TiVo 802.11g Support
TiVo 802.11g Support | PVRblog After taking so much flack for the slow transfer times it's nice to see adapters coming out for TiVoToGo that allow for 802.11g transfers. This seems like such a no brainer. I have no clue why the company couldn't have seen this one coming and included 802.11g support in the original offering. Is 802.11g really such a complex thing these days?

What are the fundamental units in E & E?Part of the trick to unifying or connecting things is to figure out what the "things" are that can be connected and need connecting. Here I list the elements or "things" that are at the core of ecology and which need connection. We should think of these as the primary state variables of the most distinct subdisciplines:
- Ecosystem variables: elements tracked by ecosystem scientists, such as carbon, or nitrogen; these might be described by the mean, variance and dynamics of grams per meter squared.
- Individual physiological rates: elements tracked by physiologists, such as body mass, resting and active metabolic rates, or the fat reserves in migratory songbirds.
- Populations: elements tracked by population and community ecologists, and evolutionary biologists; these might be tracked as the mean and variance and the dynamics of N, the number of individuals.
- Genes: the elements tracked by evolutionary biologists; these tend to be tracked by either copy number, N, or frequency, p.
We can use similar conceptual and mathematical tools and equations to study all of these. Complicating factors are numerous and in many cases shared across subdisciplines. For instance, one could study "disturbance" in any of these subdisciplines, but but it is the consequence of disturbance that is usually of primary interest. The physical landscape is an important factor as well, whether in landscape ecology, metapopulation dynamics, or in niche partitioning. Again, it is the consequence of the landscape more than the landscape itself which is usually of primary interest.
These elements (ecosystem variables, populations and genes) can be and often are linked in classic levels of biological organisation (e.g., cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, etc.). While this is a comfortable approach, it is not the best we can do. This LBO approach requires the instructor to create all the meaning, connection, and disciplinary thinking and structure. Instead, the Core Elements approach reinforces the type of disciplinary thinking of of ecology and evolutionary biology generally.
The primary cross-cutting feature of these elements that scientists tend to study are statics and dynamics, corresponding to pattern and process. For each element type, we can measure a static pattern such as the amounts of carbon in the atmosphere and the oceans, the abundance an invasive species in its introduced range and its native range, or the relative frequency of rare genotypes in the wild. By the same token, we can measure the dynamics or processes of a system, such as the rate of flow of carbon from the atmosphere to the oceans, how metabolic rate varies with body mass, population growth rate of an invasive species, or changes in particular allele frequency in response to El Nino events.
We often equate pattern with description and process with mechanism, but this is a misleading distinction. We can describe patterns and processes, and use either of such descriptions in either hypothesis-generation or hypothesis falsification/confirmation.

Lime Crime Cosmetics is a company that has proven to completely disrupt the status quo and persuade the masses into consuming its all-natural, high quality cosmetics, eventually transforming the way that girls look at their daily cosmetics regimen. Women from all over the globe gravitate towards Lime Crime Cosmetics, supporting and the company making it the icon brand is day because of its fun and bright color palette. Today, when most girls think of Doe Deere, the creator of Lime Crime Cosmetics, they see a girl who has it all and has always been extremely confident, taking the sheer amount of public favor the makeup brand has acquired for granted, yet, Doe Deere, the founder of Lime Crime Cosmetics wasn't always as sure of her vision as she is today.
Doe Deere spent the majority of her high school years feeling like the odd girl out, and never quite fitting in or knowing her place in life until she attended her high school prom wearing neon green lipstick, which would eventually become the signature color of Lime Crime Cosmetics. Wearing a very bright and eccentric color palette to her school dance, she noticed that with all of the positive attention that she received, she finally felt pretty. Doe Deere finally attracting the kind of positive attention for her appearance that only a very beautiful and glamorous girl could achieve for the first time in her life, she decided to make this her signature look, incorporating the makeup palette she wore to prom into her daily regimen, regardless how difficult it is for a girl to get her hands on makeup created in very bright and eccentric color palettes. Seeing herself as only normal girl for the first 17 years of her life, her experience with very brightly huge makeup proved itself to greatly boost her overall self-esteem.
She would eventually move to the Big Apple to pursue a career in fashion. She worked tirelessly, day and night, not only to meet the demands of her highly rigorous class schedule, but her pursuits of designing her first, unique, independent fashion line as well.
Her first endeavor into the world of fashion was so successful that she decided to create her own, custom line of cosmetics to complement the garments that she would create. After two weeks, she released her line of cosmetics and it captivated the masses in a way that she had not seen in a very, long time.

The NPS said this afternoon that the cherry blossoms reached peak bloom for the 2017 season today, March 25. Peak bloom is when at least 70 percent of the blossoms are open. I have more details on what peak bloom does and doesn't mean here.
The calculation is a little different this year. Normally it's when 70 percent of the total. But because about half of them were wiped out by the cold recently, the calculation this year is based on 70 percent of the remaining blossoms.

