'I don't know how you can call that a cottage," says the 70-ish fellow having a drink with me on a friend's Muskoka dock. He was pointing to the neighbour's place: The cottage is likely 5,000 square feet, air-conditioned and filled with technology. "It's a fancy city house that happens to be on a lake," he says. I reply: "I guess things were different when you first started coming up here."
To make it clear he isn't an addle-brained old-timer, nostalgic for a past that might never have been as charming as remembered, the crusty guy looks me straight in the eye: "I'm not being sentimental."
He continues as if he is in a trial. (I find out later he is a retired lawyer and comes from an old-money family, the kind you're familiar with because downtown Toronto streets are named after them.) "Why come here if you have the same life as you do in town? People are afraid to rough it a bit and unplug from their TV. Some people are afraid of silence and that's why they come up here and bring the city with them."
I venture there are still remote areas where people cottage without power or plumbing. "Of course, but I'm talking about mainstream people's expectations. When I was a kid and came to my family's place, life changed. We had a big place but it was spartan. We spent all day on the water. No one spent all day on a jet ski and called that getting exercise. No wonder kids are fat now."
His family's place was near Port Carling, on one of the big Muskoka lakes. "Not winterized - that made it very special because it was a short season. You had to have a fire at night - and no air-conditioning," he says. "That was the point, you came up here because it was cooler. - We even shared bathrooms."
What did you do during the day? "My mother would tell us after lunch that she didn't want to see us until dinner," he says. "We would take the canoe out, go to the other side of the lake, visit the neighbours. Dinner was usually eaten on the terrace. My mother had a girl up all summer to help, but we had to do most things ourselves. I learned to wash dishes and had to sweep the decks. I took sailing lessons on the weekends. When my dad came up [my mother was there all summer] we would go for a long boat ride. All the parents had parties on the weekends at each other's places, there were few clubs and they were mostly for tourists. Everyone got drunk and went home early."
He sips his drink. "It was more fun than people have today. I think everyone wants to impress each other up here with how rich and important they are, and they're missing the point about cottages, being Canadian and trying to appreciate a landscape the whole world envies." He shakes his head: "You know the type. Women with high heels on the dock, men never off they cell phones making deals."
I say: "They don't know what they're missing."
The distinguished gent nods in agreement, and excuses himself with, "I think I'll get another G&T."

This is in response to Michael Cannariato's letter "The one percent get richer," published Aug. 24.
It is disappointing to me to be constantly reminded how many people have no idea how capitalism works. Cannariato is a good example. He complains about rich people and "rich CEOs" and employers "absorbing the positions" of retiring workers. Then he whines about consumer debt, stagnating wages and rising prices, blaming the "richest few."
In capitalism — which built this country — some people fail and others succeed. Some become very rich and others never do. Some, due to bad luck or bad choices, may be forced to struggle. Others may prosper just by being in the right place at the right time. That is the system.
I am not part of the one percent, and never will be, but to answer Cannariato's question, "How's that working out for you?" — it's worked just fine for a very long time. We are in the process of fixing something which is not broken, mostly due to big government leftist bromides.

Have you ever lost a loved one to cancer? A friend, neighbor, or co-worker? These days it's rare to not know someone whose life hasn't been touched by cancer.
Have you ever lost a loved one to cancer? A friend, neighbor, or co-worker? These days it's rare to not know someone whose life hasn't been touched by cancer.
Community residents joined forces Friday night with the American Cancer Society at the Smyrna High track to fight back against cancer in the first-ever Smyrna-Clayton Relay for Life.
Relay for Life is an overnight event that doubles as a way to raise awareness while raising money for the fight against cancer. Teams are created, they raise money and then attend the event where they will not only partake in various activities but must always have someone from the team on the track at all times.
The event started at 7 p.m. and ended at 7 a.m. Saturday morning. It featured everything from special laps around the track to campsite decorating to the luminaria ceremony, which allowed for people to remember the loved ones they lost. To cap the evening off, the Smyrna Relay for Life exceeded their original goal of $25,000, raising over $30,000.
A survivor
Before the event officially began, those in attendance listened to two people whose lives have been affected by cancer. Gail Allen explained how she overcame breast cancer. For June Keister, her story was that of losing her daughter to this terrible disease.
Allen was diagnosed 12 years ago with breast cancer and was told she had a 30 percent chance of survival. Having lost her own mother to cancer, Allen was well aware of the fight ahead of her.
She thought that people wouldn't want to be around her, touch or hug her but these were all the things she would need. In fact it was something as simple as her granddaughter Hannah Griffiths, a toddler at the time, rubbing Allen's head and touching her cheek that helped with the healing process.
"Life is beautiful. Family is precious. Love conquers all. If you believe enough and trust enough and allow yourself to feel enough, you too can be a survivor," Allen said.
The loss of a child
In 1999, June Keister received a phone call that changed her life forever. It was a doctor calling to inform her that Keister's two-year old daughter Kylie Penuel had cancer.
Over the next nine years, Kylie would go through various treatments and clinical trials. There were periods of time where Kylie was cancer free only to relapse later on. Kylie's cancer came back in full force in July 2007 and she passed away in June of 2008.
"I remember being thankful at that time that I not only got to celebrate her third birthday but also her 11th. I got to know my daughter and enjoyed every minute with her," Keister said. "She was a kind, caring soul and I am forever better for having had her in my life."
Exceeding expectations
When the Smyrna-Clayton Relay for Life committee began planning the event, they set their goal of raising $25,000; all proceeds go to ACS. However, Lewis said ACS informed them that realistically the group would probably only raise between $10,000 and $15,000. Around midnight on Friday, the group reached $30,000.
"We're over the moon. I can't tell you how excited we are," Lewis said.
Even though the 2012 Relay for Life event is done in Smyrna, the group will continue to raise money until August 31. After that, they will start fundraising for the 2013 relay.
"It's overwhelming. I know Smyrna and Clayton have such a small-town community closeness. We always rally together. I knew we would come together but I didn't think it would come together the way it did," Lewis said.

