Hey guys,Its looking like I am going to be attempting a thru this upcoming summer starting around May 15th (class ends somewhere around there). I am looking for some constructive criticism on my gear list.NOTE: I am NOBOI am splitting some gear with my hiking partner: he is carrying a cook set for the both of us.I plan on switching to a MLD Prophet for the sierra.I will also have a 3L hoser system from Platy for the desert, and depending on how much I like it, keep it the whole way. Gear list: http://www.geargrams.com/list?id=8073Thanks in advance!

I tried the link ...nothing.
Hmmm the link work for me. Did you try copy and pasting it into your address bar?
hyper link
Has an thoughts? Any information would be helpful, especially from you guys who have already thru'd. I am sure that there will be questions that I will have to answer because my partner and I are splitting some gear.Thanks!
Didn't see your list, but you may want to consider the splitting gear thing.You'll need to consider each of your hiking speeds, need for stops/frequency of needing cooked meals/snacks, how many miles/day either of you will be able to do on a repeated basis, etc. Also, what will happen if one of you decides to end the attempt early. Will you be able to carry the rest of the gear you'll need, etc.
Patagonia Houdini, pants or jacket?It's a personal choice, but I don't like hiking all day in blazing sun in shorts. I saw lots of people with roasted legs in southern CA. I think loose long pants are cooler under such conditions and help prevent potentially dangerous sunburn.Do you only have one pair of walking socks? You'll want two, or three pair.What do you have protecting your head and neck from sun? Just a ball cap? I'd want at least a bandana for a Foreign Legion style neck shade if using a ball cap, or get a sun hat. Bring some sunscreen also. The sun ruins the day of many desert hikers!

The jacket. Sorry for the confusion. I agree about the pants. I think that I will be hiking in convertible pants the more I consider it. I have roasted my calves before in shorts and it is not fun.I usually only take one pair of walking socks and one pair of sleeping, but perhaps I will take an additional pair. I know Skurka recommends two or three I think....I will have a buff, forgot to add that to the list, I wll be sure to include it for my neck.

Thanks for the thoughts,-I have a whistle (just forgot to have it on the list)-are topo maps necessary before the Sierra?-have compass (again just orgot to put it on list)-will ass fire starter-plan on getting Zebralight headlamp-also I have changed my mind and I think that I will be hiking in pants and long sleeve shirt for sun protection
I'd carry some kind of maps the whole length of the PCT: USGS Topo or guidebook maps or Halfmile's maps; and/or a mapping GPS. In 2010 and '11 with the trail buried under crazy amounts of snow for hundreds of miles a mapping GPS was a nice thing to have. In a typical year I probably wouldn't carry one on the PCT but I definitely always carry a compass in the backcountry.
Wind shirt and rain jacket? You only need one and I'd recommend just the windshirt. Get a reflective umbrella for sun and rain protection. And personally I'd get rid of the down jacket, you're starting late enough. I like the comments to add pants -- light windpants work well for me -- although I did hike all day in shorts without a problem but I did use sunscreen until my tan set in.Sleeping underwear? Sounds like pajamas, get rid of them.You'll want a minimum of 3L of water capacity in the desert. I'd often carry 5 and only ever really need 3 or 4 for hot dry stretches -- take with a grain of salt I move quickly and sweat very little so adjust for your needs accordingly.You don't need a SPOT -- don't hurt yourself, common sense >> gadgets. And on that vein my first aid kit is gear repair items that I feel comfortable repairing myself with when needed: duct tape, needle thread, safety pins, and super glue. I agree with your sentiment, anything that requires more is probably a hike ender anyway. I am assuming the Nook is your journal/device other wise I'd say drop if for a smart phone that will do everything -- like voice recording for journaling which I am really excited to try myself this year. Bandana = towel (and neck shade as mentioned above). Learn to not use toilet paper -- the true divider between actual LNT and wilderness gapers.You don't need a pack liner. Wet shit takes all of 10 minutes in the sun to dry. Dry bag? Get rid of your inner and just use a head net.And my last suggestion is hit the trail with EVERY thing you and your partner might need solo. Hiking relationships should be fluid and relaxed. If you want to take an extra day in a town you should do it and if he wants to hike he should be able to do it too. Don't boat anchor yourself -- or set each other up for potential conflict/failure because the idea of 'solo' or 'alone' is foreign. Hiking alone is awesome and it makes you appreciate company when it's around.Edit: Definitely keep your ear plugs. Mosquitos biting doesn't really bother me as much as the buzzing. Ear plugs let me at least pretend they aren't there. Ear plugs are also vital if you're hanging out with hikers at hostels/hotels/angels places that are still drinking and you might be trying to get some sleep. Or if you choose to camp next to a road to make a quick resupply run in the AM. Ear plugs are in every single box I send myself.

