In light of last night's announcement from the Philadelphia Flyers that Chris Pronger will miss the remainder of the season and playoffs because of severe post-concussion syndrome, Peter Laviolette made these comments before the start of their 4-3 victory in Montreal.
"It's really tough news about Chris. I think first and foremost we wish for him to have good health and anything after that I guess we'll sort it out.
It's hard to replace a guy like that. He plays 26, 27 minutes and there's no one individual in the organization that we can find somewhere and replace him."
He's right. There isn't. Fortunately, there's a TSN panelist and former NHL head coach who's willing to close his eyes, put an index finger to his temple and concoct a solution to this dilemma.
Here's some genius courtesy of Marc Crawford's official Twitter account:
"If I'm Paul Holmgren, I trade ASAP for Sergei Gonchar. Give them a young prospect the same age as their developing core players." #MaybeSchenn
On Crawford's Twitter profile, it lists him as a 'Former NHL head coach and NHL on TSN hockey analyst.' Nowhere do the words 'out of touch' or 'unintentional comedy' appear.
It seems quite obvious that when Crawford forms an irrationally favorable, he maintains it for at least twenty years.
How else could one explain the hedgehog-like haircut that he's seemingly had forever or his questionable approbation of Sergei Gonchar?
In Crawford's defence, Gonchar has rebounded considerably from his disappointing 2010-11 campaign. However, if Marc Crawford wants to be gainfully employed by another NHL organization anytime soon, I'd probably refrain from making absurd suggestions about moving Brayden Schenn -- who is not only one of the top prospects in hockey but the centerpiece of the Flyers' Mike Richards trade return -- for a 37-year old defenceman whose resolve is softer than the tips of Crawford's gelled coif. (Note: In fairness to Gonch, he's still a very serviceable second pairing guy who can put up some good offensive numbers on the power play.)
It is a time like this I wish that every GM followed Mike Gillis' footsteps and created their own Twitter account. If he had one, I imagine Paul Holmgren's feed would look something like this:
"If I'm Marc Crawford and the gold medal's on the line, I don't go to Ray Bourque in a shootout." #MaybeGretzky
All joking aside, Philadelphia has the potential to be a great trade partner for Ottawa. With Pronger going on the LTIR indefinitely, it creates enough cap space to fit one of the Senators' veteran defencemen. So long as Bryan Murray doesn't kick the can on another Columbus Blue Jackets' top ten selection like Jakub Voracek, I'd be interested to see what he can get for a guy like Filip Kuba or the aforementioned Gonchar.
Kyle Turris Close to Being Dealt
If you've been following former third overall draft selection's progress since returning to the Coyotes, odds are you probably noticed Darren Dreger's tweets this morning that "Things are heating up on the Kyle Turris trade front. Sources indicate a deal could come down today" and "Told the Calgary Flames are out of the Turris hunt. Ottawa still has interest. Wpg isn't in. Toronto is in its freeze (lol)..."
It's worth noting that Turris didn't play in last night's game against the Oilers. It was the second consecutive game in which he was made a healthy scratch. One has to wonder if he was held out for precautionary reasons because he hadn't produced offensively or whether it was because trade talks had progressed with another team.
Pierre Lebrun threw in his two cents on Turris via Twitter, "Am told the Senators and Coyotes have spoken this week on Turris but I don't get the sense that Ottawa is the front-runner right now..."and "Ottawa would be a great fit for Turris, slotting in as No. 2 center behind Spezza.... not sure if Senators can pull it off or not though."
I've been dubbed the chairman of the "Bring Turris to Ottawa campaign" by James Gordon but it's worth mentioning that I'm only in favor of bringing in the former third overall draft selection if the price is low.
Adam McQuaid Fined
Brendan Shanahan fined the Bruins defenceman $2,500 for this knee-on-knee hit on Nick Foligno Wednesday night. For what it's worth Foligno believed that the 5-minutes and a game was punishment enough for his former Sudbury Wolves junior teammate.
News and Notes From Practice
- According to everyone, head coach Paul MacLean told the media today that Kuba and Gonchar will not return tonight to face the Penguins. He is hopeful however that they could both make their returns next Tuesday against Buffalo.
- Alex Auld gets the start tonight. He faces off against Brent Johnson who's 8-1-1 with a 1.99 GAA and a .940 SV% in his career against Ottawa.

Skylar Neese Missing, Family Fearful as FBI Joins Search
Skylar Neese has been missing since July 7, and her family is now increasingly fearing for her safety and life. Neese is only 16 and was last seen getting into a vehicle at night. She has not been seen or heard from since.
The FBI has now joined the investigation, and are urgently searching for leads into where she may have been taken.
The Neese family last saw Skylar after she arrived home from a shift at Wendy's in West Virginia. She immediately went to her room, but later left. Surveillance footage showed Skylar getting into her friend's Sedan, but no other footage has surfaced.
It's a puzzling mystery that has the Neese family, local officials, and now the FBI searching for the young girl. One lead could come from her Twitter account, in which the final message posted reads, "You doing (explicative) like that is why I will NEVER completely trust you."
Other posts show a frustrated and discouraged Skylar: "Stress will be the death of me. Sick of being at (explicative) home. Thanks 'friends,' love hanging out with you all too. It really doesn't take much to (explicative) me off."
Yet friends and family have not said whether they have figured out whom Skylar was talking about in her tweet. Instead, they are focusing on the driver of the Sedan, who claims she dropped Skylar off later.
"The police interviewed the friend, and she admitted she picked Skylar up that night but swears she dropped her off an hour later. The girl said Skylar was insistent that she be dropped off down the street so her friend's car did not wake anyone," her cousin, Rikki Woodall has said, according to the Huffington Post.
"She loves school. She's a great, 4.0 student who is in honors classes, so when school started and she was not in class, people started to really question whether something might seriously be wrong. She has a lot of friends and is big into social networks but has not been online since she disappeared… her cell phone has not been turned on," Woodall added.
"We just want to know she is safe. If she needs help, she's got people ready and willing to help her with whatever she needs," Woodall said.
Anyone with information about Skylar is encouraged to call the Star City Police Department at 304-599-3550.

Marvel at the Trailer for 'Only Yesterday,' Studio Ghibli's Forgotten Masterpiece
To American audiences, Studio Ghibli must be the biggest name in overseas animation, having brought domestic cineplexes such visually sumptuous, emotionally affecting films as 'The Wind Rises,' 'Howl's Moving Castle,' and 'Spirited Away' to our fair shores. (That last one earned team Ghibli the Oscar for Best Animated Feature back in 2003, a first for the studio.) Those three films all happen to have been created by now-retired Ghibli head Hayao Miyazaki, but as the mind behind 'The Tale of the Princess Kaguya,' 'Pom Poko,' and 'Grave of the Fireflies,' animator Isao Takahata has been just as crucial to the studio's stellar track record.

