Survived the Lactate test, now what
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
I survived! After spending nearly 2.5 hrs at Boulder Center for Sports Medicine I walked out reassuring what I kind of already knew, KEEP THE DAY JOB! Jokes aside, the data I got from the test should help me a ton next year.... we will see.
The Lactate test
The lactate test was much easier then I would have thought, here is how it generally went....
* 20-ish minute warm up on the bike
* start the test at 125 watts and ever 4 minutes take some blood from my finger, ask me what the RPE is and up the watts by 25
* continue this cycle until they see a large increase in LT which is pretty high but not max effort.
Afterwards my finger looked like a pin cushion.
VO2 Test
Since I had already done the lactate test we could "cheat" and start at a much higher wattage which for me was 275 and from there every minute up the wattage by 25 until I cry uncle or fall off the bike. Luckily this process goes pretty fast. Then at the end they take blood, you spin for two minutes easy and they take blood again and then I was done!!
Now What?
After the test was complete Neal Anderson consulted with me on the results and mentioned "not to worry, in your peak fitness you would be much higher", ahh, I am at peak Neal. His insight provided me with very clear training zones to take on 08 and a plan to come back in 6 months from now to take another meassurement (only lactate) to see how I am progressing.

Black Diamond Ahwahnee Tent: 2-Person 4-Season
? Share a...
Member since
I got this tent about 8 years ago and have used it extensively on bike tours, climbing trips and backcountry skiing.
In my opinion the setup is simple and fast.
The todd-tex material is tough, waterproof and durable. If its fully zipped up, I can a bit of condensation, but open the door a little at the top like a vent and this ceases to be an issue.
When setting it up be careful to make sure the poles are seated properly in the corner pockets, if they end up on the floor material it'll puncture once the tent is set up and taut. One minor qualm: after about 6 years of use the pole sockets fell out (rust!?), but I patched the corners with duct tape and haven't noticed any real downside to this dirtbag modification.
Whilst the tent is reasonably lightweight- I currently use a BD firstlight if I'm heading high into the mountains where weight is more of an issue and when I'm not anticipating any precip in the form of rain.
Member since
We've had this tent for more than ten years and have suffered some of the frustrations of the other reviewers. Initially the tent was difficult to set up because of the tightness of the pole fit inside the tent. This has gotten easier to do or I've gotten use to doing it. Almost all of our pole holders have fallen off but I just contacted BD about it and they are going to fix them under warrantee. The few times I've had to cantact BD on warrantee issues, they have been prompt, and professional about getting the item fixed. The zippers are also giving us difficulty but probably will just require the slides being replaced but BD doesn't do the zippers but my local shoe repair guy does.
Overall, I'm very happy with the tent and would get another. The toddtex fabric is great and has stayed waterproof. I have had to reseal the seams (ALL the seams) several times but as long as the seal is good, the tent stays dry in prolonged rains.
Ahwahnee good, Black Diamond bad.
Member since
This tent is a piece of cake to set up. Takes less than 2 minutes. If you can't figure it out you probably shouldn't be camping... at least unsupervised. Best tent ever, but pray you don't have to deal with Black Diamonds customer service. I bought my Ahwahnee before BD acquired Bibler. After 10 years of regular use, I had some problems with the tent. I've sent it back to BD 3 times now and they have done nothing. The last "rejection" note I got from them was actually insulting. I loved this tent, but I won't buy another one because I hate Black Diamond.

Snort. I've had the same problems w/BD and their non-service. We have a Bibler Eldorado, purchased before BD bought Bibler. I had problems w/zipper failures and the mesh falling apart. I sent the tent back to BD and they told me my problems were due to dog hair. Really? The dogs don't sleep in the tent and there weren't more than a couple of stray hairs in the tent when we returned it. They gave me contact info for a place in Seattle that would fix my zippers (for a price.) I pointed out that my tent had a "lifetime" warranty and BD basically laughed at me. Bah humbug.

Purchased this tent a year ago and I agree with the bad reviews about it.. Waters leaked through the fabric when it rains. In my opinion, this tent sucks. Please do not buy this tent
very disappointed
Member since
i was saving up for this for over two years for this tent, when i finally got the courage and decided to to invest in this thing words could not describe how excited i was. Two days later i received it in the mail, i practically sprinted to my friends house to open the package. when i opened it up and laid it all out on the floor and saw this sweet looking green tent. very soon after i tried setting it up . First i was disappointed on how and were the poles were inserted on the floor of the tent, then i was disappointed about the paper thin clips inside the tent that were designed to hold the pols in place, third i was extremely disappointed when it took practically 3 grown men to get the ahwahning pole inserted. finally 35 min later i had the tent set up. iv set one one or two tents in my day and iv never have as much trouble as i did setting this thing up and it still was not 100 %. i figured that if i was in 15 degree weather and in an emergency i would have frozen to death twice before i could be able to set this thing up. not the mention that after all this disappointment and frustration when i tried to get the ahwahning pole out i broke the pole in half slicing the top of the tent and practically destroying it. by the end of all this i was practically in tears lol. im still upset about it. i really think that this tent has the design and potential to be a fantastic tent but its just to poorly flawed in to many ways. i called back country and they did not give me a hard time about returning it which was nice but if someone were to ask me if getting this tent was a good idea i would have to say NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!
Member since
You need to insert the awning pole goes first. If you don't, it will be very hard to set up the tent properly. If you do, there's very little tension on the eyelets.

Member since
I herd that this tent has had a problem with leaking water over time, and also a problem with the eyelets. have these problems been fixed ? i really want a four season tent but im having a hard time finding one thats not going to suffocate me in the summer, this tent seems like its perfect but im worried that illl have these problems. i don't want to invest that kind of money into a tent that might leek just after a few trips. if im wrong please let me know because i really like this tent but a little concerned about these few issues.