This information should be relevant for both water strategies & gear choices:http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2013/11/11/california-dry-record
It's WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY.... TOO EARLY to be making plans based on what rain totals we've had or not had at this time of year.It can change from drought predictions to wettest year on record in a matter of weeks.By far, most of California's precip comes in February and March. If we get to March and it's still dry, then you can start making plans for a dry spring/summer.It's actually quite common to be dry until late Januray, then pour like crazy in February and March.Bill D
Bill,I imagine that the folks at the National Weather Center are also aware of the pattern(s) of California precipitation. I only posted it because I coincidentally heard this on NPR today; that's all.I'd like to think I personally wouldn't panic and take 50 extra platypus bladders based on this article but a little scientifically-based information shouldn't hurt for those hiking the PCT this next year.
Yea, I think what you've got is scientific information that is based on a VERY limited sample that is too limited and for a time of year that is not able to predict the future of the spring precipitation and NPR, like other media, dramatizing it out of proportion to any kind of reality.Best to relax and just see how it goes...b
I would highly recommend a headnet for mosquitoes, some DEET around the sierras, and a woven nylon shirt (rail riders ecomesh looked good and is well reviewed although I have not tried it myself). They are comfortable in the heat and keep the bugs off pretty well too. Some sort of synthetic insulation might be better suited for WA and maybe some wpb mitts, but that depends on when you get there. Looks like a good list otherwise. Have fun!
Bill D., I'm not advocating for any action from any hiker and even anyone who just lives in California. Also, your advice is sound to wait and see what conditions will be like in six months, when hikers start a northbound PCT hike. It's super easy to add or subtract gear as needed, even in the hours before a thru-hike was started. If I was going to hike, though, I would be putting together my gear list now and thinking about what those conditions might be.What I don't understand is your rationale for doubting the science. Here is the bio page for the interviewee, Bill Patzert. https://science.jpl.nasa.gov/people/Patzert/The data that prompted this interview is apparently based on the National Weather Services' 164 years (!) of collecting information. Those credentials seem enough to, at minimum, entertain that California might have fairly dry conditions next year.
"You don't need a pack liner. Wet shit takes all of 10 minutes in the sun to dry."I respectfully disagree. There might be lots of rain and little or no sun for days in Washington or even before. Most wet gear takes a lot longer than 10 minutes to dry. Plenty of people fall during creek crossings. Going light it's important to keep your sleeping gear dry. And water is heavy regardless.
"You don't need a pack liner. Wet **** takes all of 10 minutes in the sun to dry."I respectfully disagree. +1That advice may work elsewhere but it's no good for Washington (and probably much of Oregon as well). I personally use the Zpacks roll top dry bag as a pack liner. Weighs ~ 2oz and is well worth the peace of mind.Edit weight correction
Edited by IDBLOOM on 11/12/2013 09:35:50 MST.
Agree with Buck, it's just plain smart to protect important gear (down bag, puffy jacket, etc) from getting wet. A trash bag liner in your pack is like 1.5oz (or less) and can double as a place to lay out gear in camp.
Thanks for the comments Matthew, --I am back and forth on the rain jacket. I thought about the umbrella but I still wonder about driving rain and how annoying it would be to hold it and walk for hundreds of miles, especially in the wind. I plan on adding hiking pants and doing away with the shorts.--an extra pair of underwear is worth the few ounces for me.--the SPOT is not for me as much my family and friends. I cant cut that because they like to know whats going on. And I will likely need the electronics because I will be working on my thesis for my Masters while I hike, this will include taking notes, recording things etc--I would rather keep the pack liner and have dry clothes, and sleeping bag, but i could do away with stuff sacks and just use the liner as one big one...--that is good advice for hiking with a partner... I will consider that some more --thanks for the ideas regarding ear plugs, I will likely keep a pair, they weigh nothing and can come in handy.
For all the ideas! These help out a lot and give me ideas for the hike. What do you guys recommend as far as bear canisters are concerned for the Sierra?
"What do you guys recommend as far as bear canisters are concerned for the Sierra?"Do you anticipate using a can other times so that you want to own one? In that case I'd get a Bear Vault.If you think you only want one for the Sierras and never again, you could consider renting a Bearikade. Too expensive for me to want to own one, I have bear vaults, but a friend rented one to hike the PCT and was happy with it.In part, the question relates to your resupply plan --- i.e., Kearsarge pass or not, climbing Whiteney or not, MTR vs. VVR, etc.
"In part, the question relates to your resupply plan --- i.e., Kearsarge pass or not, climbing Whiteney or not, MTR vs. VVR, etc."To extend this from Brian's post, I would say that before you acquire a bear canister, you need to know how much volume you need in a bear canister, and that is generally a function of how many days you will be out between resupply points, such as the long piece from around Mount Whitney up to MTR. If you say that is going to be ten days, then that means something. If you say that is going to be only three days, then that means something totally different. If you know that you can eat OK on 100 cubic inches of packed food, then that means something. If you don't know how much volume your packed food is, then that is a problem.For short trips, I use a Bear Boxer or else a Bear Vault 450. For longer trips, I use a Bear Vault 500. You never want to have to carry more than one at a time, although it might be possible to switch between different ones during a trip by use of a bounce box.--B.G.--
I would like to carry obviously the lightest and smallest possible. So I would not resupplying more often than normal through the sierra if this let me carry a lighter, and more importantly for my pack, a smaller can. But there are really long stretches through the Sierra that have no resupply correct? I will be hiking likely around 25 miles a day (hopefully) if this means anything. I am a bit worried that my pack (MLD Prophet) will not be able to carry a can. I usually have quite a bit of room left in the pack but I have never had to deal with a can.Clint
Actually, if you can do 20 or 25 miles a day and are willing to camp at the existing bear boxes, then you don't need a bear canister at all.Last time I checked with SEKI thru hikers are allowed to use the steel bear boxes for overnight storage. Outside the bear canister required areas you are allowed to hang your food from trees... but that also limits your camp selections somewhat...you can google SEKI bear box locations... they are on a map ....there are also web sites devoted to PCT/JMT hikers that relate to this issue...Bill D.
Relating to this comment:"Actually, if you can do 20 or 25 miles a day and are willing to camp at the existing bear boxes, then you don't need a bear canister at all."Typically folks that are doing in the 20 - 25 MPD range in 'normal' terrain find themselves doing less through the Sierras in June. Snow, to include strategizing so as to not posthole a lot in the afternoons, plus the common strategy of "one pass per day" --- these tend to drop the daily mileage.If beyond the slower-in-snow plus "try not to posthole much" and pass-distribution factors you add the requirement to sleep in one of the limited places that offer a bear locker, I think you end up with too many constraints. I would encourage you to carry a (large enough) canister. Mail it to KM (Kennedy Meadows) already pre-packed (carefully, densely) with food. Mail it home from, say, one of the towns you can hitch to from Sonora Pass.
"Actually, if you can do 20 or 25 miles a day and are willing to camp at the existing bear boxes, then you don't need a bear canister at all.Last time I checked with SEKI thru hikers are allowed to use the steel bear boxes for overnight storage.

If you do go with a bear canister, we rent bearikade canisters at Sage to Summit in Bishop, CA. We also sell quite a few ultralight products if you need to resupply. www.sagetosummit.com.