When a married businessman falls for a small-town minx, his obsessive love will spur him to give up anything to have her.
Jeff Flanders has a nice little job, a nice little wife, and absolutely nothing to get excited about. All that goes down the drain when he meets Candy, a small-town girl who looks as sweet as her name, but is bitter to the core. She offers him her body - the best he's ever seen - for the bargain price of $1,000, and he can't refuse. The affair turns Jeff's world inside out, and he takes to her like she's a drug, giving up half his paycheck every week for the privilege of taking Candy to bed.
But when Candy finds a new keeper on Park Avenue, Jeff's life spins out of control. His addiction to Candy will drive him to do anything to get her back - even kill.

"Sublime sleaze!"
Candy is dated, silly and a great listen featuring classic prose and yesterday's morality. It's got sexiness, snarky-ness, sarcasm and girl-on-girl action. Seems trite till you realize it was published 53 years ago and then it's all just a fun ride like a Mad Men episode meets vintage Law & Order. Block is king!

Why treker, after all that 'trekking' you've done I would think this little doo-dad was a cake-walk for you! Teeheehee. Glad you liked it, Buddy..............
Gotta hand it to you Ann, this puzzle wore me out!! Gud un!
Hey Plum Sugar!! So glad you stopped by. This lantana has just spread like crazy, even to climbing UP & twining in the fence. It will die down this Winter but now that its roots have taken hold I almost shudder to think what it will do next year. I'm beginning to think it is an Alien from another world out to take over Earth!!
The flutterby is pitch black & the most brilliant yellow imagineable. I don't know why those stripes came out white in the photo, but most of the pro photos I saw are that way, too.
I'm feeling really pretty good now. I'm hoping that my Autumn Ordeal is about over now. Thanks, Robbie. Tell "Lovely" hello................
Hi AJ, just passing through and saw this, what a lovely arrangement you have here. I have never seen this butterfly but the flowers look like our sage ones here. Fun puzzle and hope you are feeling a lot better. Hugs from plum sugar!
Thanks Ann, you're very sweet.
Thank you very much Sissel, Elfie, & Mimi for your compliments. This plant has really outdone itself for me this year--its FIRST year with me. I can barely imagine what it will be like when it comes back after the Winter is over!! It might just cover my whole property & climb up every tree!! :-D I said that jokingly but it is being considered an invasive specie here in Fla. nowadays, I believe. So I must keep it in-bounds.
Thanks again my Friends..............
Ank, I DID think of you & your birthday on that day. I just was hurting a bit & was trying not to strain my eyes, so my thoughts did go over the ocean to you saying, "Happy Birthday, Ank. Hope it's a good one!" I was hoping you would catch them as they came by! :-) Thanks for the hugs & I send some to you, too.................
This is a grand picture Ann. Thanks!
Wow Ann, what a beautiful birthday card. You know I love the Lantana. It's beaytiful and I love butterflies too. I always have a lot in my garden. At his time of the year they are gone it becomes to cold for them.
Ann you did not just let my birthday pass. You was at the hospital that day, for an eye operation. How could you think of my birthday, I think there was something else in your head. But I like it very much that now you feel some better that you made this lovely present for me. Thanks a lot dear, I send you hugs.
Oh, it's so lovely Ann, Ank will love it!! Thanks so very much!!
Beautiful Ann - thanks for sharing :-)
Hello Pat & Patti! Thank you both. I am learning to take my little camera with me almost every time I step out the door. I just wish all the photos I take were good ones! This one was on the way to the mailbox---I had seen this butterfly, or one like it, several times but it flies each time it sees me move to get a better position. That's why it is a bit blurred. I just wish the white stripes on it had come out the gorgeous yellow they are for real--so pretty & so bright. Anyhow, I thought about how I had let Ank's B'day pass by & hoped this would let her know I had not forgotten but just wasn't quite up to doing anything about it that day & evening. Thanks for your reassurances. That lantana sure has done extra duty as a photographic subject these last few days. It is still blooming so well & the butterflies are so very grateful. Now it, and they, have become a decoration for the mental birthday cake I send to Ank.
I am doing well now; the worst is over! Hooray for that! Thanks, Ladies..............
Lovely, Ann. And I agree with Pat -- Ank will love this. Also, sounds like things are well with you. Glad to hear that.
awesome puzzle i'm sure Ank will love this. Pat
Ank, so sorry I missed your birthday. I was somewhat 'out of it', as they say. I think I didn't even sign on, but I thought about you. And I did have a good outcome at the surgery center. I hope your day was wonderful & you received many gifts, especially gifts of love from those YOU love. Again, a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ...............

Play Tepee
For Christmas this year I made a tepee for Oscar. It took me a few evenings to muddle out a plan and another week or so to sew it up during nap times. I wrote down a crude set of instructions on how to make one for a couple of friends, and thought I'd share here in case there's anyone following my exploits that wants to have a go. The instructions are rough, but hopefully are enough to give an understanding of the process.

Press Release
Australia's Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative Deploys SGI® Cluster to Accelerate Life Sciences Research
SGI® Altix® XE Visualizes Data to Drive Breakthroughs in Disease Cures
Fremont, Calif., and Melbourne, Australia — June 30, 2010 — SGI (NASDAQ: SGI) today announced that the Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative (VLSCI) has commissioned an SGI® Altix® XE1300 cluster for high performance computing (HPC) in its $100 million (AUD) Parkville Precinct facility. The SGI cluster will enable researchers to explore large databases, create complex simulation models, and to visualize and analyze data to accelerate important cancer, cardiovascular and neurological disease and diabetes research.
VLSCI was established by the University of Melbourne and the Victorian Government to drive world-leading life sciences research. Its facility is the first of its kind in Australia, and is on track to become one of the world's most powerful supercomputer and computational biology institutions. The SGI cluster will enable the facility to conduct leading-edge research practices with hundreds of Teraflops of computing power to increase speed of discovery.
"It is exciting for VLSCI and the University of Melbourne to see that 40 high-profile life sciences research projects are already progressing on our new SGI cluster," said David Bannon, peak computing facility manager at VLSCI. "The successful projects cover a broad spectrum of life science research topics such as nano-molecular motors, G protein-coupled receptors or arteriosclerosis disease, amongst many others."
SGI Altix XE1300 offers superior performance, reliability and energy efficiency with low-latency fast interconnect based on Voltaire switching technology. The cluster contains 136 nodes, enabling data intensive applications to utilize the highest possible I/O performance, and 11.5 Teraflops of performance and 160TB of storage to support the initiative's critical research.
"SGI is delighted to be a technology supplier to VLSCI," said Philip Chua, managing director and vice president of Asia Pacific and Japan at SGI. "The SGI Altix XE cluster and storage solution was rapidly deployed, installed and brought online within two months of the facility's introduction."
SGI® Professional Services applied expertise in file system architecture, operational efficiencies and infrastructure optimization to design, implement and tune the architecture for optimal operation within the VLSCI environment. A Panasas file system was part of the solution, expressly designed for data-intensive applications that require the highest possible I/O performance.