The Black Diamond Firstlight is supposed to be a great four season tent that's actually useful in both the summer and winter. It's $300, and with the NanoShield material, it's supposed to be both breathable and waterproof. The pole setup is easier, as it doesn't have a cross pole. I believe it's a slightly more budget version of the Bibler I-Tent. If you like this design, the BD Hilight is basically the same thing but with one door and NanoShield instead of ToddTex. As an added bonus, both the Hilight and Firstlight are sub three pounds.
Black Diamond Bibler Ahwahnee
Member since
Before heading off on a year-long cycle trip around the world, I purchased and tested a number of tents the Black Diamond Hilight, Black Diamond Skylight, Nemo Tenshi, MSR Elbow Room and MSR Hubba Hubba.
We decided to take the Black Diamond Bibler Ahwahnee, which we found to be well designed, and possibly the only true four season tent (useable in Summer) on the market.
Unfortunately for us the quality of workmanship has simply not matched up to its fantastic design.
About two weeks ago, whilst cycling across Ireland, our Black Diamond Bibler Ahwahnee tent began to let in water through the fabric. Now, even under light rain, water enters directly through all external surfaces of the Todd Tex fabric. All seams were sealed correctly and no water is penetrating these areas.
After a little research, I found that the problem with this tent has occurred for other people. (Read other reviews here)
Prior to the leaking, we also had a major recurring problem with the state of the eyelets either side of the tent that the awning pole is meant to sit in. The first time I set the tent up in the lounge room the pole was extremely difficult to get in, but I figured that it might have been intentionally made that way so that when the fabric stretched with use, the pole would fit perfectly. Well this never happened and it is still a constant struggle to put the pole in.
Now I have to use electrical tape on a recurring basis to hold in the eyelets to prevent them from completely falling out of the tabs (this has happened a few times). I tried a few different ways of making a permanent fix, like using glue, squashing the eyelets down tighter against the fabric and taking the tent to a number of different repair shops to see if they could permanently fix it, all to no avail.
I have not taken the tent to Black Diamond to see if it can be fixed properly before now because I havent been able to. Weve been cycling around the world for the last eight months, so we usually need it. It is also difficult to provide an address, particularly one for long enough to have the tent sent overseas.
Now that were in the US (and it is leaking badly which we cant live with) weve posted it with the receipt of purchase (it is still in warranty) to the Salt Lake headquarters. We are desperately hoping for a speedy resolution and return as we are due to continue our world tour through America and into South and Central America.
Our first reply from Black Diamond expressed disbelief that the tent has problems, and hinted that we have misused it in some way. Here are some quotes:
Frankly I have never heard of this fabric leaking as you are describing.
I have not known the Todd-Tex fabric to leak unless it has been damaged by mildew or contaminated with some type of oil.
Please give me as much information as you can concerning the life/use of this tent that may explain why it has started leaking.
Please understand we just dont hear this. Something unusual has to be going on.
The problems listed were not caused by misuse. When you spend a small fortune on a tent and it is the only home you have, you look after it well. We wash, with water, the tent occasionally, and always make sure it has dried before packing it up and riding each day. And according to online reports at least two other serious cases of this kind of leaking of Todd Tex fabric have been reported to Black Diamond.
For a large collection of photos of the tent in action in almost 20 countries around the world and a daily blog detailing our adventures up to this point please have a look at our website www.grandcycletour.com.
We will update this review as soon as we here back from Black Diamond.
Member since
This is an update to the earlier review. Black Diamond have sent us a new tent, and it arrived almost immediately. It looks (and smells) fantastic, but unfortunately I could barely get the awning pole in, the fabric is just too tight. It looks as though the eyelets, once again, will not last long. I'm seam sealing it now. Fingers crossed it works better this time. If you're interested in seeing its progress check out www.grandcycletour.com.
I think this tent is rubbish
Member since
I do not understand the design of this tent.
Its ok if you ALWAYS camp in dry conditions.
But as soon as its wet you cannot open the doors (Why do they open to the floor??) without getting wet.
Also when you open the doors in the morning the water drips in from the roof.
I bought the vestibule in the hope it would improve things... It does a little, but the hole where the pole goes in ripped out in the first week. I fixed that with ducktape.
Its not very stable.
You cannot put it up when you can't use pegs. I used to have a north face tent, that is completely worn out after much use (Im riding a bicycle around the world so camp a lot)
I really do not like this tent at all. Waste of money. Actually I think Im going to send it back.
It looks nice in pictures though.

Member since
I'm going to be climbing aconcagua next year and slowly accumulating some gear. A tent is my big issue. Is the BD AHWAHNEE suitable for two guys around six foot for possibly 20 windy days? i'm thinking the vestibule would be necessary for gear. any thoughts?
Aaron Wilbur
Member since
The Ahwahnee would definitely be suitable, but only if you got a vestibule. The tent is 7.5' long and 4.4' wide. That seems roomy, but mark it out on your floor and play camp, get a feel for how much room that actually is. The vestibule adds 13 square feet, and you can get two of them if you feel inclined.
If you are worried about the wind, the ahwahnee can take it. However, due to it's steeper walls, it can get shaky in there. I would recommend looking at the Fitzroy as well, as it is unaffected by the wind. Seriously, it doesn't move.
Lastly, get an attic. They are cheap, light, and add a lot of livability to the tent.
Member since
Tom, Todd Bibler himself has advised a few people personally that the BD Bibler Ahwahnee is not best intended for full on mountaineering- and after using the Ahwahnee for the last 8 months in almost 20 countries I would agree. However, I do think that it is the only true 4 season tent available on the market, every other so called 4 season is absolutely unbearable in summer.
As Aaron mentioned in the previous post a BD Fitzroy, or IMO a Nemo Tenshi, are much better suited to what you are doing.

