Unverified Voracity Is In The Computer
Radio mishap. Sorry to streaming listeners who ended up getting a nonstop pile of ads about halfway through the show. We don't know what happened there; we've reached out to WTKA and they say that should not recur. Podcasts should be coming, possibly tomorrow. We're still working out the kinks.
[Eric Upchurch]
RAGE now comes with official approval. The Big Ten said "whoops" on the punt flag:
Harbaugh asked the Big Ten for an explanation on the call, and during his radio show Monday night, said the league basically offered an apology for an officiating error.
"You just want to be able to know what to tell your team, that's why we ask, that's why we inquire," Harbaugh said. "Once the punter goes outside the tackle box, you don't know if he's a runner or he's going to punt the ball. He's afforded the same protection a quarterback would be when he's outside the pocket. If he throws the ball, he can be hit like a quarterback.
"They would've rather not thrown a flag on that. ... That's what they said."
They have not as yet apologized for the various other errors this crew inflicted on Michigan: the opening-play PI against Darboh is blatant, as is a hold on James Ross that sprung one of Oregon State's big runs on their touchdown drive. Michigan got hoooooosed on Saturday and still won 35-7.
Chris Brown on Power. An excellent primer on something Michigan's going to be running a ton of for the foreseeable future:
"There is nothing magical about the Power play," Paul Alexander, the Cincinnati Bengals' longtime offensive line coach, said at a coaching clinic in 2012. Almost every NFL team runs Power, though some (like the Seahawks, Vikings, Steelers, and Bills) will emphasize it more than others, and it has produced some of the most dramatic plays in recent memory, including Marshawn Lynch's infamous Beast Mode run. The idea behind Power is as old as football itself, as having an overwhelming force at the point of attack was an obvious strategy as soon as someone first picked up a football; versions of the play pop up as far back as in Michigan coach Fielding Yost's playbook from 1905. But NFL coaches have spent the past 20 years tweaking and adjusting the play, and now the proper form is gospel.
Brown details the various responsibilities the players have. This one in particular is something De'Veon Smith had trouble with in week one:
Running back: Veteran NFL offensive line coach Mike Solari, who's currently with the Green Bay Packers, says he prefers to tell the running back to "read the alphabet: Read from the playside A to B to C to D gaps for a running lane." But the running back's real key to success on Power is to let the blocking develop. "People ask me what I tell our running backs," said Shaw at the 2013 clinic. "Mostly what we tell our running backs is [have] patience."
He improved a considerable amount in week two.
Staples on the State of Michigan. SI's Andy Staples took in the doubleheader this weekend:
Graham Glasgow has just finished explaining the importance of pad level as it relates to play along the line of scrimmage—short version: the low man wins—when the Michigan fifth-year senior center says something telling. "I felt better in this loss," Glasgow says, "than I would after some of our wins last year."
Five days earlier, the Wolverines lost their season opener at Utah. Four days from now, Michigan will make its home debut under coach Jim Harbaugh against Oregon State. As Glasgow says those words, he stands in the Towsley Family Museum in Schembechler Hall. He is a few feet from the "Win Wall," a massive glass enclosure that, on this particular Tuesday, features a football representing each of Michigan's 915 all-time wins. In another part of the room, the words of former Michigan coach Fritz Crisler are carved into wood.
"Tradition is something you can't bottle. You can't buy it at the corner store. But it is there to sustain you when you need it most. I've called upon it time and time again. And so have countless other Michigan athletes and coaches. There is nothing like it. I hope it never dies."
Glasgow's words suggest that in 2014 Michigan's football tradition was dying.
Whole thing is worth a read.
This week in good quotes. Blake O'Neill quizzed about his modeling career:
"All sorts of things,"he said Monday at Michigan's weekly news conference. "Fashion modeling, catwalk, anything.
"I was a little budding Zoolander."
He does not have a "Blue Steel" look.
Who will I scoff at now? Texas deep-sixes Brandon 2.0:
University of Texas President Gregory L. Fenves is expected to fire embattled athletic director Steve Patterson, and the move could come this morning, a Houston-based source with knowledge of the situation told the American-Statesman.
Fenves and Patterson are meeting Tuesday morning, the Statesman learned.
It could bring an end to a tumultuous 22-month journey for the athletic department during which fans grew outraged over higher ticket prices and Patterson battled the perception that his cool demeanor simply does not fit UT's style.
"Cool demeanor" is the nice way of saying it.
Good on Texas for dumping their version of the buzzword-spewing Emperor's New CEO after less than two years. That Patterson got himself fired after making what look to be excellent hires in both football and basketball speaks to just how hated he was by just about everyone. Justifiably. Hell, I have no connection to Texas whatsoever and I hated him because he was bad for college football, all of it.
Hopefully they've got a Hackett hanging around.
Source tells @FoxSports "Not sure it'll go thru, but there will be a big push for Mack (Brown) to become the next AD at #Texas."

That would be a terrible idea, but on the other hand I would no longer have to listen to him relentlessly praise every coach in every situation. ("Not many coaches would feed their quarterback to an alligator at halftime, Rece, but Tim Beckman is an innovative thinker.") I approve.
Oh right. The legend:

I'm sure that will last.
Injuries and more injuries and Rutgers. Michigan's gotten through the first couple weeks of the season without anything serious happening to their players; other than Bryan Mone they're as close to completely healthy as a group of people playing football can be. This is not the case for a number of upcoming Michigan opponents.
BYU is of course down Taysom Hill and relying on freshman-ish Tanner Mangum, who was a big recruit a couple years back and is just off his Mormon mission. On the other hand, that linebacker who bingle-bangled a Boise State player right in the dingle-dangle will somehow not be suspended—nice to not have a conference sometimes. Michigan players will have to keep an eye on the family jewels.
Minnesota has a number of guys out with relatively minor issues but may have lost WR KJ Maye to a broken rib.
And then of course Rutgers. Star WR Leonte Caroo was the latest Scarlet Knight to get arrested. He's been suspended indefinitely for an "altercation" outside the stadium Saturday night that resulted in a domestic violence arrest. What exactly went down is still unclear, but if you poke around On The Banks the impression their comments give is that Rutgers insider types think it's pretty serious and we may not see Carroo for a while. Oh and they didn't list Darius Hamilton on their most recent depth chart because he has an undisclosed injury of some variety. And of course five guys got arrested for armed robbery and transferred to Michigan State before the season started.
Rutgers fans are now calling this "their darkest hour," which may be true if the history of Rutgers football started with Greg Schiano. It does not.
Speaking of Rutgers. Julie Herrmann has a job! Still! She is employed and everything! She probably has a company car and a dental plan!
Unhappy Moeller. Via Dr. Sap:
How the Norfleet thing went down. Via the man himself:
"To be honest, everything caught me off-guard," Norfleet said. "It just happened. (Harbaugh and I) weren't seeing eye to eye. Nothing real big. We had disagreements but nothing serious. He thought I was going to be ineligible, and I wasn't. He is real big on academics. That's one thing I can say about Jim Harbaugh — he's going to make sure these players are going to class."
Norfleet said Harbaugh never told him he wanted him on the team.
"I never got that at all," Norfleet said. "The only thing I got was, come back a semester to get a degree. Not play football. He wanted me to use my scholarship. I still love Michigan, though, as a whole. Sometimes, you've got to move on."
Unfortunate all around, but it seems like Michigan was willing to have him around even if he wasn't going to play. That seems to have smoothed over things with Detroit King.
It's not a crisis if you complain about it every year and things are just fine. The only person more prone to complain about spread offenses than NFL scouts and coaches is Gary Danielson, and the arguments the NFL has are about as good as Danielson's:
…if current trends continue, NFL insiders say, quarterbacks who have the sophistication to outfox NFL defenses to deliver the ball to open receivers are "going to be on the endangered species list," said Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine. "The quarterback may not be gone yet," he added, "but if you have one, protect it."
"It's doomsday if we don't adapt and evolve," said St. Louis Rams general manager Les Snead.
These people are just in charge of things for no reason and should be given the Patterson/Brandon treatment. Half of the top ten rookie QB seasons in NFL history have come since 2011. Those five seasons came from Robert Griffin, Russell Wilson, Teddy Bridgewater, Cam Newton, and Mike Glennon. Three of those guys came from out-and-out spread offenses. After one game Marcus Mariota looks set to join them.
I mean:
A parade of general managers, like Pittsburgh's Kevin Colbert, think that if the current model holds, the notion of drafting a quarterback to start right away will need to be scrapped.
Cleveland's Farmer has one idea: What if you could design an offense to minimize the passing deficiencies of modern quarterback prospects?
Etc.: Mike Riley literally has his team yelling "hip hip hooray" after games. Flanders, the coach. Local news talking with El Harberino. Jake Lourim with a longform on ECA, Freddy Canteen and Brandon Watson's school. Wide pin down. Harbaugh profile (autoplaying audio warning). SMH NCAA. UNLV is not good. Holdin' The Rope.
Exeunt Dennis Norfleet
For a time he danced.
with bread
But he will not return.
As previously reported, Norfleet is gone-gone. Despite him telling his former teammates he'll miss them on Instagram and every insider-y thing saying it was already a foregone conclusion, some of us held out hope for as long as it took the coaches to say it was official. Michigan posting a fall roster without him on it was more confirmation. Tuskegee publishing a roster with him on it means it's time to give up the ghost.
Michigan enters fall camp with 2 or 3 open scholarships for this year, depending on whether you count the long snapper. Norfleet would not have affected next year's numbers.
I am sad.
Unverified Voracity Says Something Nice About Steve Patterson
Have a middle-schooler? I mean in a parenting way, not a hostage way. Don't take child hostages. I shouldn't have to tell my readers this but some of you probably tweet recruits, so you have to be told everything.

