Monte Carpegna
Footage of the 1973 Giro d'Italia from Jørgen Leth's wonderful documentary Stars and Watercarriers. Monte Carpegna, with a 22% max grade, was Marco Pantani's favourite training climb. "It's on Carpegna that I've prepared for all my victories – Carpegna is all I need". The climb also features on day three of Rapha's Randonnée Appennini.

"Carpegna mi basta" is painted all over this climb. At a couple moments though I swore it should have said "Carpegna, you bastard".

Really doesn't get any cuter!-Chicago Newborn Photographer | Aurora Newborn Photographer
Wednesday, April 10th, 2013The blog has been neglected, but there is SO much to come soon. I'll be updating like crazy. I have a ton to share, lots of new ideas, and an amazing opportunity on the horizon. Watch for all the new stuff to come! And remember to check back often. You never know when it might pay off!
In the mean time I would like to introduce baby L. I got to venture out to the Chicago-land Western Suburbs for this newborn session and when I saw little miss L my mouth dropped. Now I have been around newborns for a while but when they are 4lbs 11ounces you just forget how tiny they can be. Little L was the smallest baby I have photographed so far (she could not fit most of my hats because she was so small). She reminded me of my littlest peanut so much that I wanted to put her in my pocket! Mom and I had a lot in common and we had a great time talking and getting this peanut ready for her debut photo session.
Contact me at email@example.com about shooting your newborn session. Remember they are only this little for so long!!

Oooh, I think I like this one even more than the other. I'd totally sleep in that bed. Sleep with Pinkie and Twi each night (get your mind out of the gutter). <3

- Bloop said...
Pinkie Pie watching me while I sleep. Yeah, that's going to happen. On the upside, Twilight Sparkle.
- July 30, 2011 at 11:49 PM
Why is it that I want this? Im a grown man.
And I desire this bed set. - July 30, 2011 at 11:50 PM

Buying this for my dorm room to swap out with my current Spongebob sheets. HATERS GONNA HATE.
- July 30, 2011 at 11:53 PM
Just read it's a TODDLER SIZED BED. No wonder it's so cheap. Unless you're 5 feet or under, you'll have trouble fitting into it
- July 30, 2011 at 11:55 PM
- Basharoonskis said...
I wish my room was as manly as the one displayed in the pic. Even with the bedspread my walls would never be that shade of purple, nor would my drapes frill like that.
Feels bad pony...
Although i do have a Celestia that watches me while I sleep, so all is not lost. - July 30, 2011 at 11:55 PM
Now you know what it's like having a Pinlie Pie brushable on your bedside table.
Also, any bronies with TF2 add me on Steam, it's RunnerRunnerRun. - July 30, 2011 at 11:56 PM
- Crimson Valor said...
The whole bed? Or can I just have ze pillow and blanket?
- July 30, 2011 at 11:58 PM
- PureZOOKS said...
Gosh darn it hasbro, make something made for a 6ft3 man with a king size bed!
- July 30, 2011 at 11:59 PM
- Ihaveanamebecause? said...
What? Toddler sized bed?
I'd so buy this if they had it in a larger size... - July 31, 2011 at 12:12 AM
- UltimaShadow7 said...
I wish we could at least get the pillow separately since that isn't affected by the bed size.
- July 31, 2011 at 12:14 AM
Who the hell are they making these things for? 70 centimeter babies? Why would a baby want this? Come on, make some for grown men.
- July 31, 2011 at 12:16 AM
- Vermillion Twilight said...
I don't know why everyone's complaining about the size, it's just perfect for wall decorations, along with that gorgeous Celestia/Twilight throw posted a few days ago.
- July 31, 2011 at 12:31 AM
- Commodore Z said...
Look at your audience, Hasbro. Who's got the money? Bronies. We will shell out the cash for you.
Just make stuff for us, and you will make money. - July 31, 2011 at 12:31 AM
- musicssound said...
Ah, there. That one I wouldn't mind. Less outright girly stuff, more ponies. If only I didn't live in a dorm...Well, maybe I should anyway. My shocker for last year wasn't very well appreciated. (Admittedly, the most horrendously colored afghan I could find on the internet at short notice wasn't the best idea for a shocker, but it was something. And very warm.) Maybe if I just get the ponies as toys it would be enough.

I can toss this on top of my comforter as a blanket during winter

Can't sleep, pie will eat me. Can't sleep, pie will eat me.

I wish they sold the pillowcase separate, I would buy that in ten seconds flat
- July 31, 2011 at 1:00 AM
I'd buy the pillow, But the blanket is too far for me. XD
- July 31, 2011 at 1:03 AM
He's one that's Twin/Full http://www.walmart.com/ip/My-Little-Pony-Pony-Party-Sheet-Set/13269250 Sadly not FiM >.<
- July 31, 2011 at 1:34 AM
- GabuEx said...
Oh wow, this one's much better than the previous one. Way more tasteful colors. I might even consider getting this one if it fit a full-sized bed.
- July 31, 2011 at 2:47 AM
- Luna said...
For some reason, Sis on the nightstand looked like a transformer.
That's not wallpaper, it's a painted wall with decals.
I prefer the other set, because I don't want to sleep with Pinkie.
Who knows what she'll do in the middle of the night... - July 31, 2011 at 4:30 AM
- Luna said...
Also, at first glance, I thought this post was titled for some ship-fic.
- July 31, 2011 at 4:32 AM
I gotta love how they're proudly displaying that pink "Celestia" toy.
- July 31, 2011 at 6:17 AM

