|Images of Thrór
Thrór (Third Age 2542 – 2790, lived 248 years) was King of Durin's folk for 201 years, from 2589 to 2790. He was the eldest son of Dáin I, and with his younger brother Grór he led his people away from the Grey Mountains after a great Cold-drake killed both his father and brother Frór. Thrór led some of the Dwarves back to Lonely Mountain, where he became King under the Mountain. While Grór continued west with the a great following of Durin's folk to the Iron Hills, where he founded his own realm.
King under the Mountain
At Erebor, Thrór and his people were very prosperous. Gaining the friendship of the Northmen who lived along the river Celduin. These people later founded the town of Dale and had much trade of goods, beautiful trinkets, and weapons with the Dwarves. The Ereborians also had much traffic of ores with their kinsman in the Iron Hills. And the region had peace and prosperity for many years.
In 2770 though their prosperity ended. The Dragon Smaug heard of the wealth of Thrór and his people. And he came south from the Ered Mithrin and sacked the Lonely Mountain, killing many Dwarves. But from the destruction many escaped last of them being Thrór and his son Thráin from the hidden Side Door. So with a small company of kin and faithful followers they made the great wandering south, until they reached the hills of Dunland.
On a Midyear's Day, Thrór created his map of the Desolation. With runes he wrote information about entering Erebor from a secret way. He used Moon-letters for this.
Dunland, and the journey to Moria
Why Thrór and his people chose to settle in Dunland is not clear, but they tried to make a living. However twenty years after the Sack of Erebor despondent and homeless, Thrór now old and desperate, gave to his son Thráin II his Ring of Power, along with the map and key to the Lonely Mountain. "It takes gold to breed gold," He said to Thráin at their parting. "Surely you are not thinking of returning to Erebor?" Thráin said. "Not at my age," Thrór said to him. "Our vengeance on Smaug I bequeath upon you and your sons. But I am tired of poverty and the scorn of Men. I go to see what I can find." He did not say where.
Thrór left his people and went north with a single companion, an old friend Nár. Eventally they made it over the Redhorn Pass down into Azanulbizar the Dimrill Dale. And when they came to the East-gate of Moria they found it open. Nár begged Thrór to beware, but he took no heed of him, and walked through the gates as the heir who had returned. But he did not come back.
Nár stayed nearby for many days in hiding until one day he heard a great shout, followed by the blast of a horn, and a body was flung out of the gate and onto the steps.
Fearing that it was Thrór, Nár crept near. He heard the sound of Orc laughter from the shadows of the gate and then a voice called out, "Come here, beardling! We can see you. But there is no need to be afraid today. We need you as a messenger." Nár found that it was indeed the body of Thrór. His head had been severed and it lay face downward.
As he knelt there, the voice called out from the gate, "If beggars will not wait at my gates but instead sneak in to try thieving, this is what we will do to them. If any of your people poke their foul beards in here again, they will fare the same. Go and tell them so. But if his family wishes to know who is king here, tell them I am king here! I killed him!" Nár turned Thrór's head upright and saw branded across his brow in Dwarvish runes the name AZOG.
"Drop it!" The voice commanded when Nár moved to retrieve the head. "Here is your fee, beggar-beard! Now be off!" Nár was struck with a small pouch of coins of little worth. Weeping, he took the pouch and fled down the Silverlode. He looked back and saw that Orcs had emerged from the Gate and were hacking Thrór's body into pieces and flinging them to the crows.
When Nár returned to Dunland with the tale, Thráin wept and cursed and tore his beard and then fell silence. For seven days he sat in silence with little food or drink. Finally on the seventh day, he stood up and said, "This cannot be borne!" He declared war on the Orcs and sent word to the corners of the world, calling on all the Seven Houses together for vengeance. Nine years later at the Battle of Azanulbizar, the climax of the War of the Dwarves and Orcs the Thrór was avenged, and Thráin took the Azog's severed head and shoved the purse of coins into his mouth then set it on a stake.

