text: Hi, I'm looking for bike to bike communication, connection to my cell phone and possibly a GPS unit for voice directions. I have been told, by my local bmw dealer, that they would recommend the Scala Rider (by Cardo) as the communication device of choice. Anyone have any comments on this? Or any other products?

How do I pay?
Rob Watt, owner of TrailMaster Adventure Gear in Monument, CO (http://<WBR>trailmasteradventures.com) has come through again with:
FOUR Changing Mats!
The Changing Mat is a lightweight folding mat that will keep your wheel out of the dirt when changing a flat. The pocket it packs into becomes a temporary storage place to keep all the small parts, like your axle nut, value stem or tools when doing a tire change. It will keep your socks clean when changing out of your riding gear. It serves as a door mat when getting in and out of your tent. Use it for a food prep station when you don't have a picnic Mat. Only your imagination will limit the many ways you can use The Changing Mat.
Come on dude, I'm not Harry bleeping Potter!
this is one practical product. a few times we were on the desert and had a flat, wish we had this. the pesty fine sand will get to your wheel bearings. think of mud too.
no, never thought of it for being a handy tent mat. great idea for sure. can be used to prop my sleeping bag pillow too.
for being inexpensive and with unlimited use.
thank you again bill.
overnight, i received 3 payments.
your participation especially if you're a noobie is great, but we have to focus on the planning.
every time someone pays with no information - that eats up my time and wearing us out. i know you PPs don't want to read, neither we.
only then you don't find the answer - SEND ME A PM (i still have 134 unread PMs).
EDITED: there are 10 spots on the waiting list. paypal will put you on the list + $20 DONATION TO RIDER DOWN FOUNDATION
thanks for all the support gs.
good place to practice is indian ranch road to ballarat.
or if you're riding in from trona, make a right to ballarat and go north via indian ranch road. you get your dose of dirt on your way to the campground.
people asking me if i will lead a group ride. no specific plan yet since i have to be back at the campground before 5pm to prep dinner.
GS.. I am planning to ride up in the morning. Perhaps we can team up in the afternoon for a run like Joel describe??
I'm sure it can be arranged.
Closer to the event I'll go over some maps with Joel and my buddy's suggestions and plot a route.
This trip will be my first time to DV. I have Continental TKC 80's on my BMW 650 XC. Will those be fine for this trip? I recently bought the bike used and these were on it.
Those will be fine. Just make sure they have enough miles left in them before you leave. All of the riding in Death Valley is pretty rough on tires.
not sure if I should reply with a or a or
but I will say that we all had a good time
I don't often have the pleasure of riding with many people that bust into celebration when they crash
I need to find the video that Justin took that Herrhelmet posted for me
where we can here you screaming victoriously about making it to the top
too bad your bike popped into neutral and you fell over
its on my home computer and I have not been home all month and will be gone Feb also
can't wait til March
EDIT: found it
you rock Nicole !

You probably don't need it but just in case I have a large Coleman propane stove. It's a three burner guide series with two 10,000 btu burners and one 15,000.
I'm pretty set on driving in now. If I don't finish(or start ) in time a generous member has offered his.
geoff....we may need the 3 burner stove, will let you know in a few days.
big favor - lots of people are riding in and good chance many of them will not be able to bring a camp chair. if you're trucking, please bring an extra chair or two to share. thanks.
I am bringing my commercial two burner as well....
If you need, you can borrow one of both of our 3 burner stoves. But I'm riding in, so somebody else would need to transport them
Here's what I'll be bringing:
Full size folding table
2 burner Coleman Stove (& coffee)
Large cooler or 2
Hand full of camp chairs
Anybody in the western Ventura County area that is riding up and would like some gear hauled, feel free to PM me.
If your going please update if you have not already.
SAR Input form:
thanks jim, cathy and dave.
i will know within a week if we will need the stoves for sure. i am bringing the 3-burner stove too and a gridle. i think cathy has the gridle too.
keith thanks for the campchairs too, that will make a lot of people happy.
steve of enduro star is donating a trail stand...
though dv has a lot of rocks to prop your bike, you could use this elsewhere and even in your garage.