I've been using Ahwahnee & the 4-person Pueblo for over 15 years and have had only great experience with both models. First off, seam seal all seams and floor, using Seam Grip. Then feel comfortable in every kind of Alaskan and NW weather. I've been secure and comfortable in all varieties of rain, sleet, snow and wind (up to 80 mph). And the venting, using the drop down door/window feature protected by the cross-pole overhang, works splendidly with zero condensation. As regards comments about poles, pole retainers and button seating, I've had zero problems! I've nearly worn my Pueblo out, only because it's seen too much UV over its 13 year life- it still hasn't failed although it has severly faded. If you've the money for the purchase, you won't regret it. Obviously any tent is subject to abuse from being stepped on or having a horse fall on it, but then to make a backcountry tent immune to those such abuses would put it outside the realm of packability and practicality! I would definately buy another or recommend them to a friend.

Hi Bill, what happened to your first one?
Piece of Sh#t.
Member since
I purchased this tent from reviews and Biblers namesake. Within 5 minutes after opening the package and beginning the setup to see what I bought I was beginning the process of repackaging for return. There are too many fail points to believe this tent costs this much. I am a professional guide and backcountry pilot in AK and we torture our gear. Not because we want to but because the backcountry here weeds out the crap that people try to sell as dependable. This tent was born to fail if you use it like a pro. Plastic pole fasteners. Press fit button pole seats in the FLOOR. Two pole design that if one fails or bends the whole tent looses its structural integrity. Ever fall on your pack? Ever sit on it? Ever bend a tent pole? If one of these poles gets bent the Ahwahnee tent will blow over in light wind. NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Bibler had a good idea but failed to reinforce the primary pieces of a true backcountry tent. Rugged dependability is the goal in a tent this price. Buy one to depend on when the elements are trying to kill you. This tent is not that tent. Save your money and buy something that is NOT MADE IN CHINA. We looked at it at our outfitters and laughed at it. DO NOT BUY. DO NOT BUY. DO NOT BUY.
Member since
Hey, just wondering what do recommend/what are you now using now that you have sent it back?

Funny how nobody has anything to say about these things failing on their tent. Maybe Bibler did think about it a little. Better check D's review below.

Easily the most simple and versatile tent on the market. This tent preforms well in cold snowy conditions and is unbeatable when it comes to desert camping. the tent has excellent ventilation and its single wall design allows it to be sealed to keep the sand out. easy to set up and quiet in the wind. Not one but two optional vestibules allow you to customize the tent to any trip and give you the option of saving weight when you don't need them. the fabric breaths well and is more effective at managing moisture than any other I've seen on the market. Simply put, there is nothing not to like about this tent. simple, durable, everything you need, nothing you don't.

What's the coldest anyone has been out in with this tent? Could it handle CO mountains in the winter?

It is made for 4 season camping so that would include winter in the Rockies. So you should be good to go.

Associate in Arts Degree Program (Transfer)
Generally, Philosophy asks major questions about reality, existence and living that can be broken down into descriptive and prescriptive questions. These are perennial questions that have puzzled people in general and philosophers in particular for thousands of years. Philosophy can be seen as the effort to better understand questions such as these and to "try out" possible answers to them. These questions fall into one of the following categories:
- Descriptive Philosophy - asks questions like: What is? What are? How is? How do? Could we?
- Prescriptive Philosophy - asks questions like: How should we? What should we? Should we? How ought we?
- Logical Reasoning - Applies to all philosophical reasoning. Asks questions like what are the rules for valid reasoning? What makes an argument valid? What makes an argument convincing? Is mathematics reliable? What constitutes a valid proof?
The UCC program of study in Philosophy is approved for transfer to other major institutions throughout the country that offer majors in Philosophy. Most major institutions such as UO, OSU, and PSU that offer a well rounded program of undergraduate and graduate study also offer majors in Philosophy.
Philosophy 201, 202 and 203 at UCC are online introductory undergraduate courses that are intended to introduce students to philosophy as a rational, systematic study of these and similar philosophical questions. It should be stressed that these are all online courses.
Appropriate companion courses to those studying Philosophy as a major or for a person simply interested in philosophical questions and reasoning would be: Humanities electives, English, Writing, Literature and World History. In addition other courses that would help in the understanding of philosophical issues are: social science electives, and science and math electives.

