Guess Who's Coming to Slackfast?
The via negativa, or "slackfast," is mainly for seasoned Raccoons who are tough enough to withstand a complete submersion into anti-slack in order to gain a deeper appreciation of their everyday slack. In other religions it goes by the name of "renunciation," or "self-denial," or "penitence," etc.
I won't go into to all the details, but flying across the country with an extremely spirited and easily bored four year-old boy is the type of thing that qualifies for a solemn slackfast.
But then miss your flight. Then wait around in the airport for the next flight out. Then miss your connecting flight in Atlanta because the engine of the plane blew up and had to be rebuilt. Add the fact that Mrs. G. had some sort of viral infection and I was trying to manage my diabetes in unfamiliar and unpredictable circumstances, which is always an adventure (this morning my blood sugar was by far the highest it's been in five years).
Then go to visit your in-law's house in Sarasota, which is about as child-friendly as the Louvre, except with no security guards to stop your monkeyboy from doing a cartwheel into some priceless object or taking his "light saver" (saber) to an original painting hanging over the bed he's jumping on. And you don't want to go outside to tire him out, because it's like a freaking sauna out there. No, you really can't imagine, unless you've ever tried to guard Michael Jordan one-on-one while playing basketball in a china shop.
Of course I love my in-laws, but to enter their world is to enter the world of 100% Orthodox Jewish Atheist Manhattan New York Times FDR-saved-us liberal religiosity. The occasion was their 50th wedding anniversary, with half a century of friends gathered from all over the country. Nevertheless, no matter the number, I am always Marilyn Munster. Since my conversation partner is inevitably like one of those medieval Europeans who hated Jews despite (or because of!) never having actually encountered one, there is always a certain surprise that 1) I am there, but 2) that I don't have horns. It's like a meet-and-greet with all of our trolls.
So what did I learn over the weekend? Mainly all the things I already knew -- all of the axiomatic truths that are the basis of liberal thought, not arrived at through thought: that the Supreme Court stole the election of 2000, that Bush lied us into war, that the world now hates us because of Bush, that we are only in the middle east because we are jingoistic and/or want to steal the oil, that we are destroying the planet, that vaccinations cause untold harm to children, that affirmative action does not involve racial quotas, that only conservatives say nasty things about liberals but never vice versa, that the New York Times is an objective and credible source of information, that Obama is brilliant, that putting murderers to death is immoral, that Keynesian economics actually works (and is working right now -- didn't you see those guys working on the highway on the way from the airport?).
But those were only the main themes. I also learned some more nuanced things, for example, that our food supply is completely poisonous, that morality somehow transcends God (rendering him unnecessary), and that for the first half century AD there was a pitched battle between Christian and Greek religion, and that today we could all very easily be worshipping Zeus and Neptune. Just like Sponge Bob, come to think of it.
What else... the sacred right to kill your fetus is right there in the Constitution, plain as day (this from a lawyer, no less)... That all of the expertise in the world somehow ended up at the New York Times (or perhaps in the government) and cannot possibly be distributed among independent bloggers.
At any rate, the exercise worked. When I finally got home, I kissed the floor of the slackatoreum, and here I am, hoping that this coffee will dissipate the jet lag.
Oh yes. While on the plane, I did manage to read Thomas Sowell's indispensable Vision of the Anointed. Pure. Light. Period. (More Light in today's column.)
Can you imagine what a better world this would be if liberal racists had dubbed Sowell their King of Negroes instead of Al Sharpton? But that is obviously an impossibility, for doing so would make white liberals unnecessary for the compassionate care and feeding of their helpless mascots and political lawn jockeys. The purpose of liberal racism is not to help blacks, but to help white liberals feel morally superior.
By the way, the next time I'm in Sarasota, I'm thinking of inviting local readers over to the house. I would even waive the standard $1.50 fee for personal appearances ($1.75 for children under 60) if you could manage to lavish a bit of cult-like devotion upon me in the presence of my in-laws. No, you don't have to scrape and grovel. None of that. Just a little starry-eyed devotion. A breathless request to sign your copy. Could I make Petey appear? Etc. Oh, and please leave your guns at home, and don't dress like a Nazi. Just this once.
Under the present circumstances, is it possible to plunge back into the proofs of God? We shall see.
I did periodically check out some of my usual internet haunts in order to touch base with spiritual equilibrium and sanity. In the sidebar over at American Digest there was a link to a wistful observation by Sherlock Holmes, who is speaking to Watson:
"I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window here. Was ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the duncoloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?"
That's a little bit how I am left feeling when I am plunged into the slackfast of the purely secular world. Schuon says something similar: "Modern men want to conquer space, but the least of contemplative states, or the least of intellections bearing on metaphysical realities, carries us to the heights from which the nebula of Andromeda appears scarcely more than a terrestrial accident." You know the old Buddhist gag: "the more one travels, the less one really knows."
So very true. One is tempted to say, "no s*it, Sherlock," but that would be vulgar. Plus, it is by no means obvious to the rank-and-foul who compulsively travel precisely as an antidote to their slackless lives. But the effect is always temporary, and lasts only as long as the illusion of surface novelty. I am always reminded of the wise words of Beavis: you can't run away from your bunghole. But do they even teach Beavis & Butthead anymore in our postmodern schools?
It's amazing how disparate strands can be woven together in the intellect, and only in the intellect, for example Schuon and Sowell. For when Sowell talks about the "anointed," he's referring to the nihilocracy of the left, which simultaneously condemns us to, and then presumes to rescue us from, its own dreary and visionless vision of reality. For the secular left, there is no meaning except for the meaning they will impose upon you through the medium of the state. The "promethean minds" of the anointed
"believe themselves capable of 'self-creation,' all within the framework of an existence that is absurd, but no one notices -- and this is typical -- the absurdity of admitting the appearance within an absurd world of a being regarded as capable of noticing the absurdity" (Schuon).
No matter. Dear Leader will ride to the rescue and inject our children with the politics of meaning and the meaning of politics: study hard to stop the fiction of global warming. Cure AIDS so that sodomites may resume doing what they do. Help the president defeat the bitter clingers who bitterly cling to the primitive idea that the state is not our Massa' and that the cosmic center is in the individual, not the collective.