There's a reason kids are so cuteUploaded: May 28, 2013
Kids are cute for a reason. They say completely absurd things, like to destroy whatever they can get their hands on, and have a deep attachment to the word 'no.' But they're so cute that instead of only being infuriating, these actions inspire laughter and even viral videos. The following video explores the idea of an adult acting the same way as a two-year-old. Put your giggle caps on, folks, because this nonsense is funny for all ages.
Conversations With My Two-Year-Old

Storms and cooler temperatures will most likely change the dynamics of fishing. Trout and salmon fishing in the Great Lakes has been very good for the most part.
Southeast Lower Peninsula
Lake Erie: Is still producing a few walleye off Fermi and in Brest Bay in 16 to 18 feet of water. Perch have been found in a variety of depths and locations but most were fishing in shallow waters around Stony Point, Brest Bay and the Raisin River Buoys 1 & 2. Those launching from Bolles Harbor found good numbers of perch in 18 feet of water around the E Buoy and 16 feet of water off Toledo Beach.
Huron River: Water levels are low from Huroc Park to the mouth. Most anglers are shore fishing for smallmouth bass and catfish.
Detroit River: A few walleye are still being caught below Sugar Island. Anglers are jigging or bottom bouncing with crawler harnesses. Perch were reported around Rat Island. Good smallmouth bass action near Sugar Island and the Cross Dike.
Lake St. Clair: Had lots of walleye activity in the south end near the Dumping Grounds. Most are drifting crawler harnesses.
Lexington: Perch are hitting five to six miles south in 18 feet of water. Pier anglers have caught northern pike and white bass.
Port Sanilac: Perch fishing is spotty but it can be very good if you happen to be in the right spot. Chinook, coho and steelhead were caught in 60 to 90 feet of water.
Harbor Beach: Salmon fishing is good in 60 to 100 feet of water with spoons, dipeys, downrigger and 5 or 10 colored lead lines with offshore boards. Green, orange with glow ladder back or watermelon were good colors. Fair lake trout fishing in 80 to 120 feet of water with spin-glows, squid or flies near the bottom. Green, orange and black or yellow were good colors. Steelhead were caught on color lines in 50 to 100 feet with the same colors. For downriggers, set spoons 25 to 60 feet down. Brown trout were north and south of the harbor. For walleye, fish north of the harbor at first light in 50 to 70 feet of water with crawler harnesses, small spoons or body baits. For perch, try inside the harbor or south of the port. Pike and bass were hitting on spoons or body baits inside the harbor.
Grindstone City: Lake trout and a couple steelhead were caught just off the bottom in 80 to 100 feet of water. Those trolling crank baits in 35 feet of water were catching and releasing a good number of smallmouth bass.
Saginaw Bay: Walleye fishing is pretty much confined to the area north and west of Buoys 1 & 2. Perch are starting to bite around the Spark Plug and the Black Hole. Quanicassee, Sebewaing and Bay Port had few anglers. At Caseville, smallmouth bass were caught off the end of the pier on worms or minnows under a slip bobber.
Flint River: Is producing bluegill and catfish below the Holloway Reservoir Dam.
Mott Lake: Anglers have caught a few small bluegills and the occasional bass.
Lake Fenton: Was producing some large crappie for those fishing in deeper water when boat traffic was light. A couple nice catfish were also caught.
Southwest Lower Peninsula
St. Joseph: Anglers are not having much success as perch fishing continues to be slow. Salmon fishing has also slowed. Fish are still being caught in waters 100 feet or deeper but not as many as previous weeks.
St. Joseph River: Is producing a few bass.
South Haven: Salmon fishing slowed however a few fish were still being caught in 80 to 100 feet of water. Pier fishing was slow and perch fishing was slow.
Kalamazoo River: Is producing northern pike and bass. A good number of catfish are being caught on live or cut bait such as bluegills and suckers or crawlers. The bigger fish have been caught at night.
Grand Haven: Boat anglers continue to catch salmon and trout. Spoons worked well. Try orange up high or blue and green in deeper water. Pier fishing remains slow do to the warm water temperatures.
Grand River at Grand Rapids: Many are shore fishing or wading with the low water levels. Good numbers of catfish are still being caught below the dam when using live or cut bait such as bluegills or suckers.
Grand River at Lansing: Is producing some nice catfish over at the Moore's Park Dam and the Smithville Dam near Eaton Rapids. Stink baits, crawlers or small bluegills were the ticket. Those fishing above the dams have caught bluegill on a pink jig with a red worm.
Looking Glass River: Is producing bullhead, bowfin and pike near Babcock's Landing.
Park Lake: Is producing some panfish.
Muskrat Lake: Is producing some crappie.
Muskegon Lake: Anglers are catching perch near the sand docks in 6 to 12 feet of water. Some were getting limit catches.
Whitehall: Had slow fishing as some were coming back empty handed. Most were heading north or northwest of the port. A few salmon were caught in 150 feet of water. Hot colors were orange, green and blue. Pier anglers caught a few walleye and bluegill on natural baits.
Northeast Lower Peninsula
Cheboygan: Is still producing chinook salmon including an 18 pound fish that was recently harvested. Anglers are using a variety of spoons with silver or green flashers and flies. Good spoons colors were blue, green and yellow or white with a blue nose. In Hammond Bay, anglers are trolling 20 to 30 feet down in 90 feet of water off Nine Mile Point for salmon, steelhead and lake trout. Salmon were caught 25 to 40 feet down in 100 to 120 feet of water off the Biological Station.
Cheboygan River: Small boat and shore anglers are catching smallmouth bass, freshwater drum, rock bass, crappie and northern pike.
