2013 Fishing Outlook |
The information that is below is an outlook on how the fish populations should be in 2013 and are based on the 2012 Fall sampling. |
Wipers |
Good |
Majority 6 to 15 inches with 15 to 20 inches close behind |
Numbers doubled from last year and the fishing should be good. 6 to 15 inch fish accounted for 46%, 15 to 20 inch fish accounted for 42% and 20 plus fish accounted for 12%. The biggest fish sampled weighted 11.0 lbs. Density rating for fish 12 inches and above ranked 5th in the state. The biggest fish sampled weighted 8.79 pounds. |
White Bass |
Fair |
Majority 12 to 15 inches |
Numbers doubled from last year with the majority of fish being in the 12 to 15 inch size range accounting for 53%. Fish over 15 inches accounted for 22% and the biggest fish weighted 1.93 lbs. Density rating for fish 9 inches and above ranked 10th this year. |
Walleye |
Good |
Majority 15 to 28 inches |
Walleye fishing should be good as numbers are up this year with 85% being over 15 inches and another 15% being in the 7 to 15 inch size range. The largest fish sampled weighted 7.47 lbs. Density rating for fish 15 inches and above ranked #1 in state this year. |
Channel Catfish |
Good |
Majority 16 to 24 inches |
Catfishing should be good with the numbers about the same as last year. The population is still fairly young with fish 8 to 10 inches being 7% and fish 11 to 16 inches accounted for 40% and 53% were 16 to 24 inches. |
Crappie |
Good & Fair |
Majority 2 to 6 inches |
Although low numbers of fish were caught in the trap nets due to cold fronts passing through crappie fishing should be good for black crappie and fair for white crappie. Had a really good crappie spawn for both with 61% of the blacks and 80% of the whites being 2 to 5 inches. Will still be some 8 to 15 inch fish accounting for 23%. However, the density rating for black crappie is #1 in the state for fish 8 inches and above. |
Largemouth Bass |
Good |
Majority 15 to 20 inches |
The bass fishery is starting to come around and should be good. The majority of fish were in the 15 to 20 inch size range accounting for 49% and fish 11 to 15 inches accounted for 40%. The biggest fish sampled weighted 3.68 pounds. |
Crappie |
Fair |
9 to 17 inches |
Heard of some fish being caught up shallow in the coves and along tree lines using jigs. Have also been picking up a few around the north and south breakwater's. Would also try around the irrigation outlet using jigs and around the north & south shore fish attractors. Also heard of some being caught on jig and nightcrawler in 20 feet of water while walleye fishing. All the boat ramps are usable except for Morel. |
Walleye |
Good |
14 to 28 inches |
Have had reports of limits of fish being caught along the river channel south of the old swim beach around to Old Marina Cove point anchoring & drifting night crawlers. Also starting to pick up some trolling with diving lures. Remember the 15 inch length limit because will be some short fish caught that need to be released. Stocked 56,671 walleye fingerlings on 05-31-2013 |
White Bass/Wiper |
Fair |
10 to 30 inches |
Have been hearing reports of white bass and wipers being caught around the fish attractors, breakwater and flood gates casting jigs. Also picking up a few while drifting and trolling diving lures. Stocked 120,000 wiper fry on 05-16-2013 |
Catfish |
Fair |
20 to 36 inches |
Have had reports of channel cat being caught up to the west end using stink bait. Try fishing the North and South breakwaters as the channels and flatheads will be moving into the rocks to spawn. |
Rainbow Trout |
Fair |
10 to 20 inches |
Stocked the fifth and last round of 2100 trout on March 11th. Been catching trout on spinners, salmon eggs and powerbait. Season is over, therefore, no trout permit is needed to fish in the stilling basin, however, the creel of 5 fish still applies. |