The photos have been been collected, the pics have been judged, and the results are finally in. The first TransWorld SNOWboarding Your Turn Photo Contest in 2011, "Backyard Boardin", goes to Max Pintal, for his photo of Didier Gogbout's apartment complex miller flip.
Says Max, "Didier Godbout [is] one of the newest DC Canada team riders. [He's] nice to shoot, because he's always super motivated and has so much energy. We found that spot just in front of my new appartment in Valleyfield, Québec. The basic plan was to do a wallride, but Didier decided that it would be gnarlier to do a miller flip over the parking sign. It turned out really good!"

MindShades is a specially designed and custom-fabricated pair of stylish and modern sunglasses that enable the performer to retrieve secret information undetected by the spectators. MindShades employs a technology that was once used in the world of espionage. However, many of these earlier glasses were cheaply made, and more to the point are now out of style. After painstaking research and development, Peter was able to re-master the technology and greatly improve the quality. The result is a stealthy device manufactured into a professionally fabricated pair of quality glasses.
Do not confuse MindShades with other glasses that employ similar technology, but instead use cheap lenses and frames that are out of style. These inferior products are generally so poorly constructed, that the secret technology is very easily detected. In stark contrast, MindShades are made with top-quality frames designed with today's modern fashions in mind, and the lenses utilize a more advanced technology that renders the gimmick invisible! For this product, one manufacturer specially constructed the stylish frames, and a second company re-mastered the lens technology for MindShades. These glasses have been designed and built for professional performers living in today's modern times, and were created for use in professional applications. The best part is that MindShades look and function like regular sunglasses! You will be able to take these with you everywhere, and perform modern, impromptu miracles on demand without any set up.
With Peter Loughran's MindShades, you receive the special glasses and also the core of the product—the instruction manual. This handbook outlines several audience tested routines that have been well thought-out and designed. In addition the booklet contains several different techniques, styles and ideas that will help you to create and perform an unlimited number of effects. These miracles range from mind-reading effects, unbelievable card miracles without forces or gimmicked decks, seemingly dangerous acts that are completely impromptu, and incredible feats that would normally cost you thousands of dollars in gimmicks and props! All of these effects do not employ invisible ink, secret writing, etc. To be more precise, these versatile glasses let you see many other things that you are not supposed to see, all in ways that are completely undetected by the audience.
MindShades offers you a lifetime of impromptu effects that are limited only by your imagination. Using just one of the performance techniques included in the instructions will enable you to perform and create entirely different acts over and over again with just this one prop! MindShades is one item that won't be left in your magic drawer; it's perhaps one of the only props that you will need to leave your house with.
MindShades also come with their very own high quality, vinyl-bound protective carrying case.

(Reuters) - Lockheed Martin Corp said about 3,000 employees would be furloughed on Monday due to the U.S. shutdown.
The company said the number of employees was expected to increase every week if the shutdown continued.
Lockheed said the furloughed employees include those who work at government facilities that have closed and those whose work requires a government inspection that cannot be completed.
A political standoff over the U.S. budget has shut down non-essential government services and hurt companies that rely on federal employees and funding.
"I'm disappointed that we must take these actions and we continue to encourage our lawmakers to come together to pass a funding bill that will end this shutdown," Lockheed Chief Executive Marillyn Hewson said.
(Corrects first graph to say 3,000 employees would be furloughed on Monday, not from Monday)

I caught this on the Red Eye —
SAIC student from Iran nominated for Cannes award SAIC student's short film nominated for Cannes award It's only been two years since Anahita Ghazvinizadeh moved from Iran to the U.S. to pursue a film-focused master's in studio art at the School of the Art Institute Chicago, but the 23-year-old filmmaker already has racked up a nomination for the Cannes Film Festival's prestigious Cinéfondation Prize.
"I was really surprised and very happy,†Ghazvinizadeh said. "We worked really hard on this film, but I wasn't expecting that it would get into a great festival like Cannes.â€
Ghazvinizadeh's 21-minute short film, "Needle,†the story of a preteen girl getting her ears pierced, was one of 1,550 entries from 277 schools all over the world.
She said the nomination has been doubly rewarding because it recognizes the first film project that she completed in the U.S. after moving from Iran. Before "Needle,†Ghazvinizadeh had already completed a short film called "When the Kid was a Kid†and co-written a feature film, "Mourning,†in Iran, but "Needle†was the first project she made in the U.S. (read more)