Rogers City: Fishing was difficult with east winds and cold water one day or gale force winds out of the northwest the next. If anglers can get out right after the east winds they will catch fish. Try all through the water column in 40 to 120 feet of water. The fish seem scattered but the good news is a lot of baitfish have moved in. Anglers caught chinook, steelhead, lake trout and the occasional Atlantic, brown trout or walleye off Forty Mile Point, Swan Bay, the "Hump" or the Calcite breakwall. Good colors were green, blue, black and white, orange and white, purple, bloody nose or anything that glows early or late.
Presque Isle: Fish straight out, south towards Stoneport or north to the two lighthouses. Chinook were caught deeper near cold water.
Rockport: Is producing lake trout, steelhead, pink and chinook salmon when trolling spoons near Middle Island and Stoneport. Walleye were caught on crank baits or crawler harnesses off Stoneport, False Presque Isle, and Middle Island. Pier anglers caught smallmouth bass when using worms.
Alpena: Anglers caught a few yellow perch, rock bass and catfish in the marina. Those heading out in boats caught smallmouth bass in the Thunder Bay when casting crank baits and a few walleye were caught near North Shore.
Thunder Bay River: Smallmouth bass and rock bass are being caught by shore anglers up near the 9th Street Bridge. Worms and artificial leeches did the trick.
Harrisville: Lake trout are 60 to 70 feet down in 80 to 90 feet of water. They are hitting downriggers and dipsey's with spoons, spin-glows and body baits. Steelhead were caught in 60 to 80 feet of water but higher in the water column. Orange and purple were good colors. Salmon were caught in the same depths as the lake trout and were hitting anything green, white or chrome colored.
Oscoda: Is producing a mixed bag of fish. Lake trout were first followed by steelhead and the occasional salmon. Lake trout were caught in 80 to 100 feet of water with spoons, spin-glows and cut bait. Steelhead and brown trout were caught in 60 to 80 feet of water with anything orange. Salmon were hitting on green or dark colors. Those targeting steelhead picked up a few walleye on small spoons.
Higgins Lake: Is still good for rock bass throughout the lake. This is a good fishery for kids. Lake trout and a few whitefish have been caught by those trolling cowbells, body baits and spoons or jigging with sandkickers, cast masters or Swedish pimples. Perch have been caught in water 60 feet or deeper. Smallmouth bass were hitting around Treasure Island and along the drop-offs.
Houghton Lake: Walleye are being caught along the weed beds in 8 to 12 feet of water. Bluegills and other panfish were also caught near the weed beds in 6 to 8 feet of water.
Tawas: For walleye, anglers are trolling in 15 to 35 feet of water off Jerry's Marina and Buoy #2. Some perch were also caught in 15 to 25 feet of water off Jerry's. Pier anglers caught a good number of northern pike when casting or using live minnows. Perch were caught in the early morning however many were small.
Tawas River: Shore anglers in the lower river caught bass, freshwater drum and catfish.
Au Gres: Walleye fishing is slowing down just like it does every August. Those trolling in deep water north and west of Buoys 1 & 2 are still picking up a few fish as well as those heading straight out from the river and fishing in 25 to 45 feet of water. Perch are starting to bite in 35 feet of water straight out from the river. Catch rates were spotty so move around until you find an active school of fish.
Northwest Lower Peninsula
Harbor Springs: Was slow with only smallmouth bass caught near Harbor Point.
Petoskey: Salmon were caught straight out from the launch and in Bay Harbor 65 to 85 feet down in 100 to 165 feet of water. Pier anglers caught sub-legal smallmouth bass along with some nice rock bass.
Bear River: More anglers are waiting to catch that first salmon. Most are using flies or spawn. A steelhead was caught at the mouth near the "Bobber Hole."
Charlevoix: Catch rates for salmon were hit-or-miss. Anglers are fishing 45 to 120 feet down in waters 100 to over 300 feet deep off North Point and "The Can." Lake trout were caught 100 feet down. Pier anglers caught some nice smallmouth bass when using leeches. Walleye were hitting on crawlers in the early evening.
Lake Charlevoix: Had reports of walleye and some nice smallmouth bass being caught in Oyster Bay. Crawlers worked best.
Traverse City: Boats caught chinook and lake trout. Most of the salmon anglers were running 40 to 90 feet down although depths up to 160 feet were reported. Spoons and flies work best. Smallmouth bass were caught in 15 to 45 feet of water.
Elk River: Those using live bait are catching smallmouth bass and rock bass. Most of the smallmouth were running small.
Boardman River: Catch rates are slow and the fish are running small.
Frankfort: Is producing good numbers of fish 90 to 150 feet down in 150 to 220 feet of water. Meat rigs on dipsey's or downriggers are getting the most hits. Blue was the hot color and ladder backs were the most popular. Some of the chinook are showing signs that the run is getting close like a hooked jaw and the skin is starting to turn dark but the meat is still pink. Fish are being caught in the harbor, Betsie Bay and off the Elberta wall.
Onekama: Fish have been caught by those heading straight out to 125 feet and working in a north, northwest direction while moving out to 225 feet and fishing 90 to 125 down. Meat rigs caught some nice fish in the 15 to 18 pound range.
Portage Lake: Surface temperature was in the high 70's so the bluegills and bass were laying low in water 19 to 23 feet deep. Wigglers and leaches are working well for panfish but the bigger ones are being more selective.
Lake Cadillac: Is producing largemouth bass. Pike fishing was fair to good however most of the fish caught were sub-legal. Those fishing in waters 10 to 15 feet deep caught crappie, rock bass, bluegill and a few perch.