General_Purpose >
Taq Full DNA Polymerase is an ultrapure, highly efficient, full-length, recombinant version of the Thermus aquaticus (Taq) YT1 DNA Polymerase (94 kD; 1). As a thermostable DNA polymerase, it can withstand prolonged incubations at temperatures up to 95°C without significant loss of activity. The enzyme possesses two important catalytic activities: a 5'–3' polymerase activity, and a double-strand specific 5'–3' exonuclease activity. Like other full-length Taq DNA Polymerases, this enzyme lacks 3'–5' exonuclease (proofreading) activity.
With Taq Full DNA polymerase you can efficiently and conveniently amplify DNA from any template. Therefore, this enzyme is recommended for any general PCR amplification procedure. Taq Full can generate higher yields than any other full-length Taq polymerase. In addition, it is able to amplify even rare targets from bacterial and plasmid DNA, cDNA, and complex genomic DNA. Its high efficiency and sensitivity allow you to use less enzyme and template in each reaction—letting you get the most mileage from each PCR reaction. Taq Full is also available with a hot start antibody (Taq Full Hot Start DNA Polymerase), providing heightened performance and guaranteeing increased specificity and yield.
Our Taq Full and Taq Full Hot Start DNA Polymerases allow you to perform PCR without tedious buffer optimization. In any given reaction, Taq Full tolerates a wide range of Mg2+ concentrations. To make the most of this feature, we have included MgCl2 at a set concentration in the Taq Full PCR Buffer, eliminating the need to optimize or add Mg2+ as a separate component during reaction setup. In our experiments, Taq Full was also shown to perform equally well in PCR buffers containing higher MgCl2 concentrations (Images & Data tab). The wide Mg2+ tolerance exhibited by this enzyme eliminates the need to optimize the Mg2+ concentration in your PCR assays, and saves considerable time and effort.
Taq Full Hot Start DNA Polymerase contains an integrated hot start antibody for automatic hot start. Clontech's hot start system blocks polymerase activity during the PCR reaction set-up, thus preventing the formation of primer-dimers and other artifacts of low-level synthesis prior to thermal cycling (2). The antibody is quickly inactivated at the onset of thermal cycling, allowing PCR to proceed as usual. Clontech's hot start system, therefore, allows for higher specificity and promotes the best qualities of Taq Full DNA Polymerase.

Versatile, travel-ready, and easy to customize, phil&teds navigator Buggy can be used in either single or double mode to suit the changing needs of your family. This in-line stroller offers eight modes to accommodate one child or two, from birth up to 5 years. Its slim design and 12-inch air-filled wheels make the navigator ideal for city streets and mountain trails, while car seat adaptability, a curb pop feature, and one-hand fold capability ensure smooth, comfortable travels for parent and child.
with Doubles Kit
Inline Adaptability Carries One Newborn up to Two Toddlers
The navigator Buggy can accommodate a newborn through age five, as well as two children at one time, by offering eight different modes of transport. A newborn can lie flat or a single child can sit comfortably in the traditional buggy configuration, or a newborn and toddler can sit together with the inline double kit (sold separately) that seats the toddler up front while the newborn lies flat behind.
The main seat accommodates a child up to 44 pounds, while the double kit (sold separately) accommodates a child up to 44 pounds in the front-load position or up to 33 pounds in the rear-load position. Tested to meet and exceed global safety standards, each position provides maximum stability and safety.
The double kit (sold separately) with one hand seat recline can be used in combination with a wide range of popular car seats to accommodate a toddler behind and an infant in front, or it can be used to seat two toddlers together double-decker style.
Small, Slender Size for Tight, Crowded Spaces
The navigator weighs 28 pounds and measures only 23 inches wide, making it compact enough for busy malls, subway platforms, playground paths, parks, and more. Despite its small size, the navigator boasts a full-size 24-inch-tall seat with a 12-inch-wide backrest for a comfortable fit that truly grows with your child.
Handle Helps Navigate Over Curbs
Pushing on the navigators handle provides enough force to easily "pop" the strollers front wheel up and over curbs--even in double mode. When its time to stop and chat, the wheels lock securely in place with an easy to engage pedal brake.
Lightweight and Durable Steel Frame
The navigators steel construction makes for a lightweight yet strong feel as you push on different terrain. It provides reliable shock absorbency and the convenience of three 12-inch pneumatic tires without the need for a separate suspension system, resulting in a lighter stroller thats easy to push both in and out of the city.
Ventilated Seat System with Tail free 5 point harness
The navigator features a contoured seat with removable seat liner that is designed to support proper posture, maximize airflow, and minimize moisture buildup. The Seat Performance System offers a four position seat recline that easily adjusts between upright and lie-flat positions. The smooth and easy harness length adjustment accommodates larger children and bulky winter coats, while additional strap length "tucks away" to provide a tail free harness--no dangling webbing!
Easy-Fold Design for Storage
You can fold the stroller down in one smooth action with the one-hand fast fold. When youre ready to store the stroller, the frame auto-locks securely in place with a clip. For the most compact fold, remove the wheels--no tools required.
Zip-Off Fabric and Colorful Customization Accessories
Zip-off premium fabric coverings combine wipe-clean convenience with a matte finish and soft feel. The navigator is also easy to personalize. Whether you want to celebrate the change of seasons, or simply give your stroller a new look, the sun hood, seat liners, and carrycot hoods add instant style and are available in your choice of cherry, golden kiwi, black, and sky colors (sold separately).
The navigator can be used with the Face-to-Face seat (sold separately). This covered seat can be installed in the rear-facing position so parents can get critical one-on-one bonding time with their newborns. Parents can also use the navigator Buggy with the snug carrycot (sold separately) to create an elegant pram-style appearance.
Adjustable Sun Protection
The navigators fully adjustable follow-the-sun hood provides ample shaded coverage from the sun in any angle or direction of travel. The hood can also be adjusted higher on the stroller for taller children. Flick-out visors keep the sun away from your childs eyes, and side pockets offer additional storage.
Safety and Warranty Information.
The navigator has been rigorously safety tested and is certified compliant with EN1888:2005, ASTM F833-10, AS/NZS 2088:2009-CPN8 AUS/NZ, and SOR Canada standards. It also features an innovative five-point harness design thats tail free--no more dangling webbing. Extra harness length is tucked away behind the seat liner.