I just wish they would stop using those weird looking vectors...
- July 31, 2011 at 6:42 AM
- KShrike said...
Well, this looks more dece--
STOP USING THAT TWILIGHT VECTOR!!! - July 31, 2011 at 6:50 AM
- David Reinold said...
I am buying four of these and stitching them together so they fit on my bed. That's how bad I want to sleep under this. (hey, none of that, your mind went there, I just said it like it is)
- July 31, 2011 at 7:46 AM
- frith said...
Dammit! I was at Walmart on Friday, I went through the bed-linen section, and this WAS NOT THERE. Now that I know it exists, I guess I'll just have to go back and creep-out the clerks by asking for it. What do you mean it won't fit a 'twin bed'?
- July 31, 2011 at 8:26 AM
- frith said...
@David Reinold
$160 for one set of sheets!@_@ But then again, you'd have four awesome pillows. - July 31, 2011 at 8:29 AM
at first I was like that could work, I'm kinda short maybe this could work, after all I've been needing a new matress, but then... I did the math, too short by only 8".... darn.... well atleast the comforter and pillow case would work on my bed.
- July 31, 2011 at 8:57 AM
why does such a manly product have to be made for little girls!!!!
- July 31, 2011 at 8:58 AM
- Jennifer said...
I want this version. It's more pony and less pink. I want it in Twin size. Why did they make the less pink one for toddlers? :\
Still want a Rainbow Dash bed set. They should make that. - July 31, 2011 at 10:39 AM
PINKIE PIE!!! I want this for my dorm room SO FREAKING BAD.
- July 31, 2011 at 10:41 AM
*shakes fists at the sky in rage*
VEEECTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRSSS!!!!! Curse you and your piss-poor, yet overly-reproduced artwork!!! - July 31, 2011 at 11:40 AM
At that size, the comforter would make a cozy TV room throw for watching Ponies and you would have the pillow for your bed.
For the student who wants a Shocker. Think lap blanket for football games. ;') - July 31, 2011 at 4:20 PM
Ooh. I'm getting my room redone for my birthday :D...
Though, even for someone like me, my mom would never approve :(. - August 5, 2011 at 10:37 PM

Bridging the Logistical Divide: Integration of Poor Countries in Global Supply Chains
Ronald E. Berenbeim -
Publication Date:
August 2008 -
Report Number:
Amid the world's developing countries, the gap is widening between those that are developing rapidly such as India and China and those that are lagging behind. The rise in fuel costs is a new challenge for those who seek to narrow this divide. This Executive Action report analyzes the reasons behind the lagging development of the world's poorest countries and offers some solutions for conquering the divide to help those nations achieve sustainable growth.

Magnets naturally levitate above superconductors. The magnet's magnetic field can't penetrate the superconductor, causing it to float almost magically above. See this phenomenon at work in an exclusive Scientific American video.
May this work the reverse way? I mean, a superconductor floating above a magnet, and for example the Earth and other space bodies, and the space iself as having magnetic fields are not fully different from a magnet, just the intensity or strenght of the magnetic fields in things other than magnets is much lower than the magnetic field of a magnet.

I'm ever so happy to announce you that I have finally been able to get a "real" camera (with zoom, etc...)!!!
Now, I will be able to offer you better quality pictures with lots of cool food close-ups as well as high definition landscapes. It is a little jewel that will be my faithful and cherished companion that will assist me in the process of making this blog better and more interesting.
I received it a few days ago and since then, I can't stop playing/fiddling with it. I'm like a little child with a new toy! Compared to my other camera, it's like night and day...

>Liz: Are you okay?
Certainly. Why wouldn't you be? You are currently in the middle of a grassy island in the middle of a lake in the middle of nowhere and you are having a tea party with Chester, Sherlock Holmes, a Squiddle, a salmon in a tuxedo and Lindsay in an exceptionally frilly dress.
It's actually the last one that clues you in that you might be dreaming.
You try and remember what was going on before you fell asleep, but only bring back a blur. A sensation of falling, and the color orange, or maybe red. That's all that comes up.
But that's alright, you think as resign yourself to dreaming. You've had worse dreams.
Avatar from fanart of my adventure by trulyElse, because I'm self indulgent like that.
The Lemat-o-matic, because I have awesome readers.
My only suggestion other than "==>" for this intermission is-

"Oh, its a funny story, now that you ask..."
Holmes and the Squiddle take turns regaling you with a grand tale, about a fated meeting in Andes.
"And then Watson says..."
You can't help but notice the glances between the detective and the cartoon character. Glances filled with affection and longing. A blush creeps up the Squiddle's tentacles.
"When that rhyno charged, I though..."
Since this a dream arising from you subconscious, an outside observer might wonder if your fixation with shipping is a tad unhealthy. Thankfully, within the dream such thoughts do not occur to you.
"And I'll never go to that museum again!" the Squiddle finishes, an ending that is perfectly logical when placed in context of the story.

Yeah, sorry about that simon. When I first envisioned this, I was thinking of a drawn fan adventure, before I realized that I really couldn't draw.Didn't realize that it might be hard to keep track of who's who with no faces to put to names. Might as well check: is anyone else having trouble keeping track of the characters? That's a pretty good idea simon, anyone got any others?
And wow, I can't believe I did the wrong character thing again. I don't even have the excuse of similarly named characters this time. It's been fixed, but darn it if I'm not red over here.