(Jul 11, 2011) Pakistan and Sri Lanka held the tenth session of meetings of their Joint Economic Commission from July 4-5, 2011, in Islamabad, Pakistan. At the meetings, the two nations decided to hold a Free Trade Agreement review session in August in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and to discuss trade matters, including a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, in detail at that time. (Pakistan and Sri Lanka Agree to Negotiate Trade Agreements in August, COLOMBOPAGE (July 6, 2011).)
The decisions reached at the July session include a plan to have regular trade delegation visits between the two nations, to be held at least once a year. Businessmen from each country will be encouraged to take part in trade shows in the other country, and the governments will be reviewing their visa policies to ease the way for these visits. In addition, a joint committee for science and technology cooperation will be created. Furthermore, the State Bank of Pakistan has proposed offering a supplier credit of $200 million to Sri Lanka and will be discussing the details of that proposal with Sri Lanka's Ministry of Finance. (Id.)
The sessions were led by the Sri Lankan Minister for Industry and Commerce, Rishad Bathiudeen, and the Pakistani Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Finance, and Economic Affairs, Hina Rabbani Khar. Bathiudeen called the meetings very successful, and stated that "[b]oth governments have agreed to provide enhanced opportunities to the private sector to interact to benefit from untapped potential. Plans to cement links and other steps to further encourage Pakistani investors are on the cards." (Asif Fuard, Pakistan-Sri Lanka to Further Strengthen Trade Ties, HAVEERU ONLINE (July 7, 2011); COLOMBOPAGE, supra.)
Khar pointed to the decisions to exchange expertise in the fields of handicrafts, gems, and jewelry. Pakistan will provide assistance with training in these fields, while Sri Lanka offers help with training in nursing. (COLOMBO PAGE, supra.)
At present, Sri Lanka is a major regional trade partner of Pakistan. Ties between the two nations were enhanced due in part to Pakistan's assistance to the Sri Lankan government during that nation's war with the Tamil Tiger rebels. (Fuard, supra.)

There are some covers we love. And some covers we hate. And some covers that are so ridiculous on so many levels that all we can do is laugh. Cosmopolitan's September issue is one of those.
In lieu of a long and lengthy post written at 5PM on a summer Thursday, we thought we'd just give you the rundown of what exactly ran through our heads when we saw the cover. It goes a little something like this:
1. Wait, is that really the cover?
2. And does it really say "Untamed Va-Jay-Jays" in huge block letters somewhere above Jessica Alba's actual va-jay-jay? That's hilarious.
3. Jessica Alba is pretty.
4. Except… her head looks kind of funny. Isn't it kinda far over on her shoulders?
5. Stop being so cynical. She's just doing that thing where you pop your head over to the far right side of her shoulder. You could do it, too!
6. Wait. No, we can't. We just tried. Our head doesn't go that far over and stay straight. It's also kinda hard to smile when you're doing it.
7. Let's try the other side. No. That didn't work either. This is almost as bad as that Britney cover.
8. Photoshopped covers suck.

The Cardiff Rare Books Collection
About the collection: overview and highlights
The international significance of the Cardiff Rare Books Collection lies in its inclusion of a number of extremely rare and some unique items. Among its strengths are 175 incunabula (early printed books before 1500); a cross-section of Early Modern works that encapsulate the Renaissance and Reformation; around 500 Bibles; a world-class collection of Restoration drama, including rare Shakespearian material; significant holdings on natural history, topography and travel; and an extraordinary set of books from British private presses operating in the 19th and 20th centuries. Of the 14,000 items, initial surveys estimate that approximately one third of the collection can be classed as literary works. Another major feature of the collection is the rich strain of illustrated material that runs through the entire collection.
Many items in the collection are almost certainly not held in any other library collection in the world, and further books are only held in one other library. But the real value lies in the groupings of works: for example, a major set of 17th-century editions of Shakespeare is extremely rare, and the Restoration drama collection appears to be unique in its comprehensiveness. In addition to its Anglophone publications, the collection contains books in other European languages by Continental authors, with its incunable material representing outputs from the major centres of the early printed book (including Venice, Lyon and Nuremburg).
Although we are only beginning to uncover the sheer plenitude of research value that such a corpus will unlock for future generations of scholars, the following list represents highlights of the Cardiff Rare Books collection:
- Over 500 years of rare and esoteric material, ranging from A Trojan History (1472) to DanielS Jubb's flipbook of photographs, Bookcase (1994).
- A large body of works by major and minor literary figures of the 16th to early 18th centuries, with a particularly focus on Restoration drama: Cibber (28 vols), Congreve (16), Cowley (26), Dryden (128), Lee (44), Milton (51), Ottway (34), Shadwel (32), Shakespeare (236).
- Substantive materials from other periods: Chaucer (19 vols), Cowley (26), Defoe (19), Goldsmith (20), Smollett (38), Sterne (15), Swift (31), Yeats (31).
- A sizable collection of works from other cultures, in both their native language and translation: Boccaccio (81 vols), Dante (23), Homer (45), Horace (26), Ovid (38), Virgil (62).
- Works by key Western European theologians and mystics, including Aquinas, Calvin, Luther Tindale and Zwingli; as well as more esoteric volumes by Cornelius Agrippa, Apianus and Glanvil.
- A variety of other works in smaller numbers but bearing significant cultural freight, among them: early collections of Newton, Swift, Johnson and Boswell; originals and translations of Lope da Vega, Cervantes, Descartes and Voltaire; Bibles in numerous languages; sermons; political pamphlets; novels; poetry; specialist works on medicine, botany, topography and travel, to illustrated private presses including 38 volumes from William Morris's Kelmscott Press.
The full scope of the collection will become clearer as cataloguing continues, and Information Services staff are currently processing and prioritising works for conservation, online cataloguing and selective digitisation in a three-year programme, which has already won an Esmee Fairbairn external grant of over £90,000 to begin the cataloguing, and another £25,000 from the Colwinston Trust for conservation work.

Orenda Elementary School Reviews
A wonderful experience
My two children attended Orenda Elementary School. When our first child entered Orenda we were cautious not knowing how he would do in such a large district. We now know first hand that the district goes to great lengths to keep the elementary classrooms smaller so that children have resources to grow in those critical developmental years. Orenda is unique in that many of its teachers teach summer camps targeted to elementary age children that continue the learning experience in a very different way than what is experienced in the classroom. Orenda's Principal encourages parental involvement which has set Orenda apart from other schools in the district. The PTA sponsored programs and donations to the school have provided for opportunities that otherwise would not be available through the district. Orenda is public education at its best.

