Gun safe mounting
I know you are not supposed to mount a safe directly on concrete. Would a 3/4" piece of plywood be thick enough?

You might want to also consider a rubber "stall mat" sold and feed stores and other places tack is sold - they can run as thick or thicker and won't let moisture wick through

I like stall mat better than plywood, but plywood is better that going directly to the floor with the safe. In either case, make sure you cut it at least 1/2" larger than the base of the safe so it sticks out a bit.

Check Menards or Home Depot like stores for the rubber mats. It'll be cheaper than buying a stall mat and cutting it.
If you end up using plywood, get a very good paint and seal the wood before installing it.
My two barn storage units, one safe, one metal cabinet, are bolted to the barn walls. This may be another option for you.

Some safes, like mine, have feet that hold it about 3/4" above the floor. No problem.

As for bolting directly to concrete. One big factor is where do you live and the other is how old is your house? If you live in the desert and own a newer home like I do you can bolt directly to the concrete the humidity is low and the moisture in the concrete is also low. There is a plastic liner under my concrete and above the ground that helps keep moisture below the concrete. If on the other hand with out that plastic liner and in a humid area the concrete will act as a wick and hold some amount of water. Even on a painted surface it will over time do some damage to your safe and may make the finish look bad near the floor. In which case you would want some sort of barrier between the concrete and the safe something like a sill plate gasket, plastic, or other material. Wood would be one of my last choices without plastic sandwiched between two pieces. Wood will ROT if placed directly on concrete that holds moisture. That makes it a wick in my book so I would look for another product. Those pads that you stand on for work that are about 1 inch thick might be a good idea. I'm sure there are other product like it that might be good choices. A smitty pan for a washing machine might work. My point is that you want separation from any source of moisture.
Earlier I also asked about std wood floors and what floor of the house. If you are placing a very heavy object on a floor over time the floor may show signs of sagging. You may/may not be able to see the effects but a little reinforcing in the area to displace the weight over a larger area might no be a bad idea. You can do this in a number of ways one place a large piece of heavy plywood under the safe to spread the load or support the floor from the underside. I have seen equipment moved through businesses that fell through the floor. I'm not saying it will happen but it might.

Another factor is also where you're putting it - if it is going in the garage and your water heater is in there.......I have had mine start leaks that would cause a mess with a metal safe

Other factors to consider....
If your foundation is pier & beam type (footings under the house) try to locate the safe above one to relieve the stress on the wood joist floor. If not, use plywood to span the space between two piers to support the weight. In most cases, you probably won't need it, if you can locate near a structural support like a beam or a vertical footing.
Safes like the common Liberty Centurion series weigh in around 100-200 lbs per square foot. Someone here can probably tell us what most residential floors are designed to hold (almost 598 lbs/sqft IIRC).
When you bolt your safe down, keep in mind the type of material you're anchoring to with the bolts. For wood, use at least 3/8" to 1/2" lag bolts and a large washer. The washer simply spreads any load on from the bolt head out so the head doesn't bear directly on the hole. For concrete, you can drill an oversized hole and fill 2/3rds with either new cement or epoxy compound and then drop the bolt in to let it all cure. Use the washers here too.
If you're in a humid area or have moisture issues around the house, cut a circle of neoprene rubber the same size as the washers. Use this between the washer and safe bottom to help seal out moisture from underneath.
Don't forget to level your safe. Using wood shims, like those for setting up door or window frames will work. Drive them under the safe until she levels out and then trim with a very sharp utility knife.

Mine is on top of a heavy plywood box covered with carpet. I don't bolt them down, because as filled, they are about 1800lb each or more.
I figure if they can move it at that weight, and get it up the stairs, they will be caught by the me, the alarms or the cops by then.

housedad 1 chain and 1 truck = safe gone! I don't think they would care about what happens to your home sorry. I saw first hand the damage done by a forklift driven through the front doors of a business and one very large copier stolen. any one part was over 2000 pounds and there were three parts! The alarms went off and the police did come but too late! It was gone! I still don't get that one! The only place you could get parts for that thing was from Xerox! I guess they didn't think it through to well......

NBC has picked up "The Voice" for two additional cycles.
The network said Tuesday that the singing-competition series would return for two additional cycles for spring and fall 2013.
PHOTOS: 'The Voice' Teams: Season 3's Performers
"This pickup will assure the many dedicated 'Voice' fans that this innovative show will continue to bring some of the most talented new voices to the world's attention through all of next year," NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement.
The series, which shifted to fall from a spring schedule for its third season, recently added a spring cycle, with Usher and Shakira subbing for original judges Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera for its fourth cycle. (Blake Shelton and Adam Levine will continue to serve as coaches for both runs.)
"The Voice's" fall ratings performance, though down from its strong sophomore run, has validated the fall move. After growing in its second week, hitting a high of a 4.7 rating among adults 18-49 on Sept. 17, "The Voice" dropped only 11 percent to a 4.2 against Monday's premieres of the CBS comedy block and ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" and topped both for the night. Even with its stronger numbers from earlier in the year, "The Voice" often was eclipsed in the demo by CBS.
Season-to-date, "The Voice" is averaging a 4.5 rating through its first two Mondays in the demo and a 4.3 on Tuesdays. In total viewers, the Carson Daly-hosted series is averaging 12.9 million total viewers on Mondays and 12.5 million on Tuesdays, according to Nielsen, ranking as the Nos. 1 and 2 nonsports telecasts among the Big Four in the demo. Year-over-year, NBC's Monday schedule has posted a 122 percent growth in the demo.
STORY: Shakira, Usher Join 'The Voice' for Spring, Replacing Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green
Shakira and Usher will return in spring 2013 for the fourth cycle, with Levine and Shelton also remaining through the fourth run, as was previously reported.
"With the addition of Usher and Shakira as rotating coaches to join Christina, Cee Lo, Adam and Blake in the next cycle, we know that this incredibly addictive program will remain even more relevant as we move forward through this exciting season," Greenblatt said. "My hat is off to John de Mol, Mark Burnett and everyone who produces this classy and highly entertaining show for us."