Well, if character ID is the issue, you could color their narration with their personal chatting color to help. I do that in Airships Over Aranor, and they don't even have computers, much less a chat program in that one.
Edit for clarification: What I mean is, when a particular character is supposed to be the owner of the "point of view", or the "youness" of the adventure if you will, you write those lines in that character's color. The only real issue is if a given character has a color that's somewhat of an eyesore.
Got Portal 2? Come check out my maps, please!
Active Adventures (awaiting suggestions):
PersonS-like Persona, but not | An Aranor Adventure-high fantasy and adventure | Odd One Out-3 best friends, a kidnapped girl, an evil king, and elves | Beasts-a tale of survival | The Longest Flashback-fantasy noir, or something like that | GUIH-raising a dragon is harder than it sounds. | MageBound-Fantasy+"Stuck" | Creation-wherein the readers are the mind of a universe's omnipotent god | The College of Magic-pretty much what it says on the tin
I got a little lost earlier on as to who was who. Some more obvious differentiation would help.

>Liz: Appreciate Chester.
One of the wonderful things about a dream is that you can, say, ogle one of your platonic, opposite gender friends, who in real life you totally aren't interesting in that way, without worrying about the consequences. It helps that dream!Chester knows how to present himself.
Right now he is not wearing that silly lab coat that he insists on dragging around, looking like some modern day wannabe wizard. Here, he is dressed as a proper gentleman. He wears a proper outfit, something that is not too formal and not too casual, a simple collared shirt and black slacks. His hair is still untidy, because really, he wouldn't be Chester if that changed. His green eyes meet yours, and you are caught up in a moment that lasts for an eternity. He returns your gaze without reaction, as though waiting for you to make the first move. Waiting...
Oh nonononononononono!
There are some places where you will not go. Even in a dream.
>Chester x Lindsay!
The dream changes. The setting is more or less the same, but the more outlandish individuals have vanished. All that remains are you, Chester, and Lindsay. The latter two are currently in the middle of SLOPPY MAKEOUTS.
And you are fine with this. Happy for them, even.
Absolutely no sort of negative feelings at all.
The darkening sky and wilting plantlife are certainly not representations of your subconscious rebelling against this scene. Really, why would anyone think that?

Liz's Internal Battle: Mainfest
It's supposed to be like this.
That's what you've told yourself for years. Ever since it became obvious that Lindsay had a thing for Chester. They've been friends for years, and a boy and a girl cannot be friends for that long without something developing. It's against all laws of narrative. The childhood friend needs to have a shot, needs to take the chance with the object of her affection. You can't get in the way of that.
It's supposed to be like this.
The dream changes. Lindsay dissappears and is replaced with Victoria. That works. The new girl, you think as the sky continues to darken, as the slightest drops of rain making themselves known on your skin. That has precedent. She comes along and changes everything he knows, everything he once believed, and draws him in. It's a story just as recognisable, just as iconic. Something that works.
It's supposed to be like this.
The dream changes again. Now Victoria dissappears, unreplaced. As the rain begins to fall, there is only you and Chester. He looks at you as though expecting something.
Something you can't give.
Because this? This isn't suppose to happen. There's no story, no precedent, nothing. Why would he choose you when he has someone else? You have nothing to offer, nothing worth bringing.
And he knows it. That's why, in a flash of lightning and a crash of thunder, Chester disappears. You stand alone in the torrential downpour, with the grass inexplicably brown and dead around you.
This is how it's supposed to be...

Your name isn't Mood, and you would be swinging if it wasn't raining buckets right now.
You are currently a eleven year old boy playing in the rain. You know, running around, splashing in puddles, kid stuff. Your PREVIOUSLY OWNED RAIN GEAR is not doing the best job of keeping you dry, but you really don't care too much. A little water never hurt anybody.
You are currently in a SMALL PARK, and you appear to be alone but you can't say for sure since you only got here a few minutes ago. There is a large field that has presently been turned into a quagmire of mud and large puddles, and a PLAYGROUND containing the standard amusements: SWINGS, a JUNGLE GYM, a LITTLE TUNNEL, and a SLIDE.
So, what's your name little fella? And what are you going to do next?

I thought we just established that your name isn't Mood! I mean seriously, what kind of name is Mood? Sounds like something out of a bad JRPG.
You are now Jon. What, a last name? Err... Raines actually.
You are now JON RAINES. It is hard to tell much about your appearance from an outside observation because you are currently covered in mud. Thankfully, you do not need to observe yourself to know what you look like. For example, you know that you have brown hair, which is something of a mess right now, not that you really care, and that you have identically coloured eyes. The jeans you are wearing are faded and have a hole in the right knee, while your tee shirt... okay, to be quite honest this tee shirt has been through enough that you can't really remember what colour it was to start out. It seems to have settled on grey, now.
>Jon: Splash.
You see a puddle the size of a small lake (at least it looks that way to you) and dart towards it without any hesitation. Upon reaching the edge, you jump, catapulting yourself as far as your legs will take you. Your landing displaces a large amount of water, and you would be soaked if you weren't already. It did help clean you off however. Not that you care about that. You are having what is colloquially known as "a blast".