When implementing cryptographic/coding theory algorithms one need to use data like big prime numbers, numbers in Z_n and their inverses, irreducible polynomials in Z_n[x] and so on... While sometimes it is easy to write a simple program to get simple examples of these it's handy to have a list with some non-trivial examples. Do you know where can I find such data?
Generating prime integers and computing things modulo integers is easy with a programming language which features support for big integers. I usually use Java: it includes
For irreducible polynomials, things are more complex: Java does not offer a generic method for testing irreducibility of polynomials (or, for that matter, anything related to polynomials). I do have my own library but it is not generally available (I implemented it for a customer). However, my friend Google points out that this library appears to be fairly complete in that area. |
As far as very large prime numbers, have a look at the following link. http://primes.utm.edu/largest.html It gives you a summary of the largest known primes. Good luck with calculating their multiplicative inverses, though. That will not be so easy. |
If you use a high-level mathematical language (Mathematica, Maple, etc.), generating this data is very easy. I use Mathematica personally, but some are free and apparently very good. In a pinch, you can use Wolfram Alpha to do a lot: Generate random prime:
Random integer:
Inverse mod p: (Returns random prime p, random integer a, a^-1 mod p)
It gets tricky supplying large numbers because queries are limited to 200 characters. Also you can't store variables and use them in subsequent queries. That is why using the actual applications is better. (For example, the last query above would simply be PowerMod[a,-1,p] if you could store a and p after you generate them.) |

The principal dispute continues to be over taxes, specifically Democrats' demand to extend most tax cuts passed under President George W. Bush while allowing higher rates of the 1990s to return on top income brackets. During his re-election campaign, Obama said doing so would protect 98% of Americans and 97% of small businesses from tax hikes.
Republicans have opposed any increase in tax rates, and Boehner suffered the political indignity last week of offering a compromise -- a $1 million threshold for the higher rates to kick in -- that his GOP colleagues refused to support because it raised taxes and had no chance of passing the Senate.
Obama and Democrats have leverage, based on the president's re-election last month and Democrats' gains in the House and Senate in the new Congress. In addition, polls consistently show majority support for Obama's position on taxes, and Democrats insist the House would pass the president's plan with Democrats joined by some Republicans if Boehner allowed a vote on it.
However, conservative activist Grover Norquist has vowed to back primary challenges against Republicans who violate his widely signed pledge not to raise taxes. Even if a deal is reached, Norquist has predicted yet more budget showdowns every time the government needs additional money to operate.
The two sides seemingly made progress early last week on forging a $2 trillion deficit reduction deal that included new revenue sought by Obama and spending cuts and entitlement changes desired by Boehner.
Boehner appeared to move on increased tax revenue, including higher rates on top income brackets and eliminating deductions and loopholes. But his inability to rally all House Republicans behind his plan raised questions about his role and what comes next.
The saga has fueled disdain for politicians by many Americans. Such contempt is deserved, said Rep. Steven LaTourette, an Ohio Republican, who is retiring from Congress.
"I think America should be embarrassed by its leadership in D.C.," he told CNN on Friday. "The fact that we have been unable to do things, and instead worried about our next elections. ... I think it's sinful."

Biking the Hoan would be better, riders conclude after trip downtown
Biking over the Hoan would be better, three dozen bicyclists concluded Monday after dodging traffic on a purposeful ride from Humboldt Park to the Discovery World Museum.
The result was no surprise.
State Sen. Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee) and his legislative neighbor Rep. Jon Richards set up the lunch-time trip to show the dangers and inconvenience of the Bay View-to-downtown bike route the Wisconsin Department of Transportation chose 10 years ago. Then, the DOT rejected a proposal to add a bike and pedestrian lane to the bridge that connects the south side neighborhood to the lakeshore near Veterans Park.
Richards called it a "bitter conclusion."
Almost the entire route is on busy streets, and bicyclists have no protection from motor vehicles. Richards called the experience pedaling on S. Kinnickinnic Ave. and S. 2nd St. "unnerving."
Add in nearly 20 intersections, and the confusing route is clearly inferior to the alternative: a bike and pedestrian pathway on the 2.5-mile Daniel Hoan Memorial Bridge, Larson said.
"It would be so much easier to say go over the most beautiful bridge you see, and that's going to connect you," Larson said.
The ride was part of the current campaign to change the yet-to-be-completed path chosen in 2002.
Larson, Richards and cycling advocates have a window of opportunity to make their case, while the DOT again studies the feasibility of a bike lane as part of the planning for a reconstruction of the bridge scheduled to start in 2013.
A report on the cost and engineering challenges of adding a bike route, separated by a safety barrier, is set to be released later this year.
"This is a 40-year opportunity; a generational opportunity," Larson said, as he gathered the group outside the Humboldt Park Pavilion.
The ride reinforced the impressions the bikers brought to the street.
"I prefer not to have all the stop signs and traffic," said Debra Tuckwood, a member of the Bay View Bicycle Club. "I probably wouldn't want to do it by myself."
Tuckwood was one of the thousands who took the opportunity to ride the Hoan during the Miller Lite Ride for the Arts in June. That experience convinced her that the slope and wind would be easily overcome.
"I was surprised it was as easy as it was," Tuckwood said.
Larson urged the riders, a mix of old and young, some on clunky mountain bikes and others on recumbents, to press business owners and state officials to see the benefits of opening the Hoan to bikers and walkers.
Their task is to convince opponents like Sheriff David Clarke and Gov. Scott Walker, who have called a bike lane on the Hoan too costly and too dangerous.
The group that traveled down S. 2nd St. doesn't need further persuasion.