Road charging – discounts on motorway tolls: Commission refers Spain to Court of Justice
Today, the European Commission has decided to take legal action against Spain for failure to respect European legislation on road charging when applying excessively high discounts on motorway tolls. Spain has introduced discounts of up to 50% for those heavy goods vehicles that frequently use its motorways. These excessive discounts for road usage favour mainly domestic hauliers, violate the principle of non-discrimination and distort competition. According to the referral decision, Spain has an additional three months to comply with the European rules. If there are no satisfactory measures taken within this deadline, the Commission will refer the matter to the European Court of Justice.
The aim of the so-called 'Eurovignette Directive[1]' is to establish a mechanism for charging road infrastructure costs to hauliers without giving rise to distortions of competition between transport operators in the Member States.
The Directive requires that tolls shall be related to the costs of constructing, operating and developing the infrastructure network concerned. Member States may vary the rates of tolls only according to the emission classes of the vehicles using the motorway and according to the time of the day. The Directive does not allow particular discounts for frequent users that go beyond actual administrative cost savings, as excessive discounts would have to be compensated for with higher payments by occasional users. However, Spain did not provide any evidence that administrative cost savings would justify discounts at the levels which are presently applied.
The new amending Directive[2] specifies that discounts for frequent users may under no circumstances exceed 13 % of the toll paid by equivalent vehicles that are not eligible for the discount. Spain currently applies discounts that may go up to 50 %.
[1] Directive 1999/62/EC of 17 June 1999 on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures; OJ L 187, 20/07/1999, p. 42 – 50.
[2] Directive 2006/38/EC of 17 May 2006 amending Directive 1999/62/EC on the charging of heavy goods vehicles for the use of certain infrastructures; OJ L 157, 09/06/2006, p. 8 – 23.

Item Description
Letter, J. J. I. [John James Ingalls] to Dear Father [Elias T. Ingalls]
Author: Ingalls, John James
Date: January 2, 1859
From Lawrence, K.T., where he went to lobby the territorial legislature on behalf of Sumner's city charter and a "Pikes Peak Express Company," John J. Ingalls wrote to tell his father about the journey that took him through Leavenworth. He made some interesting observations about the condition of the roads and the general discomfort involved in overland travel ("The coaches are constructed with special reference to safety in passing over corduroy roads, through sloughs and ravines, having no regard whatever to the comfort of the passengers."), as well as nice descriptions of both cities, Leavenworth and Lawrence.

A Kickstarter update for Wildman follows up on news of layoffs at developer Gas Powered Games with a video from Chris Taylor explaining the situation at his company. He tells us that without the cuts, the company would have to immediately shut down if the Kickstarter failed, unable to fulfill any of its remaining obligations. Showing some emotion he says he was unwilling to gamble with people's livelihoods in this economy as the reason he mad that "tough decision." Chris then share another "tough decision," asking if he should continue the Kickstarter to see if the response to it improves so he can hire back the staff that wants to return, or shut it down and "call it done." They will tabulate votes from the comments to judge whether the campaign should continue.