Increasing taxes and -- the tax rates go -- people make when it to a 50000 dollars a year as I understand that that's about 85 billion dollars a year.
But to fund the government about eight days.
85 guys a lot of money but if you.
Actually look to government waste even senator Tom -- is identified.
Twenty billion dollars recently in -- and anyone thought about going to get this revenue.
From the waist and seeing just how much we really need.
Well the promises usually been that if you raise taxes of this spending cuts will come later.
And they never seen them become manifest -- not even spinning cut special weight well yeah I mean we've.
Wasted enough fraud and abuse or the famous three.
-- horsemen of of cuts.
But the practice that.
Many times are harder to get to that it would appear but I I think Tom -- has done a great service by identifying a lot of duplication and waste in the government including in the Pentagon on the defense hawk but I think the Pentagon needs to do a better job when it comes to handling the people's money to.
But you can't get the sort of you can't close that gap between spending and the debt by just raising taxes on the two upper income tax bracket you gonna have to deal.
With more fundamental ways to -- the spending curve.
As -- to deal with our broken entitlements like Medicare and Social Security.
As you stand here today what do you think is likely gonna happen are we gonna go off the fiscal -- -- this -- -- all last minute hostile.
Between that Galen here in -- every package together -- not very satisfactory -- anyone's really not likely solve our nation's problems.
Well I'm I'm feel like it's more likely than not we will go off the cliff and I'm not convinced that's not the president's plan.
Patty Murray one of the leading Democrats give a speech a few weeks ago at Brookings institute said.
If they had to go off the fiscal cliff in order to generate additional taxes that they want.
They would be willing to do so.
I think that's incredibly reckless because a lot of Americans are going to be put out of work.
The economy is gonna crater we're going to be in a recession again and I think once you start down that road it's hard to know -- Actually expected -- -- -- got this good -- man standing in the defense industry if I lose your job -- -- -- -- -- there but I'm curious to supposing you just you know you're shopkeeper in the middle part of the country we've got this booklet what does it mean for you.
Well we know that the economy needs to grow at 3% probably closer 4% or better in order to create new jobs to make up for the increase -- population.
And right now our unemployment rate has been.
Unacceptably high for a long time around seven point 9% and -- economy's growing you're not creating the jobs necessary to bring the unemployment number down.
What it means we go off the cliff is the economy's gonna quit growing as fast a matter fact it will go on -- negative growth or recession.
A lot of people will be put out of work and certainly no new jobs being created because of the uncertainty of this fragile economy.
What the president wants to go -- that this Atlanta mayor frank -- with the why we are why we have this brinksmanship.
Well because I think that he sees this -- his ultimate leverage I think he also thinks he got some sort of mandate.
From the election which I think he's mistaken about we got exactly the same after the election that we had before and that's divided government.
Which to me means that.
The American people trust neither political party have all the answers.
Last time we had the president's party complete control government for the first two years the Obama administration we've got obamacare.
We got the stimulus we've got a lot of spending.
That's contributed to the death.
So what we need to do is a reasonable thing that is try to work together to try to bridge our differences you're right nobody is gonna get all of what they want.
But I think this is an area where the 8020 rule might apply you get 80% of what we.
Finding common we need to do and leave the other 20% -- -- Is the other 20% for you and other Republicans the willingness to budget time the tax rates for the wealthiest Americans or that not.
Not within that 20% margin you're willing to give up.
What -- said -- additional revenue is on the table but that would primarily be by capping deductions for wealthy do Americans.
The problem when you raise tax rates is it impacts a lot of people who -- business income.
On an individual tax returns sole proprietorship and partnerships subchapter S corporations not to get down to down and dirty.
In the in the weeds but the fact of the matter is it will depress economic growth which is something we need to grow in order to create jobs and put America back to work.
I switch topics one last question with a disability for veterans there's been an incredible backlog for disabled veterans.
I understand that at least something is -- forward to try to address an issue.
Well today we passed an amendment that I offered to the defense bill which would.
Create up.
Force that the Veterans Affairs Department create a plan to deal with this unacceptable back more about 600000.
Backlog VA claims which means it and -- at least 125.
There's a lot of veterans who -- not getting sort of service that they deserve -- that they burned by the by their -- to our country.
Everybody on board on that one pretty much to -- like -- wants to withholding some veterans gorgeous -- look right but for some reason we never could get a plan out of the Veterans Affairs Department this.
Legislation which passed 95 to zero in the senate.
Will compel the veterans administration come up with a plan so hopefully chip away.
At that backlog of people benefits -- -- -- senator thanks -- thank you very much.

So my wife and I have been doing some experiments over the winter, trying different combinations to create our own menus for this summer's backpacking trips. The goal is to create meals that taste good, are very lightweight, and have a ton of calories. And ideally, they should be cheap, too!
Our average freeze dried dinner weighs in at about 6-8 ounces, and usually has about 350 calories or so per serving. It costs about $6-8, and is a bit big and clunky--we always repackage in baggies. That means they are about 100 Calories per ounce. And about a penny per calorie.
We want to beat those ratios.
Sound impossible? Maybe. But in working through the options, we found something that does a pretty good job of meeting all those criteria.
So check out the Slim Jim beef stick: 170 calories, and less than a buck.
That's 170 calories per ounce...and about 1.7 calories per penny.
Now we are curious. Can any of the foods in your backpack beat that?