What? Slow down some more? It's bad enough when I hit the parkway I have to slow down due to a poorly planned light and exit at Oklahoma. Sorry, I can't support that.

Biking the Hoan sounds incredibly dangerous and just plain dumb for bikers and drivers. I bike pretty often in the downtown and east side area of the city. I would never bike the Hoan.
Just a week ago a car broke down on the Hoan and a guy was killed because his car was rear ended while he was looking at the engine.
Add in nasty crosswinds up there, which are strong enough to blow my Jeep Grand Cherokee all over the place I just don't know how someone can convince anyone this is safe for bikers & drivers.brewcitypaul Oct 17, 2011 4:45 PM

Ooh ooh, I want a lane right from my house to my job also! Where do I sign up. I know Chuck Cecil's a big football star and all, but if he gets one and I don't, I'm going to jump up and down or hold my breath.
MikeTWI Oct 17, 2011 4:49 PM
2fs, ok, how about when you register your bike every year they tack on the costs for this marsupial bridge?
MKEJake Oct 17, 2011 4:49 PM
If they can make bike traffic work on the George Washington Bridge (connecting NJ and NY), we should be able to make it work on the Hoan. The GWB is fed by both I-80 and I-95 (a bit more traffic than I-794) at a speed limit of 45 mph. Build a barrier on one side of the Hoan to create a path for bikes and pedestrians traveling in both directions and call it a day. The article says the Hoan needs to be reconstructed in 2013 anyway, so I don't see how this is going to cost us that much more money. Incidentally, the bike path on the GWB is closed during the winter, so there are no snow removal costs.

Some folks like simple numbers, simple statements, or simple math. So here are some facts and figures to consider:
More Bikes = fewer cars on the roads
Fewer cars on the roads = less money spent on road maintenance and repair
Over 2 Million Wisconsin residents ride bicycles regularly (Source - DNR report, 3/2011)
Less than 1 million Wisconsin residents Hunt annually (Source - DNR report 3/2011)
The combined expenditures for Pedestrian and bike infrastructure in the 2011/13 WI Budget is less than 0.24% of the total transportation budget.
Since 1967 The State of WI has spent a total of $244 Million dollars on dedicated bicycling infrastructure.
The ANNUAL tourism revenue generated by bicycling in WI is $924 Million. In other words, every year bicycling generates 400% return on the total investment of the last 44 years.
According to a DOT traffic count study performed in OCTOBER 2003 80,000 bicyclists use the designated bike routes on each side of the Hoan.
Chicago recently constructed its first European-style protected bike lane or "cycle track" on Kinzie Street. According to a traffic study conducted in Chicago this summer Bicycle traffic on the street increased 60% after the cycle track was installed. Even more importantly, bicycles now make up 48% of peak hour traffic there.
I am running out of allowable characters or I would go on.
What the above facts make clear is that there is a large number of people who ride bikes in WI, and also who ride adjacent to the Hoan bridge. There is definitely a reasonable case for a need.
Additionally, history shows that Wisconsin's investments in bicycling infrastructure pay off phenomenally well.
The Hoan is already scheduled to have the decking replaced in 2013. The cost will be relatively unchanged by the addition of a bike lane. The only question is the configuration of the decking.
The business case is there for the bike lane.BDWIRunner Oct 17, 2011 4:53 PM
Why do people argue so much? Ok so the bike lane would probably be about 6 feet wide max, have a baracade so vehicle traffic can still go its usual speed limit and probably have a baracade/fence on the other side so bicyclists wont blow off the bridge. Doesn't sound like a big deal and it might help business downtown. I have tried to bike from South Milwaukee to downtown and almost got lost in the bay view area and the ride wasn't enjoyable. Riding over the Hoan would be so much fun. :)

