I started this thread last fall when we were averaging about one "fiber cut" every eight days:»[IL] Three Outages in 3 Weeks in Southern IL? What's going on?And they've just announced another one, says we'll be down 8 hours total. Is there anyone on the MediaCom side who can explain why this happens so frequently in this area?Also, can somebody on that end explain why the support phone lines go down when it happens (you get a "This number cannot be completed as dialed" as soon as there's an outage).
Looking at twitter it seems that it is a multi-state outage.Why it happens? Who knows but my guess is that it isn't actually a fiber cut but some other failure and they say 'fiber cut' just like we say 'kleenx' when asking for a tissue.The lines don't actually go down, if you listen to the calling error message all the way through (it'll play twice) it will play twice then you will hear the standard "Thank you for calling Mediacom..." message. They think it is better to make you think you misdialed the number instead of thinking you will be number 5000 waiting for the 3 CSR's handling calls.Either way it goes can't wait for Clearwave to finish up the fiber install so that 3rd parties can start selling it. Bonded DSL from Frontier is available to me already.
"Also, can somebody on that end explain why the support phone lines go down when it happens (you get a "This number cannot be completed as dialed" as soon as there's an outage)."Funny you mention that. I called 5 times got the same recording, so tried again, same thing I didn't hang up this time. I heard a echo like it was from a recording on speaker-phone, then 5sec of silence followed by "Some Mediacom customers are experiencing outage due to a confirmed fiber cut... ect".Things that make you go... "hmmm".
Seems like the net just (8:00) came back online for me.Funny how that 8 hour window was pretty precise
Granted, these fiber cuts suck and have been happening quite frequently. There is one thing you must remember when these do happen--it takes a long time to have them repaired. These are fiber optic cables with many extremely small fibers that require tight tolerances and skill to fix unlike traditional copper cabling.Another thing is that I doubt Mediacom has their own dedicated fiber line. They probably lease from another company and shared with many other companies and providers, and I would assume that company would be the one responsible for the fix.As much as I would love to blame Mediacom for these problems I don't think Mediacom has anything to do with these and probably don't have much control.
We own all the fiber inside a town that goes from the ONU out to the nodes and other locations on our network. A lot of the backhaul fiber is leased from other companies, however we are laying more and more of our own fiber. Also we connect to other companies that to provide the bandwidth for the internet. Rural areas have miles and miles of aerial fiber to connect the different areas together. Some individuals who enjoy cheap beer and firearms sometimes decide that snowshoes for maintenance loops, line weights to combat galloping, and splice cases make great targets for said guns after said beer.
yes but in those rural areas like mine mediacom could bury the cable. But instead are to cheap to do it. And you only have one backbone provider and thats ATT which for the life of me I dont understand why you only have one.Mediacom needs a fiber ring for redundancy.
There has been some discussion about redundancy before. As I understand it, some areas have redundancy and others don't. I believe that stated goal of Mediacom, at that time, was to always be looking at improving redundancy.edit: »Re: [IA] Massive Mediacom Net Outage? (Iowa)
yeah that post was 4.5 yrs ago they have really gotten far....
if your power drop is aerial so is the cable. if your power is underground so is the cable--I speak for myself, not my employer.
in my sub division its all buried. I'm talking from the headend to my town they could bury that if they wanted to. Frontier has so there is no reason mediacom could not.

We have been having these "fiber cut" issues up here in MN to. Just last night it was down for about 6 hours because of a "confirmed fiber cut", funny everyone else with other ISP's around here seemed to stay online. If it was such a regional backbone thing as the tech excused it as then why only affect one ISP and not everyone?But anyway... They need new cables if they are going to have a fiber cut every week... LOL
3rd parties will not be selling Clearwave Fiber here, there is already fiber in marion run but a local company......clearwave wants thier slice of the pie.....actually the WHOLE pie.....10 meg by 10 Meg clearwave is 500.00 a month I have already talked to them about it

Hanging Out at an Old Mollusk Processing Plant in Naples, Florida
In the heart of the older part of Naples, FL, an architectural remnant of the past has been turned into a haven for those looking for fresh local seafood and reasonably priced shopping. Tin City, a former clam and oyster processing plant, consists of two long, winding buildings with tin roofs (hence the name) that are filled with dozens of little stores selling everything from traditional souvenirs to home décor to perfume, and even Florida-made fruit wines at the Naples Winery. Sample some of the exotic flavors there before heading over to Riverwalk, an on-site seafood restaurant where patrons can sit outside and be entertained by passing boats and playful pelicans on the Gordon River. And before leaving Tin City, try to find the alligator statue that's painted like a chili pepper, one of many different colorful gators scattered throughout Naples.

Evansville High School Football Kicks Off This Weekend
The best time of the year (in my opinion) is upon us.
The best time of the year (in my opinion) is upon us.