By 2016 her jowls will weigh 10 lbs. apiece or her face will be stretched like Joan Rivers.....
I thought monster movies were going out of style.
FTA: "He added: ´I´ve always seen her (Mrs Clinton) in the public light and formal and buttoned-down, and here she is making out with Bill"I really don´t want to imagine that picture in my head.
Have the Centers For Disease Control been made aware of this new video emetic?
Did he also say to her depends on what "is" is during flirtation?
I don´t feel good...
She was a vapid pain in the ass during the Watergate hearings. One could fill a tome with her documented lies over the past few decades. She was a major player in or solely responsible for every Clinton scandal. She told Bill not to settle with Paula Jones which resulted in the clod´s impeachment and she should still be in jail for what she personally did to Billy Dale and the rest of the WH travel staff. BUT unfortunately if a leftist dirt-ball like 0bama can get elected -twice!- in what used to be America, anything can happen. Lord help us.
Hillary put her Bill before her career. Oh Yeah?we remember How she promised a Dem leadership caucus that she would get the goods on Nixon for them even if you had manufacture some.We learned you didn´t have the personality to follow your great career until you latched onto fellow committee 20 something Bill Clinton. You had to settle for making Bill President to collect your Dem debt because you didn´t and still don´t have the charm or brains to make the grade.Call it a day make your deal and leave.
The National Enquirer says she has brain cancer and dementia.It´s over. She can no longer get elected because of her perceived health issues.
Does the movie start with her parents naming her after Sir Edmund Hillary?
The regular Daily Mail kneepad edition for anything Clinton or Obama.
Yuck!!! Someday it may dawn on me why ANYONE has a high regard for this women. Democrat love is devout, JFK, Roosevelt, Truman, etc I get. I don´t agree, but I get. But Hitlery has zero redeeeming qualities. I mean, she belabors Assad with those dead eyes and the "Syria must do this, and must do thats" and I side with the mass-murdering dictator!
She was never a member of the House Judiciary Committee. She was a member of the inquiry staff.
And it was during her Wellesley years that she came to idolize Saul Alinsky. It´s been said that he offered her a job after reading her senior thesis, of which he was the subject.She must never, EVER be president.
Will Sandra Fluke play her role?
The Cankle Chronicles
Does the movie include her escapades at Eden Isle and The Red Apple Inn in Arkansas?Vince can´t talk, but the neighbors can.
Are they going to accurately portray her with greasy, stringy hair, coke bottle glasses, and hirsute axillae and legs and the gait of cage fighter?
I´d rather have my eyes poked out with a sharp stick than watch.
Hillary flunked the D.C. bar exam, and was fired from the watergate committee...she also practiced law without a license for a year, as legal counsel to the Children´s Defense Fund.
Working Title: The Lying Witch in the Polyester Pantsuit Wardrobe
PIAPS made a lot of money buying cattle futures. We need to look into investing in barf bags which can be sold outside the theaters showing the film. Can be purchased entering the theater and leaving.
Vince Foster gives it 4 out of 5 stars!
Oh, dear Lord...I´m just getting over a dreadful sickness. I cannot click on the article lest I suffer a relapse.
The two black and white pix of her in the dark tshirt and miniskirt and circle necklace at the middle of the spread are attractive, as is the single picture of her as senator. It´s baffling that she could go so downhill after the senator experience. All the others look like hell.
No movie of Hillary will be complete without the scenes of her at the Marine recruiting center, and under sniper fire in Bosnia. /s
So, she went to Arkansas only after failing the DC bar exam? How is that "following her heart"? Sounds like an accurate assessment of the situation. Since she was singing You´re So Vain to herself, she obviously still had a tiny bit of rationality left. In any event, if her maroon husband hadn´t been elected President, she´d still be a hack lawyer in the boonies. Sort of a low-rent Gloria Steinem.
Speaking of funny hippie pictures, get a load of the current (staid) president of Colombia during his wild ´n´ crazy hippie days:http://www.jetset.com.co/de-boca-en-boca-chismes-noticias-de-farandula/articulo/santos-el-estudiante/5665
#11, the Mail has a well-earned reputation for tongue-in-cheek reporting. Note the comment following Bill Clinton´s reported preference for Meryls Streep:However given that it would be about Mrs Clinton in her 20s a much younger actress would have to play the part.You have to imagine the tongue in the cheek, the cheeky grin, and the rolling eyes of the writer. (Conservative Britons are not keen on the Streep version of Baroness Thatcher.)
I think Jennifer Flowers should be on set as an artistic consultant ("let me give you your inspiration", etc.).
It sorta brings to mind that dance on the beach, don´t it?
Will Kathy Griffin play Hillary?
The entire dem party is scripted by hollyweird. mmm mmm mmm
she has morphed into looking like Truman Capote in her latest pix leaving the hospital..
This movie must have been made for the Sci-Fi channel.
On the news, pantsuit futures are up 250...