|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Upper Deschutes Steelhead Report
I can say the Moss hole has been kicking out fish like crazy. A week ago Saturday morning 7 hookups with 4 coming to the bank. Sunday only lead to a couple three good bumps, Sunday saw two come to the beach. I think PGE was playing with the flow that my have messed things a little.
RE:Upper Deschutes Steelhead Report
Hmmm.... if you ask me, she's preparing you for a huge reward! Every painful dry spell of mine has been followed by an surge of good fortune, every high ride on my horse has been followed by a dose of reality.
The way I see it... you're DUE!
Nice report,
Upper Deschutes Steelhead Report
After having such poor fishing on the lower river (Macks to Moody) and after hearing about how good the fishing was in the upper river (Warm Springs to Harpam Flat), I decided to try my luck on a three-day float in the middle of last week.
Conditions seemed perfect: the weather was steady, clear and cool, the river was in great shape, and people were catching fish throughout the run. Somehow, though, the steelhead must have gotten word that I was coming, because we had really tough fishing for all of the three days, except for a couple of all-too-brief flurries in the evening.
Floating between Warm Springs and Trout Creek, we saw zero steelhead caught, and pressure was light. The long drift on the Indian side just above Trout Creek, always productive, yielded nothing, as did reliable holds above and below Trout Creek Rapid. We didn't hit fish until South Junction, where we picked up two in short order. Since we were camping at Whiskey Dick and it was getting late (ie, it was dark), we rowed right by some good water at Kaskella and upper Whiskey Dick. Checking around with others in the WD neighborhood, we learned that a couple of fish had been caught during the day on nymphs (#14 pheasant tails fished below a #4 Stonefly Nymph).
The next day saw nothing other than a batch of trout, with the only two steelhead coming minutes apart in the late afternoon. I was lucky enough to hook these, both on an Ackroyd. The second fish swallowed the fly, and I had to cut it off to release the fish. Too bad, as this was my lucky fly and I got no more hits for the balance of the trip.
The final morning, someone may have had one on, but the knot pulled loose so we don't know if it was a steelhead, redside, whitefish or over-eager coarse-scale sucker. Bottom line was that the fishing sucked, although it was a pleasant time to be on the river.
Think I'll go to Alaska next week. The Deschutes seems to have taken a hearty dislike to my presence.
Petri heil,

GLORY 12 Impression from Press Row
- Written by R. Choi
It seems as though 2013 has been the Year of the Underdog for Glory. With the exception of Tyrone Spong, none of the current champions entered their respective tournaments as the favorite, but rather as the third or fourth seed. Perhaps it is fitting, considering that kickboxing as a sport is also still a bit of an underdog in the United States when compared to boxing and MMA. However, one of the best things about sports, and combat sports in particular, is a spectacular upset, and last night's Glory 12 show was an inspiration and triumph for underdogs everywhere. Anyone watching could not deny the caliber of fighters or complain about the finish rate - no less than eleven of the sixteen bouts ended by (T)KO, and no grumbling or controversies surrounded the existing decisions. It was a fantastic night and one that will hopefully continue to strengthen awareness of the American kickboxing community.
Saturday night's Lightweight tournament winner Andy Ristie showed the world that he didn't give a damn about no rankings by knocking out number one ranked Giorgio Petrosyan, and then Robin van Roosmalen. Both men seemed to have some difficulty dealing with Ristie's aggressive and unorthodox style. The "Machine" applied relentless pressure, and didn't allow the top two favorites to rest or figure it out.
In the main event, despite having far less experience, New York's own Wayne Barrett won a Unanimous Decision after an intense battle with the favorite and recent Glory Middleweight tournament winner, Joe Schilling. Barrett let everyone know that Petrosyan wasn't the only doctor in the house. If you can't stop crazy, then call Barrett the psychiatrist, who visibly rocked Schilling with punches and knocked him down for two eight counts in Round 2. Schilling came back hard in Round 3 and returned the favor by feeding Barrett a vicious knee that put him down briefly, but Barrett managed to stand back up and they fought to the bell. Both fighters showed incredible heart.
- Other notable moments included:
- Brian "the Lion" Colette added another first round knockout win at Madison Square Garden to his record, somehow managing to land a right head kick from the scrum that laid out his opponent, Warren Thompson.
- Saulo Cavalari knocks out veteran Mourad Bouzidi with a nasty right hook just one minute and 23 seconds in the first round, extending his 16 KO record to 17.
- Francois Ambang uses great hand combinations to set up a nasty low kick that cut off the leg of his opponent, Eddie Walker, giving him the win by TKO in round 3.
- Robin van Roosmalen versus Davit Kiria in the semi-final was a treat to watch. Two extremely tough, technical strikers not willing to give up an inch to the other stood in the center of the ring and banged it out. Kiria faded in rounds 2 and 3, but still a very exciting 'dialogue' between the two.

I'd love to have heard the elevator pitch for the BBC series Call the Midwife. "It's a mid-20th century Downton Abbey with poor people and nuns." "It's Upstairs, Downstairs with afterbirth." "It's an all-female MASH on bicycles." Really, who would sit down for an hour's relaxation and turn on a drama of nonstop labor pains? The blood, the screaming, the ewww….
Having been the person who conveniently got sick for every high school biology dissection and barely made it through the obligatory birth film in prenatal class, I was sure this was one high-quality public television series that I could happily skip.
I was wrong.