"Misha in Black 3" acrylic print by Sean Griffin. Ships within 3 - 4 business days and arrives ready-to-hang with all mounting hardware included. Choose from multiple sizes and two different mounting options (metal posts / hanging wire).
Mounting Option #1
Mounting Option #2
Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of an acrylic print. Your image gets printed directly onto the back of a 1/4" thick sheet of clear acrylic.
The image is the art - it doesn't get any cleaner than that!
All acrylic prints ship within 3 - 4 business days and arrive "ready to hang" with four aluminum mounting posts (Option #1) or hanging wire (Option #2).
The high gloss of the acrylic sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
There are two different ways to mount your acrylic print.
Option #1 (Mounting Posts) - Attach your print to your wall with four aluminum mounting posts. The cylindrical cap of each mounting post can be removed, allowing you to thread a small screw along the center axis of the of post and into the wall. When you're finished, simply reattached each cap, and you're done. The mounting posts act as stand-offs and keep your print separated from the wall by 1". All of the required mounting hardware (i.e. posts, screws, and wall anchors) is included with your print. Click here for mounting details.
Option #2 (Hanging Wire) - With this option, your acrylic print is attached to a 1/4" thick black board which has a wooden frame and hanging wire attached to the back. There are no metal mounting posts at the corners. Simply put a nail in your wall, hang your print from the hanging wire, and you're done. Due to the thickness of the black board and mounting frame, your print is separated from the wall by 1.50" Click here for mounting details.
Aspiring model Misha was, until recently, homeless, surviving by "couch-surfing" at the homes of various friends and relatives. She recently found employment and is no longer homeless. Misha made the corset dress at the heart of this steampunk style herself.

A Linux kernel security vulnerability was recently discovered in the Linux kernel packages, affecting the Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) Linux kernel for OMAP4.
Nick Bowler discovered CVE-2011-4081, a Linux kernel vulnerability where error conditions were incorrectly handled by the kernel GHASH message digest algorithm, leading to a kernel oops.
This security flaw can be fixed if you upgrade your system to the linux-image-3.0.0-1206-omap4 (3.0.0-1206.13) kernel package. Don't forget to reboot your computer after the upgrade!
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change, the kernel packages have a new version number, which will force you to reinstall and recompile all third-party kernel modules you might have installed. Moreover, if you use the linux-restricted-modules package, you have to update it as well to get modules which work with the new Linux kernel version.

A short but lively Lakeview Town Council regular session meeting was held on Tuesday, July 22, with the council unanimously approving ordinance to extend an agreement with Hunter Communications for maintaining fiber optic lines.
The non-exclusive rights agreement between the Town of Lakeview and Hunter Communications was set to expire on Thursday, Aug. 28, 2014 if not renewed. The franchising agreement permits Hunter to locate, maintain and operate fiber optic telecommunications lines within town limits. The approval of ordinance 850 extends the agreement with Hunter Communications for an additional five years. As a non-exclusive agreement, other telecommunications companies can add additional fiber optics in the area.
Mayor Mike Patrick was absent from the meeting, with council member Sandra Wenzel assuming chairperson duties. Other planned business was delayed for another session because the expected presenters were not in attendance.
Council member Mike Hughes reported on the Friends of NRA Banquet, held on Saturday July 19, stating that while turnout was lower than past years In part because of the Order of the Antelope gathering, funds raised from the auctions and raffles exceeded previous events.
Council member Mike Warren and Town Mgr. Ray Simms both discussed the ongoing negotiations with Red Rock Biofuels. Both stressed that as is typical in negotiation of potential large contracts, as details are finalized the desires of each side can get a little rocky while trying to reach common ground. Of particular note in the negotiations at this time is the prospect of Red Rock bringing natural gas lines into the community, establishing initial infrastructure for possible other customers to tap into the source. Negotiations continue, with further conference calls planned to hopefully result in Red Rock Biofuels reactivating the currently mothballed biofuel plant in Lakeview.
Simms also discussed the upcoming Occupy Lakeview celebration, slated for Saturday, Aug. 16, where downtown Lakeview will be closed off for a town celebration. Proceeds will go towards funding programs intended to instill community pride and ownership.

BSF seizes huge cache of drugs in Amritsar
The Border Security Force (BSF) has seized 13 kilograms of suspected heroin following an encounter with smugglers near the India-Pakistan border in Punjab.
Addressing mediapersons here, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of the BSF's Amritsar Sector, M. F. Farooqui said the recovery was carried out near the Mullakot border outpost, and added that the seized pistol was a replica of an AK-47 assault rifle.
Giving details of the incident, Farooqui said BSF troops deployed in the area observed some suspicious movement on both sides of the fence on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.
On being challenged, the smugglers fired at the BSF troops, who fired back in retaliation.
"We fired around 34 rounds. After that when we inspected the area, we recovered 13 packet of heroin. Some packets had fallen on our side and some were lying on the other side of the border. Apart from that one new model rifle like a small AK-47 was also recovered," said Farooqui.
The suspected miscreants have reportedly fled taking advantage of the darkness.
BSF chief also added that tight security measures are being undertaken along the border in the backdrop of the upcoming general elections.

