Selection biases associated with the analysis of observational data are well known. With biases, it is always difficult to establish causal relations. Observational data, even longitudinal data, often do not allow us to make causal statements easily. To address such causality difficulties, we explore substantive interests using the method of propensity score matching. Initially, we seek to address research questions that explore the effects of out-of-wedlock childbearing on union formation patterns, the effects of intermarriage on marital stability, the effects of transitions in marital status on health, and the effects of migration on earnings. Given available data, causal relationships within these questions cannot be readily established without accounting for selection biases. Propensity score matching allows researchers to designate certain characteristics, such as race, income, region, and/or educational attainment, to act as matching criteria. These matching criteria serve as independent variables or controls that are used to generate the propensity score. Based on the criteria, a counterfactual group can be created. A matching variable divides respondents into control and treatment groups while the background control variables generate the propensity score that is used to match respondents into pairs. Propensity score matching, indeed, provides an important alternative for addressing selection bias. Future research needs to explore potential limitations such as sample size, the extent of overlap between treatment and control groups, and hidden bias.

There's nothing like the bounce and vibration of the open road to play havoc with your RV's drawers and cabinets. If drawers aren't properly secured or are being used incorrectly then they could fly open at any turn, flinging your possessions out and making for a big clean up job when you reach your destination. Whether you own your RV or you're hiring it, there are a few adjustments you can make to make sure your RV drawers can withstand the drive, no matter how bumpy.
Method 1 of 2:
Finding a Temporary Fix
1Tie bungee cords around two or more drawer handles to keep them shut. If you can't drill holes or install new latches in your RV then bungee cords are a quick and easy fix for drawers that won't stay shut.[1] X Research source
- If you have a line of drawers on top of each other, you can tie them all together using a bungee cord with hooks.
- Bungee cords can also be used to secure cabinet sized drawer units so they won't open on the move.
2Push a rolled up rug in front of low drawers. A tightly rolled carpet wedged against a low to the ground drawer will stop it opening en route. You could also use a heavy towel in the same way.[2] X Research source
3Use sticky magnets or velcro for lighter drawers. This will give the drawer just that extra bit of security and keep it shut on the road with the added bonus of no drilling or screwing.
- Adhesive magnets or adhesive velcro can be stuck on the inside of RV drawers where there isn't too much weight pressure on the latch but remember not to overload these drawers.[3] X Research source
4Pack your possessions in cabinets or containers instead. Sometimes a drawer is simply too overloaded for the latch to stay shut. If you have one problematic drawer which keeps flying open, try lightening the load you are carrying in it or emptying it altogether.
- You can use cartons, bin bags, pouches and over door cabinet hooks to stow your things.[4] X Research source
Method 2 of 2:
Finding a Permanent Solution
1Screw in strong magnetic latches. These latches, which come in two magnetic parts for either side of your drawer, will keep your drawers shut on the road. Magnetic latches are invisible and so they won't mess up your decor.[5] X Research source
- Line up one side of the magnetic latch on the inside of the drawer and screw in with the wood screws provided.[6] X Research source
- Line up the other side of the latch so it can connect with the first part and screw in.
- Packs often come with a template which will help guide you on placement.
- Take note of the weight limits on the packet so you don't overload the latches or they won't work.[7] X Research source
2Install magnetic security latches. These invisible locks will hold your drawers shut and are great if you are also looking for a security element.[8] X Research source
- Use wood screws to screw one side of the magnetic lock inside your drawer. Use the template provided in the packet to find the right placement so that the mechanism can latch shut.
- To open the cabinet, hold the magnetic key against the drawer on the other side of the latch and wait for the click.
3Secure the drawers with child-safety catches. These screw-in catches are designed to keep busy little hands out and so are very effective at keeping drawers shut even in rough driving conditions.[9] X Research source
- Position one side of the latch against the inside of the drawer cabinet near the edge and drill in place with the screws provided in the pack.
- Position the other side of the latch on the drawer itself so that it can connect with the first side and then drill that in place.[10] X Research source
- Child safety catches will allow the drawer or cabinet to open slightly so be wary of storing anything small and thin with these catches as those things may slip out.

Note: I started this post a little over a month ago. I'm finishing it now.
Taking a break from caking, I'm getting back to cupcakes…
Saturday was a boat load of fun as Miss Becky came over to bake with me! She was graciously bringing some of her favorite cupcakes to a birthday celebration that night, and we tried a new recipe for fun.
She picked an Amaretto (almond) cupcake from this gem of a magazine, Cupcakes, which she also gave me a copy of.
The birthday cupcakes were to be a vanilla cinnamon cake with chocolate frosting and some sprinkles (her personal favorite recipe). I don't have either recipe available to post (I know, then what's the point?) but I figured I'd start sharing anyways and upload recipes later. At least get the creative juices going and hopefully inspire you to either bake or go on the hunt for new cupcakes!
