DENVER The Bureau of Land Management is delaying the sale of natural-gas and oil leases in a crucial watershed for metro Denver.
The Denver Post reported that the BLM on Friday delayed the sale of six leases in South Park, citing water resources, state parks, and visual factors among concerns that need further analysis. The parcels were to be offered in February.
South Park is a 1,000-square-mile basin about 60 miles southwest of Denver that is home to the headwaters of the South Platte River that fills Chatfield Reservoir near Littleton. BLM officials say revisions to the overall resource-management plan could begin in the next year or two.

I came across a really interesting series of books on typefaces/lettering in two different places online recently and decided to investigate further. The four-volume series was called Lettera, A standard book of fine lettering, written or, perhaps more precisely, curated by Armin Haab (with Alex Stocker for volume 1 and with Walter Haettenschweiler for volumes 2, 3 and 4), and published in Switzerland by Arthur Niggli. (Arthur Niggli published and continues to publish great books on typography by Karl Gerstner, Gerard Unger, Adrian Frutiger, Armin Hofmann, Josef Müller-Brockmann and Jost Hochuli among others). The first volume is in its 9th edition, the first being in 1954. The books are a curious collection of examples of a wide range of typographic styles, with a heavy leaning towards lettering. Still, the mix of examples is hard to justify in the groupings that they are in. But, perhaps not having seen a copy in real life one shouldn't judge; and the individual examples are rather fascinating regardless of order or context.
As author of the project Armin Haab seems to be an interesting personality, but it is hard to trace his history. Perhaps someone can fill us in on his biography. There is an example of his photography online, as well as a book of ethnographic photographs of Bhutan, and a book on Mexican Graphic Art by him. Born in Baar, Switzerland on 28 of January in 1919, Armin studied photography in Switzerland in the 1940s and combined a job of a salesman in the family-run mill and of a photographer. He was a photo-reporter for Du Magazine from 1950 to 1957. Haab passed away on March 4, 1991 in Oberwil, Switzerland. Would love to find out more on how these books came about and more about Armin Haab.

China's current economic reorientation may mean weaker growth, but it also brings the possibility for longer-term stability and positive reforms, according to a JPMorgan portfolio manager.
"China's economy is undergoing a slowdown, but in terms of real GDP growth year over year, it's not going over a cliff," said Emerson Yip, the lead portfolio manager for JPMorgan China Region Fund (JFC), on a call with investors Thursday.
"China will sacrifice some headline growth in order to focus on deleveraging and reforms," Yip explained, since the country's leadership views "quality and sustainability as [its] overriding objectives."
Latest Figures
China's exports and imports unexpectedly rose in April, according to several news reports on Thursday. Overseas shipments increased 0.9% from a year earlier. Imports gained 0.8%, giving the county a trade surplus of about $18.5 billion.
The country's adjusted export growth improved to 6.7% in April from 3.5% in March. Exports to the U.S. rose 12%, according to Bloomberg data, while shipments to the European Union expanded 15.1% and to South Korea by 13.5%.
Still, economic growth is slowing down, as it has been since 2007. While the country's 10-year average GDP growth rate is 9.9%, GDP growth was 7.7% last year. It is expected to be 7.5% this year, JPMorgan analysts say.
"We say you want to look at slowing growth as a time to pick up winners," said Yip, "as a sustainable economic-growth pace is sought."
What's happening in the country's economy?
"China is transitioning from being the world's factory to being the world's consumer, with longer-term implications," Yip said during a question-and-answer period with investors. The country has been exporting deflation, he adds, and will eventually export inflation — "but that is years away."
"In the long term, China's rise should benefit everyone, including its reforms and sustainability objectives," the portfolio manager added.
Equity Results
The JP Morgan China Region Fund improved 12.6% last year vs. 5.1% for its benchmark (which consists of the MSCI Golden Dragon Index, 80%, and the China Securities Index 300, 20%).
In the first quarter of 2014, though, the fund is down 6.4% vs. a 4.7% decline in the benchmark. "There were meaningful challenges" in the most-recent period, Yip described.
In the first three months of the year, the S&P 500 improved about 1.8%, while the MSCI Taiwan Index rose 1.1%. The MSCI Hong Kong Index, however, fell 3.4%, and the MSCI China Index declined 5.9%.
The JPMorgan fund, which has about $105 million in assets, is invested about 60% in China, 20% in Hong Kong and 20% in Taiwan. Major holdings include Taiwan Semi, Tencent Holdings (a Chinese-based Internet company), China Construction Bank and AIA Group, a Hong Kong-based insurance firm.
Yip acknowledged that the jury "is still out" on its reform process, making it important for investors "to approach this [market] with a healthy deep dose of skepticism." Still, he added, China's economic and political team seems ready to tackle the tougher tasks on both fronts" of reform.
"If we judge China's leadership by the actions and words [focused on curbing] corruption and the other reforms that have been undertaken … in banking, currency markets and the brokerage space — and we see more to come — there signs of commitment and success that are strong in recent memory, dating back to the 1970s," he explained.
Consumers in greater China are expected to "stay resilient," says Yip, who notes that JPMorgan has an overweight stance on equities tied to Macau gaming, Chinese autos and China smartphones/Internet.
Demand for smartphones in the region should hit or exceed 400 million units this year, up from about 300 million last year. Auto demand totaled about 16 million vehicles in 2013, according to estimates, an increase from 14 million units in 2012.
Year-over-year growth rates for car sales, including SUVs, are put at 15% to 20%. Retail sales are growing at about 20% year over year, and are up from late 2013.
In addition, JPMorgan analysis shows that nearly 60 million tourists were projected to visit Hong Kong in 2013, the majority from China. The average rate of tourist visits to the island is growing about roughly 13% per year, while the growth of Chinese tourism is averaging 17% per annum.