It's Not All Merry & Bright.
I'm starting to see the end of each year as a kind of travesty against nature.
This year, I'm feeling a little bit lost.
I realized it last weekend when my brother called me as he and his family were on their way to cut down a tree for Christmas. When I heard his plan, my heart sank. I felt sad for the tree. Its life was ending so it could stand in a house for about 30 days, and then be hauled off to the trash.
All I could think was, what a waste.
And for what? So there's something to put a bunch of presents under? Presents that aren't needed, that were made in China, and wrapped in paper that required the sacrifice of more trees?
I never thought I'd be this person—the one who brings the cloud of cynicism to the party.
As a child and teenager I loved Christmas. I especially loved real Christmas trees, and never understood how anyone could have a fake tree, or how they could live without that pine smell. To me, that smell was Christmas.
I never thought about the tree, or what it meant to the planet.
Now, I'm starting to see the end of each year as a kind of travesty against nature. We kill a bunch of birds in order to give thanks. Then we cut down a 31 million trees in order to have a showcase for more stuff.
Despite this, Christmas still means something to me. But what, I don't know.
Erma Bombeck once said, "There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child."
That might sum up my feelings.
What pulls me to Christmas is tied to my childhood and to the traditions that were born there: decorating sugar cookies with sprinkles until my fingers had turned red and green. Picking a Christmas tree. Pulling the same decorations out of the boxes, year after year. And the sweetness of Christmas morning, when my family was just together, when we could all just be.
I remember a Christmas morning when I was about 10 or 11. I had woken earlier than everyone and in the darkness crept downstairs to see what Santa had brought. By this time I had already realized that Santa had the same handwriting as my Dad, but it didn't matter. There was still something magical in the silence as I lay under a blanket beside the tree and stared at the colored lights.
That's the first moment I remember feeling something holy. It was just me and the tree, chillin', and yet in that space there was nowhere else to be, and no one else to be. Maybe that's the moment that defined how I would find solace in the future. These days, nothing sets me right more than sitting still and watching the branches of a tree sway.
And these days, I find I need to be set right quite often, especially this time of year. Despite the joy and merriment we are supposed to feel as set forth by advertising, some of us don't feel it.
Instead, I find myself feeling sad. I think about the planet, and ache for her. I worry she won't be able to sustain us, which makes me worry for my niece and nephew. I think about those who have lost someone this year, and how this season has a way of opening wounds that may have just begun to close. And I think of those who are alone, and those who just feel alone.
I also start to hate humanity just a little bit, as I watch us consume, consume, consume without thought to consequences. And as the solstice draws nearer, I find myself wanting to go inward more, while the whole world seems to want me at one gathering or another.
To me, it's not all merry and bright.
So for now, I send thanks for my family and my dear friends. I appreciate the way the lights look with a fresh coat of snow, and the bursting excitement of my niece and nephew. They brighten as they tell me about their tree, and what they asked Santa for this year.
Their complete immersion in the present takes me back to that moment when I was 10 years old, and to the silence on Christmas morning, when the world stops to catch its breath, and everything slows down to a pace that seems manageable.
Maybe that silence is enough. Maybe that moment is what I believe in. When it was just me and the stillness next to a tree.

Well said. I share a lot of these feelings, and I think part of my journey as an adult has been to remake some of my traditions in a way that makes sense. More and more, as you say, Nature gives me that thrill and awe that I used to get as a kid looking at the living room Xmas tree and its mountain of presents. I wonder if it would be different if I had a kid – would I want to give her all the joyful experiences I had as a kid? Or would I still want to make things more sustainable, more conscious, less wasteful, knowing she'd be awed either way?
Thanks for sharing Joel. My brother had similar thoughts this morning. He said, "As a parent, there is an overwhelming desire to do everything you can for your kids." Though I don't have children, I completely understand that. Hence, my internal conflict.
Stephanie, I feel exactly the same way. The other thing that irks me is Christmas lights. There's a vast property in Cherry Hills Village next to the road with all the trees strung with lights at night. Its pompous and an inexcusable consumption of precious energy. I turns me off the Christmas.
I appreciate your thoughts, Stephanie. Thanks for sharing, and for giving me a reason to be still, read and reflect for a minute. Much needed!
I in words of one syllable wished to thank you fantastically a lot after further. I'm not undeniable what I would've handled without the type of techniques recognized by you directly on this subject substance. It truly was the disturbing topic in support of me personally, however , grasp your practiced feature you treated the issue took me to jump representing contentment. Instantly i'm thankful representing the guidance and steady pray you find outdated what an amazing job you are providing educating the others through your blog post. On the whole possible you have in no way encountered all of us.