These are the vanilla cinnamon cakes, fresh out of the oven.
A simple chocolate frosting, consisting of some good Penzey's cocoa powder, butter, powdered sugar, and a little milk:
Topped off! I appreciated the home-made-ness of this cupcake. There were no frills- just plopped that frosting right on top of the cupcake, no piping necessary.
Add some sprinkles and … I think this is laffy taffy. (Yeah, it was for color)… Birthday cupcakes!!!
Next up: Amaretto cupcakes with a mixed batter. The base of the batters was basically the same- we made the vanilla side spiked with some Disarrono Amaretto, then split the batter and added cocoa powder to half of it. This gave us the black and white look:
It baked up quite nicely with an excellent spongy texture.
You know the frozen yogurt machines that have three handles, with two flavors on the outside and the middle one producing a swirled version of the two? That's what we tried to do with the frosting! It's the same process as with the batter: create a regular amaretto base, divide it in half, and add cocoa powder to half to get the chocolatey look. To achieve the swirl, you just fill a piping bag with the two frostings, one on each side.
Yum… this had some great flavor and texture going on.

Dear Friends
We've shifted seismically as a nation over this past short while.
And it's definitely 'shift' more than 'drift'. It's been deliberate, planned, intentional: a marked and calculated shifting of the great 'tectonic plates' which form the world-view and the outlook of our nation's life.
We have shifted, with what is in truth a dramatic and dangerous speed – we have shifted from being a people who were anchored in the Book to being a people who have not just gone and wantonly weighed anchor but who've recklessly gone and chucked the thing away.
As a society we have carefully, consciously, and with a wholly miss-placed confidence, moved away from an outlook on life and a pattern of living which had prevailed for hundreds of years – an outlook on life and a pattern of living which was indebted to God, informed by the truths of the Bible, and infused with the grace of the gospel.
There's been a cultural earthquake: these huge tectonic plates which form the bedrock of a nation's life, the great foundational premises on which a people's life is built, these plates have shifted.
One of the tell-tale signs of this seismic shift has been the move towards the litigating mindset of a compensation culture, and the speed with which an attitude of blame's become the standard, first-stop stance which we adopt.
That's invariably, and inevitably, what happens when the gospel of grace is dispensed with, and the tenets of Scripture are scorned. When we cease to walk humbly with God, as the ancient prophet Micah would have said, when we cease to walk humbly with God then the delicate balance in national life of our acting with absolute justice while retaining as well a perspective informed by God's grace – that delicate balance is lost, and our thinking and living gets skewed.
A scapegoat-seeking, finger-pointing attitude of blame becomes the default stance society adopts: and a selfie-taking, "I'm-the-one-who's-suffered" sort of victim-like mentality (in a general rather than in any more technical sense) becomes the prevalent self-assessment people hold.
No-one to my knowledge has done a study on this theme: but my guess is that there'll be some correlation between the ditching by a nation of a biblical perspective and the simultaneous rise within that nation of this 'compensation culture' and its fruits.
Sometimes, of course, both blame and compensation are important and required. Crimes are committed and damage is willfully done. Walking humbly with God means we will indeed act justly: no blind eyes will be turned: high and low, rich and poor alike, will be equally subject to their just desserts. But such processes of justice will always be accompanied by an attitude that's characterized by mercy.
Indeed, it was surely precisely because our land was the land of the Book, its world-view and life both informed (however imperfectly) by the truths of the Bible and infused (again however imperfectly) with the gospel of grace – it was surely precisely because that was so that our distinctive legal system was itself so highly esteemed: the 'act justly, love mercy' balance of a nation intent on walking in humility with their God ensured that such a system worked so well.
But we choose now as a nation not to walk with God: and that balance has been lost. Instead now our first port of call as often as not is to point a blaming finger, and to seek, where we can, a bulky compensation package.
But it's a flawed and complex world in which we live! Disasters take place. Accidents happen. Catastrophes sometimes occur.
Wild fires break out across the parched and wooded slopes of southern Greece. Boats carrying hundreds of refugee people capsize in the seas of the Med. Typhoons destroy massive swathes of a far eastern land. Tower blocks go up in flames. Half-built dams are breached releasing torrents of destructive power.
And what happens on the larger, louder canvas of the nations of the world is paralleled precisely on the canvas of our own more personal experience. Accidents happen. The bottom falls out of our world. An illness afflicts us severely. An injury comes out of the blue. Disappointments blind-side us completely.
Things don't always go right – sometimes, indeed, they go horribly wrong. And rarely do they all go to plan. That's just the broken-down and complicated world in which we live.