You look around. Playing in the rain is fun and all, but being all alone in a park like this can get a bit lonely. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be anyone here. Maybe your new friend is hiding?
You check the tunnel and are legitimately surprised when you discover someone there. Your first thought it was a homeless person, but a few key details make things a bit more interesting.
First of all, it is a teenage girl. Techinically, that doesn't disqualify her from being homeless, but it still defeats the image of a hairy old guy.
Second, she has vibrantly green hair. Not exactly something you'd think a homeless person would bother with.
Third, she has a sword, something no homeless person has a right to own.
Finally, she's bleeding from somewhere on her left side.
Well, you wanted a friend. Beggers can't be choosers.

Medical knowledge? Really? Your eleven. A bandaid is the extent of your medical knowledge.
>Jon: Ask if she needs help.
Well, you can't have your new friend dying on you. You resolve to do what you can, even if that is simply poking her shouldler to wake her up.
"hay mis."
"wayk up!"
Her eyes quickly open, and she looks around frantically.
She rises up fast, apparently forgetting that she had fallen asleep in a place designed to force children on there hands and knees. Her head hits the top of the tunnel hard, and she returns back into a sitting position, dazed. Slowly, she seems to get an idea of where she is. Her eyes settle on you.
"who are you?"
"nayms jon. hoo ar yoo?"
"what? oh, no"
"i'm Victoria"
"nies to meechya"
Slowly, she begins to rise again, careful of the ceiling this time. She steps out into the rain, takes to steps, and stumbles forward, barely braking her fall with her right hand.
"hay, yoo need sum help?"
"i'll be fine"
"yoo dont look it"
"go away"
She gets up again, or at least attempts to, but eventually decides to settle on a sitting position again. She closes her eyes, and for a moment you think she might be trying to go back to sleep.
"yoo cant nap in the rayn"
"i'm not trying to"
"then wat ar yoo doin?"
"go. away."
"ladee, yoo need a docter"
"what I need is quiet"
You close your mouth. Maybe you should just go, but this girl seems way to interesting to just ignore. You sit down a little bit in front of her, mirroring her position. After a few moments, she cracks open an eye. Then she sighs, hanging her head.
"where are your parents?"
"not hear"
"what are you doing here all alone?"
"where are we?"
"in the rayn"
"...what. is. the. nearest. address."
You can hear her stress levels rise with each word she speaks. You figure now is a good time to stop being annoying.
"spring and ferst"
"alright kid"
"be quiet"
"jon then"
"if you're not going away, then help me up"
"we don't have far to go"
You help the girl up, letting her use your shorter frame as support, and then the two of you begin to move. You are on her left, getting a little bit of blood on your rain jacket. In her right hand, she listlessly drags her sword, leaving a trail in the mud to compliment the occasional drop of blood.
Well, you were hoping something interesting would happen today.

((I just recategorised some notes, as I realised this person must be eeternalSolitood, not the person Victoria was phoned by earlier.))
>Jon: Ask where you are going, what happened, etc.
The two of you hobble along, occasionally stopping for Victoria to give you directions. Eventually, you get bored and decide you want to know more about what's going on.
>Ill matched duo: Seek aid.
Damn it to as many hells as Chester can name, this kid doesn't shut up. You are beginning to get the feeling that he's being intentionally annoying. You don't know why you had to get help from him.
And yet you did. Maybe it even had to be him. You've never known anyone named Jon, and yet the name has come up in your visions. You wonder if this kid is fated to be caught up in whatever is happening to you and your friends.
Speaking of, it's about time another one of your friends was involved. You'd rather find Lindsay, she has more medical knowledge, but as far as you know she's at Chester's house and that's too far to go in your condition.
You look at your phone dumbly as you walk, ignoring the protests of your body for using your left arm; you are not about to put your sword down. You try and recall his number...
Nothing. Blood loss must have done more to you head than you thought. Fine, you just go into the history and find it.
You hang up. You know its wrong of you to call and make him worry like that, but right now you don't have time to calm him down. As it is, you were having trouble concentrating on a conversation and staying upright at the same time.
You've got to hurry. For everyone's sake.