Women in Combat? Another Nail in the CoffinCategory: I'm NOT Making This Up, Political Correctness, War
by Jared Taylor
On January 23, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta lifted the ban on women in combat. He gave the generals three years to open up all positions to women, and if any of them think there is a job women can't do, they'll have to explain themselves.
The combat arms—infantry, armor, and artillery—are closed to women for good reasons: They can't do the job, and they keep men from doing the job.
Drones and laser-guided munitions haven't changed things for a grunt: You still have to run up hills with an 80-pound pack, live in dirt for weeks, and hump 96-pound 155mm artillery shells onto the back of a truck. Your buddies count on you to carry them out of the fight if they are wounded, and they can't count on someone with half the upper-body strength of a man.
An extensive 1994 Army study of men and women—written by a woman—discovered the obvious: "The average woman does not have the same physical capacity, nor can she be trained to have the same physical capacity as the average man." There were tests with practically no overlap. On Maximum Lifting Strength, the worst 2 percent of men were at the 92nd percentile for women.
Soldiers may have to kill or be killed at close quarters. All your enemy needs is an extra inch of reach, an extra pound of muscle, or an extra burst of speed, and he will use that advantage to kill you. No one is talking about putting women on professional sports teams—we might lose a game!—but the military is now asking for weak links that could get the whole squad killed.
Last year, a lady Marine captain named Katie Petronio wrote an article for the Marine Corps Gazette called "Get Over It! We Are Not All Created Equal." She is a pretty tough gal—she says she could bench-press 145 pounds and squat 200 pounds—but when she worked with men in the field, "the rate of my deterioration was noticeably faster than that of male Marines."
She writes that if women join up, the infantry is "going to experience a colossal increase in crippling and career-ending medical conditions for females." Some of these toy soldiers will break before they even see the enemy and then spend their lives drawing disability pay they don't deserve.
Women in combat? Combat means close quarters. During the 2003 Iraq invasion, Marine Ryan Smith rode in an amphibious assault vehicle designed for 15 men. There were breakdowns and "by the end of the invasion we had as many as 25 men stuffed into the back." They went 48 straight hours in the vehicle with no sanitation, and men got dysentery. "When an uncontrollable urge hit a Marine, he would be forced to stand, as best he could, hold an MRE [meals ready to eat] bag up to his rear, and defecate inches from his seated comrade's face."
When they got to Baghdad:
We had not showered in well over a month and our chemical protective suits were covered in a mixture of filth and dried blood. We were told to strip and place our suits in pits to be burned immediately. My unit stood there…naked, sores dotted all over our bodies, feet peeling, watching our suits burn. Later, they lined us up naked and washed us off with pressure washers.
Squad Leader Smith does not want women in combat.
As ex-Marine John Luddy explained in a Heritage Foundation report, there are other reasons why women don't belong at the front:
[I]n the one historical case where women were deliberately placed in combat—in Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War—they were removed within weeks. The reason: It was clear that men reacted to the presence of women by trying to protect them and aiding them when they became casualties instead of continuing to attack. The Israelis also learned that unit morale was seriously damaged when men saw women killed and injured on the battlefield.
Men take crazy risks to make sure women are not captured and to rescue them if they are. Remember Jessica Lynch, the 100-pound supply clerk who got into a traffic accident during the Iraq invasion and was taken prisoner? The Army told colossal lies about her Rambo-style knife fight with Iraqis—she went down on her knees to pray and never fired a shot—and then went to absurd lengths to get her back. There was a diversionary battle to draw off Iraqi troops, and a joint team of Delta Force, Army Rangers, Navy Seals, and Air Force Pararescue Jumpers—with much better things to do—snatched her from a hospital that turned out to be unguarded.
PFC Lynch was lucky. She fell into the hands of a regular Army that treated her well. But what would the Taliban do with a captured American woman? Gang-rape her, for sure. Then would she disappear into the most wretched brothel in Afghanistan or come back mutilated and pregnant and a psychological wreck?
Finally, there is sex. As one Marine Corps veteran explains, "Male bonding is what takes the hill. And male bonding just doesn't happen with women around."
A soldier recently put it this way on a Web page:
The Infantry squad is, hands friggen' down, the backbone of any armed conflict. They can do anything, anywhere, anytime—because the lives of their buddies depend on it. The bond between men in an Infantry squad is like no other….The addition of women would utterly turn the squad's level of cohesion and unity upside-down faster than anything. The female would become the center of attention, and the butt-end of every joke. Morale would be a crushing weight dragging the squad down into the dirt.
It destroys what the Army calls "group cohesion" if a man has been jilted by the squad tart and then has to listen to her squealing all night in someone else's foxhole.
The military hands out condoms as if they were candy, but accidents happen. In the 1990s, Navy Captain Martha Whitehead testified before a military commission that women were three times more likely to be "non-deployable" than men, and that 47 percent of the time it was because they were pregnant.
In 2009, so many pregnant lady soldiers were being evacuated from Iraq that Major General Anthony Cucolo ordered a court martial and possible jail time for any woman in his command who got pregnant—and for the man responsible. "I've got a mission to do." he said. "I'm given a finite number of soldiers with which to do it and I need every one of them."
There are other problems. From 2006 to 2011, the rate of violent sex crimes in the military shot up 64 percent, with an estimated 19,000 sexual assaults in 2010 alone. Women are 14 percent of Army personnel but are 95 percent of sex-crime victims. (The Army warns there will be more cases of men raping men now that homosexuals don't have to worry about being kicked out, but that is a different problem.)
General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says he thinks women in combat will help solve the problem of sexual harassment. He pushed Leon Panetta very hard to lift the ban. "I have to believe," he explains, "that the more we can treat people equally, the more likely they are to treat each other equally." This is certifiably insane.
A man in fighting trim runs on testosterone. That is what makes him an effective killer; it also makes him think about sex every minute of the day. Putting women on the battlefield is like shoving the cheerleaders into the locker room with the team after a football game and locking the doors.
Combat troops are young men who kill people for a living. In the all-volunteer Army they are there because they like killing people. The military throws young women at them and is shocked—shocked—to discover that the men don't always behave like gentlemen. So the Navy has mandatory anti-sex-assault training for every sailor, and the Army has SHARP (Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Prevention). They don't change their idiotic policies; they try to change men.
When Leon Panetta made his announcement, President Obama was delighted:
Today, every American can be proud that our military will grow even stronger with our mothers, wives, sisters and daughters playing a greater role in protecting this country we love.
He got it exactly backward. Men go to war precisely so that their mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters don't have to go. War is ultimately about national survival. Half the men could die in combat but if women survive, the men who are left can keep the nation going. A society that sends child-bearers into combat has gone mad.
Secretary of the Army Togo West once said that keeping women out of combat slows their promotions and prevents them "from reaching their full potential." The only men who talk like that wear ribbons instead of helmets. A soldier's job is to find the enemy and kill him—yes, him—not to be part of a giant experiment in egalitarian fantasy. Only degenerate countries put women in combat.
Of course, it will work for a while—with higher casualties, grinding inefficiencies, and endless lies and cover-ups. But when the century draws to a close and the Chinese write the history of what used to be the United States, they will note that it was a sure sign the place was doomed when the American soldier became a social worker with a rifle instead of a professional killer.

What about that vaginal itch? How about the menstrual period? Hot flashes anyone? Menopause anyone? It can be a bitch.

This was a very good piece. I applaud the women mentioned in this article who stood up and said that women in the military is wrong and dangerous. Overall, Jared has summed up my views on this topic perfectly.
Liberals treat this topic as if it is a game or a research thesis. It is far more serious than that. We are speaking of a matter of life or death for men who have families waiting for them back home. Our liberal/neo-con elites love using white, male, Southerners for all their grand research experiments it seems. It is fun and games for them, but for those of us with loved ones over there it is a serious, devastating, potentially, life altering matter.
In closing, I would like to applaud most of my Baptist preachers that I have had, for continuing to take a firm stand on male/female differences as well as homosexuality.

Anyone who supports women in the combat arms services has never served in combat arms! Another example of political correctness gone amuck.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, liberals insist that men are no different then women, and that determinism doesn't exist (in other words, they insanely believe human behavior is 100% nurture and 0% nature). Women serving in combat is a logical conclusion if you accept these two deranged premises.
Also, didn't the Roman Empire put women and gays into combat during the 400's? America is going the way of the Roman Empire. I believe the course can be reversed, but its going to be bloody difficult.

The article is excellent. One more point is that I believe a sizable number of men will leave the services if this goes through because they will be embarrassed by it.

