I gave this game as a gift to a friend of my who recently got engaged! I've known her and her fiance for 11 years and wanted to get them something fun since they live on military base (he is in the navy). They day they opened the gift they had us all play. I've never had so much fun before. I believe we all laughed constantly till the game was over. They said they can't wait to get back and play some more!!!!! This game is perfect for a get together with friends or family, but bear in mind it's not really for young children. (they also won't likely know many of the answers) I say this is good for high school age and up... A great Adult Game!
fun game to play with a group of friends! we always have game nights & this game is usually played almost every time.
Fun but 17 yrs. old would be the youngest age considered to play. Not a game that can be played over and over because eventually you know all the answers.
I bought this as a dirty santa gift. We played one game at the party. Everybody was laughing non-stop. It was hilarious. Definitely worth the money.
it is realy fun game to play with abunch oifdirty minded people
Very fun game !! I would recommend !! But I had to go to target and pay 8.00 more since Walmart lost mine...they think it may have been put out on the shelf after it was delivered from my online order !!! Nice !!!
If have even the slightest dirty mind you and your friends will love this game! It definitely makes you think outside of the box from what would initially seem to be an obvious inappropriate reference.
This is a really fun game. Brings a lot of laughs and the name is perfect! I recomend it to all my friends! try this game it is amazing!
It was really fun!!
This was a gift for someone. I have played this game before and it's a lot of fun.
Lots of laughs and fun all night!!

Now that the 2012 election cycle is finally in "full swing" and one of the candidates has had us relying on hope for the last four years, a review of Dr. West's book "Restoring Hope" would be an appropriate place to re-examine and take a more careful look at Mr. Obama's idea of hope, especially as it applies to the present black American condition. Dr. West's book actually is the perfect vehicle for all Americans voters to do the same.
It is a series of interviews and discussions between Dr. West and nine prominent people: Harry Belafonte, Bill Bradley, Charlayne-Hunter Gault, the Reverend Dr. James Forbes, and the Reverend Dr. James M. Washington, Wynton Marsalis, Patricia Williams, Haki Madhubuti, and Maya Angelou. It would be an understatement to say that all are far-ranging discussions, with framing questions to fit the experiences of the interviewees being asked at the beginning of each session by Dr. West himself.
As a self-proclaimed "non-theist," I had initially skipped the fourth interview in this book between Dr. West and the two ministers, thinking erroneously that what they would have to say would be the conventional religious take on issue of hope. However, that assumption was a colossal mistake, because as it turns out, not only was the three-way interview between them the centerpiece of the book, but also the most incredible free-wheeling discussions on America's contemporary spiritual predicament ever put in print. It alone awards the book at least five stars. My own detailed interpretation of it, with commentaries, makes up the bulk of this review.
Can you speak your truth in a way that allows you to preserve your integrity as an individual, while allowing your subgroup to be able to come together in a larger community of humanity?
How one answers that question is what animated the discussion among the ministers and actually is not just the output of the three-way discussion between them, but also provides the subtext for the other interviews -- all led by Dr. West posing, framing, agitating and signifying with the overarching question of: What is spirituality in the context of American society, and especially as it applies to black Americans?
Each of the ministers put their own unique meanings and (as a surprise to me, a committed existentialist) their own existential spin into the ring: To Rev Forbes, spirituality is the system of values that gives meaning and strength to the struggles of life; to Rev Washington, it is the anchor that holds us together in the struggle against the opposing force of meaninglessness, including against entrenched American style racism. Forbes says that we are thrown into the world to struggle and then forced to watch ourselves deteriorate: condemned to be observers to our ultimate fate, death. Spirituality to Forbes thus is just another way of coping with the meaning of life --- that is to say all the while we are on our way to die. In a beautiful and powerful existentialist metaphor, he describes us all as "Researchers," trying to decide if the act of "being born" was a friendly or a "hostile" act? According to him, the way we live our lives is our only report card: An "A" says that our birth was life-affirming and thus was a fortuitous moment; an "F" says that our very birth was a dark and deep tragedy.
Dr. West's take is that when we speak of spirituality in this nation, we are only speaking of various forms of darkness in a sea of forward-looking, blued-eyed, thin- lipped, straight haired sunshine, a kind of sunshine that is constantly trying to redefine us black people negatively and designed to relegate us permanently to the margins of society where there we are to remain quiet and helpless. But wrestling with the darkness on the backside of all this sunshine is just part of "our continuing struggle," and also part of the underside of the struggle of the human condition as a whole: If its not physical death, it is social death. If it is not social death, it is cultural death and degradation. If it is not cultural death and degradation, it is economic death through exploitation"
The ministers then chime in in agreement that we must all learn to be "truth tellers;" for the struggle for a meaningful life and the courage to be, are difficult undertakings. But also because therein lies the source of our moral integrity and authenticity. Only from this platform, standing firmly on our own truth, can we then become humble enough to engage in compassion and love of ourselves first, and then of others. To validate ourselves, we need a cause larger than ourselves worth dying for, and not just dying in a war for the U.S. Army in a foreign country, but also one here on the "mean streets" of America. Mustering the courage to be is difficult work but the ability to engage in compassion and love are its rewards. In fact they are the only real (and remaining) signs of our humanity.