He was Nova Scotia-born air traffic controller, with a Scottish name and Latino likeness.
Thirty-two years ago, Jack MacDuff skippered Newfoundland to its first and only Canadian men's curling championship, and today is No. 7 on The Telegram's list of this province's greatest teams.
Curling wasn't exactly what you'd call an "it" sport back in the 1970s, but rather a "country club" sport, where it wasn't uncommon to see competitors flinging hack weight with a smoke hanging from their lips.
He was Nova Scotia-born air traffic controller, with a Scottish name and Latino likeness.
Thirty-two years ago, Jack MacDuff skippered Newfoundland to its first and only Canadian men's curling championship, and today is No. 7 on The Telegram's list of this province's greatest teams.
Curling wasn't exactly what you'd call an "it" sport back in the 1970s, but rather a "country club" sport, where it wasn't uncommon to see competitors flinging hack weight with a smoke hanging from their lips.
Still, the stunning Brier win by MacDuff (dubbed "Chico" by the mainland media for his uncanny likeness to Freddie Prinze, star of the hit TV series "Chico and the Man") - along with Toby McDonald, Doug Hudson and Ken Templeton, sent an entire province into a curling frenzy, surpassed only by Brad Gushue's Olympic Trials victory and subsequent gold medal in the 2006 Torino Games.
MacDuff arrived in Newfoundland in 1970, and it didn't take long for him to establish himself on the local curling scene, winning an Atlantic intercollegiate title with Fred Durant's Memorial University rink that season.
Two years later, MacDuff and Durant - along with Bob Rowe and Carl Strong - represented Newfoundland in the Brier held at Memorial Stadium, going 3-7.
In 1976, MacDuff hooked up with McDonald, Hudson and Templeton to form a youthful foursome, one that averaged the age of 26 at the Brier, one of the youngest teams in the national field.
The team from the St. John's Curling Club wasn't even expected to make it out of the provincial championship in Stephenville. Instead, pundits were predicting former provincial champs George MacCharles, Lester Bowering or Fred Wight would emerge on top.
But MacDuff and Co. sailed through the 16-team, double knockout series undefeated, punching their ticket to Regina, Sask., and the Brier with a win over Wight in the final game.
Newfoundland teams had begun play in the Brier in 1951, but none had ever won more than four games.
Still, that didn't seem to faze MacDuff, McDonald, Hudson and Templeton. Call it youthful enthusiasm. Or naivetÉ.
"I was sort of embarrassed at first to say we were the best rink to ever come out of Newfoundland," MacDuff said after winning it all. "But what the heck, I felt we really were."
With wins over Manitoba and Nova Scotia mid-week, MacDuff - wearing golf shoes, sans the spikes - McDonald, Hudson and Templeton became the first Newfoundland team to win five games, losing only two.
"People are surprised when Newfoundland wins," MacDuff said, "but they shouldn't be anymore."
The best curler around the Newfoundland team in 1976, however, might have been their volunteer driver, Sam Richardson. Richardson was the second on Ernie Richardson's Saskatchewan curling dynasty in the 1950s and '60s.
On their drives throughout Regina, Richardson had become an unofficial coach/consultant for the Newfound-landers.
"In the kind and sweet manner that Sam had," McDonald related to the Edmonton Journal a few years ago, "everyone laughing and all the rest, he convinced us that perhaps we needed to be celibate for the week, to not sleep with our wives, but sleep with each other.
"And while MacDuff was a nice guy, I wasn't about to cuddle up to him too much.
"But seriously, by the time we got to the hotel, we were bunking together because that's the way the Richardsons did it and theirs was the recipe for success as far as we were concerned."
As the weekend neared, the Newfoundlanders were leading the Brier pack at 7-2.
With the host province out of it at 3-7, MacDuff, McDonald, Hudson and Templeton had become the sentimental favourites in Regina. Interest was also building in Newfoundland, and the curlers were receiving hundreds of telegrams and phone calls from home.
One message came from Premier Frank Moores, who told the skip: "A lot of people don't know a thing about curling, but they're going crazy anyway."
With their second-last game in the 12-team round-robin, Newfoundland dispatched the Northwest Territories 9-1 to make it five wins in a row.
All that was left was Ontario's Joe Gurowka.
Ontario led 3-2 after seven ends, but MacDuff got two in the eighth, stole one on the ninth and three more in to the 10th for the improbable victory.
Templeton and Hudson were flawless on the front end, while McDonald was, according to a CP report, "making double takeouts look simple."
And MacDuff was the all-star skip.
"There's no way," he said, "any of us played over our heads."
The next day, the curlers touched down at Torbay Airport and were greeted by hundreds of cheering fans, including Moores and St. John's Mayor Dorothy Wyatt.
"This is a Cinderella story unheard of," said St. John's Curling Club president Bob Cole.
A day later, with most businesses and government offices closed because of St. Patrick's Day, thousands lined St. John's streets for an 800-car motorcade honouring the Brier champs.
MacDuff, McDonald, Hudson and Templeton represented Canada at the world championship - the Air Canada Silver Broom - later that month in Duluth, Minn., but finished a disappointing ninth at 2-7.
But it didn't erase memories of the week that was in mid-March, 1976.
The object: To select the 10 best teams Newfoundland and Labrador has produced. Six prominent individuals with an impressive sports background, together with Robin Short, Brendan McCarthy, John Browne and Kenn Oliver of The Telegram's sports department, were chosen to make the selections.

Published Sept. 27, 2012Learn more about the WTE
Changes to the Washburn Transformational Experience will bring new opportunities to explore America to students and faculty at Washburn University.
Faculty members soon will be able to create classes or independent study programs centered around a transformational experience within the United States. Beginning Oct. 1, faculty will be able to apply to the Scholarly/Creative WTE for approval. The first of the classes could be offered in Spring 2013.
Mike Russell, director of the Scholarly/Creative WTE, said he hope to see opportunities ranging from trips to Broadway and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to visiting Civil War battle fields or the route taken from Selma to Montgomery, Ala. in 1965.
Each of those faculty-created experiences would include coursework on campus and be awarded academic credit. Students will be eligible for WTE-specific scholarships to help defray the costs, as they are for the International WTE.
Other changes to the WTE program will provide more scholarship money to students participating in the International Education opportunity if they visit certain countries, including those in Africa, South America and most of Asia.
The Washburn Transformational Experience encourages students to go beyond their comfort zone in one of four areas: community service, leadership, international study and scholarly or creative activity. The WTE began with the 2005-06 academic year. A student may complete as many WTE projects he or she wishes but it is no longer required.
"It's the dream program," Russell said of the WTE. "We all have a dream. Maybe it's a dream they've actually put down on paper. The WTE is a way to make that dream come true."