Answers to questions commonly asked about Scryfall.
What's the deal with Pauper legality?
Scryfall follows the Pauper legality as prescribed by Magic Online,
which is the only officially sanctioned version of the Pauper format.
There are many, many casual variants of the Pauper format
and we cannot support all of them.
Before reporting an issue with Pauper legality,
please check to see if the card is legal or banned from Pauper format on Magic Online.
See the Wizards page about MTGO Pauper legality
for more information.
Where do Scryfall prices come from? How does it decide what price to use?
Scryfall syncs prices from each of our affiliates every 24 hours.
When searching, we show you the lowest price we know about for a card in that currency.
For example, if one store reports that a card is $14.00 USD while two other stores report $15.99 USD,
we will show the $14.00 price in search results.
You can see individual affiliate prices for each card on that card's detail page.
In addition:
- When syncing prices from TCGPlayer, we use the TCGPlayer market price (not TCGPlayer low, mid, or high)
- When syncing prices from Magiccardmarket, we use the average sell price or the trend price, whichever is lower
What's the deal with the card images?
Magic has had a very long and involved history, as far as tabletop games go.
Finding a high-quality scan of each Magic card is an ongoing task for the Scryfall team.
Often, in order to have any image, we upload a low-quality or cropped version of the card first.
What is the difference between "banned" and "not legal"?
A card that is marked as "not legal" in a format is excluded because the
format does not permit any sets that the card was printed in.
For example, the card may be too old for Modern format while legal in Legacy.
A card that is "banned" from a format would have been legal,
but Wizards has specifically forbidden it because it is too powerful or disruptive.
See the Wizards banned and restricted page
for more information.
What about printing proxies?
Scryfall has no plans for proxy or printing features.
Where are the Vanguard cards?
They're on the site, but hidden from search results by default.
Find them with t:vanguard.
Where are planes, schemes, and phenomena?
They're on the site, but hidden from search results by default.
Find them by searching for their set or card type.
Try e:pc2 or t:scheme or t:phenomenon
Why is a promotional card missing or missing imagery?
Many Magic promotional cards have received very limited print runs,
especially if the card was printed before 2001.
Getting information about each promotional card and
obtaining a good image of the card is an ongoing task for the Scryfall team.
If the promo card was released recently, please give us time to add it to the correct set before reporting an issue.
Where are the rarer funny card and holiday cards?
They're on the site, but because these cards are printed for fun
and have a lot of strange text, they are excluded from search results by default.
You must specifically search for them by adding is:funny
to your terms, or searching for the set codes, such as:
e:hho, e:h17, or e:htr
Where is 1996 World Champion, Splendid Genesis, and the other celebratory cards?
They're on the site, but hidden from search results by default.
You can see them all in the Celebration Cards set. Nostalgia!

"It's what you know for sure that just ain't so," wrote Mark Twain.
In 2016, NerdWallet commissioned a survey* to get a better handle on Americans' thoughts about lying when money is involved. It's interesting to note which money-saving lies participants found acceptable. The list included:
- Logging on to someone else's retail or media account to avoid subscription fees (33 percent)
- Not reporting under-the-table income to avoid taxes due (24 percent)
- Lying about your age or your child's age to receive a discount at a restaurant or retailer (21 percent)
- Lying about annual mileage to lower auto insurance rates (20 percent)
- Lying about income on a loan or credit card application (12 percent)
- Lying about smoking tobacco to lower life insurance rates (11 percent)
(The number in the parentheses reflects the percent of those surveyed who said the lie was okay.)
The survey found far more men than women believe it is acceptable to tell lies to save money. For instance, 30 percent of men said it was okay not to report under-the-table income to the IRS. Only 18 percent of women agreed. One-fourth of male survey participants thought it was okay to fudge annual mileage to receive lower auto insurance rates, while just 16 percent of female respondents agreed.
Age also makes a difference. Americans who are age 65 or older were far less likely to find financial dishonesty acceptable:
"The survey found that 11 percent of seniors say it is acceptable to use someone else's paid account for online movies, music, or articles to save on subscription costs, compared with 39 percent of Americans ages 18-64. Just 7 percent of Americans ages 65 and older think it's acceptable to lie about annual mileage for lower auto insurance rates compared with 23 percent of Americans ages 18-64. Among all of the lies in the survey, the one that gets the most support from those 65 and older is not disclosing under-the-table income to the IRS in order to pay less in taxes – 14 percent say that's acceptable."
When it came down to it, "For all questions, retirees had the lowest rates of acceptance of lies compared with students, employees, and the unemployed."
*The survey included 2,115 Americans, ages 18 and older, and was conducted February 18-22, 2016, by Harris Poll on behalf of NerdWallet. This survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.
Of course, as a financial advisor, I am often privy to the lies folks tell themselves to justify making financial decisions they know aren't truly in their best interest. If you're ready to explore how your personal illusions can impact your financial future, my book Mindful Money may be helpful.