Calgary police have laid their first charges of human trafficking involving a minor after two men were accused of recruiting teenage girls to work as prostitutes.
The Calgary men are now in custody facing extensive charges, which police say are "significant and serious" and carry a minimum of five years in prison upon conviction.
In late 2012, the girls, 15 and 17, met two men on the street. After being wined and dined, the teens were recruited to work in the sex trade.
The 15-year-old fled, but the 17-year-old remained "under the control and duress" of the two men over the course of a few days.
"She did have to escape after she was put in a particularly bad situation with sex-trade customers, and used her street smarts to escape," said Staff Sgt. Rob Rutledge with the organized crime response unit.
Police estimate the teen was forced to provide sexual services to several dozen customers in two different north Calgary hotels before fleeing to safety.
Within a couple of weeks, she contacted police, who launched an investigation in December. Investigators managed to track down the 15-year-old and corroborate the information she provided.
Rutledge said this is a typical example of how victims are groomed into prostitution.
"These guys come on as knights in shining armour. They wine and dine these gals, they provide them clothes, take them to fancy restaurants, buy them jewelry, lingerie, perfume," he said.
"Then, at some point, they say: 'You owe me. You owe me for all the things I purchased for you. Now you're going to pay it back.'"
The victims have families in Calgary and secure places to live, Rutledge said, adding: "They're not bad girls, they just fell in with the wrong crowd."
Last Friday, officers arrested two men at undisclosed locations.
Arjanit Nick (Sammy) Simnica, 29, and Avni (Antonio) Gashi, 22, both of Calgary, were each charged with two counts of procuring a person to become a prostitute, living on the avails of a prostitute under the age of 18, human trafficking, receiving material benefit from human trafficking, two counts of forcible confinement, assault and possession of stolen property over $5,000.
Simnica is known to police for unrelated criminal matters.
They remain in custody and are expected to appear in court on Friday.
Rutledge said it appears this was a case of two individuals trying to make money off victims, not an organized prostitution ring. However, if there are any other victims, he urged them to notify police.
Andrea Burkhart, executive director of ACT Alberta — which works with law enforcement and community groups to crack down on human trafficking and to assist victims — said these cases are "the tip of the iceberg."
There are likely many more victims who may be reluctant to come forward because they don't know their rights or are fearful of their abusers, she said.
"Anytime there's money to be made, there's a potential for people to exploit others," she said. "Sometimes it's organized crime, sometimes it's small operations, sometimes family members or even intimate partners. There are multiple ways that traffickers can exploit people."
While there is still a lot of work to be done to combat this problem, Burkhart said she's proud of community members for their work in this area. A pilot program — the first of its kind in Canada — was launched in the fall to train volunteers to become community educators on such issues.
Burkhart said she's also pleased to see investigative work by Calgary authorities resulting in charges laid.
"It's a tragedy that this is happening here, but it's positive that law enforcement is pressing charges and that the victims have come forward."

So the next question is, if the co. will replace worn or broken tools, (talking large ticket items here) will they give you new tools when you quit, get fired, or retire?

I never asked them, but I'm sure they will not cover them if I get fired or quit. I'm a long way from retiring so thats out of the question.
I'm def not going out of my way to get these asap. Our shop has a few locked up for installers. I will just try and get them on my van until i get yelled at for taking them .
I could be a Dic when i leave and break them on purpose to get a new one. I actually have seem many people do this to brand new tools.
My other worry is getting them stolen out of my Van. I hope they cover that.
Leak detector is your own personal tool, i bought that brand new, that is a sensitive item and i wanted to make sure i was the only one who used it, I didnt even get a expensive one, i got the inficon tek-mate wich was only like 160.00, the scale i bought as well but now that i think about it all companies should issue a scale because it only benefits them as far as how much of their refrigerant you are using and should be charging. With out the scale then most techs will start to fill up a air conditioner until the pressures are right, then just kind of guess how much was used and other will fill it up and just write down how many pounds it reads on the data plate if there is one.
Leak detector is your responseability, thats a tool like a wrench because a leak detector helps you find the leak a bit faster, If you cant afford it then get soap bubbles and find leaks the old fashion way.I will take a bullet for my Veto LC tool bag!

I agree with looking on E-bay. But, I will not buy any tools that are used in our field from a pawn shop. Reason being, I have had my van broken into twice about $1,000 dollars each time and I am almost certain they ended up in a pawn shop. I sure as he!! don't believe they ripped me off to have some tools to go to work with. DO NOT BUY TOOLS FROM A PAWN SHOP!!!

I think you are looked at as a more valued imployee if you have all those tool. If you lose your job you can allways get a job the next day at a different company. In Texas it seems like everyone is allways looking for good techs.
I would not assume they will replace stolen tools...or in that fact worn out tools...get it in writing.
It looks like you will be doing residential. For commercial, I'd ditch the six foot ladder and put a ten foot on the truck.
#3, 5, 6, and 7 would be company supplied for me.
A couple of tools you feel should be covered by the company is not a reason to leave. You are in this for the long haul. Good tools raise your efficiency, and your earnings. Plus, hand tools are deductible expenses. The key is to spend enough on those deductions to be a larger amount than your "standard" deduction. That's the only reason you would itemize.[Avatar photo from a Florida training accident. Everyone walked away.]

Post subject: new iW sensor at Rooster Rock, OR
With good support from Stuart Hill at iWindsurf, and great cooperation from OR State Parks, we now have an operational sensor at Rooster Rock State Park at the west end of the Gorge. There used to be a sensor there until the ranger station burnt down in June, 2000. Rooster is known for being the windiest spot in the Gorge during fall, winter, and spring east winds.

That's great news!
Its funny because I was wondering about rooster rock and did a forum search, only to find you pretty much just posted it
Any idea when it will come online? I don't see it yet on the sensor list or map.
Also, wasn't rooster on line a few days last year? I just assumed the locals hated it and windsurfers so they knocked it out soon after it coming on-line. I have no evidence of that, i just assumed someone was really motivated to prevent the sensor from working.

Yes, I also would be interested in knowing when it is scheduled to be activated and available online on iwindsurf.

The sensor is on-line, but you have to hunt for it a little - go to the "Gorge West" region then click on the "current obs" tab, and you can find Rooster Rock on the list of sites. Hopefully, they will get it on the big "columbia gorge" region map eventually. Stuart is going to get out there this week to fix the wind vane so the direction will report correctly.

The Rooster sensor is now up and running on the iW website. You can find it on the "OR - Columbia River" map or the "OR - Gorge West" map. They also fixed the problem where it always said it was "Asleep" even though it was really working. The wind direction is now working as well.
Due to the sensor location and some nearby trees, I think it will read pretty low this summer. We have a couple east wind days coming up this week, which will be a good test. I think the gust reading will correlate pretty well with what's going on on the water.
In the fall, when the leaves are down, it will probably give a more true reading.
We'll keep an eye on it this year, and then next spring we'll try to tune it up for better performance.