The three ministers agreed that humility is the gateway to everything else that is human in us. It is the only thing that really makes us human, and thus the only human attribute that always commands respect. Humility is the ultimate source of any personal empowerment we may acquire. However, without truth, integrity and authenticity, one does not know how to learn to be humble. And one does not get to become courageous, confident, or secure, for free. One has to do the work, and it all lies in the realm of self-awareness. Without attaining humility through self-awareness, we do not have a basis for attaining or enjoying our full humanity.
These ministers together, then go on to say that our society is being over-run by moral pygmies, people who lack the requisite humility and thus whose internal engines are fired up only by false egotistical bombast, which in reality is fear of their own shadows, expressing itself in other ways. These moral pygmies are constantly "faking it" and are teaching us how to "fake it" too. But in truth they are haunted by deep inner doubts, and insecurities, lacking both the confidence and the courage to be. They barrel through life beating their chests, with checkbooks, creative comforts and exaggerated titles, pretending to have what it takes. But in fact are scared to death that they may be empty of any humanity whatsoever; and thus that they will not be loved, will not be accepted, or validated in life by mainstream society -- and most of all, scared of their own failures. These are the people who are out front, who think they are leading us to the promise land, but who are in fact leading us over a destructive cliff far away from our own humanity and far away from the center of the democratic cultural ideals that have been bequeathed to us.
But life is a process that involves lots of failure. "Failing up" (by always telling the truth) makes you strong; failing down" (through lies, dissembling, avoidance, deception and fantasy) makes you weaker. And hiding from weaknesses leads to fallings back on convenient crutches as the preferred way of coping; that is to say, as a way to avoid facing the fear, insecurities, and lack of confidence that are at the root of such weaknesses. The author and his guests agree that the crutches have all become endemic idols of choice in contemporary American culture. They include all of the normal post-modern amusements: of drugs, alcohol, sex, shopping, chasing money, religion, the need to be entertained, the need to belong, and thus the need to be swept away from everyday reality by coping through sanctioned fiat. Foremost among these idols is religion itself, which all three agree has a lot to answer for -- as does God.
Reality construction too is a process in which, we blacks, as is true of all groups, must always have a stake. Mustering the courage to be is difficult and "it is dangerous to live in a world in which you do not have the power to help shape the nature of the experiences in that world, or to define who you are." Black reality does not have to be confined to what others tell us is real about our world or about ourselves. When we are honest, we can help define and shape our own reality, and can thus reconceive ourselves to ourselves. In this way, even without a dime we can write our own narrative, plot our own destinies and become qualitatively a richer people.
Even though in our new erstwhile stage of equality, where the breaking out of the ghetto (or other segregated circumstances), is like a second semester in life, it is not a time to recoil and become complacent or become lemming-like followers of the mainstream living off the land, and constantly looking askance for mainstream approval. But it is also our opportunity to make a case for how the world is -- as well as how it should be -- with us, not just "of," but also "in" it.
As a people black people have many unseen and still "untapped" strengths that these interviews draw out: the Blues, and Jazz or good examples. We can also sing; write poetry, and we can also "rap" and even hum. There is untapped knowledge for life's journey in all of these forms of strengths. For as history has shown, they can be subversive, progressive, conservative, or neutral, but always are life affirming and empowering.
Today, even with a mulatto President, in America, racially we are in a difficult situation, make no mistake about it: Right before our eyes, the American dream has turned to dust, a dim vapor trail, like cotton candy: You bite down on it: nothing is there? These ministers say it is thus time for a paradigm shift in spirituality; time to invent new ways of being spiritual. They say we now need new social movements, new ways of activism, new politics, new ways of being subversive, alternatives to hustling, Uncle Tomming and Aunt Jemaiming, and relying only on the self-destructive "get over strategies" of the ghetto and of the past. We need to call on our historical memory, on our forefathers and foremothers, and on all our historical connections.
As well, going forward, these three ministers admit that God too is a problem, He too must be interrogated. We have the right to ask Him hard questions. Maybe this will mean that we will need more secular models to help us cope? But here we must be careful for we are treading on thin ice. For we don't want to throw out the baby with the bath water. Because in reinventing the spiritual, throwing out God, we may also throw out our own collective vitality.

My favorite!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
My absolute favorite hiking/backpacking shirt. In the San Gabriels especially, its frequently best to have full coverage due to brush, sun exposure, pests, etc. Super sad to see MH discontinued. I go for one every time I hike or backpack. I have large shoulders and find many shirts too snug under and through the arms.
These have a looser extremely comfortable fit without having a ton of excess material to snag
Allows full range of motion without binding
Great ventilation
Wicks/drys well and evaporation creates nice cooling when working really hard
Fold up sun-blocking collar (doubles under in rear)
Material is light but has worn well and frequently cuts wind enough for me to skip when others go for a light shell
Sunglasses retainer loop on right chest pocket (just thread an arm through and hang when it gets too dark for the shades)
Buttons are a little odd, soft plastic/rubber but easy to grip and won't slip back out
I've never had any issues with seams rubbing or creating discomfort regardless of how long I wear, even with a backpack
Good all-around
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
I like this shirt for both everyday wear and traveling. It dries over night when traveling and does well in warm climates. The primary problem are the buttons as they are made of a material that does not slide through the button holes. The need to make the holes larger. The fix that and I will give it 5 stars. I hope the make it in black again.