Just how the American Flag happened
The background of the United States is substantial as well as complicated, yet can be broken down right into moments and time periods that split, merged, as well as changed the United States into the nation it is today. The American flag really did not look like it does currently. Other than that, it underwent a lot of changes and modifications.
The American Revolutionary War
Enter the American Revolution. Occasionally referred to as the American War of Independence, or the Revolutionary War, it was a war which lasted from 1775-1783 as well as enabled the initial 13 colonies to continue to be independent from Great Britain. Beginning in Great Britain in the late 1790s, the Industrial Revolution ultimately made its path to the United States and also transformed the emphasis of the nation's economy and also the way it makes items.
For more than 10 years prior to the episode of the revolution in 1775, conflict had been building between colonists as well as the British authorities. These tensions emerged from expanding stress between residents of Great Britain's 13 North American colonies and the early american government (which stood for the British crown). Attempts by the British government to increase income by taxing the colonies (notably the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Tariffs of 1767 as well as the Tea Act of 1773) met with violent objection among lots of colonists, who resented their lack of depiction in Parliament and demanded the exact same rights as various other British citizens. Colonial resistance caused violence in 1770, when British soldiers opened fire on a crowd of colonists, killing five men in exactly what was known as the Boston Massacre. After December 1773, when a band of Bostonians dressed as Mohawk Indians boarded British ships then disposed 342 chests of tea right into Boston Harbor, a furious Parliament passed a series of measures (known as the Intolerable, or Coercive Acts) designed to reassert royal authority in Massachusetts.
The Continental Congress convened in May 1775 and also consented to make an army. George Washington was made its commander-in-chief. Congress hoped they can compel the British to negotiate but George III refused to compromise. Instead, in August 1775 he proclaimed that the American colonies were in a state of disobedience. Meanwhile, rule by royal governor broke down as well as individuals demanded government without royal intervention. In May 1776 Congress determined that royal government ought to stop and also government ought to be 'under the authority of individuals'. Consequently the colonies formulated state constitutions to replace their charters.
By June 1776, with the Revolutionary War in progress, a growing bulk of the colonists had actually pertained to favor self-reliance from Britain. That exact same year Richard Henry Lee of the Virginia Assembly offered Congress with resolutions declaring the freedom of the colonies, requiring a confederation and also revealed the need to locate foreign allies for a war versus Britain. On July 4th, the Continental Congress elected to embrace the Declaration of Independence, prepared by a five-man committee including Franklin as well as John Adams however composed mainly by Jefferson. By the autumn of 1781, the American army had begun to require the opponent to retreat to Virginia's Yorktown peninsula, near where the York River clears into Chesapeake Bay. Backed up by a French military led by General Jean Baptiste de Rochambeau, Washington moved against Yorktown with an overall of around 14,000 soldiers, while a fleet of 36 French battleships offshore avoided British support or escape. Entrapped as well as subdued, the opponent was forced to surrender their entire military. Claiming health problems, the British general sent his deputy, Charles O'Hara, to give up; after O'Hara came close to Rochambeau to surrender his sword (the Frenchman deferred to Washington), Washington gave the nod to his very own replacement, Benjamin Lincoln, that approved it. After French support helped the Continental Army compel the British abandonment at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, the Americans had actually efficiently won their freedom, though fighting would not formally finish up until 1783.
Though the motion for American independence efficiently won at Yorktown, modern observers did not see that as the decisive triumph yet. British forces stayed posted around Charleston, and also the effective main military still stayed in New York. The British exit of their soldiers from Charleston and Savannah in late 1782 ultimately indicated the end of the dispute. British and also American negotiators in Paris authorized initial peace terms in Paris late that November, and on September 3, 1783, Great Britain formally identified the freedom of the United States in the Treaty of Paris. At the same time, Britain authorized separate peace treaties with France and also Spain (which had actually gotten in the dispute in 1779), bringing the American Revolution to a close after eight long years.
Just how the American Flag came to be
The American flag was created to stand for the new union of the thirteen original states: it would have thirteen stripes, alternate red and also white, as well as thirteen stars, white on a blue field. Among the very first flags had actually the stars set up in a circle, based upon the concept that all colonies were equal. The thirteen stripes, laid out side-by-side, stood for the battle for independence; red meant valiance, white signified purity and blue stood for commitment.
In 1818, after a few design modifications, the United States Congress decided to retain the flag's original thirteen stripes and include brand-new stars to show each new state that entered the union.
While there is no doubt that the genuine Betsy Ross was worthy of interest in her own right, it is the tale of Betsy stitching the initial stars and stripes that has actually made her an unforgettable historical figure. The Betsy Ross tale was brought to public attention in 1870 by her grandson, William Canby, in a speech he made to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Canby and also various other participants of Betsy's family signed vouched affidavits specifying that they heard the story of the making of the very first flag from Betsy's own mouth.
According to the dental background, in 1776, three men – George Washington, Robert Morris, as well as George Ross, went to Betsy Ross in her upholstery shop. On a piece of paper Washington revealed, was a sketch of a flag with thirteen red as well as white stripes and thirteen six-pointed stars.
Washington asked if Betsy can make a flag from the design. Betsy responded: "I do not know, but I will try." This line was utilized in the sworn statements of numerous of Betsy's household members, suggesting that it is a direct quote from Betsy. As the story goes, Betsy recommended changing the stars to five points instead than 6.
Some people believe that it was Francis Hopkisnon who offered birth to the concept of the Stars and Stripes. Francis Hopkinson was a popular patriot, a lawyer, a Congressman from New Jersey, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, poet, artist, and identified civil servant.
He was appointed to the Continental Navy Board on November 6,1776. It was while working on the Continental Navy Board that he turned his focus on making the flag of the United States. The use of stars in that layout is believed to have been the outcome of an experience in the battle straightly related to his propriety.
A publication in Hopkinson's collection at his home in Bordentown was taken by a Hessian soldier in December 1776, a dark year of the war. The soldier, one I. Ewald, composed on the within cover that he had actually seen the writer near Philadelphia and also that he, Ewald, had actually taken the book from a great nation seat near Philadelphia. The soldier had composed over as well as below Hopkinson's bookplate, which had three six pointed stars and also his household slogan, "Semper Paratus", or "Always Ready".
In a letter to the Board of Admiralty in 1780 Hopkinson insisted that he had made "the flag of the United States of America" in addition to a number of ornaments, devices, and checks showing up on bills of exchange, ship papers, the seals of the boards of Admiralty and Treasury, as well as the Great Seal of the United States. Hopkinson had actually gotten nothing for this work, and now he sent a bill and asked "whether a Quarter Cask of the public wine" would not be a reasonable and also correct incentive for his labors.
Even so, nobody can be so certain that produced the American flag. The American flag is the sacred symbol of the nation. As you see the flag silhouetted against the tranquil skies of the nation, you are reminded that the American flag stands for exactly what you are – no more, no less.

As taken from the Star Spangled Banner:
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Is there any difference in Airport Extreme cards?
To my great enjoyment I scored a great deal on a used iBook G4! The serial number indicates an early 2004 model. It has an Airport Extreme card installed with a 2003 date printed on it.
I still have my AirPort Extreme card with a 2004 date printed on it.
My question is: what is the difference between these cards and will the newer one perform better than the older one?
Both say Model No. A1026 have identical FCC and IC numbers.
Is this a good question?