Lake Mitchell: Has good bass fishing in the coves. Anglers are using spinner, surface baits or crawlers. Pike and panfish have also been caught.
Manistee: Had good salmon fishing 50 to 100 feet down in 80 to 250 feet of water. Use glow spoons or plugs in the early morning then switch to meat rigs and green flies later. Pier fishing was slow.
Manistee River: Recent rain did push a couple salmon up into the river.
Ludington: Surface water temperatures were still in the low 70's for the most part. Catch rates are good for salmon and steelhead and consistent for lake trout and brown trout. Try 60 to 120 feet down in 80 to 200 feet of water with green and blue meat rigs or flies. Glow plugs or spoons were best in the early morning.
Pere Marquette River: Also had some chinook salmon moving up into the river. No big numbers yet but the rain and cooler temperatures have a few fish on the move.
Pentwater: Fishing slowed but those heading south and fishing off the dunes caught salmon in 150 feet of water. Fewer steelhead are coming in now. Good colors were green, orange and blue. Pier anglers caught bass and a few perch.
Upper Peninsula
Marquette: Lake trout action for the most part was poor to fair with most anglers reporting two to four fish in five hours of fishing. A few did manage limit catches about six miles east towards Shot Point in 200 to 230 feet of water. Fish the bottom 20 feet. Surface water temperatures cooled to the upper 60's.
Menominee: Is still producing salmon, steelhead and brown trout in 85 to 100 feet of water though the number of fish caught decreased. Anglers traveling past the Whalesback did catch a few in 110 to 120 feet of water. The baitfish are scattered so fish different depths. Walleye were caught in front of Wells State Park when trolling crawler harnesses in 12 to 15 feet of water. Those launching off Stony Point were targeting trout and salmon out near Chambers Island. Catch rates were slow but a few chinook were caught near the bottom in 85 to 100 feet of water.
Menominee River: Is producing smallmouth bass, channel catfish, freshwater drum and the occasional pike when trolling. Walleye were caught but many were small. Try crawler harnesses or rapalas. Shore anglers fishing in the late evening were targeting walleye and smallmouth bass.
Little Bay De Noc: Is still producing some walleye for those trolling or drifting crawlers in 20 to 30 feet of water along the Second and Third Reefs. Catch rates were fair between the Black Bottom and the lighthouse in 14 to 35 feet of water and between the "Fingers" and the Minneapolis Shoals in 25 to 35 feet of water. Perch fishing was fair for those jigging or still-fishing crawlers in 10 to 25 feet of water near Butler Island or 10 to 30 feet off Gladstone Beach.
Ford River: Shore anglers caught smallmouth bass when casting crank baits or top water baits along the bank.
Big Bay De Noc: Walleye seem to be located between the middle and the southern sections of the bay. Smallmouth fishing was excellent as the fish have already started to concentrate south of Garden Bluff and down by Snake Island. This activity is about a month early from previous years. Anglers are drifting along the break with minnows, crawlers or plastic baits 15 to 25 feet down. Fairport had good catches 40 to 90 feet down in 90 to 120 feet of water in the Gap but some were still traveling out to deeper water in search of bigger fish. Try spoons or cut bait.
Au Train: Catch rates for lake trout were poor to fair with most boats averaging only one to three fish in a five hour trip on the flats near Shelter Bay and the shipping channel in 180 to 220 feet of water. The cold front did cool the surface water temperatures to the upper 60's.
Munising: Boat anglers are targeting lake trout in the early morning on the west side of Grand Island, Trout Bay, Grand Portal Point, Trout Reef and Wood Island. The fish were two to eight pounds and some limit catches were reported for those putting in long hours. Pier fishing was non-existent.
Grand Marais: Had fair to good lake trout action five to seven miles north of the bay in 140 to 220 feet of water. Salmon were caught by those trolling halfway down in 50 to 60 feet of water with purple and gold spoons. The coho were 3 to 4 � pounds and were feeding on schools of sticklebacks. Chinook were 6 to 8 pounds. Shore anglers caught a few small pike when casting in the weeds.
St. Mary's River: Walleye are being caught in Raber Bay at Carlton Creek by those fishing just off the weed beds in 12 to 14 feet of water using bottom bouncers with red and white spinner blades and crawler harnesses. Good smallmouth action on the north end of Lime Island around the rock piles in 6 to 8 feet of water when casting tube jigs. A few northern pike were caught off the west side of Kemps Pointe in Fowler Bay when trolling or casting split body baits along the edge of the weeds. Some are targeting perch but few fish were caught. Boat anglers need to watch for rocks and sand bars along the river.
Detour: Is producing a few chinook salmon for those trolling orange and gold spoons 65 feet down in 80 feet of water along the west shore of Drummond Island. Lake trout were caught two to three miles south of the lighthouse in 90 feet of water. Try purple spoons 65 feet down in 90 feet of water. Swedes Point just north of Detour Village is producing some walleye for those trolling bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses with purple and gold spinners. Late evenings were best. Boat anglers around the island need to watch for rocks and sand bars.
Cedarville and Hessel: Perch fishing continues to pick up. Musky Bay and Cedarville Bay are the hot spots. Anglers are also targeting northern pike when still-fishing with chubs.
St. Ignace: Anglers are salmon fishing 40 to 55 feet down between the Coast Guard and the old fuel tank, off the west and southwest shores of Mackinac Island and the northwest and east side of Round Island.