And that's where our world-view and outlook kicks in. Because when we've lost our solid, steady anchorage in Christ, our instinct when such hard, unwelcome trials come our way is to take up the cudgel of blame.
Take the Grenfell Tower and what happened there. The block goes up in flames – a wretched, frightening, near apocalyptic spectacle: and for those involved a nightmare now become reality. But hardly have the fires been doused than (with blame as the default response) the question's inevitably asked: who's to blame?
The architects? The builders? The contractors? The council? The town planners? The tentacles of blame reach far and wide. Even the fire-men and women, who risked their very lives to douse the fires and rescue those within – perhaps even they are to blame.
Blame is our natural default response in the face of anything 'bad'.
You see exactly that in all the down-to-earth and very honest narratives we find across the pages of the Book.
Remember the man born blind, whose remarkable story is told in the gospel of John? The disciples of Jesus had still got a whole load to learn when it came to their walking with God and their living the new life of grace. And their opening gambit is way off the mark (John 9.2): it's the language and outlook of blame they adopt. Who is to blame? is the question they think needs an answer. The man? His parents? The system? The Lord?
And Jesus has to correct them. Wrong sort of question, He says. That's not a land of the Book sort of question: that's a jungle warfare sort of line.
It's exactly the same with poor old Job, is it not, in the wake of the disasters which have come his way? His friends, when they finally can't hold their tongue any more, are all pointing the finger of blame.
(It's classic 'Sound of Music' theology they're propounding really. You remember that song in 'The Sound of Music' – "For here you are, standing there, loving me, Whether or not you should. So somewhere in my youth or childhood I must have done something good..". It's bad, appalling theology: but the so-called friends of Job are singing the B-side of that very song: 'so here you are, Job, sitting there, battered, bereaved, and now beset with terrible sores – so somewhere in your past you must have done something bad.')
Blame. It's the stance we most naturally choose when confronted by the harsh and sore realities of life within this flawed and fallen world.
We'll sometimes blame others. Sometimes it's only ourselves we will blame. And sometimes, of course, it is God we will blame. But blame is the name of our game.
See where it leads, though. Blaming others will lead to an angry and festering resentment: blame yourself and that over time breeds a lingering guilt and despair: blame God and a stubborn, defiant unbelief will slowly grow.
Do you see what's really going on then when we've ceased to be a people of the Book? Blame is what's left when we cease to be rooted in Scripture and lose the perspective of grace. Faith, hope, and love have disappeared: and unbelief, despair, resentment now move in, like a sordid crowd of squatters in our hearts and in our land, and take their place.
So how are we meant to respond when such wretched things take place? Because sooner or later, in one way or another, they will take place – often very suddenly, usually unexpectedly, and most times with a trailing sting of grief, pain and perplexity: welcome to a fallen world.
Blame is not the line down which our questioning must go. For one thing, blame always ends with 'me' (spell it and see): point the finger and you've three other fingers pointing right back at yourself.
No. There are two main alternative routes down which we are to steer the surging torrent of emotions which catastrophes create.
First, it would seem, we are meant to be asking – are there things we can learn from these wretched events, from these terrible trials? It may not be the language which we'd choose for Him to speak, but what is God saying through it all?
There was a tower block disaster in Jerusalem back in Jesus' day: and news as well of a quite horrific massacre (Luke 13.1ff). Jesus steered the people right away from any instinct which they might have had to blame, and pointed them rather to what they'd do well to be learning. Life is fragile, grace is available, make sure that you're sorted with God.
When our world is informed by the truth of God's Word and our outlook infused with the gospel of grace, then we're learners more than anything: and not litigators.
But there's a second line of questioning as well to which we're always pointed by the Lord. How can we best take things on from this point for the glory of God?
The man born blind is .. well, blind. That's just where he is right now, and no matter how much you debate who's to blame, you'll not thereby change things at all. Blame is the wrong sort of question: it burrows away in a past which you cannot undo.
The world of grace, by contrast, has the future as its focus and the cross of Christ its centre-point. It understands that God can take the darkest and most wretched sort of circumstance and use it as the platform for a mighty demonstration of His glory and His grace.
Joseph back in Egypt, it was evident, had learned that lesson well. He'd been through the mill; but just at the point where his brothers expected that blame would be how he'd react, Joseph is focused on how their great God had turned this whole thing on its head and through it all was "saving many lives" (Gen.50.20).
That's to do with world-view and with attitude. Faith believes in advance what can only make sense down the line. So how do we take this circumstance on in a way that will glorify God? That's how Jesus instructed His friends in regard to the man who was blind (see John 9.3).
That's how we learn to be careful ourselves to respond to the trials there are. And that's how we learn to support one another in the face of the struggles we face.