Buran Theatre's NIGHTMARES: A DEMONSTRATION OF THE SUBLIME to Return to The Brick, Begin. 10/17
Buran Theatre will return to The Brick after their recent national tour for a post-tour extension of their original theatre piece Nightmares: A Demonstration of the Sublime-which premiered at the theater in January. This newly realized version will feature a cast of over 20 and new music by Albuquerque-based composer Casey Mraz.
Performances will take place October 17-19 at 8 pm and October 20 at 3 pm. Tickets are $18. After the October 19th performance the audience will be treated to a work-in-progress presentation of Magic Bullets, which will premiere in May 2013 at the Incubator Arts Project.
Nightmares situates itself between terror and comedy (the sublime), beneath the gaze of Henry Fuseli's iconic painting, and in the midst of an enveloping soundscape to plumb the extremities of our contemporary condition and posit the question: are we still capable of being overwhelmed?
Initiating at the birth of the modern sublime-the summer of 1816, when literary heavyweights Lord Byron, Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Jon Polidori convened on Lake Geneva to create their literary shapeshifters, namely Frankenstein's Monster and the Vampyr-the performance takes on the overwhelming anxiety of confronting nature and ourselves in the 21st century, an era that seemingly reaches for zeros.
Text by Adam R. Burnett, Artistic direction by Adam R. Burnett & Jud Knudsen, with scenic design by Nick Kostner, light design by Taylor Riccio, projection design by Geraldo Mercado, costumes/props by Theresa Buchheister/Adam R. Burnett, and original sound and music by C.S. Luxem and Casey Mraz. Featured performers include Caitlin Bebb, Brady Blevins, Theresa Buchheister, Dale Bucheister, Adam R. Burnett, Edward Freeman, Jean Goto, Catrin Lloyd-Bollard, Alex Haynes, Georgina Hernandez-Escobar, Donna Jewell, Michael Karp, Jud Knudsen, Erin Mallon, Monique Moses, Erin Phillips Mraz, and Mari Yamamoto.
BURAN THEATRE is a New York-based theatre collective creating new works that straddle the fissures genre and artistic production. Led by writer/producer Adam R. Burnett, performer/director Jud Knudsen and designer Nick Kostner, Buran is committed to collaborating with various mediums to create process-based performances. With NY as their base, the company regularly tours in the United States and abroad.

When Nick Bjugstad, the former Blaine High School graduate and Gopher turned Florida Panthers rookie centerman, took to the ice ahead of his first National Hockey League game last April, he noticed a familiar face warming up across the rink in fellow Blaine graduate, Matt Hendricks, then playing with the Washington Capitals.
Bjugstad recalled how Hendricks reminded him to keep his head up, with a chuckle and smile, in a friendly barb during pre-game warm ups.
A concussion in a Panthers rookie game before this season sidelined Bjugstad for the first seven games. The injury only built up Bjugstad's passion for the game after a very successful rookie camp in which he was the leading scorer.
"I was excited for training camp after the summer, it was tough but when you're injured it almost makes you love the game more because you miss it so much," he said. "It was nice to get back earlier than later [three-four weeks]. Thankfully it wasn't a long [time out]."
When he made his 2013-14 season debut, it was against Hendricks at his new home in Nashville. The Predators skated to a 4-3 win. Bjugstad had two shots in 9:48 ice time, while Hendricks played 15:34 with one shot and six hits.
Since then, Bjugstad has two goals and five assists in 15 games, including points in five of the last six games for the 5-12-4 Panthers.
In front of more than 70 friends and family and even more who recalled the 6-6, 215-pound forward's success in the maroon and gold, Bjugstad played a big role in his Minnesota NHL debut against the Wild setting up the Panthers' tying goal in the third period.
After collecting the puck in the Panthers defensive zone, Bjugstad skated into the Wild end before losing control of the puck, but teammate Jonathan Huberdeau rifled a wrist shot past Wild goalie Josh Harding at the 8:59 mark of the final period.
Bjugstad finished the night with one shot, a blocked shot, a hit, a takeaway, plus-one player rating and a holding minor penalty in 19:03 of ice time centering the top line with Huberdeau and Thomas Fleischmann.
"They put the puck on your tape and they are skilled players so I have to do the little things like get down low," he said of his role, in addition to winning face-offs.
Holding down that top-line spot says a lot about the confidence new head coach Peter Horacheck has in Bjugstad. Refining defensive skills to become a more complete two-way player and continuing to work hard at all times are the two keys that Bjugstad looks at to reach new heights and more wins for the Panthers.
The slow start in the wins department hasn't bothered Bjugstad. "It's a process and I think we can turn it around here," he said. "We've got the guys to do it. There are a lot of games so we can make it up but you can't dwell on the past."
After the morning skate around Friday, Bjugstad said he welcomed the chance to catch up with friends and family the night before around the University of Minnesota campus, but couldn't make the usual stop for pizza at Mesa's.
"I miss this place," he said. "It's only been a couple months but I've never really been away from home so this is nice. I was able to see the [hockey] guys and say hi and wish them good luck on the weekend."
Being a rookie, Bjugstad's had the usual treatment like last one off the team bus, picking up pucks and showing respect to the veterans. "I have a few extra duties but it's not that bad," he said. "The guys have been great."
When he's found free time, Bjugstad likes to bass fish, but staying out of the sun to avoid sunburn is a big priority. "Sunburn with the equipment isn't good," he said. "It is nice to wake up in the morning and not have to throw on a winter coat."
After all of the hard work put in over the years, Bjugstad said, "It's an honor and exciting to be able to play [in the NHL]. If you would've asked me four years ago [where do you see yourself in the future] I probably wouldn't have guessed I'd be playing here against the Wild."

While she always envisioned herself in the nursing profession – attending St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing before Moravian – Alice didn't realize until a decade on the job that she wanted to "branch out" and teach. Her own journey back to the classroom made Alice more aware of the trials her own students faced back home. "When students would complain about having to work or having a family, I knew exactly what they were talking about," Bartholomew says. "It's not always going to be easy."
While her son is grown with kids of his own today, and she's been retired for nearly two decades, Alice hasn't slowed down much. In fact, Alice's husband of 57 years, Richard, or "Skip" to most, has a hard time keeping tabs on his busy wife.
Alice's volunteering schedule leaves few openings as she spends time lending a hand or fundraising with the State Theatre Center for the Arts in Easton, St. Luke's Hospital, the Miller-Keystone Blood Center, the Red Cross, and the Coco Foundation, among others. This doesn't include her time with her church and countless area festivals.
"People have trouble getting a hold of me because I volunteer at a lot of different places," says Alice, who still makes her home in Forks Township. "As long as I can do it, I'll do it. When I can't so it anymore, I won't."
Alice calls her schedule one of the secrets to keeping a marriage working. "We give each other the space to live," she says.

No. 31: Rhymester – 50 Worst Album Covers
Rhymester is one of the oldest Japanese hip hop acts, having formed in 1989. They released 'Manifesto' on February 3rd, 2010.
We've seen some pretty bizarre stuff come out of the Land of the Rising Sun and this is fairly reserved in comparison. Having the three members pose as centaurs holding what look like fencing swords wouldn't have been a bad choice had they really "WTF'd" it up with tons of other crazy nonsense.
But this makes it look like they're sort of serious. And if 'Step Brothers' and A-Rod have you taught us anything, it's that centaurs are lolz. Kudos to Rhymester for being ahead of the curve.