loyola MAROON LOYOLA UNIVERSITY NEW ORLEANS APRIL 29,1977 VOI.. LI 11 NOE4 SBA allocation intact Aidoo threatened veto By Dwan Singleton A $595 allocation to the Student Bar Association for a national convention, threatened by SGA presidential veto, was kept intact after an SBA representative said the purpose of the convention was not to lobby for minority programs. The $595 allocation, pared from an original allocation of $850, was approved at the SGA's meeting last Thursdav, April 21. SGA president Joe Aidoo was prepared to veto the allocation unless the SBA agree to send a woman or a minority student to the convention. Aidoo said he and other delegates thought the purpose of the convention was to lobby for programs on women-in-law and migrant workers, and therefore felt a woman or a minority student should make the trip. However Phil deVerges, Student Bar Association president, and Paul Pastorek, president of the law school delegation to the SGA, told Aidoo the conference, an annual affair, was not specifically to lobby for minority purposes. The veto would have been Aidoo's first of his administration. Aidoo also threatened to veto a $528 allocation to the Rugby Club for uniforms and equipment unless the club state in a letter that the SGA would not be asked (o fund such expenses in the future. At an emergency meeting Tuesday, the SGA voted $200 to join the National Student Association. The previous SGA administration under Anne Bienfang did not pay the national dues. "Some of the major things they do." Aidoo said of the association, "are (that) they have a travel bureau that can give discounts especially to out of town students who want to travel. Besides that they have a list of programs and other things that you can establish on campus. They are there for the interests of higher education in the country." The SGA also decided to allocate $400 for registration fees to the National Student Association's annual conference in Houston this summer. The money will also pay for renting a car to make the trip. Aidoo said he didn't know who was going to go to the convention, but he hoped the delegation presidents would be able to go. Debate on the allocation centered on whether the SGA should be spending the money for the conference. Former SGA president Sean O'Keefe felt the money should not be spent. "Observing the SGA for the very brief time it's been in office," O'Keefe said, "there are quite a few organizational difficulties which I think can be easily rectified over the summertime; but until which time this in-house organization is taken care of, its financial responsibilities rectified, its organizational structure ilarified, to go outside the organization .nay be an expense which has diminishing margins of utility." "I think the (National Student Association) is an extraordinarily beneficial organization... The only point I would like to caution is the SGA has currently spent almost $1,000 in the past two weeks. That's rather high." The SGA also reimbursed Tri Beta $150 after its car broke down on the way to a convention and they had to rent a car. The SGA also chartered the American Marketing Association. Warm weather and dear skies make it hard for students to concentrate on exams, but it is only two more weeks till the whole semester is over. So cheer up and keep studying! Ruth Largay will become the MAROON s new editor in the fall. Photo By Eddie Leckert. Will -. Reporters don't stand a chance What most people define as political bias in today's press coming out of Washington can be more accurately described as a tone of ignorance, according to George Will, syndicated columnist and Pulitizer Prize winner for news commentary. Will, who spoke here earlier this week, gave his opinions about the press and news coming out of the nation's capital. "What bothers people the most about journalism, newspaper journalism in particular, is that there is a tone of skeptism. Though it strikes people as a political bias and a tone of arrogance, it is really a tone of ignorance," Will said. Will explained that this problem arises because Washington's large concentration of Ph.D's and lawyers is becoming so complex. He added that the press corps in Washington has grown, but Washington has grown so much more. "The problem of Washington journalism is that the government sets the agenda of the news. The government in a very important sense defines the news," Will expressed. Will said the government has more time to gather information and investigate than the average journalist or editor can afford to give to one topic. He added that it is easier for newspapers to print the information the government releases, than to check the facts behind it. Besides the fact that government officials have more time to get information, Will felt the print journalist is discouraged by the amount of false information he receives. He cited the competition of television as another factor of the journalist's insecurity. "I have the gravest doubts about whether television ought to be in the news business at all," Will said. Will felt the American public may be over exposed to government and public affairs, and this makes it hard to get people interested. Will listed several reasons why he felt television was at a disadvantage in news reporting. First, he felt television was a slave to the camera, which he sees as a superficial news gathering instrument. He felt the brevity of a newscast made TV news into a headline service, and its visual aspect prevented it from reaching the real depth of a story. "Everthing in America has been shaped indelibly by this media. Television has shaped the type of people we are," Will aid. Will said that he felt journalism as a whole does not depict any philosophy. He feels that public claims of the press trying to influence public opinion are wrong. "The power of the press may be a myth of some sort. If by power we mean anything rigorous, it is very hard to demonstrate that the press has or wants to have power," Will said. Concerning whether the press tries to achieve entended effects, Will said, "The press is too busy to try to change public opinion." In closing, Will discussed his feelings that Americans have more available news information than any other country. He felt that in spite of all the weakenesses of American journalism, Americans can be exposed to events quickly and easily. In conclusion, Will said, "The average American is full of news. He is tired of it. He is generally more interested in Paul Newman. It is a sign of national health. They are happy: no riots, no particular reason to be unhappy." MAROON elects new editor Ruth Largay, newly elected editor of the MAROON for the fall semester, will strive to have the MAROON fulfill the needs of the campus community and have a more aesthetic appeal. "The MAROON is not giving students and faculty enough in depth coverage of news events and social topics," Largay said Largay was born in Mobile, Alabama and grew up in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. She presently works in the Public Relations office as a publications coordinator and has worked on design, layout, and writing news releases and features. She served as layout editor for the MAROON in the spring of 1976 and as a reporter in the fall of 1976. Largay also worked as a copy person on the Mobile Press Register in Mobile, Alabama. Largay plans to change the total design of the newspaper and go to a magazine format. She will place an advertisement in the first issue of the fall semester to solicit information from departments on campus "If that doesn't work, Til just pick up the phone and contact the key persons," Largay said. Largay wants to increase the "dedicated members" of the staff. She places emphasis on bringing more people not in journalism into the MAROON. "I want to get students who are not journalism majors working on the paper." Largay named Cheron Brylski, a journalism major from New Orleans, as managing editor.

Sad what has happened here. This was an excellent book store at Christmas but since then the chairs and many of the books are gone.
Hands down best wine store in Tucson. Best wine tastings, best service and best wines. A little hard to find and doesn't look like much but well worth the effort.
I can relate to the above posting! I've had issues with this woman as well and she is an owner- I dont want to say her full name, but it's very unique and begins with an A. I'd be very careful when working w her and tread lightly. I worked with her on and off w/o problem and she was quite helpful as I'd been struggle with some very serious spiritual issues. I started noticing problems during sessions when I would be sharing about my experiences and things that helped me, and she seemed more interested on touting her own abilities and her own 'huge' role in my spiritual experience. However, the last straw was when she started trying to charge me for a double session with one of her colleagues when I only had one, saying something to the effect of, 'well, your parents can afford it.' (I dont think so!) I was told my session would run b/w 1-1.5 hrs and that's what I was given. When I bucked back, insisting the extra money, I'd been guilted into paying, be refunded, and tried to straighten out the discord b/w us, she informed me that "it isnt all about you!" (um, last time I checked my paid appt session was all about me!) Then later she said her 'angels had informed her that our time working together was complete and that I should find someone closer to where I live.' This woman is the real deal and in the past did great work. However somewhere along the line her huge ego has gotten in the way, and is seriously clouding and adversely affecting the work. I also think she's way overextended working too many hours and cramming too much in which is not good for a psychic energy healer who needs to maintain healthy balance. I'm an energy healer and channeler of divine energy too, and I mean, really? Using your angelic guides as the heavy, bc I wasnt willing to pay twice for services I had once?! Thats really unethical, unprofessional and it's not the hallmark of a high quality, high integrity lightworker, channeler and energy healer. She used to do good work, but somewhere along the line something got really askew. And she does also randomly walk up to people and start telling them stuff that they may not be wanting to hear. She should respect people's boundaries and not just bombard people with that information- it's like peeping in someone's window and private space: you just dont do that! Respect their personal boundaries and ask first. After all this happened, then one of the other owners became very gruff and almost mean with me. I dont feel comfortable or welcome going to SpiritsChild anymore. I would tread very lightly when going there: what used to be a very light place, seems to have some rather dark elements now!
I had a beautiful reading with a sweet guy there. Kind of young looking but very good. After I was done a woman, i think the owner, came out and started giving me in solicited advice and telling me that she can do energy work to clear me. I did not appreciate this bombardement and was wondering why she was doing energy work and giving unsolicited advice when I was not her client. I found her to be quite brazen and would not return . Also I have found items sold here at other places much cheaper. She has a good selection of fairies but you can buy them elsewhere much cheaper .
We've moved offices and are now located at 990 E 17th St, #100, Tucson, AZ 85719