Perfect for fieldwork in the heat
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Small
These have been my go-to for chasing birds around in central Texas and western OK for the last 2 seasons, and I'm sure they will excel this season in the Sonoran desert. They provide superior breathability and freedom of movement compared to similar products I've tried (e.g. REI Sahara). I especially like the snaps for the sleeve straps instead of a button, and the curved buttons up the front are a nice touch, as well. They could be more durable, although I understand I'm rougher than >95% of consumers, and making them durable would likely sacrifice breathability, which would not be desirable. I agree they run small, as I buy size small (versus my normal medium for t-shirts, etc.), but it should be noted I wear these with either nothing or a very thin technical layer underneath.
Second Gen 'Not-So-Grand' Canyon
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Large
This particular shirt gets the job done, but only just.
I have owned both first and second generation Canyon LS shirts, and everything from the materials used, to the more athletic fit proves the first-gen shirt was certainly not broken enough to fix. Buy it on sale, or not at all.
Good daily hiking/utility shirt
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: Medium
I picked up a few of these on sale for daily hiking in Colorado.
The fit is perfect. I'm an athletic build (large chest for my size), and am between a medium and large in most brands. However the medium in the Canyon shirt is cut generously and fits an athletic build perfectly. I don't have to worry about the shirt being too tight in a few months when I pack on some more muscle.
The style of the shirt is utilitarian, and in certain contexts you will look like the UPS man. What can brown do for you? If they put a curve on the bottom hem of the shirt it would avoid the UPS man effect, and make the shirt look less technical and it would fit in in more contexts. It looks like they have done that with the latest version.
The horizontal chest pocket has curved stitching on the flap, presumably to make it easier to open the pocket, with a small tab of fabric to help keep it closed. The curved flap is the only curved line on the design of the shirt and looks out of place and sloppy. The small tab works out for me however, as I use it to keep my car key in that pocket. This pocket would look 100% better if it was finished with a zipper and straight lines.
I suppose rubber buttons are less likely to crack, but they require a lot of effort to use. The friction between the button and the holes on the shirt is pretty ridiculous. Only the top button on the collar has a hole large enough to pass through fairly easily. I keep my shirts buttoned and pull them on over my head.
The extra flap on the collar for sun protection is great. Extra coverage on the sleeve would be nice as well; as can be found on Columbia shirts in the price range. Heat management is great; it feels like you're not wearing a shirt.
This shirt doesn't win many style points, and it's more at home on the trails than it is at town after your hike, but it gets the job done and is worth it when it's on sale (otherwise I'd go with the Columbia Silver Ridge shirt).
Big Gun Squeeze.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs large
Great shirt! Wrinkles, unbuttoned cuffs, untucked and all. I love this shirt.
XL for my 48 inch chest and 36 inch waist. My arms are about 36.5 in sleeve length. The only part that is a bit too big is the stomach area. I don't have much of a gut and this shirt would be forgiving if you do.
Wearing this manly shirt made me forget we were at a cherry blossom festival.
The neck flap was put to work keeping the sun off my neck earlier in the day. It worked great but may have looked a bit odd from behind.
What's your height and weight? I'm 6'4" 260 lbs and debating between XL and XXL. Leaning towards XXL since this will likely go over a light baselayer on most occasions.
My dimensions aren't too different from yours John. I also wear a light baselayer under the shirt and XL is a bit loose even still. (sleeve length, stomach, chest is all pretty generous in this shirt) If anything, I think the sleeve length will be too long for you with the XL but the shirt is an awesome 3 season shirt so not much of a sacrifice rolling up the cuffs a bit. Good Luck with the XL. I went with it and I'm not disappointed.
Runs Large
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs large
I ordered a small and found the sleeves were too long and the shirt was too wide, making for an overly loose fit. If you prefer a slimmer fit check out the North Face Cool Horizon Woven Shirt which I liked better.
Nice shirt for multi-days
6 years and still going!!
The shirt that lasts forever
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have used some of these shirt for at least twice a week now for almost 8 years!! It seems like they will last forever.
This is REAL value for money!!
Great material, great shirt
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
I agree with some other reviewers that the fit can be a bit awkward. In spite of that I recommend this shirt for outdoor activities during the summer months. Using the button to keep the sleeves up can lead to some uneven bunching in the arms, so I just roll them up without buttoning.
It will keep you cool! Pockets work well, dries super fast, blocks the sun.
Compared to other larges I have, this seems a bit snug (doesn't come hardly past my belt). Not so small that I would return it, however.
I bought mine in 2010, so I can't speak to changes made to this model since then.
So sad.........
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I bought this shirt in 2006 and it quickly became my all time favorite! I have worn it on most of my outdoor adventures ever since, everything from backpacking to rafting to hunting. I've probably worn it at least once a week for the past 7 years. It's now being held together with fabric tape so I bought a couple more over the last few years and like others have said, it has taken a serious decline in quality. The new ones don't have the same "mojo" that the original had. Different fabric, different fit, not as breathable or comfortable. As a result, my old one still gets the most use but his days are numbered and I might just shed a tear when he gets retired and I don't have a suitable replacement. Mountain Hardwear is my favorite brand but I'm very disappointed the the new Canyon.