Back in the era of man-dresses, Mazda gave us the odd-boy RX-8, a discordant little sports coupe that looked like it got caught in a bad divorce.
Somebody stretched the sportster here, squashed it there and then punched and jerked it all over.
It probably still needs help from support groups.
Then we got the Mazda5, a crossover/mini-minivan that for reasons known only to wild-eyed Mazda rolled off the assembly line looking as if it got hit by a fully loaded shopping cart at Trader Joe's.
Stylized door gouges came standard, along with a grille inspired by either the Joker or Alfred E. Neuman.
Maybe owners can claim some compensation.
Both vehicles, by the way, drove and handled great. They just lacked touch, springing from the more-is-never-enough, scoops-and-wings school of design.
So how could we possibly anticipate the 2014 Mazda6, a runway dazzler in a segment once defined by the utilitarian Toyota Camry?
We couldn't. And few of us foresaw the recent infusion of new style from midsize sedans like the 6, the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima and even the restyled Honda Accord.
What happened to all the librarians and accountants?
We may all have to start dressing better, kids. No more Dockers, yard-shoes and Wal-Mart stalwart shirts when we're out for a spin in the 6.
But as you can see, Mazda found some really fine lines when it completely restyled the 6.
The metallic-white Grand Touring model I had recently wore a big, bold blacked-out grille carrying an enormous black Mazda emblem in the middle.
Though its main mission in life is to haul people to soccer fields and grocery stores and office buildings, its windshield was shoved back rakishly — like something hammered out for the Autobahn.
Unlike most front-wheel-drive cars, the 6 also had a long, broad hood and sensuously curved top that gave it the aggressive proportions of an upscale rear-wheel-drive sedan.
And while the car sported large, practical doors, the sides carried three finely etched character lines that gave the 6 some lean, defined muscle.
It kind of shouted: My dad can beat up your dad, and my mom is hotter than yours.
A look inside
The 6 I had rode on good-looking 10-spoke alloy wheels shod with fairly serious 225/45-19-inch tires, further embellishing its sport-sedan veneer.
If you've grown weary of busy interiors with large, over-the-top center stacks, you would have appreciated the unusual black and off-white duds in mine.
The black dashboard was old-school flat on top, curving down to a sleek, high-mounted navigation screen, subtle center stack and large instrument panel.
That instrument panel, combined with the car's graceful three-spoke Mazda steering wheel, says: "Let's find a curvy two-lane country road."
Before we get too carried away, though, the car also has a back seat that's easily big enough to transport your moody 14-year-old and two of his large, sullen friends — plus all of their digital devices and giant clothes.
Mazda, however, worked pretty hard to keep the family-friendly 6 playful. Plopped down in the midst of well-designed, highly functional interior pieces were black and off white seats that looked to have been lifted from Jerry Lee Lewis' '58 Caddy.
I only wish Mazda had injected a bit more zest into the engine compartment.
One of Mazda's weapons to deal with ever-increasing federal fuel-economy standards is its new "Skyactiv" four-cylinder engines.
On paper, they look pretty darn formidable, employing direct fuel injection, tuned exhaust manifolds, good breathing and massive 13:1 compression.
But in reality, the motors tend to be soft and kind of gutless down low, delivering far better miles per gallon than miles per hour.
(One rumor I've read on the Interknot is that the engines were designed to have even higher compression, but Mazda decreased it in U.S. cars, feeling that we cheap Americans wouldn't spring for the premium fuel the engines really need.)
Whatever happened, the 2.5-liter Skyactiv four in the 6, while hardly an enthusiast's motor, is better than the 2-liter version in the Mazda3.
Smooth and refined, the 2.5 is as sleepy down low as the 2-liter version, so don't expect to wow the boys and girls at the Dairy Queen with smoky burnouts.
Prod it hard, though, and the engine slowly awakens, pulling pretty well above 4,000 rpm. Its co-conspirator in these little bursts of speed is a solid six-speed automatic.
Sixty miles per hour takes nearly 8 seconds to arrive. Nonetheless, the 6 feels reasonably quick and gets 26 miles per gallon in the city and 38 on the highway — pretty impressive numbers for a 3,200-pound sedan.
And for many buyers in the midsize segment, fuel economy always trumps performance.
Still, one reason the 6 feels kind of special is its firm, almost German-like ride and decent handling.
While it may be a bit too sporting for some, the suspension on the 6 keeps body motions in control and is a willing accomplice if you get a sudden attack of Boy Racer.
(And just FYI: That excuse does not work with the cowboys at the DPS. "I got happy feet, officer.")
Turn-in to corners is competent, though not especially crisp, and the 6 struggles a bit to find a line through curves.
But the car maintains its balance and grip admirably while being subjected to abuses most midsize sedans would avoid.
Likewise, the steering is quick and well-weighted for a front-wheel-drive grocery-getter, occasionally tempting you to do things that will draw sharp rebukes from your partner in the passenger seat.
Don't worry: They'll get over it after a few hundred dollars' worth of gifts.
And with the stylish, spirited 6, you may be making those purchases regularly.
AT A GLANCE: 2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring

NEW YORK (Oct. 25)
Refugees who are able to satisfy the Cuban authorities as to their sincere devotion to the cause of the democracies in the struggle against the Axis powers will be freed from Triscornia, the immigration station where refugees and recent arrivals as Cuba are being detained for a variety of reasons, it was reported today by the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid Society on the basis of a report received from the Centre Israelite de Cuba.
Eighty refugees who were interned at Triscornia have been permitted to land during the month, the report said. Among these who received the permits were men and women of Dutch, Yugoslavian and Russian nationalities.