Not surprising, the propaganda of kick ass heroin was/is the norm in MSM. There was/is a reason for that. Some women will be brainwashed into joining the army. With the morality being extreme low, the intended result will be achieved, which is to supply the army with free whores.
Another target is white genocide. Women are child bearer.It doesn't take a genius to figure out their true goal.
And those of you who think that it is a choice,no one is forcing women in combat, think again.
How long before it becomes mandatory to serve when called? How long it would take them to enforce or facilitate economical and social condition to make it almost mandatory?
That's where they are going with this. A society that shunned or shun extra-marital sex is immune to this kind of tricks, but they have already spent billions on breaking that social and moral code. That's how they work. One step at a time.With each step, each compromise, the conservative have let their wives/daughter becomes as such which would have shamed their ancestor to early graves. But you have been thought you are better than your ancestor who shunned homosexual, extra marital sex. You think they were backward.But now, your women is out of your protection, literally at the mercy of the depraved, and they have no mercy.

As alway Jared is spot on as is all cases the military is led by multi culti (diversity is our greatest stregnth types) who hail such changes even in the case of Ft. Hood.
GI Jane is fiction she doesn't exist in mass any more than Superman or the Hulk exist in real life. I once heard Alan Alda say "Billie Jean King would make a betty soldier than he" maybe so but it doesn't explain away the fact that she is by far the exception.
Not only that but women are far less loyal to a cause. Espri De Corp is the term used. We desperately need a Citizen's Militia founded on traditional principals.

"Also, didn't the Roman Empire put women and gays into combat during the 400?s?"
I have never heard of such a thing.
They were forced to stiffen up their ranks with Germanic pagans, but I never heard of women and gays serving in the Roman Legions.
Also, Christian emporers reigned during this period, and the bishops would have read them the riot act if they did such a thing.

How can anyone debate and discuss the issue of women in combat without mentioning the fact that America hasn't been involved in a just and necessary war since I don't know when.
If women mess things up in all these injust, unnecessary and undeclared wars, good.

This article is excellent but as an infantry marine 0331 long ago id like to point out a few other things.I was lucky and never saw actual combat but i can tell you that doesnt mean squat.Men die period when in the infantry because training itself is very dangerous.I saw men die from being shot accidentally by live fire.I saw men crushed by tanks.I saw men hurt badly in roll overs.What people dont understand is that just because a war isnt going on doesnt mean young men arent dieing in service.I routinely carried a 100 pound combat pack,with a 27 pound machine gun hangin from my neck not to mention ammo and i honestly had a tough time of it.There is no way a woman is going to be able to hack it.This will cause untold deaths in the coming years.Mark my words.Our military is a joke and is becoming a bigger one by the day.I believe this is all by design to weekin us even more.

Teenager's drinking stunt video following Facebook Neknomination
Posted: February 13, 2014|
AN ONLINE drinking craze linked to a number of deaths in Britain has arrived in Stone and Penkridge, fear parents.
A video, believed to feature a teenager in Alleyne's Academy uniform downing a bottle of vodka while being egged on by other young people, shocked viewers of all ages on a social networking website this week.
Meanwhile a Gnosall parent told the Newsletter she had been shown a video of a young adult drinking what appeared to be a bottle of beer before jumping into the swollen River Penk at Penkridge.
Across the country teens and adults have been posting so-called "Neknomination" videos on social networking sites in which they "neck" a quantity of alcohol before daring a friend to do the same.

In some cases the drinkers take on an additional challenge but some of the stunts have been linked with tragedy. One "neknominee" died after jumping into a river in Ireland.
Councillor and mother Jill Hood, who was shown the video linked to the Stone area, reported it to Alleyne's Academy and the police. She said: "It really frightened me, it was terrifying."
And a concerned Stone teenager, who asked not to be named, condemned the craze as "stupid". He said: "Neknominations are becoming more and more dangerous and I urge anyone who is nominated to consider the risks and possible health implications and refuse to complete the nomination.
"Underage drinkers should also be concerned for their own health when drinking excessive amounts of alcohol as it can cause problems later in life."
The Newsletter contacted Alleyne's Academy and was told the incident had been dealt with and no further comment would be given.
Staffordshire Police and Crime Commissioner Matthew Ellis, who has also seen the video, said police were investigating the incident, which he said may be a spoof that does not involve alcohol.
But he added: "I was horrified by it; (the boy) could have killed himself with that quantity of alcohol. I am appalled by the irresponsible action of the people encouraging him.
"There needs to be some urgent action to highlight the tragedy this could lead to. Social media is such an unregulated environment and we are going to have to give some serious thought to what that means."
Paul Jacks, team leader at Stafford's Adsis branch which supports people affected by alcohol misuse, said: "It's like Russian Roulette playing Neknominate. People don't know how their body will react to that amount of alcohol.
"The body is comfortable with up to 2-3 units, five days a week for women or 3-4 units, five days a week, for men. But if you are having, say, a pint of whisky that would be like having 20 units – more than 10 times as much – in one go. That is perhaps what people aren't realising."

Yet this species' distinguished phylogenetic placement is not the only exciting and unique aspect of this fossil discovery. Because E. thermale was preserved in life position where they grew in geothermally influenced habitats, Channing and his colleagues were also able to deduce many aspects about its habitat, the stresses it endured, and its potential mechanisms of stress tolerance. They could also compare its morphological features to extant species of Equisetum todaywhich can also be found in mineral- and geothermal-spring environmentsand make inferences about the fossil species' ecology.
Indeed, the authors found that E. thermale had anatomy that suggests it was adapted for both wetland and dry settings. For example, E. thermale had an extensive network of air spaces in its stems and rhizomes that provided aeration for its water-flooded rooting system.
"Hot spring waters, of course, can cause heat stress," explains Channing. "But the water also has high pH and alkalinity and contains dissolved salt and heavy metals that may be toxic to plants. These stresses mean local plants suffer physiological droughtbecause taking up water also means an increase in the uptake of, for example, saltand typically have anatomical features that help reduce water loss through evapotranspiration."
Channing points out that E. thermale also exhibited a number of features that would reduce water loss. Its epidermis had thick outer walls, a well-developed cuticle and silica deposits, and its stomata were situated well below the stem surface and were protected by cover-cells and silica deposits. "The silica deposits of E. thermale hint at a physiological mechanism of stress toleran