Move Over Danica
That's right…move over Danica Patrick…Johanna Long is coming to town. Long is only 18 years old but in early December captured one of the most prestigious short track titles in the country: the 43rd Annual Snowball Derby, held at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida, in early December.
Circle Track has been keeping an eye, from a distance, on Long's exploits for a year or so now and we've been impressed. The teen seems to have abilities behind the wheel that belie her years and the Snowball Derby is proof. Her victory makes her the youngest female driver in Derby history but at the same time only the second female driver to ever wear the crown. The first was Tammy Jo Kirk back in 1994. Kirk went on to a short lived career in the then Craftsman Truck Series, however, for whatever reason we feel that Ms. Long has the potential to become the female face of NASCAR that the sanction is currently seeking.
Danica Patrick has yet to live up to her billing, but in her defense she is an Open Wheel driver. That's not a slam against IndyCar drivers, but Juan Pablo Montoya took several years to adapt to the big, heavy stock cars and he was a multi-race Formula 1 winner. Patrick is not. Long's pedigree is stock cars, lots of laps in stock cars. Again, something Patrick doesn't bring to the table.
Long entered rarified air, etching her name in the history books alongside NASCAR winners like Darrell Waltrip, Kyle Busch, and Jeff Purvis, by winning the Derby, nicknamed the "Superbowl of Short Track Racing." Wheeling the No. 10 Panhandle Paving & Grading entry through 14 cautions and several lead changes, Long brought it home with expert driving and impressive pit strategy in a dramatic 5-lap green flag finish to take the checkered flag.
Her strong qualifying run in the No. 10 of 16.420 seconds placed her fourth on the starting grid in her third appearance at the Snowball Derby. Fresh off a run in the season-ending Camping World Truck Series race at Miami-Homestead Speedway, where she posted solid practice runs and a 12th place finish the day prior in the Snowflake 100 while working through tough wind conditions and cool temps, the Blizzard Series Champion was ready for the night's challenging 300-lap race.
Not surprisingly the action was fast and furious from the drop of the green flag. Long spent the majority of the race in and around the Top 10. Her crew and spotter knew that they had to make their tires last through the mid section of the race to allow her a shot at the win. It was a simple yet crafty pit strategy that many a regional touring racer could learn from-put yourself in position to win. Long's team members knew that fresh tires at the end of the race could help her drive to the lead. As such they were content to hang around the middle of the pack during the middle of the race, doing their best to stay out of trouble.
After four cautions within 30 laps and a massive wreck in Turn 1 on lap 176 that resulted in a red flag for the field, the team knew it was time to come in on the next caution lap. Long's team got her out in the first position where she battled with Ross Kenseth for the lead for 38 laps, much to the delight of the crowd.
As the laps wound down, Long bided her time before hitting pit road for fresh rubber a mere six laps from the scheduled checkered flag. It would turn out to be a dramatic finish under Snowball Derby rules, which state that five consecutive green flag laps must be driven before the checkered flag would be waved. A rash of cautions at the end of the race gave Long the time she would need as she wheeled past the top six cars, taking them down one at a time and again narrowly escaping two crashes.
By saving her tires through the middle portion of the race, the teen was able to pass Landon Cassill to take the lead when it mattered most with two laps to go, sailing into the history books becoming the second female to ever win, and the youngest female in track history to take the title.
The importance of Long's victory can't be understated. Besting a stacked field that included Cup Series drivers David Ragan, David Stremme, multi-time Derby winner Augie Grill, as well as up and coming superstars Elliott and Kenseth, means that Long has indeed arrived.
"What a night, what a weekend, what a year," said Long of her achievement. "This is what I've dreamed of ever since I became a racer. It is my family's dream, and I couldn't have done it with my dad, my mom and sisters, my aunts and uncles, and grandparents-all of whom were supporting us in the paddock tonight. I'm speechless, and it's the best Christmas present I could ever get.
Long completed seven starts in the Camping World Truck Series, with three Top 20 finishes and Top 20 qualifying grid starts at all races started. She hopes to race for a full Rookie season in 2011. Female or not, teenager or not, Johanna Long is a racer who can get the job done and that's going to be good for the sport of short track racing, mark our words.