ALLEN ��When visitors pull in the driveway of Jason and Sianna Spieth�s country home near Quincy, 24 American English Coonhounds greet�them with their distinctive howls.
Upon entering the house,�visitors are�welcomed by Moonlight�s Most Wanted (nicknamed Oakie), a 3-year-old American English Coonhound.
Sianna said Oakie is spoiled rotten.
Maybe so, but�Oakie is one of the top American English Coonhounds in the country. At the recent Eukanuba Dog Show, Oakie was awarded the best male of his breed � just one of several distinctions he has received in show rings over the years.
Jason, Sianna and Oakie�are in�New York City this weekend and will be taking part in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which begins Monday. This is the second year that Oakie has competed at the show.
Jason said being part of the show last year was very exciting. Last year Oakie won best male of his breed in the first year American English Coonhounds were eligible for competition.
Jason, who has raised coonhounds since the age of 15, leaves the showing up to Sianna and Oakie. Before marrying Jason Sianna showed horses.
She said it is a lot of fun to show Oakie because he has a good personality.
�He is a very good-tempered dog,� she said.
During last year�s Westminster Kennel Club show Oakie got a lot of air time as he and his owners�appeared on the "Today Show" and were part of several commercials.
The Spieths' goal for this year�s competition is to win best of breed, allowing them to compete for best of show honors on Tuesday night. Individual breeds will compete Monday.
�If (Oakie) wins best of breed I would pass out right there in the show arena,� Sianna said. �We will be thrilled to win best of group.�
Oakie and the rest of the competitors in the hound group will take to the ring at 1 p.m. Monday. He will be in ring 11; the coverage will be webcast at www.westminsterkennelclub.org. Group coverage will be on CNBC from 8-11 p.m. Monday.
The current top American English Coonhound came from Jason and Sianna. The Spieths are one of a couple of American English Coonhound breeders in the country.
Oakie has won three American Kennel Club group shows and one United Kennel Club honor. He has also been World Champion, won best of show twice and has garnered numerous other awards.
The Spieths are planning on entering Oakie in United Kennel Club hunts this year in hopes he can make Grand Knight status.
The Spieths said none of this would be possible without the help of their sponsors The Archery Shop, Blazer Lights, Lavern and Gearldine Spieth, Steve and Carol Cook and Lauri Cook.

Don't mess with the Clooninator.
George Clooney says he won't accept the Daily Mail's apology over a story it published saying the mother of Clooney's fiancee Amal Alamuddin doesn't approve of them marrying and her family's religion will cast Alamuddin out as a result.
The normally media-friendly star lashed out at the British publication in an editorial for USA Today earlier this week, prompting the Mail to immediately pull the story from its website and issue an apology -- even though it said the story was not a fabrication.
That's about the strangest thing I've ever seen a newspaper do -- other than hire me.
Anyway, Clooney isn't having it.
In another USA Today piece, published Friday, Clooney writes, "Either they were lying originally or they're lying now." He added, "There is one constant when a person or company is caught doing something wrong. The coverup is always worse."
"They knew ahead of time that they were lying," Clooney writes. "The Mail knew the story in question was false and printed it anyway. What separates this from all of the ridiculous things the Mail makes up is that now, by their own admission, it can be proved to be a lie. In fact, a premeditated lie."
Geez ... he's making me feel bad, and I didn't even write the thing.
He also calls the Mail "the worst kind of tabloid."
Your move, Daily Mail.