How you can Come across Your Goal in life: A Real-LIfe Illustration of How One Prosperous Entrepreneur Did It
Richard Leider, a number one authority and author of numerous books regarding how to obtain your function in life wrote during the Electric power of Intent: what is the purpose of life
If our purpose is legitimate plenty of, it consists of us deeply and orders all areas of our everyday living. We begin to eradicate precisely what is irrelevant and what is so much clutter. A simplification requires area, and we obtain a clarity as to what we're about. We don't must fake for being what we're not. What on earth is of authentic value stands out far more evidently.
As being a accomplishment coach, I listen to many stories of from individuals who get this advice to coronary heart. Here's one particular I want to share with you to illustrate you ways after you remedy the problem "What is my intent?", the techniques you will need to consider to achieve it results in being very clear. As Leider so eloquently reported, we begin to do away with what's irrelevant.
Getting Your Reason In life: The way it Altered Almost everything for This Prosperous Company Operator
This entrepreneur owned a prosperous real-estate business. Even though she liked her career, it wasn't a burning want. What she truly required to perform was generate; she'd known that considering that she was a small youngster. Recognizing that she'd normally cherished the h2o (the ocean), she claimed she also preferred to are living someplace in which she could see it day in and day out. Her 3rd intention was to vacation.
Nonetheless, anything she was carrying out in life was taking her far from what her genuine passions were in everyday life. For example, lived in a land-locked, cosmopolitan town without having ocean in close proximity to; she owned investment homes, which left her with incredibly tiny time for you to escape to some spot close to the drinking water and compose; let on your own journey for months in a time.
Acquiring Your Enthusiasm in life: The value of getting a Lifestyle Approach
One day, she explained she really sat down and wrote out her everyday living prepare. On viewing in black and white that she was doing the job from herself on nearly just about every amount, she decided to generate some drastic variations.
She bought her housing holdings, started an on-line company that gave her the flexibleness to work from anywhere and settled on the modest Caribbean island wherever she wrote on a daily basis.
Now, this did not transpire right away, and she or he claimed she lived a "lower standard" of dwelling than she experienced just before. Although her pals and household assumed she'd missing her thoughts on some stage, she reported she'd hardly ever been happier.

The proliferation of tablet computers like the iPad, Nexus or Samsung Galaxy has become an industry standard. Whatever and wherever your workplace, the portability and advanced computing of these tablets has changed the way businesses store and transport information. For that reason, equipping your own team of employees with top-of-the-line tablet and iPad accessories can make all the difference when it comes to spreading your brand. Not only do these make for great personal gifts, they'll also help your team develop and identity and sense of pride, which is sure to benefit your company. Consider some of these accessories and how useful they can be.
Padfolio or iPad zipper sleeve
The various tablets and iPads all come in different sizes, but they have some things in common – you don't want to drop them, scratch them or spill anything on them. For those reasons, when you're not actively using your iPad or tablet, a sleeve or protective cover is always a great idea. Consider getting cases like the E-Padfolio or iPad Zipper Sleeves for your employees. With your company logo proudly displayed on the front, it's sure to be a handsome – and protective – accessory.
Custom stylus
You're probably well aware of how successful a personalized pen can be. Of all the promotional products out there, nothing can match the longevity and usefulness of a pen – except, perhaps, the custom stylus. As these tools become more essential for touch screens, they're sure to become a hot seller on the promotion item market.
Compact microfiber cleaning cloth
As any tech expert can tell you, not just any cloth or towel should be used to clean the screen of your iPad or tablet. Instead, invest in a microfiber cleaning cloth – perfect for eyeglasses and cellphone screens as well as your tablet or iPad. In a stylish and portable case with a silk-screened logo on its front, this is a great custom option.
Slim Callaway iPad Cover
Want to give your employers the option to protect their iPad but also prop it up like a laptop screen? Equipped with the right Apple keyboard, you can type away at your iPad like you would a computer – and this Slim Callaway iPad Cover easily flips over into a stand, making it the ideal tool.

You know, this feels like I've walked through a hidden door in the street and discovered an ever so slightly random exhibition of photos that keeps growing matrix-like, and I'm wandering around overhearing fascinating conversations and brushing shoulders with gorgeous folk and it's just GLORIOUS. a triple treat alright.
Islander, in reply to
Joe – is that south or north>? It doesnt matter-
What a wonderful life- enhancing tree!
O, and trees just sort it out among themselves-
Joe Wylie, in reply to
Islander, that's the REAL Jackson Bay. From a Big O perspective, you know, as South as you can drive on the Coast.
Islander, in reply to
Neat mate! I was trying to work out the baches-we call it Jackson's
but you can drive MUCH further south -think where we buryed Henry Buck-
(if you & yours want to be entertained by me please contact soonish – I will be gone this coming year-)
Jackie Clark, in reply to
PAS can be a bit like that, Julie. And if you're brave enough to ever come to anything where we get together offline, you can make the feeling manifest!
JacksonP, in reply to
Nice tree, nice place.
Great photo. But I would say that. ;-)
a triple treat alright
Pretty cool, eh? Jackie's right too. Used to find this place a little intimidating, then I met most of the people here, and now... no wait, one or two are still a little intimidating. So damned clever.
Maybe we could have an Australian chapter meeting? There's a few over there. Although not as many as seem to live in this little part of Auckland. I'm surrounded!

Jackson's Bay. My beloved and I once biked all the way down there from Nelson, to visit Les Cleveland who had (may still have) a bach at Neil's Beach (a little burg just shy of Jackson's). One of the most interesting places down there is the graveyard of those who died in the failed attempt to establish a settlement in the c19th--large Southern Beech growing up through twisted wrought iron grave surrounds.
On our way there, we camped under the
bridge at Haast, not realising it couldhave been where the body of Jennifer Beard was found. Spooky!
Jackie Clark, in reply to
the whole West Coast is "spooky" - that's why I love it, and my heart yearns for it. It must be almost 30 years since I was on that coast, and it saddens me. The entire landscape seems to shrug it's shoulders at human invaders - grand, and majestic, that mist, those mountains, that primeval forest. Love it.
Sofie Bribiesca, in reply to
no wait, one or two are still a little intimidating.
Ahuh, Wonder, who that could be ? Hmmmm
Julie Cross, in reply to
Thanks for the invite Jackie. Maybe I can coincide a trip across the ditch one day. And your comment about the West Coast being spooky... My ancestors from Prussia thought they were on a boat heading to America, but they were swindled and arrived at Greymouth. Mutiny and refusal to get off the boat and they were transported to Taranaki instead. Must have been the spookiness they could see. I recognised it when I made my own excursion down that way.
And Sophie, I've realised most galleries let the photos speak for themselves, and well, they kinda mumble or speak in tongues. Here the words are mighty fine.
Lilith __, in reply to

For you book people .. Guardian obit of the much loved Russell Hoban.
JacksonP, in reply to
For you book people .. Guardian obit of the much loved Russell Hoban.
Yeah, I noticed that. I've only read one I think, some time back. Perhaps this will inspire me to hunt for others.
Turtle Diary was his most accessible.
Turtle Diary was great. And I've still got a copy of The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz. Oh and I liked Come Dance With Me. I think those are the only ones I've read.
ETA: Oh, How Tom Beat Captain Najork and his Hired Sportsmen and A Near Thing for Captain Najork were his as well! 2 of my favourite children's stories ever! I have them in a very battered back-to-back edition.
Joe Wylie, in reply to
Guardian obit of the much loved Russell Hoban.
Arga warga for him.
Carol Stewart, in reply to
Best you track down Kleinzeit, Lilith. It is all kinds of awesome.
And if you enjoyed Hoban's children's books you might enjoy William Steig as well..
pining for a book thread? Moi?
Lilith __, in reply to
Thanks Carol, I will put that on my list! And it sounds like I should read Riddley Walker, too.
Ian Dalziel, in reply to
I should read Riddley Walker, too.
Just don't mention Prime Mincer

How does that line in The Birdcage go?