This recipe calls for less than half the cream cheese than others I've seen. And indeed when I made this cheesecake per the recipe I ended up with a strangely thin cake to my eye - even with the topping (I used creme fraiche). By volume, it was also too sweet. You could easily reduce the sugar by a third or maybe even half if sticking with only one pound of cream cheese. It absolutely needs an 8" springform (I used a 9" model), even with the topping. The last ten minutes at 450 is also going to make the vast majority of run-of-the-mill sour creams start to separate - they have carrageenan and guar gum thickeners that will run when subjected to the heat called for in the last cooking step of this recipe.
The methodology also calls for extreme care when mixing the ingredients. The combination of relatively high heat, no bain Marie, and short cooking time will almost surely result in a cracked cake if too much air is whipped into the ingredients. DO NOT use a hand mixer for this cake - use your stand mixer WITH THE PADDLE NOT THE WHISK and mix on setting 1 or 2 and just barely until the ingredients are mixed. Hand mixers even on a low speed will beat too much air into the ingredients, especially if you are mixing in a bowl that's too large and whose sides are not as upright as the mixing bowl of a typical stand mixer. Do not use a whisk, even if hand powered. Whisks are designed to move air into a mixture which is an absolute no-no with cheesecake.
I strongly recommend a lower heat, longer cooking time in a bain Marie. The cooking strategy in this recipe may very well be a professional one - it calls for less than half the cooking time of most recipes I've seen, but boy a whole lot can go wrong. 'Nother thing - don't use a dark springform pan with the temps involved in this recipe and especially since no bain Marie is called for. Just use a plain bright aluminum pan. I'd also recommend buttering the pan, which this recipe did not mention.
Here is some information on cornstarch substitutes. Cheers!
We used a 9" springform pan for this recipe, so make sure the sides of your pan are very tall or else a double recipe will run over the sides during baking. The first part of the cheesecake is cooked at 375 - you can lower the heat slightly (350ish) and bake the same way: until the center no longer jiggles when gently shaken. The second topping is baked at 450 - this you won't have to change. Good luck!
I wish that I had taken the time to read the comments -- especially those by Charles S. I did not mind that the cheesecake was thin. However, the recipe was too dry. I usually make smaller cheesecakes in my pressure cooker, which turn out tall and velvety smooth. This cheesecake was dry and crumbly. Each layer cracked in several places while still in the oven -- even though I confirmed my oven temperature with a thermometer. Once completely cool, I was able to smooth out the cracks in the top layer with a butter knife dipped in boiling hot water. The cheesecake was not very pretty, and so I decided to cover the entire top with a marion berry compote (the fruit currently in season in my region) and served it to my guests. With the touchup, this cake was passable. I would probably not choose to make this recipe again.
My cheesecakes are a family favorite but there always seems to be 'wet' spots in the crust. If there are any leftovers the crust is all wet by the third day. I've tries clarifying the butter, using less and using a bit more crumbs but still moisture is leaking through somehow. Any help please.
To ensure a very crisp crumb crust, you can prebake crumb crusts prior to filling them. Also make sure to pack the crumbs tightly. Due to the nature of cheesecake and its moisture content, it's normal for the crust to start to become soft by day 3. You can try brushing the crust with beaten egg white during the last few minutes of baking to seal the crust from the moisture but, again, it will only last so long. Best to eat the cheesecake sooner rather than later :-) Cheers!
I made this as a desert for a holiday party. Usually not a good idea to try something completely different for public consumption without practicing first. But the recipe is a good one and the advice was valuable. I got rave reviews.
I'd like to thank Charles S for his advice on mixing. I used my stand mixer on 1 or 2. I had no problems with cracking of either layer, despite using a 10" pan. With the 10" pan the bottom layer was done in just under 20 minutes. I also used less sugar, per his advice, only 3/8 cup for the cream cheese layer and the called for amounts in the other layers. I think I'll go with only 1/4 cup next time. I think Americans like things too sweet.
With the 10" pan it was more like a tort, thickness wise, than a cake. So I called it my dieters cheesecake, each slice has less calories that a usual cheesecake. Being thinner, for a given size of slice, it is a true statement.
I had a happy accident. I was wondering why I had two bottles of vanilla extract, until I tasted the result. I had used almond extract instead and the result was wonderful.
Since berries are out of season, unless you want to spend $8/lb I used a bag of frozen strawberries and a bag of frozen mixed berries. I used the strawberries to make the sauce and strained it after cooking. This preserved most of the flavor and yielded a nice clear sauce, almost like a glaze. Once the thawed and drained mixed berries were folded in it made a very colorful addition.
One interesting note, I used local free range chicken eggs. The yolks were a very deep yellow which resulted in the cake taking on a much richer yellow color than the photos in the recipe. It made a nice contrast to the brown of the crust and the white of the sour cream layer.
All in all it was a great success, although I may look around for 8" or 9" pan for next time. Thanks Rouxbe for making me look great!