How are watchlists going, then? Like this.
Yes, but interesting since it's this guy. Disney CEO on the future of ESPN, which it owns:
"I think eventually ESPN becomes a business that is sold directly to the consumers," Mr. Iger said.
ESPN, which is majority-owned by Disney, could use information from that direct consumer relationship to customize its product and enable more personalization, which will engage fans in a "much more effective way," he said.
Mr. Iger cautioned that such an offering is not "right around the corner"; even five years down the line, he believes there won't have been "significant change" in the pay TV business.
Except in scale, which will continue to contract as more and more people who don't care about sports figure out they couldn't get through their Netflix queue without turning into a TV hermit.

— Ben Cohen (@bzcohen) July 27, 2015
I have no idea what to do with this. So I have given it to you, to boggle and gawk at.
Some confirmation. There was a report on the board a few days ago that Dennis Norfleet would be seeking a transfer to Tuskegee. We couldn't confirm it on any open social media channels, but it was a weird enough location that it seemed true. And it appears he's at least exploring the possibility:
A spokesman at Tuskegee University told MLive on Monday afternoon that the university received official permission to speak with Norfleet about a potential transfer to the school over the weekend.
I'll be here by the seaside waiting for a return that will never come.
Further adventures in Steve Patterson. They include being so cheap that one of your football assistant coaches ends up having a trial during football season, but this is the moment when Michael Scott goes to a customer and kills it:
Patterson says he believes he knew what [Jimmy] Sexton was up to. "I've known Jimmy for 30 years," he says. "I told him if he wanted to come here and drink bourbon and eat barbecue and talk about Saban, that'd be fine. But I told him not to come here if he just wanted to get Saban an extension and a raise at Alabama, which I thought was his intention all along.
"Of course, Jimmy took great affront to that, which is fine. He was just doing his job. But that was the end of the conversation. I never talked to Saban and we never made an offer."
Correct, Steve Patterson. It's especially impressive since the rest of the article is filled with star-struck Longhorns thinking "THIS IS TEXAS" and believing Jimmy Sexton's crap about how there's too much pressure to win at Alabama. People lost their damn minds when Sexton came around with his old song and dance.
Well done not screwing around with that and locking down Charlie Strong, Steve Patterson. Not well done: everything else.
This is a reason Hoosiers is good. I agree with Rodger Sherman that Famous Movie Hoosiers hasn't aged well, especially when the integrated team shows up, but I mean come on:
Gene Hackman plays the role of Norman Dale, the down-on-his-luck coach that we're supposed to be sympathetic towards. We find out that he used to coach in college, then was in the Navy. Then later, we find out that the reason he got fired from his college job is because... he hit a kid.
At the beginning of the movie, it's tough to find out why we should like Dale. He's not presented as funny or likable or charismatic or even nice.
Then, we find out that he punched one of his players, and he goes from a mediocre guy I don't care about to somebody I strongly dislike. Dale was an authority figure who used physical force against a person he was supposed to protect and nurture, which in my opinion is the least sympathetic type of person in the world.
I kind of think this should be a one-strike-and-you're-out deal. If you don't have the self-control to avoid hitting kids, you shouldn't be allowed to coach kids anymore, ever. I want this person to fail and think the people of Hickory are bad people for letting this person coach their children.
A lot of times, a character with obvious flaws redeems those flaws over the course of a movie. But Dale never conquers his anger issues, consistently putting his assistant coaches -- one of whom has a heart disease, one of whom is an alcoholic attempting to recover, both of which are types of people who shouldn't be subjected to unnecessary, sudden amounts of stress -- in charge.
Dale is presented as a jerk and remains a jerk all film long. Are we supposed to be proud that all he did was yell at the players and refs and didn't actually hit anybody?
That the head coach and pretty-much main character in the movie is a nearly unredeemed jerko is probably historically accurate. It is also a more accurate representation of life—people don't change much—than any of the Angels In The "Lidz" Store movies that Sherman apparently keeps in a constant rotation at SB Nation headquarters.
This impression only grows stronger because Sherman's next criticism is that there is no montage scene where all the players decide they're going to honor their dead grandmothers and/or General MacArthur. Hoosiers is not The Mighty Ducks. This is not a problem.
That's nice. I wish this wasn't coming from the most infamous basketball reporting twitterer of all time (OF ALL TIME) but I'll take it:
3. Which program will emerge as a potential Top 10 team?
Michigan. … John Beilein's team is a bit of an afterthought heading into next season. It won't stay that way for long. Walton, LeVert, Spike Albrecht, and Zak Irvin (77 made 3-point shots last season) give this team a savvy and experienced perimeter while both Aubrey Dawkins and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman got valuable minutes last season as freshman. Ricky Doyle, D.J. Wilson, and Mark Donnal should stabilize the post and if the Wolverines can get more out of the "stretch four" position they should be loaded for bear.
It should be a fun year for a lot of reasons. Probably not hockey-related ones.
Too soon. Toys R Us appears headed to bankruptcy, or at best a near miss:
Insurance companies are cutting back on their coverage of Toys "R" Us Inc. suppliers, bringing another headache to a retailer that has suffered more than two years of losses, people familiar with the matter said.
Coface SA and Euler Hermes Group, which sell credit insurance to vendors, are canceling some policies and declining to renew others, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the process isn't public. The carriers may still negotiate with some vendors to keep providing some coverage, one of the people said.
Losing coverage could raise concerns for toy suppliers as they weigh the risks of shipping to the retail chain, which scrapped plans for an initial public offering in 2013. Credit insurance protects suppliers in case a retailer fails to pay them for merchandise, as in the event of a bankruptcy.
Unfortunately this is too early to point the finger at Dave Brandon and scream "j'accuse!" It does seem like he was brought into an insoluble situation to take the fall, which is a nice karma thing.
Really. I'm typing this blind since my eyeballs have rolled so far back in my head that you can touch my optical nerve:
Don't touch my optical nerve, or take child hostages, or tweet recruits, or let Rutgers in the Big Ten.
Etc.: Wolverine Historian updates his A-Train tribute. Piesman Trophy is go. Bowl games don't spring teams to better seasons. Talking with John Wangler. Talking with Tyler Motte. BRING YOUR CHAMPIONS. Michigan-shaped biscuits? I'm listening. IS MY WIFE THOUGH?