Interesting. My thoughts on the matter actually gravitate towards the opposite end of the debate. I was looking at neat discussion on the subject just yesterday.
Here is the clip I found:

Geez this guy is a buffoon. More creationist nonsense in disguise. You have a great Halloween site try to stay with that. Just the opinion of an evolutionary biologist
- October 15, 2010 at 2:45 PM
- Rot said...
I try to keep an open mind with stuff like this. And it's funny because you sound like precisely the environment he discusses in the book.
And I often post items of this nature - alternative beliefs.
If my blog doesn't fit your interpretation of what a Halloween blog should be, you should probably go elsewhere.

I'm a Christian, and I personally think the idea of evolution is TRUE! Why would a god create science and then not use it?
Oh, and Halloweenfreak - leave Mr. Rot and his blog alone, and ease up a little!

An open but guarded mind, always.
I can sympathize with Halloweenfreak's strong reaction against this, just as I can sympathize with anyone who wants to give opposing viewpoints equal time. Personally, this kind of thing grates on me. There are a number of logical fallacies in video. That, unfortunately, very common in creationist circles, in my experience.
Still, even the most a staunch adherent to scientific method will agree that there is still a lot more to learn, generally speaking and on this specific topic. To that end, there's no harm in hearing what the other guy has to say as long as you arm yourself with the means to discern fact from fallacy.
My two cents.

By all means let's be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.

Rot I mean no offense. I have been a huge fan of your site, but as someone who has worked in the field of science for many years and from time to time has had to deal with people like this one in the video just strikes a nerve. they muddy the waters of science progress by pushing a hidden religious agenda. Research the Human genome project, some of the greatest scientific minds doing real work and don't allow it to be compromised by their beliefs.

The statement "To me that suggests that we have to go back to the traditional explanation that human beings were placed here by an intelligent designer..." underlines the fundamental flaw in his thinking.
That's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Yes there are anomalies in data. Yes there are questions that evolution hasn't answered. But saying that you have to throw out the whole idea and go back to a theory which is supported by no credible or at the very best extremely spurious evidence is a terrible way to advance science and thus society.
Science, unlike the religion that he feels is more credible, can itself evolve to incorporate and explain those facinating pieces of data that don't fit with the current theory.
And the statement that science ignores that which does not fit in with its theory is a complete and total falsehood. There are scientists who get attached to pet theories and they do have a hard time disconnecting themselves from the notion that they have taken a lifetime to prove. Kepler having to abandon his theory of a geometrically perfect universe is just such an example. But science moves on and increasingly delights in self contradiction. You show a physicist that what we recognize as the universal laws of physics don't operate as we imagine outside our own galaxy and it incites imagination, wonder and excitement rather than anger that the facts are once again contradicting their dogmatic views. You show that same information to the creationist/intelligent design proponent and you're likely to hear him or her say "That's it then! Physics is wrong!"
It's not wrong. The definition of it is being expanded. Because it is science.
I am very fond of watching debates on the subject and am totally open to the idea that one day a fact might surface that makes me re-evaluate everything I take for granted.
But his argument here is exactly the sort of baseless religious dogmatism that has been trying to invade schools and society and actively works to keep the margins of knowledge sufficiently wide so they can remain thickheadedly literal minded about a book of moral tales written more than a thousand years ago.
Sorry to go ranty here but the debate of religion versus science is one I feel very close to. I'm neither religious nor a scientist but those two sides seem to affect everyone's life in profound ways so I do my layman's best to follow both arguments.
And of course I could be wrong.
But please keep posting provocative material. Because awareness and debate on these issues is important.