God's in the business of "saving many lives" (Gen.50.20): God has come down to rescue us (Ex.3.8): Jesus is the Saviour, the cross the path He trod. In following Him, the shadow of that cross will never be that far away in one form or another: but through the pains and griefs which all the darkness of that shadow-land will bring, we choose by faith to see that He's intent on 'saving many lives'.
We pray to that end – for ourselves, for each other – desiring that somehow or other His power will be gloriously displayed in the 'weakness' we are called by Him to embrace. And we encourage one another to that end as well, and (as I was saying last month in regard to Jonathan's care for his friend) we seek in this way to strengthen each other in God.
As the 'tag-line' which we use here for the Great Aberdeen Run will say, 'Glory awaits'. We run the race with that knowledge impressed on our hearts. Glory awaits, a glory with which all the suffering and sorrow the present may bring is simply not worth comparing.
Yours in the Lord Jesus Christ,
Jeremy Middleton

The Curious Geometry Of The Petrie Home
Someone informed us we needed to bury St. Joseph the wrong way up in the backyard. He was supposed to help promote the home. I believe he actually labored on the primary home. It offered soon after we put him within the floor. I'll carry your suggestion to my husband's attention. Our fundamental downside is the house is inbuilt four sections, all of which have the capability to cause a leak at the seams. Then this is compounded by a foul mixture of concrete. The concrete firm was sloppy or too hasty in mixing the concrete. We are always fascinated by finding a good cover for the house. We eliminated the paneling from a toilet wall and discovered that a nasty mix of concrete had been hidden underneath the paneling. After elimination, water began leaking from a 12 or thirteen inch long house that had little cement in it. It was just dry rocks. Thanks for reading and making your solutions. They are all the time appreciated.
Fun truth: the pizza Chunk is pressing up against the bowling alley window was placed to strategically cover the McDonald's sign that reflected from across the street. Pleased Misplaced Sock Memorial Day – you and I know the fairies accumulate them for sleeping baggage throughout woodland camping trips! I think in this economic system it is pretty apparent that not everybody can get a job. So considering that is the solution to homelessness (regardless of whether it is even a factor) is for individuals to 'just get a job' is naïve at the very least. Great lens. You have performed a fantastic job on making us all perceive homelessness a bit higher on your lenses.
In March 2007, with the home empty however still owned by Yang, a judicial deadline was laid down for the couple to give up the fight. They had been up in opposition to the might of each the developers and the courts. But on 21st March, Yang climbed again up the mound – for that was now the only method to get in – and re-entered his home. Wu Ping introduced him meals and water and blankets, and tied them to a rope for Yang to haul up. The couple also fought back against authority with a nice line in public relations. First Yang showed his patriotism by raising a Chinese flag over the house, and then Wu performed press conferences for the media. Some locals were sympathetic to the couple, and on Chinese language social media websites, as much as eighty five% showed assist. At one level the couple rejected a compensation offer of about 3.5 million yuan ($453,000).
Very good lens. You've got nice data on the right way to cease this problem among cat homeowners. It could be be very amusing in the event that they'd managed to Photoshop in a scene from Avatar on the display screen within the media room. Apparently, my boss had referred to as my house number at lunchtime to ask if I anticipated to be again in work on Tuesday, as my absence had precipitated some issues. There was a relatively small workers on the newspaper and being one person down made a giant difference. Should you stare long enough, you discover he's gasp attractive! However you have to make investments time to like him.
Simply wanted to reassure anybody out there who's experiencing unusual issues taking place to them. No, you aren't going insane! It's the same old blocks in the power circulation that happen when both Saturn and Mercury are retrograde. Mercury will go ahead across the twenty fourth, however Saturn has a couple of more months till it resumes ahead movement. This vitality at all times feels, to me, as if it is going in a circle, and not forward. Many uncommon things happen during this transit!!! On his way out of city, the narrator on this 2010 tune stops to take a picture in his thoughts's eye. He's in his hometown, and all of the memories resonate with him. Regardless of how far he has traveled, he hasn't matched the depth of the friendship, old flame, and enjoyable occasions supplied by his hometown. He keeps returning, hoping to recapture a number of the recollections. Some issues, nonetheless, had been meant to remain recollections.

Data vs. Intelligence - How to approach the stunning amount of data in the world to succeed in your business or your career
We live in a world of massive amounts of data. You've likely heard the term "Big Data" many times before, but it's far beyond this and you probably don't have a full grasp of how amazing our modern and connected world (mainly the developed 1st world) is today.
In the year 248 AD, Rome celebrated its 1000th anniversary - it had been 1000 years since the founding of Rome. More data is created in one year today than was created in those 1000 years of the Roman Republic and Empire. This is an astonishing fact that should bring a sense of awe to every intelligent and curious person - humanity is creating absolutely vast amounts of all kinds of data today.