It's been a long hard road, but it's nice to see Stu's patience has paid off and Rooster Rock is back in action. Thanks for *your* help too, Bob. Once you get used to how the Rooster station compares to wind-on-water, it'd be great if you could add notes to the "Local Info" and "Sensor Notes" sections. Just click the "edit this page" link on

Rooster Rock! Sweet..that's a great sensor to have not only for windsurfing but also for just checking it from time to time when it's majorly windy just to be amazed...that seems to be the place that gets those OUTRAGEOUS strong winds in the late Winter, right?
Or is it late Fall that it goes off the charts?

I've seen really big days at Rooster from Oct to Feb. There is a local tribe of hard core winter sailors (not me) that sails there year round. When the wind gets over 40MPH you start to get "smoke on the water" conditions where the spray rips off the tops of the waves and flies through the air. Big guys on 2.8m sails is not unheard of.

Post subject: Rooster Rocks!
A few years ago when the sensor was still working, it was blowing 40-45 easterly every day over the Thanksgiving Day weekend, so I drove down from Seattle to try my luck. Winds of 40mph + 42 degree air temp = 20 wind chill. On my smallest gear (3.5 & 8' 4" Open Ocean) I was so overpowered it was frightening. Horizontal spray, 6-10' rollers (WITH the current), and NO ONE else out. A little stupid. I hung on for half an hour until careening into the sandbar on the Oregon side at 30mph. (The sand was 2" below the surface when the river's high.)
Fall easterlies at RR in the 20-30mph range are very fun, though! Warm water, few crowds, and closer to Portland/Seattle than HR.

January Monthly Chat: Dunn Unclear on Contract Committee's Work and Proposed Closed Meetings
In this month's conversation, among other topics, Dr. Dunn discusses Murray State's Board of Regents' newly created ad-hoc committee to review his contract. The committee consists of Regents Marilyn Buchanon, Stephen Williams and Board Chairman Dr. Constantine "Deno" Curris. The board formed the committee as questions surrounded Dunn's future at MSU. Dunn's contract expires in June of 2014. He also underwent a comprehensive employment review in 2012.
Dunn says he and his wife, Ronda, prefer to stay with MSU, but until the board takes action on his contract he'll continue to seek exceptional career opportunities.
Dunn has been a finalist for two other education related posts in the last 6 months.
Curris has not announced a formal meeting of the contract review committee, but he intends on keeping those meetings closed to the public. However, a recent Kentucky Attorney General opinion (this link requires a word document to be downloaded from a secure government website) might impact Curris' decision to keep the meetings closed. WKMS News has an outstanding call to Dr. Curris to discuss the AG opinion and whether that opinion will influence his decision to keep the meeting(s) closed.
In the rest of this monthly conversation Dunn discusses the ongoing work of the budget planning and review teams, planned renovation work on residential colleges and his time on a work group to boost the visibility for Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) of which MSU is a member.

DORSET, Vt.–Woodenware company J.K. Adams has been awarded the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain-of-Custody certification.
The FSC is the leading forestry stewardship system in the world with the mission to ensure forestry practices that are environmentally responsible, socially equitable and economically viable.
The company worked to obtain this certification for over a year, said John Rodrigues, vice president of J.K. Adams. The certification allows the company to put the FSC label on its products certifying that they meet rigorous environmental impact guidelines. J.K. Adams will debut new products in January—including cutting boards, servers and kitchen accessories—that will carry the FSC label.
"We have worked hard to raise the bar and set new standards in our industry—both in terms of design and in environmental practices—and are thrilled to be the first in the kitchen products category to receive the FSC Chain-of-Custody certification," said Malcolm Cooper, president of J.K. Adams, in a statement.

After the Cavaliers took their final lead of the night on a Nehemiah Jones bucket with 21 seconds left, the Tigers got the ball back with a chance to win it.
As the play unfolded, Troup head coach Thermond Billingslea thought about calling timeout, but he decided to let things play out.
That strategy paid big dividends when Lakeithin Buckner, who led all scorers with 20 points, found Daryl Dunlap for an uncontested layup with three seconds left to give the Tigers the lead.
The Cavaliers didn't have enough time left to get a shot away, and the Tigers escaped with a 70-69 victory to improve to 5-3.
"I was getting ready to get it (a timeout), and he crossed halfcourt, so I said, we might as well go with it because we're already in motion," Billingslea said. "I didn't want to start again."
Buckner looked like he was about to hoist up a shot, but he spotted Dunlap alone under the basket, so he fed him the ball for an easy score.
It was, Callaway head coach Terry Hayes said, a major defensive miscue.
"We had a mental breakdown by the goal down there," Hayes said. "My guy was a spectator. It costs us."
It was a fantastic ballgame filled with terrific individual performances and numerous changes in momentum.
The Tigers took a 58-48 lead into the fourth period, but the Cavaliers roared back and tied it at 60-60 with 5:10 remaining on a Tyrell Tigner basket.
About 30 seconds later, Tigner made two free throws to give the Cavaliers the lead, but the fun was just getting started.
In the final four minutes, neither team led by more than a point, and they exchanged the lead eight times over that stretch.
With 2:26 remaining, Dunlap scored to put the Tigers up 68-67, and although they only scored once more in the game, it was just enough.
Jones' basket with 21 seconds left was Callaway's only basket in the final two minutes.
The Cavaliers fell to 1-4, but they've lost those four games by a combined 16 points, and they've lost two games to Troup by a total of four points.
"We just have to stop beating ourselves and just finish games," Hayes said.
The Tigers have had their share of close games as well, and they've managed to win a bunch of them.
"We thought maybe we can win one or two in the process while we're learning," said Billingslea, whose team has just one returning starter. "We're going to struggle. I know that. But we're working to get better."
The Tigers finished the first quarter on an 8-0 run to take a 19-14 lead, and they led by as many as 14 points in the second period on the way to a 37-26 lead at the break.
The Cavaliers stormed back in the third period to take a 45-44 lead with 2:58 showing on the clock after back-to-back baskets by Brandon Bridges, but the Tigers ended the quarter on a 14-4 run to take a 58-48 lead.
The Cavaliers then went on a 14-2 run in the fourth period to take the lead and set up the thrilling finish.
While Buckner led Troup with 20 points, Demetrious Trammell had a big night as well with 15 points, and Dunlap added 12 points.
Tigner paced the Cavaliers with 16 points, and Patrick Strickland added 10 points, with eight of those points coming in the first quarter.
Both teams will be at home for games today, with Callaway facing Lanett (Ala.) and Troup playing Northside.