Dale Harvel Isn't Helping Dennis Norfleet
[Adam Glanzman]
Dennis Norfleet's murky situation has blown up into the first real PR crisis of the Harbaugh administration. Unfortunately for Michigan, it's one they're legally prohibited from saying much of anything about. FERPA restricts their ability to say much other than "he is on the team" or "he is off the team." Right now Michigan isn't saying either. They've gone with this:
A Michigan athletic department spokesman told The Detroit News that the situation was "an internal matter."
All right then.
As a result all the talking is coming from Norfleet's high school coaches. One seems like a reasonable gentleman. The other is showing his ass. Here's King head coach Dale Harvel:
Harvel added about Norfleet's situation: "If only one kid out of 120 is missing class, they must be the No. 1 program in the country (for football players' academic achievements)."
Harvel has repeatedly said things like "we're not going to let him be a victim," outed private conversations he had with Fred Jackson, publicly bemoaned his decision to switch away from a Cincinnati program on the verge of hiring Tommy Tuberville, and generally done everything in his power to make academic standards like "go to all your finals" seem nefarious. Usually when high school coaches blow up like this it's because their kid has seen his scholarship yanked for a dubious reason, or none at all.
It was Harvel who leaked the apparently erroneous information that Norfleet was gone, which turned the story from message board rumor* to something that every local news organization has dedicated big stories to. It was Harvel who went full steam ahead with the information that Norfleet was not doing things expected of him in the classroom. He is the #1 reason this is a thing. Because Norfleet is a "victim."
I mean, you know me. I just about challenged Brady Hoke to a fight about Norfleet's misuse during his tenure as head coach. But if Norfleet is no longer on the team because he missed several classes and did not attend at least one and possibly more finals, that is on one person: Dennis Norfleet.
And Jim Harbaugh cannot be concerned with just Norfleet here. It's his first semester as head coach and he's just going to let that slide? What kind of message does that send to the other 84 kids on scholarship? Is that likely to improve or degrade the overall academic performance of the program?
The answers to those rhetorical questions are obvious to everyone except Harvel. Privately resolving issues with the head coach—and there have been a number so far that have been so resolved—is more likely to create a positive outcome both in the short-term individual player level and for your relationship with a major school of interest to your players. But Harvel has decided that grandstanding without information that is, you know, correct is more important.
I hope Norfleet makes it back. His coach isn't helping.
*[Albeit one that was more credible than your garden-variety internet rando mutterings since it had the backing of John Borton, an editor at Rivals. It is not hard to trace the path here: Borton names Norfleet, Nick Baumgardner starts checking it out, hits upon the King coaches, and then the tempest takes over the teapot. This is why I don't report on potential transfers anymore. I would rather not spend a week with my head in an alligator's mouth, thanks.]
Norfleet Not Actually Gone
[Bryan Fuller]
Via Sam Webb this morning:
Contrary to multiple published reports citing comments for Norfleet's high school coach, Detroit King headman Dale Harvel, the senior kick/punt returner has not been dismissed from the football team….
"He has been suspended for the past three weeks," the source said.
He may or may not make it back.
A Detroit King assistant did tweet out something about trying to get Norfleet to graduate. That seemed to imply that Norfleet could be up for a graduate transfer; it also implies that if there's any damage to his transcript it's not so far gone that he's doomed.
Exit Dennis Norfleet
the last of the famous international playboys
This rumor had been floating around for a couple weeks now, picked up steam on Rivals this morning, and has now been confirmed by Nick Baumgardner:
ANN ARBOR -- Dennis Norfleet is no longer a part of Michigan's football team, according to his former high school coach.
Martin Luther King High School football coach Dale Harvel told MLive on Tuesday that Norfleet has been dismissed from Michigan's program by coach Jim Harbaugh.
"Evidently he was dismissed from the team, Dennis informed us he was no longer on the team," Harvel said Tuesday afternoon. "Something about a disciplinary thing between him and coach Harbaugh. Whether it was academics or something internal, I'm not sure. He just said they had a disagreement and he was let go."
I have heard it was academic. Not sure if that's a slackness that is now verboten under the new regime or a Norfleet morale issue leading to breakdowns elsewhere. [UPDATE: Steve Lorenz says he skipped "more than one final."]
The writing was on the wall as far as Norfleet's career went when he featured as a tiny cornerback in the spring game and was mercilessly picked on for the only offense of the day. With that secondary and that WR corps, the fact he was on defense was a death knell. He may have continued returning kicks and punts; even that job was going to be put under major threat by Jabrill Peppers.
This does get Michigan to 85 scholarships, give or take a walk-on. With a couple of medical hardships likely to be on the way, there should be room to add a fifth-year WR or two, as Mike Spath has suggested might happen.
I will now go sit by myself in a dark room and listen to the Smiths.

Jim Olsen has long since established himself as a man with an uncanny knack for finding local talent. When it comes to the latest project his Signature Sounds has lent its support to, the label pres admits it was actually a knock at the door that led to a collaboration with the Knack (knack.org).
"They asked for a donation of unused CDs, jewel cases and LPs," he says of the for-profit business that has set up a "Pop Up Shop" in Olsen's new facility on 32 Masonic Street in Noho to showcase and sell "creatively used/donated materials once destined for the landfill."
"We donated quite a bit," says Olsen, "and as a thank-you gift they gave us a gorgeous chandelier made of jewel cases which now hangs in our entranceway."
In addition to the art shop featuring the work of local "upcycling" artists, the Knack Pop Up Shop will be accepting donations of reusable goods, offering inexpensive arts and crafts supplies and materials and hosting classes and workshops Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. now through Dec. 22.
In related news, Olsen reports that the new Signature Sounds structure has enabled the label to engage in a few "parlor" tricks, too.
"It's a beautiful, newly renovated space in the front of our new headquarters," he says of the Parlor Room. "And since the venue has a limited seating of 50, we'll be doing two shows a night—one at 7 p.m., one at 9 p.m."
New label signee Heather Maloney and regional string-rock quartet Darlingside christen the Room Nov. 24, followed by Boston-based Joy Kills Sorrow with opener Margaret Glaspy Dec. 1.
For tickets or more information on any and all of the aforementioned, kindly point your browser to signaturesounds.com.
Meanwhile, Judy Lemay of Bright Lights Music in Connecticut checked in to illuminate yours truly on the details surrounding her upcoming exercise in altruistic audio with edibles.
Dubbed the Skyline Supper Club, Lemay says, her Nov. 18 dinner show at the Windsor Locks restaurant of same name will feature the musical stylings of celebrated crooner Jimmy Mazz while raising cash for the Hole In The Wall Gang camp.
"Jimmy is such a great talent and entertainer, and we have the area's own Hannah Dessert opening for him with some songs by Adele and other songs," she revealed. "I don't know where else you could see what is essentially a Vegas-caliber show with great dinner, dessert and coffee, and be a part of a night of giving—to Paul Newman's great charity, no less—for only $39, tax and tip included?"
If you concur, call the Skyline Restaurant at (860) 623-9296 to reserve your tickets/table today.
Back in the Valley… and fresh off the nation's top festivals, including Coachella, Wakarusa, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo—the "open-sourced musical project" Bassnectar comes to the UMass Mullins Center Thursday, Nov. 15 with supporting acts Gramatik, GRiZ and Gladkill in tow. Tix are $36 and available at ticketmaster.com.
Last but not least, the Crawler is once again thankful to have his own standing Thanksgiving Eve gig at the Hazard Grill (hazardgrille.com) in Enfield with his band Summer's High set in ink.
And per tradition, it's an opportunity he's equally enthusiastic about sharing with fellow musicians. In years past, members of Maxxtone, the Crystal Blue Project, Johnny Sixgun and more have stopped by to sit in for a tune or two (then adjourn to the bar for three or four). If you'll be in that neck of woods and interested in setting up a similar scenario, please email email@example.com so all parties involved can set up some tentative times/get on the same page song-wise. The show starts at 7 p.m.•
Send correspondence to Nightcrawler, P.O. Box 427, Somers, CT 06071; fax to (860) 394-4262 or email email@example.com.

Merrell Chameleon II Stretch XCR
There are two flavors: regular mesh and XCR - I got…
Materials: Gore-Tex XCR
Use: Around town, wet hiking, dry hiking, light packing
Break-in Period: About 30 seconds
Weight: 2lb, 2oz
Price Paid: $110
There are two flavors: regular mesh and XCR - I got the XCR (Gore-Tex) version.
I'm going to have to agree with the other viewers - these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. This in large part due to the design of the shoe; with the tongue eliminated, slipping into the shoe is much like slipping on a light neoprene sock as it cradles your foot nicely. I have med-wide feet and these shoes keep me going for miles without blisters or hot spots where others have failed. They are also waterproof (the XCR version), even after prolonged exposure to 2-3 inches of water as a freak squall caught me in a valley once.
*Waterproof (XCR version)
*Incredible comfort and fit
*lacing system is a joy
*Wide platform for stability

wow, these shoes are terrible. In hindsight I don't know why I bought them. The shortcomings are obvious. There is no rand around the side or (barely) toe to protect against normal wear, so they sustained a lot of damage quickly just from light hiking. The tie mechanism is worthless. I will take shoe strings please. All this is only after three hikes. I returned the shoes and got the Vasque Gore-tex shoes. They are awesome!