What kind of data?
Here are just a few examples of the kinds of data creation that take place every day - that takes place very second every second:
The list above is meant to be broad in order to demonstrate the broad swath of things from which data is created today. Data can be created by governments or big corporations, but data can just as easily be created by small businesses and individuals during their everyday tasks and processes.
The above list is just a tiny example - almost anything remotely automated or electronic creates some sort of data today.
A Key Question
If we have an exponentially larger amount of data today than in the past, why aren't we exponentially smarter today as a society? Sure, the size of our economy as measured by GDP or GNP is much larger than at any point in history, but we can still see that we haven't moved that far way from past societies and civilizations in terms of the things that are most important to humanity.
Going further, why aren't businesses incredibly smart if we have so many data available? So many small and medium sized businesses today still operate under the same paradigms as businesses of the past. The problem is that even though there are tremendous amounts of data (and easy ways to collect more), the data isn't being productively used. The data is just sitting there. It's easy to collect data - it's hard to use it effectively.
What you really need isn't data - it's intelligence. You don't need a data dump on your hard drive or a stream of data flowing in at many GBs a second - you need to know how to turn whatever data you do have (hopefully it's quality data) into intelligence. This is what the human mind does - it turns raw data from sensory inputs into intelligence via the brain.
To better illustrate the importance of intelligence and the inadequacy fo data alone, let's imagine a fictional scenario. Imagine giving an ancient hunter-gatherer tribe all of the data available today on a giant supercomputer. Of course, they won't be able to access that data, but let's ignore that for a second and imagine that SOMEHOW that ancient tribe could in fact access all of this vast data. Do you think that things would really change for that tribe? It is likely that the tribe would be incapable of utilizing the data in any way and creating any actionable intelligence from it - they wouldn't have either the mathematical/statistical sophistication to extract much meaning from it and they wouldn't have the background landscape required to absorb and process the data in appropriate and meaningful contexts.
The Definition of Data
Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines data as follows:
1. factual information (as measurements or statistics) used as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or calculation <the data is plentiful and easily available — H. A. Gleason, Jr.> <comprehensive data on economic growth have been published — N. H. Jacoby>
2. information output by a sensing device or organ that includes both useful and irrelevant or redundant information and must be processed to be meaningful
3. information in numerical form that can be digitally transmitted or processed
We define data in simpler terms:
Data are discreet units of information that provide some evidence of something in the real world
Data isn't something complicated. Although we might take a technological slant in our mind when thinking about data today, data can come in many forms. Data can be written on a stone tablet, on a piece of papyrus, on a piece of paper, or by tying knots using a string to keep track of things. Data can come in magnetic form as on credit cards. Data can come from CDs and DVDs or data can be stored on a flash drive. Data isn't technological - data is just information but technology has helped us gather and store vast amounts of it.
One of the key features of data is that it gives us some sort of information about the real world. This is due to the fact that data arises from the real world. The only way data can be created is by somehow recording some aspect of the outside world in some sort of storage mechanism. That mechanism might be robust or it might be fragile, it might be high advanced or primitive, but it has to (at least for a time) store some sort of information that is somehow derived from the real world.
Data that has no basis in or relationship to the real world is utterly useless for the purposes of using it to create value and making more effective decisions. Imagine a set of data that is just made up randomly - a random list of customer data that includes totally made up random numbers for purchase amounts, transaction IDs, customer contact information, items or services purchased, customer acquisition methods, discounts applied, and satisfaction surveys. How could a business use this made up data in any meaningful and purposeful way? They couldn't. This data would be of use to no one because no amount of technical knowledge or manipulation would yield anything positive - you cannot derive anything from it. In effect, it's "garbage in, garbage out" with data.
Intelligence, in the sense we're discussing here, is the use of data in effective ways to achieve valuable (whatever that means) goals and objectives in the real world.
What sort of goals are we talking about? They can be any goal that is worthwhile:
Most worthwhile goals are achieved through a combination of effort and intelligence - effort alone is not always enough because you need to put your effort int he right direction. Of course, intelligence alone is useless without the effort to use it also - but intelligence s the seed from which our goals can be productively and effectively achieved.
Intelligence is what sets humans apart in some ways from the other beings that inhabit the world we find ourselves in. Although lots of animals are intelligent in some ways, they're not as intelligent as us. We can use complex models of the world to make decisions - this is why we are the dominant species.
Intelligence is the stuff that builds bridges, building, and apps. Intelligence is what wins battles in war and battles in the boardroom. Intelligence is what allows you to outperform in life and in business - it's what can set you apart in the battlefield of business and make that customer come through your doors or visit your website or download your app instead of your opponents'.