I really think emotional replies are exactly what Cremo is talking about. To suggest dismissing the Design theory because of it having an agenda would then mean that Evolution should also be dismissed because of ITS agenda. I think for me the most interesting part of what he's saying is exactly what we saw right here - with sensitive topics which threaten belief systems, emotions get in the way and rigidity and hostility follow. Suggesting what I may or may not post on my blog is a very weak way of presenting your opinion. Jon and Sean presented their views without crossing that line.
- October 15, 2010 at 4:08 PM
- Rot said...
And although Cremo mentions the word "God" in this video, I should point out that his book is the most detailed, and often boring in its minutia, catalog of unpublicized but historically documented archeological finds I've ever come across. He spends almost no time during his exhaustive presentation discussing the God factor. So the impression that he's some God-loving Intelligent Design theorist isn't completely accurate.
- October 15, 2010 at 4:12 PM
- Halloweenfreak said...
Rot again let me apologize I surely did not mean to suggest what you should or should not post on your blog..hell its your blog. If my response seemed emotional its only driven by the dishonesty of people like him. I must ask though the I.D. agenda is quite obvious, what agenda do you think evolutionary theory has and the majority of earth and life scientists that support and understand it?
- October 15, 2010 at 4:19 PM
- Halloweenfreak said...
When cremo mentions God its not from my understanding the God that christians, muslims, etc. refer to. Cremo who also writes under the name Drutakarma Dasa, refers to himself as a Hindu Creationist, but not young earth he believes man has walked the planet for billions of years.
- October 15, 2010 at 4:33 PM
- Rot said...
I'd say that the Evolutionary agenda is all about the massive establishment that's been built around it. Like with every "Establishment," anti-views threaten its existence.
I really need to make clear that I am a guy reading this book and weighing it against a belief system which I have...one in evolution...but one which I've always questioned...like its requirement for a VERY compressed evolutionary timeline.
- October 15, 2010 at 4:36 PM
- NecroBones said...
I really have a problem with the "equal time" sort of approach to discussions of scientific models. It creates an illusion of fairness, and is not how science is conducted.
For instance, if 0.1% of the population believes that the earth is flat and that the sun orbits the earth, and then you give them equal time and equal consideration, all you do is falsely present a debate or controversy where there actually is none. When the scientific consensus and all available data very clearly refute the opinions of men like this, it's difficult to take them seriously.
There are gaps in the evolutionary model, of course, but most of it is extremely well understood and explainable.
Science isn't a debate between opposing arguments. It's a laborious process of observation, measurement, and experimentation, and when an explanation fails to fit the data, it's discarded... only to re-appear in youtube videos. :)
- October 15, 2010 at 4:37 PM
- Halloweenfreak said...
Rot if your acceptance of evolutionary theory is based upon belief then understanding may be difficult. It should be based upon the science, the vast amount of science which binds and makes sense of fields such as biology, germ theory, geology, etc. but I am not sure what very compressed time line you are refering to? If it is the Cambrian explosion for example that has been twisted dramatically by young earth creationist trying to push their views. What one has to also look at is the mass support among those in the fields of science that understand, present the evidence and utilize evolutionary theory. The idea they wee all are in this global mass conspiracy to dupe the human race.

What a minute....you mean to tell me we do not exist on the back of a giant turtle!? Dammit, now I got to change my entire thought of my existence....
I also enjoy listening to what others have to say about how we were created and how we evolved,on both sides of the so called argument, but to do this you MUST keep an open mind and keep your emotions at bay.
As Mr. Glassett said,"there is still a lot more to learn". Learning is how humanity evolves.
In my "OPINION", God put us here and we evolved from that point.

Haven't thought about it in years and just google'd it and it sounds pretty awesome.

And Halloweenfreak, has anyone ever accused you of being condescending? Or is that just how it's coming across in the asynchronous environment that is a blog comment section? I'm being honest, not attacking.
My "belief" in evolutionary theory, like most people, is based on what I was taught in school and what I've pursued in the years that followed. So, as with most beliefs, a person is really going with what is published and taught, since the bulk of us aren't directly employed in those fields. So there's a HUGE amount of trust in those publications. Cremo's book is so fascinating because he points out many cases in the past where mainstream-opposing archeological finds have been censored and removed from the historical playing field. THAT stuff fascinates me. The deceptive human element fascinates me.
So his book is primarily archeological in nature. So applying your logic, since you aren't an archeologist your understanding of this topic might be difficult. See where I'm going with this?

The same reason 911 Bigfoot calls and witnesses swearing they saw a ghost or a UFO is interesting and blog-worthy.

It's a form of escapism.
And it's VERY interesting to consider the possibility.
Why not feature something like this?

Yeah, I think this is such a controversial subject that it just lends itself too well to heated debate. If I could throw another two cents onto the table, it seems like the momentum we're seeing in this comment thread is largely because people are making assumptions about *why* this video was posted here.
Rot, I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, so edit this comment or don't post it or whatever if it suits you.
NecroBones expressed a distaste for the notion of giving equal time to creationism under the auspices of a discussion about scientific method. That's a clue as to what's unfolded here: people seem to under the impression that this website has been suddenly transformed into a forum for scientific (or pseudoscientific, if you prefer) discussion. I don't believe that is the intent. I don't believe Rot is posting this video as an assertion of his views challenging evolution, etc. In fact, he's really not doing anything he hasn't done before. The way I see it, this is intended as an interesting "what if" indulgence that carries no agenda along with it.
From my perspective, the only thing out of place here is the reaction. As long as I've been visiting here I've never seen anyone get so fired up over, for example, cryptozoology. Plenty of posts about--as Rot mentioned--bigfoot, the mothman, chupacabra, etc. None of THOSE subjects has ever approached scientific validity and yet everyone's more than happy to "go along for the ride" so to speak. Why stop now?
And for you scientific types: I GET that you feel it is your duty to stomp out pseudoscience and faulty logic wherever it lives. I understand that compulsion, truly. This isn't an attack on your principles. I just think we need to keep this particular instance in its proper perspective.
Looking forward to future posts about gay marriage, abortion and gun rights, Rot! ;)

I get where your coming from. Just because something is far-fetched doesn't mean it can't be intriguing.
When I first saw the post, I thought it was going to allude to the possibility that man evolved from an extraterrestrial source, like some DNA that hitchhiked on a meteor or something.