Price Paid: $130
i bought these shoes after watching Man vs Wild and noticed Bear Grylls wearing them while he tackelled all different types or terrain. So I ordered a pair on-line and am wearing them ever since. I used to have to wear foot inserts b/c of my bad feet, but these shoes support the complete foot giving me greater comfort then I had while using the inserts. Bottom line buy them, you will love them!

Journal linuxrocks123's Journal: Okay, people, this is starting to get scary.
A recent Slashdot article about CIA reclassification prompted a lot of comments suggesting that a majority of Slashdot posters may have some sort of mental illness. Like, maybe, paranoid schizophrenia. The idea seems to be that all large corporations and governments are absolutely and intractably evil. They think every other law is unconstitutional and that the Bill of Rights is meaningless today. Oh yeah, and China is going to kill the U.S. economy because it holds some U.S. bonds. That's another good one.
Of course, this isn't true; the government does some good things, businesses are subject to a LOT more regulation than they would like (and thus aren't in control of the government), free speech still exists in the U.S. (Why else is Michael Moore not in jail?), the Supreme Court still finds laws unconstitutional from time to time, and the worst China can do is stop buying our bonds, which would have a barely noticeable impact on the U.S. economy (China can't "call in our debt." Bonds don't work that way).
Posters also commonly conjure up images of a mythical medieval era, where kings reigned viciously over their subjects, but "things were done differently" with regard to the law, the principles of which were somehow nobler. They'll talk about some ancient legal principle (usually one that has become irrelevant to modern practice) or the wording on a subpoena and build an entire story out of it. I've seen this on Groklaw too, where it's even more scary. They're history is often wrong, and I don't know why they bring this up on a technology site. Perhaps it's another sign of a widespread delusion among the afflicted posters.
This isn't to say that these posters are stupid. Many intelligent people are also insane, and those skilled in mathematics seem particularly prone to mental illness (consider Cantor's fate). It's just a little scary to find that many in this crowd think so irrationally. I often find that the Wall Street Journal's arguments are orders of magnitude more well thought-out even when I don't agree with them.
Any comments from other posters noticing this bizarre phenomenon are welcome. Rants from those posters afflicted with some form of mental illness are also welcome, though not necessarily encouraged.

We celebrate Resurrection Morning today, and my hope and prayer is that each of you will know the peace, joy, and love that comes through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Jesus came to earth to die for our sins, and he demonstrated his power over death and the grave by rising on the third day. Because of this, we do not have to fear death. His desire is for each of us to believe in him, trust in him, and live in obedience to him.
Each day we bring you one stunning little glimpse of history in the form of a historical photograph. Enjoy!

Ice Fishing
Today's pictre is from the early 1900's and is shows a woman ice fishing. I have never been ice fishing, but it looks like the woman is having some luck. I would imagine this was an important part of helping to feed her family.
Thursday, March 28, 2013
Fishing Canoe
Today's picture is from the late 1800's and shows two men after a successful fishing trip in a canoe. Notice that the canoe is outfitted with a rather comfortable looking chair. The shore is well laid out to get in and out of the boat, and it looks like they could just about do so without getting their feet wet. The picture was taken at Lake Gogebic, in Michigan. The fish are black bass.

Indian Fishing
I love this picture of an Indian Fishing. He is Hupa, and the picture was taken in 1923. I love the calmness of the lake, and it looks like it is early morning.
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Woman Fishing
I really like today's picture, and it shows a woman fishing in the Tidal Basin in Washington DC. Have you ever noticed that people who like to fish will always manage to find a spot to fish? Around here I often see a person fishing in an odd spot, and I wonder, "are you really supposed to be fishing there"? In any event, this woman has found her spot, and I hope she had success that day.

Salmon Fishing
This is a wonderful picture from 1895 showing two men salmon fishing from a boat. The picture was taken on the Columbia River in Oregon. They are fishing with a net.
Saturday, March 23, 2013
We continue our celebration of the arrival of Spring by making this Fishing Week here at OPOD. We will be looking at photographs of that most relaxing tradition. This is a classic photograph of a girl fishing with a simple stick fishing pole. I can remember growing up fishing with Cane Poles, which were just a piece of cane, with a string and hook. Ah yes, the good old days.

Saying Grace
We wrap up Picnic Week with this picture from West Virginia, taken in 1938. The folks are saying grace before the start of their picnic. The tradition of saying graces is still a strong one in many parts of the South, and Midwest. I am not sure about other places.
Thursday, March 21, 2013
Man Table
My first question when seeing this picnic picture was, "Where are the women?" My best guess wold be that they are doing something useful. It does look like these guys have taken their picnicking to that next level as they have there own improvised table and nice chairs. The picture was taken in 1940 at a horse show near Shelbyville, Kentucky.
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
Vale Oregon
Today we have a picture from Vale, Oregon. The family is picnicking right out of their car. The picture was taken at a 4th of July picnic in 1941. The more I look at these old pictures, the more I think we should rekindle the old Picnic Tradition!
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Picnic on the Beach
Today's picture is from about 1900, and it shows some young people enjoying a picnic on the beach. The picture was taken on Coney Island. It is amazing how much our standards of modesty and decency have changed in the last hundred and ten years or so. There is a striking difference in what types of things you see on the beach these days.

Frying Food
Picnic Week continues here at OPOD with this picture from 1940 of a church picnic in Kentucky. It looks like they are frying up some food, but can not tell exactly what it is. My guess would be either fried chicken or catfish. When I was growing up, church picnics were more likely to have BBQ, but if something was going to be fried, most likely it would be catfish.
Sunday, March 17, 2013
This is another picture from the same picnic we saw yesterday. I really like these pictures . . . they are so iconic they almost look like they are from a movie set instead of read life. I think Barbque is one of the best picnic foods. As much as I love fried chicken, it gets soggy pretty quickly. The BBQ is nice because it can be served right off the grill.

We wrap up Women in the Workforce Week with this picture of a woman working alongside a man on a cockpit of a B-25 Bomber. the picture was taken in 1942 at the Douglas Aircraft Company in Long Beach, California.
Thursday, March 14, 2013
Vengeance Dive Bomber
Today's picture is from 1943, and shows a woman working on a Vengeance Dive Bomber. The picture was taken at a factory in Nashville, Tennessee. Like many of the images from this series, she is wearing jewelry in a factory, which of course is a safety concern. Not sure if this was normal for the time, or that everyone was just dressed up for the picture.
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
Probably one of the first places women found large scale employment outside the home was in the garment industry. The picture above was taken in about 1900, and is shows a woman working in a sewing factory. I can not help but be impressed by the sturdiness of the machine she is working on.
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Aircraft Engine
Today's picture features a woman working on building an aircraft engine. The picture was taken in 1942 at the North American Avaiation Plant in California. I am surprised that the woman is working with a ring and bracelet. I wonder if this was just for the picture or if they people would normally work with their jewelry on back then.

Radio Operators
We wrap up High Tech Week with this picture of a group of men learning to operate radios. The picture was taken in 1912, so this would have been in the very early days of the technology. The group was part of the Wireless Radio School in New York.
Thursday, March 7, 2013
High Tech Week continues with this picture of Thomas Edison in his lab. Edison is remembered by many as a man who helped usher in the present era of High Tech development. Actually I have never been a Thomas Edison fan, and believe his popularity is due to a great public relations department at General Electric, a company he started. During the early days of electricity, Edison sponsored a traveling road show in which stray animals would be brutally electrocuted on the public square to frighten people, and to discredit his competitors, a team made up of George Westinghouse and Nicola Tesla. Edison even invented the electric chair, and gave them to prisons to execute criminals with Tesla's competing AC electricity. When the animals were killed, or someone was executed in the electric chair, Edison used a term he had coined, and said that they had been "Westinghoused". In the arena of technology, Edison was neither a brilliant nor creative mind. He simply solved problems with brute force trial and error, and bought himself time by viciously attacking his competitors. It is funny that Edison is remembered as the father of electricity, when in the end, we all use AC electricity, which was the type he fought so ruthlessly against. Nicola Tesla worked out all the math and technology needed to make practical AC motors, generators, and the means to practically transport electricity to people's homes.