The death of a U.S. Army captain who died while engaged in a video chat with his wife from Afghanistan remained under investigation Saturday, the family said.
Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark was in Tarin Kowt, about 85 miles (140 kilometers) north of Kandahar, when he died during a Skype session with his wife.
Clarence Davis, a spokesman for the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas, where Clark was based, said that it has not been determined how Clark died and that the case is under investigation.
Clark's family said in a statement that they'd hoped for "a miracle" after his wife Susan saw what happened to Clark during their chat on Monday, but "it was not to be." They did not elaborate as to what took place.
"Although the circumstances were unimaginable, Bruce's wife and extended family will be forever thankful that he and his wife were together in his last moments," Clark's wife and family said Friday.
Clark -- known by many as Kevin -- was a chief nurse in the Army who amassed many honors in his military career, according to his family. Those include an Army Commendation Medal, Military Outstanding Volunteer Service, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and an Army Service Medal.
The longtime resident of Spencerport, New York, joined the Army in September 2006 and served, among other places, at the Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii, according to a Beaumont Army Medical Center statement. More recently, he was based at that medical facility in southwest Texas and assigned to the Army's A Company, Troop Command.
"He loved being in the military," his sister-in-law Mariana Barry told CNN affiliate WHAM in upstate New York. "He was absolutely willing to make any sacrifice, and it's just horrible that this is the sacrifice he ended up making."
His commander described Clark, 43, as "awesome," "professional" and "a great asset, leader and friend," the family said.
After his death, special operations troops from the United States and Australia lined up to give him his final send-off from Afghanistan.

I like plaid neckties made of silk to wear when it is warm. That is because we wear patterned tailored clothing to a greater extent in the fall than we do in spring, when the solid tan gabardines and light gray fresco suits are out of storage. Those latter ensembles benefit from some additional complexity in the accompanying accessories, and, on appropriate occasions (like the Bermudan tobacco break in the Esquire illustration), a colorful plaid necktie can supply it.
For maximum effect it is better that the tie be made of silk or silk and cotton rather than entirely cotton. Just as color is better suited to sunshine, the sheen of silk in a necktie is, in my opinion, more important than it is under the gray skies of winter.
Madras, tartan, or some other style all suit the bill. Wear plaid neckties in summer.

Wear Plaid Neckties in Summer
6 comments:

You use the term madras as though it could refer to the pattern on a silk tie. I thought it referred to the cotton fabric itself on which said patterns were printed.

- Will said...
It can refer to either.

At one time I had a dozen "black watch" plaid silk ties in rotation. I didn't restrict their wear to summer, but they certainly wore better than cotton anything.

Is that a Kent double breasted (tan) suit ?

Looks like one.

I have been trying to build my collection of plaid neckties. They can be hard to find! I have a couple of cotton madras numbers; two more cottons; two wools (one in cream & blue with thin yellow & orange stripes, so it's really a summer tie); a gingham-esque (shepherd's plaid?) semi-wedding tie in navy & white; and I just added my fourth silk one today (which will see its debut tomorrow). I also have a silk Black Watch which looks solid from more than a few feet away—not ideal for summer, but a nice change of pace anyway.
I love my plaid ties, especially on the weekends. Plaid ties are the bee's knees. - July 14, 2011 at 11:08:00 PM PDT

okay currently making a map............. i just gotta get this global stuff right :-\
I've finally got round to going through this and it's a brilliant tutorial, you're a great teacher annikk ;)
Once I've found some time for a couple of "levels" (to make sure I properly understand the concepts in here) I'll move on and see how I do with your intermediate guide. Thankyou for all this work. I wouldn't have considered looking at the level making process without your guides here.
Okay then, here I am.
As you may remember, I'm on an iMac, and when I play Eufloria, it is in a Parallels Desktop Virtual Machine w/ Vista. For now I'd like to stay with TextWrangler, a free Mac coding editor I'm already quite comfortable with. Lua colouring etc. included.