Labor Day weekend serves as a final chance for many to get outdoors and enjoy activities. No one enjoyed the weekend more than the participants of the first annual Wabash Carp Fest held in New Haven Friday, Aug. 30 and Saturday, Aug. 31.
Labor Day weekend serves as a final chance for many to get outdoors and enjoy activities. No one enjoyed the weekend more than the participants of the first annual Wabash Carp Fest held in New Haven Friday, Aug. 30 and Saturday, Aug. 31. In addition to the fun, the event raised several thousand dollars for hometown girl Brittany Richardson, who continues her battle with cancer.
With the abundance of Asian Carp in the regional waterways, New Haven proved to be an excellent spot to add the fishing tournament, which was modeled after one held in Bath, Ill. over the past few years. A group of area fishing enthusiasts ventured to the tournament and got the idea to create a similar event in southern Illinois.
"After going to Bath, which is the original Carp Fest, we just got the idea from there," said Adam Carney, who served as one of the main coordinators of the event with D.R. Mobley. "With Brittany getting sick, it just all tied together and was a great way for us to raise money to help support her as she goes through treatment."
The Wabash Carp Fest, tagged as "Carpin' for Brittany," began Friday evening with a nighttime bowfishing tournament. Of the multiple teams that participated, more than 100 fish were speared, some weighing in between 40 and 50 pounds.
"We had a few 40-50 pound big headed carp brought in Friday during the bowfishing tournament," said Carney. "There are not as many carp in this area, but they are much bigger."
This past summer at the Bath Carp Fest, more than 114,000 carp were secured by teams over the two-day period. It was estimated that several hundred carp would be collected during the two days of competition for the Wabash Carp Fest.
There was no real strategy for the 20-plus teams that competed during the morning session of the Wabash Carp Fest Saturday morning. Rules were put in place and fish could only be collected in the Wabash River, eliminating the Ohio River as an optional waterway. Also, only dip nets were allowed and each boat could contain as many team members as the boat would allow. Carney, who works in the oilfields, turned his boat into a family affair, including his son, Aden, and his wife, Leslie, who were both armed and ready with nets. The Carney family of New Haven was also joined by friend Mike Nelson of Omaha to complete their team.
Other teams traveled a little further to the competition. Two teams from Breese were included in the morning session, filled with carp-catching enthusiasts of all ages.
"We met Adam (Carney) in Bath and we told him we would come down and participate in this event if he would let us know," said Albert Johnson, who was sporting a "Si Robertson" beard. "We have competed in Bath several years. This year was the fourth year for it. There is no real strategy, just be prepared and duck."
The Bath event also includes a complete festival with prizes for the best dressed team, and various giveaways and raffles along with food and entertainment. The Wabash Carp Fest included several giveaways and a prize for the team with the best costumes. Prizes were awarded following the afternoon session and evening entertainment was provided along with food and fun. All proceeds were earmarked for Robertson, who is currently in Indianapolis for treatment.
"We've put a lot of time into this event, and I hope it will be even bigger and better next year," said Carney. "We could not have done it without the help of the girls that are friends with Brittany (Richardson) that call themselves 'Just us, too.' Those girls have been a huge help."
The morning session got on the water just after 9 a.m. with half the boats putting in the water at New Haven while the other half dropped in at Old Shawneetown, meeting in the middle. A few fish were flying around but they came alive once the crews got into the Wabash River. Within a few seconds of entering into a pod of Asian Carp, they were flying overhead and four landed inside Carney's boat without the need of nets. The carp continued to be stirred up as boats began snagging the white invaders, and a team from Dahlgren hit the jackpot, scoring more than 10 in one pass of the discovered school.
The "flying fish," which can sometimes be dangerous due to their size, get nervous when a motor comes through. They begin jumping out of the water. Once one gets in the air, the others seem to follow suit. Many reach heights of more than six feet from the water and travel sideways, which causes them to land inside a vessel. Also, some of them will record notable hang time while drifting through the air, sometimes right over the top of one's head as they travel down the river.
The fish are also very thin skinned, and their eyes sit down alongside their mouth, making them a very unattractive catch in more ways than one. They are not considered good for eating, and their presence is becoming increasingly bad for the environment.
Although the ultimate goal was to score the most fish and be declared the winner of the event, none of the Wabash Carp Fest teams were too concerned about the title. They were more focused on having fun and raising money for a great cause, a perfect way to spend the long weekend in New Haven. The biggest payoff seemed to be when they were surrounded by flying fish and catching one in the air was complemented by "hoops and hollers" from teammates as the fish were added to barrels aboard the boats.
The Pezzoni-Clifford team of New Haven and Shawneetown were fully ready to support the cause for Brittany, noting, "Our kids go to school with Brittany and we wanted to do what we could to help. And, it's gonna be fun."
Even the Golden Eagles and Bald Eagles seemed to be enjoying the tournament. The regal feathered birds were stirred up and kept a watchful eye on the fish that were jumping out of the water during the contest. Their presence added a nice touch to a great day and a great cause in New Haven.

Attractions & Activities
Tired of the crowds? Need some time away? Look no further than Krakadouw....
Krakadouw is an area of the Northern Cedarberg. It is similar to the better known Tafelberg and Wolfberg climbing areas, but has a different, more remote vibe. The walk-in is easier than tafelberg, but takes about as long. The climbing takes place on amphitheaters on the Southern and Western sides of the Groot Krakadouw peak, as well as some single pitch routes on middle Krakadouw. You'll need a Cape Nature Conservation permit. No bolting allowed, and no fires. Need further convincing? Picture gallery [here]
Getting there
Driving (3h45m)
Drive up the N7 for 215km.
Take the R364, passing through Clanwilliam and over the Pakhuis pass (Rocklands). Turn right after 42km on to a gravel road towards Wuppertal / Biedouw.
Turn right after 26km towards Heuningvlei (signposted), then follow the signs to Heuningvlei.
Just after the final descent and stream crossing, about 1km before Heuningvlei village you will notice a turn-off to the left (not signposted).
Turn left and drive about 300m up the road where you can take a road to the right. About 75m up this road you will see a gate and a Cape Nature Conservation signboard. Park in the cleared area before the gate on the right.
NB: GPS maps think that the 11km road directly from Pakhuis to Heuningvlei village is do-able. Unless you have friends in the CNC, keys for the gates and a good 4x4/donkey cart you'll need to follow the directions above...
Walking in (3hr)
From the parking lot, follow the road to the Heuningvlei hut (a small stone hut). From the hut, leave the road and cross the marshy stream (heading South) and walk up a steep, clearly defined path to vlakte.
On this vlakte there is an obvious pointy beacon. Here, you must choose whether to follow the path to the summit, or to take the climbers track to the neck between groot and middel Krakadouw.
Summit path (clearly marked): From the beacon on the vlakte just above the hut follow the path along the vlakte. You will pass though a line of cedar trees and the path will take you up a valley towards the summit. From the top of the valley (last reliable water) you can follow a cairned path towards the Southern trig beacon (some scrambling required). Roughly 250m NE of the S summit beacon there is an obvious S facing cave which can sleep several people.
Climbers Path to Nek: From the beacon on the vlakte just above the hut leave the summit path and walk towards and through a clump of dead cedar trees. Walk up a sandy gully and onto another vlakte. Keeping a cedar grove on your right head up the valley towards the nek following the cairns. Camp on the Nek or traverse towards the amphitheaters to a small bivvy cave.