Wondolowski Hat Trick Leads Earthquakes to Thrilling 3-2 Win in Toronto, Improves Playoff Standing
TORONTO, Ontario – The San Jose Earthquakes picked up another road win with a 3-2 victory in Toronto on Saturday afternoon. Chris Wondolowski became the third player in franchise history to score a hat trick in a game with all three goals for San Jose on the afternoon.
The Quakes jumped on top of Toronto early, as Bobby Convey outworked Dan Gargan for the ball in the back, and when he beat him on the dribble, Gargan pulled him down as San Jose earned a penalty. Wondolowski hammered home his team-leading tenth goal of the season, leaving Stefan Frei with no chance on the well taken penalty.
Wondolowski doubled his tally in the 53rd minute after a great buildup found him alone in front of the net, and his finish on a Ryan Johnson cross gave the visitors a 2-0 advantage.
Dwayne De Rosario pulled the home side within a goal in the 66th minute as he chipped Jon Busch to his back post, which looked to give Toronto some momentum.
The Quakes had other ideas as just one minute later, Wondolowski became the third player in franchise history to record a hat trick, joining Landon Donovan and Dwayne De Rosario, who did the trick in back to back games in September of 2003. Wondolowski was played in again by Johnson, and his right-footed blast from just inside the area was an immediate response to De Rosario's goal.
Toronto answered again, this time in the 79th minute when Maicon Santos tapped in a Chad Barrett cross, but it wouldn't be enough as the Quakes held on for a 3-2 win. San Jose return home to host the Chicago Fire on Wednesday night at Buck Shaw Stadium at 8 p.m. PT. The Earthquakes began the day in a deadlock in seventh position with Seattle Sounders FC, and left BMO Field with 39 points, and a hold on the sixth position in the playoff standings pending results on Saturday evening.