With high performance funds like this, it is certainly tempting to build your entire portfolio with large-caps. And many investors do.
Why? look at it this way, if you were to just buy these 10 funds, for example, you'd be diversified across the S&P 500, which is well over half the market cap of America's blue-chip giants. Look at Janus Twenty Fund: Heavy positions in Dell (DELL) DELL , Microsoft (MSFT) MSFT, +0.45% , Pfizer (PFE) PFE, +0.34% , GE (GE) GE, -0.74% , Cisco (CSCO) CSCO, +0.70% and America Online (AOL) AOL . Growth companies like that should give you all the diversification you'll ever need to retire comfortably in the next millennium. And fund managers at the helm of these funds can do the stock-picking for you, better than you, while you reap the benefits.
Strategic Alternative No. 2
Alternatively, you should get even more aggressive with your asset allocation strategy (not abandon it!) and look at this small-cap bear market slump as a golden opportunity to dollar-cost-average and buy-more-on-the-dip. Okay, here's our top-10 aggressive growth and small-caps stock fund SuperStars. Okay, on average, their 1-year returns are slightly above breakeven as a group. And their 3-year returns aren't as hot as the large-caps. But they are beating the Russell 2000's negative 20 percent.
Top-10 Small-Cap SuperStars
1 yr.return
3 yr. return
1. Acorn Fund
2. Baron Asset Fund
3. Eclipse Equity Fund
4. Longleaf Partners SC
5. Managers Special Equity(MGSEX)
6. Safeco Growth No-Load
7. T. Rowe Price New Amer
8. T. Rowe Price Sm Cap Stk
9. Third Avenue Value
10. Tweedy Browne Am Value
The choice is yours: What works for you, your needs and your portfolio? But small-caps do appear ready for a resurgence, according to several pundits. In recent weeks I've read a steady stream of articles encouraging investors to get back into the small-cap market: - Fortune magazine on November 23rd this feature appeared with a graphic of a smiling, flying Mighty Mouse: "Small Caps Take Off! For years smaller stocks miserably underperformed their big brothers. Now they're booming, and there's reason to think they'll, keep it up." - Mutual Funds magazine's January 1999 issue also says small-cap funds are "flying once again." - Kiplinger's January 1999 issue says, "small company stocks out-perform big-company stocks over time," and encourages investors "All aboard!" as small-caps are about to take off again. - Individual Investor magazine's December issue was more caution, noting that small-caps are "battered, but reports of their demise may be premature." What should you do? Stick to a long-haul strategy. And that means diversify using asset allocation. Frankly, I don't think it matters much which way you go if you're an experienced investor, since you've got the best-of-the-best funds under either strategic alternative. Just make sure you review your portfolio and rebalance in a few months.

For the past week asher has not slept during naptime at all. About 2wks ago it was off & on whether he slept or not & now it's back to lying in bed awake for just over an hour. What's changed? We took down the black trashbags from his windows (too tacky for house-selling purposes). so:
pitch black room = sleeping during naptime for 1 1/2 – 3hrs
only slightly darker than outside = singing & banging feet on headboard for 1 1/2 hrs

Keep your Business Continuity Plan close and your Disaster Recovery routine closer
While many companies recognise the importance of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC&DR) plans, too few demand the same resilience from their technology partners. In the wake of several recent high profile cloud platform failures in the Insurance sector, bosses at Aquarium Software say firms risk reputation and revenue for lack of synergy in business planning with their key partners.
"A marked change in recent years now sees almost all firms, especially those working in heavily regulated areas, with robust BC&DR plans in place," said Mark Colonnese, Sales and Marketing Director at Aquarium Software. "Yet to be fit for purpose, any plan must cover not just your own infrastructure, but that of your technology platform provider, especially if it's a cloud based solution. Too many companies are falling into the trap of planning for the worst case scenario in their own back yard, yet failing to consider the implications of a critical failure with a third party provider on which their business depends."
The comments come in the wake of global reports of business and organisations who have struggled following hardware and software failings from third party providers1. On the face of it, such outages are catastrophic; but firms can minimise the risk by selecting business platform providers committed to their own high BC&DR standards; who have planned for those inevitable IT gremlins, should the worst happen.
"Of course, things can and do go wrong so it makes sense to work with those who have considered the 'what ifs' before they become 'if only'," added Colonnese. "As an insurance technology specialist, this is something we take extremely seriously. The Aquarium view is, an apology for an anomaly, be it four days or four weeks in duration is cold comfort if your business is the one losing customers, client base and credibility as a consequence."
Using the terms Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery together is a recognition that customer and client must collaborate; working in partnership in a symbiotic rather than parasitic business relationship. Aquarium ensured their own business would withstand client scrutiny several years ago, with the pursuit of full ISO 27001 and 9001 certification.
This approach became a necessity as Aquarium expanded into the emerging global pet insurance sector, where certification of international compliance is a standard requirement and a Key Performance Indicator (KPI).
"As one of the KPIs ensuring our Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) are fit for purpose, securing ISO 27001 in 2014 was a milestone," added Colonnese. "We knew clients would recognise continuity plans count for little unless they could depend on ours. Hardware and software failures can and should be planned for. Having robust BC&DR plans covering your infrastructure and that of your business platform provider – not just the strategic approach but the 'nuts and bolts' of the operational side too, cannot be exaggerated. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, failing to plan is planning to fail."