During an post-game interview after his team won the Texas 5A Division II state title, Dekaney high school head coach Willie Amendola was taken down by an unmanned golf cart. Watch as the cart comes out of nowhere and plows into the coach and group of bystanders.
As a parent, you always worry that a day will come where your kids try to imitate something they've seen on TV or in the movies. I hope when that day comes, my son or daughter choose to something as awesome as this kid.

I made a few changes....used canned pumpkin which turned it a beautiful orange color (recommend about 1/3 can), used dried sage instead of parsley, which made it reminiscent of my favorite pumpkin (or butternut squash) ravioli with brown butter-sage sauce. Also added black pepper, and a bit more cheese. Good!

Carrie Oliver knows her beef. And luckily, she's one of my very good friends and loves to send me on happy beef adventures, including an Artisan Steak Tasting a couple of years ago and more recently an Artisan Burger Tasting, which I actually enjoyed even more.
If you've never heard of artisan beef tasting – in short – not all beef is created equal and USDA's way of judging quality of beef (prime, choice, select) is based on fat content – which in truth, has very little to do with flavor of beef.
What influences flavor even more than marbling is the breed of cattle, where they were raised, what they were fed and how they were treated. Can you imagine doing a burger tasting like you'd do a wine tasting? Flavors notes of parmesan, nutty, mushrooms, earthy, grassy, hay, etc. Carrie Oliver developed a flavor profile system for Artisan Beef that I think is absolutely brilliant because it considers all of the factors that affect flavor above, including information about the rancher themselves.
It's a blind taste test and we each recorded flavor notes and chose our favorite. At the end of the tasting, the artisan producers and information on the cattle was revealed.
Burger #1 was from Mettenberg Farm:
(click on the chart above for more detailed tasting notes)
and we did the same type of tasting notes for the remaining burgers – Satchel Creek from Kansas, Varner from Kansas and Elliott Ferris from Colorado.
If you'd like to do an Artisan Burger Tasting, start by heading over to Carrie Oliver's site where you can download tasting guides and a step-by-step.
I recommend trying each of the burgers naked at first (and honestly, the beef is so damn good that you might not even want anything else — even the bun!) I took a few bites of each burger as is, and then added lettuce, tomato and good mustard to each after recording my flavor profile notes.
In the meantime, I'll let Carrie take over and explain Artisan Burger Tasting to you herself! Enjoy! ~jaden
p.s. Artisan Burger Tasting or Artisan Steak Tasting is a great Father's Day idea! Carrie sells an Artisan Steak Tasting Kit – Four 10-12 oz. sirloins from 4 different artisan ranchers plus 2-day shipping and tasting kit is $85. Dad will love it more than the silly golf doo-hickey that he'll never use.
p.p.s. I love what Carrie is doing because she's a one-woman show in her business and determined to change the way people think about beef. And my kids love her too.
by Carrie Oliver
If I invited you an Artisan Burger Tasting, what would you expect? Unless you've read Jaden's post on one of my Artisan Steak Tasting events, my guess is that you'd come prepared to for a "smack down" between by multiple contestants, each trying to outdo the others with fancy buns, unique seasonings, and condiments like black truffles or foie gras or Cherokee Purple heirloom tomatoes.
As Jaden can attest, there are more interesting things to explore. Rather than rating a chef's ability to create a masterpiece of a burger, I'd like to invite you to have a tasting in which you focus on the flavor and texture of the beef itself. Think of it as like a wine tasting but with burgers from different farms or ranches, or what my I call MeatCamp.
First, let's back up a bit and talk about what is the difference between Artisan Beef and the regular stuff you find at large supermarkets, or what I call mystery meat.
Many people tell me that the steak or burger they ate this week wasn't as good as the week before. Most of us blame ourselves. "I bought the wrong steak." Or, "I cooked it wrong." And, "I left it in the refrigerator too long." That's what I used to tell myself for many years as well, until one day I learned that beef tasted different last week because IT WAS different.
I've spent the last several years researching the practices and standards that create differences, good and bad, in the beef that we eat. In doing so I created the designation "Artisan Beef" and am busy cataloging the farmers and butchers who have taken up Artisan Beef practices – or in some cases never abandoned them – and helping you find the good stuff, too. An Artisan Burger Tasting is a great place to start.
Think for a moment how beef is merchandised. When you go to the grocery store, whether it's produce or packaged goods you are presented with a huge variety from which to choose. On my last visit I counted 11 varieties of apples, 8 types of lettuce, 76 different tomato-based spaghetti sauces, countless flavors of potato chips and cheeses, and a selection of wines that would fit any budget, flavor preference, or occasion.
The typical meat counter offers a very different study. Chicken and pork come in different cuts of, well, chicken or pork. By and large, beef is sorted and sold by the amount of fat in it in. For ground beef, the grocery store I mention above offered lean, very lean, and ground chuck.