Los Angeles is a stunningly metamorphic place. A vast, industry- and people-dense metropolis, L.A. lives in the global psyche as the frontier of opportunity and personal transformation. Everything about L.A.—its geographic boundaries, the contours of its built environment, the languages and culture and impulses of its residents—is in a permanent state of flux. The city becomes nearly unrecognizable from one generation to the next. Our planet is in a state of equally dramatic transformation. The Earth is rapidly being reconfigured into sprawling urban centers, like L.A. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "The urban population in 2014 accounted for 54% of the total global population, up from 34% in 1960, and continues to grow." Interestingly, WHO notes that the growth is concentrated in less developed regions of the world. For that reason, the May 20, 2016 edition of the journal Science was dedicated to our "Urban Planet." The introduction to the special issue, titled "Cities are the Future," describes the impact of global urbanization. "The implications are sobering. The land area needed to provide city residents with food, energy, and materials is expanding; this ecological footprint is often 200 times greater than the area of a city itself. The resulting carbon emissions, added to those from cities themselves, mean that urbanization is now the main driver of climate change." A "perspective" in Science's blowout issue, written by Terry Hartig and Peter H. Kahn, Jr., and titled "Living in Cities, Naturally," addresses some of the physical and psychological malaise that urban residents can experience when they are disconnected from the natural world. They also discuss an impact of urbanization that may be more subtle but far-reaching. When city dwellers are divorced from nature and a sense of the richness of the natural world, they start to normalize environmental degradation in what Hartig and Kahn call "environmental generational amnesia." "[P]eople do not feel the urgency or magnitude of problems because the experiential baseline has shifted." In other words, to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, urban dwellers don't know what they don't know about environmental change. They have no real reference point. They can only measure changes to their natural environment based on vague memories of childhood experiences. "Providing opportunities for people to experience more robust, healthy, and even wilder forms of nature in cities offers an important solution to this collective loss of memory and can counter the shifting baseline," Hartig and Kahn write. L.A. Can Lead the Way Greg Pauly, curator of herpetology and co-director of NHMLA's Urban Nature Research Center (UNRC), grew up in a suburban neighborhood near San Jose, California. He spent his afternoons wandering the nearby hills searching for lizards. He also rescued and rehabilitated a menagerie of three-legged, no-tailed lizards that had been maimed by neighborhood cats. His early relationship with these lizards, and the acute awareness of the natural and unnatural environments which they navigated, spurred his desire to study and protect them. "When my father was growing up in Pasadena, horned lizards were a common part of the landscape. That species is now entirely gone from the L.A. basin. At the UNRC, we're trying to understand how species have responded to urbanization and how their distributions are changing."
Once common, the majestic horned lizard is no longer found in the L.A. Basin. Argentine ants have displaced native ant species on which the horned lizard feeds. The well-camouflaged lizard above was recently photographed in Kern County. Photo by: Martin Schlageter "Los Angeles is a biodiversity hotspot," says UNRC co-director Brian Brown. "It's an area of great diversity, but it is also under great threat. Through collaborations and access to scientific resources, UNRC is creating the world's largest urban biodiversity survey. Our research can help inform urban planning policies to minimize impacts on native species." We are well past the era of boosters selling the young L.A. as a utopia of unbridled innovation, opportunity and wellness. And we are also beyond the bleak, Blade Runner-esque dystopian vision of L.A. that dominated in the latter half of the past century. Like all cities, Los Angeles, even at its urban core, remains a dynamic, living ecosystem. Understanding, protecting and promoting the region's biodiversity is our next frontier. If you'd like to be involved in efforts to document and protect L.A.'s biodiversity, check out our Citizen Science program. Or you can donate to the UNRC.

August 11, 2012
Lots of people in the L.A. area have been complaining about the heat. Over the last week, cities in our region have been experiencing temperatures well into the 90s. On Monday, Woodland Hills reached 108 degrees!Whenever the temperature rises like this, I start to notice ants indoors. Only this morning during our Nature Lab meeting, I found a trail of ants leading to the sink, and another leading to the snack shelf.The ants I found are Argentine Ants, Linepithema humile. They are an introduced species from South America (Argentina and Brazil) and are now considered the most common ant in our area. According to the Insects of the Los Angeles Basin book, these ants were "introduced to New Orleans before 1891 in coffee shipments from Brazil, and it has since spread rapidly over much of the United States."This is what the same book has to say about their pest status:"The species is one of the most persistent and troublesome of all our house-infesting ants. Argentine Ant workers seek out and feed on almost every type of food, although they are especially fond of sweets. Making themselves most objectionable, the ants invade the house through minute crevices and cracks—filing along baseboards, across sinks, and over walls and tables in endless trails."How do you feel about ants in your home? While writing this blog, I've found it interesting to ponder this question. As you may have noticed I am a nature lover, however I am definitely not a fan of ants in my house and will go to great lengths to remove them. Many times this feels like a losing battle, especially because I'm not one for spraying pesticides all over the place I live.
Argentine Ant about to take drink of water in our Nature Lab trailer(It is one eighth of an inch long)The Argies, as we "fondly" refer to them, have also been found throughout the North Campus. This isn't surprising as it is well documented that this ant species has displaced many of our native ants. According to Alex Wild, author of the Myrmecos ant blog, Argentine Ants, "can drive native arthropods to extinction, instigating changes that ripple through ecosystems. In California, horned lizard populations plummet. In South Africa, plant reproduction is disrupted. Worldwide, the Argentine Ant is a persistent house and crop pest. This is not a good ant." Here are some pictures of their activities on the North Campus:
Argentine Ants killed all the paper wasps in this nest
Argentine Ants tending citrus scales in our orange treesWhen I found the ants had killed all the paper wasps in the nest pictured above, I have to admit I was disappointed. I know many would be cheering for the ants, as paper wasps are viewed as a pest themselves. However, I had already become invested in the livelihood of that particular wasp nest and would check up on it every time I was out in the gardens. I find it infinitely interesting to ponder our notion of pest. What is acceptable in some circumstances is unacceptable in others. However, I still haven't come across anyone who is a fan of Argentine Ants!Need tips of managing ants in your home? Check out the UC Davis Integrated Pest Management website.

After a long wait,I did speak to an advisor who gave me the wrong information and so the process of trying to speak to someone started again. After waiting for almost an hour,I spoke to Liverpool, Glasgow twice and then Wrexham when my phone's battery died and I almost give up the will to live !!
They were mentioned on the main news this morning that Citizens Advice had them as one of the worst for complaints. Second bottom in the big six with complaints double in the first quarter.
I did find the email address for Neil Clithero, the CEO of retail, sent him two messages three days ago and guess what ? You were right, no reply.
Rotten from the top down !