Serious Downgrade In Quality
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have two of the previous versions of MHW Canyon Shirt with the last purchased about one year ago for about 10% less than the 45% off sales price and was expecting another excellent shirt. Wrong! There has been a serious reduction in the quality and features of this shirt in the present version being sold. Some of the serious downgrades include many double stitched seams reduced to single stitched, removal of a zipper to right upper chest pocket, moving button for fold up sleeve from external upper sleeve to internal tab that contacts your skin when the sleeve is down, and serious reduction in the size of the back shoulder venting area and air entrance. The changes saved money for the owner (Columbia) but literally on the backs of it's customers. The top open pocket with no closure (previously a zipper) is suitable for a casual shirt only. The material is not particularly any better (or worse) than any low end outdoor shirt made in Vietnam and found in big name discount department stores. 4 stars is very highly overrated for this shirt which I hesitate to call gear. This product is so clearly inferior to the previous version and does not look compatible for anything but light casual wear, it is being returned.
Worth Taking A Look Into...
Had an earlier version of the Canyon Shirt and I agree with the earlier reviewer that the top pocket is a downgrade for this great shirt. As for the performance of the product itself, I am extremely happy, as I face really hot south Texas summers that can easily span five months. I liked it so much that I now own four of these. As for the fit, I find the newest version to amply cut and actually a little larger in size.
Backcountry had the best pricing by far and their customer service and returns policy can't be beat!
Current model is a downgrade.
5 starts to the 2010 model for sure. Backpacked in it, and it came back looking like new.
I picked up a pair of the current model since I loved the older one so much, and the fit is a bit off (for me, at least). I'm pretty average size, but the shirt was cut noticeably tighter than before. Other than that, not a big fan at all of the button/zipper-less chest pocket. It hangs open even when there is nothing in there. Don't even want to see how it looks when I decide to use it. Looks sloppy.
Overall, still a good shirt. Esp. if it fits you well. On the plus side, I didn't even realize on the old model that the button on the upper part of the sleeve was to keep it from falling when rolled up. The new one came with a sleeve already rolled and buttoned as a demonstration. Nice surprise! haha
Don't use this for backpacking
This shirt has an inside tag and a spare button right where your hipbelt goes. It also has a pocket that goes down to where the hipbelt goes so that if I put something in the pocket it would interfere with my hipbelt. Then there is a pocket in addition to the zip pocket (not mentioned in the specs) that has no velcro stuff or button to shut it. There is a cloth flap that closes it but I can see overtime that this pocket is gonna definitely just start hanging open and no longer lie flush with the shirt. My size is small. Not sure if larger sizes are the same.
Not sure what shirt you are describing. my Canyon shirt has a Velcro Napoleon pocket and a Zipper pocket. I wore it for 4,000 miles of backpacking before the the backpack turned the material to shreds.
Gray Ghost
did you try removing the tag and button? I agree with Caap16903's review of its durability after having worn it on both the Long Trail and Colorado Trail this past summer.
John is describing the current shirt which is a serious downgrade in quality from the previous version which was as recent as one year ago. Caap and I suspect Ramius are talking about the previous version which I have and feel is a 4-5 star product. This version is seriously different.
This is a nice solid shirt for outdoor activities in the summer. fit is true to size chart. The material breathes and vents really well. Sun protection is sold. material dries very quickly. Construction is good with decent seam sealing. Mine has taken minor abrasion without problem but thin shirts like this are really not meant to withstand dragging across rocks much. It excels for hiking, kayaking, general travel and packing and doesn't look bad at the end of the day if you find yourself on main street at a bar. With two of these shirts you are set for a summer. Solid.
This review was written for the previous version of this shirt with the same name. It has been changed radically. Please see an updated review above for current version unless you are buying old stock somewhere.
Slim fitting
This is a solid shirt. Only real complaint is if you have bigger arms its a little hard to roll up the sleeves. Other than that good shirt from Mountain Hardwear.

The concepts presented in this overview of marital sexual dysfunction are derived from increasing clinical experience with couples who seek help for their sexual problems. These couples, in marked contrast to couples with good sexual functioning, usually report a steady state of emotional dissatisfaction and minimal physical pleasure from sex. The effectual and behavioral consequences of persistent dysfunction are reviewed. Sexual therapy is discussed in terms of its two elements, sensate focus and psychotherapy. The various tasks which the sexual therapist may have to accomplish with individual couples are described. Consideration is given to the specific hypotheses usually offered as explanation for sexual dysfunction—i.e., organic factors, varying degrees of relationship failure, poor communication, sexual ignorance, performance anxiety, and intrapsychic residua of past experience. A protocol for the screening physician to use in the formulation of a reasonable clinical plan for dysfunctional couples is included.

The Triumph of Music: The Rise of Composers, Musicians, and Their Artby Tim Blanning
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 11/30/2008

A distinguished historian chronicles the rise of music and musicians in the West from lowly balladeers to masters employed by fickle patrons, to the great composers of genius, to today's rock stars.

A distinguished historian chronicles the rise of music and musicians in the West from lowly balladeers to masters employed by fickle patrons, to the great composers of genius, to today's rock stars. How, he asks, did music progress from subordinate status to its present position of supremacy among the creative arts? Mozart was literally booted out of the service of the Archbishop of Salzburg "with a kick to my arse," as he expressed it. Yet, less than a hundred years later, Europe's most powerful ruler—Emperor William I of Germany—paid homage to Wagner by traveling to Bayreuth to attend the debut of The Ring. Today Bono, who was touted as the next president of the World Bank in 2006, travels the world, advising politicians—and they seem to listen.