I am curious if anyone lives somewhere where the local government is actually trying to not spend so much money?
Even here in my little town they can't stop talking about wanting to build a water park (Lord help us), a new city office building, and addition to schools (when enrollment is declining). Do any of them realize that all of this falls on the backs of tax payers that are already hurting.
My town submitted a proposal for the stimulus package to build a waterpark that the voters have voted against three times. They were declined. However they have now tried new tactics to flip the voters the bird and build anyway.
Please tell me somewhere someone is cutting back.

I have a guy that works for me that races pigeons and feeds pigeon pellets
in a 50lb bag for $18.00. I will get a bag next week at the feed store where I buy dog food.
All my birds are bridge birds, I have not thought about meds for them, do I need vacs?
I have noticed some birds are bigger and more aggresive, I think they are males.
My guy tells me they need 3 weeks or so to start pairing, right now they are from 2 bridges so they might know
each other. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a few pieces of 14 x 14 inch tempered glass that I have started to silicone together to form a cube, the front panel and the top panel are going to acrylic so that I can drill holes for intake and output. My plan was to mount this chamber above my tank in the canopy and install my 3 300 watt heaters. I used an online calculator to figure out that this cube will hold a max of 11.88 us gallons. I plan on building an overflow type of outlet from 3/4" PVC and let it dump back into the top of the tank. I am going to be using a large pond canister filter equipped with 13 watts of UV and I built an inline DIY Phosban reactor of 4" PVC with 3'4" in/out that I am filling with activated charcoal, just a redundancy. The canister is going to be plumbed with 3/4" PVC pipe and hose and I am going to be running 2 x 726 GPH pumps to feed the filter. I was wondering if this "heater chamber is an OK idea or if I should just build a small aquarium out it instead, lol. Thanks for your insight! I am very new to the hobby (2 years) and completely inexperienced at this innovation stuff.
I've never heard of someone doing something quite like that before. Sort of like putting your heaters in the sump but above the tank rather than below it. I don't know how feasible the whole idea is - but one thing that caught my eye is that you're planning to silicone acrylic to glass. That is generally not recommended - they don't hold together very well. I have a ~2 gallon acrylic "tank" inside a glass terrarium I use for frog, and it holds water but it was a huge pain getting it together and I had to reinforce it from the outside. With your setup, I would be very worried about the seam between glass and acrylic failing, which would drain the chamber and fry your heaters.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids
125 gallon office tank: Africian cichlids, synodontis catfih
75 gallon community tank: bolivian rams, black skirt tetras, dwarf neon rainbowfish, corys, harlequin rasboras, otos, bristlenose and bulldog plecos, assassin snails, various shrimp
60 gallon goldfish tank: fancy goldfish
+1 to the above
I would suggest all glass. I would also like to make a few suggestions. I would suggest all glass for the construction. Drilling glass is not that hard to do and the below link will help explain it. I would also suggest using a larger pipe. a 3/4 inch gravity fed drain line will give about 400 gph. As you have three 300 wat heaters, I am guessing you have a larger set-up which would need a lot of flow going past the heaters in order to heat a large volumn of water.
You may also want to double check to make sure your canopy and tank can support the ~120 lbs of additional weight on top
I'm not trying to talk you out of this in the least
I would be interested to see this developIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Thank you for the quick reply, Cliff an Brhino. You said enough to quell that notion! I am not about to blow out an 11 gallon mess over my 150 gallon tank, lol. I may not entirely give up on this idea, however. I might just buy some non-tempered glass for the top and face panels. You have given me an important piece of knowledge about the flow rate of 3/4" gravity fed. I clearly need to learn a lot about pipe and flow! I built the stand and canopy for this aquarium myself, using 2x4 framing and sheeted with 3/4 x 8 inch pine. This thing will hold up a pick up truck. The canopy is a bit lighter in construction but the wood that sits on the tank rim is 2x4 as well. This "sump-ish" box would rest on 3/4 x 8" pine cross bars a couple inches above the tank itself and be concealed by the canopy ( 18" wide x 72" long x 18" high. The rim of the tank would be bearing the brunt of the weight. The other thing is this: I am going to be running 2 x 726 GPH inline pumps to feed a UV pond filter, they will be run in parallel , so to speak, as opposed to in series and they are going to be run through a WYE fitting into a common pipe to the filter canister. I planned on using 3/4" pipe and hoses but I don't know if this setup is going to create enough GPH for proper filtration. I guess what I'm asking is if this is going to be too restrictive? Please forgive my NOOBish ignorance.
Your idea can certainly work. First I would calculate the flow going into the box. You have to take the flow rate of the pump going into the box and subtract the reduction in flow caused by the hight of the line and any elbows or other fittings. I would suggest aiming for around 5 to 6 times flow, 750 to 900 gph flow through the box itself. Then you can size a good gravity feed drain. I would suggest drilling the bottom and use a 1.5 inch duriso stand pipe for some extra capasity should you want more flow later on. The below links explain a little more about aquarium plumbing basics
And heres the link on how to drill tanks that I forgot to post earlier

if the "overhead sump" is out of sight, you could easily use a properly sized plastic tote or plastic flowerbox. one con to this method instead of a regular sump would be alot less added water volume.your friendly neighbourhood arowanaman!
Being overhead and based on an overflow type of drain- is it safe to say that the extra water will be held back in case of a power outage as long as I figure the cut off level for the overflow and keep the display low enough to contain the overflow amount? The extra water volume is the only thing that kinda freaks me out being overhead. I would like to figure out how much volume I need in the overhead to heat enough water to warm the display. Is their a way to calculate the additional volume? Now that I have a few folks input on here I am all the more interested in the development of this heating chamber idea. There wont be anything else in it except the heaters. I wish I could figure out how to post pics on here I would show you guys where I'm at with the display so far and where I intend on placing the heat sump. is there an image size limit that is preventing me from posting them? On second thought let's not derail the thread- maybe a PM would be better to discuss the images.
I would think the water turn over rate would be a lot more important than the actual size of the container. After all, in most sumps on larger sized tanks, the compartment that holds the heaters is typically around the size of a 5 to 10 gallon tank.
If you use a gravity feed drain thought the bottom of the compartment, the height of the drain line will determine the minimum water volume in the compartment should you have a power failure. The drain back will not be impactfull (or even noticeable) when done right. Did you get a chance to look through the links I provided in my last post ?
Make sure your pics are no larger than 800 X 800 pixels in size and you should be able to up-load them just fine.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I had a chance to look at the first link, excellent source of knowledge. I thank you for the links. time to start doing some homework!
a few pics of the setup I'm working with, so far.In the upper canopy is where I was looking to put the heater box, you can get an idea of what I was talking about as far as space is concerned. I am redoing the inlet and return lines with larger PVC.