"No good?"
"Actually, it's perfect. I just never realized John Wayne walked like that."

The entire landscape seems to shrug it's shoulders at human invaders
Nice line Jackie.
I have been to places where the landscape does more than shrug its shoulders it says very strongly " this place is not for humans" piss off.

It's not mentioned but the description above begins partway up the cliff, after a 4th-class scramble up and right to reach fixed anchors at the horizontal break below the steeper part of the wall.
There's a worthwhile first pitch that was traditionally part of the route, but which is bypassed by doing this scramble. Its difficulty and rock quality are consistent with the climbing above, so for full value, you might want to climb all four pitches.
From the ground, scramble up and right about 40' to a ledge with tree-cluster below a steep, clean slab. A bolt can be seen 10' up this slab, marking the start of the climb. Reach the bolt, surmount a big overlap, and continue with face climbing and friction past several fixed pins directly up to the belay below the crux pitch of Lost Souls. 100' 5.9 PG.

|larry, does the original first pitch start at the edge of the slime gully, I have only done the top three pitches....I dont want to miss out!
By L. Hamilton
Apr 27, 2008
For the original first pitch of Lost Souls, start at the same gearing-up spot used for Atlantis, Inferno, Last Unicorn, etc. Instead of scrambling up the long 3rd class section that accesses those routes, look for a ledge with several trees about 30 feet up and right from the start of scrambling. The first bolt of the Lost Souls can be seen from the ground, on a slab about ten feet above the tree ledge. Scramble up to the tree ledge and set the first belay.
Slab climbing (tricky when wet) leads up to the obvious bolt. Zig right and then left to surmount the headwall, and continue up a slab past several fixed pitons, eventually reaching a bolt belay below the big headwall pitch of Lost Souls. About 100 feet, 5.9 PG.

I just climbed this route yesterday...
the first pitch adds to the climb and i saw no reason to avoid it...
pitch 3, the arete with 2 bolts is a little spooky and fun...
all in all a great climb...

One of the most fun routes on the South Butt!! Consistently good/varied climbing all the way to the top.
I thought I'd post to echo the sentiments about the first pitch. It's worth doing. After the first set of pitons, on the slab, it's hard to see where the next two are. I went left and never found them/or any other gear resulting in a rather long run out to the 1st anchor. On the way down, we spotted them: look for two consecutive tufts of grass trending straight and slightly right above the first paired pitons. They should be just right on a line of sight from the clump of wimpy trees that marks the end of the slab section.

|I agree with the others about the first pitch; it's well worth doing. And the arete on the third pitch is indeed spicy, so a cool head is helpful. Two raps with two 60m ropes to the ground from the final anchor: the first rappel goes to a fixed anchor straight below with one of the mightiest sets of chains you ever saw.

|To start we climbed a mini pitch to a 2 bolt belay right underneath a roof overlap and a lone bolt before p1. Starting p1, those first few moves could be pg13, the first bolt does nothing if you fall mantling above it. The slab is right underneath. Putting a regular draw on that bolt would be horrendous rope drag since you break hard right immediately after mantling onto the ledge with the piton. I put a 4ft runner on that bolt, fell doing that mantle, and decked on the slab below just above the the belay anchor. Luckily didn't twist or break my ankles, it would be a horrendous approach out. Its insecure and needs a relax mind There are two small crimps on the ledge, not much to pull on once you get into it. Plenty pro on the right side after ledge.

I wasn't a huge fan of the first pitch, but it's part of the route so I would do it again. The scramble across isn't much better.
The upper three pitches of the route were terrific and pretty straightforward. The pillar wasn't really spooky per se, but there are a few times over the course of the route when falls wouldn't be a great idea.
We climbed on a single rope with a separate rap line and had no trouble with drag. Put a short/regular draw on the first bolt of the second pitch and sling the pin long after the mantle.

|I found the arete to be the crux, either hard for 10a or I just couldn't figure out the sequence. Climbed the chimney to the right as an alternative at ~5.9. The top dihedral pitch isn't bad, maybe 5.9 as well, and protects better than it looks like it's going to from below.

This climb is fantastic. You are literally awash in granite, as it goes right up the middle of the gigantic mass of Wonderwall. The line feels so natural and intuitive as you ascend the cliff. The climbing is exciting, and at no point does it become boring or contrived. In fact it felt like a remote alpine mountaineering route for some reason!
I would absolutely recommend this climb to people. In the Handren guide it's 3 stars, and I concur. The "forgotten" first pitch is way worth it. Don't skip it!

I began losing my hair at 21. I began taking HCM's EXT therapy and had no effect. I am now 24 and the balding is apparent. According to HCM representatives, a full head of hair consists of approximately 100,000 hairs and I only have approximately 50,000. The rep added that one hair transplant will only add approximately 2,500 hairs. Is this true? I can't see this being noticeable. Further, HCM quoted me 12k for one hair transplant then stated that I would also need to take Propecia to "prevent" further hair loss. I am a graduate student, so money is scarce, but my desperation isn't. So, I am on the verge of calling HCM tomorrow and purchasing their Bio-Matrix process because, according to an HCM representative, it replaces all 100,000 pieces of hair, looks and feels natural, isn't noticeable to anyone, and it's porous (so it doesn't create bacteria/odor).
I've read you comments regarding the Bio-matrix process and you seem to see it just as a hairpiece. But, as stated above, its qualities are unlike those of a hair-piece. Are HCM representatives deceiving me? Is the Bio-matrix process not what it's portrayed to be? According to an HCM representative, Bio-matrix attrition rate is only 7% (n=30/month). I would love to know why people like/dislike this product. Do you personally know anyone who is satisfied or disatisfied with the Bio-Matrix process? If not, do you know where I could read testimonials of such individuals?
Thank you for your time and consideration
I am not a Bio-Matrix representative, nor have I had any scientific proof of their claims. I do know that a hair transplant is for life and it is a permanent way to replace hair. Male pattern baldness is also for life. Your questions and what you have been told has many truths. I have nothing bad to say about the Bio-Matrix product other than it is costly on a yearly basis. Be absolutely sure that you know the full costs before you buy into that system.
It is true that we are born with 100,000 hairs. That you have 50,000 left takes good metrics, something I estimate all of the time. Did your salesman measure your hair densities in each area of your head and show you the calculations? To have 50% of your original density, you would have to be a Class 5 or 6 pattern balding, so look at those charts and see if that makes sense. If you have only lost hair, say a Class 4A pattern, then you might have lost only 20% of your hair population. Clearly the less hair loss, the easier it is to transplant with a high density if that is your goal. Some people are willing to deal with hair systems like the Bio-Matrix system offered by Hair Club, but I am a freedom man. I do not want to have a no-touch zone around my head, something that you will have with a hair system and not transplants. Finances are a real issue as well, and I am convinced that these hair systems are far more expensive and they produce an annuity for companies like Hair Club, a revenue stream from people like you that keeps on giving. I particularly don't like to use the term densities unless it is meant in measurement purposes as a doctor uses it. I think that patients need to focus upon fullness, because that is what they see. Take a look at Steve Hartman's photos and see what he accomplished with around 4,000 hairs (1,895 grafts) put into an area that originally had 15,000 hairs. It is absolutely full in one surgical session in our hands, although he has less than 30% of his density returned.
If you are "desperate" as you state, you may consider a consultation with a medical doctor regarding your hair loss so you can map your hair loss and its miniaturization to plan your treatment accordingly. Most doctors offer consulations at no cost (yes, even a consulation with me is free)!