The path to fame and independence began when new instruments allowed musicians to showcase their creativity, and music publishing allowed masterworks to be performed widely in concert halls erected to accommodate growing public interest. No longer merely an instrument to celebrate the greater glory of a reigning sovereign or Supreme Being, music was, by the nineteenth century, to be worshipped in its own right. In the twentieth century, new technological, social, and spatial forces combined to make music ever more popular and ubiquitous.
In a concluding chapter, Tim Blanning considers music in conjunction with nationalism, race, and sex. Although not always in step, music, society, and politics, he shows, march in the same direction.

After three years of no bumps in Mays, and 2 and half years since the last time Catz W1 has ever bumped we finally did it. We caught King's. We said we would and we delivered; on plough reach to be exact. It now leaves us as the sandwich boat of division 1. So a fantastic way to end this year of rowing and hopefully the start of some more bumps!
The final day of May Bumps 2016 would prove to be an emotional one for many, but particularly for W2. We were excited and positive after yesterday's bump. We knew it was going to be the toughest day yet…but we couldn't have predicted what was going to happen. We were once again chasing Jesus W3, and this time being followed by Selwyn W2, who we caught yesterday.
We thought Selwyn would be bumped quickly and that any pressure from behind would be from Clare Hall W1 (on for blades), attempting an overbump. We had chased Jesus W3 earlier in the week, and several of us had been in the crew that they had bumped on the last day of Lents. Realistically we had nothing to lose and were full of energy from the highs of the week. We set off well, chasing them down quicker than we expected, and by first post corner our cox had called 'the kill call', we had "considerable overlap", and then came the bump…twice. Our bank party saw it and bow pair felt it, but the Jesus cox didn't concede and they kept going. Confused as to what had happened, and why the umpire hadn't called it, we rowed on. Exhausted and confused we were eventually bumped on the long reach by Clare Hall.
Pulling over, we were told the distressing news: we'd bumped but it hadn't been seen by the umpire or conceded by Jesus and therefore didn't count. After long conversations with the people in charge, showing photographs on a small phone screen we were told "you can't prove contact from a photograph, and unless the photograph is square on to the boats they won't accept bow-ball passed the cox".
Going down three places in the tables after one row over and two bumps is soul destroying, for all involved. I don't think any of us will forget in a hurry how cruel bumps can be, but it will give us the fight to come back next year. The energy, passion, spirit, and the hard work of W2 is evident from the speed at which we bumped a crew who admittedly were better than us in Lent Term. I could not be prouder to write this race report on behalf of a group of girls I truly admire. FTW!
So Bumps has come to an end again, with a punchy and powerful performance in a fun but ultimately unsuccessful contest against Churchill M1. We pushed hard, but technically were far from our best, and Churchill slowly gained on us all the way. Their first whistles were optimistic, but by first post corner they were beginning to creep up on us, and after an exciting race down Plough Reach the 'bump' (which was actually a blade clash as we took the outside line around Ditton and they kept the racing line, coming up alongside us for a few tense seconds) happened at the beginning of the Long Reach. Still, we stuck it out for a long time and can hold our heads high. This crew will all still be here next year, so plenty of opportunities for revenge then!
On day three of this year's Mays campaign W2 started characteristically lively and positive. Having shaken off the nerves of day one and after a strong row over yesterday we were hungry for a bump - "Selwyn for dinner!" The race plan was much the same as yesterday - we would row no harder than day one, and as smart as day two. Pressure from Pembroke behind was always going to be strong as they were up-2, but we were chasing a down-2 Selwyn, and their colluding made us even more determined - we were hopeful for a quick bump. All our hard work paid off, we pushed hard and bumped about halfway along first post reach - the first Catz bump of Mays 2016!
Tomorrow we are being chased by Selwyn and once again, chasing Jesus.

Went to Zion last June.. felt like I was at Disney World.. it was over-crowded with busses all over and more people than it could handle. I was there in 1998 and in march of 2010.. March is a good month if you go in early march.. I have now vowed to go off season from now on. Going to Yellowstone in Sept, after labor day. Hoping that will be late enough to avoid crowds.
By the way, Alf, I agree with your concerns about commercialization of the Wilderness. I would be happy to lobby for the exclusion of commercial operations and I'll bet most cyclists would agree.
Alf: Indeed the Wilderness Act (WA) is full of intent. It defines federally-designated Wilderness, in total, as follows:
"A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain. An area of wilderness is further defined to mean in this Act an area of undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvements or human habitation, which is protected and managed so as to preserve its natural conditions and which (1) generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable; (2) has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfined type of recreation; (3) has at least five thousand acres of land or is of sufficient size as to make practicable its preservation and use in an unimpaired condition; and (4) may also contain ecological, geological, or other features of scientific, educational, scenic, or historical value."
We can discuss the meaning of "primitive" with regard to recreation, but excluding a bicycle while allowing a host of other demonstrably non-primitive technologies is an immediate hypocrisy. Overall, the intent and aspirations of the WA are entirely consistent with the rugged, individual type of recreational endeavor that is represented perfectly by foot, horse or bicycle travel.