Chemistry Lab
Ahhh . . . the good old days when men could enjoy a good pipe smoke in the chemistry lab without fear of persecution. All kidding aside, I can remember I entered the professional workforce in the 1980's and at that time it was still common for coworkers to smoke inside in their cubicles. Also, I can remember in the 1970's in High School teachers smoking inside.

Test Car
This is an interesting picture from 1923 that shows some sort of test car. It looks like the car has been instrumented as a portable weather station. Not sure exactly what it is doing, but that is my best guess.

Portable Radio
I enjoyed reading the comments yesterday, and hearing everyone's memories about the old tube radios. For those old holdouts still listening to these vintage radios . . . I wonder how hard it is to get the tubes for them now. Are all the old tubes even made anymore? I know the tubes burned out fairly frequently.
Anyway, today's picture is from the early 1900's and it shows a young lady listening to a radio. Again, massive batteries needed to run the radio. Battery technology was limited back then, so I bet the batteries did not last very long.
Sunday, March 3, 2013
Old Radio
Today's picture shows an early radio receiver. The device was self contained, and capable of receiving a signal from across the country. You can see that the device is based on seven vacuum tubes and the bottom half is filled with batteries. A vacuum tube was a very early electronic component that could act as a switch or an amplifier. They used lots of power, and burned out frequently. In the 1970's the vacuum tube was replaced by the solid state transistor. A transistor could do all the work of a tube as a fraction of the cost, low power and they did not burn out. Using transistors miniaturized electronics for two reasons. First, the transistors themselves are small, and second, since they dont use much power, the need for huge batteries was reduced. For comparison, modern computer chips can have in the neighborhood of 10 billion transistors.

High Tech Week
Welcome to High Tech Week here at OPOD. We will be looking at technological advances over the last 150 years. We start with this picture from 1937, where a microscope has been instrumented with a camera to take photomicrographs. It is amazing how far things have come since then!

Queens Library at Seaside, located at 116-15 Rockaway Beach Blvd., sustained an estimated $1.2 million in damages during the storm, including a loss of $500,000 in library books alone.
"We are so glad to have the doors to Queens Library at Seaside open again," said Thomas Galante, president and CEO of Queens Library. "It marks another positive step in the community rebuilding process, and presents so many opportunities for the library to enrich lives."
In addition, the Queens Library at Arverne is set to reopen in December. The Queens Library at Peninsula is operating out of a temporary building until it's reopening in the fall of 2014.
"I appreciate Queens Library and their initiative to get thee libraries open as soon as possible," said State Senator Joe Addabbo. "The more ribbon-cuttings we go to, the better it is for our people."
With many residents are still rebuilding or repairing their damaged homes, Addabbo said the library will be a vital asset for them.
"There are some people who haven't replaced computers and rely on the library for the internet," he said.

Wikitravel:Travellers' pub
The Travellers' pub is the place to ask questions when you're confused, lost, afraid, tired, annoyed, thoughtful, or helpful. Please check the FAQ and Help page before asking a question, though, since that may save your time and others'. Also, if you have a question or suggestion about a particular article, try using talk pages to keep the discussion specific to that article.
If you are having a problem that you think has to do with the Mediawiki software, please post that on the Bug reports page instead.
Please add new questions at the bottom of the page and sign your post by appending four tildes (~~~~) to it, but otherwise plunge forward!
Keeping the Pub clean is a group effort. If we have too many conversations on this page, it gets too noisy and hard to read. If you see a conversation that could or should be moved to a talk page, please do so, and note the move here.
Stuff that's been moved:
Also, see the Travellers' pub archives for older archived discussions.
Please sweep the pub
So, the TP has been getting kinda crowded and messy. I'd really appreciate if we could all make an effort to clean up a bit by moving discussions to places more appropriate or deleting discussions that have reached their conclusions. It's a tedious job, but like most, it's easier if we do it together. --Evan 16:44, 20 Apr 2004 (EDT)
Checklist for Wikitravellers on the road?

Oregon Contributor Activity
There seems to be quite a number of newbie contributors in Oregon for some reason. If you see anyone contributing there, check it out because they often seem to need some guidance. -- Colin 13:30, 10 March 2006 (EST)
As an assignment for a business class at Oregon State my classmates and I are required to update a public wiki with "valuable contributions."
Did anyone attempt to find out the professor(')s(') name? I'd be more than happy to send him/her a letter explain that we welcome the help from his/her students and how exactly he/she should instruct the students to contribute i.e. MoS, templates, and the copyleft. - Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 05:29, 11 June 2006 (EDT)
I see the new logo's been put into place, and it looks nice.

I'd be happy to make a favicon.ico file, but obviously I can't update it on the site myself. Todd VerBeek 22:11, 18 March 2006 (EST)

New article type suggestion
I was walking around in Paris today and found a great walking path from central Paris to Chateau de Vincennes in an eastern suburb. My immediate thought was: 'I want to tell other people about this on Wikitravel!' But, as I see it, we don't have any place to put such info...
I therefore suggest that we create a 'Walk'/'Stroll'/(insert better name suggestion here) type of article as a sub-article to cities. The layout could be about the same as Itiniraries and the articles could include photos, recommended stops, etc.
What do you think? Comments, suggestions? -- Jelse 13:20, 1 April 2006 (EST)
Retaining users
I've been editing and adding less information than I normally do so I've been welcoming new users instead. I've also been checking how often some users and I've noticed that many travelers seem to contribute for a month or up to three months and then seem to cease activity. Anyhow, my point, or rather my question is this: How do we retain these users? There seems to be the core devotees - Admins and then some lowly users who love WikiTravel, but even with our expansive knowledge of destinations and such we unfortunately don't know everything about Earth. We really do need to retain these users, because they offer key expertise in various regions and cities. How can we inspire them to further contribute to WikiTravel? Sapphire 20:34, 3 April 2006 (EDT)
1. Search function: Now when i write "evan" nothing about Even arrives until i click after the first hit another time below the boxes user, talk etc. People are used to google and may not allways look for destinations
2. Quickbars, codes, shortscuts: Their should be one general document with all basic codes and a short example how it looks like. If I don't have a clue of codes and download the basic codes and you don't need to go everytime you need something back to the help page.
3. Docents: Good idea
4. Feedback: Sapphire and Maj encouraged me with their feedback to continue writing. Especially if you are new here you are unsure if you are welcome and it's ok the way you do it. The welcome message helps to find around

