distances to the nearby stars, we use them to calibrate methods of finding distances for more distant objects such as the rest of the stars, nebulae, galaxies, quasars, etc. In order to determine the masses, 3D motion, sizes (diameter and volume), reflectivity, power output, and other properties of the planets, stars, the Milky Way, and other galaxies and compare them with the Earth we need to determine their distances. Their distances are also critical for determining the ages of the stars and the galaxies in which they reside plus finding out the age of the universe. When you trace all of this line of reasoning back to the start, you see that it comes back to knowing the distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is the fundamental baseline for our knowledge of the universe—the Astronomical Unit.
Edmund Halley (of Halley's Comet fame) figured out a way to use the parallax effect and trigonometry in determining the Astronomical Unit. His idea involves very careful time measurements of how long it takes to travel across the face of the Sun as seen from various parts of the Earth. Those different timings can be used to calculate the parallax angle of Venus and trigonometry gives us the distance to Venus and the distance from the Earth to the Sun follows from the proportional spacings of the planets worked out by Copernicus and Kepler. Nowadays we use radar to get the distance to Venus and trigonometry then gives us the distance to the Sun if we also measure the angular separation of Venus from the Sun on our sky when we do the radar measurement. (Trigonometry sure comes in handy!) Using radar to directly measure the distance to the Sun wouldn't work because the radio waves would get absorbed by the gas and the Sun's own radio emission would overwhelm any weak reflected radio wave anyway.
On June 5th you can participate in a 2012-version of Halley's method with your smartphone (iPhone or Android) by simply tapping the screen when you see Venus is all the way inside the one edge of the Sun and/or just touching the far edge of the Sun (when seen through your own solar filter or projected image). The phone app also has a simulation mode to enable you to practice using the app well before the time of the transit. Your observations will be combined with thousands of other observers from all over most of the world. Go to http://transitofvenus.org to download the phone app. Those of you without a smartphone or cannot make it to the KAS Venus Transit party at Russo's but have access to the web can participate in the transit events at NASA's Transit of Venus website and Astronomers Without Borders Transit of Venus website. The NASA site will have a webcast from Hawaii as will the The Exploratorium. However, do not use the transit phone app with the webcasts unless you happen to be at the specific Hawaii sites from which the webcasts are taking place! The transit phone app is to be used to log Venus timings as seen from your location.
The Sun is extremely bright and you can damage your eyes within a few seconds if you look at the Sun without protection. To view the Sun during a partial or annular eclipse or planet transit you need to either look at a projection of the Sun or use a special-purpose solar filter—very dark sunglasses do NOT protect your eyes. Other things to NOT use (they are NOT safe) include: smoked glass, stacked sunglasses, crossed polarizing shades, photographic neutral-density filters, or a filter designed to block visible light for infrared pictures. The items in the previous sentence do not block the UV or IR that can also damage your eyes. What follows are safe ways of viewing the Sun.
The simplest thing to use is a pinhole projection. Poke a hole in an index card with a thumb tack or sharp pencil, face the card toward the Sun and hold a second card three or four feet behind it in the front card's shadow. A big hole makes a bright but fuzzy image and a small hole made a dim but sharp image. You can reduce the daylight glare on the viewing card by enclosing the setup in a long box.
A sharper and bigger Sun image can be made by projecting the Sun's image through a small telescope or binoculars onto a white card behind the telescope or binoculars. Do NOT look through the telescope or binoculars without a special-purpose solar filter! You will need to have the telescope or binoculars on a mount. Point the telescope or binoculars toward the Sun using the device's shadow. When you are pointed at the Sun, the telescope's shadow will be smallest. At that time a bright image of the Sun will shine from the eyepiece onto the card. Turn your focus knob and adjust the distance of the card from the telescope until the Sun is sharp and as big as you want. The graphic below shows the Sun during a solar eclipse (with the dark New Moon).