The truth is, the percentage fat in a burger doesn't tell you that much about the flavor or texture of that burger (which may come as good news for those of us who are concerned about counting calories). That's right, USDA Grade is nowhere near as important as we've been led to think.
Instead, in many ways, beef is just like wine. As wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes will typically taste different than wines made from Pinot Noir grapes, the same is true with beef. There are dozens if not hundreds of cattle breeds and crossbreeds spread across 750,000 farms and ranches in North America. Each has different characteristics, as with wine grapes.
Yet when you get to the supermarket shelf, the huge natural variety is all jumbled together and labeled as beef, or at best USDA Choice or nowadays, grass-fed beef. To me buying this mystery beef at the supermarket is like buying wine without a label or an apple without even knowing the color of its skin.
Artisan Beef, on the other hand, begins with a rancher/farmer and butcher who pay attention to practices that bring out the best flavors and textures in beef and also meet our growing desire for open pasture grazing, low-stress handling, and avoidance of growth hormones and preventative antibiotics.
Beyond the basics of good animal husbandry, flavor, texture, and overall quality are influenced by many factors, including but not limited to the following:
If you're not too familiar with wine, the principles with coffee or apples are the same. I strongly prefer tart apples such as Pippins, Braeburns, or Granny Smiths. I bet you have a favorite cup of java or apple variety, too.
So what does all this mean for the humble burger. Simply put, there's a world of flavors and textures of burgers out there just waiting to be discovered and you, your kids, and your friends will like some better than others. The best way to find out what you like is to start experimenting!
If you think a wine or chocolate tasting is fun, you're in for a real treat with an Artisan Burger Tasting. The trick is, just like any other food, you need to actually know what's on your plate if you expect to enjoy the same or similar flavor the next time.
First you'll need to find a few different sources of beef to include in your tasting. You are ideally looking to find farm- or ranch-specific beef and to know what kind of cattle they raised and how. (If this isn't practical, as a first step look for beef with a label that says it was raised without the use of added growth hormones or antibiotics and then try to find out as much as you can about the beef as possible.)
Ask the following and jot down the answers: the cattle breed or crossbreed (e.g. Hereford, Purebred Angus, Angus-Jersey Crossbreed, Charolais, etc.), the growing region, the specific diet, the aging technique used (dry-aging or wet-aging), and the name of the farm, ranch, or ranch group.
I would also ask what the % fat is in the burger. As many of you will know from reading my earlier posts, fat content makes far less of an impact on beef – especially in steaks – as one might otherwise think. But fat does carry some flavor, and in burgers it can also have an impact on mouth-feel. Some people describe this feeling as juicy; others find it filmy or oily. As part of your growing appreciation for burgers, you'll want to learn whether you prefer the feel of fat or not in your burgers.
Finally, this is a great opportunity to try grass-fed beef if you haven't already done so, so try to include at least one sample in your tasting.
You can use this as a guide.
You will often have the best luck at your local farmers markets, where the purveyors are highly likely to be able to answer your questions. You may even get to speak with the actual farmer!
Next, consider the butchers in your area: you may be lucky and find one or two who can proudly tell you the specifics like the name of the farm, the breed, the aging, and so on. Finally, while your supermarket or mass merchandising chain cannot typically give you the details of breed, diet, and so on, if that's where you usually buy your burger why not include it in your tasting?
If you are having trouble locating good sources in your area, send me an email – if I can help I will respond with some possible local sources. Also, when you find new and interesting sources of beef (or chicken, or pork), PLEASE send me an email so I can add them to my directory. I'm at Carrie AT oliverranch {dot] com.
Outside of the beef itself, the most important thing to have is a copy of my Artisan Beef Tasting Guides.
Artisan Steak Tasting Guide Note Paper:
The guide will help you and your friends and family compare the burgers from different farms or ranchers and take notes. It includes a list of flavors that you might find in beef and also helps you categorize each beef according to three basic, easy to understand criteria: Texture, Personality, and Impression. [downloadable guide]
To start, mark all plates and platters so you can keep track of which beef came from which farm throughout the tasting. If possible, I recommend you take the extra effort to plan a "blind" tasting, using a code to mask the identity of each beef until after the tasting is completed.
Next, make 1½ oz mini-burgers ("sliders") from each farm's beef. An ice cream scoop will be close enough if you don't own a kitchen scale. Be sure to diligently follow proper food handling rules throughout the process. Sprinkle each burger with a small amount of kosher salt or unflavored sea salt, and voila! You're ready.
Cook the patties on a grill or cast iron pans, keeping the beef from each farm separate from each other while cooking. The USDA recommends cooking the burgers until they reach an internal temperature of 160 F.
Place one patty from each farm onto individual serving plates in the exact same order for each person at your tasting. Serve immediately.