Claiming my input
I just created an entry for Avebury, and being conceited, think it's pretty snazzy, but somehow it lost my id somewhere along the line, so I'm not attributed in the history.. any way of 'reclaiming' an article in the history log ? If someone wnats to argue with me, I'd rather they didn't argue with an IP address! --TheBigYin
TripAdvisor adds wiki
While writing up this week's Wikipedia Signpost news roundup, I saw that high-profile travel website TripAdvisor has added a wiki called the "Inside Pages" to its site, allowing visitors to write articles about travel destinations and so forth ("TripAdvisor imitates Wikipedia"). They're doing beta testing on U.K. and California information right now; I don't see any obvious notice of the copyright/license terms for the info. Thought you might like to know, and I'd like to know what you think; it's possible we may write more about this in the Signpost next week. -- Catherine)
I am interested in buying a wikitravel branded piece of clothing for when I next go backpacking. However there appears to be no link on Wikitravel to anything like this. Therefore,
1) Could we create an easily found page directing people to the Cafepress.com merchandise (they have 25 products with the Wikitavel logo on it) at:http://www.cafepress.com/buy/wikitravel/-/pv_design_details/pg_/c_1/id_8949393/fpt_/opt_
2) Is there anywhere else that sells merchandise related to Wikitravel, if so, could that be listed too.
Thanks, Witty lama 07:33, 18 April 2006 (EDT)
Drink/Local Beer
I'm a self-admitted beer nerd (and seeking help through ethanol therapy, thank you!) and like to try out local offerings. I recently wrote most of what's currently in San Marcos and added a "local beer" section under drink. I should probably get around to this for Houston and the like. Does anyone see a problem for me adding this to other pages (or have ideas for a better way to work the information in)? I'm not a wine person, though I know that Texas and California have some pretty decent local wines that the traveller might want to know about too, so I guess there could be a more general name for this section, but I can't think of a good one. Jordanmills 21:25, 23 April 2006 (EDT)
Wikitravel ownership
This isn't an announcement board, but as a common gathering spot, I figure it's be a good place to point out a bit of news that might otherwise slip under people's radar: Wikitravel.org is now owned by Internet Brands, and is going to be managed by Evan and Maj - still as an open-content travel guide - as employees. IB also now owns World66, another open-content travel info site. See Wikitravel:Internet Brands for more info about what this means for us, them, and the other them. - Todd VerBeek 12:55, 24 April 2006 (EDT)
See vs Do
Hey folks, is there any guideline to help figure out what is "See" and what is "Do"? Would a museum count as see or do? 18.104.22.168 20:40, 30 April 2006 (EDT)
City Centres(sic) and Districts
I am interested in people's opinions on cities where the districts are really inner suburbs, with most of the sights concentrated in the centre and it doesn't seems productive to go all the way in creating districts. In this case, an anonymous user created Headingley and Chapel Allerton, which are part of Leeds. I moved these to discrict pages, but I don't feel we should move all the city centre info to a Leeds/City Centre page, as it seems happy enough where it is. Is this acceptable?, and could it be used in a few more cases where the main article could become the de-facto city centre article. -- DanielC 16:50, 4 May 2006 (EDT)
Esperanto version
Hi I´m new to Wikitravel but have been using Wikipedia & Vikipedio (the Esperanto version of Wikipedia) for at least a couple of months. I´m certainly no expert at Esperanto but I have a basic understanding of it (which is not hard) and I was wondering what other Wikitravellers think about starting Wikitravel in Esperanto. I would be able to help out with it, although I would feel better if there was someone better at it than me who was in charge. I don´t know what´s involved in being an admin, but if it´s no harder than being a user (other than a little extra time) then I´m willing to do this if no-one else is. Let me know what you all think. User:AussieDingo1983 2006-05-06 05:52 (UTC)
I hope someone is keeping an eye on the IP user's contributions, just to make sure that the listings are only to primary sites and the linking is not excessive. — Ravikiran 15:50, 11 May 2006 (EDT)
Country/region oversight
Does Wikitravel have general overseers for the world's various geographic regions (e.g. an overseeing mod for Western Europe, or Brazil)? It might be useful to copy Wikipedia's example of nominating uber-mods who have the final say on matters pertaining to a specific subject. This would ensure that there was a long-term editor watching over a set of articles who had proper perspective on how they were set out.
For example, an overseer for all article about France would be the ideal candidate for making sure that all France articles conform to Wikitravel standard formats, could be a responsible figure to turn to for consultation when major changes to that set of articles were proposed, could flag articles which need bringing up to par with the best France articles, could coordinate other mods interested in France, could coordinate efforts to remove systemic bias/failings (e.g. the UK article has problems with semi-humorous regional and class conflicts emerging in the article), and could be the final arbiter on matters to do with France articles. Most of those jobs are already performed by editors working en masse, but haphazardly and in pieces. Appointing someone with a little more power and responsibility to deal with major groups of articles might make the editing of those articles more efficient.
I hope I haven't missed this feature's existence! Polocrunch 17:48, 11 May 2006 (EDT)
For those of us who are visual learners
Has anyone discussed the possiblity of creating some standard icons for various systematic information, such as hours of operation, admission charge, telephone number, guided tours available, photography not allowed, handicap access, restaurant or cafe at the location, etc? Perhaps a small section behind each location description that would include the icons and the related information? I can provide a Photoshopped proof-of-concept if anyone is interested. - Cybjorg 12:37, 15 May 2006 (EDT)
Sites of interest as opposed to the city/region/etc. focus Wikitravel has so far
A lot of the most interesting places to visit in China — for the "adventure tourist" at any rate — are, for historical reasons obvious to anybody who knows China's history, in way-the-Hell-out-of-the-way places nowhere near a city or town. Examples would include Longhu Mountain, home of one of the most important Taoist temples in China and White Deer Academy, the world's oldest university. (Other standalones which could at least plausibly be associated with nearby cities would include Shaolin Temple, Donglin Temple, Tiefo Temple, etc. but I think they'd still be better served as separate destinations rather than as simple entries in a city page.) I'm really not sure how I'd go about adding information on these kinds of places given the editorial policies in place and the templates provided. And yet I really want to actually document these out-of-the-way places which I've grown to love in my stay in China. Could anybody with some suggestions on how to do this drop a line on my user talk page? --Michael 06:49, 17 May 2006 (EDT)
"Discover" page created for Wikitraveltrivia
So I took TVerBeek's suggestion and created Wikitravel:Discover for the "Did you know?" stuff. Debates about naming and how to display this on Wikitravel talk:Discover, please. Jpatokal 13:48, 23 May 2006 (EDT)
Equivalent of wikipedia's reference desk
Is there currently an equivalent of a reference desk in wikitravel? Andjam 01:13, 25 May 2006 (EDT)
As far as I can tell, there are no articles left in Wikitravel (not counting archives or reference copies) which consist entirely, primarily, or substantially of CIA World Factbook imports.
If you manage to find any, please plunge forward and fix it yourself.
I do have to say: de-factbooking the last few dozen remaining imports the past couple days was a rather interesting excursion through many tiny little islands, some vast swaths of Africa, and... how did Mexico manage to go so long without a full factbookectomy?
- Todd VerBeek 15:02, 5 June 2006 (EDT)
Is this still a community?
Sorry but I begin more and more to wonder if wikitravel is still a community or just one or two navigators plus a bunch of content providers. It seems that important decisions are done outside the community, while important actions that could restore faith (database dumps or xml exports) are postboned. While we can discuss about the reasons not to have a public vote about selling whatever to internetbrands, we - as a community - should definetly have discussions (and votings) before significant changes in the look and feel are made. Btw, I never saw a change of the ToC on the "Requested Feature"-page. Of course, consensus takes time, but where is the problem. We had white spaces for years, I think we could have lived with them a few weeks more until a decision was made.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I get the sad feeling that parts of this project are slowly dying. I think this is especially true for the german language version. I'm not saying I'm quitting right now, but I definetly lost a lot of joy I found in the work here. Just to give some feedback, Thorsten 16:52, 6 June 2006 (EDT).
I'm very concerned about the current development. There was no real reason for changing the TOC. Evan wrote, that there were several complaints about it. For those, there are other solutions such as Template:TOCleft - with an advantage of individual use. If the current change will be maintained, I will quit contributing on German language Wikitravel. -- Steffen M. 05:57, 7 June 2006 (EDT)
@Jan: I think the real reason for the current crisis on German language Wikitravel was not simply the selling out of Wikitravel, it was the undemocratic and abrupt decision of Evan. There was no chance for discussing the issue and finding alternatives, for example founding a society such as Wikimedia. Furthermore, we really don't know until today, why he sold Wikitravel. The change of the TOC is just a continution. It's true, especially in Germany we hate it to see the power in one man's hand (the reasons should be known). -- Steffen M. 07:11, 7 June 2006 (EDT)
Problem displaying location hierarchy after a redirect?
Umea redirects to Umeå. If you follow the link for Umea, the first line of text after the title is "(Redirected from Umea)," but on Umeå, it's "Scandinavia : Sweden : Norrland : Umeå." Shouldn't this line also be present after following a redirect? Philbert2.71828 15:37, 7 June 2006 (EDT)
guys , english is not my mother tonguage , i just want to search for movies about different countries before i travel to it..movies speaking about natural places maybe animals..anythng interesting about the country i m heading to? i just want to know what is the name of that kind of movies , is it documantry?i always search documantry movies but it just speak about history of the country.. and just a suggestion can we add a topic for every place or city with movies made by us..i mean most of the travellers do some photoing and make small movies while they are travelling , can we add a section of ( movies ) to every country so every one can upload his own movie about it ?
the next step is about the practical problems , like the format of the movies and teh extra bandwdith needed , well i think that can be solve.for the format i think we can leave it free for anyone to do what he want..maybe he has low internet connection so he will upload low quailty movie , maybe other has higher band , and can do better.. teh next problem of the extra band , i don't know but i can think of 2 solutions, maybe we can depend on the torrent tecnology so the role of the server in wiki will just act as manger of teh process and no need for large extra band , or we can just depend on other torrent sites which can do that and just link to it..
in either cases i think the practical problems must not stop us..for example take a look at legeltorrent.com , u will see a nice movie about sibria in russia!
Requests for Quickbar-ectomies
The recently introduced quickbar template is now in use in over a hundred articles, but there are still a substantial number of articles using the old quickbar. Converting to the new format is pretty easy, so anyone interested in helping out can use this link to locate pages still implementing an HTML quickbar, and then edit the page to use the following syntax:
{{quickbar | image=[[Image:image|noframe|250px]] | flag=[[Image:flag]] | location=[[Image:location|noframe|250px]] | capital=[[Capital]] | government=Type of government | currency=Currency used | area=Country area | population=Population | language=[[Language1]], [[Language2]], Language3, ... | religion=Religion(s) | electricity=Electrical voltage and current | callingcode=Calling code | tld=Internet top level domain | timezone=Time zone(s) in relation to UTC }}
If you don't feel like looking up a field it can be left empty, such as "timezone=". In addition, Todd points out the following:
This isn't a critical task, but the more people who feel like helping out the faster it will get done. -- Ryan 22:22, 13 June 2006 (EDT)
Compliant external use of Wikitravel
Seems to me e-journey.net [4] is one of the very few external sites properly obeying the CC-by-SA 1.0 license. I found them early on June 14th and it appears that the articles they copied and pasted are very old, because all of the articles I looked at had "External Links" on the bottom. I also like how they copied and pasted the links to images, but didn't use any of the images. - Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 01:42, 14 June 2006 (EDT)
Wikitravel on IRC
Is this used much? The link given on the help page didn't work in my browser. I haven't used mIRC in about 7 years, but I downloaded it in the hopes of getting some quick answers to easy questions. (Instead of asking in my edit summaries :)). When I got to #wikitravel I was all alone. Sup? OldPine 11:16, 16 June 2006 (EDT)
Marco Polo
As discussed here earlier, I've done On the trail of Marco Polo. So far, I'm the only editor. I think it is finished. Others please look, comment, perhaps improve. Pashley 05:15, 18 June 2006 (EDT)
Any objections about importing Wikipedia:Template:Unsigned and starting to use it? -- Jonboy 17:19, 23 June 2006 (EDT)
Quickbars on states?
I've noticed whilst trawling through Wikitravel upgrading the old quickbars to the new template that alot of the states in the US and also a few of the departements in France have quickbars... Do these actually need quickbars? In most cases, the info in the bar is merely a summary of what is already written in the wordy bit of the article or a copy of what is written in the country's quickbar, such as language spoken, currency, internet domain, time zone etc. A few examples of this are Maine, Poitou-Charentes. For the sake of uniformity throughout wikitravel, I believe we should either
However, in my opinion if we put region quickbars in, the kinds of things that could be put in - such as main sights - would require explanations in the See / Do sections.... What do other people think? Tsandell 07:54, 26 June 2006 (EDT)
TMI on Airplane Routes
User:126.96.36.199 has added large tables of airline connections to a bunch of articles (for example Abbotsford). I think they are too much detail, and should be deleted. But I'd like a second opinion first -- Colin 16:18, 28 June 2006 (EDT)
Wikitravel on PDA
I'm new to this project, so forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section. Anyway, I feel the real wikitravel revolution would come from PDA compability. A simple program installed in your PDA both for reading wikitravel and adding new information. I would use wikitravel a million times more and contribute ten times more than now if I could read and contribute through a handheld computer and just "sync" (downloading all new information and uploading all contributions) when coming across a WiFi hotspot or a internet connected computer with a USB-port. Has this been discussed? Is there such an application already? Why isn't it top priority? -- Fridday 20:35, 29 June 2006 (EDT)
Linking to downloads
User:deepinlife has been linking to movies on the Siberia article. At first I directed him to include the links in the understand section only if the movies were informative and useful similar to what we would do for a book. I thought the links were linking to an informative website about the movies, but I later realized that the links were actually links to download the movies. I'm very hesitant about allowing this because the potential abuse. What do others think? To see the discussion I had with Deepinlife please consult my talk page. -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 01:57, 2 July 2006 (EDT)