Statistics: Shots: 16; Shots on Goal: 4; Saves: 6; Fouls: 8; Offsides: 5; Corners: 4.
On the result:
"If you look at it now, it's a great win. We knew it was going to be hard coming in and to get three points was huge for us. I'm very, very happy we got the three points. I think you saw two teams that want to make the playoffs, it wasn't just sit back on defense, both sides were going for it. The goal right after Toronto pulled one back was a killer for them, and I was very pleased with our performance, our drive and our fight. We are very proud of the club, the team and the players and how they played today."
On Chris Wondolowski's play:
"Wondo (Chris Wondoloski) has been doing it all year and now he has 12 goals to show for it. That's not bad for a young man from Danville, is it? He deserves everything he gets and he has done so well for us all year. I always have him in the team, and that is why. What I like about Wondo, is that he is back in his own box tackling, fighting and heading right after he scores a goal.
On his hat trick:
"Ryan (Johnson) sent in two great balls and Bobby (Convey) created a penalty and those were the three goals. A lot of the credit has to go to the team right there. I though RJ (Johnson) had a great game and I thought he was the player of the game for us today.
On his two-way style of play:
"I know my position, and playing outside midfield I need to track back defensively and I'm not just a one-way guy. On Chad's (Barrett) chance late in the game, I'm not sure who played it in, but it was a great ball and I saw him there, and got in there to break it up."
On his role on the two goals in the run of play:
"You always have to remain patient and just be ready when it's your time to get in there and give your best effort for the team. It was a good ball through by Geovanni (on the second Quakes goal) and I saw Wondo (Chris Wondolowski) making a run at the back post. I made sure I took my time and got the ball there, he just did the rest. That pretty much happened again on the last one, Geovanni was making a run near post, and it didn't quite get there, but it found Wondolowski and he finished it nicely.
On Wondolowski's play:
"Chris (Wondolowski) is our hero, he is our guy and when he scores, its for him and his family and for everyone. We are really happy for him and real proud of him and he deserves everything. He isn't going to stop, he is just going to keep going. He has been patient all of these years and he is certainly taking advantage of his opportunities."