Ask your guests to read my Artisan Beef Tasting guide and then taste the burgers keeping notes as they go. I may be able to join you by Skype or phone, too, just let me. Choose one patty to start with, and then taste each burger in clockwise order and take notes. Ask tasters NOT to share their opinions or blurt out reactions that could spoil the experience for others. Taste now, share later.
If you like, have people taste the patties first unadorned and then again with condiments and or buns. But make sure to taste the beef on it's own, first, to get the full experience.
This is the best part, finding out what other people thought of each ranch's beef by reading aloud your tasting notes and then revealing your first, second, third, and fourth favorite. Remember, this isn't a "smack down." Rather than consider who "won" the tasting, I encourage you to learn what you like best and why, so you can buy more of good stuff!
You've stocked up on your favorite wine, cheese, chocolate, heck, even your laundry detergent. Why? Because you usually save money and you also have your trusty favorite around whenever you want it. The same is true for beef. If you find a beef you and your family love (or even if you have a split decision), I strongly encourage you to buy more from the same farm or ranch. The savings can be phenomenal, you'll know the people who produced your beef, and you can enjoy your preferred flavor of beef whenever you like.
I am always interested in learning about new, fabulous artisan farms, ranch's and butchers. You can volunteer to have me celebrate your tasting event on my Web site. How fun would that be? You can even use my easy survey form to send me your notes, just go to my tasting notes Rate Your Burger survey here. You'll also have a choice to join my newsletter so I can tell you about great sources of Artisan Beef (and if you're interested, pork, lamb, and poultry, too) and upcoming Meat Camp tasting events.

Artisan Steak Tasting Guide Note Paper:
Thank you for this wonderful post.
I personally think it is very important to know where the meat we eat comes from and how the cattle (pig or chicken) was raised, fed and treated. There is an unbelievable taste difference. Everybody should be well informed about the shocking world of factory farming. Our beef comes from my friends cattle that she raises at her farm here in Colorado.
I have attached a link for you and interested readers to find local sources in their area:
So pleased to see this story. In Ag college, we were asked to grade meat chiefly on appearance. We never fot to the cooked product…I always felt cheated! Excited Carrie is putting forth a system to identify flavors. Thanks Carrie and Jaden!
Hallelujah! and Hamburgers! This is so wonderful! Yes, folks don't even know (me included until recently) the amazing artisan meat that is available now. I live on the Olympic Peninsula and we have an amazing beef producer, grass fed AND finished: Clark Farms, Sequim WA. I invite readers to investigate the wonderful nutritional value of such a food. If the animal is grass finished, then the meat keeps it balance of omegas and it is as valuable as eating salmon! The eatwild web suggestion is an excellent source of info. Of course, it stands to reason that different animals would present differently. Many thanks for this expansive and beautiful post! I look forward to experiencing the taste test!
this is a great idea for an event. i love this post.
I think it's important for us to know where our meat comes from and what it went through before it goes through our digestive tract (uhh, sorry, got a little gross there) but not only do you get to know how it'd taste based on how it was raised, you'd be able to make a good economical, ecological and green choice.
This post was really interesting and informative! Thanks for posting it.
How fantastic to read a really thorough explanation. My husband would love this and I bet that burger tastings would really turn many people to care more about how their beef is raised. Thanks.
What a great post! I thought the only way to get a great cut of beef was to raise it yourself, take it to the slaughter house and by a huge deep freeze. Great info!
This post is full of all kinds of good information ~love it, Jaden. Fun dinner party idea too!
Wow, didn't thing beef could be so nuanced in flavor. Doesn't it lose some of its characteristics when it gets cooked? Either way, love the idea of artisan burgers. For me, I'd get overwhelmed by the variety and then I'd just mix them all for a super burger! LOL
WOW! this is an awesome post. I am on a search for the best burger in West Michigan these days so all this info was super useful. Thanks : D.
This post is so helpful…it's is all so new to me…such an eye opener…lovely post, Jaden and hope you have more like this
Three cheers for beef! I never really thought about it, but it makes sense that the different breeds play into the taste as well. I already have come to the conclusion that buying grass-fed, naturally raised beef generally tastes better to me, but it varies from one piece of beef to the next as to how much I love the flavor. I bet there's a difference in breeds going on, even with the same rancher. I have some questions to ask next time I purchase beef!
This is one of the most interesting posts I've read in a while! Thanks for the info.
This is a great post Jaden! I always buy local and grass fed but I admit that beyond that my knowledge of nuances is pretty limited. I love the idea of a burger tasting, now I'm curious to see if I can get this all together in time for the 20th!
This is an excellent post. Since my dad is a steak-and-potatoes kind of guy he will enjoy this very much!