But then we arrive at the term "mechanical transport," and this is where the opposition to the bill generally tries to hang its hat. Thankfully, we have a definition of mechanical transport contained in the Code of Federal Regulations that was written to reflect and implement the intent of the WA. That definition is:
"Mechanical transport, as herein used, shall include any contrivance which travels over ground, snow, or water, on wheels, tracks, skids, or by floatation and is propelled by a nonliving power source contained or carried on or within the device."
- 36 CFR § 293.6(a) (1973), formerly 36 CFR § 251.75 (1966)
So, what's "abundantly clear" is that we do not have a cut and dry exclusion of bicycles, unless we are also prepared to exclude a lot of other currently allowed technologies. But we can certainly have a worthwhile debate about the risks and rewards of expanding the constituency of Wilderness advocates to include backcountry cyclists by allowing them at least some level of access to these public lands that were set aside for recreation as well as preservation.
Stoll and "out n'about" ought read the Wilderness Act. If they bother to. they'll see that although bicycles, wheelbarrows and chainsaws may not be specifically addressed, the intent that they not be allowed in designated Wilderness is abundantly clear.
In maintaining the status quo and pandering to commercial vested interests by allowing the continuation of domestic livestock grazing, aircraft landings, and commercial outfitters to maintain caches and semi-permanent camps in classified Wilderness, the intent of the Wilderness Act has already been over-compromised. We don't want or need it to be further eroded.
When someone, or some group of organizations, writes "an assault on the very idea of wilderness," they either haven't researched the Wilderness Act, or they haven't read the proposed legislation or they are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of their followers.
I encourage everyone to read the text of the bill at the link below and then you can begin asking why some opponents would use such hyperbole and misinformation to describe such a benign proposal. While I can understand the desire to incite their fans, generate membership revenue and defend their personally favored form of outdoor recreation, none of that is a very good basis for setting public policy. Of course, the backers of the bill are also selfish in the sense that they would like to visit at least some of the land in the manner they enjoy. But if that manner is as quiet, human-powered, sustainable and environmentally benign (or more so) as currently allowed uses (foot and hoof), then we should all endeavor to accommodate it on at least some of our publicly-owned Wilderness lands.
Randy F - thanks for your thoughts on this. Lots of differing opinions, I guess. I had been wondering what the actual LAW (if any) states about this issue. Years ago, when I distributed political flyers, we were told not to put them in mailboxes, but rather rubber band or tape them to the door knob, but even then we never learned whether this was LAW or just a "guide" from the post office. Using the USC you listed, it states a box erected for receiving official stamped mail from the post office cannot be used [in any way - in or on top of or taped to] for un-stamped items. However, the post [that the box sits on] is NOT considered part of the box. So, there we have it! Thanks!

DMM 508.3.1.2 states;
Door slots and nonlockable bins or troughs used with apartment house mailboxes are not letterboxes within the meaning of 18 USC 1725 and are not private mail receptacles for the standards for mailable matter not bearing postage found in or on private mail receptacles. The post or other support is not part of the receptacle.
Also, I failed to find any reference to a 15 foot "zone" leading to and exiting from a mailbox. There is a section that states that the area around the delivery point should be such so that the carrier is not impeded from mak9ng the delivery, but there is no specific distance stated.
I've got 32 years of service with 20 in Business Mail Entry and Mail Classification. I am sure that you know that these activities involve a lot of DMM research and interpretation. Only mentioning it so that you don't think I am just some nut, shooting off my mputh without knowing what I am talking about.
ol az hippie chick, You erect a mail receptacle with the sole intention of receiving US Mail. The USPS retains exclusive right to access that mailbox and excludes any others from doing so. Yes, you bought the box, yes, you set it up and, yes it is on your property. However, it is for your convenience to have a mailbox at your residence so you do all of that to make it happen.
The simple act of erecting a mail receptacle constitutes your acceptance of USPS and USC rules and regulations regarding its use.
Also.....the law use to be the post office only owned the air space in the mailbox. However, somewhere around the late 80s to early 90's it was changed to include around the box, flag and post. Including 15 feet in front of and 15 feet past the mailbox for vehicle usage. It was when the first larger postal vehicles (LLV) were made to replace the old jeeps. Of course it isn't very specific since some mailboxes don't have 15 feet in front or after due to the location of the mailbox. It is rather vague but since most people understand mailboxes are for postal use, they abide. It's the few butt holes that always want to challenge it. If someone puts a flyer on my mailbox, I would be tempted to call the police to report a break in and take them to small claims court.....I could use a new wide screen tv.
Btw.....the box set postal property. Technically they own the airspace in and around the box, flag and post. I've been removing layers for thirty years. Everyone. At our station, we give three to the supervisor and trash the rest as non obvious value since there is no postage on them. The supervisor is suppose to send one to the local police to report temporary tampering of the mailbox. One to the EED department who Calls the vender to offer them a time saving cheaper alternative called every door direct where the post office will deliver the flyers for them without expensive adverstisement requirements or bulk rate permit expense.....and the third to the postal inspections department that is suppose to keep track on repeat offenders. We had two cases in our zone where a lawn care service and a local restaurant repetatly ignored postal inspections warnings about putting flyers on the mailbox. The lawn care service went to court and lost and had to pay a $5000 fine to the postal service. The restaurant stop and agreed not to do it again to avoid the $5000 fine.