Data vs. Intelligence
Data and intelligence are two different but interrelated things. Data is used in order to obtain intelligence. Or, stated another way, you need data if you're going to have some sort of intelligence.
Intelligence doesn't just arise out of nowhere. The kind of intelligence that is useful (the productive kind of intelligence that helps with making effective decisions int the real world) is based on data. Therefore, intelligence and data are not two different but similar things, they are two very different things with one being required fro the other. It's like water and oxygen - you need oxygen atoms to make water, but water and oxygen are far from the same thing. Just as with oxygen and water, you need data to have intelligence, but intelligence is far more than just data - it's using data to create an understanding of the world.
Intelligence can exist in many forms. It can mean knowing your:
Intelligence can also mean knowing things there aren't specific numbers, but are more comparative in nature - things such as:
Intelligence can also be binary - it can include things like:

The Big Year – Part 2: Forging a Partnership
With my sights set on a new alpine route in Alaska in the spring, I needed a partner I could trust and could also commit to the time off. I scrolled through my black book and landed on Canadian crusher Alik Berg. Thing was: we had never climbed together. He recommended we do a trial run on his home turf of the Canadian Rockies. So I loaded up the Chevy van and pointed north once again.
On arrival to Canmore Alberta, located 20 minutes east of Banff, I was immediately very intimidated by how massive the peaks were looming on all sides of me. Wow, I thought, this is the Yosemite of Alpine climbing!
After climbing the classic The Day After Le Vacances du Monsouir Hulot on the Stanley Headwall, Alik proclaimed we were ready for a real Alaska warm up. He held up a black and white photo with a line going up a mountain. "What do you think?" he asked. I saw what looked like 3000 feet of steep snow up to a rock head wall of about a 1000 feet. I thought to myself: Sure why not, we will figure it out.
"Sure man looks cool," I said.
With heavy packs and back country skis, we departed the car on Feb 25th with a solid weather forecast. The seven mile skin in was beautiful; big trees with a deep pine fragrance. Tracks of moose and other critters dotted the trail. We left our skis at the base and strapped our crampons on. To our good fortune, the snow on the lower portion of the route was solid neve and we made quick time to the headwall. Two pitches of M5-M6 brought us to our bivy platform on the first snow band. Cuddling up in my bag I was feeling strong and confident.
"Man looks really steep up there" Alik announced. "I bet its really run out. We will be lucky to get any pro." I inquisitively peeked out of my snug bag. It was at this point that Alik started to regale me with all of the tremendous lore of the route. "Its turned back close to a dozen parties in winter, only the legend Raphael Slawniski with Ben Firth have managed it. One guy degloved his hand trying, the legend Steve House fell 80 feet and broke his pelvis."
"Dude," I feverishly announced, "stop talking, your freaking me out!" Luckily, exhausted from the days efforts, I managed to doze off for a few hours of sleep.
We awoke early and started climbing just before sunrise. We climbed 1200 feet of spectacular 5.10 limestone with ice tools and crampons. The exposure was magnificent and the climbing was genuinely fun and took gear well. The winter conditions had frozen all the loose bits in place, and we both agreed it should be a modern mixed climbing classic!
That night I spilled a half-liter of Gatorade in my sleeping bag, and had a proper freak out with the sub zero temps! Alik, cool and calm, said, "dude chill, its gonna be fine" I knew then and their Alik would be a great future climbing partner. The following day we summited and had an amazing panorama of the Canadian Rockies. It was news to us we had made the second winter ascent. http://www.alpinist.com/doc/web15w/wfeature-mt-temple-history-winter-ascent. We began to make plans for Alaska.
Returning to Alik's house and standing in the hot shower with a beer in hand, I felt the warm water soak into my bones and I had a deep sense of satisfaction. I was happy that 20 years of constant dedication to a sport I loved was finally paying off. That we had just completed a rather difficult climb with great joy, confidence and enjoyment. Sure, we suffered. But with out the suffering, the shower and soft bed would not feel nearly as good. I relished in my worn, fatigued and battered body.
Two days later I said good by to Alik and the Canadian Rockies, and packed the van up to head south back to Bozeman, Montana. I was slated not only to assist but also to participate in the Sierra Club veterans ice climbing week in Hyalite hosted by Montana Alpine Guides.
Volunteering has taught me one thing. I never regret doing it! Every time I put others before myself it feels incredible. I get back double what ever I put into it. It is medicine for the soul in more ways than one. I cant explain the psychology of it, but for me it works wonders. As a veteran myself of three tours in Afghanistan as a Air Force Pararescuman, I find great solace and personal healing when helping other vets get out side and into the wilderness. We share a common bond, a common thread. The intrinsic team work the 12 of us shared was unforgettable during this 5 day ice climbing course.