Is there a list of the things that Lance took and could I buy it at GNC as a cancer recovery kit?
Well when it was reported that Sir Lance a shot, patch, cream, or pill might have opened up the possiblility of renewed criminal charges I was so happy. I was hoping he would share a cell with Bubba or Tyrone for a few years. Turns out ol Lance once again has proved smarter than the rest of us........statute of limitations has run out.
Of course not our Bubba. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Beeswax is wax taken from the honeycomb of bees. Beeswax poisoning occurs when someone swallows beeswax.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Beeswax is considered nonpoisonous, but it may cause a blockage in the intestines if a large amount is swallowed.
Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Symptoms will be treated as appropriate.
A laxative may be given to move the wax quickly through the gastrointestinal tract and prevent bowel blockage.
You may not need to be seen in the emergency room.
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received.
Since beeswax is considered relatively nontoxic, recovery is very likely.

Miran Fabjan vs. Paul Daley at FFC 12 This Friday
- Written by Dave Walsh
On Friday Final Fight Championships 12 (FFC 12) will go down in Slovenia. The main event of the evening features recently-signed by K-1 fighter Paul "Semtex" Daley against Miran Fabjan. There were heated words from Daley and Fabjan at each other in the lead up to the event at the official press conference.
"Of course, I watch footage of all my opponents and I was kind of familiar with Miran because he fought one of the guys I fought earlier this year... Alexander Stetsurenko, something like that. Tough Russian guy. Doesn't matter what his name was 'cuz je got knocked out in thirty seconds", said Daley.
"They call him (Miran Fabjan) the Slovenian Rocky. Rocky is a movie. This is reality. Friday you gonna see what will happen. Friday is reality! No film! No Adrian! Rocky, this ain't a film! This is reality and you will find that out! Trust me. Slovenian Rocky in not a good name to have. Rocky always get f*** up.", Paul Said.
Miran replied: "He said he doesn't mind taking punches, but I saw the video. He's a really good fighter in attacking mode, but when you get punched in the face, you don't like it! I saw it! When you hit me, I do not care!"
Paul added: "He (Miran) could not beat any of the guys I spar with! You're not even better than my sparring partners! You're not even better than my students! How about that?! You're no better than my students! You're gonna look like an amateur Friday!"

Makeup artist Pat McGrath was inspired by smoldering '70s icons Marella Agnelli, Talitha Getty, and Gloria Vanderbilt when she created this look at Gucci, which she describes as "maximal minimalism." Because the eyes were so lush and impactful, McGrath kept the rest of the face fresh and neutral.
To anchor the lashes, McGrath rimmed the eyes with CoverGirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner in Brown Blaze ($7), a deep chestnut, then swept the soft sable CoverGirl Intense ShadowBlast in Brown Bling ($8) across the lid and along the bottom lashline.

Evaluation of Structural Control Strategies for Improving Seismic Performance of Buildings with MR Dampers Using Real-Time Large-Scale Hybrid Simulation
Published on
During the past decade numerous researchers have investigated the dynamic behavior of structures with magnetorheological (MR) dampers using various semiactive control laws. A majority of the conclusions focused on the superiority of semiactive controllers over passive control. Large-scale MR dampers have not been studied extensively in conjunction with semi-active control laws since only a few experiments have been conducted with large-scale dampers. The assessment of semiactive controllers however needs to be verified more rigorously by using large-scale MR dampers. In this paper, real-time hybrid simulations using large-scale MR dampers are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of various structural control strategies in enabling the seismic performance objectives of a building structure to be achieved. A prototype structure of a 3-story building is designed in accordance with the ICC code to satisfy the strength requirement, and an MR damper is installed to control the drift of the structure. Three different control strategies are considered: (1) passive control; (2) linear quadratic regulator (semi-active control); and (3) sliding mode control (semi-active control). Six ground motions scaled to the same design basis earthquake are used for the real-time hybrid simulations and statistical

Governments demand enhanced efficiency and effectiveness from the Armed Forces. However, ongoing deployments put a premium on operations support, improving budget performance, and strengthening projection of forces.
Forces strive to improve the tooth-to-tail ratio—diverting spending from back office support functions to military systems and front-line troops. Nevertheless, all services struggle with a patchwork of IT logistics support systems and applications that are difficult to integrate and interoperate. Systems exist in silos that hide inefficiencies and limit visibility into end-to-end supply chains. Worse, legacy systems and networks are vulnerable to cyber-attacks that threaten to disrupt operations.
Improved technology performance is required.