Neutral Milk Hotel, the experimental indie rock band who reunited in 2013 after a hiatus of more than 10 years, played their hits to a mostly enthusastic Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival crowd Sunday.
The band, which forbid the media from taking photos, performed songs that included "Holland, 1945," "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," "The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1," and "Rubby Bulbs."
Jake Camarena, 30, of Los Angeles said he loved how, with its stripped-down sound, the group sounded "basic" yet "emotional" at the same time.
"It's like church," he said of Neutral Milk Hotel's sound. "It's a euphoric sound."
He said his favorite song of the set was "Holland, 1945."

The movement for women's rights in the United States truly began in July 1848 with the Seneca Falls Convention. About 240 people attended the meeting, which had been organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The attendees drafted the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments, which listed grievances, and a series of resolutions, which called for specific reforms. Ironically, a resolution advocating women's suffrage barely passed, because many delegates believed it to be too radical. The suffrage movement grew slowly during the rest of the 1800s, partly because of the existence of several rival organizations. In 1890, the different organizations united to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association. During the Progressive Era, support for women's suffrage increased, and a number of individual states adopted full voting rights for women. After avoiding the issue for several years, President Woodrow Wilson moved to support women's suffrage, and the Nineteenth Amendment would pass the congress in 1919, and be ratified the following year.
Florida was not one of the states that ratified the Nineteenth Amendment during 1919-1920. In fact, neither house of the Florida legislature had even voted on the measure. Though the legislature would pass a law in 1921 that provided the vote to all residents, it was not until 1969 that it symbolically ratified the Nineteenth Amendment. Reproduced here is the text of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 1172, which was passed by Florida's Senate and House of Representatives on May 13, 1969, and approved on May 22 without the signature of Governor Claude Kirk.
SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 1172 A concurrent resolution ratifying the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to the right of all citizens to vote
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States of America in both houses by a constitutional majority of two-thirds thereof has amended the Constitution of the United States in the following words:

Register a death
Registering the death will give you the documents you need for the funeral, though we can start making arrangements and giving you advice before that.
Who registers the death?
The person who registers the death is usually a relative of the person who has died. If no relatives are available, then the death can be registered by:
- Anyone who was there when the person died.
- Someone who lives in the place where the person died.
- The person who's taking responsibility for arranging the funeral.
The person who registers the death will need to visit the local Registrar, which might mean making an appointment. If you'd like support, we can accompany you to the Registrar's Office.
What you'll need to give to the Registrar
The Registrar will need to know some things about the person who has died:
- The date and place of their birth.
- Their full name
- The date of death, and where it happened
- Their occupation
- Their home address
- If they had a pension or allowance from public funds
- If they were married, (if they were, the Registrar will need to know their living husband's or wife's date of birth).
The Registrar will also need to see their:
- Medical Certificate of Cause of Death
- National Health Service medical card (if you have it)
- Birth Certificate
- Marriage Certificate (if they were married)
What the Registrar will do
They'll issue a green certificate for burial or cremation, or in Scotland, a white certificate of registration of death. We'll need to see these documents. Additional certified copies of the entry of death can be obtained from the Registrar for a small charge (these may be needed for legal or financial purposes).
Registering a death might work a bit differently if the Coroner or Procurator Fiscal is looking into the death. If this happens we can talk to you about it and give you advice.
You may like to watch our animation video below for information on registering a death.