Descent Notes
Version 1: Follow stone beacons from the trig survey summit, down to a grassy vlakte. A beacon indicates where one breaks left, towards Clanwilliam, down a subsidiary gully. From here, follow from 'Wolfberg Cracks-like' passages, climbing down chockstones until eventually emerging the massive grey tower separating the two climbing amphitheaters. Follow the right hand (i.e. Heuningvlei side) gully behind it, down more chockstones till above the saddle halfway up the tower. Three abseils down on the Heuningvlei side to get down. Note: The directions are given as one descends, facing outwards. Written by Mike Scott, 1988 MCSA journal.
Version 2: Walk and scramble into the large grass filled gully between the main and subsidiary amphitheaters. Follow this towards the wall. Water will be found here. Just after this point stay left and scramble down into a grassy gully. Follow this to a point where you can traverse right (facing out). Just above and to the right of the gendarme a good abseil anchor shall be found (look around for it). 30m takes you into the gap. The next abseil anchor is towards the subsidiary amphitheater.

Some pages have information already and others are work in progress.
I hope you will find my stories sometimes interesting and ocassionally humorous. All comments welcome.
Let me hear from you especially if your name is Dawson, Musgrove, Hurtley, Paley….or any of the other family names that crop up in future.

The last time I wrote about CrossFit, I received numerous emails and was the subject of countless blogs decrying my categorization of this popular workout as a fad. Three years later, it shows no signs of petering out. In fact, CrossFit has gained in popularity, with studios popping up all over the city.
"CrossFit has evolved so much," said Adonna Greaves, a Montreal CrossFit trainer who owns her own studio. "It's not the same as it was even three years ago."
In its early days, CrossFit made its name by bringing exercisers to their knees, which is okay if you're fit, healthy and accustomed to being pushed. But there were plenty of injuries, some of them serious, that were the result of ill-prepared exercisers being pushed too hard, too fast.
The brainchild of a former gymnast, CrossFit boasts that its workouts are designed to build athletes. The exercises come from track, gymnastics and Olympic-style weightlifting and include callisthenics and plyometrics, all of which are designed to improve balance, agility, speed and power. They don't follow a specific pattern, but rather are combined into "workouts of the day" that mix all these elements into short, intense workouts.
But it's not just the intensity of CrossFit that makes it so challenging. Many of the movements and exercises demand a high degree of skill. And many are done at a speed that can compromise technique in all but the most fit and accomplished.
Poor skills combined with too much speed or too much weight is a recipe for pain and injury. Add multiple repetitions and a dose of fatigue to that recipe and the odds of feeling the pain are even greater.
Performed with the right technique and with an appropriate base level of fitness, however, CrossFit has the potential to deliver not just great fitness results, but a sense of accomplishment that keeps you coming back for more.
"It's addictive," said Greaves. "Especially for people who have been involved in competitive sports. CrossFit encourages friendly competition, not just against your peers but with CrossFitters all over the world."
But as appealing as the combination of competition, intensity and complexity is for athletes and veteran exercisers, it's not the best formula for novices. And while CrossFitters talk a lot about "universal scalability," which means adjusting load and intensity based on individual skills and fitness levels, it takes weeks of instruction and supervision and lots of quality repetition to get all the exercises right.
"It comes down to coaching," said Julie Beaumont, a CrossFit coach and co-owner of CrossFit de l'Ouest, when asked about whether CrossFit is suitable for new exercisers.
Agreed. Yet, despite making considerable strides in the last few years, there's still plenty of work to be done to ensure that CrossFit coaches are qualified to lead such intense, technical workouts. Currently, all it takes is a two-day workshop to go from a CrossFit enthusiast to a CrossFit coach. And while someone like Greaves, who has more than 30 years experience in the fitness industry and multiple certifications from various fitness organizations, may be able to get by with such a short training session, less experienced individuals, especially those with no previous fitness training, need more knowledge and practice before coaching others.
So even though additional workshops in some of the specialty areas tackled in CrossFit, such as power lifting, gymnastics, strongman and football, have been added in recent years, it's still possible for an under-qualified coach to hang a CrossFit shingle and call themselves certified.
That need for coaches to have an extensive and varied knowledge base coupled with sufficient hands-on experience is particularly crucial when dealing with novice exercisers who have little or no athletic background.
Beaumont and Greaves are well aware that novice exercisers take longer than former athletes and gym rats to learn the skills and develop the baseline level of strength, speed, flexibility and agility CrossFit requires. Both CrossFit de l'Ouest and CrossFit Adonnics offer several weeks of introductory classes designed to teach the basic movement patterns necessary to complete the daily workouts safely and efficiently.
But it's not just novice exercisers who need the help of a quality trainer. Exercisers, even seasoned exercisers, with chronic injuries need advice on how to modify exercises to accommodate individual weaknesses, strength imbalances and reduced joint range of motion.
Yet, despite this caution for novices, those with chronic injuries and anyone who's been out of the gym for a while can gain from CrossFit. First, it's built a wonderful community of exercisers who not only like to compete against each other but are the first to cheer when a newbie finally lifts a weighted bar overhead.
Second, it's a dynamic workout that changes constantly, which beats away boredom. And it uses a lot of equipment not found in the average gym including sandbags, oversized tires, slam balls (a weighted ball similar to a medicine ball) and weighted sleds and vests, which add variety and challenge.
Finally, it works every part of your body and then some, making you well prepared physically for whatever life throws your way.
So if you've always believed that a workout isn't a workout unless it hurts and are energized when competing against the guy beside you, then CrossFit is probably a good fit.
But if you're new to exercise, have chronic sore knees, shoulders or back, hate to sweat and only tolerate exercise because you know it's good for you, you may want to give CrossFit a miss.