Have just got off a phone with Scottish Power CSR name Scott, and so far had the best experience in getting new supplier, offered me the best rate 11.55p per kWh with price fixed until july 2015 and no exit fee!! How cool is that.. try and get it elsewhere, yes their standing charge is higher but at least I don't have to drink cold tea or have cold shower to save few quid!
Written on: 10/07/2014
You were very lucky getting to speak to an advisor, which the majority of complaints are about. Customer service is a priority in any business and the unacceptable amount of time that Scottish Power makes you endure is totally unjustified.

text: I was just wondering if there were any early modern amps (e.g. 80s-90s) that are still passively cooled and have a built in compressor? I'm not thinking micro heads (too new).. the idea is finding something cheap, old and quote "out of fashion" etc. on the second hand market. [I also don't want to get into the fan vs passive cooled argument.. I realise there are pros and cons of both. Passive just seems to suit my needs at the moment. Also I say 80s-90 because that just seems to be the era when some things were made a bit more solidly, and you could find non-Chinese amps a lot easier..] I have a GK 400RB (first series) and know that is one of the greats in terms of tone, reliability and value.. but I just couldn't help but wonder if there was something out with similar great reliability that had an onboard compressor.. if there was then that might be a good backup amp and I could forget worrying about carrying external effects sometimes. I saw an Eden nemesis NC200 2x10" combo from the 90s, which looks pretty interesting, passive cooled, compressor etc. However, I do wonder if there was a 90s head version of this? Also I have no idea in regards to the tone it puts out compared to the GK. I also noted the SWR Workingman as an amp that might fit the bill in terms of specs..? Are there any amps out there that might fit the bill (if not these two)?

Landmark's Century Centre Cinema recently joined the midnight-movie craze. So far, the programming has featured some usual suspects (Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Goonies), but some more inspired offerings include Fargo and, most recently (as in, just a few hours ago), The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Sergio Leone's classic spaghetti western.

Bassist Michael Coltun started his band Les Rhinocéros when he was a high school student in Washington, D.C. Its debut album, recorded in 2009, proved that he possessed a wealth of ideas and technical skill. As I wrote last year about that 2011 release, "Les Rhinocéros mix prog rock with various strains of international music—jacked-up klezmer, West African trance—and emphasizes his concise writing rather than the hollow excess that's unfortunately typical of prog bands, especially when they're young."

Doc Films kicks off its spring calendar this Monday with Fritz Lang's Scarlet Street, the first in a series titled "Women in Film Noir." There are a number of obvious highlights over the next few months: a rare revival of Agnes Varda's first feature La Pointe Courte (edited by Alain Resnais!), 35-millimeter prints of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, and an only-at-Doc double feature of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Repo Man. But the most impressive is the Tuesday-night series, "Art Theater Guild and Japanese Underground Cinema, 1962-1974."

In the two years bassist Devin Hoff lived in Chicago he was a fairly ubiquitous presence around town, playing in countless ad hoc configurations and forming several ongoing projects he's remained part of since leaving for Los Angeles in 2011. In April he'll play with one of those bands, his trio with reedist Dave Rempis and drummer Mike Reed called Days After Next Wednesday, at the Hideout—you can check out a track by the group toward the bottom of this post.

does anyone know what happened with the banchee on Saturday night april 26, smoke, load boom. had family member hurt from people running to et out of line. there were many people at the clinic with injury's. I understand that kings island want to keep this a secret since it was the second weekened for the 24 million dollar ride, but something went wrong, people were hurt. please advise if anyone knows something about this.
According to that source, it was up and running later on that night, although, I would think if a hose blew, serious or not, you'd keep it down for for the night to see why it blew.

course explores the social meanings of childhood and adolescence.
Although everyone has been a child, the construct of "childhood" as a unique
status has changed over time, with adolescence representing a newer category of
development. Using the notion that childhood and adolescence are social
constructs that have meant different things in different historical contexts as
a foundation, we will examine aspects of the symbolic meanings of childhood and
adolescence as well as the experiences of being a young person. Core to this,
we will examine how these meanings and experiences are situated in larger
structures of race, class, gender, and sexuality, and how childhood and
adolescence are layered with complex and sometimes contradictory expectations.
The commercialization of childhood through marketing to young people, contradictory
messages about them as innocent or problematic, the experience of gender socialization,
and the expectations of creating perfect children and competitive teens will be
explored in detail.
Reproduction is
not simply a biological process but is laden with symbolic, political,
philosophical, and ideological meanings that are ideal for exploration in an
interdisciplinary course. Drawing on biology, history, sociology, anthropology,
cultural studies and law, we will examine the contested meanings of
reproduction, including how people plan for and experience reproduction, how
social meanings influence biological understandings of reproduction, social
understandings of who should and should not reproduce (and under what
how public policy mediates and reinforces these conflicts of meaning and

Bizarre PlayStation Vita mini-game collection, Frobisher Says, will get a whole new collection of activities for players to enjoy in the form of the Mega Fun Pack DLC, set to release next Tuesday, April 16.
If you've ever played a game like WarioWare, then you've already got the basic idea of what to expect out of Frobisher Says. The oddball titular character asks the player to conduct various silly feats, which the player then completes by pressing buttons, touching screens, yelling into the mic, etc. For the upcoming Mega Fun Pack, there's no way I could possibly describe what developer Honeyslug will be adding to the mix better than Producer Mark Inman over on the PlayStation Blog.
"If you enjoy being ordered to open seafood, not smile at woodland creatures and punch a bear in the face, you'll be delighted to hear that Frobisher's Mega Fun Pack is coming to a PS Vita near you on Tuesday," Inman said. "As if the previous requests Frobisher made weren't crazy enough, the Mega Fun Pack contains 15 new games involving such ludicrous demands as joining a gurning squad, milking a mammoth and driging to Stephen's house. Who is Stephen? We're still not quite sure."
So, yeah, the humor is oddball and, from what I've played of the free core game, it's a decently fun way to explore your Vitas various input methods. Thankfully, there's also a new feature that lets you turn off camera/mic games, so no worries if you want to play the game in low lighting or while waiting in the doctor's office. It'll be our little secret. Look for the Mega Fun Pack on PSN next week.

i have added a site search to my website www.theoldstuff.co.uk but when the search results show up on my search_page.html it is not using my current css.it is centering the results and has green links which looks very messy. Anyone know how i can change this please?
Hi there,
You could add:
text-align: left;
to div#content.
That would at least get rid of the centreing effect
P.S. All of the styles for that page appear to be defined in a file called "find_search.php"
The HTML output for those search results is pretty awful, so the ideal would be to fix that.
But if you can't, you can at least mess around with your CSS, but adding things like this:
#content {
text-align: left;
#content small font {
color: #78000E !important;
padding-right: 5px;
font-size: 1.125em;
#content small br {
display: none;
thats brilliant thanks

There are a lot of wonderful SLPs out there blogging and sharing ideas about best practices! Additionally, there are many educators blogging about using technology, and their language-based lessons can apply to you. Blogs are a GREAT "receptive" way to engage in social media and professional development. No need to interact if you don't want to; just read!
I am a strong advocate of following blogs using an aggregator tool such as Feedly. Feedly is a free, clean and efficient tool that you can use to skim all blogs you subscribe to, share posts with others, and curate posts for later reading by "saving for later" or tagging posts in categories for your organization.
Folks also like Flipboard and Zite, news aggregators that provide different experiences and features (also see Bloglovin' and Digg Reader). Each of these let you browse a variety of blogs, customize what you read, and curate posts for later reading.
What blogs should you follow? Heidi Kay of Pediastaff and Jenna Rayburn of Speech Room News have created great lists here and here very well so I am not sure how much I will reinvent the skillfully constructed wheel. It's very easy to add individual blogs to Feedly, as you can see in the tutorial below.
Overall, Feedly is super easy to use! See this video tutorial on using the web or iPad versions of Feedly (you can then add blogs from the above lists):
Last Tips: Be sure to add something to your Feedly that makes you laugh or think (or both). Lately, I am enjoying the guilty pleasure of BuzzFeed, and Lifehacker always gives me good ideas. Both of these blogs, and some others, can be very prolific.
DO NOT feel like you need to read every post of anything. That is sure to short out your brain and make you want to stop following blogs. Liberate thyself whenever the number of unread posts stresses you our- you can remove the subscription or "Mark all as Read." No one will know. Be Zen. Whatever you read is just the right amount for you to read.