Clinics, Comps, and Top 10 Finishes at Ouray Ice Fest
Each January, we circle the Ouray Ice Festival on our calendars. It's a yearly favorite that affords us the opportunity to climb ice, connect with the climbing community, and talk about our favorite subject: climbing gear. This year was no different and we were more excited than usual due to our upgrades to the Raptor Ice Tool.
Trango athlete Marcus Garcia led a day-long seminar at Ouray Ice Park introducing participants to the fundamentals of ice climbing. Here, he demonstrates the finer points of one tool technique in the South Park area.
After the clinics and some climbing of our own, we gathered to watch the competitors in the elite mixed comp. It did not disappoint! Here, Marcus works his way through the lower section of the route toward the difficult upper section complete with crack system.
On Saturday, Marcus climbed his way to a top 10 finish in the speed comp. Ouray never disappoints and this year was as impressive as ever. Congratulations to Marcus for a strong showing and thanks to everyone who dropped by our booth, demo'd a pair of Raptors, or joined Marcus for the intro seminar!
The Raptor!
I am not an ice climber….well, I have now gone, liked it, and I will most certainly go again!
My first experience was years ago with an acquaintance. I wasn't quite sure what he was looking for, but we hiked around a lot up the Lawn Lake Trail. I never took my tools off the pack, even to this day I have no idea what moderate ice we might have been looking for. Oh well.
|All Mixed Up, Thatchtop Mt., RMNP
My second experience, was this November a few weeks after my whipper in Zion. My experienced friend was very patient while I gimped up the trail, and even more caring when we stopped at the base of All Mixed Up to gear up and my feet were already frozen. After attempting to warm them, feed me, hydrate me, dance around, we ended up turning around.
What a sissy!
I am from Minnesota, I used to tolerate the cold so well. Wow, too many winters chasing eternal fall!
My third experience was just after Thanksgiving and it went swimmingly. Granted I borrowed warmer, more appropriate, boots.
The three of us, 2 non-experienced ice climbers and a third who had previously climbed at our desired destination, Hidden Falls. We had a leisurely breakfast, drove to Wild Basin in Rocky Mountain National Park, strapped on the packs, and wandered down the road, now winter trail, west.
Then we wandered down the road east, back tracking. We wandered a short trail parallel to the road for awhile. Then we wandered about another pull-out and trail. Finally, we wandered further west definitively. Our third, "leader", didn't quite remember how far to wander the road, where Hidden Falls might be hidden, and surely didn't even know what day it was.
All in good fun. We arrived, just as another pair of climbers was hiking out.
Perfect. Place to ourselves.
I just top-roped, but messed around with dry-tooling (which I had done before last winter in the Cascades), but I also got to climb a few pitches of just ice.
I was enjoying my new ice tools, and the boys were also enjoying my new ice tools. The Trango Raptors saw 8-10 pitches on their first day out. These nice tools have an aggressive pick, are quite light, and have an excellent grip. I really enjoyed the grip set up, allowing me to switch hands comfortably, gripping above the standard grip location was equally as comfortable and easy.

America and the Orient
1. Edition, 2006
370 Pages
Product: Book
Edition: Hardcover
Subject: Anglistik/Amerikanistik
Series: American Studies – A Monograph Series, Volume No.: 130
Available: 19.05.2006
Literatur, USA, Geschichte, Kongress, Orientbild, Mannheim (2004), Orientalism, Islam, USA Nationalbewusstsein, Orientalismus, amerikanisches Orientbild, Said, Edward, Huntington, Samuel
In the aftermath of 9/11, fearful images of the Orient as a volatile blend of religious extremism and anti-western politics have flourished in the United States and Europe. Yet Orient and Occident are interrelated cultural formations. This interdisciplinary volume explores the rich history of cultural and political exchange between Arab, South Asian, and American cultures from the 18th century to the present. Nineteen original essays, which were first presented at the 51st conference of the German Association for American Studies, address the emergence of Arab American literature, intercultural encounters in the works of Arab, Arab American, and South Asian American writers and artists, and the Orient as a geographical region as well as a foil for American self-definitions in U.S. literature, opera, and film. Revisiting the work of Edward Said and Samuel Huntington, the collection examines how we develop our knowledge and fantasies about the Orient.

Just joined the board, was wondering if anybody
on here is from NY area or nearby and planning on
attending the Peter Murphy concert this Sunday
in E. Williamsburg, Brooklyn at this new venue
called The Well. I'll be there for sure.
I saw the thread from last year's tour 2011
on here so figured there have to be some fans
left on here from NY-CT-NJ-LI areas. There
wasn't much response on the Roll Call Peter
Murphy board most of those folks are from out
in L.A. or elsewhere than NY it appears.
if anybody is up for hanging pre-show I'm game!