Mt Keith (4260m) is a tough one, involving a much longer approach and a much longer ascent than most of the eastern Sierra peaks.
The few people who summit it usually do so from the gentler northern side.
This can be approached either from Kearsarge Pass (a very long way, hardly
feasible in one day) or from University Pass (shorter, but possibly even harder).
From the Shepherd Pass trailheadRead the page on Mt Williamson for details on how to get to the Symmes Creek trailhead and up to Anvil Camp. From this side, Mt Keith shares with Mt Tyndall and Mt Williamson the curse of one of the worst trailhead and trails in the eastern Sierra.
The faster way to hike Mt Keith in one day is to hike from this infamous Shepherd Pass trailhead to Anvil Camp. At Anvil Camp leave the trail and head for the mountain to your right, which is Mt Keith. The problem is that Mt Keith has dozens of peaks. Orientation is not trivial. If you leave the trail just before Anvil Camp along the dry creek bed (a colossal groove in 2015), keep heading left (west) as your climb. Mt Keith is the leftmost peak, that you cannot see from Anvil Camp. If you leave the trail past Anvil Camp just before the creek crossing, head up the mountain (lots of scree), then coast it to the left until you can enter a canyon. That canyon (that separates Mt Keith from Junction Peak) eventually splits: a wide chute opens on the right. Climb that one (class-2 but lots of scree) to the very top. This chute is about 800 meters long. You will reach the eastern summit. From there a saddle takes you to the real summit (the western one) in a few minutes. (You can also ascend from Pothole via the old John Muir Trail, but this may take you to Junction Pass, an old abandoned trail that is more of a problem than a solution).
Coming down, you can slide down the chute that begins at the saddle between the two peaks. It is a very fast way downhill. Once you reach a plateau, you can continue straight down to Pothole (lots of bushwhacking) or coast the mountain to the left (east) and head for Anvil Camp.
From Onion ValleyFrom Onion Valley take the trail that goes to Robinson Lake. This trailhead is hidden inside the campground (in 2010 it was between campsite #7 and #8). From Robinson Lake (3200m) follow the drainage southwest to the end. After scrambling over a couple of moraines, you will reach the point where University Pass is very visible. (There are descriptions of another way to cross this ridge, variously called University Pass or "the shortcut" but that's a class-3 chute on both sides that peaks at almost 4000m of elevation and has snow year-round and actually takes a lot longer than the obvious pass).
The climb to University is very long. Where the giant chute splits, stay to the right to hit the lowest point. If you took the regular pass, there is a natural chute that takes you straight down to the east of a lake. On the other (southern) side, where it gets too steep, stay on the middle ridge, where the rock is more reliable and less loose. At the very bottom of the southern side, start turning left staying lower of two subsequent large granite fans. Those two granite fans are also your reference point for the return. The bad news is that you lose about 400 meter of elevation. You have entered the Center Basin with lots of lakes and a great view of Mt Keith.
Your first reference point is Center Peak, the huge pyramidal mountain right in front of you: your route is all the way to the left of it. You can either go down until you pass the lake at the mouth of the chute, and then hit the trail that comes up from the John Muir Trail, and then turn left (southeast) into it; or (better) just keep higher elevation and continue along the eastern contour of the basin. Note: if you take the trail, you might get confused by a quasi-circle around a few small lakes. Mt Keith is always very visible.
It is up to you when you want to leave the trail and start climbing. There are several big lakes (3405m, 3592m and 3685m) that the trail coasts, and you probably don't want to follow the trail when it moves to their west (right). Pick a route that minimizes altitude loss and boulder fields. There is a moraine that rises gently and curves around a false summit at the cirque. That's probably your best bet. When you reach the cirque, you can leave the moraine and head straight up passing the false summit to its right.
Eventually you'll realize that to your right there is a broad class-2 chute. At the top of this chute (i.e. when you are finally summiting the false summit), you will see the two main peaks, one to your left and one to your right. The real summit is the one to the right (west).
If you don't want to do University Pass (dangerous when it has snow/ice, and not recommended in the dark, and virtually impossible with heavy backpacks), you have to hike from Onion Valley to Kearsarge Pass, down to the John Muir Trail, south to Vidette Meadow and then... good luck finding the trail to Center Basin: it is not marked by a regular sign but only by an amateur cairn. You really have to know where University Peak is, so that you can guess the location of the trail to Center Basin. This trail is in surprisingly good condition and an excellent way to reach Center Basin, just very difficult to spot when you are hiking on the John Muir trail (hence i have only hiked it downhill, from Center Basin to the JMT). Keep in mind that using Kearsarge Pass instead of University Pass adds at least 3 hours each way. It makes your hike much safer, but the trail from Onion Valley to Kearsarge Pass is (in)famous for its long endless switchbacks.
If you are doing University Pass on the way back towards Onion Valley, make sure you recognize the correct chute. There are two giant fans to its left (right of it if you are staring at it).

skinned knees and baby jellies!
Thursday, March 15, 2012
I also can't get enough of this little girl in her short shorts and little jellies! She's getting really good at "running" now, which led to a little spill and cut knee. Jared commented "She's not a baby anymore. She's a full grown toddler, getting her hands dirty and scraping her knees!" So true, dear, so true.
**Does anyone else always want to sing this song from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers when spring comes around? I always had a crush on Ephraim...