For direct viewing you can use an arc-welder's glass of shade #14 (NOT a lower-numbered shade) or special "eclipse glasses". High-quality and safe but inexpensive eclipse glasses are available from Thousand Oaks Optical and Rainbow Symphony, both U.S. manufacturers. The best views are through a properly-filtered telescope. The Kern Astronomical Society will have solar-filtered telescopes set out at Russo's Books in the Marketplace Mall from a little before 3 PM to sunset on June 5th.
Solar filters for your telescope or binoculars can be found at Astro-Physics, Thousand Oaks Optical, and Orion Telescopes & Binoculars. The solar filters come as either wispy sheets of metallized film, metallized black polymer plastic, or metallized glass with the metallized film ones usually providing the very best view but all being very good. These filters fit over the front of the telescope or binoculars. Do NOT use small filters that fit over the eyepiece since the magnified and concentrated sun's energy can easily shatter an eyepiece filter (and then fry your eyeball). Below are some pictures I took with a solar filter of metallized film over a 300-mm telephoto lens with a 1.4X extender (so effective focal length 420 mm) from Bakersfield in late afternoon. Select the images to bring up a full-size image.
Large sunspot group now almost all rotated away from us—look at 5 o'clock position at the edge.

The Public Service Commission in West Virginia will meet Tuesday to begin hearing Appalachian Power's request to purchase a coal plant.
Ohio-based American Electric Power wants to transfer its Mitchell facility near Moundsville to Appalachian Power, a Charleston subsidiary.
AEP wants to transfer their John Amos plant near St. Albans to Appalachian Power as well.
Appalachian Power and other parties to the case will present evidence to the Commission Tuesday through Thursday in the proposed $1 billion transaction.
West Virginia Citizen Action Group and other groups intervened and are asking the agency to block the sale. They argue is not in the best interest of Appalachian Power ratepayers and that the utility company did not adequately evaluate alternatives.

He is the first recruit for new coach Eric Wolford.
By Joe Scalzo
YOUNGSTOWN — Eric Wolford's first recruit for Youngstown State is no stranger to Stambaugh Stadium.
Ursuline senior Allen Jones, who played his home games at the Ice Castle, verbally committed to Youngstown State on Monday night.
"I want to help YSU get back on track and back to winning championships," said Jones, whose Irish have won Division V state titles the past two seasons. "We want to show everybody what Youngstown football is about."
Jones, who finished his career with 4,393 yards and 64 touchdowns, was a three-year starter for the Irish, helping them to three straight Division V state title games.
Jones has known Wolford since his sophomore year, when the Penguins' new coach was at Illinois. Wolford kept in touch while at South Carolina last season and escalated his interest when he was hired last month.
Although the familiarity with the stadium and Wolford's alma mater didn't hurt, Jones said it came down to his relationship with the coach.
"There was real excitement when I found out he was going to YSU," said Jones, who also had offers from Illinois State and Villanova. "It was just a real good process."
Jones is the third Irish senior to commit to a Division I school, joining LB Dawalyn Harper (Toledo) and DL/LB Jamel Turner (Ohio State), who is attending Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy and is set to graduate in May.
Jones rushed for 2,379 yards on 283 carries last fall (second-best in school history behind Terrance Graves) and set single-season (31 touchdowns) and career (390 points) scoring records at Ursuline.
"He's just an all-around complete back," said Ursuline coach Dan Reardon. "He's got good speed, good quickness and tremendous strength.
"He's a kid that finds a way to produce yards. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about."
Jones plans to study special education and wants to work with autistic children.
He's been involved with a related program at Ursuline since his junior year, working with kids aged 6 and 7.
"I love doing it," he said. "I've had a kid who was about 7 years old and I loved seeing him smile. His mom would always tell me he couldn't wait until the weekend to be around me."
Jones has played his share of big games at YSU, but is looking forward to an atmosphere that even Mooney-Ursuline can't match.
"I went to some YSU games and it was a totally different atmosphere," he said. "It should be fun."