Re:Open Standards, Not stupid plugins. (166 comments)
I guess that's the price you pay for deciding to ride the bleeding edge. When HTML5 reaches the Recommendation status perhaps the browser developers will concentrate on supporting it (the standard) rather than speculating on which of their proposed implementations will give "the bigger market share"/"scratch their biggest itch". Until then there will continue to be a lot dog-waving by the tails.
Oh wait... HTML 4 was a different dog, same leg action - but good developers worked with the differences.
Bleeding edge has a great view, but not everyone enjoys it e.g. nothing more annoying than listening to butthurt little boys that insist on riding bikes without seats.

Brinkley Gets Ugly in Divorce Battle
Guest Blogger DivorceWithDignity says: By choosing to make her divorce public, Christie Brinkley is damaging her children's future.
As America is glued to the Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook divorce proceedings, it's like they're watching a reality show. Cook says nannies raise the kids and that they watched porn together, while Brinkley and her lawyers have dragged his Internet porn obsession and preference for barely legal beauties into the spotlight. While it may seem like primetime entertainment, it hits close to home for me and my very painful split. I myself am a mother who went though a divorce with a man who behaved badly.
The major difference is, unlike Christie Brinkley, I didn't want to expose my children to the dark side of my husband's character or the hideousness of a messy divorce for a monetary gain or for sole child custody. By deciding to make her divorce public and creating the ensuing media frenzy, Brinkley has put her "woman scorned" status ahead of her children's well-being.
Her goal, it seems, is to humiliate her husband for his wrongs--and she has a lot to work with--and not protect her children. Does she really think Cook is a bad father? I don't think so, but in order to get back at him, she seems quite willing to use her children as pawns in her own ugly game. In my book, Cook, porn addictions and all, is severely flawed--but he's still their father. And the kids will always love him.
By trying to expose Cook for who he is, Brinkley has managed to expose herself as the less competent parent. What kind of example is she setting for her kids by publicly airing her dirty laundry across 500 channels 24/7?
For the sake of her children, I wish Christie would follow my own mother's advice. She would say, "Be a lady, bow out gracefully, and be a mother to your children."
Peter Cook did not lobby for a closed trial for the protection of his kids—he did it to save his own reputation.
It probably didn't need to be public, but ultimately it's important for his little girl to understand that her daddy does not respect women and has an unhealthy appetite for teenager girls. She needs to know better than to bring her friends around when the time comes.
Cook is obviously the loser in this deal. I hope the court's orders reflect that. He's not trying to get money out of her, is he?
How can you blame her for not wanting to expose this slime bucket of a husband of hers? Should he just be able to get away with it all. the cheating the porn and walk away as if nothing has happened??? He should pay by money and reputation.
But what about the children? aren't they more important than whether or not he "gets away with it?" what is it like for them having people start wherever they go? what will it be like for them to go back to school in the fall with all this dirty laundry out in the open?
What man does not like porn? why was Peter having an affair? could it be Christie was not satisfying her man?
Regardless Peter has lost already and dragging his name in the public makes her look like terrible because a mother should always protect her kids. Imagine if some school friend of the kids mentions this case to them…how will it affect them?
The man has suffered and has lost everything and as a father I would sacrifice money for the love of my children anytime. He deserves to have 50/50 custody because he did not fail as a parent but failed as a husband.
Its easy for a woman to point out the negative but why not try to figure why it got to this point.
"get away with it"? — exposing him to the public is revenge… not parenting. There's a reason she's been married so many times.
I totally agree with Joseph.
Porn is the awesome!
Gotta love your kids more than you hate the ex!
He's a scumbag
There are many, many marriages like this one that go down. She discovered he was cheating on her and that's the basis of the story. Their sexual preferences are really not that interesting to most of us out here. Most men love porn and most women don't.
These two are public figures unlike most of us out here who aren't. Their situation shows that there's "nuthin new under the sun". Just more celebrity smut…so who really cares about the parents??? The children will survive quite well…I was in THE SAME situation years ago …the children are just fine.
I agree with the post who said thier daughter needed to watch out and be concerned when she brought her friends around. Maybe this is what Brinkley is thinking about!! I am raising a tween girl now I know I would be concerned. He is seeing them way too young.
Joseph - It seems he married her for what her name could do for him in the first place. He had a 19-year-old girlfriend at the time he announced his engagement to Brinkley. I doubt marital fidelity was ever a high priority and I doubt that had anything to do with Christie's ability to satisfy him.
Why is it always the mothers responsibility. You say bow down gracefully and be a mother to your children. No I disagree why keep it hidden hes a scumbag and I'm sick and tired of men getting away with everything. Its a man's world, and then the mothers are left to raise the kids because they can't keep their **** out of their pants.
I don't think she needed to close the case. Its the truth. The guy is a jerk! And for people who suggest she wasn't satisfying her man, that is just rude. Its not our business what their sex life was… and what it was like or wasn't like isn't a good excuse for infidelity and an addiction to porn. That is a cop out and there is too much of these lame "excuses" these days. No one takes responisibility for their own actions.