Very good place to experience various types of meditation. Eclectic in its approach.
Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone takes their time explaining the details of the park. They give suggestions for walks, short or long. They remind everyone to drink a lot of water, use sunscreen often and wear a hat & sunglasses. I am handicapped and I was able to go for walks too. It is beautiful.
Good big floor. The instructor who the studio provided only had a few months of dance experience and it showed bad! We later overheard the studio's manager talking rudely about other students and teachers behind their back. Ultimately, we decided not to sign his contract.
Good used book store. Frequent events. I've seen everything from book signings to reptile displays. Free wifi. For sale are movies, CDs, decorations, video games, musical instruments, board games, puzzles, and I think they have a used book or two there also...
Best prices for cards. Fun atmosphere. Also, one of the top rated judges presides over the events. Good people. Good times.
I came to this place of Love & Oneness almost a year ago. Since then I have met the most loving group of friends i could ever imagine. For me it`s like Heaven on Earth. We are family in a way i never could have understood before. The energy we share uplifts, heals, loves & support`s us all as we are spiritual beings. In these human bodies it`s easy to forget about our spiritual energy. Tamara brings the best of this energy out.. you can`t help but feel it when you walk into the door. It has been actively serving the Healing & Spiritual need`s of those seeking it for over 30 years now. Namaste <3Debra Butler
A truly fun experience with a very knowledgeable store keeper. Carries a variety of local and regional sauces, syrups, honeys and jellies that are not easily found elsewhere.
This palce sucks! Terrible instruction, over-priced, dirty studio, no hot water, no consistant schedule, unqualified instructors...poorly run.
Don't go here.
Only decent grocery store in Tucson. Terrific produce selection and quality, best butcher case and the ONLY place left in town to buy seafood. With the typical Tucsonan's taste for chain restaurants, it's hard to believe they stay in business.
Wow! I don't know what the first reviewer is talking about. Sounds like a punk to me. I have only recently started doing business with Magic Tower with the release of Innistrad. The owner (I think his name is Matt) has always been very helpful and informative. I have learned a lot about MTG from him. I have found him to be generous in his dealings and he offers excellent prices. He is always inviting me to come to the store and play, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I am on my way over there today to see if I can still get in on the pre-order for Dark Ascension. I have recommended Magic Tower to my friends and will continue to do so.
I don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about. The owner is outgoing, welcoming and his store is very clean and professional.
I am 100% sure his review is only one side of a story where he was being an asshole to the owner. The customer does not have the right to be an asshole to a store clerk or store owner.
The worst ever! Unprofessional, sloppy stylists working in a dirty salon with an owner that will fabricate/lie about the work of her stylists if a complaint is made. Not even remotely customer service oriented. Jerica did a horrible job coloring my hair and even though she used foils for color, left a 1/8 or my original hair color showing. I wrote a review for their Oracle location immediately after my tie dye hair job and it has since mysteriously disappeared along with the listing for that location. I don't generally complain and am busy person. When I did complain to the owner about my experience there, she lied about her stylists actions and her observations. A stylist can have years of experience and still do a crappy job, especially if they spend the majority of the appointment time talking to the stylist next to them who happened to be the owner. No wonder they do bad work if the owner has such low standards about doing their own client and feels free to discuss other co-workers in front of clients. I felt so horrible and shocked about my experience that I said whatever I had to say to get out there as quickly as possible. I did get the hair color that I as looking for on the first try, from another salon.

The diablo series was created as singleplayer with multiplyer options. If they want to gimp singleplayer and cannot be bothered monitoring multiplayer correctly they could atleast name it right
Created as that, and evolved.
It's now a multiplayer game with the ability to do it solo. Simple as that.
Anyone else feel this is just going in circles?

(AP) -- The South Carolina Air National Guard plans to conduct an air defense exercise in the skies above Florence.
Guard spokesman Maj. Jim Roth says Wednesday's scheduled exercise includes F-16 fighter jets and a single-engine aircraft.
The fighter jets are practicing an intercept and escort of the single-engine aircraft.
Roth says the early evening exercise is a routine practice and that it should not alarm residents. He says such exercises are carefully planned and closely controlled.
Roth says the exercises allow the South Carolina Air National Guard to keep alert and respond to airborne threats over the United States.