Super-Size HDTV Page 5
Hitachi Uncompromising quality, sleek package
Hitachi is new to the home theater front-projector game, so it was with great interest that I unpacked its PJ-TX100. This $3,999 projector costs more than many of its neighbors in the high-def LCD world, but it also has many good things to recommend it. Among them is a ten-step motorized iris for optimizing image contrast and a customizable eight-step gamma control - a feature that, among other things, helps to enhance dark areas of the picture. As I've implied already, any help you can get in the LCD black-level department is very welcome.
Every aspect of the PJ-TX100 is completely solid, from its detailed user manual to the construction of its silver, aerodynamic casing. With the Whisper option in its setup menu selected, fan noise was so low I barely noticed it. Pretty much any input jack you'd need is located around the back, including an RS-232 port for hooking it up to a control system from companies like AMX or Crestron.
The Hitachi 's remote control reminded me of the Panasonic's - small and a bit on the flimsy side yet functional. It has a backlit keypad and several buttons that let you directly control functions like input selection, iris control, and brightness, contrast, and color adjustments. There are also easy-to-find buttons for toggling through the projector's five picture presets and four user memories.
SETUP Once I had run through the rough details of setup, I started fine-tuning the PJ-TX100's picture with the many tools Hitachi provides. After selecting a gamma preset that looked good, I moved on to the ten-step iris adjustment to dial in the best possible black level - one that made dark areas in the picture look as realistic as possible. The Hitachi 's 6500K color-temperature preset turned out to be a bit off spec (see "in the lab" for details), so I created a custom preset that looked more accurate.
PICTURE QUALITY One sequence from I, Robot turned out to be an especially good test of the Hitachi 's capabilities. Del is chatting with an executive in a high-rise building whose large office has a dome-like grid of windows on one side. As they talked in the dark interior of the office, I could see plenty of shadow detail in the detective's black leather coat, the exec's dark gray pants, and the plush office furniture. And when they moved over to the lighter section near the windows, the dark parts of the picture retained pretty much the same level of shadow depth and detail. In both parts of this scene, the men's skin tones looked completely natural.
The Hitachi showed loads of picture detail when I switched over to HDTV. In the movie Seabiscuit on HBO HD, closeups revealed the fine texture of the actors' clothing and skin. And in a scene at a sunny racetrack, shadows were deep and rich, and the jockeys' garish uniforms came across in extremely vivid colors. I sometimes saw a slight screen-door effect at a viewing distance of 14 feet, but for the most part I barely noticed it.
Hitachi 's solid PJ-TX100 offers topnotch video performance, build quality, and features. You could certainly spend less on a projector and still get satisfying results, but from the standpoint of overall quality, this Hitachi projector looms large. PDF: Features Checklist PDF: In The Lab
Bottom Line Want to get an ultra-large HDTV picture for four grand or less? Right now, your only option is to buy an LCD front projector. As the models tested here demonstrate, the picture quality of LCD projectors has come a long way since their early days and now provides stiff competition for DLP. With its good looks and even better performance, the Sony is my top choice in this quartet. The Hitachi runs a close second, but only because the Sony looks cooler and costs less. Budget concerns? The Panasonic packs a powerful one-two punch of value and performance. And if maximum brightness is your overriding goal, go for the Epson. But no matter which model you ultimately choose, you'll be enjoying the best home-entertainment deal going.

A Southern chef's riff on classic coq au vin, this recipe relies on Madeira in place of traditional red wine—and a few other refinements.–Renee Schettler Rossi
LC We Pledge Allegiance Note
After sampling this Southern dish, we just may have to switch our allegiance from France to Frank—Frank Stitt, that is.
Chicken with Autumn Vegetables and Madeira Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- One 3- to 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
- Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium onions, diced
- 3 medium carrots, sliced 1/2-inch thick
- 1 cup medium-dry Madeira
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium canned chicken broth
- 2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 recipe Autumn Root Vegetable Purée (optional)
- 1 recipe Autumn Vegetable Ragout (optional)
- 2 thin slices country ham, cut into julienne strips
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy sauté pan over medium heat. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken, working in batches if necessary so as not to crowd the pan, and sear the pieces on all sides until golden brown, about 10 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a casserole or baking dish.
- 3. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel. Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the onions and carrots and cook until softened and golden, about 10 minutes. Add the Madeira and white wine, bring to a boil, and simmer until reduced to about 1/4 of the original volume.
- 4. Add the stock, thyme, and bay leaves to the pan and bring to a simmer. Pour the simmering stock mixture over the chicken. Cover the pan with parchment paper cut to fit, then cover the pan with a lid or tightly secure with a piece of aluminum foil. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes for the white meat and 45 to 55 minutes for the dark meat. Remove the pieces as they are done and transfer them to a plate.
- 5. Strain the braising liquid into a large saucepan, discarding the solids. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and skim the fat as it rises to the surface. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half, 10 to 15 minutes. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into small chunks and add them to the pan, 1 or 2 at a time, tilting the pan and swirling until the butter melts into the sauce before adding the next piece. Add the chicken to the pan, turning the pieces once to coat them with the liquid, and cook just long enough to heat them through.
- 6. Spoon the Autumn Root Vegetable Purée, if using, onto individual plates. Arrange the chicken next to the purée and then spoon the Autumn Vegetable Ragout, if using, alongside. Garnish with the country ham.