He doesn't deserve the kids, she does. She may have bad taste in men, but the bad opinions of her are unwarranted.
children under no circumstances should be exposed to any behaviour of this sort. there is absolutly no benefit to it except confusing your kids and belittling yourself and husband…soon 2 be ex…he will always be their father and what we do in our personal time is our business, no one else's & definitly not kids!

Greater St. Louis Area Council: Boy Scouts of America
Site Links
Each year, the Boy Scouts of America celebrates the anniversary of the founding of the Scouting movement. The official birthday in February 8, and the entire month of February is designated as Anniversary Month.This is a time for each Cub pack, Scout troop, Varsity team, Explorer post, and Venturing crew to encourage its youth members and adults to celebrate what it means to be in Scouting and to show the public that Scouting is alive and well.TimetableNovember: Assign someone in your unit to be Anniversary Month chairman. Plan unit-level activities; review the council support package for ideas.December/ January: Continue planning activities; start promoting to members and parents.February: Anniversary Month - Final checks for activities.The opportunity for a youth member to display skills stimulates his pride in Scouting and encourages him to advance. Every unit is encouraged to participate in Anniversary Month activities, which can include unit-level activities; district-wide demonstrations; a religious service on either Scout Sunday, or Scout Sabbath, which begins on Friday at sundown and ends at sundown on Saturday, or some other activity.EventsThe Council Activities Committee is planning several council-wide events for Anniversary Month. These events will be designed to help our Scouting membership celebrate Scouting's Anniversary and to let the general public know about the Scouting program in our community. These events will include:
In addition to these council-wide activities, many districts will be planning district-wide Anniversary Month activities, such as a Pinewood Derby or District Hike. Visit your district's section of our website for specific information.If your pack, troop, team, crew or post has an activity or a display, we would like to recognize you with a ribbon for your unit flag or a display certificate. Please fill out and submit the Anniversary Month Application (PDF) to the Council's Activities Department and your recognition will be presented at your district roundtables. The Anniversary Month program offers a simple award for your unit to earn, but, more importantly, it is a chance to show off to our community all of the fun and good work we do as Scouts!

Complete Report for Honey Lake fault zone (Class A) No. 22
Brief Report ||Partial Report
Compiled in cooperation with the California Geological Survey
citation for this record: Adams, K.Kenneth, Sawyer, T.L., and Bryant, W.A., compilers, 1999, Fault number 22, Honey Lake fault zone, in Quaternary fault and fold database of the United States: U.S. Geological Survey website, http://earthquakes.usgs.gov/hazards/qfaults, accessed 09/22/2014 10:13 AM.
|These normal faults have been recognized for a long time (1885), but evidence for dextral strike-slip motion was first demonstrated in 1990. Dextral strike-slip strands of the Honey Lake fault zone are characterized by geomorphic evidence indicative of Holocene displacement. Geomorphic evidence of Quaternary displacement has not been documented along the Diamond Mountains range front, except at the southeastern end near Constantia, although well defined late Pleistocene shorelines parallel the range front and may obscure minor recent normal fault scarps. Although there has been detailed mapping of the faults, a study of offset late Holocene deposits exposed in a cutbank is the sole source of paleoseismic data.
This distributed zone of predominately northwest-striking dextral faults has (1) range-fronts that bound the southwestern sides of Dogskin Mountain and the Fort Sage Mountains, (2) intrabasin faults in Beddell Flat and Dry Valley, and (3) an intermontane fault that cuts through Seven Lakes Mountain and extends onto its northern piedmont. Because of similar strike and close proximity, faults at the southern end of the Honey Lake fault zone may be related to the northern end of the Southwestern Warm Springs Valley fault zone [1659]. In Nevada, range-front faults juxtapose Quaternary-Tertiary gravel and Quaternary alluvium against older bedrock. The intrabasin faults are expressed as lineaments and southwest- and north-facing scarps on Quaternary alluvium. The intermontane fault on Seven Lakes Mountain is expressed by a northwest-trending linear drainage that appears to be on strike with a northwest-striking fault on the northern piedmont. Reconnaissance photogeologic mapping and regional geologic mapping are the sources of data. Trench investigations and detailed studies of scarp morphology have not been conducted in the Nevada portion of the fault zone.
|Name comments
|The Honey Lake fault zone was first mapped by Russell (1885 #3549) in California and described by Diller (1908 #5173). Refers to faults mapped by Bonham (1969 #2999), Slemmons (1968, unpublished Reno map), Bell (1984 #105), Greene and others (1991 #3487), Nitchman and Ramelli (1991 #2551), and Garside (1993 #3600) on the southwest side of Dogskin Mountain and the Fort Sage Mountains, and in Honey Lake Valley and Bedell Flat; were it has been referred to as the Honey Lake fault zone (e.g., Wills and Borchardt, 1993 #3601; Jennings, 1994 #2878). Stewart (1988 #1654) referred to this as the Honey Lake fault.