Nice report Mags. Basically the first report I've seen of that area. I knew it had to be special in some way because Ryan had lots of pictures of the Uintas in his book and early BPL articles. I figured it must be a nice place if someone would leave Montana to go hike down there.Sep 7, 2013 at 8:52 pm #2022838

Don't complain if it's crowded next time, Mr. Mags ;)
Good thing you had some options along your route.Sep 7, 2013 at 8:58 pm #2022842
"Don't complain if it's crowded next time, Mr. Mags ;)"
Haha Ken that jokes kinda on me. The great thing about this area is its far from Colorado, Yellowstone and Yosemite and it does not have wolves or grizzlies. So I imagine it will always be off the beaten path no matter how many trip reports bloggers do.Sep 7, 2013 at 9:00 pm #2022843
Ha! I smell toast. ;)
Being serious, I'd be very surprised it if gets crowded. Too far off the beaten path for most peak baggers and most CO Front Rangers and the logistics are rather difficult in terms of shuttling. No easy loops, either.
re: Good thing you had some options along your route.
All three of us are very experienced outdoors people so luckily we know how to read a map. :) Between the three of us, we figured we could have stretched out our food an additional two days if need be (7 days vs 5).
Another plan was hiking back to Chepeta Damn if crap really hit the fan.
A last ditch plan was for Andy to hike out, take the car, buy food and then hike back in as Mark cut down to 10 MPD.
Overall Mark could have hiked out if need be. Luckily! :)
But, there are usually options for prepared outdoors people…eh? ;)Sep 7, 2013 at 9:20 pm #2022850
Seriously though, I don't mind sharing some places, even most places. Partly because most places I go aren't super secret. Normally there are already guide books and articles discussing them so I'm not really adding anything new beyond my own personal story.
I've got a guide to Grayson highlands coming up at some point (yes that one is my fault Ken). I gave enough people advice on where to go I finally decided if I kept posting maps and pictures I might as well be organized and make an article about it.Sep 7, 2013 at 9:43 pm #2022860
Actually, Ken is aiming that at me. :)
On a recent trip to the Indian Peaks, I noticed at an unusually high amount of backpackers on a favorite loop of mine.
Mind you, it is a loop that is very obvious if you look at a map and can piece together trails. But most people, esp if starting out, rather have an A-B-C-D-E approach to their hiking with the steps laid out nicely.
So here we are in the IPW. I am kvetching to d-low about all the people back here vs previous summers.
D-low being d-low, decided to have some fun/put my annoying kvetching to rest.
We asked 4 groups how they found about this loop.
Three of the four said my website. :O
And apparently a local outdoor group we encountered also used my website for info.
I ate a lot of crow that weekend. And still do. ;) Our latest trailshow podcast had some fun with that one. Let-me-tell-you!
Apparently more people read my little website than I thought. :OSep 7, 2013 at 9:49 pm #2022863

Julia R. Wooster
Stoughton- Julia R. (Monteros) Wooster, age 82, Stoughton, WI, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 16th, 2013 at the UW Hospital in Madison, WI.
Julia was born August 26, 1930, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, daughter of the late Daniel Alberto Monteros and Mercedes del Carmen Santillan. There she met and married her first husband Sergio Nascimbeni and had their first child, a son, Aldo. They moved to Rorai Piccolo, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. Their 2nd child, Mariah arrived 12 years later, which prompted a move to Chicago, IL. Shortly thereafter they were divorced. While in Chicago those early years she worked on the factory line at Zenith Television Company and various other homecare jobs to make ends meet. Julia met her future husband, Charles C. Wooster, as his housekeeper in Skokie, IL. They fell in love conversing over a Spanish/English dictionary. Together they enjoyed a wonderful 12 years of marriage before her beloved passed away. Her love for him and the memories they shared remained strong and close to her heart through her final days. She was a devoted Catholic, avid knitter and an accomplished cook. She loved the Opera and to dance, specifically the Argentine Tango. She loved to travel and has had resided in Argentina, Italy, Chicago, IL, Fort Lauderdale, FL and Stoughton, WI. She was fluent in Spanish, Italian and English. Her genuine warmth and nurturing nature made her a wonderful nanny to children and caregiver to the elderly. She touched many lives and made many friendships through all her travels, relocations and caregiver positions. She knew many adversities in her life, perhaps most significantly her long struggle with difficult complications from diabetes. However, she always proved herself more resilient and courageous than she or anyone thought. Her tenacity and will to be present and contribute something of her life to this world was strong. She will always be remembered for her generosity of heart and capacity to love, her strength and courage, and her immense love for her family, who will miss her greatly and where she will always remain their sweet Mama and Abuelita.
Julia is survived by two children, Aldo D. Nascimbeni (Cleris) of Fort Lauderdale, FL and Mariah Wooster-Lehman (Asaph) of Stoughton, WI; one sister Matilde Marckwardt of Bartlett, IL; five grandchildren, Sergio Nascimbeni (Kristi) of Travis Air Force Base, CA, Adriana Nascimbeni (Billy Gante) of Boca Raton, FL, Andre Nascimbeni of Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Owen and Julia Lehman of Stoughton, WI; two great-grandchildren, Annabelle and Allessandro Nascimbeni of Travis Air Force Base, CA and Anthony and Gabriella Gante of Boca Raton, FL.; two nieces, Alyce Spychalski (Joseph) of Bartlett, IL and Vilma Monteros-Eddy (Larry) of Seminole, FL; two great nieces Suzanne Anzalone (Frank) of Palatine IL, and Justine Eddy of Seminole (FL) and great-nephew Daniel Spychalski of Bartlett, IL. She also had a wonderful step-family whom she loved dearly that include but are not limited to grandsons Charles and James Shea and son-in-law Richard Shea of Skokie, IL. The Lehman family members; Jocelyn, Charles, Rachel, Ben, Naomi, Sebastian and Asaph.
Julia was preceded in death by her husband, Charles C. Wooster, her brothers Roque, Juan and Daniel Monteros, and by her loving step daughters Mary Lehman, Sarah Staessens and Ruth Shea. We would like to thank Care Wisconsin, Skaalen Physical Therapy, Oregon Manor and especially Alice Laurant her physical therapist for all that you do and the care and love you bestowed on her throughout the years.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Office of the Blind and Visually Impaired, who offer education, advocacy and the tools to the visually impaired to enjoy a better quality of life. Donations may also be made to Care Wisconsin an elder care organization that assist seniors in managing their medical needs and to maintain a safe independent quality of life. Both of these non-profit organizations made a big impact on Julia and made life so much easier for her. The family appreciates all that they have done thru the many years. We would also like to thank staff at UW Hospital IMC and Palliative Care Units for keeping her comfortable in her final days as well as their general care, concern and support.