Well....we had a lawyer go on vacation once. Had the postal service hold his mail. A lawn care service put a flyer on his mailbox that the carrier didn't remove. It was on his box for sometime while he was on vacation. Some high school kids saw the flyer on his box and determined since it was there for days, he was gone. So they broke into his home and had a school party. Broke the up stairs bathroom and flooded the place. Causing eighty thousand dollars in damages. When the lawyer got home. He called the police who did a search of the home and found a cell phone in the upstairs master bedroom along with some used condoms in the bed. They traced the phone back to the high school kid who told the cops what happen. So they found the flyer and sued the four kids that organized the party and the lawn care provider for placing the flyer in the mailbox. The lawyer sued The five of them and won. They had to pay for the $80,000 dollar repairs plus the room, board and travel expenses of the lawyer while his home was being repaired. The lawyer now sends letters to homes that are broken into telling the residents if there's a flyer on the mailbox, the vendor will have to pay for everything that was stolen.....and the lawyer is winning. So good luck to this guy.
I appreciate the story, but as with everything, there is so much more to it. Join the Montana Filmmakers & Media group via Facebook to learn more. https://www.facebook.com/groups/MTFMA/?ref…
Get an idea of film's economic impact in Montana, with actual numbers.
Here's a plan to have the film office, the tourism office, and the Historical Society working hand in hand to get more films made about the state, and thus more interest in coming here and spending money.
Waste of time and taxpayer money. The police in Missoula have shot more people than the criminals and just how many gun crimes are committed in Missoula?
It's to bad this councilor and the others can't focus on something more relevant like getting spending under control.
Sandra - that's a good point; one I didn't think about. The box is YOUR property; therefore, the post office shouldn't have say about who else touches it. You, however, have that right.
He has no business touching any part of my mailbox. If any of my mail comes up missing, he's suspect #1.
Perfect proof that being a "rocket scientist" doesn't necessarily make you smart. Let the Californication of Montana begin, starting with outsiders such as this bozo, funded by out-of-state money. And the funniest part isn't that this legislator is trying to bypass state law, but that if this somehow miraculously passes, pawn shops and gun shops in Missoula will feel the financial brunt of this due to Missoula residents simply patronizing out-of-city pawn shops and gun shops, or making sure their private transactions occur outside of Missoula.
Way to go, von Lossberg. You're on the road to financially impacting the constituents you allegedly serve. In fact, I would charge that you don't serve your Missoula constituents, but rather the out-of-state money interests that are funding your war chest. You're a disgrace.
It will probably cost him more to go to court than it would have for bulk rate postage or for a couple of teens to hang them on doors.
"Days ahead of the Oct. 19 public hearing, Fox indicated his leanings in a press release saying he believes the proposed ordinance is prohibited by state law and "likely violates our constitutional right to keep and bear arms."
I don't have any Constitutional rights. I have unalienable Constitutionally PROTECTED rights which we the people created the govt and gave it the DUTY to protect.
"After the ordinance's public hearing in October, political and public will seemed to be in its favor. A survey of 350 Missoula County residents, commissioned by advocates, found that 82 percent of gun owners, including 73 percent of Republicans and 70 percent of independents, supported requiring background checks on all gun sales. The majority of submitted public comment and testimony was in favor of the ordinance. And the votes from council appeared to be there."
A survey commissioned by the advocates? Oh pleaeeeess. LOL If I pay you to do a survey you had better come up with results favorable to what I'm advocating. Behavior mod/group management facilitation 101

SAP AG appears poised to announce a software-as-a-service (SaaS) customer relationship management (CRM) application on Thursday at media events in California and New York.
Company officials declined to discuss the business model ahead of scheduled events. If SAP reports it will launch the service as expected, the German enterprise software giant will go head–to-head with Salesforce.com, a leader in the SaaS market.
George Hu, Salesforce.com senior vice president of applications, said the CRM company welcomes the news because it validates the market. "We've been saying all along that applications will move to on-demand, starting with CRM," Hu said. "This is defensive move by SAP. They've seen our momentum. We're penetrating some of their customers."
SAP's model will likely look similar to most SaaS applications today, "a simpler user interface sticking to the basics, quick to rollout, pay-as-you-go pricing," said Liz Herbert, analyst at Forrester Research Inc. "If I needed a solution this month, SAP's in a tight spot if they don't have an on-demand option that would take up to a few week to roll out, compared with an on-premise application that could take months, sometimes years."
An SaaS CRM product allows SAP to serve small-and-medium size businesses, as easily as larger enterprises. It would give companies that don't need a huge complex CRM system to jump in easily.
Bill McDermott, chief executive officer at SAP Americas Inc., in an interview late last year said the ultimate SaaS platform is a "business process CRM" application that is easy to use, quick to deploy, competitively priced and, if required, available as a stepping stone to SAP myCRM. "Customers are not comfortable with their precious data in the hands of a small company that has a multi-tenant data center," he said. "They lack the functionality and specific features."
A clue as to the partnerships that might be formed to watch over customer data might reside in McDermott's comment that "customers are not comfortable with their precious data in the hands of a small company that has a multi-tenant data center." McDermott said customers should have options, laying several that might include SAP, customers, or a third-party, such as IBM Corp. or Hewlett-Packard & Co., hosting the data.