Jillian Bell - EC Editor
Many authors tell of writing stories from the time they could hold a pencil or, in the great oral tradition, making them up even before then. Jillian has been editing since she first realized the power of the red crayon. She has been with EC since 2009, but has worked in literary, academic and legal editing since [censored—it's a woman's prerogative not to reveal her age, after all].
Jillian lives and loves in NYC, which she insists on claiming is the best city in the whole world, but she's up for traveling to confirm. Oddly, she roots for Pittsburgh sports teams (and hunky tennis players). Jilly would spend all day reading in the sun, curled up like a cat if she could, and she loves helping authors tell their stories so others can do so. In her favorite stories, nothing is too taboo, and the more the merrier in the bedroom.

(8) Kansas State vs. (9) Southern Miss Preview
Posted By Yannis Koutroupis On March 11, 2012 @ 7:00 pm In All,NCAA | No Comments
(8) Kansas State Wildcats
The trademark of Frank Martin-coached teams is being tough and physical on the defensive end. This year's group is no different. They aggressively protect the rim, led by Jordan Henriquez's 2.3 rejections a night. They're one of the best rebounding teams in the field, winning the battle of the boards by five on average. Coach Martin will regularly go nine deep, largely due to the frequent foul trouble his team gets into. They committed 20 fouls a game during the regular season. That will be a major concern in tournament play, especially if Rodney McGruder is forced to sit early because of it. They really rely on him offensively; they were 7-2 when he scored 20 or more. To win in the big dance for the third-straight year, the Wildcats will have to properly adapt to the way the officials are calling the game and make sure that they don't leave too many points at the foul line. They only shot 66 percent as a team from the charity stripe. Against the RPI Top 50, the Wildcats were 5-6.
(9) Southern Miss Golden Eagles
The Golden Eagles are back in the tournament for the first time since 1991 and only the third time in school history. They're in by being the only DI team to go undefeated at home while having a strong RPI and strength of schedule. They're a balanced squad with six guys who average at least nine points. Neil Watson is their leading scorer with 12, but it's a coin flip as to who will lead the Golden Eagles offensively on any given night. Despite their variety of options the Golden Eagles are not an overly efficient team, shooting just 41 percent from the field while averaging just 11 assists total. They actually allow their opponents to shoot better from the field than they do at 43 percent. Defensively, they give up 64 points a night. They went 9-3 against the RPI Top 75, with two wins against teams in the Top 25 and six against teams in the 51-75 range.
HOOPSWORLD's pick: Kansas State. The Wildcats defense and physicality will bother the Golden Eagles and help them advance.
Who do you think is going win? Chime in by leaving a comment below!

Carolina Panther card/memorbilla/auto's collectors...
Best Answer tukafan21, 04 November 2013 - 05:27 PM
So I just got my end in the mail today of the trade I made last week where I had to give up 4 Stewart 1/1's, had to give up my 2013 Certified Auto 1/1, 2012 Certified Patch 1/1, 2013 RS 1/1, and that 2011 P&P Reebok logo 1/1
In return I FINALLY got my 2012 Prizm Auto /3 to finish off my complete rainbow as well as getting his 2013 Finest Blue plate in the deal so I now have the full rainbow (super included) and 3 of the 4 plates.
That doesn't seem like enough to get in return for 4 Stewart 1/1's?
Hmmmmmmmm, strange
Oh yea, he threw this into the deal as well

No, it looks great!
Is it a LaFell one? Those 'cards' are amazing
Posted 12 January 2013 - 03:26 AM
looks like it also fits in there nicely, I bought one of those booklet cases for my Cam Playbook Auto but the card was way too small, had a good half inch of extra length in the case, it fit my Stewart TTT Booklet that I got a month or so later though

I swear I just got a little hard after seeing that Cam!!! Holy poo!! LKM when you want to sell it. I just sold my Kapernick auto and have some cash lol That Stewart Rainbow is awesome as well look forward to you finishing the set!
hahaha, I felt a little tingle in my shorts when I opened up the package, looks so sick in person
I got a ridiculous deal on it because the seller was an idiot and didn't put "auto" in his listing, just "RPA"
And even on top of that I'm almost upset that I got it as there is something else that I just found on ebay that I might have jumped on had I not bought this. I shouldn't have bought this as is, so dropping another 200+ on the other thing right now would just be asinine.
Posted 15 January 2013 - 03:16 PM
Posted 16 January 2013 - 01:09 AM
lol, thats a steal!! Damn I need to hunt Ebay more for Cam steals.And this one showed up today, and it was another steal, paid $27 for it and the seller bought it at auction a few weeks earlier for $70
Posted 16 January 2013 - 01:43 AM
lol, thats a steal!! Damn I need to hunt Ebay more for Cam steals.
I got lucky on this one
He listed it with the back of the card as the main picture and did a 24-hour auction starting at .99 with no reserve and I just happened to search for him right after he listed it, was probably the first time I searched for Cam in a few days at least
I won it for the exact amount of my snipe, it was like 26.78 or something, so I got lucky and guessed right, haha

the book cards are awesome I have 6 or 7 different ones now...

Conan O'Brien Fans Show Love Through Art
- 10.24.11
During the hullabaloo that led to Conan O'Brien leaving The Tonight Show, fervent fans rallied around the comedian. Some joined Facebook groups, others railed on Twitter and still more exhibited their love of O'Brien through art.
Now the tallest ginger on late-night TV (probably) is happily ensconced at Conan on TBS. But that doesn't mean there isn't still an outlet for Team Coco artwork.
Starting Monday, the New York Museum of Conan Art (aka NY Coco MoCA) is displaying more than 50 pieces of fan art created for the late-night TV star at the Time Warner Center in Manhattan's Columbus Circle. The exhibit also features an original sculpture by artist Federico Uribe.
The NY Coco MoCA exhibit will be on display until Nov. 3 and is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. If you're not in New York, you can check out a few samples of the geeky works on display in the gallery above.