They're also offering $80 VIP meet-and-greet tickets
but you have to order special from the regular tickets
via the venue's page The Well or via link from
Peter's official web site. This is described
as an "intimate" venue tour to finish off the 2011
tour promoting the album Ninth, and starts
at 4-5 p.m. early show with at least two opening
acts who I am not familiar with at all.
I saw Peter twice last year and the second show
in Huntington, Long Island at new venue The Paramount
was ABYSMAL, terrible opening acts, terrible audio
issues all night, and no encores and no audience,
since the place only sold about 180 tickets at best
for Peter. Let's hope the Brooklyn show is a million
times better than THAT debacle.

There are certain challenges inherent in modern-day attempts by experts when it comes to deciding on a definition of "Achaemenid toreutics". The production of such artefacts spans in a timeline of nearly two and a half centuries and the locations where they have been found are all across the Middle East, the eastern Mediterranean, southern Russia, and the Caucasus. On top of this, the rich assembly of metal utensils, vases, and other pieces makes it even harder for someone to arrive at a strong definition. They are made of different materials, arrive in various styles, derive from varying workshops, and often have unknown or uncertain provenance. However, all of these small uncertainties surely make the exploration of artefacts even more intriguing.
Same is the case with this silver phiale that is part of the popular Vasil Bojkov Collection. The richest Bulgarian certainly has an affinity towards antique art and culture, for his privately owned assembly is among the world's top collections ever known.
This particular phiale we are looking at is of the Achaemenid type due to its carinated shape and reportedly derives from Thrace. What is typical for this design is the joined rounded base to the sides of an inward sloping vases or amphorae. As we can see, the vase has chased and chiseled details. Its convex lower body is covered by 88 hypnotizing radial flutes. Punched arcs connect the roots of those flutes and a three-petal motif (supposedly a stylized lotus flower) is visible between their tips. Graffiti of three Greek letters are somewhat awkwardly carved under the omphalos. Most probably, this inscription refers to the owner of the phiale who is more likely to be either a Lydian or Thracian rather than Greek.
Interestingly, there are five parallel pieces that are almost exact as the VBC example – one derives from Thrace, two from Gökçeler Köyü and the Ikiztepe tumulus in Lydia, one of unknown origins in Madrid, and one in the art market. There might be some differences, such as the lack of tongue collar around the omphalos on the Ikiztepe piece or the presence of a row of beads on the Gökçeler Köyü example, but all of them (including the silver phiale from Vasil Bojkov Collection) share the same overall conception, style, as well as dimensions. Not to be mistaken though, this varying combination of tongue collar, beads, the lack or not of an omphalos, and the horizontal flutes which we see on the aforementioned six vases, do not signify a chronological evolution. Instead, such elements can be interpreted as creative variations of one and the same local workshop which additionally confirms the provenance of the pieces from the same place.
In conclusion, all six phialai could be dated to somewhere between the end of the 6th century BC and the first quarter of the 5th century BC. As stated before, clearly defining what Achaemenid toreutics" may be a bit difficult for some people, while for others, that is what triggers their interest even more. And even though there are toreutic assemblages that are made by craftsmen within the empire, there is an abundance of pieces produced by toreuts who were Greeks, Lydians, Thracians, Iberians and others.

A helicopter crashed into a home in a suburban Californian street after taking off, killing three people and injuring two others.
The four-seat Robinson R44 went down at about 1.45pm local time yesterday in a gated-community in Newport Beach, 72km south-east of Los Angeles, authorities have confirmed.
The injured people were taken to hospitals but their conditions were unknown.
Fire Chief Chip Duncan confirmed the deaths and injuries but could not say if the people killed were aboard the aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration said four people were on the helicopter.
A neighbour who heard the crash told KCAL-TV that he saw the pilot lying injured but alive on the grass and three other people inside the wreckage.
"We tried to pry them out but we didn't want to touch them," the neighbour said.
"We didn't want to take a chance of hurting anybody.
"The three people were all crunched in there together. One I could see moving an arm."
Marian Michaels, who lives behind the house that was struck by the helicopter, said her house shook when the crash happened.
"There was no fire," she said.
"It looked like they were trying to land in the street but clipped the roof across the street and didn't make it."
Ms Michaels said the house that was hit was for sale and she saw the owners talking to firefighters.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor said the aircraft had taken off from John Wayne Airport.
The crash took place two days after a small plane heading toward the airport made a night-time emergency landing on a nearby freeway. The pilot and passenger were not injured.
The pilot, Israel Slod, said the engine of the Beech G33 suddenly died as the plane was enroute from San Diego to the airport.