Fault ID Comments:
Refers to numbers 60 (Honey Lake fault) and 63 (unnamed faults bordering Long Valley) of Jennings (1994 #2878), fault NE01 (Honey Lake fault) of Working Group on California Earthquake potential (1996 #1216), and fault S1A of dePolo (1998 #2845).
|County(s) and State(s)
|Physiographic province(s)
|Reliability of location
Compiled at 1:100,000 scale.
Comments: Fault locations in California are based on digital revisions to Jennings (1994 #2878) using original mapping by Grose and others (1989 #5132), Grose and Porro (1989 #5279), and Wagner and Saucedo (1990 #5130) at 1:62,500, and Wills (1990 #5129) at 1:24,000. In Nevada, fault locations are primarily based on 1:250,000-scale maps of Bell (1984 #105) and Slemmons (1968, unpublished Reno 1? X 2? sheet). The mapping by Bell (1984 #105) is based on photogeologic analysis of 1:40,000-scale low sun-angle aerial photography, supplemented with 1:12,000-scale aerial photography of selected areas, several low-altitude aerial reconnaissance flights, and field reconnaissance of major structural and stratigraphic relations. Mapping by Slemmons (1968, unpublished Reno 1? X 2? sheet) is based on analysis of 1:60,000-scale AMS photography transferred to mylar overlaid onto a 1:250,000-scale topographic map using proportional dividers. Additional faults were transferred from 1:250,000-scale map of Bonham (1969 #2999).
|Geologic setting
|This fault zone extends from northeastern California into northwestern Nevada. In California, the fault zone is broad and has two principal (strain-partitioning?) branches: (1) a range-bounding normal fault zone along the northeast front of the Diamond Mountains, and (2) a subparallel high-angle, dextral strike-slip fault zone 1 km to the east that crosses the floor of Honey Lake basin and northern Long Valley (Lydon and others, 1960 #5127; Wills, 1990 #5129; Grose and others, 1990 #5131). The total normal offset across the fault zone is at least 600 to 800 m as determined from the vertical separation of the Lovejoy Basalt (Wagner and others, 1989 #5174); more importantly, there may be as much as 10 km of dextral offset (Wagner and others, 1989 #5174).
In Nevada, the southeastern end of this zone becomes a distributed zone of predominately northwest-striking dextral faults that includes (1) range-fronts bounding the southwestern sides of Dogskin Mountain and the Fort Sage Mountains; (2) intra basin faults in Beddell Flat and Dry Valley; and (3) an intermontane fault cutting through Seven Lakes Mountain extending onto its northern piedmont (Slemmons, 1968, unpublished Reno 1? X 2? sheet, Bonham, 1969 #2999; Bell, 1984 #105). Because of similar strike and close proximity, faults at the southern end of this group may be related to the northern end of the Southwestern Warm Springs Valley fault zone [1659].
|Length (km)
|98 km.
|Average strike
|Sense of movement
Comments: Dextral movement is documented across Honey Lake basin and Long Valley, whereas normal movement is found along the front of the Diamond Mountains (Wills, 1990 #5129; Grose and others, 1990 #5131; Slemmons, 1968, unpublished Reno 1? X 2? sheet, Bonham, 1969 #2999; Nitchman and Ramelli, 1991 #2551).
| 52° SW to vertical
Comments: Based on several fault planes that cut Holocene alluvial deposits exposed in a cutbank of Long Valley Creek [site 22-1] on the California part of the Honey Lake fault zone (Wills and Borchardt, 1993 #3601)
|Paleoseismology studies
|Site 22-1. Paleoseismic studies along the Honey Lake fault zone by Wills (1990 #5129) and Wills and Borchardt (1993 #3601) involved detailed logging and dating of offset deposits in a cutbank exposure along Long Valley Creek. Interpretations of the exposure reveal: (1) a 4-m-wide fault zone with six principal strands, all of which offset Holocene deposits; (2) all of the soils, including the surface soil, are displaced by one or more strands of the fault; and (3) at least four major ground-rupturing earthquakes have occurred in the past 6 ka.
|Geomorphic expression
|Dextral strike-slip strands of the Honey Lake fault zone are delineated by scarps on Holocene alluvial fans, dextrally offset stream channels, and closed depressions (Wills, 1990 #5129). Bedrock escarpments and faceted spurs along the front of Diamond Mountains characterize the normal components of the fault zone. The majority of the range-front normal fault is concealed by latest Pleistocene shoreline deposits (Wills, 1990 #5129; Wagner and Saucedo, 1990 #5130). The southeastern end of the normal fault near Constantia is delineated by scarps on latest Pleistocene to Holocene alluvium and sharp faceted spurs on bedrock (Wills, 1990 #5129).