Powermatic PM1000 Table saw, 1-3/4HP, 1PH, 52" Accu-Fence System
This is a great addition to a modest shop that wants to step up from the contractor level of table saws to the cabinet saws. It took a few hours to set it up and calibrate it, but once I did, cross cutting sheets of plywood, cutting dadoes, rabbets and tenons were a breeze. The saw has plenty of power when cutting hardwoods, and given the level of precision it allows me to achieve, I no longer need to make my rough cuts several inches larger than my final cuts.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Cause Of Accidental Air Strike On Afghan Army Troops: 'Mis-communication'
The U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan has blamed a communication error for the air strike that killed six Afghan National Army soldiers earlier this week, NPR's Quil Lawrence reports.
An investigation by Afghan and international officials concluded that information exchanged between U.S. and Afghan commanders caused the American pilots to misidentify the route of the Afghan patrol in Ghazni Province.
The soldiers were setting up an ambush against Taliban militants before dawn on Tuesday, when the errant U.S. bomb hit:
When an [International Security Assistance Force] helicopter patrol came across a group of individuals digging beside the road, in an area that has experienced daily IED detonations and significant casualties; they called the Ghazni Operational Coordination Center-Provincial to determine if friendly forces were in the area. The ISAF patrol was cleared to engage the individuals believed to be insurgents. However, this approval to engage was based on inaccurate information about the location of the [Afghan National Army] patrol.
In a public statement, officials did not say whether the Afghans or the Americans were responsible for the error.
In Southern Afghanistan, an explosion killed a British soldier on foot-patrol in Helmand Province's troubled Sangin District.
British marines have announced they will be leaving the area by the end of the year, turning over the fight to U.S. forces. At least 314 British soldiers have died in Afghanistan since the start of the war there.

Dave Martin, Associated Press
TALLADEGA, Ala. — Teamwork meant very little in the closing laps at Talladega Superspeedway.
Unless, of course, you were driving a Ford.
Clint Bowyer bailed on teammate Jeff Burton on the last lap of Sunday's race, pulling around him when the checkered flag was in sight to pick up his first win of the season and the 100th in the Sprint Cup Series for Richard Childress Racing.
"You hate that it comes down to that; it is what it is," shrugged Bowyer. "You owe it to your team, to your sponsors to go out and win the race. Unfortunately, it came down to that situation."
Burton and the RCR bunch understood that's how the game is played.
The grumbling was far behind the leaders, where Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne ditched Jeff Gordon because Bayne was part of a pact made by Ford drivers to only push fellow Ford drivers in an effort to help Roush Fenway Racing drivers Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth in the championship race.
Gordon was seventh on the final restart and thought Bayne was committed to pushing him over the last two laps. Instead, Bayne backed off, and Gordon, with no help, faded to 27th. An animated Bayne went immediately to Gordon's car after the race, then posted his thoughts on Twitter.
"I'm not happy about what this has become," he posted on Twitter in reference to Talladega's two-car drafting style and the reliance on partners.
"It's too premeditated. We should be able to go with whoever is around us. I would have rather pulled over and finished last than tell (Gordon) I would work with him and then be strong armed into bailing."
Gordon said he was deceived.
"The Fords made it very clear about what they were doing in working with one another," Gordon said. "So I didn't expect him to commit to me on the radio. I expected him to say, 'Man, I'm sorry, I can't.' And when he said, 'Yeah, I'm pushing you, we're good,' I believed him. I think they had a different plan."
The race at NASCAR's biggest and fastest track finished roughly 30 minutes after the memorial service for two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon ended in Indianapolis. Wheldon was killed in the IndyCar season finale a week ago at Las Vegas, and NASCAR honored him with decals on all the cars and a moment of silence before the start of the race.
The Wheldon death made for some poignant moments during pre-race, as Kevin Harvick clung tightly to wife, Delana, and many drivers were seen giving long embraces to loved ones.
And as expected, the race heated up in the closing laps.
Drivers jockeyed for position and partners in the new two-car drafting system. Although the race was not marred by "the big one," there was a series of accidents, and the last, with eight laps remaining, was a hard hit by Regan Smith that required repairs to the SAFER barrier.
It made for a shake-up in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings. Harvick and Kyle Busch were both in accidents, and five-time defending series champion Johnson finished 26th as he and partner Earnhardt never made their charge to the front.
Edwards, who came into the race up five points over Harvick, finished 11th and saw his lead swell to 14 points over Roush Fenway Racing teammate Matt Kenseth.
There were hard feelings after the race as drivers were upset at etiquette in the closing laps. Stewart had been working with RCR driver Paul Menard during the second half of the race, but Menard wasn't able to push him to the win when the race restarted after Smith's accident with two laps to go.
Instead of contending for the win, Stewart finished seventh.

Improving Virtual Sound Source Robustness Using Multiresolution Spectral Analysis and Synthesis
A virtual sound source system based on the principle of active noise control is presented. A solution to the robustness problem inherent to this and other virtual source systems is proposed. This solution exploits acoustical and psychoacoustical factors by employing multiresolution spectral analysis. A new multiresolution transformation method, that is suitable for real-time implementation, is developed for this purpose. Performance improvement is shown by simulation.