You can probably find plenty of them in the list archives. I've detailed ours numerous times. a) They persist in crashing (even to this day) when hammered by a memory-intensive application. We have some 23 2460's, and probably 2 or 3 times that many 2466's. When the owners run the computation(s) on them that they got the workstations for, they crash, often with three days to a week. b) Even that is maddeningly inconsistent. The same job run with the same parameters might crash in one day one time, four days another time, and not crash at all on a different 2460 -- until the time it does. c) We had incredibly horrible problems initially getting them to work with off the shelf risers. Some cards would work, in some slots, sometimes. Some of the same cards that failed would work in some of the slots on the motherboard if plugged directly in (no riser at all). We're not talking odd cards, either -- things like 3c905's and off-the-shelf PCI video. d) When we finally found risers that would work, and cards that would work in the risers, we started struggling with the BIOS, which needed reflashing. For that matter, the 2466's have had plenty of BIOS problems, some of which are just plain stupid design. e) Such as the fact that if you flash the BIOS, it resets the serial console (which doesn't work horribly well, as it requires a keyboard to be plugged directly in if you want to do all sorts of important things but which does work). So if you actually bought 2466's WITHOUT a video card, expecting to use the serial console, if you reflash the BIOS you have to disassemble the case, insert a video card, reenter the BIOS, turn the serial console on again, shut it down and take out the video card, rerack it, power it up and do whatever via the serial console, and God help you if you made any sort of mistake or anything failed to "take" because you then get to do it all over again. f) Then there is their general sensitivity to heat, power supply, memory, and the phase of the moon. We replaced all the power supplies and all the cooling fans once just trying to find a combination that would stabilize them. Overall, the 2460's are just plain broken unstable pieces of shit that suck systems administration time like a black hole and have cost us something like 1/3 of the productivity of the cluster in question and infinite annoyance at the management level. We are finally biting the bullet and trying to gradually replace them with 2466's (reusing all the rest of the hardware). If you can get Tyan to replace them for free, please let us know. God knows that they should -- they should replace ours as well and those belonging to any other poor suckers who bought them. These systems overall drove us to seriously consider e.g. dual Xeons (at a fairly similar price) just because they are relatively stable. Alas, the Xeons don't run my particular problem as well as Athlons... rgb Robert G.

A mix of culinary treats and visual delights make the Seten Anatolian Restaurant a wonderful addition to your holiday in Cappadocia. We opened our restaurant in May 2010 with great success! Quickly becoming known as one of the top restaurants in the area, we offer a beautiful setting indoors as well as in the open-air arched courtyard.
The name "Seten" comes from the Turkish name for the ancient round stone mill used to process grains. In addition to a seten stone mill, we have an original cave room used for centuries to press grapes into wine. This room is now our Wine Cave Cellar and we continue to use this traditional method to make homemade wines – visit our Wine Cave Cellar for a local wine tasting experience to remember!Read more

I am all for free markets and not mucking them up with government intervention. But the economic theory of regulation tells us that if there is a market failure, it cannot be resolved privately. The public sector must get involved.
The most illustrative examples of such failures in U.S. financial markets were the frequent financial panics from the 1850s until the Great Depression. Those episodes taught us that when illiquid, asset holdings (e.g., loans) of the financial sector are financed short-term (e.g., by deposits), and are hit by a severe macroeconomic downturn, failures of financial firms can lead to system-wide runs on deposits. This in turn leads to a massive disruption of the system that provides credit to households and corporations. When economists bandy about the term systemic risk, this is the type of event they are referring to.
The market failure here is that, although each financial institution may have been behaving optimally on an individual basis, the firm had no incentive to take into account the effect of their actions on the system as a whole. In economics, we call this a negative externality and it is analogous to an industrial firm causing pollution. In the example above, financial failure of one bank increased the possibility of runs on other banks, leading to the system-wide collapse.