I have hypoplasia and my son and I got off to a really rough start...we have dealt with tongue tie, following a rediculous suggested feeding regimen, a very sleepy first week with tons of missed feedings....ugh....needless to say my supply never got establishedwell. I have played catch up and done EVERYTHING in my power to climb back up to this. Obviously i wish I could start over & do it right with the knowledge I have gotten
Basically my milk supply is measured by constant pumping at 15 oz a day + or -. I pump every hour in between feeds because I have a low capacity and once I have 2 oz...production really slows.
I want to know if I should just put my báby to the breast instead in those inbetween hours and just supplement every 3rd hour which would give him the same amount. His tongue tie has stretched out a little on its own so he does nurse effectively now.... I just worry that with so many micro meals he will just get frustrated and upset as he does when I switch bottles in my sns and the flow stops.
I don't want to frustrate him....but I want to nurse him more often directly instead of pumping. I just want to offer like in a normal breastfeeding experience. I only make 1/2 oz an hour so he quickly goes through it. Its hard to figure out what to do in this situation because I cant rely wholly on my own milk so i cant really apply the suggestions in the guide to breastfeeding book.

Hey Husky,
I have always used my external frame for packing out meat mainly because it's all I've ever had to use.
My internal framed packs are too small to even carry a quartered deer out but boned out is ok. But where do I put my gear if I only need one trip ? Some times I bungie/tie my badlands 2200 pack to my pack frame with good heavy duty game bags and then I can pack the meat out in the bags tied the the pack frame then bungie my pack onto to it. Last year I got lazy with a doe antelope and gut it, cut it in half, cut legs off at the knees and put each half in a bag and bungied to the pack frame and hauled it out about a mile or so. I didn't have my pack , just my rifle and binos, knife and saw. Bungied all to frame. I knew I was going to shoot one when I saw them and put on a loooong stalk so didn't take my pack. I would of if I didn't see what I was going after first. Just my experiences.

2012 Cross Country
Bluffton runs well at HCAC Championships
Beavers host 2012 HCAC Cross Country Championships
October 27, 2012
By: Bryson Hartzler, sports information assistant
Men's Results I Women's Results
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University men's and women's cross country teams competed in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships, which returned to Bluffton for the first time since 2005. More than 200 runners from the conference's 10 member colleges and universities toed the line to determine a conference champion. Manchester University's men and women claimed their fourth and third consecutive conference titles, respectively.
The men finished fifth overall, just six points behind fourth place finisher Defiance College. Ryan Schadewald (Lima/Bath) was the first Beaver to cross the line in 27:35.5, averaging 3:27/K to finish in 18th place. Schadewald's performance earned him a spot on the honorable mention All-Conference team. Freshman Kevin Stewart (Springfield/Emmanuel Christian Academy) came in right behind Schadewald in 20th place, finishing in 27:39.8. Stewart was also named to honorable mention all-HCAC, in addition to being named the Heartland Conference Freshman of the Year. Fellow freshman Colin McCloskey (Sylvania/Northview) rounded out the top three for the Beavers in 24th place with a time of 27:46.9. Senior captain Chris Arnold (Fort Wayne, Ind./Canterbury) was named to the All-Sportsmanship team following his final HCAC cross country performance.
Head Coach Karen Brandt was extremely pleased with the men's performance. "Watching the top five finishers of the men's team is one of the most exciting and proud moments of my coaching career. We are looking forward to an equally fine or better performance at regionals."
The women finished in sixth place, led once again by their senior captain Alison Janzen (Whitewater, Kan./Remington). Janzen ran an outstanding race in her last HCAC Championship, crossing the line in 24:30.3 which was good enough for 7th place. Janzen's performance earned her a spot on the all-Heartland Conference team as well as the All-Sportsmanship Team. Freshman Demi Snider (Kenton) finished in 20th place with a time of 25:26.4 earning her a spot on the honorable mention All-Conference team. Fellow freshman Tara Murphy (Westerville/Thomas Worthington) finished right behind Snider in 23rd place, running a time of 25:41.3.
Coach Brandt was also excited about the women's finish, especially from Alison Janzen. "Alison Janzen's All-Conference performance is the culmination of two years of dedicated hard work, and I am extremely proud of and happy for her. With the strong performances of the freshmen at positions two and three, we are continuing to build the foundation for a great program."
The Beavers are off next weekend but will return to action on November 10 at the NCAA regional meet held on the campus of Andersen University.