Cellar/Tasting Notes Somewhat seductive, like the wine maker himself, this is a charming, rich, focused and delightful white. The wine has a fresh backbone of acidity, clean flavors, and an excellent balance. A most refreshing white burgundy and one that is great value.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Bright notes of green apple and citrus oil seem to pop from the glass. Nice minerality and acidity lead to a lingering creamy finish. From shellfish to grilled chicken or just as a great sipper before dinner, drink now and for the next 5 years.

Toyota charity puts boots on the ground in Detroit
Automaker donates footwear, cash to local charity ahead of Detroit auto show
For the second year in a row, Toyota has chosen to celebrate the opening of the Detroit auto show with a philanthropic gesture.
In order to help homeless women and children in the Detroit area, Toyota's "Walk in my Boots" community project will partner with Moosejaw, a Michigan-based outdoor retailer, to donate new boots to residents of The Salvation Army Denby Center for Children and Family Services in Detroit.
Toyota will also be providing a luncheon buffet for the residents when they deliver the boots and donating $10,000 to the facility to help with operations' costs.
According to Toyota, 95,000 Michigan residents were homeless in 2011 and 14,000 of those were children under the age of 11.

Good value

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Laminet Chair Seat Protector Vinyl Chair Seat Cover:
The ties were difficult to use, and it shifts a bit too much to use without a booster to help hold it in place. However, good value and good chair protection for toddlers still using a booster.

Just OK
By Messy Eater
from Illinois
It will protect your chair if it stays on. We have a three year old who moves around a lot in her chair. The only straps that it has is on the back. I ended up using packing tape to secure it to the chair. The product needs straps/ties in the front or sides to help secure it.
Looks better in the photo.
By Michelle
from Ashburn, VA
If you have the time to shape the plastic to your chair this might work for you. I thought it was too difficult and was looking for something that would tie around the chair legs. You will have to be creative to make it work.
It works
By VisionO
from Charleston, SC
It works! Keeps all the spills off the chair seat. The only thing that could make the product better would be the way the vinyl attaches to the back of the chair. Could tear if child pulls the vinyl tie. So far so good. I would purchase again.
Was not happy
By ChrisMac
from Seattle WA
This product did not stay well on the chair and is hard to tie on. It is now just basically sitting on the chair top and moves around. I could of just cut a piece of plastic myself to fit on chair.
Good for under a booster seat
By Lori
from Elkhart, IN
Works perfectly under a booster seat to protect a fabric chair. Fits chair appropriately though does slide out of position occasionally. I would not use it to sit on directly, or even have my older child sit on to protect her chair - it would be uncomfortable, stick to her and not stay in place. But works great under a booster seat!
Good in theory
By jlha
from lawton, OK
This was a great idea in theory. I tried it out on a chair that we don't regularly use first and my son would fling it on the floor when he climbed in the chair. Tried it for a week with the same result. The plastic is quite thick and sturdy - surprisingly so. However this was part of why I didn't really like it, the ends didn't lay flat on the sides. I thought about cutting them to fit better but I am going to return them and just use a towel instead because the back of the chair would not be protected with this - just the seat so we are in the same predicament. Not to mention my son won't sit on it!
Great idea not for all chairs