In Arizona we stayed at the KOA campground in Apache Junction, east of Phoenix. It's bounded with the Superstition Mountains, a federal Wilderness area, on the east.
The campground was nice but the price for a tentsite without electricity was kind of steep: $ 25 + tax. We are so used to stay in FamCamps on military bases/rec.areas and pay between $ 5 - $ 12 a night. Other then that the campground was good. Met a lot of nice people.
We did the Turquoise Trail in NM and next on our program was another trail: the Apache Trail. Which starts near the campground on hwy. 88. The Apache Trail is a 40-mile road winding through the Superstition Mountains. Originally used as a migration route by the Apache Indians, it eventually became a stagecoach route and now a scenic drive. Don't think of a nice paved wide road all the way. It's a paved road until Tortilla Flat, about 15 miles........
Entering Tortilla Flat. This is an authentic remnant of an old west town, nestled in the midst of the Tonto National Forest, in the Superstition Mountain Range. Tortilla Flat was a stop for gold miners and a post office for people around the area. It has now a population of 6. It consists of a restaurant, gift shop, small museum, post office and campground.
The hanging man.
Money bills from visitors all around the world.
Back on the road.
.....................but five miles past Tortilla Flat, the Apache Trail turns into a dirt and gravel road for about 22 miles and ends at the Roosevelt Dam. It winds through the mountains with fantastic views. It was not a pleasant drive, the road was like a washboard. It wasn't good for our rental car. I think we were not even allowed to take this car onto a dirt road! The 22 miles took us about 4 hours!!!, including the photo stops. We had to drive about 5-10 miles an hour as we were afraid something would happen to the car. The road was extremely bumpy. The Fish Creek Hill area was scary (to me). The drive turns into a one-lane, cliff-hanging road that descends more than 1,000 feet .
There are guard rails on the side of the road, but cars do drive off the cliff.
There are guard rails on the side of the road, but cars do drive off the cliff.
The pictures of this part didn't come out good so I posted a video off YouTube (see above: Fish Creek Hill).
After this scary part we continued on this dirt road and drove along beautiful Apache Lake toward Roosevelt Dam.
Apache Lake is a man-made reservoir that is about 17 miles long and provides more spectacular views from the road.
See how the road winds through the mountains.
Roosevelt Dam where the dirt road ends......
The dam serves the Phoenix area in supplying water and electricity.
Driving back I surely recommend using the US-30 through Globe. No one should go back the way they came as it will be dark and scary on the way back. We returned to Apache Junction in about
1 1/2 hours !
We celebrated the "Dia de los Muertos" ( Day of the Dead) at the Mesa Arts Center. It's a Mexican celebration and a public holiday overthere but it is celebrated in certain parts of USA as well. Arizona is one of them. A significant number of people from Mexico and with ancestors from Mexico live in Arizona, that's why it is a popular celebration here.
It is traditional for families to build in-home altars dedicated to the dead. They place flowers, food, pictures of the deceased and lighted candles around the altars.
This Community Altar was created by Kyllan Maney and Lauren Lee and everyone was encouraged to leave offerings by their loved ones.
How are sugar skuls used:
Sugar Skulls are often used to decorate the ofrendas (altars) on Dia de los Muertos which is November 1st and 2nd. Smaller skulls are placed on the ofrenda on November 1st to represent the children who have deceased. On November 2nd they are replaced by larger, more ornate skulls which represent the adults. These decorative skulls have the name of the deceased on the forehead and are decorated with stripes, dots and swirls of icing to enhance the features of the skulls. These designs are usually whimsical and brightly colored, not morbid or scary. Some companies manufacturer small, edible skulls to be eaten during the holiday, like you see on this picture
Scattered throughout the Mesa Arts Center campus were Dia de los Muertos-style vendors offering a variety of merchandise and art.
This was more my style.
Live music like a Mariachi band
and a salsa band...one of my favorite type of music.
Dance performances
There was a show of the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico de Amalia Hernandez at the Mesa Arts Center. Tickets were sold for only $ 5 for Sunday afternoon. We didn't want to miss this performance. It was a spectacular show with dance, music and very colorful.
Last view of the Superstition Mountain and the state park.
An odd saguaro cactus along the road.
After staying at the KOA campground for a week, we found a better place to stay. We moved our tent to the Lost Dutchman State Park, about 7 miles down the road. The sites here have a lot more privacy, are bigger and beautiful views, also $10 cheaper. We paid now $15 a night with a spectacular view of the Superstition Mountain.
The park is named after the famous Lost Dutchman Goldmine tale. ("Dutchman" was a common, though inaccurate, American slang term for "German," derived from the German word for "German" – "Deutsch").
The basic points of the legend hold that German immigrant Jacob Waltz found a wealthy gold mine in the Superstition Mountains sometime after 1863. When he died in 1891, he left a crudely drawn map giving only hints to the mine's location. Ever since, treasure hunters have come from all over the world searching, but none has ever found it.
View from our tent of the Superstition Mountains at sunset.
Can you find our tent?
Gambel's quails, also known here in Arizona as the desert quail, roaming around our tent.
It was a great place to do an early hike on one of the trails. It was too hot to start later in the morning. Our favorite trail was the Siphon Draw Trail. A 4 miles round trip, a very scenic hike, this trail winds up into a canyon known as Siphon Draw. (named for its ability to "drain off" (i.e. siphon) water from a large area on Superstition Mountain)
The first mile of the trail passes through the Lost Dutchman State Park and is well-maintained; However, the trail soon leaves the state park and enters the Superstition Wilderness. It's well marked first but later when the trail is no longer the smooth dirt path, it turns into small loose rocks. The trail begins to climb higher and higher and get more narrow and rough and the rocks get bigger.
It is no longer marked. After a strenious walk the trail, eventually, arrives at a large smooth stone basin. The end of the basin is for most of the hikers the end of the trail and a turn-around point but the more adventurous people continue climbing towards Flatiron, a large flat plateau on the top of the Superstition Mountain. We were not brave enough to climb the last part. It's advised that only experienced hikers in good shape attempt to hike to the top, as the climb is steep. The last part is a 12-foot vertical rock wall!!! If you manage that one, you are on top of Flatiron. No thank you, not for us.
Here you can see Flatiron in the middle, at the end and the trail in front. Also the basin can be seen.
Looking back.
Have to be carefull where you walk: drop-off's
Here we are at the end of the basin. Leroy is deciding: "shall I go any further?"
At the same spot, behind us, view from where we came from.
On one of our hikes we met this bobcat. I was too scared to make more pictures...... He looked at us one time and kept on walking slowly through the bushes.
More pictures seen on our hikes:
Bird nest in a cholla.
The chain fruit cholla is also known as the hanging chain or jumping cholla. The buds grow at the end of the branches. You do not want to run into one of these!!
Would love to see them bloom.
An unexpected encountar with a horny toad (horned lizard)
Most of the nights we woke up from a pack of coyotes howling. This one was very quiet.
Our last night was quite exciting. A woman was lost in the mountains and a search and rescue team had to come in to find her. This was going on until midnight. Luckily they found her.
Before we left this little bird was attacking it's own reflection in the window.
It's a curve-billed thrasher. They are very common here in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona
Last view of the Superstition Mountain and the state park.
An odd saguaro cactus along the road.
Bridge on Interstate 210 near Lake Charles, Louisiana
Here we are on the Interstate 10 between Lafayette and Baton Rouge. It's an elevated highway i.e. bridge. This stretch of 18.2 miles (29.3 km) is known as the Atchafalaya Swamp Freeway. It goes over the Atchafalaya River and the adjacent swamps.
A stop in New Orleans at the Saint Patrick Cemetery Number two. More information about these cemeteries can be found here.