Summer's over: Supreme Court announces September calendar, including high-profile bar admissions case
Earlier today, we said the Supreme Court would announce its September calendar within seven days. Within seven hours would have been more accurate. This afternoon, the court posted the cases it will hear on September 4 and 5 in San Francisco.
One is the high-profile case of whether Sergio Garcia — an undocumented immigrant who has graduated from law school and passed the California bar exam — can be admitted to practice law in the state. The court also today entered an unusual order regarding the argument. Mr. Garcia and the Committee of Bar Examiners will share 30 minutes of argument time to advocate for Mr. Garcia's admission. Additionally, the court has invited the California Attorney General, who is an amicus curiae supporting Mr. Garcia, to present 10 minutes of oral argument, and it has invited the United States Department of Justice, an amicus opposing Mr. Garcia's admission to the bar, to present 30 minutes of argument. The briefing for the case is on the court's website.
The court will hear the following cases in September (with the issue(s) presented as stated on the court's website):
In re Garcia on Admission: (1) Does 8 U.S.C. section 1621(c) apply and preclude this court's admission of an undocumented immigrant to the State Bar of California? Does any other statute, regulation, or authority preclude the admission? (2) Is there any state legislation that provides – as specifically authorized by 8 U.S.C. section 1621(d) – that undocumented immigrants are eligible for professional licenses in fields such as law, medicine, or other professions, and, if not, what significance, if any, should be given to the absence of such legislation? (3) Does the issuance of a license to practice law impliedly represent that the licensee may be legally employed as an attorney? (4) If licensed, what are the legal and public policy limitations, if any, on an undocumented immigrant's ability to practice law? (5) What, if any, other public policy concerns arise with a grant of this application?
Kurwa v. Kislinger: Was the judgment in this case, which dismissed most of the causes of action with prejudice and the remainder, pursuant to the parties' stipulation, without prejudice and with a waiver of the applicable statute of limitations, an appealable judgment? [Disclosure: The California Academy of Appellate Lawyers submitted an amicus curiae brief in this case. A number of Horvitz & Levy attorneys are Academy members and Horvitz & Levy's Jon Eisenberg is one of a number of Academy members whose names are on the brief.]
Valdez v. W.C.A.B.: Does Labor Code section 4616.6 exclude from evidence reports of a treating physician obtained by an applicant outside of his or her employer's Medical Provider Network?
Sterling Park, L.P. v. City of Palo Alto: Did the 90-day statute of limitations for challenging an agency decision under the Subdivision Map Act (Gov. Code. § 66499.37) or the 180-day statute of limitations for challenging the imposition of "any fees, dedications, reservations, or other exactions imposed on a development project" (Gov. Code, § 66020) apply to plaintiff's action challenging the city's imposition of conditions on a development project pursuant to a local ordinance?
People v. Contreras: [This is an automatic appeal from a December 1996 judgment of death. The court's website does not list issues for such appeals.]
People v. Manibusan: [This is an automatic appeal from a January 2001 judgment of death. The court's website does not list issues for such appeals.]
Harrison v. Board of Parole Hearings: Are the evaluation and certification requirements of Penal Code section 2962, subdivision (d), substantive requirements for the initial commitment of a mentally disorder offender that must be admitted by the offender or found true by the trier of fact?
2 Responses to "Summer's over: Supreme Court announces September calendar, including high-profile bar admissions case"

The Future of Domestication Studies
25 April 2014
Research by Dorian Fuller, UCL colleagues and collaborative partners is being featured in a special issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS).
The papers are part of a collection entitled: "The Modern View of Domestication", edited by Greger Larson and Dolores R. Piperno, Special Feature of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA (29 April 2014). Early Edition online content is available now via the links below.
The research results from a catalysis meeting entitled "Domestication as an Evolutionary Phenomenon: Expanding the Synthesis," held in 2011, which was co-organised by Dorian, awarded a National Science Foundation grant and hosted by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Centre.

- Current Perspectives and the Future of Domestication Studies
This multi-authored paper, with contributions by Manuel Arroyo-Kalin, Dorian Fuller, Leilani Lucas and Mark Thomas, presents the state of the art in the field of domestication studies, discussing what is known about the spatial and temporal patterns of domestication, and controversies surrounding the speed, intentionality, and evolutionary aspects of the domestication process. Three three key challenges are also highlighted for future research.
- Storytelling and story testing in domestication
This multi-authored paper, with contributions by Manuel Arroyo-Kalin, Dorian Fuller and Mark Thomas, outlines some of the modeling approaches most relevant to current problems in domestication research, and demonstrates the ways in which simulation modeling is beginning to reshape our understanding of the domestication process.
- Convergent evolution and parallelism in plant domestication revealed by an expanding archaeological record
Agriculture was a transformative development in the history of human societies and natural environments and drove the evolution of new domesticated species. Archaeological plant remains provide a range of insights into the processes by which plants were domesticated in different parts of the world. This research paper, co-authored by Dorian Fuller, Manuel Arroyo-Kalin, Leliani Lucas, Chris Stevens and colleagues, provides a unique synthesis of evidence, including quantitative evidence on the trajectory and rate of domestication in seed crops and patterns in the development of tropical vegetatively propagated crops.
PNAS is one of the world's most-cited multidisciplinary scientific serials. Since its establishment in 1914, it continues to publish cutting-edge research reports, commentaries, reviews, perspectives, colloquium papers, and actions of the Academy.
The Institute of Archaeology has a long research and training tradition in environmental archaeology and currently offers an MSc in Environmental Archaeology.