About Me High-end Shopper
I think this cover might fit on most chairs, but isn't quite big enough to fit our arm-chair dining chairs from Ethan Allan. Need to find something else down the road. But should suffice for the average armless regular sized chair.

The seat protector is perfect to protect my kitchen chair from the numerous spills by my lil' guy. It is easy to apply, but slides around easily. It is easy to wipe clean. It serves the purpose & protects my cushions.
Nice in theory better off making ur own
By Mumof2
from San Diego, ca
Bulky, ties are all plastic and cheap, hard to tie without jeopardizing ripping the plastic. Though you could cut the bulky fabric, it could ruin it so not going to try. Wrinkles up when sat on. Should have more ties than just on the back to adhere to chairs. Would not recommend- better off figuring out an alternative solution on your own for probably less money.

By Mommy to 2 boys
from Kansas
About Me Budget Shopper
My son has the cooshee booster seat. We recently got a new dining room set. The chairs are completely wood-no upholstered seats. The cooshee booster seat was leaving a kind of 'residue' on top of the seat and I couldn't get it off. I looked all over for seat covers and decided to try these. They're doing a fairly good job, but I wish the offered two kinds, one like this for upholstery and one that had some kind of fabric on the back so that it 'gripped' the seat. On my chair, it has a tendency to slide around.

Backpacker 3/06 Alpinist 2P Tent
Best Buy
When you want a shelter that can stand up to mountain weather yet won't weigh you down, pack this sub-5-pound single-wall. After a winter traverse of New Hampshire's Presidential Range and a spring climb of California's Mt. Shasta (see the full review, 2/05), our testers reported that the tent withstood strong winds and drifting snow, thanks to two crossed poles that thread through sleeves, a short bridge pole over the door, well-placed guyouts, and reinforcing straps connecting pole ends to stake loops. It collected no condensation on a calm, 20 degree F night with the door closed, thanks to three vents and Marmot's waterproof/breathable MemBrain fabric. Good headroom and 88 inches of length made the Alpinist livable through a 15-hour storm. And the price is low for the category.
Backcountry 3/09 Alpinist 2P Tent
Alpine Accoutrements
Elegant and orange, Marmot's Alpinist is a great choice for burgeoning alpine climbers or swarthy mountaineers. Single-walled, seam-sealed, and weatherproof, the Alpinist is light (under five pounds), durable, and – with three Dac poles – easily set up in just a couple minutes, even in nasty weather. An attached vestibule is spacious, and a teardrop window lets you check conditions from your sleeping bag. The Alpinist also has two vents below the ceiling that offer adequate cross ventilation, and two baffled pouches hang from high for storing personal affects. Best of all, the 30 sq. foot floor is big enough that you and your partner aren't living all over each other. – Jeff Burke