Survival Prepper
Survival Prepper: Which Are You?
5 definitive differences between preppers and survivalists, which are you?
When it comes to talking about a natural disaster, living off the grid, or a military takeover, there are typically two sets of people mentioned.
These are preppers and survivalist.
And although these two words are thrown out there interchangeably a great deal there are some differences between them.
Here are 5 definitive differences between preppers and survivalists which will help you to determine which group you are in.
It is all in the name
The main difference between preppers and survivalist is that preppers store up and prepare for the worst case scenario while survivalists prepare for the long term survival skills needed so sustain them in a situation of catastrophic weight.
This is not to say that both are not oriented in staying alive in such a situation, but that they have fundamentally different methods of which to go about doing so.
For example:
A prepper may store up food and have a garden that produces seeds.
Dehydrated food and a water supply may also be stored up.
Much like the wise ant in the fable about the ant and the grasshopper, the prepper sees that there is coming a time when the food and supplies will not be available and that those which have saved and stored their needed essentials will be the ones with the greatest chances of survival.
A survivalist understands the need for essential items as well and has a survival pack with such items as dehydrated food, water packs, water filters, a tarp for shelter, and a fire craft.
However, their primary focus is not on having the food and water (and other elements) readily available to them, but to be able to live off the grid only on the land if needed (such as by eating grubs, performing bush-crafts, and finding natural fresh water.
The Prepper Problem
Before you get mad (if you are a prepper) please read and consider the analysis here.
A prepper typically does not prepare for all disasters which may occur but focuses on the probability that a certain set of events will occur.
For example: I am quite sure that a number of you have seen shows that hone in on preppers which are planning for a military takeover.
Granted, the evidence is there, especially with EO that allows the government to take actions to "seize all communication, confiscate all food resources, take control of transportation, and compel you at gunpoint".
Yet, what happens if there is another catastrophic event before their situation for which they are prepping for.
For example:
If a prepper has stored food in their basement or in an old cellar and has the guns to defend the cellar and all the preparations have been made to bug out in this underground location, and there is a massive flood caused by a hurricane or a dam rupturing and the food and bunker are under 12 feet of water, where does that leave them?
All the preparations are for nothing.
Solo Survivalist and Party Preppers
One of the most definitive differences between the survivalist and the prepper is that Survivalist tend to hone their skills on their own.
They view the "end of the world" scenario as one where they will have to fend for themselves and understand that they and they alone are responsible for their survival.
This means that a great many survivalist will have the knowledge of how to hunt and gather, build shelters, start a fire with a fire craft, perform first aid upon them, and find water without any help.
And although a prepper may have the intentions of being on their own when a disaster occurs, generally the prepping is done in groups or organizations.
Of course, the problem with this is that everyone in your group knows what you have, where you are going, the preparations that you have taken, and basically every other aspect of your disaster preparedness. Many of them are aware of your prepper checklist and what you have and don't have.
Why is that bad?
Let us say that you are preparing for a total financial crisis.
You have read that the government has the right to seize all food, that they have bought up over a billion rounds of ammunition, and have predicted with accuracy that when the financial system fails that millions will be without jobs, that food stamps and government programs will be non-existent, and that starvation and rioting will occur once all the grocery stores have been looted.
Do you really believe that those which you prepped with for this disaster will not come looking for your stash when they get desperate?
More than likely, you will be the first place they look as they know you have the food and supplies.
On the flip side of the coin, a survivalist may find that when a disaster occurs that they will be hard pressed to find food and other natural resources as everyone else will be looking for such things.
Granted, the chances are more in their favor for surviving as they have planned for an "any situation" scenario. However, to get to the place where they can survive, a survivalist may have to navigate a great deal (abandoning their planned site) to find resources.
So which is better?
I really do not believe that either Preppers or Survivalists are better, but I do believe that each group has its own pros and cons.
The major pro of the prepper is that they are planning for a shortage and therefore will have the resources.
The con to this is of course that the supplies can be ruined or seized if not stored in a secure location.
The survivalists major pro is that he or she can live off the land and sustain their lives for long periods of time with little to no need for exterior help.
The major con is that the survivalist will have to live off of the small amount of contents in their survival gear until they get to a place in which they can begin utilizing the skills they have learned.
I believe that both parties have a strong determination to live and to live without governmental control or at the mercy of others.
In the end it is not the group that you belong to but the strategies that are implemented which will determine your chances of making it when and if a disaster occurs.