Their names were not released pending arraignment.
Fruitport Township Police were alerted Sept. 5 by a neighbor in the 3300 block of Beechnut Street who was concerned when the animals were left behind, Detective Sgt. Bruce Morningstar said. The animals had reportedly been abandoned up to a week.
"Neighbors concerned about the animals being left without care had given them food and water," Morningstar said.
Police discovered animal feces that accumulated in the house and on a deck.
The animals were removed from the house by police officers. One of the cats was turned over to a neighbor. The other three animals were taken to the Pound Buddies Animal Shelter and Adoption Center in Muskegon.
A statement from Pound Buddies said: "The two cats were thin and they, along with the dog, were flea-infested and covered with sores. ... They were severely neglected. … The dog was in especially bad shape with raw open sores and missing hair."
The dog — a spaniel mix — "ended up being put to sleep humanely," said John Armstrong, a staff member and volunteer at Pound Buddies. "The two cats were adopted through one of the rescue organizations in town."
Armstrong said the dog had to be kept in a crate.
"It had no socialization whatsoever," he said. "It was very aggressive toward other dogs. ... It couldn't have gone to a family."

As Dire Straits once sang, "Money for nothin' and chicks for free."
Yeah. Not so much.
"It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll." Those AC/DC lyrics are more appropriate for local bands trying to book shows every weekend.
I saw a meme posted by Nick Pencis of Stanley's Famous BBQ that did a great job outlining what you are paying for when you pay a musician to entertain your guests for the night. To sum it up, if you think you are simply forking over a few bucks for someone to perform some music, you've got it all wrong. There are many other factors you need to consider.
Gear. It ain't cheap. Most musicians try their best to purchase gear that is "intermediate level" at a minimum. You really do get what you pay for in terms of sound. There's no substitute for talent, but talent on cheap gear doesn't sound near as great.
Time. And lots of it. These people didn't just pick up an instrument one day and decide to play a show. There are hours upon hours that go into practicing and honing their skills. Time away from family. Time away from kiddos. All to do something they love. But please don't confuse that with "being irresponsible" or "needing to grow up." Musicians, like any other artists, have an absolute need to do what they do. That comes at a cost.
Money. An obvious one, but here are just a few more things the musicians you enjoy listening to have to pony up the bread in order to do what they do: A place to rehearse, lessons, transportation, gas, hotel, insurance, taxes and probably the biggest one – promotion.
Good acts work hard to promote their shows in order to build a crowd and get people to come out. Websites, T-shirts, CDs, stickers, etc. are all added expense.
Think about this – venues book entertainment so that you, the patron, can sit back and forget all the stuff your boss shoveled at you all week long. Yes, they want you to stay longer and spend more money. But it's really a win-win situation. You get to clear your head. The venue makes money. The musicians are at work, though sometimes for barely enough to cover their gas to and from the show.
Next time you are enjoying the night's entertainment, show a little extra love. If you are a venue, keep it in mind when you negotiate pay. If you are a patron, keep it in mind when you see that lonely tip jar or open guitar case sitting in front of these folks. And take a second to tell those guys and gals "Thanks" for doing what they do.

text: kay z commentary 7/6-7/13/07 Download File The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: Because Global Warming is a myth, and Al Gore is making political points to influence the forthcoming national election, I believe it is timely to do an encore of my commentary broadcast last July 28, 2006.The liberals and other gullibles all are accepting this nonsense, and isn?t it fascinating how a non-truth, repeated often enough, becomes believable. Shades of World War Two, when Hitler floated outrageous lies repeated so often that most people came to believe them. And here it is ? About the recent commentary on Global Warming, there were no definitive answers, only my pragmatic suggestion that we should clean up our world environment no matter what. There were a number of very knowledgeable gentlemen listeners, all scientists, who all responded to me and who based on their extensive research, agreed that Global Warming does not exist. At least one believes it is a political myth fostered by the Democrats. His following letter is fascinating for its comprehensive coverage on the issue. So, having the author's permission to read it on KSCO, here it is. I have added more relevant issues to this letter. ?Hi Kay, I had a chance to meet you at the Veterans? meeting on Flag Day. I am a Hungarian plumber, electrician, international tour guide, I speak six language, and I am an inventor, etc., and a solid listener to Rush. About Global Warming ? the pro Kyota Agreements supported by the Euro commies and international liberals was never ratified by the Congress during Clinton's time. It was voted down 100 to nothing, yet the liberal media keeps on bugging Bush for not signing it. He had nothing to do with it. But, the massive liberal brainwashing machine never mentions this vital information. Clinton and Gore had a major defeat on this potential economic suicide. The European Union commies wanted to reduce our economy using this insane Kyoto Agreement to close down hundreds of factories so their European Union economy could be more competitive with ours. They are using the Global Warming scare tactics as a disguised economic attack against the U.S. Bush would not sign it because the world's worst polluters, China and India, were exempt from cleaning up their pollution. See what a conniving joke this is. And, now Al Gore is getting a peace prize for his documentary called An Inconvenient Truth, which more honestly should be called A Convenient Lie. Remember, the Chinese, Indian, or Mexican smoke is okay for the liberals, only the capitalist smoke bothers them. They just can?t stand the fact that we can live better than the socialist masses. My old friend for over 25 years, from Belgium, doesn?t talk to me anymore since he found out that I voted for Mr. Bush. I?m sad that the basic liberal hateful poisons lost me my friend. What really affects our climate is the sun, volcanoes, and all natural forces. The ozone hole has disappeared by itself. There are periods of sunspot activities, and we had several ice ages, and all the snow and ice had melted away before the first Ford assembly line got into operation, or before the tree huggers got their worthless diplomas from Berkeley. Your a.m. show and Rush have more valuable information than I can get elsewhere. So, stay in good health, Kay, and I?ll keep on listening.Signed: Zoltan Egeresi? And thank you, and kudos to you, Zoltan for your astute and honest clarification. For KSCO and KOMY, this is Kay Zwerling.