Could you please tell me which diameter DAC NSL poles are in this tent? Thanks
on 5/2/10.
The DAC poles are 9mm (measure with a straight ruler, so I might be off by +/- 0.5mm).
on 3/25/10.
I love this tent! I have had this tent for two years and do not have one negative comment. Ultra light and bomb proof. This tent holds up to high winds of 50-60mph and sets up easy. Vents great, minimal condensation.
on 5/3/10.
Is this 4 season tent too much (heavy, warm ect) if one wanted to also summer camp? My plan is the occasional winter weekend but also some summer camping.
on 5/17/10.
Marmot offers some perfect lightweights for a reasonable price.
Construction is very robust regarding structure, poles and textile material.
A single wall isn't a clever idea for the summer. The membrain won't work without a considerable temperature difference so the tent will get hot from people inside sweating. For summer, the Limelight 2P is a perfect choice unless you go for bivy straight away.
The Limelight will also work in Winter and shed considerable snow load. This one is better suited for stormy glaciers in a winter gale unless you're using the high Alaskas terminology regarding your idea of summer and winter camping ;)
on 5/5/10.
2P or not 2P...
That is the question...
I say go ahead, get this tent. 1.2 min. up time.
Technically it is right up there design and function with the top single wall, ascent 2p/4 season tents from MH and Bib. I prefer it due to the fact it has somewhat of a vestibule though no cooking area. (heck most of the time the winds blowing too hard to dare cook under a the tent anyway.) You will find it easy to put up solo in the wind. an ultralight watertight bag and separating the poles (with velcro straps) makes this highly packable for sub 65l packs and solo ascents its great (I even take it cycling and winter kayaking overnights). The single wall material is top notch (MemBrain®), stays dry and the hangers look a bit custom compared to biner style clips but appear to take a load... have not broken any yet, though I carry a biner with matched dia. just in case.
Snow sheds well, and due to ventilation config. is not affected in light to moderate snowfall even when dug in to slope (stays dry on mt. side). Cut-Stake-Clip is easy, packs in the tent before raisin it.
Also, my kids and I took it up their first subalpine adventure (theyre 7 & 11) and we all slept in this tent with 3 packs. Rain apart the condensation was minimal, and it is well guided by the contour. (*ie for accumulation if you lay it out ahead of time your bag stays dry. The kids like the viewing window and the semi mesh door allows for greater breathability and more open feel.

i have this tend sice 2 years and i used mostly for motorbike tur
this sommer i had the opportunity to have a trip in USA i did the most beutiful national parks ( monument, gran canion,bryce....) and we always slept in the Alpinist 2P tend, later we had also a week in Sardinia always with our alpinist 2P tend
i can really say that this tend fullfill all our needs :
isolation , no umidity, ventilation, easy to set up ( we were always the first in the group ready) , warm (gran canyn was raining and cold)
please marmot make also a 3P tend in the same construction !!!!! my dog is tired to slep outside!!
on 10/16/10.
After careful review of 2 person 4 season tents on the market, I purchased this tent and love it so far!
The design is well thought out and there is definite attention to details. Similar tents from competitors use internal poles whose installation exposes the inside of the tent during heavy rain. This tent can be easily be pitched in any weather. Plus: the seams are pre-sealed and the two vents below the tent apex are well protected by a small "roof".
Integrated vestibule reduces exposure to elements. Competitors offer optional vestibules, therefore underestimate both the real price and weight of their tents. At 5 lbs 8 oz, this tent is very light. Not in the "ultralight" range, but stability in high winds requires more material and less mesh. Carbon poles have not yet been proven to be good 4 season candidates.
PS: Little suggestion, Marmot may pre-cut the guy lines rather than provide 25 feet of 5 mm rope.
on 1/14/11.
would I roast if i used this tent on 70 degree F nights and below?
on 2/5/11.
Bomber tent. Anyone looking for a single wall four season tent, look no further, this is your tent. Wonderfully apointed with easy to reach storage for your head lamp, tooth brush or kleenex. The vents are easy to get to even during the night and easy to open while wearing a light glove. We are both five foot ten and about one hundred and eighty pounds and had plenty of interior space to play chess or cards.The vestibule is a little bit small for me and my climbing partner's winter packs, but proved ample when we manuvered our stuff around. The breathability of the Assault MemBrain fabric is second to none; its as if the fabric has a "brain" of it's own knowing when and how to "breathe"...no condinsation while used this past week in back to back New York snowstorms, fourthy plus mile per hour winds and temps in the low teens during the day and zero to five below at night. Over three feet of the white stuff fell on our campsite and the Alpinst P2 handled it fantastically. The tent fabric, DAC Feartherlite poles and craftsmanship is straight up Marmot.....first class! The kneewall design is a great idea, helps add elbow room. The external clip system makes for a two minute set up time even in a New York snow storm.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A BOY: On Monday afternoon, a very serious accident happened to a boy in West Strand, Whitehaven, where the recent extension of the Preston Street tramway has been effected.
A little boy, son of Mr McHall, blacksmith, residing in Littledale Lane, Quay Street, was amusing himself along with others, when a goods train in motion upon the shipping line of rails knocked him down. He was at once taken up, when it was found that he had received serious injuries to his legs. He was removed to the Infirmary, where his leg was amputated.