Is It True That Women Are More Cautious Investors?
"Battle of the Sexes" stories sells well, but ultimately a blend of both investment styles may be the best bet for financial success.
The new season of Downton Abbey takes place at the start of the Roaring Twenties, but begins with the sort of stock market debacle that would seem better suited to an ominous October nine years on. After learning that the man of the house had just jeopardized the entire estate with a can't-miss railway deal gone awry, its women were aghast. "Why were you so heavily invested in one enterprise? Isn't that foolish?" asked Lady Cora of her husband, the Sixth Earl of Grantham. "I cannot understand why so much money was put into one company," seconded the indomitable Dowager Countess. Even the wealthy American upstart played by Shirley MacLaine insisted, "I cannot touch the capital," when implored for funds to ensure the grand manor wouldn't go under.
Are such pop culture clichés accurate in portraying women as more careful and cautious investors than men? Certainly, some studies have found genuine differences between the genders in money matters. Women are often more inclined to favor both bonds over stocks and mutual funds over specific equities, are invariably more attuned to how wealth accumulation will affect future family dynamics, and tend to enlist others in their social circle as opposed to the news media for frontline financial advice. Above all, and maybe mindful that they must make lower average salaries stretch over a longer lifespan, there is evidence suggesting that women are indeed more risk averse in the way they approach the stock market.
Admittedly, one should stay away from easy stereotypes and generalizations, as exceptions abound. Muriel Siebert, founder of Siebert Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:SIEB) and long lauded as "The First Lady of Finance" is an excellent example. Her official website maintains: "One of [Muriel's] favorite words is 'risk,'"adding in the next paragraph that, "'Risk' could be her middle name." The article goes on to mention
Helen Young Hayes, who found fame and fortune as a fund manager at Janus in the 1990s stock market boom, ran triathlons for fun while besting all-comers with an aggressive investment style over a storied 17-year career in which she controlled more than $40 billion in assets. Across the Atlantic, her contemporary Nicola Horlick was a similarly successful Type A personality, dubbed 'Superwoman' by Britain's financial press for an unerring ability to juggle stellar returns while bringing up six children. London's current economic "It Girl," mother of nine Helena Morrissey, has compiled an enviable track record as Chief Executive Officer of Newton Investment Management.
Yet Brad M. Barber and Terrance Odean of the University of California did unearth quantifiable differences between the sexes in a seminal February 2001 paper on the subject for the Quarterly Journal of Economics. "Boys Will Be Boys: Gender, Overconfidence and Common Stock Investment" synthesized discount brokerage account data for over 35,000 households from February 1991 to January 1997.
Among its findings were that men exhibited substantially greater self-assurance in their investment ability, even when the evidence failed to warrant such cockiness. (A subsequent study showed that, since 1978, there has only been one single month when women's consumer confidence exceeded men's, as measured by the University of Michigan Sentiment Index. That was in March of 2000, which intriguingly enough was the precise point Nasdaq (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) hit a high which it has not remotely approached since.)
The authors also demonstrated that men traded 45% more than their female counterparts, with single males being by far the worst offenders. Such churning served only to rack up commissions and reduce portfolio returns.
Perhaps some differences can be explained away by basic biology. John Coates, now a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge but a Wall Street trader in his previous life, has recently published groundbreaking research on the role that sex hormones play in trading decisions. To hear him tell it, much of the blame for the financial crisis rests squarely on the testosterone-fueled shoulders of Wall Street's Masters of the Universe.
So who is better with money? LouAnn Lofton, author of the provocatively-titled Warren Buffet Invests Like a Girl (HarperBusiness, 2011), is in no doubt. Women, less ego driven and more willing to admit when they don't have all the answers, win hands down in her view. They do more due diligence, yield less readily to peer pressure, and aren't as easily swayed by the latest hot stock tip. Girl power proponents can also point to 2008 Vanguard survey of Individual Retirement Accounts that showed men were more prone to panic and sell at the market bottom, while women for the most part kept calm and carried on. More recently, for all last week's headline-hogging of alpha males like Icahn and Ackman, Rothstein Kass reported that female hedge fund managers actually outperform the opposite sex. (Albeit comprising a considerably smaller sample size, for men make up 97% of the sector. One can see why New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof memorably remarked that Wall Street's senior staff meetings still tend to resemble a "urologist's waiting room.")
"Battle of the Sexes" stories sell well, but ultimately a blend of both investment styles may be the best bet for financial success. Even Barber and Odean, leading authorities on the topic, are quick to point out that, "The differences among women and the differences among men are much greater than the differences between men and women." Generational divides and those involving "Singletons" and "Smug Marrieds," to quote not Dow Jones but Bridget Jones, also carry considerable weight.
Indeed four years ago at Davos, with the economic meltdown still uncomfortably fresh, several panelists wondered aloud if the same fate would have befallen our financial system had Lehman Brothers been Lehman Sisters. The majority view among the assembled moguls was that a combined sibling company would have fared best of all.
So much for "he says, she says" – now tell us what you say. Please feel free to send in your thoughts on the subject.

A lawyer for an inmate accused of leading a jailhouse gang in Maryland is asking that his client be moved out of state.
Gary Proctor, a lawyer for Tavon White, says the conditions of White's confinement at a state prison in Cumberland make it hard for him to prepare a defense.
He says it's "nigh on impossible" to share documents with his client when they have to communicate through glass. He asked a federal judge Tuesday for a hearing on his request to have White moved out-of-state.
White was one of 25 people, including 13 female corrections officers, indicted last month in a contraband smuggling conspiracy at the Baltimore City Detention Center.
The indictment states White had sex with and impregnated multiple corrections officers.

Hey National!
Hope everyone had a great and relaxing break with your loved
ones. I spent the break back in my hometown (just outside Boston)
with family and high school friends, and overall had a fantastic
break. I got to spend a lot of time with my siblings (3), which
means a lot to me because I'm always away and I'm the oldest one. I
enjoy seeing what they are up to and how they've grown and if I can
help them in any way I can. This included a bunch of high-speed
mobilizations. ;)
Tri 7
After going full track for the last 4 trimesters and 15 seminars
I was burning out a bit and decided to drop 2 classes below full
load to give myself a break this trimester and stretch 7th and 8th
trimester into 3 trimesters so I can focus on more seminar
information and implementing that into my treatment skills heading
into clinic. I dropped PT Modalities and Advanced Diagnosis, which
were 6.5 credits total. I'm currently taking all 7th Tri classes at
21.5 credits. The Good News: After 6th Trimester, you've made it
through all the hard classes!! From my understanding, 7th Trimester
is just a ton of paper work but the actual difficulty of material
is behind you, so it is a different animal.
For Fun
Over break I was re-reading the Four Hour Work
Week by Timothy Ferriss and how to calculate the monthly
income needed to live your dream lifestyle. Ferriss insists you can
live an incredible life with an unremarkable income as long as you
plan accordingly. Tim describes some of his most incredible
adventures like yabusame (horseback archery in Japan), world class
tango dancing, skydiving, and driving a Aston Martin can all be
done on an average income. Of course, the book talks about making a
'muse' business or a business that can be set up (preferably on the
web) to run automatically and ideally generate enough revenue to
offset the costs of your incredible adventures. I've been working
on some side projects to one day to be able to do this simply
because I enjoy entrepreneurship and expanding my brainpower.
How does this relate to you as a chiro? Well, we can calculate
how much we need to make to live however we want!
Lifestyle Exercise: 10 mins
First print out this template: http://fourhourworkweek.com/dreamline.pdf
After Med School Graduation I Dream of:
A: Having… (Cost/Month or One Time Cost*)
B: Being… (Steps)
C: Doing... (Cost/Steps to Complete)
Now, you can take this as a ridiculous exercise or a serious
one. Basically it's designed to give you an idea that you can
really live the life you want. All the things that would make me
incredibly excited and fulfilled can be achieved for this example
(all things added up) = $71,400 or $5,950 a month!
That number is highly exaggerated, too, because that includes
buying a sports car, start costs of a private practice, and
vacationing 2 weeks in Europe, along with skydiving, golf
membership, and a top tier mountain bike all in one year.
Obviously, you don't have to start a practice and buy a car
every year! If this was an ongoing year it might be closer to
$1,100 a month! Plus rent/mortgage, food, bills.
The exercise is just to get you to say, "What if I could…"
That means a much more interesting life :)