I completely get what "Jon Glassett" commented & I'm in agreement, but presenting any uber-creationist POV on an open blog right before a mid-term election in which creationism (along with a boatload of other wingnut crap) is figuring set some readers/commenters off. Set them off Big Time.
Well garsh, who woulda thunk?!?!?
Yeah, I know, I'm banned for voicing this opinion.
- October 16, 2010 at 3:33 PM
- Rot said...
I don't ever ban anyone. And I'm not shocked it set anyone off. And to once again reference the book, this is exactly what Cremo is getting at. That every field of research is influenced by people's beliefs and predispositions. To the point of censorship or ignoring the evidence or finding explanations around it. That goes for both sides of the argument - evolutionists and creationists. People muddy the water. And even cold clean science isn't safe from it.
And that's the whole point of the book, when things like "wingnut crap" are said to dismiss opposing views. And yet, if you were brought up in a home with a family and community which taught that wingnut crap, you'd be on THAT side of the fence.
And therein lies the problem.
And that's why I love reading books or watching television programs like this.

I saw an ad in a Christian magazine recently that said "we do the reading for you", implying that the editors will slog through the details on heavy issues and then will let readers know through their articles what is really going on, cutting out the "middle man" of having to think about it for yourself.
Chilling when anyone takes on that task, no matter which side of the discussion they are on.
Pumpkinrot, thanks for the original info and the comments - your responses were incredibly civil and insightful!
- October 17, 2010 at 11:03 AM
- NecroBones said...
Not to beat a dead horse, but my previous comment may have been misunderstood, so I just thought I'd clarify. I'm not suggesting that anyone's new ideas should simply be dismissed. Quite the contrary. Some of the most revolutionary discoveries in science were unpopular at first.
However, when a hypothesis is proposed, the burden of proof is on the one who makes the claim. In most of these sorts of fringe science concepts, they're on the fringe for good reason: They simply don't fit the available data, despite what they claim (usually basing their concepts on incomplete or incorrect information). Otherwise they'd be given more serious consideration.
The problem with the equal time scenario is that equal weight is given to people who really don't have any substance behind their claims, despite the initial appearance on the surface. Doing this does a disservice to everyone. It's important to remember that science isn't about differing beliefs, it's about the data, and finding objective truth about how nature works.
So yes, I agree that it's fun to give "what if" scenarios some thought, but I wouldn't put too much faith in them being correct. :)

Cape Coast
Cape Coast is a city in the Coastal Plain region of Ghana.
Get in[edit]
STC buses pull into the Goil Petrol Station (Pedu Junction), about 5km from the town centre. Buses from and to Accra (from Circle) (C5. 3hrs) and Takoradi (C3, 1hr) go twice a day. There is a daily bus to and from Kumasi (C5, 4hrs).
You can also take a trotro from Kaneshie Station in Accra to Cape Coast (8 GHC, as of June 2013) and Elmina (11 GHC, as of June 2013).
Get around[edit]
Taxi is the best way and is very cheap by Western standards. Especially shared taxis are very common in Cape Coast.
See[edit][add listing]
Do[edit][add listing]
Hang out on the beautiful beach under the Palm trees and watch the locals pulling in fishing nets and traditional boats.
Like most historic sites in Ghana, taking pictures is allowed in the Elmina Slave Castle so long as you pay a few pesewas (about 50 cents) at the front desk. The money you spend is well worth it.
Take a Global Mamas workshop on Batiking, Ghanaian Cuisine, or Drumming/Dancing, or Traditional Headwrapping. [3]
Take Drumming lesson at the Temptation Art&craft shop, from Ceasar. [4]
If there is a game when you're there, go see the Cape Coast Dwarfs play a soccer match in the stadium. Entrance fee is C3 and it's worth it! The level of play on the pitch may not meet European standards, but the enthusiasm of the fans surpasses those standards easily. Practically all spectators sing along in support of their team, encouraged by drums and other musical instruments. Do yourself a favour though: don't bring any valuables. There is always a risk of pick pocketing in large crowds and you will be feeling uncomfortable with a camera around your neck or your wallet showing through the bulge in your pocket. Do bring some petty cash though, as you probably will want to by some water after a while sitting in the burning sun. Also, little baggies with peanuts and other snacks are being sold by women (and some children...) walking up and down the stands. It can be great fun, although you could be intimidated by a hint of aggression that hangs in the air, but not like hardliners among the fans of some European or South American teams. Intriguing fact though: In the end of the match, the referee is escorted off the field.
Buy[edit][add listing]
Eli Emma, a seamstress on Aboom Wells Road, makes high quality tailored clothes. Prices are approximately GHC50,00 (U$10,00) for a shirt.
During the tour of the Elmina Slave Castle, they bring you to a bookstore within the castle filled with reasonably priced books on the castle itself, slavery, important black leaders, and even some books on Ghanaian culture (the Ghanaian cookbook is worth a look). If you need more time to browse, return to this bookstore after the tour.
Commercial Road has many great booths for small gifts-- one in particular has beautiful jewelery and beads. This, along with other stands along the road, offers better prices than the tourist stores in the Castle, and supports local economy. For fix and buy a Djambè, is at the Temptations art&craft shop, close at the vegetarian restaurant.[5]
Eat[edit][add listing]
The main street has many good eateries.
Cape Cafe on Commercial Road has great cheap food. With a friendly atmosphere, quick service, full bar, and a menu of both Western and Ghanaian food, it is a favorite of both tourists and locals.
Further along, just to the right of the fork in Commercial road (the crab monument), Ant's Rastafarian Health Food Store is a gem for vegetarians-- smoothies, veggie dishes, and even tofu are available there.
There is a restaurant inside the Elmina Slave Castle, but it's recommended that you eat elsewhere. The food is average, and you'll spend most of the meal swatting flies.
Walk in the alley way next to the right of Malcom. Then make your first right into the smaller alley. Then your first left past the fruit stand. And you will find a hidden local market. In here you'll find the best fou fou lady in town.
Drink[edit][add listing]
Excellent Outdoor Bar with traditional dancing and fire eating up the hill along the beach.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
Hostels/Guest Houses towards the beach are good quality and some have lovely roof bars also.
Get out[edit]
Tro-Tro's can be caught in front of the GOIL station (just West of Pedu Junction) along the main Accra-Takoradi Road.
Intercity STC buses can also be caught from the same GOIL station. The ticket office is on the second floor of the building just next to GOIL to the left. There are several departures to Accra and other locations daily. Intercity STC