The New York Times (NYT) this afternoon said it has reinstated its dividend at 4 cents per share per quarter, payable on October 24th to holders of record as of October 9th.
The annual 16-cent dividend would give the stock a 1.4% yield on today's closing price of $11.54.
Times CEO Mark Thompson remarked that "The Board concluded that the strength of our balance sheet justified the restoration of a dividend."
"Given the expectation of continued volatility in advertising revenue and the fact that our growth strategy is at an early stage of development, we will maintain a prudent view of both the balance sheet and free cash flow."
Chairman Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. remarked "We are pleased to announce the initiation of this quarterly dividend, which will allow us to return capital to our shareholders while maintaining the financial flexibility necessary to continue to invest in the company's transformation and various growth initiatives."
It is the first time the company has paid a dividend since December 1st of 2008, when the dividend was 6 cents, having been cut from 23 cents per quarter prior to that, just before the board formally suspended the dividend on Feburary 19th, 2009.
The Times dividend history is on its investor relations Web site.

Time Warner (TWX) stock is up more than 1% this morning to $56 after the company said last night that it will spin off its entire publishing division.
Following the proposed transaction, Time Inc. would be an independent, publicly traded company. Time Warner aims to complete the proposed transaction by the end of the calendar year.
Time Warner Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Bewkes said: "After a thorough review of options, we believe that a separation will better position both Time Warner and Time Inc. A complete spin-off of Time Inc. provides strategic clarity for Time Warner Inc., enabling us to focus entirely on our television networks and film and TV production businesses, and improves our growth profile. Time Inc. will also benefit from the flexibility and focus of being a stand-alone public company and will now be able to attract a more natural stockholder base. As we saw with the prior spin-offs of Time Warner Cable and AOL, we expect the separation will create additional value for our stockholders."
Say this for Bewkes, he's certainly not the egotistical empire-building CEO that we've seen so much of in recent decades.
The spin-off makes sense, much as News Corp.'s (NWSA) move to cleave its publishing division does: The money for these media companies is in movies and television, and print is (sadly) only holding them back.
Despite the fact the move makes sense for Time Warner, Tony Wibble at Janney Capital Markets sees obstacles ahead:
While today's move will help support the stock's run up to a 52 week high, we believe there are far bigger factors facing TWX. We see the looming upfront and the 2014 affiliate fee renewal cycle as much more significant given that the Networks division accounts for 50% or revenue and 75% of operation income. Growth in TWX's core operating income (measured before corporate or eliminations) will increase to 6.5% and 8.8% in 2013 and 2014 from the 5.9% and 8.3% levels today. We essentially see only about a 50 to 60 bps lift in growth from today's move; however, the move would keep any future earnings pressure from publishing at bay.
He has a Neutral rating on Time Warner, with a fair value estimate of $59 a share.
James Dix at Wedbush Securities was more bullish in his note this morning, reiterating his Outperform rating and $60 price target.
A key to our investment thesis has been the attractive valuation of the pay TV networks and TV studio businesses, which the split will only make clearer. T he proposed transaction is also consistent with other pending transactions by the diversified media companies to monetize assets and/or create more pure-play operations.
Meanwhile, shares of Meredith (MDP), which had been in talks with Time Warner to acquire most of the publishing division's titles, are down 7.5%. Media reports suggested that a deal with Meredith would see Time Warner hold on to a number of titles, including Fortune, Time and Sports Illustrated. It seems Bewkes decided instead to wash his hands of the whole thing.

According to the 2003 California Health Interview Survey, 9.6 percent of children aged 0 to 5 years have been diagnosed with asthma. Children in this age group experience the highest rates of hospitalizations and emergency department visits for asthma. While much of this and other asthma-related morbidity is preventable, many of these children do not benefit from appropriate asthma education, management, and prevention practices.
In 2000, the Department of Health Services received funding from First 5 California to establish a statewide asthma project (funded through June 30, 2005). The goals of the Childhood Asthma Initiative (CAI) are to decrease asthma morbidity and to improve the quality of life for children aged 0 to 5 years with asthma and their families. These goals have been accomplished by improving the delivery, quality, and coordination of preventive, educational, and medical care services directed toward childhood asthma.
CAI supported community asthma intervention projects, asthma treatment services for uninsured and underinsured children, provider education about quality asthma care, and an assessment of childcare facilities concerning practices and policies that impact children with asthma. DHS partners in the CAI included the Chronic Disease Control, Environmental Health Investigation, and Children's Medical Services Branches.
Eight California communities received funding for community asthma intervention projects that supported community asthma coalitions, clinical asthma quality improvement activities, and the use of trained asthma coordinators to provide patient/family education, self-management training, and home asthma trigger assessment.
Community Asthma Intervention local project partners include:
Two additional locally funded CAI projects are coordinated by:
State funded local support has concluded, however many CAI community projects remain active and Community Asthma Intervention program summaries, resources, and materials will remain accessible on this site.

Jessica Simpson revealed on the Ellen DeGeneres Show that she doesn't brush her teeth everyday. No shit.
"Because my teeth are so white and I don't like them to feel too slippery but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday," she said. "But I don't brush them every day."
Jessica also said she wipes her teeth with her shirt all the time, that's her alternative to brushing. She added, "I know it's gross but I always have fresh breath. It's really weird but I have great breath."
RIGHT. And elephants can fly, Jessica. Well, I guess we've finally discovered why Jessica's boyfriends still dump her even though she's a sexual napalm.

Does anyone use or recommend the bottles of bird scent for training? If so what brands would you use and which ones to avoid?
Does anyone use or recommend the bottles of bird scent for training? If so what brands would you use and which ones to avoid?
Waste of money IMHO
Save your money! Feathers are what you need. They will work at scenting bumpers, a fall area or simulating drag back. If you are not using ducks for marks occasionally then I would get some. When they are no longer usable, pluck the ducks & save the feathers in plastic bags. Use them as you would the bottled scent.
Mark Land
Not needed, but don't hurt I guess. I have not used them in 20 years or more however I learned one very important lesson. Never let a full bottle spill in the family SUV. The smell never comes out and the wife will be most unhappy and make you buy her a new car.