Have just installed the software for my JR Data Transfer, & have checked as described in the manual that the drivers are installed correctly, that is:
("If the driver has been correctly installed, USBIO controlled devices
Click the + mark located on the left of USBIO controlled devices.
A device name, USBIO Device, appears. This state indicates that the driver has been correctly installed, and that the PC successfully recognizes the USB (PC DATA TRANSFER) device".
So all that is OK, but if I want to open a saved file, (saved from my TX or even some files very kindly given to me from another JR9X11 user) [JR9X11 is the 9303 in the USA] I have problems.
The files are "dat" files with which Windows always shows: "Windows can not open this file".
So, OK, go to: "Select program from list" & select "PropoData".
Now comes up with: "PropoData has encountered a problem -------"
If you "click" to see error data, it shows:
AppName: propodata.exe
AppVer: 0.0.0.1
ModName: prodata.exe
ModVer: 0.0.0.1
Offset: 002ae77d
That's no doubt too much info. already & I realise that this is not a computer forum, (so I certainly will not bother you with the " technical information in the report".
This of course means that I am not able to use the saved data from JR DataTransfer, which is just somewhat of a problem as this is really what the program should do.
I just hope that someone has had similar issues, & has been able to resolve them, & can assist.

Hi mac man,
Appreciate your response.
Somewhat embarrased in not being clear as to your meaning re what happens if "using the File, Open method".
My basic answer is that "nothing works" & that the only way I can see to have the file open is as I have detailed under.
If I am missing something simple I will surely overcome any additional embarrasment & just give thanks.
In looking at this re a need to give you a better appreciation, I have decided to include a series of "Hypersnaps".
If I LH double click" on the file, it will only come up with the, (usual for Windows re "dat" files afik) "You are attempting to open a file of type 'DAT' (.dat) --------"
Gives 2 options: "Open With" or "Cancel" [see attach 1]
"Open with" gives you: [attach 2]
"Use Web services ---" give you no help (ever).
So, use "Select program from a list".
This gives: [see attach 3] So you select "PropoData" & hit "OK"
Comes up with: "PropoData has encountered a problem ------"[see attach 4]
If I, Right click on the file, it shows: "Open with", & selecting "PropoData" comes up with: "PropoData has encountered a problem ------" as in attach 4.
Looking now, I notice, (you can see re background in attach 1) that the file opens in what is the "picture viewing" screen. Could be re Windows seeing it as a "strange" file.
I would be happy to P.M. the file if of any assistance.
Any further assistance much appreciated.

I think mac_man meant have you tried starting the application from the start menu and then selecting "file"->"open" from the menu bar?
Not every appplication is written in a way that will let it be launched by clicking on the file associated with it.
.dat is a pretty generic extension, so they probably did not intend for it to work like that.
Pat MacKenzie
Thanks Pat,
Now that's a very prompt response!
Further embarrasment. If you mean, (& I think perhaps you do not):
[Start] > "All Programs" > then click on "PropoData", then the actual program opens with no issues.
It is only re the saved file that the problem exists.
I would be very pleased to find I am missing something here, (& I probably am )
If you save the file transferred from your TX by PropoData, it is of course a "dat" file. DAT files normally only open with the program associated with them, & in this case it should be no problem as of course it is "PropoData".
Anxiously await any further assistance.

Thanks you mac_man & Pat!
I should have twigged from "Have you tried using the File, Open method", but as you can obviously see I was going down the wrong track.
I had been trying to open the saved file itself, & had not realised that the file, (after all, it is a "dat' file that I even said, "normally only open with the program associated with it" ) can, (has to be) opened from the, (Yes, yes, ------I know) "File" > "Open" in the actual "PropoData" programme itself .
So to my "very pleased to find I am missing something here", well I sure was.
Well, I don't think my age is shown in my "profile", & I must think of including it as some feeeble excuse.
Edit. I may, (you will be so pleased ) have to get back re as in my original post, "but if I want to open ------- some files very kindly given to me from another user".
In fact, thinking now, (& searching for any excuse) it was this that set me off on the wrong path.
How do I have the Programme, (yes I know now) open these files?? You would have to get the files (into) "PropoData" to have it be able to "Open" them. Will see how I go.
Your assistance has been much appreciated!

Just to save your nerves as to my having to get back re having PropoData open the files kindly sent to me on CD, I was able to do this.
Yes; simply, "File" > "Open", & direct it to the files copied from the CD.
Again, your assistance was truely appreciated.

This year's TCA auction will be held on Dec. 1 at the Moelis' Candyland Farm in Delaware, with Cross Gate Gallery in Lexington also involved in the event. Another supporter of racehorse retirement programs is TOBA's new chairman, Gary Biszantz, who, among other things, has donated a farm in California to be used for former racehorses. Also active in raising funds for Thoroughbred retirements is horseman and entrepreneur Barry Weisbord, who holds an annual fundraiser each summer during the Saratoga meeting. The days of ignoring the plight of former racehorses are over. Industry leaders are beginning to speak loud and clear and take action on this important issue. Their good deeds are not going unnoticed.
In the category of no good deed going unnoticed, the decision in 1999 by Arthur and Staci Hancock to return Gato Del Sol from Germany to his birthplace at Stone Farm near Paris, Ky., was cited by John Hettinger as the motivating factor for him to become involved in helping provide funds for racehorse adoption and retirement. Hettinger made that comment while accepting the Industry Service Award from the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association during its annual awards dinner, held at Frank Stronach's Adena Springs Farm near Midway, Ky., on Sept. 7. Gato Del Sol won the 1982 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) for Arthur Hancock and the late Leone J. Peters, the same partnership that bred him. When Gato Del Sol's stud career faltered, Hancock accepted an offer from German breeders to stand him in that country. However, after hearing of the fate of the outstanding racehorse Exceller, who was killed in a slaughterhouse in Sweden in 1997, Staci Hancock convinced her husband it was their duty to ensure the same would not happen to Gato Del Sol. "There's the old saying that if you take care of the land, the land will take care of you," Arthur Hancock said at the time. "The same goes for horses. Take care of your horses and they'll take care of you." Hettinger formed Blue Horse Charities, which raises money for adoption and retirement programs through the Fasig-Tipton sale company that he oversees as majority owner. Buyers at Fasig-Tipton sales are asked to contribute one-fourth of 1% to the charity, an amount matched by the sale company. Blue Horse Charities then disperses the funds to various organizations. Before he formed Blue Horse Charities, Hettinger's R&R Stables was listed at numerous sales as a buyer of horses that appeared to be in danger of being purchased by "killers"--people who attend Thoroughbred auctions with the purpose of buying horses cheaply enough to turn a profit at the slaughterhouse. Hettinger then was successful in raising the minimum for most sale horses to $1,000, putting them out of reach of killer buyers. Hettinger isn't alone in his effort to protect ex-racehorses from slaughter, nor was he the first to do so. But his contributions, financially, politically, and organizationally, have raised awareness of this serious issue to a new level and given numerous horses a second chance to have more productive lives when their racing days were over. Allaire duPont and Herb and Ellen Moelis have supported this same cause for a dozen years through their creation of Thoroughbred Charities of America. This organization, which began with a small gathering in the Moelis' Delaware home that raised $15,000, has grown into a large annual charity auction and dinner that in 2000 attracted more than 400 people and grossed $1.2 million. Earlier this year, TCA distributed over $900,000 to 50 nonprofit organizations, many of them dedicated to adopting or re-training former racehorses. Since its formation, TCA has given more than $5 million to worthy organizations throughout the country.