text: I just received a reel of the hex 1.10 today, I would love to give it a go but I have never been a big fan of poly so Im not sure about what tension I should start with.. I play with heavy spin on both sides (bought hex because it might give me even more spin) I use old 6.1 classics strung with wilson reaction 16 g at 55 pounds and love the feel i get from it. I know I should string poly a bit lower, but it feels wrong to go as low as 50:???: perhaps I should start with a hybrid hex/mains-reaction/crosses? any hex users who can give me some advice?

O'Connell is an instructor at the Stanford University School of Medicine's department of head and neck surgery. She's also an elephant specialist. In her newest book, "An Elephant's Life," she illustrates through her photos the complex lives of these African animals.
"If you don't mind roughing it, our field camp is a five-star experience," O'Connell writes in the book, which was published last November.
"An Elephant's Life" showcases years of O'Connell's observations of the magnificent creatures' lives, moment by moment, from a baby elephant's first steps to the declining dominance of a male leader. The collection of photographs shot by O'Connell and her husband Timothy Rodwell also depicts the serene beauty of Etosha National Park, where the research camp sits year-round.
"I thought in part to put this book together because it seemed like the obvious way to show people how an elephant grows up in society and what kind of challenges they face," O'Connell told the Weekly.
Neither O'Connell nor Rodwell were elephant specialists when they started their research about 15 years ago. O'Connell says they were both dedicated field scientists who happened to be in the right place at the right time when the opportunity arose.
At Stanford, O'Connell teaches science writing and researches different ways large mammals perceive sound. Before studying elephants, O'Connell researched vibration communication in insects in the Hawaiian Islands.
"When I was traveling in Africa, I noticed that elephants were behaving very similarly to the insects I studied in Hawaii. One thing led to another, and 10 years later I was able to show that elephants communicate in a very similar way," O'Connell said.
Her most fundamental discovery has been that elephants' vocalizations travel through the ground, and that they can detect and interpret them through their feet.
Sequences of photographs in the book capture intimate greetings between elephants, and the various ways elder elephants keep their young in check. One of the most emotional sets of photographs shows a mother and sister elephant rescuing an elephant calf after he fell into the watering hole.
"It was a really fulfilling experience to think about how you would tell the story of a life in images, rater than words," O'Connell said.
Although she has no formal photography training, O'Connell has become a seasoned nature photographer over the years spent observing and capturing elephants on camera. She says she has learned to overexpose her shots so she can capture the movement of the mammals at dusk.
"One of the trickiest parts is not being afraid to overexpose," O'Connell said. "It took many years of experimenting with exposure and learning on the job." Because elephants are such large creatures, O'Connell says that she sometimes has to sacrifice shutter speed for depth of field.
O'Connell remembers her first years when she and her husband photographed with film. "It took us years to get some of the film developed when we were living in Africa," she said. "With the advent of digital photography it was just so amazing."
The couple currently shoot with a Nikon D700 Digital SLR with an ISO of 6400 and a fast auto-focus lens.
"I feel very privileged to be living right on the dinner plate of all of these animals, including the lions," O'Connell said. "You get to see the soap operas of all these different creatures."
O'Connell says she sees and photographs something different, unexpected and spectacular every day. "I've had some hairy moments alone when a long, wrinkly trunk has suddenly appeared ... on more than one occasion, a dripping proboscis has practically knocked over my tripod and assaulted me with heavy breathing and bad breath, like a giant worm. ..." she wrote.
She enjoys capturing the human-like characteristics of elephants, and says it shows us that humans are not as complex as we sometimes would like to think.
"When you see another social animal acting like your own species, it's a reminder that there are other special animals and maybe we shouldn't be thinking we are as special as we are," O'Connell says. "Because there are other animals out there that care for each other and make sacrifices for each other just like humans. That kind of reminder I feel privileged just to witness."
O'Connell says she has a few more books in the works. She will be looking at the long-term social interactions and dominance relationships particularly among younger elephants, observing how family interaction translates into adulthood.
"I'm also working on a photo book of the first year of an elephant's life as well as a biography of the 'don' elephant, a sort of timeline of his rise and fall, and all the different social dynamics surrounding it," she says.
Her previous books include "The Elephant's Secret Sense: The Hidden Life of the Wild Herds of Africa," a more prose-focused book on her study of the elephant's listening behavior.
Info: "An Elephant's Life" can be found at the Stanford University bookstore, where Caitlin O'Connell will sign books during parents' weekend on Feb. 24 and 25. For more about her work, go to utopiascientific.org.

Beatles fans from around the world have a chance to relive Beatlemania all over again in a new Apple Corps-approved project to collect rare media directly from those who experienced it firsthand. The best fan submissions will be included in a new feature-length concert film on The Beatles.
The Beatles Live! Project is global effort launched by OVOW Productions, per Apple's authorization, to collect never-before-seen amateur footage, photographs, interviews and other media chronicling The Beatles' 250 concerts held between 1963 until the group's final concert at San Francisco's Candlestick Park on August 29, 1966.
According to a press release, organizers have gathered an international team of "archivists, collectors, information specialists, artists, social media strategists, amateur media groups, Beatles fan clubs, writers, academics, and film restoration experts" to aid in the research.
OVOW, which is an acronym for "Our Voice Our World" in reference to The Beatles final live performance in the "Our World" satellite broadcast on June 25, 1967, launched the campaign Thursday (November 15) asking for fans to share stories and original footage from their concert experiences.
Footage for consideration in the film can be submitted here.

Any ideas? It's a beauty
I think my wife just found it in a book. Green tiger beetle?
Indeed, it is a beauty.
And you're right - it is a green tiger beetle, Cicindela campestris.
There are five British tiger beetles, and this is the most common
That also gives good guidance on how to differentiate it from its most similar species, C. germanica.
You'll find the five species of C. at the top of the list here - http://www.coleopterist.org.uk/photos-list.htm#Carabidae.
More photos of related species here
- http://www.zin.ru/Animalia/Coleoptera/eng/cicinde.htm
As explained on these pages, the taxonomy for tiger beetles is in a state of flux, many subgenera and subspecies being recognized or not depending on the authority consulted:
Thanks Mike, for the links and id help
Ours has a bit less of a reddish edge than the ones in the pics, I guess that's regional variation?
Cheers Dave
You're welcome, Dave,
...Not necessarily regional variation; the markings (mostly obviously the cream marks) are just variable to some extent. In many animals markings vary in relation to sex (sexual dimorphism) and season; those could also be factors.