CORONA – Marty Tyson never lets one of his softball teams rest on their laurels.
The Corona Angels 18 Gold team is one of the hottest travel ball teams in the nation at the moment, having won championships at three straight tournaments. But those are in the past. Tyson's concern now is the present, as his Angels prepare to play at the prestigious Premier Girls Fastpitch National Championships.
"The girls have been playing really well, but what's done is done," Tyson said. "The biggest worry I have as a coach is a team peaking too early. It's been a great summer for sure, but there's a new goal ahead and that means trying to improve."
The squad kicked off their summer campaign by capturing the championship at the Independence Day Tournament in Boulder, Colo. In the semis, the Angels knocked off the OC Batbusters, widely seen as the nation's top team this season. The Angels went on to defeat the Missouri Originals in the championship game.
The Angels then returned to California for the ASA Champions Cup in Irvine, and they eventually were declared co-champions after some unusual circumstances left both of the finalists unable to compete. The Angels had to catch a flight for their next tournament, and the Arizona Hotshots had been decimated by injuries.
Next up for the Angels was the Triple Crown USA Nationals in Georgia. The team went unbeaten over three days and captured the title for the first time since 2010. The Angels beat their longtime nemesis, the Orange County-based Firecrackers, in the semis, and defeated the East Cobb (Ga.) Bullets in the championship game.
"We've beaten some of the best teams in the nation, so our confidence is high," said Ohio State-bound infielder Ashley Goodwin, a recent Norco High graduate. "It has been a very long process, but we have really come together as a team."
There certainly is no denying the talent on this year's squad. The roster features six players who recently were selected to the Cal-Hi Sports all-state first team: pitchers Alexis Osorio (Riverside King), Rachel Garcia (Palmdale Highland) and Miranda Viramontes (Chino), catcher Taylor White (West Hills Chaminade) and infielders Goodwin (Norco) and Jazmyn Jackson (San Jose Archbishop Mitty).
"Having that kind of talent certainly does help, but I believe the true strength of this team has been chemistry," Tyson said. "Most of these girls have been on the same teams since they were 12 years old, and these bonds keep getting stronger."
Tyson gave his players four days off following their tournament win in Georgia, but the team was back on the diamond earlier this week for three days of practice. The Angels will play a doubleheader this afternoon at Norco High against Carolina Elite, coached by former Norco assistant coach Tony Genovese. Tyson refers to these final few days of practice and preparation as "Hell Week."
"It definitely can be hard at times, but we always find a way to push through it," said Florida State-bound outfielder Zoe Casas out of San Bernardino Aquinas. "We know we're tired, but that ultimate goal of winning PGF keeps driving us."
The Angels tied for third at the inaugural PGF National Championships in 2010, but that has been followed by a ninth-place finish and two 13th-place finishes over the past three years. Tyson hopes his team ends that series of disappointing results.
"We need to carry the momentum from these past few tournaments and come out and play strong for one more week," Tyson said. "PGF is the best of the best in the entire nation, and you need to bring your very best game if you want to win."
The Angels will play a pair of pool-play games Sunday and one more on Monday. The team will open bracket play Tuesday against a team to be determined by a blind draw tonight. The championship will be played Aug. 2. in Irvine.

Getting by with a little help
Sara Larson and Nancy Swanson have had plenty of experience dealing with the effects of Alzheimer's disease and dementia - not only in their professional lives, but in their personal lives as well.
Larson, a senior resource specialist for St. Brigid's at Hi-Park, and Swanson, executive director of the Red Wing Senior Center, both have parents afflicted by degenerative brain disorders.
Caring for a family member with dementia can be a daunting and emotionally taxing responsibility. And with the number of diagnosed cases of Alzheimer's - the leading cause of dementia - on the rise, it is a task more and more Minnesotans will have to face in the coming years, according to a new report by the Alzheimer's Association.
There were 88,000 cases of Alzheimer's in Minnesota in 2000. That number is expected to increase to 110,000 cases by 2025, according to the March 19 report. Nationally, one-third of seniors have Alzheimer's or some form of dementia when they die.
Larson, whose father has Alzheimer's, and Swanson, whose mother has dementia, provide information and support to dementia patients and their families, both through their work and at monthly support groups held at St. Brigid's and the Senior Center.
With years of experience caring for people with dementia, Larson and Swanson have a number of tips for family members and friends taking on the role of caregiver.
Find support
Both Larson and Swanson agree that family caregivers should reach out to community support groups for help, even if that means opening up about personal struggles to strangers.
There is a stigma around degenerative brain disorders, Swanson added. "Children and spouses can get very protective and try to hide it," she said.
"If you're diagnosed with cancer, you'd be more than willing to tell your family and friends, and lean on your family to help you through it," Larson said. "But with dementia you just don't want to say anything or admit it."
Care for Alzheimer's patients often falls on family members and other unpaid caregivers. Nearly 240,000 Minnesotans provided 277 million hours of unpaid care for Alzheimer's patients in 2012, the Alzheimer's Association says. That averages to around 20 hours of unpaid care a week per caregiver.
"Coming to a support group is a chance for people just to vent and socialize," Larson said.
There is also a 24-hour, toll-free support line provided by the Alzheimer's Association to assist caregivers.
"That number is a godsend to a lot of people" Larson said. "If it's two o'clock in the morning and your loved one is driving you nuts and you don't know how to resolve it, call them - they're trained experts."
Find humor in sadness
The added stress of caring for someone with dementia can risk sapping the health of caregivers.
More than 30 percent of caregivers reported having symptoms of depression last year, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Caregivers also accrued $9.1 billion of health care costs nationally for themselves because of "the physical and emotional toll of caregiving."
Larson and Swanson said it is important for caregivers to manage stress by finding humor or enjoyment wherever they can.
"Try to enjoy the stories or the funny things that they do," Larson said. "If you find the milk in the freezer, you just have to laugh."
Larson said she has learned a great deal more about her father after listening to him tell stories from his youth, many of which she had never heard before.
"Sometimes they're just funny stories, and you can't help but laugh," she said. "If you don't laugh, you'd be crying constantly."
Don't sweat the small stuff
Caring for someone with dementia can be especially difficult if a loved one becomes uncooperative. Larson and Swanson said caregivers need to pick their battles to avoid arguments.
Using words like "no" or "don't" can make conversations confrontational, Swanson said. Arguments can add stress and frustration to an already difficult situation.
"If they don't want to eat their lunch, get them a piece of cake," Larson said. "Who cares? Caring for someone with dementia is all about quality of life."
When it comes to prohibiting activities or behaviors, Larson said it is a good idea to leave patients with a sense of control. For example, instead of telling a patient they can no longer drive, she suggested giving them a set of fake car keys or disabling the engine on their car.
"Just take it day by day," Larson said. "You never know what tomorrow will bring."
Keep the routine
Maintaining a regular routine is crucial for dementia caregivers, Larson and Swanson said.
"They like the same routine, and if things get thrown of, they'll get thrown off," Larson said.
Holidays can be the most difficult when it comes to keeping a routine. Family celebrations can bring more activity, flashing lights and rearranging of furniture.
"Hosting a holiday at their home is one of the worst things you can do for a dementia patient," Larson said. She suggested instead bringing the patient to a party hosted elsewhere and limit exposure to the increased stimulation.
Although the routine is important, it is still important to keep people with dementia active, Swanson said.
Calm activities like listening to familiar music or strolling through a garden are both good options, Larson said.
St. Brigid's at Hi-Park has a specially designed "calming garden" with gradually curving paths and tall grasses that can blow in the wind. Larson said the curves are important because sharp corners can make dementia patients feel like they might fall over the edges.
Taking dementia patients outside can be helpful, especially in long-term care or assisted living facilities, Larson said.
"Getting some sunlight can help reset their body's natural alarm," she said.
Learn 'therapeutic fibbing'
As dementia patients begin to lose their memory, they will sometimes start to inquire about deceased family members or pets. This puts caregivers in the difficult position of lying to keep from upsetting them.
It is called "therapeutic fibbing," Swanson said, adding that becoming comfortable lying was the hardest part of coping with her mother's dementia.
People have been taught their whole lives, especially by their parents, not to lie, so therapeutic fibbing can be a difficult tool to use, Larson said. But ultimately it is the lesser of two evils.
"If I were to tell a patient that their loved one died, they'll go through the grieving process all over again," Larson said. "What good does that do? That actually harms them, makes them sad."
Larson and Swanson said the key to therapeutic fibbing is to avoid outright lying by playing ignorant. For instance, if a patient asks about a deceased loved one, a caregiver can say they simply have not seen the person that day.
"It's not that we want to treat dementia patients as babies," Larson said. "You definitely want to respect them."
"As children we have views of our parents that we hold onto that we just have to let go," Swanson said.
The Alzheimer's Association offers a 24-hour helpline for dementia patients and caregivers at 1-800-272-3900.
Contact Sara Larson at St. Brigid's for more information about Alzheimer's and dementia support groups at 651-388-1234.