What, if any, scientific explaination is there for the effects of a closed bolt versus an open bolt on a paintball's accuracy?
A lot of people have bought into the WGP's advertising of a cocker being more accurate gun that gets better distance. I am aware that distance is determinded by velocity, and accuracy is mainly determined by the barrel and paint. But could other factors in the gun play into these, and if so, how?

Thursday on the Editorial Page, my colleagues on the Editorial Board have produced lists of headlines they'd like to see in 2014. They are wishes, hopes and dreams of better things for Rockfish. My headlines, however, are things I won't be surprised to see in 2014. Here are some:
Falcon Road project delayed until 2015
Rockford officials said unexpected haggles over construction costs have delayed reconstruction of Falcon Road and Airport Drive at Chicago Rockford International Airport. Construction, which was slated to begin in the fall of 2013, probably won't begin until spring 2015, officials said. Airport Director Mike Dunn's secretary said Dunn would probably comment after being pried off the ceiling.
Passenger rail five years away
Rockford and Winnebago County leaders say passenger rail is at least five years away, citing a continuing conflict between the Canadian National Railway and the state of Illinois over costs of upgrading the tracks between Chicago and Dubuque, Iowa. Train advocates, who say they are always told the train is five years away, have thrown up their hands in frustration.
Reclaiming First project now estimated to cost $75 million
Once again, projected costs have escalated for a project to build indoor sports venues at the old Ingersoll Building in downtown Rockford and to add indoor and outdoor soccer fields at Sportscore II in Loves Park. Rockford Park District leaders say the project is the Rockford area's most important project, by far.
School District pressured to build new schools
A Rockford developer has convinced the Rockford School Board to abandon the old plan to spend money from a bond issue to improve all schools, and instead to spend some of it to build new schools on the far northeast side.
Rockford unemployment remains at 11 percent
Joblessness in Rockford remained stubbornly at 11 percent for the first half of 2014, but economic development officials nevertheless hailed the record turnout of 937 "usual suspects" at their annual banquet at Giovanni's. Featured speaker was Howell "Buddy" Halftrack, chairman of the Williston, N.D., Development Council, who told the crowd, "You can do it; all you need is an oil boom." All 937 people left feeling very happy with themselves.
Library director Novak spotted in public!
Rockford Public Library Director Frank Novak was spotted in public Friday, the first sighting of the director in years. A reporter attempted to interview him in Schnuck's parking lot on East State Street, but he evaded her.
Asked for comment, Library Board Chairman and defacto spokesman Paul Logli said, "Hooray! He's finally come out of his office. But where did he go?"
Tollway to remain under construction forever
Officials of the Illinois Tollway Authority conceded Tuesday that the widespread rumors are true: the Jane Addams Tollway from Elgin to Rockford will remain under construction indefinitely.
"The tollway has a cone storage problem, meaning that we'll have to keep the orange cones along the Jane Addams Tollway indefinitely," said Kristi LaFleur, tollway director. "Also, perpetual construction is an excellent way to give road contractors a steady income. We're sure our customers will understand. And to show them they're special, we're offering our 'Orange cone collection,' two, personalized orange cones for just $29.95," she said.
TV weathercaster sued by Machesney man
Hughie T. Fluorescent of Machesney Park has sued WREX-13 in 17th Circuit Court, claiming Eric Sorensen's forecast last Monday evening was not the "most accurate," as the station advertised.
"Eric said it would snow six inches or more, so I attached the plow to my F-150 and in doing so, put my back out," Fluorescent said. "Then all we had was flurries."
The station said it has agreed to say its forecasts are "mostly accurate" from now on.

Gardner Museum's new concert hall
Gardner Museum's new concert hall
Master acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota worked with musicians in November 2011 to test the acoustics of the Gardner Museum's new Calderwood Performance Hall.
Staging filled the concert hall during construction.
Construction work on the skylight of the concert hall in April 2011.
There are three levels of balconies, each featuring only a single row of seats.
Musicians practice in the new concert hall, where there is no stage. Musicians play with seats surrounding them on all sides.

The undersides of the balconies have an egg-crate design to aid acoustics.
To improve acoustics, the oak-paneled walls have been laser cut with small notches.
Isabella Stewart Gardner originally constructed her museum with a two-story Music Room, seen here around 1903. In 1914, the Music Room was demolished to create space for additional galleries, including the Tapestry Room, where concerts continued.