MOOR ROW BAND OF HOPE: The members of this useful institution were out on parade on Monday, and made a good show in the streets. Mustering in good force at the Infant School they were piloted through the village with the customary display of flags, and marched to Cleator to have a look at the gardens of Messrs Ainsworth and Lindow. The Moor Row Brass Band accompanied them and played the necessary selections.
Mr Hartley's field was open to them on their return, and they partook of a good tea.

GOOD NEWS FOR MILLOM: After working part time for over 18 months the Millom ironworkers are likely to be put on full time this week. The third furnace has been lit, and the blast is to be put on today. This will be good news to all engaged at the ironworks, as most of the employees have been on short time for an extended period. Stocks are low and there is every prospect of good times, provided the labour unrest comes to an end at an early date.

WILDLIFE GROWING TRAFFIC WISE: I am pleased to note that the red squirrel is on the increase, several being noted regularly in the Irton district, about Eskdale and in the Calder Valley.
Squirrels as well as stoats and weasels seem to be growing traffic wise, for I have more than once seen these little people of the wild turn back when starting to cross a high road at the sound of a motor horn.

SCREES ARE A CLASSIC: The famous Wasdale Screes are to be made a Site of Special Scientific Interest in their own right.
Since 1979 the screes have been included with Wastwater as one special site.
But both sites are now registered as of such value that the Nature Conservancy Council has proposed to separate them and redraw the boundaries.
The screes are described by the council as "a classic geomorphological locality for one of the best and most famous examples of screes in Britain".

CME Group Inc., formerly Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings Inc., is the world's largest futures and options exchange operator. The company offers futures and options on futures based on interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agricultural commodities, metals, and alternative investment products, such as weather and real estate.
In addition to the Chicago Merc, CME owns the Chicago Board of Trade and the New York Mercantile Exchange. The company recently received regulatory approval for a swaps clearinghouse. The credit-default-swaps platform is a joint venture with Citadel Investment Group LLC called CMDX. CME plans to launch so-called fear gauge volatility contracts in crude oil, corn, soybeans and gold under a license deal with the Chicago Board Options Exchange Inc.

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) is a personality disorder characterized by excessive perfectionism and a need for control over one's environment. People with OCPD tend to be reliable and orderly, but also inflexible and unable to surrender control. This makes it hard for people with this condition to express their feelings, have close relationships, and enjoy their successes.
Unlike many other mental health disorders, people with personality disorders are not aware that their thought and behavior patterns are inappropriate. OCPD is different from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) , and it is not associated with the unwanted repetitive thoughts and behaviors characteristic of OCD.
It is not clear what causes personality disorders, but it is likely a combination of genetic (inherited) factors and a person's environment.
Risk Factors
These factors increase your chance of developing OCPD. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
- Family history of OCPD or OCD
- Background of harsh discipline
- Being the oldest child
- Gender: male
- Age: early adulthood
Symptoms include:
- Perfectionism
- Rigidity
- Being stingy with money
- Overattention to detail
- Excessive devotion to work
- Inability to discard worn or useless items
- Extreme morality
- Inability to delegate tasks or share
- Stiff, formal, and/or rigid mannerisms
- Extreme preciseness and/or punctuality
You will likely be referred to a psychiatrist or therapist, who will ask you about your symptoms and mental and medical health history. A diagnosis will be made after a complete psychiatric assessment that rules out other disorders, such as OCD, and other personality disorders.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Counseling that includes psychotherapy or cognitive behavior therapy can help people with OCPD learn to have fun, avoid over-intellectualizing, and address control issues.
In some cases, anti-depressant medications can help reduce obsessive-compulsive personality traits. However, overall, long-term use of medications for OCPD have not been helpful. They may be used, though, to treat an another condition, like depression .