The rules for placing gear for anchor stations, whether for lead or toprope situations are no different from those that apply to placing gear on lead, but the consequences of failure are usually more severe. Anchor stations must be bombproof and secure from any directional pull-down, out and up.
How you construct a station depends on the available cracks, the rack you have and the availability of fixed gear. The textbook belay has three or more separate, cam-and-nut-eating cracks, or three large bolts. Real-life anchors are seldom so convenient. Often, your anchor will consist of a bit of everything - a couple of nuts, a cam, and, on popular routes, a fixed pin or bolt - strung across the stance. To a large extent, the nature of the cracks and fixed gear will dictate what you can arrange, but you should still try to set the gear so each piece complements the other. Place a multi-directional cam, for example, to keep anchors, like nuts, from being pulled up and out. String everything together so it is equalized, that is, each piece bears an equal load.
Anchor Spacing
The horizontal distance between each of your anchor placements and the length of the slings you use to connect them are as important, if not more so, than the method you use to equalize the anchors. This is because as you spread anchors apart horizontally, they pull sharply against one another, lever style, multiplying the force instead of reducing it. The farther apart the anchors, the greater the potential load multiplication.
In any belay- or rappel-anchor situation, arrange the anchors so the angle formed by the slings at the master-connection point is less than 60 degrees. At this angle, the load on each equalized anchor is 58 percent. Increase that angle to 90 degrees, and the load on each anchor increases to 70 percent. Go up to 150 degrees, a realistic scenario when connecting anchors with short slings, and the load on each anchor can reach 200 percent!
The good news is that you can use slings to extend the anchors, keeping the angle formed between the slings at 60 degrees or less.
You have two kidneys for a reason: The organ is mission critical. If you only had one kidney and it conked out, the mission - your life - would end. Redundant systems keep the game going even when one component fails. Belays are mission critical: Double up all key components. Even the best equalized anchor is junk if you clip to the master point with just one carabiner, and that carabiner breaks (it has happened). Use two carabiners, ideally locking ones, to connect yourself to the master point. Likewise, double up all critical slings, and compound your anchor by placing three (or more) cams or nuts instead of two, and backing up fixed gear, pins and old bolts.
Sliding X
When you take a sling, give it a half-twist and clip through the twist you create the Sliding X, a common, simple and highly effective equalization method for two anchors that has the additional benefit of being the only system that readjusts itself when the angle of loading changes. Nevertheless, it is not recommended. The single sling is not redundant, and if either anchor point fails, the remaining piece is subject to a shock-load of up to two tons, depending on the distance between the two anchors.
Improved Sliding X
Tie an overhand loop in both sides of the sling or cord above the X , and you dramatically decrease the shock-load potential. The trade off: The closer you tie the overhand knots to the X, the more you reduce the system`s ability to equalize. Despite this limitation, the Improved X is good alternative when you are low on slings. It is also a good method for equalizing pro on lead, and equalizing two anchors that are in turn woven into a cordelette-rigged belay.
Piecing together an anchor by using a sundry of slings remains popular, and when used properly, sling anchors can equalize. The system is also redundant, works with an infinite number of anchors, and has a low risk of shock-loading.
For slings to equalize, their lengths must be precisely adjusted by adding slings to lengthen or tying overhand knots to shorten them. With all this guesswork and fiddling, you`ll seldom end up with a truly equalized anchor. One sling is nearly always a bit longer than the other, causing uneven loading. Even when you do get the anchor adjusted just right, the load is only equalized when it pulls straight down on the power point. If the load pulls off to either side, it will not be equalized. A final consideration is the fact that perlon and slings all stretch differently, resulting in potentially unequal anchor loading.
For simplicity, redundancy, ease of use and low-potential shock loading, the cordelette is the gold standard for equalizing anchors. Use a dedicated 9-foot loop of 7 or 8mm perlon (some companies make perlon just for cordelettes; other manufacturers offer cordelettes pre-made from webbing); clip each anchor into the loop, pull down the length of cordelette between each anchor, gather these to an equalized point, and tie them together with a figure-eight loop. The resulting loops formed by the figure-eight become the power-point. The crux to properly setting a cordelette is guessing the direction the anchor will be loaded. For instance, if you know the anchor will be loaded off to the left, tie the cordelette so the power point is off to the left. Since a cordelette only equalizes in one direction, you need to get this right. Guess wrong, and just one piece will bear the brunt of the load.
Properly rigged, the cordelette will equalize the anchors; should one point fail, shock-loading will be minimal. To further protect against an unanticipated off-center loading, place a directional anchor such as an upside-down slotted nut and clip this to the power-point loop.
Double Figure-Eight
When you arrive at a belay and don`t have a single sling or cordelette to construct your anchor, you can simply use your rope and the Double Figure-Eight to equalize two anchors. Although the knot is difficult to adjust such that the two anchors share the load exactly, the Double Figure-Eight, when you get it right, works well, and has a low shock-load risk. It does, however, eat up rope, especially when your anchors are spread far apart, and only works for two-point anchors. When you have three pieces in, and assuming you have a sling, you can clip the third anchor to one of the Double Figure-Eight`s loops, adjusting the sling to the appropriate equalized length.