Stamford RFC will face 2011 Midlands champions Stourbridge Lions in the regional semi-finals of this season's RFU Senior Vase.
Stamford have drawn the Lions at home on January 19, and skipper Matt Albinson is delighted by the draw.
Albinson said: "It's exactly what I wanted. Firstly because it's at home, and also because I wanted to draw them.
"I wanted to keep away from Rushden and Higham (who Stamford already face in the league this season). It's nice to play an unknown quantity."
Stourbridge, who beat Kesteven in the last round, currently sit fourth with six victories, a draw and three losses in the Midlands West 3 (North) table - a parallel division to Stamford's - while Stamford still boast a 100 percent record.
Albinson, who has been involved at Stamford since joining as 13-year-old, 16 seasons ago, hopes for a big Stamford crowd to back his side.
He added: "It is going to be the biggest game at the club for many years. I cannot remember us getting anywhere near this position."
The winners of the Midlands competition will go into a play-off against other regional champions for a place in the grand final at Twickenham.
The second regional semi-final sees Old Leamingtonians travel to Rushden & Higham.
Stamford's league match against Old Newtonians was cancelled at the last minute on Saturday when the division's bottom club claimed they were unable to field a front row.
Frustrated at his side not being able to rack up a big score, Albinson said the club was likely to claim the home win rather than replay the tie.
Albinson said: "We will not get the benefit of winning by a 50 or 60 points but we will at least get five match points and hopefully at the end of the season it will not come to points scored."
Stamford RFC travel to Daventry on Saturday before returning home for their final match of 2012, against Stockwood Park, on December 22 when the club will also be celebrating it's 110th anniversary.

|HSLDA News
|October 17, 2002
Dept. of Ed. Adds Office of Innovation and Improvement
U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige recently announced the formation of the Office of Innovation and Improvement at the U.S. Department of Education.
This new office is intended to "be an entrepreneurial arm of the department, making strategic investments in promising practices and widely disseminating their results." Included in the new department will be the existing Office of Non-Public Education, which has had significant jurisdiction over matters concerning homeschooling. Previously, the Office on Non-Public Education had been under the Office of Intergovernmental and Interagency Affairs.
So . . . can it now be said that the U.S. Department of Education considers home education to be a matter of "innovation and improvement"? Only time will tell!
HSLDA continues to believe that education policy at the federal level is unconstitutional. Nevertheless, this shift highlights a more favorable climate for home education at the Department of Education.

if you're in trouble, like you need to have some kind of emergency spine surgery, doctors will put in their prescription, 1,200 milligrams of calcium and 2,000 IU of Vitamin D (well, the St. Luke's medical team will put it in your third surgery because… the first surgery was an emergency and they presume everybody is able to process calcium and Vitamin D)…
then when the doctors prescribe calcium and Vitamin D, they'll probably mention in passing (if they're thorough) the third element required for your body to absorb and process those nutrients although they're not allowed to write it down, of course, in their prescription form.
It's sunshine!
Doctors just presume everybody's getting enough sunshine.
When it rains for days and days
and weeks and weeks,
don't you feel
your body starting to creak?
Go out and get some sun.
On a clear day, you could see newly spun spiders' webs glistening from low-hanging branches of trees as sunlight filters thru them. From across your lane, you could see the sunlight creating a formation of luminescent planks to the sky. Geez, wish i had a camera while running, went around and got back 20 minutes later but they've disappeared, the angle of the sun had changed…

The X Factor final six have been lapping up the fun and games of Disneyland Paris this week and having the time of their lives on the red carpet of the Twilight premiere in London but it looks like the star studded events and road to fame could be coming to an end for Rylan Clark come Sunday night.
The former model admitted recently that his psychic has predicted he will be eliminated from the show this weekend and British bookmakers William Hill have made him their 4/5 to be leaving after the seventh singoff of the series tomorrow.
Christopher Maloney isn't out of danger though and despite never being in the bottom two to date, the Liverpudlian is just behind Rylan at 3/1 to leave, with Union J at 7/2.
However in news that won't please Louis Walsh, the boyband are more likely to appear in the bottom two than Maloney, with their odds at 5/4 and his at 6/4.
Although there is some movement at the top, with Ella Henderson and Jahmene Douglas swapping places as the favourites to win, bookies still think they know which three contestants will remain for this year's final as Ella (1/10 to be in the top three), Jahmene Douglas (1/12) and James Arthurt (4/11) are all odds on to be on the last show of the series.
"There is a distinct gap between those remaining acts we think will go the distance and those that won't," said William Hill spokesman Mark Young. "There is also a very real possibility that this is the week Rylan goes."
Who do you think will leave tonight and who are you backing to win? Leave your comments below.