A couple of days ago, my 8 year old came into the kitchen while I was cooking dinner. She said, "Mommy, I have a gift for you!"
When I turned around, I saw her standing on the kitchen tile with a large gift bag hanging rather heavily on one arm.
I gasped because I thought for a moment, because of the way she had said it, that she might have had the baby in there. Then, I dismissed that silly notion from my head because I just knew that would be ridiculous.


text: Why does everybody forget about Kurt Thomas? I've been sayin it all offseason, dude can still ball. Its not like he was ever that athletic, he hasnt really lost anything because he didnt have much to lose. He just does a great job of positioning himself defensively and for rebounds and he can still knock down an open mid range jumpshot. 2 years ago with Chicago he made a difference for them almost every time he stepped on the court. He had an 18 rebound game when Noah was out, last year he had some good games with the Blazers. Didnt really get many minutes but was always productive with the minutes he had. Hes sorta like camby in the sense that he can come into the game and control the boards. Hes undeniably worthy of minutes

I installed nautilus on xfce4 and then nautilus-open-terminal. I was not very happy with xterm that it opened and wanted to change it to xfterm4. I gave following commands:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec xfterm4
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "' -e'"
However, now xfterm4 opens but it does so in home folder rather than in the folder being viewed in nautilus. This defeats the very purpose of installing nautilus-open-folder. How can I change this setting? I think it has something to do with /usr/bin/xfterm4 script. Alternatively, I want all settings to be restored back to default.
Thanks for your help.

You could try to use directly
, or maybe gnome terminal...
(just my 2 cents, I'm absolutely not sure about it...)
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec xfce4-terminal
now opens xfce4-term when I right-clock open-term in nautilus, but will still open files in vim with gnome-term. any idea how to move this along one step further maybe so that when I right-click on a sh or html file to open in terminal vim (not gVim), as often is the case for me, the file will be opened by vim in xfce4-term rather than gnome.

Fast-food giant McDonald's has confirmed in a statement that it has stopped using ammonium hydroxide in its hamburger meat.
MSNBC.com reports that McDonald's denies the decision was influenced by a campaign by celebrity chef and nutrition-promoter Jamie Oliver to get ammonium-hydroxide-treated meats like chicken and beef out of the U.S. food supply. In a segment aired in April of last year on his TV show "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution," Oliver discussed the dangers of using "pink slime" or ammonia-treated scrap meat in fast-food products.
Months after the pressure was publicly placed on fast-food chains to stop using ammonium hydroxide, McDonald's agreed to stop. A statement on McDonald's website reads, "At the beginning of 2011, we made a decision to discontinue the use of ammonia-treated beef in our hamburgers. This product has been out of our supply chain since August of last year. This decision was a result of our efforts to align our global standards for how we source beef around the world."

Torre doubles his pleasure
Horse he co-owns earns win and so do the Dodgers
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
Vineyard Haven, a 2-year-old colt co-owned by the Dodgers manager, scored a visually impressive 5 3/4-length romp in the prestigious Grade I Champagne Stakes. Then the Dodgers topped that by sweeping the Cubs with a 3-1 win.
The horse's victory earned Vineyard Haven an automatic berth in the Oct. 25 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita. But majority owner and Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel has different plans -- a campaign aiming the horse at next year's Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown.
Frankel does not want to run the horse on Santa Anita's unproven new synthetic surface or wheel him back three weeks after this victory, so he'll skip the Breeders' Cup. Frankel told Torre he plans to bring the colt to the West Coast, possibly to run in the Hollywood Futurity at Hollywood Park in December.
In addition to the Champagne Stakes' $240,000 first-place purse, Vineyard Haven won an automatic nomination to all three Triple Crown races -- the Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes. The Dodgers are scheduled to play the Padres at home the first Saturday of May next year, when the Kentucky Derby will be run.
The third member of the partnership that owns Vineyard Haven is Louis Lazzinnaro, a friend of Frankel's.
"He's a game little horse -- I couldn't be any happier, especially for the people that own him," Frankel told Daily Racing Form.
Torre watched Saturday's race in his clubhouse office with general manager Ned Colletti. Vineyard Haven went off the second choice at odds of 4-1. The son of Lido Palace has won three of four starts.
Torre said watching his horse is more nerve-racking than watching his team.
"You have no control over it," he said. "In baseball, you're doing something. Or you're thinking about doing something about it."
Frankel purchased the horse privately after winning his Florida debut June 28. He ran third in the mud in his first race for the new connections, the July 24 Sanford Stakes at Saratoga, then beat some of the same horses he conquered Saturday in the Sept. 1 Hopeful Stakes at Saratoga.
"Bobby said when he bought him that he really liked him a lot," said Torre, who has six horses in training with Frankel and one other in the barn of Richard Dutrow Jr., trainer of Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown. "When Bobby called today, he said, 'I told you.' "