In Nevada, the Honey Lake fault zone is comprised of range-front faults that juxtapose Quaternary-Tertiary gravel and Quaternary alluvium against older bedrock and are expressed as abrupt range-front escarpments (Bonham, 1969 #2999; Bell, 1984 #105). The intrabasin faults are expressed as lineaments and southwest- and north-facing scarps on Quaternary alluvium (Slemmons, 1968, unpublished Reno 1? X 2? sheet, Bonham, 1969 #2999; Bell, 1984 #105). The intermontane fault on Seven Lakes Mountain is expressed by a northwest-trending linear drainage that appears to be on strike with a northwest-striking fault on the northern piedmont (Bonham, 1969 #2999).
|Age of faulted surficial deposits
|Holocene(?) stream-terrace deposits and high-stand(?) shorelines of Lake Lahontan (approximately 12.5 ka) are offset along the front of the Diamond Mountains. The "modern" soil (200-400 yrs old?) is offset at site 22-1, and scarps are formed on all but latest Holocene alluvium across Honey Lake basin and Long Valley (Wills, 1990 #5129). Bonham (1969 #2999) reported offset of Quaternary alluvium, Quaternary-Tertiary gravel, and Tertiary volcanic rocks in western Nevada.
|Historic earthquake
|Most recent prehistoric deformation
|Latest Quaternary (<15 ka)
Comments: The timing of the most recent paleoevent in the California portion of the fault zone is based on offset the "modern" soil", which probably occurred within the past few hundred years (Wills, 1990 #5129; 1993 #3601). This timing estimate is based on detailed studies of the Honey Lake fault exposed in a cutbank along Long Valley Creek (site 22-1) in Honey Lake Valley. Detailed studies have not been conducted in Nevada, but Dohrenwend and others (1996 #2846) reported an undifferentiated Pleistocene time for the most recent event.
|Recurrence interval
|1.5 k.y. (<7 ka)
Comments: Wills and Borchardt (1993 #3601) reported a recurrence interval of about 1.5 k.y., based on an interpretation of four events over the past 6 k.y., whereas Wills (1990 #5129) interpreted a minimum of four surface-faulting events in about the past 7 k.y. based on deposits and soils exposed in a cutbank of Long Valley Creek (site 22-1).
|Slip-rate category
|Between 1.0 and 5.0 mm/yr
Comments: Wills (1990 #5129) estimated a slip-rate range of 1.1-2.6 mm/yr based on 16?2 m of right-lateral offset of a 7.0- to 12.5-ka fluvial channel, whereas Wills and Borchardt (1993 #3601) reported a preferred horizontal Holocene slip rate of about 2 mm/yr (1.1-2.6 mm/yr) based on the displacement of a post-Lahontan stream channel margin. Although this slip rate was calculated along the northern part of the fault zone, it may be representative for the entire fault zone.

You don't have to disagree with the article, because it doesn't really apply to you. Chase's main focus is about maximizing DPS in raids, and if that's you're goal you simply can't play Subtlety. Your goal as you've stated it is to maximize fun in dungeons, and if Subtlety does that for you, then by all means play Subtlety.

PITTSBURGH (93-7 THE FAN) — Baltimore Ravens center Matt Birk calls in to the Vinnie & Cook Show on Sportsradio 93-7 The Fan, and he tells us why he's not particularly looking forward to his matchup against Casey Hampton.
Matt can't find an explanation for why the Ravens have been so inconsistent, but he hopes the good Ravens show up against the Steelers again.
He also tells us how Joe Flacco has dealt with the critics, and whether Ray Rice will be a big key to a Baltimore win.

MY REC LIST (updated 28 May 2013):
TRANSLATIONS (français, Deutsch)
David: You know, when she stops trying to kill people, Regina's not all bad.
Snow: And another idiot falls. For her cleavage.
Emma: Don't say that. My life is complicated enough without my father perving on my girlfriend.
Regina: David, avert your eyes.
David: I was just thinking that your hair looks great, that's all!
Rumple: Remind me why we got roped into this?
Ruby: Because despite the fact that Belle and I have been together for a year, you still can't take a hint?
Belle: Ruby, don't be mean—
Ruby: Okay, babe. But no matter how many times he asks, no threesome.
Henry: What's a threesome?
Regina: Could you please stop corrupting my son?
Emma: Our kid has already faced down pure evil and death, a little bit of knowing about sex isn't going to kill him.
Snow: These drinks need more alcohol.
Regina: Yes, they are a little weak.
Snow: Well, I would have asked you to make them, but we can't trust you not to put us all to sleep for a century or two.
Regina: [through gritted teeth] Don't tempt me.
David: Let's have a toast, everyone! The food is almost ready.
Emma: Dad! Eyes up!
David: Sorry.