Le coq sportif, partner and official supplier of the
Tour de France, presents the 2013 Maill ot Jaune. This unique jersey is specially designed for the 100th year of the Tour.
The 2013 Maillot Jaune - a symbol of the world's greatest bike race - brings innovation to the fore. The ever symbolic yellow of the jersey, even brighter this year, features a translucent « Moor's Head » imprint on the body of the jersey. This is a first, in recognition of the island - Corsica - which is to host the Grand Départ of the 100th Tour de France on 29th June.
Another special feature of the 2013 race is the grand finish, which is to take place, for the first time, at night, inspiring le coq sportif to incorporate an array of reflective detail in the golden tunic.
The Maillot Jaune and the winner ofthe 2013 Tour de France will be like a spark in the night.
We cannot display this gallery
Le coq sportif highlights the finest of sporting partnershipswith an original and purely French stamp, creating a Maillot Jaune with a new dimension. This year the Tour de France 100ème label uses reflective effect in contrast to the flocked le coq sportif logo. The fashionabl e and sporty flocking detail provides texture and is reminiscent of the striking past jerseys by the Frenchbrand.
The 2013 Maillot Jaune therefore draws on its rich heritage for an authentic design with a wide, flat-seamed collar, taking inspiration from the 1951 Tour jersey. The initials HD and reflective inscription paying tribute to Henri Desgrange, founder of the Tour de France, reads: «En 1903, Henri Desgrange créait le plus grand évènement sportif de tous les temps» («In 1903, Henri Desgrange created the greatest sporting event of all time»).
Designed using a mix of high-tech materials, the 2013 Maillot Jaune is extremely lightweight.
The jersey's true anatomical fit, mimicking the cyclist's body shape, ensures that it is genuinely aerodynamic. This is enhanced by transparent silicone bands at the waist and on the sleeves, which ensure the jersey stays in place and act as wind barriers. The elastane-mix sleeves, which are flexible and seamless, are also designed for the enhanced comfort of cyclists. They extend to just below the triceps, avoiding pressure points for improved blood flow in the arms.
Air circulation is achieved via the mid-length zip and two ventilation panels in the back, which include one ultra-breathable 3D mesh panel at the base of the nape and a further micro-aerated mesh panel across the back. Each of these elements regulates the cyclist's body temperature based on weather conditions, thereby helping to limit energy loss. Finally, the jersey is manufactured using only flat non-irritating seams.
Le coq sportif has relied on its aptitude for innovative flair to provide the champions of the Tour de France with a daring mix of technology and style.

The motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France,the film tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption - a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Ex-prisoner Jean Valjean is hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
To get showtimes, enter your location to find theaters showing this movie in your area.
A musical that spans 15 years, sports a principal cast of 10, and attempts to recreate the 1832 Paris Uprising is going to have a lot of meat to it. And the big screen adaptation of the stage hit Les Misérables manages to weave it all together (in a nearly 3-hour cut). Performed almost entirely in song, director Tom Hooper (Oscar-winner for The King's Speech) sticks to source material while reinventing the movie musical with live performances. No lip syncing here — stars Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, and Russell Crowe belt their tunes with all the imperfection of real life. It's a tactic that works wonders and, at times, falls completely flat. For that, Les Mis is daring and sporadically electrifying, but may leave purists wanting more.
After 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread, Jean Valjean (Jackman) is released into a world that no longer has a place for him. As a convict, he wears a marker of shame. It's only after meeting a forgiving priest, who gifts with a church's silver and an alibi from the police, does Valjean see a path to redemption. He rips up his parole papers and sets out to put ''Jean Valjean'' behind him. In his journey, he becomes the owner of a factory, meets a struggling woman, Fantine (Hathaway), who sells her body to earn money for her daughter, tracks down the young girl, Cosette, and helps people in need to live better lives. Les Mis has a large girth filled with plot and characters, and Hooper keeps it all intact.
But it's for better or worse. What works on stage doesn't always click in on screen, characters appear and reappearing without much explanation. Valjean's former incarcerator, Javert (Crowe), is always on his tail, even when the parole-breaker hasn't seen him in nearly a decade. When Valjean eventually makes his way to Paris, the action of the film completely switches focus to a new set of characters: heartthrob rebel Marius (Eddie Redmayne), his band of protesting students, and grownup versions of Cosette (Amanda Seyfried) and Éponine (Samantha Barks). The cinematic treatment spotlights the show's clunky construction — threads could have been snipped, but who wants to be the guy that cut a number from Les Misérables?
With the breadth of drama going in the film, there is still plenty of good to be found. Jackman delivers as Valjean, a physically demanding part both in voice and presence. While not as adept at the gentler moments (with all the liberties taken with the on-set singing, rarely does the musical soften and hush the performances), Jackman blasts Valjean's many professions to godlike fanfare. Eddie Redmayne enlivens the part of Marius, a thankless love-stricken part that the young actor deepens with ideas of war and friendship. And the talk of the town, Anne Hathway, lives up the hype: her single-shot rendition of ''I Dream a Dream'' shot up-close and personal is worth the price of admission alone.
Sadly, the other half of the ensemble rarely live up the high expectations established early on. Crowe shines in the in-between moments of high drama but can't land either of his two big numbers, sticking to one note and draining the film of bravado. Almost the inverse is Barks, who was cast from the West End production of Les Mis. While everyone else is in a movie, she's stuck in the stage production, going big and showy when the movie needs subtlety the most. Much of the flaccid nature of the second act of the film is on Hooper, whose bold, unflinching close-ups are magical in the early portion of the movie and are relentless later on. He overdoses us with the style — ''One Day More,'' the number that closes Act I of the stage show, is so lacking in the necessary spark that it's hard to imagine another hour more of the movie.
Les Misérables is the definition of mixed bag, and it's due to an adherence to the show's 30-year history. With an incredible cast, vivid photography, and booming sounds, the film version needed more of a stamp to mak