LEZYNE Classic tools, £17.99, www.upgrade.co.uk
- By London Cycling Campaign on at 2:25pm 30 November 2011
- Posted in: Accessories
- Tagged with: accessories, tools, chain whip, pedal whip, Lezyne
They say 'chain rod', I say 'chain whip'; they say 'pedal rod', I say 'pedal spanner'... whether you agree with the German-founded, American-based manufacturer on name, one's thing's not in doubt — these wood-handled workshop tools are real beauties. The pedal spanner (rod)'s just over 14in long, with two offset 15mm slots, meaning you get both great leverage and the CNC-machined steel head's always in the right place no matter the angle of the pedal flats. There's an integrated bottle opener for party tricks too.
The chainwhip (rod) has a custom chain attached, allowing 8/9/10- speed compatibility, plus there's the usual lockring tool. The shaped handles look even better after grubby mechanic mitts have been at them, but if you prefer there's CNC versions of each for £26. JK

As an outgrowth of the day-long Advocates for Independent Retail Summit hosted by the American Booksellers Association in January 2011 in Washington, D.C., the booksellers group announced yesterday in Bookselling This Week, that it has formed a coalition with six other trade associations to promote locally owned businesses. The Institute for Local Self-Reliance is coordinating the work of Advocates for Independent Businesses, which was cofounded with the American Independent Business Alliance, American Specialty Toy Retailing Association, Independent Running Retailers Association, National Bicycle Dealers Association, Professional Association of Innkeepers International, and Record Store Day.
"We look forward to working with our partners in AIB on a range of issues that are critical to the health and continued growth of locally owned businesses nationwide," said ABA CEO Oren Teicher. "And we hope even more indie trade organizations will join us in the future. There is much that can be accomplished in terms of public policy if we all work together, as well as many things we can learn from each other to better serve our members."
In other indie bookseller news, the ABA announced that more than 375 authors and 300 bookstores have signed up to participate in Indies First. The grass-roots movement was launched when writer Sherman Alexie called on other authors to join him in handselling at a local independent on Small Business Saturday, the Saturday after Thanksgiving (November 30).

(Adds details, analyst comments, updates share movement)
By Supantha Mukherjee
BANGALORE, April 4 (Reuters) - Caris & Co downgraded Isilon Systems Inc ISLN.O to "sell" from "below average," saying it does not expect the data storage systems maker to be profitable anytime soon as it increases headcount and operating expenses in 2008.
Shares of the company, which has been posting losses since going public in December 2006, were down 13 percent at $4.60 at midday, making them one of the top losers on the Nasdaq.
Isilon is planning to add jobs as it seeks to grow revenue, which is a risky strategy going forward, Caris analyst Shebly Seyrafi said by phone.
"According to my model, they (Isilon) are going to lose more money," Seyrafi said, adding that he does not expect the company to be profitable in the next three years.
The analyst, who also lowered his price target to $3.50 from $4.00, said the company is facing daunting competition from larger rivals such as EMC Corp EMC.N and NetApp Inc (NTAP.O) and private companies like DataDirect Networks.
Separately, RBC Capital Markets lowered its price target to $5 from $7 on the stock, saying no outlook was provided by the management during the conference call, which the company held on Thursday to review its restated third and fourth-quarter results.
The company restated its results after it identified errors in its previous recognition of revenue.
Customers were hesitating to do business with the company due to the accounting issues, Seyrafi said.
RBC said for the first quarter, it expects Isilon's revenue to decline 16 percent sequentially. (Editing by Deepak Kannan)

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Update, 9:10 a.m. May 9: The crash that killed a 19-year-old East Texas woman Thursday morning was the result of the driver speeding on a wet, slick street, according to a police report.
According to police, the Henderson County woman, whose name is not being released pending next of kin notification, was a passenger in a 1998 red Ford Escort. The driver headed west around the 3500 block of Royal Lane.
"The suspect was driving at a speed unsafe for the conditions because the vehicle lost traction on the wet roadway," the police report says.
The Escort struck a curb, became airborne and crashed into a tree, police said. It rolled on to its left side, then flipped over. The woman was partially ejected and the car came to rest on top of her, according to the report.
The woman died at the scene. Police labeled the accident as a criminally negligent homicide in their report. It is unclear if the driver has been charged.
Original post: A woman was killed Thursday morning after the car she was riding in struck a tree on Royal Lane and Cromwell Drive, according to Dallas Fire-Rescue.
Fire-Rescue responded to the 911 call at about 8:45 a.m. The 19-year-old passenger died at the scene. The driver has not been taken to the hospital, Dallas Fire-Rescue said.
The red car flipped over and has not been cleared yet. Three lanes at Royal and Marsh Lane are closed, KXAS-TV (Channel 5) reports.
More details to come.

Ask a college football fan about Stanford, and if they even mention the defense you might hear names like Chase Thomas or the injured Shayne Skov. In the likelier event that the offense receives the focus, you'd probably hear names like Stepfan Taylor, Coby Fleener and, of course, Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew Luck. But if one takes a closer look at the 2011 Cardinal offense, a group that puts up nearly 50 points per game, it'd be a drastic mistake to overlook Stanford's offensive line. While the entire group is as big, strong and effective as any unit in college football, the line's leader is undoubtedly Jonathan "Moose" Martin.Stanford's left tackle might not be as well known among casual fans, but NFL scouts know all about Moose. According to Walter Football's 2012 NFL Mock Draft, Martin is currently slated to be chosen at No. 12 overall. Scott Wright's Draft Countdown has Martin going off the board at No. 10. FF Toolbox has Martin as a top-5 selection.With all the hype surrounding the supremely talented Luck, one could argue that Martin might be the safest bet on Stanford's entire roster to be an NFL starter for 10 years.After Martin made first team All-Pac-10 last year, he was a first team Playboy preseason All-America pick before the 2011 season. To say he's lived up to that billing would be an understatement. The 6-6, 304-pound Martin has protected Luck's blind side and opened up holes for Taylor and the rest of Stanford's deep running back corps to such a degree that he was recently named one of four finalists for the Lombardi Award, annually given to the nation's top lineman or linebacker. Thanks to Martin and the rest of Stanford's huge, powerful offensive line, Luck has completed over 70 of his passes this season and has only been sacked four times in nine games. Martin like most offensive linemen prefers run blocking to pass protection, and Cardinal runners average 5.7 yards per carry, 7th in the nation (Oregon leads the country at 7.0 yards per rush, incidentally). Beyond statistics, Martin is the leader of a group that sets the tone for Stanford. The Cardinal, unlike most that spread the field and live outside the hash marks, mixes complicated schemes (Stanford by all accounts makes their offensive players memorize more plays than any other team in the country) with old-school physicality.Martin, who originally committed to UCLA before the chance to play on The Farm changed his mind, is ranked so highly among potential pro prospects in large part due to his athleticism. His long arms and flexibility, paired with outstanding technique and intelligence (several members of Martin's family have attended Harvard) have made him invaluable to Luck and Stanford coach David Shaw.When Shaw moved up from offensive coordinator after Jim Harbaugh left to coach the San Francisco 49ers, it appeared Stanford would have a great chance at a successful season, especially with Luck returning. However, Martin was one of only two returning offensive linemen along with right guard David DeCastro, who in his own right is projected to be taken low in the first round or in the early second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. The way that Martin and DeCastro have anchored Stanford's o-line and integrated new starters David Yankey, Sam Schwartzstein and Cameron Fleming has been invaluable to the No. 4 team in the BCS standings.Many believe Luck's chances to clinch the Heisman Trophy ride largely on how he does in Saturday's much-anticipated matchup against Oregon. If that indeed comes to pass, a large reason why will surely be the way Martin protects Luck's blindside when he drops back to do so.