WORCESTER Like nearly everybody packed into the Methacton ninth-grade gymnasium Thursday night, Warriors head coach A.J. Maida was mightily impressed with the performance of Pioneer Athletic Conference foe Boyertown, nearly the unanimous choice as the PAC-10 team most likely to slug it out with Owen J. Roberts for conference supremacy.
And why not? The Bears beat up, battered and bruised the Warriors en route to a surprisingly easy 49-12 win.
But it wasnt losing to Boyertown that had Maida hotter than a July bonfire, it was the way his team wrestled, acted and responded to the early-season challenge.
I dont mind losing to a good team, Maida said moments after his team was manhandled. Sometimes you can learn something in a loss. But you dont learn anything falling down and rolling over on your back.
Boyertown embarrassed us in our own place, but we also embarrassed ourselves by our behavior on the mat and by people acting like they shouldnt be acting.
While it likely would have taken an Act of Congress for Methacton to upset Boyertown, the match was looked at by the Warriors as a gauge as to just how close they were to that level of wrestling that represents the PAC-10s elite these days.
According to Maida after the match, the distance may well be longer than the distance from Fairview Village to Gabelsville.
Right now, theyre a good team and were not, Maida said. The effort wasnt there, across the board, and thats my fault.
Maybe I have to change the way were doing things.
The Bears grabbed control of the match early, beginning with Jordan Wertzs 4-0 whitewashing of Tahar Ferradji at 220 pounds and freshman sensation Jordan Wood bumping up to heavyweight to slip past Tracey Green via a third-period escape, 1-0.
By the time Garrett Mauger won by fall at 113, the visitors were on top, 18-0, and the Warriors had yet a to score a single point on the mat.
Things went from unsettling to uh-oh when Boyertowns Dylan Wertz rallied from an 6-2 deficit to top Eric Straup, 10-8, at 120. Even after giving up two sets of near-fall points in the third, Straup appeared to have righted the ship with a reversal to seize an 8-6 lead late. But Wertz used a late reversal and back points to pull out the win.
We started things off on the right note, said Boyertown head coach Pete Ventresca. We knew they had tough kids up top, and we figured theyd be battles up there, and they were.
But I was very pleased with the way our kids wrestled. They were aggressive, showed good mat sense, and they were able to capitalize on some things.
Trailing 27-0 after a Eddie Kriczky fall at 126, Methacton finally got on the board when Joe Staley hung on to top Dante Colonna at 132. But the Bears went right back to work at 138 when Reuben Maldonado erased a 2-0 deficit after one period and cruised to a 16-2 victory.
Were up, 2-0, after the first period and we lose, 16-2, Maida said. Thats got nothing to do with wrestling, thats just being tough, and we have to be tougher.
The Warriors fortunes did not improve over the final few bouts, and afterwards Maida vowed things were going to change.
Were just going to work on being better, and maybe change the way we do some things, Maida said. We cant let something like this happen again.

N.J. Catholic school custodian charged in hidden camera casse
The chief custodian who was responsible for the school's video surveillance system resigned from his job at a Camden County catholic school after pictures -- some nude -- he allegedly took of students with cameras hidden in the school were found on his school-issued cell phone, according to NBC10.
In a letter sent to parents Tuesday, Gloucester Catholic Junior/Senior High School Principal John Colman says the Camden County Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into the former employee after he allegedly circulated photos of students.
On Wednesday, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office announced the arrest of John Martin, 41, of Jefferson Avenue in Wenonah. Martin was charged with third-degree invasion of privacy and released on his own recognizance as details of his alleged deeds emerged.
Prosecutors say Martin, who worked for 18 years at the school eventually running the maintenance department and high school surveillance system, allegedly installed hidden video cameras around the building to capture students and teachers -- mostly females -- in various stages of undress. The quarter-inch pinhole-size cameras were hidden in ventilation ducts and smoke detectors and placed in eight rooms -- some where students changed -- including classrooms, the choir room, weight room, backstage area, maintenance area and football area.
"Of course I'm upset and sad and more shocked than anything else," said parent Toni DeJesse.
Martin allegedly linked the hidden cameras into the school's existing surveillance system. He's accused of possessing hours of video and many photos which, according to prosecutors, appear to have been screen shots taken with his cell phone.
Prosecutors say a witness informed law enforcement last week of the alleged images. The investigation came to light the day before Thanksgiving and Martin resigned his position at the school the same day, according to Colman's letter.
"In the past few days we've been reviewing data on the school computers, on Mr. Martin's computers, on his cell phone, and we found a wealth of images," said county prosecutor's office spokesman Jason Laughlin.
Prosecutors say that Martin shared the photos with at least two other people. It wasn't immediately clear how far back Martin was allegedly taking videos of students in the school.
More charges could be coming against Martin and the people he allegedly shared the images with even though the images weren't widely distributed. Continued...
"We don't have any information that he put them on the Internet or attempted to sell them," Laughlin said.
As part of his release, Martin isn't allowed anywhere near the high school, students or staff.
Prosecutors say they hope to identify some of the victims in the videos and say those victims will be contacted by law enforcement.
"We at the school will notify the parents of any students whose photograph is identified so that they can be alerted to this situation and so that the students can be provided whatever counseling or other assistance might be necessary," Colman said in his letter.
Colman promised to keep parents in the loop about the investigation.
On Wednesday, the school issued a letter that said they would "continue to work to assure the well-being of our students and ask that you keep us in your prayers."
No one answered the door at Martin's home Wednesday night.