I told you I'd be doing a little bit of virtual vacationing, so here is my first installment.
Almost a year ago, I went to Panama with my good friend Elvera. We stayed in Panama City for about half of our vacation, relying on the hospitality of my business school classmate, Joe, and his family, including his wife and son, and his parents. Everyone seemed happy to welcome two single girls to Panama, but more on that later.
The best part of my mornings was waking up early with little Jack and sneaking him out to the porch with a bottle to give his mom a few extra moments of sleep. We would lounge on the hammock lazily lapping up the few rays of sun slowly peeking out above the horizon.
After our early-morning nap, I was sometimes greeted by a glass of fruit juice. Not ordinary orange or grapefruit juice. No, this is Panama. One morning it was papaya juice, the next watermelon blended with ice and served in a frosty glass.
When Elvera and did venture out to Bocas del Toro, our AM breakfasts always included the same fruit salad – a mix of papaya, watermelon, and pineapple. And a lot of coffee. So, when I returned to my home, with neither hammock nor little Jackito nor the coordination to make a frosty fruit beverage, I recreated my tropical mornings with the same salad from Bocas.
Panama Fruit Salad
Choose the ripest papaya, watermelon, and pineapple you can find. Scoop seeds out of papaya and cut flesh into bite-sized chunks. Cut watermelon flesh into bite-sized chunks. Cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks (leaving out the stringy core). Add a few splashes of lime juice. Mix. Eat in the sunshine.

wow love it!! i entered all the giveaways i could find for this book and still didn't win a copy. really hoping that i'll get lucky this time!ReplyDelete
My favorite new book is Scrap Republic. Need to enter your giveaway for that!ReplyDelete
I recently bought the 'Sewn Toy Tales' from Melly and Me- there are so many babies coming all around me and this book is great to create last minute gifts out of minimal fabric. {LOVE} Thanks for the wonderful giveaway. I have had my eye on this book :DReplyDelete
Love your new book, thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
My favourite book at the moment is Quilting from little things by Sarah Fielke.
i'm really looking forward to the new modern minimal book from alissa haight carlton.ReplyDelete
Scrap Republic is my current covet... *sigh* So many books and quilts to make! So little time!ReplyDelete
I think I would have to say Scrap Republic, but I would be very happy with this one too!!ReplyDelete
Scrap Republic looks like a great one....and this one as well! Tho I have been able to flip through the Scrap Republic at a local quilt shop. I have not seen this one, tho. The cover is just eye candy!ReplyDelete
I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Block Party at my door. I am hoping it will give me more confidence in improvisational piecing.ReplyDelete
that book looks delicious & inspiring!!!ReplyDelete
Block Party!!!!ReplyDelete
GAH! THIS one is one of my favorites! I also would still love to get my hands on Elizabeth Hartman's book (I know, I'm a little behind the times...) and I am totally intrigued by Modern Mix.ReplyDelete
Deploy that Fabric looks good, but I really love a good ROY G BIV color scheme so Scrap Republic comes close. Fresh Fabric Treats isn't in my library either so that would be a welcome addition!ReplyDelete
I love looking at books and magazines for patterns and ideas! I don't know that I have a favorite...that so many out there and they're all great! Thanks for the give-aways :)ReplyDelete
I already bought Deploy that Fabric! It is awesome and can't wait to break out my Dad's old uniforms.ReplyDelete
There Are so many I can't pick just one!ReplyDelete
I would like the new Schnibbles book Another Bite of Schnibbles. LindaReplyDelete
I have never owned a quilting book before! Let's hope this week holds some promise to solve that issue.ReplyDelete
I would like the Scrap Republic book, because I love lots of colour and using as many fabrics as possible! ThankyouReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 16, 2011 at 11:43 PM
i don't have/own any quilting books yet. but i hope to win this one. thanks.ReplyDelete
Ooo - this book has been on my wish list for a while now... I'm also wanting to get my hands on Deploy That Fabric! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
I have to agree with a lot of others, Scrap Republic looks yummy.ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to the MBS book.ReplyDelete
My current favorite book is scrap basket suprize. It shows you how to use your scraps cut into 2.5" strips to make a varity of quilts. This book work well with jelly rolls too.ReplyDelete
There have been a few floating around on blogs lately that look good, specifically Scrap Republic and Modern Mix. I don't buy a lot of quilt books (mostly because my bookshelf is already full of them) but those two are possibilities for the Christmas list this year.ReplyDelete
I have to agree that Scrap Republic looks awesome! I'm hoping to win this copy of Fresh Fabric Treats :)ReplyDelete