OverviewThe Himalayas can be accessed from many points. One of the prettiest and closest to the capital of India, which is New Delhi is heading north towards Shimla.
Shimla was the erstwhile summer capital of the British India, when the officers used to go there to enjoy the summers. It used to be known as "Simla". It is the capital of the state of Himachal Pradesh. Himachal Pradesh shares a border with Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Punjab, Uttar Pradesh (U.P) and Uttarakhand. The literal meaning of Himachal Pradesh is "Region / Land of Snow-Clad Mountains"
Like Uttarakhand, where lies the range of Garhwal and Kumaon, Himachal boasts of the majestic Dhauladhar range. This range spans from the North-West to the South-East of the state, and boasts of many high mountains.
Rohtang Pass is a very critical and strategically placed pass in this range, which connects the Kullu Valley to the Lahaul and Spiti Valley. In Winters, this pass is closed, and hence the contact with Lahaul and Spiti is disrupted. The Rohtang tunnel is being created especially by the Indian Army for this reason, so that the Lahaul and Spiti valley doesn't get disconnected from the northern part of Himachal.
In summer, these two valleys get connected, when the pass opens, around the last week of May. As green is the Kullu valley, the Lahual and Spiti Valley is exactly the opposite, i.e. hardly any trees - it is complete barren beauty.
While the Kullu Valley boasts of many peaks in the region (IndraSan, Kullu Pumori, Hanuman Tibba, Deo Tibba, DharamSura, KshitiDhar, Ladakhi, Friendship, Seven Sisters, Makerbeh, Shikarbeh etc.), the Lahaul and Spiti Valley as well boasts of many peaks (Moulkila 1 to 10, Chandr-Bhaga (CB) 1 to 10, Stok Kangri, Devachan, Behali Jot, Kao Rong, Menthosa, and many unnamed peaks).
Getting ThereTo get to Manali, there are regular bus services from Delhi, both by state transport (government owned) and private operators.
The buses take between 16 - 18 hours to reach Manali, and it is an overnight journey. Also, quite a few people visit The Great Himalayan National Park,
There is also an airport at Bhuntar, which is about 25 kms south of Kullu. The drive from Bhuntar airport to Manali is about 2 hours. Kingfisher Airlines is one of the airlines that operates this flight, but the flight is an expensive one, when compared to the bus fares.
Also, some people prefer taking a private taxi, which can take you from Delhi to Manali, although the fare of a private taxi is quite steep. The journey in a private taxi gets cut short to about 13-15 hours.
Red TapeThere is pretty much no red tape in this region. There are certain peaks in India, which are quite few, that requires the permission of the Indian Mountaineering Foundation, based out of Delhi.
But, most of the peaks in Himachal Pradesh doesn't require a permit from IMF. A list of "open peaks" is given here. This is where you can download the forms needed to book a climbing trip.
Apart from the local tolls which one has to pay on the way to Manali, for using the bridges and highways, there is pretty much no problem. Nowadays, in Manali, they have started a "Green Toll Tax", which is INR 300/-.
Also, from Solang Nalla to Dhundi, the distance is 8 kms. If the local driver can get you a permit by talking to the concerned Army authorities, then you can save the 2 hours of hike on paved road, which gets very boring. The permit requires precisely how many people are coming in the vehicle, who is the driver, what is his name, his age, his driving license no etc.
CampingWhile climbing the following peaks,
- KshitiDhar
- Friendship
- Ladakhi
- Hanuman Tibba
- Manali
One starts from Solang Nallah, and walks towards Dhundi. Solang Nallah is 13 kms from Manali, and it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach Solang Nallah. If somebody feels that acclimatization is a problem, then one can camp at Solang Nalla. When I went to Beas Kund and Patalsu Base Camp trek in 1995, we had our base camp at Solang Nallah. From there, one can walk to Dhundi, and make camp there.
After Dhundi, the next campsite is Bakkhar-thach, which has pretty much ready campsites because the Basic Course in Mountaineering uses this as their base camp site. Water is readily available at this campsite right from May end. But, if one goes to this region in Early May, then this campsite might be completely in snow, and running water streams might be hard to find.
Next from Bakkhar-thach is the campsite of Bhoj-patthar, which falls exactly in the middle of Bakkhar-thach and Beas Kund. The problem with this campsite is that it does not have any water source.
After Bhoj-Patthar, the next campsite is Beas Kund, which is completely in snow, till the 20th of June. People going in late June will find this place entirely green, with running water.
To climb
- Kshitidar
- Manali
- Ladakhi
One has to go via the Rape Ridge, and set up camp 1 at the top of rape ridge. This camp 1 serves as a summit camp for KshitiDhar, and for Ladakhi and Manali, some people set up camp 2 after climbing the col above rape ridge.
To climb
- Hanuman Tibba
One has to set up Base camp at Beas Kund, and go in a different direction towards Tentu Pass. After climbing Tentu pass, Camp 1 for Hanuman Tibba gets established. After Camp 1, some people establish a camp 2 and some people directly establish a summit camp.
To climb
- Friendship
One has to take a detour just before Bakkhar-thach, to go to campsite called "Lady Lake". This serves as a base camp for Friendship. From lady lake campsite, one more camp, Camp 1 is established before attempting the summit. The Camp 1 serves as a summit camp.

Why I do what I do …
After a slow and stressful start to the year as I tried to create momentum for my new venture Webwiser, things have gathered speed and come the beginning of August I was looking forward to a bit of rest and relaxation as well as some welcome relief from the wettest UK April/May/June/July/Summer on record.
So, after enjoying the excellent opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and first couple of day's competition on home soil we escaped the new front of bad weather and headed to our faithful bolthole in Murcia, Southern Spain for a week of guaranteed sunshine.
This year my daughters have got the riding bug bad, so a top priority was to find somewhere in the region where they could spend time with horses.
A bit of web searching revealed El Rancho de La Fuente Equestrian Centre – a riding stables on the edge of the Calblanque National Park, a conservation coastal area which offered the chance to ride along the virtually deserted and beautiful beaches.
Anyway, the net result is the following video clip which captures part of their experiences and has become one of my new favourites.
It is moments like this that are a timely reminder of why I do what I do.