Prickly heat is very inflammatory and painful. Prickly heat, also termed as prickly heat rash, unearths when sweat piles up in certain parts of our body and leads to small red bumps on the skin. These red bumps are inflamed and result in severe itching. Prickly heat affects chest, back, waist area, underarms, and often neck. Prickly heat can be experience by people of any age. Small children are also affected with this disease as sweat in their body takes long to dry. They feel immense discomfort during the prickly heat rashes specifically in summer season. Albeit it does not cause any harm to them nor it leads to any other skin disorder.
Although, prickly heat can occur in any type of weather, it specifically attacks in hot and humid climate. Depending upon the seriousness of the attack, the red bumps may survive somewhere from 4-5 days to even 4-5 months. The main reason of prickly heat is the accumulation of sweat in some specific parts of the body from where it is difficult to dry easily. This conglomeration of sweat later results in blockage in the sweat gland and leads to red bumps and severe itching. This article will talk in detail about the various natural home remedies for the treatment of prickly heat rash or prickly heat.
There are myriads of reasons of prickly heats. The major reason consists of excess intake of alcohol, smoking, unhealthy and stressful life style. Too much consumption of junk food, untimely and irregular eating habit also led to prickly heat. Food poisoning and acidity can also be a cause of prickly heats. Cancer and side effects of some specific drugs can also lead to prickly heat.
The major signs of prickly heat are tiny red bulges on chest, neck, back, around waist site, etc. Severe itching and irritation around the bulges are other prominent symptoms.
The simplest method of getting rid of prickly heat is staying in cool room or opting for cold-water bath. Other options for getting instant relief from prickly heat are as under:
Oatmeal powder is a useful home remedy for prickly heat. Add a small amount of oatmeal in a bath tub and stir it well. Sit in this bath tub, oatmeal powder will offer fast relief from burning sensation and soothe the skin.
Apply herbal power or non-perfumed powder after bath. This will suck up extra moisture from the body and protect from prickly heat. Repeat this method 4-5 times a day. The only concept is to keep the body dry and free from sweat and moisture. Similarly, there are some herbal ointments and lotions like Aloe Vera-rich gel that can be facilitated for soothing the affected area.
Ice cubes are also one of the ideal remedy for soothing prickly heat caused because of hot and humid temperature. Apply and scrub ice cubes all over the red bumps. The cool ice cubes will cut down the inflammation and will also puncture the red bumps.
The other natural way of alleviating the affect of prickly heat is by using gram flour or besan paste over the infected area. Apply paste on the red bulges and allow it to dry. Wash it off using cold water. This helps in washing off all the dead skins and comforts from inflammation. This is one of the ideal home remedies for prickly heat.
Sandalwood paste is also very effective natural remedy for prickly heat. You can make a paste of equal quantity of coriander and sandalwood powder and a few drops of rose water. Apply this paste over the infected sites and let it dry. Wash it with cold water. Similarly, grind the barks of banyan tree into fine power after drying it. Apply it over the areas attacked by prickly heat. This too will soothe the skin and offer fast relief. This is one of ideal home remedies for prickly heat.
Multani mitti is rich in cooling properties hence it is one of the widely used treatment for prickly heat. Prepare multani mitti pack, by adding 4-5 spoon of mitti and 2-3 spoon of rose water mixed with plain water to make a thick paste. Administer it over the back, and other affected area. Let it dry for 2-3 hours and then rinse it with cold water.
Take 20-25 neem leaves and prepare a paste of it mixing with water. Use it over the affected area and leave it to dry. This is one of the best home remedies for prickly heat.
Take cotton ball and soak in cold water. Place it over the affected area and allow all the water to be absorbed away. Try this method 2-3 times a day. This gives comfort from inflammation and prickly heat. You can also mix few drops of oatmeal in it.

Philadelphia Phillies 6 - New York Yankees 1, Game 1
Phillies lead series, 1-0
Phillies lead series, 1-0
Cliff Lee's House
Cliff Lee pitched a masterpiece in Game 1. In the process, he became the first pitcher in World Series history to pitch a complete game with 10 strikeouts, 0 walks and 0 earned runs. In fact, only once before has a pitcher had 10 K and 0 BB in a World Series game, and get this-- it happened in the very first World Series game (1903 - Deacon Phillippe of the Pittsburgh Pirates). However, Phillippe allowed 2 ER in that 1903 game-- and the man he outdueled-- Cy Young.
Chase Utley provided Lee with all the runs he needed by belting 2 solo home runs off of C.C. Sabathia (0-1).
This was a huge win for the Phillies as they take home field advantage away from the Yankees.

Please stop the stigma! If someone is struggling instead of looking down your nose at them just give them support! Because sisters it can happen to you don't think it can't. What am I referring to? LONLINESS! People have actually committed suicide over it, check into a psyche ward over it. So the next time you call someone a loser or any other derogatory term really think about what your saying….there are ALOT of insensitive assholes out there. Ignorant too, regarding why someone doesn't has friends, is single a long time. Why not take time to talk to that person and just listen to them. That's pretty much all we want. We don't want you to solve our problems we just want YOU TO LISTEN! Maybe ask us out to coffee or a movie, we live in a society of total narcisstic & selfish types today in 21st Century America makes me wish for the 80's again. It's not like I woke up one morning & cheerfully said "hey I want to spend years of my life living alone. No it doesn't happen like that. As I told the Former F.B. friend I said to her its all a matter of location, location, location, meeting friends, meeting a significant other. And sadly you guys I live in a TERRIBLE city & state. The Pacific Northwest …Washington state! It truly SUCKS! I feel like I'm in a day to day Purgatory here! Everyone here seems to be in a perpetual bad mood.. An example of this is last night I was returning home from a N.A.M.I. support group meeting and because I catch the bus and it was after 8PM I had to hustle to my next stop lest I wait for another hour. Well I don't own a watch, I had no cell phone still waiting to get mine through a carrier, so I go inside to the Mall its closing early! and I go over to a barista stand and I very politely ask "What time is it"? Because I just could not find a mounted wall clock anywhere. The barrista behind the counter seemed put out. In a very irritated & clipped tone she replied in a monotone voice void of any feeling said " it's 9'0Clock" Wow good thing I didn't ask for a grande latte. I'm thinking sorry I even asked! See, everyone I just CRAVE,CRAVE a smile or a warm look from well especially women, I'm lonely and struggling. This incident with the barrista is one of SEVERAL TIMES that I've encountered the attitude and its worn me down. Its why I want to move real badly! Real badly folks. I'm desperate to get out of here! I'm not feeling sorry for myself NO! what I'm doing I guess is sort of documenting the many experiances that have led me to where I'm at today. It was nothing I did wrong, this is just what happened its the best that I can do to sort of put to words more clearly just how life can throw many, many wrenches into your life to really throw you right off your road that your traveing on the journey that is your life. Simply put there you are driving your car everything is going smooth…..THEN in a split second you lose control of your car & it goes RIGHT OFF THE ROAD, then you crash somewhere. I didn't really lose control but OMG did my life go off into a ditch! What I can tell you everyone was is that I was real lost for a lot of years, I wasn't lazy…..I was lost like a traveler without a good map! & I had no one to talk to. My Mother was herself lost & deep into her illness & she basically sought refuge in…..well let me leave that one out! My own Father….he was lost too so I really couldn't go to him for anything. He was what you would call a man who would marry, divorce-marry again-then divorce. So when HE felt lost in life what did he do? Get another Wife…..which I know all too well is not a very healthy way to approach life. He was not a well man either. And this folks are my parents 2 lost people who produce an equally lost Daughter. However everyone, God did bless me with excellent….or at least I think that's what it is……INSIGHT! I have plenty of it. I'm rich with insight…maybe not in money or material posssessions which when you think about it I would rather the insight over money everyone because how many people have committed suicide who were rich & privileged? Quite a few is the answer because money,status, won't help whats ailing you on the inside…a good example was actor Brad Pitt in an interview were he says that even AFTER he had made it as an A list multi million dollar actor who had acting jobs coming out of the wood work…..all of that and even HE felt empty inside this was while he was single dating around before he eventually met his finacee Angelina Jolie. He did drugs & was pretty aimless and he is the hottest & most sought after actor. When I read that article which was in Rolling Stone I felt validated it doesn't matter what side of the equation you fall into in life you can find yourself pretty lost without the right people or in my case ANY people to just help you along give you love, support, and their time any amount of time even if its just a few hours or so a week.
Lonely, isolated, alienated these are real life problems in peoples lives. We don't ask for you to have the answers….just give us love, a hug, and say to us "if you need anything" That's my favorite to hear from someone. And it doesn't have to be money cause remember to all of you that have it all the Family, the girlfriend or boyfriend, the family that just acknowledges that you exist….just remember everyone for us that live daily with the lonliness? Its the little things that count for us.