I just bought "A Field Guide to Fabric Design" at PIQF (the big quilt festival in the SF Bay Area). I've always wanted to know how to design fabric - it seems like magic! I haven't yet had a chance to thumb through it but this week it's my reward after several errands and chores!ReplyDelete
Lalexander (at) 733@gmail (dot) com
I am still anxious to get my hands on Block Party... it's on my Xmas wish list so hopefully my husband will pick up a copy for me!ReplyDelete
jlwhite (at) sasktel (dot) net
Modern Mix looks great, but I would LOVE to win this one too!ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to Sewing ModKid Style by Patty Young ~ after all, I have three little girls to sew for :)ReplyDelete
I won a copy of Quilt Retro and am very excited to see it.ReplyDelete
Deploy that Fabric is one that I'm really itching to get my fingers on and start putting sticky notes on all the pages of stuff that I want to make (yeah, I'll have all the pages marked in no time). But Fresh Fabric Treats looks like a must-have addition to my quilting library too! So many books, so little time. I will have to live to be 125 to make all the quilts on my bucket list.ReplyDelete
Modern Mix is the one I want, really appeals to meReplyDelete
There are so many coming out in the next six months that I am looking forward to that I have a list going. I'd love to add this one to my library. They all provide inspiration in one form or another. Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
I think I'm looking forward to Deploy that Fabric the most. I think. I don't know, I'm looking forward to SO many books it's hard to say! Thanks for the giveaways!ReplyDelete
Scrap republic is my fav!ReplyDelete
Scrap Republic looks like a winner. It would be quite awesome to win this autographed beauty, though!ReplyDelete
Scrap Republic is one that catches my eye.ReplyDelete
Thanks for running all of these giveaways! I really want to get Block party but have to hold off as I know my guy has it ALREADY for me for Christmas (Scary organised man that he is!) My personal buy when it's in the UK will be Scrap Republic, if I don't win a copy! My sewing room needs me to buy that book so I can get to my sewing machine through all the piles of scraps :) Fresh Fabric Treats is in my Amazon wish list too though (I read almost as much as I sew) so fingers crossed for winning as I think 2 sewing books maybe too much for my man to cope with at Christmas!ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to Scrap republic (of course!) and the new Best of Quilting Arts - due out in December I think!ReplyDelete
I've been ogling Modern Mix by Jessica Levitt since it did its blog tour. I love moda bakeshop and a book signed by all those fabulous people would be amazing.ReplyDelete
I can't wait for Gretchen Hirsch's retro sewing book!ReplyDelete
I'd love to win this book. What a treasure to have on the bookshelf :-)ReplyDelete
I can't wait for Lisa Lam's next book about bags. She has fantastic patterns and so many tips and tricks in her first book (The Bag Making Bible) that I'm really curious about how she's going to top this.
I'm looking forward to getting of buying this book:ReplyDelete
Modern Blocks: 99 Quilt Blocks from Your Favorite Designers
It was on my birthday list and I still have one present coming to my: my best friend's been in hospital and said that afterwards she'd get THAT book for me.
It's not that I'm getting impatient or anything .....
My favourite book is The practical guide to patchwork. Just bought it and it's great and so usefulReplyDelete
With a son who just joined the Army, I think I'm most looking forward to getting a copy of Deploy that Fabric!ReplyDelete
Actually, this is this book I would like. I am a beginning quilter just finishing up a very colorful quilt for my granddaughter who will be 7, a couple of mug rugs (love them!) and a batik for me- although the finishing scares me! I love the Moda Bake Shop fabric. I'd love to try this.ReplyDelete
I am impatiently waiting on the release of Spotlight on Neutrals by Pat Wys. Rumor (her blog) says she is in possession of the book. I'm wanting my copy!ReplyDelete
I love the look of "Simply Creative Quilts" by Maya Chaimovich, but I also need to get her last book.ReplyDelete
This book looks so great! I would love to have a closer look!ReplyDelete
I just love Deploy that Fabric!ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to getting a copy of "Sewing for Boys" by Karen LePage. I've dropped enough hints, I should get at least one copy for my birthday!!!ReplyDelete
I have yet to get any of the recently published books and first on my list has been this one. Thank you for the opportunity!ReplyDelete
I am eager to see Modern Mix of the ones floating around currently. I don't go to book stores or quilt stores much so have not had a chance to browse any recently. I have shelves full of quiting books.ReplyDelete
Oh boy....the more I see of Modern Mix the more I want it. :)ReplyDelete
Thx for your generosity here.
I'd really like a copy of Modern Mix! Thanks for this extra special giveaway!ReplyDelete
I'm loving the looks of Modern Mix! Hoping to win it or receive it for Christmas this year! :)ReplyDelete
I think the one I really want to get my hands on is Modern Mix. I love the idea of this one!! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Modern Mix has me intrigued at the moment. I love quilt books so there's always a few I want to get my hands on.ReplyDelete
I am really excited about the Modern Mix book! I hope I win one of these giveaways, if not, I know my local quilt shop will have a copy :)ReplyDelete
Right now, I'm really enjoying Growing Up Sew Liberated. Not a quilting book, but there are some really great projects for kids within.ReplyDelete