The new documentary Call Me Kuchu opens on November 2 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The film explores the state-sponsored anti-gay terror campaign in Uganda and details the 2011 murder of David Kato, the nation's first publicly openly gay man. Call Me Kuchu premiered at the 2012 Berlin International Film Festival and won the Teddy Award for Best Documentary.
Watch the new trailer AFTER THE JUMP ...
Despite the East African nation's often harsh anti-LGBT climate, there is a vibrant underground community of kuchus, the film's directors Katherine Fairfax Wright and Malika Zouhali-Worrall write in The Independent.
What's more, many of the kuchus we met weren't victims, but dedicated and increasingly sophisticated activists working with absolute determination to change the status quo – even, eventually, in the face of a devastating and unthinkable loss. One phrase that epitomized this attitude was a rallying cry from Mozambique's war of independence that was adopted as something of a mantra by David [Kato] and Uganda's LGBT activist community: "A Luta Continua," or "The Struggle Continues."
David Kato was the first person we met with once we arrived in Uganda – he reeled off names and numbers and introduced us to the kuchu community. As we spent more time with him, we were increasingly intrigued by his fierce intelligence and relentless passion, his sharp sense of humor, and his deep-seated fear of sleeping alone at night. He was also one of the most outspoken activists in the community. It soon became clear that David [Kato] was the protagonist of Call Me Kuchu.
Meanwhile: The Speaker of the Ugandan parliament has slammed the Canadian government over its criticism of Kato's murder and Uganda's record on LGBT issues. Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird criticized Uganda and Iran's human rights records this week at an international summit in Quebec, reports The Globe and Mail.
Delegates from both countries accused Canada of interfering in their internal affairs. An Iranian representative said it was no different than his country using the IPU forum to call for international support of Quebec independence. ... And the minister didn't mince words describing the plight of young African girls under regimes that tolerate early and forced marriages. He then denounced Uganda for the violation of gay rights and oppression of homosexuals.
He pointed to the case of David Kato, a Ugandan gay rights activist who was beaten to death after a newspaper published a photo of him and other gay men under the headline, "Hang them."
The Speaker of the Ugandan National Assembly, Rebecca Kadaga, said her government will demand an apology from the Canadian government. "Ignorance and arrogance, that is how I would describe Mr. Baird," Ms. Kadaga said in an interview, adding that her government's does not promote violence against gays. "This is a very high level of arrogance for him to attack my country." ... She accused Canada of adopting a "colonial attitude" towards African nations and interfering in her country.
David Kato was the spokesman for Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), the sole LGBT rights organization in Uganda. Kato was brutally beaten to death at his home in January 2011. A suspect, Enock Nsubuga, was arrested one week later and police claim he confessed to Kato's murder over a sex-for-pay deal gone wrong.
Authorities have refused to link Kato's murder to his activism or being listed among the nation's "100 Top Homos" by an infamous local anti-gay tabloid. Nsubuga was sentenced to 30 years on prison.