I am not a fan of plastic bumpers so I make a small elastic band for my bumpers and put bird scent on them. The dogs love it. It would be nice to train with birds every single day, but sometimes it isn't practical. The bird scent does work. I have also used it when training for NAHRA where they have tracking, etc. along with some bird feathers.
I don't think even the wings are necessary. You train with bumpers and you train with birds. Dogs love to retrieve both and have no problem picking up the scent of both.
Bert Rodgers
Dr. Ed can jump in here but dogs can pick up literally hundreds of types of scent. I forget the exact number. They have no problem smelling bumpers.

I tried it years ago. Like others said the dogs can smell the bumpers. I have put a duck in with the bumpers before but not sure if the scent sticks to the bumper or not.

The way I read it, he said that he was trying to get the dog to secondary select on the shorter bird after the go bird. The dog always wanted to go long for the second. After it'd get the long bird second it would want to go longer still for the third. Other methods were tried and failed. He then decided to let the dog go long second then try for the short third. When the dog failed he just let it go and hunt all over the field, as long as it didn't go back to an old fall or come home without a bird. Once the dog learned about the short bird, it (the dog) would let him select for the short bird second.
I read somewhere about a big name Pro saying that he felt that the dogs he had that really understood about check down birds got that bird third. I think he meant that they always got it third. I don't remember him saying that once they had learned he could select the short one second.

"If you run Field Trials, you learn to swallow your disappointment quickly."
"Field trials are not a game for good dogs. They're for great dogs with great training." E. Graham
To me, teaching a dog how to check down consitently is one of the hardest things in retriever training. I gained a lot from Dennis Voight's On-line article about 12-15 years ago, but it still is a hard thing.
Starting with an excelent marker makes it much easier. My first dog was a good, not excellent marker, he was a hard charger, very fast and liked to run long. It took years of having him run right over the bird, only to be stopped without pressure, and easy calm voice and handled to the bird with praise before he got it. On the other hand I have had dogs who naturally checked down but didn't have a lot of punch for those long birds, and I have had excellent markers who remembered on their own where the birds were, long or short.
As to secondary selection, one of my excelent markers hated to be forced to pick up the short retired second, yet he was able to run long and pin the long retired then come back and pin the short retired last. We finally quit fighting him on it in a trial, and let him do it the way he wanted. That's when he started to win.

I guess I read Bobby's article and saw not a particular response to a particular problem, but rather an expression of the need to be open minded when training, and not locked into any particular regime or solution

I thought it to be a good article, but apparently a little deep for some. I've seen that approach used over the years on various issues on some very good dogs, in many cases but not all, with success.
What I got from the article: Read your dog, practice patience when the dog is making an effort, do not reward bad behavior, & sometimes it turns out well . If you recognize your dog has the quality to play at the Bobby George level it's worth a try.

would all go to hell if judges had you run a blind tight to the backside of the short retired after picking up a go bird flyer. rut ro.. dog would sure be hunting all over the field then, anywhere but back in at the SR.

One of the many goals of the Physics Department is to make science fun and accessible to all. To further this end, the department sponsors a program that supports outreach activities. Our Physics Outreach Program (POP) volunteers visit local organizations, classrooms and schools and perform demonstrations. Recent activities have included:
- several visits to a local elementary school's 'after-school program';
- visits to campus from the Kopernik Observatory's Space Science Education participants; and
- visits to campus by a group of middle-school students to see fun demonstrations on National Lab Day in May 2010.
If you are interested in requesting an in-house demonstration (need two or three weeks notice) or inviting POP to your site, contact Mark Stephens at the address to the right.

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is dropping more than 3% as it reported third-quarter earnings of 86 cents on revenue of $27.2 billion.
Analysts were looking for earnings per share to fall to 86 cents on revenue of $27.28 billion.
The company also narrowed its full year earnings forecast to a range of $3.53 to $3.57 a share, from a previous estimate of $3.50 to $3.60 a share. The consensus is between $3.53 and $3.57 a share.
Of course the company's personal systems business was of interest investors, as the segment has been burned by the shift away from PCs: Revenue fell 11% to $7.7 billion, with a 3% operating margin. Commercial revenue decreased 3% and Consumer revenue declined 22%. Total units were down 8%, with Desktops units down 9% and Notebooks units down 14%.
Last quarter the division saw revenue fall 20% year-over-year to $7.6 billion.
Printing revenue declined 4%; Enterprise Group revenue declined 9%; Enterprise Services revenue declined 9%; Software revenue was up 1% .
The stock fell earlier in the day on leaked news of more management shakeups, which the company confirmed after the report: Bill Veghte, HP's chief operating officer, will become executive vice president and general manager of the HP Enterprise Group. This morning, BMO Capital Markets analyst Keith Bachman raised his target price by $6 to $30.
In May, shares leapt after HP's second-quarter EPS and full-year EPS guidance beat expectations, and it reported an increase in operating profit quarter-over-quarter.
Last quarter, CEO Meg Whitman said that the European economy remained challenging and that she saw signs of a slowdown in China; nonetheless she said that the company at a good shot at growth in 2014, despite headwinds.
Update: In the minutes after the release, the stock dropped as much as 5%, but then clawed back some ground; at 4:30 the shares were down 1.2%.

This is the letter you get if Massachusetts thinks your kid is too fat
Two lawmakers in Massachusetts are fighting to reverse a 2009 legislative initiative mandating body mass index (BMI) screenings in public schools in order to end the practice of "fat letters" being sent to the homes of overweight or obese children.
The BMI notification letters, which are sent to all families with children in the Massachusetts public school system, note that the measurement on the page "may not tell the whole story about your child's weight," as BMI "cannot tell the difference between muscle and fat." …
"I have come across many parents whose children are perfectly fit, healthy and active in sports, but muscular in build and are reporting that they've received letters stating their child is obese or at risk for obesity," Bridget Martin told North Andover Patch. "Some of these children laughed at these letters stating that they are obese because they know it is ridiculous, while others become upset, depressed and ashamed, even though they are far from obese."

Merchant says Rea was pronounced dead at the scene.
He says it appeared Rea ran off the road and suffered head trauma.
The accident is under investigation.