What fun books! What inspiration! Thank you for having such great resources! Will have to put them on my wish list!ReplyDelete

I can't wait for Vanessa Christensen's book to be available for purchase!ReplyDelete
I dont have any books, so this one would be a treat. Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete

Pick me Pick me!ReplyDelete
This and the sewing A-Z book are top of my list :) Did you hear that Santa?
Oh how I'd love this book! Thanks for the chance. I'm looking forward to Quilt Retro (and so many others).ReplyDelete
The Modern Mix seems to be my favorite new book. But I would like to win a copy of the moda bake shop book.ReplyDelete

Scrap Republic! I am trying to teach myself all about color and I love her scrappy style. I have been studying your blog carefully -- thanks very much for the tip about mixing charm packs and your stash! I am in the midst of trying this as a color exercise; I am going to make some mug rugs as ChristmAs gifts.ReplyDelete
I am trying to get through a piecing book, I forget the name off the top of my head, Freshly Pieced or something? It's really cleared up some of my bad habits and mistaken notions.ReplyDelete
I'm anxiously awaiting Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg and Cheryl Arkinson (Crazy Mom Quilts and Naptime Quilter). Amanda told us about it on her blog, coming out in the spring. This sounds like a commercial, but the Crazy Mom blog has helped me out so many times I'm thrilled to buy a copy.ReplyDelete
I really want this book! Modern Mix is on my list of books to get as well as Fresh Quilting.ReplyDelete
That books looks awesome! Thanks for the giveaway. I have already pre-ordered my Fat Quarterly book through Amazon - I can't wait until May!ReplyDelete
Look at you, having everyone sign it! So much fun! It looks like a really terrific book.ReplyDelete
I'm also excited about Scrap Republic, and I can't wait for Fat Quarterly's Shape Workshop! Is it weird that I print out each issue when they come out, and I keep them all in a big binder together?
I really want Scrap Republic (I save scraps religiously), and also Sewing for Boys. Yum!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance. I've fondled Modern Mix at my LQS and have been leaving hints for the Birthday fairies.ReplyDelete
I actually am really excited for Scrap Republic. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of that!ReplyDelete
Thanks for having all of these giveaways! I'm looking forward to Scrap Republic (the blog tours really work!), the new Schnibbles book by Carrie Nelson and also one that I can't remember the exact name, but has projects from bloggers who do swaps. Yikes, I'll have to look that one up again. Thanks!ReplyDelete
My favorite new quilt book is Strip-Smart Quilts by Kathy Brown! What a neat method to making all these different quilts with less work! And my favorite sewing book is Sewing for Boys! I need some new ideas to make some clothes for my boys! Thanks for an awesome giveaway - this book looks fabulous! :)ReplyDelete
Just found you! Glad I did, thanks for the chance to win. I would like to read Kelly McCant's "Sewing with Oilcloth" :)ReplyDelete

I am not familiar with too many upcoming quilt books. This one has been on my list since the Blog hop. Anything that uses pre-cuts is nice to have.ReplyDelete

I would LOVE to win this book. What a great giveaway! I also like Patchwork-Play Quilts: Make the Most of Scraps, Spare Parts, and Leftovers (That Patchwork Place).ReplyDelete

My most recent acquisition is "Drawn to Stitch" by Gwen Hedley. Whoa, this book is total eye candy to me.

scrap republic is probably the one that is tempting me the most :) Sure would love to sink my needle into the Moda book, though!ReplyDelete
It looks like Fresh Fabric Treats is my fav book right now! Thank you for the opportunity to win it!ReplyDelete

Fresh Fabric Treats, the three you mention above, and Pat Wys new book from Martingale on Neutrals.... Thanks for the chance to win an AUTOGRAPHED book - my first on "modern" quiltsReplyDelete
I have been eyeing the "scrap republic" book for a few weeks now (in my amazon cart for at lest the last two weeks). i have scraps coming out of every crevice in my craft room. i finally got them organized but i keep saying, "now what?!" that book would be the answer.....as would your fresh fabric treats. :-)ReplyDelete
Ooh...there are so many to choose from! I'm saving my pennies for "Quilting Modern"...and I just saw posted on FB Alissa Haight-Carlton's new book "Modern Minimal". Inspiration abounds!ReplyDelete
Scrap Republic is the book I currently crave!ReplyDelete
I really must use up what fabric I have in the current financial climate. And if oil and gas prices continue rising in the UK we will need all the quilts I can make to stay warm.
- AnonymousOctober 18, 2011 at 6:18 AM
I am looking forward to this book being released down here. We often miss out on books, or they are outrageously expensive. Still working on a queen size from Quilts Made Modern. I love Moda, my first two 'real'quilts were in Moda, and I love the feel of them. Guys who quilt! We need some in our Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild.ReplyDelete

So, I just finished my very first quilt two weeks ago. I used Boo Davis's book, Dare to Be Square, and I just liked the cover...don't judge a book by it's cover my foot! It helped for sure, but I could use some more ideas. Thanks!ReplyDelete

I have a huge list of books I need. This could easily be added to that list. Make Your Bed by Leslee Evans is currently at the top of the list. She has some beautiful bed runners...next year's Christmas gifts for my most of my family. One lucky couple gets a whole quilt.ReplyDelete