All right. So, you have some tough questions that you really want to ask. We're not like other companies who ignore those questions, so we've gone ahead and answered them…
I've looked around, and I see cheaper GPS devices out there. Why should I buy a HomeStar Pocket™ GPS?
Those other GPS products are good devices for their price. So, if price is really important to you, then you should buy one of the other devices. We're not going to try to convince you to spend more money than you want.
Yes, the HomeStar Pocket™ GPS costs more, but that's because we decided that size and reliability is more important than price. When you're lost or need to get back, that's when your GPS device can't fail. Sometimes, you need the best (and yes, sometimes more expensive) GPS components to give you the best chance of finding satellite signals. It needs to work properly every time, and it needs to be small enough that you'll always have it with you if you need it. You pay more for the HomeStar Pocket™ GPS, but you get a reliable device that you'll always have with you.
But don't just take our word for it, we encourage you to do your research and look at the reviews (e.g. "A HomeStar Review: The Tiny GPS That Can Be a Big Help" and at Amazon.com) for other personal GPS devices and see what other people think about the quality and reliability of those products.
My smart phone has an app that does the same thing. So, why do I need a HomeStar Pocket™ GPS?
Well, if the app serves all your needs, then you probably don't need a HomeStar Pocket™ GPS. But the HomeStar Pocket™ GPS makes a great gift, so unless you're willing to give someone a smart phone or monthly subscription, then you might want to consider a HomeStar Pocket™ GPS.
Or, if you want someone else to go back to a location that you stored, are you willing to give them your phone? Having a separate device is much more convenient.
Finally, many smart phones use cell phone towers to get location information. If you're out in the wilderness and away from civilization where your cell phone doesn't get good cell signals, then you're not going to get good location information either!
Other GPS devices have maps and other cool functions. If I'm going to spend money on a more expensive device, why shouldn't I buy one of those products instead?
If size and price is not an issue, then absolutely, get a map-based GPS device with multiple functions, the ability to record loads of information, connects with the internet, and uses big batteries to power its active antennas. When it comes to more functions and "fire power", those products will always beat the HomeStar Pocket™ GPS.
Think of it this way: You could buy the best, top-of-the-line laptop computer in the world, but it will never have all the functions of a desktop workstation. So if you want the full power of a desktop in your briefcase, you're not going to get it unless you're willing to carry around a computer tower!
The most important thing is to match your needs with the product (see the article "7 Things To Consider When Buying A GPS Device"). If you need a more powerful GPS device with lots of functions, then that's what you should get. If you need something small enough to fit on your key chain and is reliable, we suggest a HomeStar Pocket™ GPS.
Everyone (including you) says that the first time I turn on my device, it's normal that it takes extra time to find satellites. Can someone finally explain why?
Sure! The first time you turn on any GPS device in a new location, it has to figure out where the GPS satellites actually are. Since it's starting from scratch to find them, it takes a while. Once it finds them for the first time, it stores information about those satellites in its memory (called the "almanac") to give it a headstart when it looks for satellites the next time you turn it on. This headstart is what makes the next time go faster.
Think of it this way: If I took you outside and suddenly said, "Look up in the sky and find all the airplanes," it would take you some extra time to first find them. A minute later, if I said, "Look up again and find all the airplanes," it would be easier for you because you would remember from the first time: how many airplanes you saw, where they were, which way they were headed, etc. You would find them faster because you had some prior knowledge to help you look for them.
Here's a tip: if you occasionally turn on your HomeStar Pocket™ GPS to let it update its almanac, it will help make the satellite search go faster the next time you turn it on. This is because things have changed less between the times it was on.
What do you mean by the "best" GPS components?
Cheaper products use GPS modules and patch antennas. The HomeStar Pocket™ GPS uses a high quality passive helical antenna on a tuned GPS circuit board. We chose this higher performance antenna because: 1) a helical antenna has a high surface area compared to patch antennas and is therefore a superior antenna for picking up direct and reflected satellite signals (giving you the best chance of finding satellites), and 2) a passive antenna uses less power, thus allowing us to use a smaller battery and designing the smallest device possible.
The HomeStar Pocket™ GPS uses one of the best, high-performance microchips available today, and the manufacturer is one of the leading providers of advanced positioning solutions in the world.