Styp needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
3 winners were selected from 88 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
I am a drifter running in central European drifting competitions. I want to attract more people to my website and get the word of drifting out to everybody!
One thing i didnt mention before:
ZÜRI stands for the City of Zurich, Switzerland. This is my home city and the crest and modified wakaba logos are a representation of that city.
So some very subtle form of connection to a city / skyline / whatever could be integrated
People interested in action sports, extreme sports, drifting and motorsports in general.
The audience wants funky, lifestyle designs that are vibrant and fresh.
However it should be more "sinister", dirty slightly rugged than the usual clean action brand designs... the balance should be there though, fully "goth style" sinister and dark like gotham city would be too much i guess.
I attached 2 logos -
one CREST logo, which COULD be on the front centered. There are two versions of this one, one with a "rising sun" blue white backdrop. Might not be needed. The other is without rising sun backdrop
one WAKABA logo, which COULD be on the rear, below the neck somewhere
but i'm open for different ideas, like having the CREST logo on the rear, or not centered but asymmetrical..
as for the vintage style, or dirty style... here are 2 example t-shirts by touge automotive that catch what I'm looking for a little bit:
BUT i'd like the whole thing to be a bit more "tricked out" with swooshes or some other ornaments..
Colors: can be colorful, but keep the surrounding colors suited to the BLUE / WHITE general theme of the logos.
FONT size and color can vary if you deem required
FONT Style can change as well if you want to use a less boring font. This is the official font for the stickers, but for a T-shirt i think a more extreme font can be used as well, as long as it's vintagy, dirty, sinister, fresh, etc.
Also, it could be possible to use the actual ZÜRIDRIFT driftcar as a backdrop in a stylized way. Maybe somebody wants to try something with that
The first one with crest as head isn't working for me at all, due to the fact that this is more about cars and mechanics than persons.
i have attached a few pictures of the züridrift car in action - maybe something from that can be used instead. KEEP IN MIND however that the car would have to be weaved in in a subtle / stylized manner.. it shouldn't be all in your face.
A good example is the BANNER of this website which also holds my car but it's barely visible:
These are also available in high resolution if required (as all the pics on the homepage)

Having a Baby When You Have HIV
Spring/Summer 2012
Early in the epidemic, people with HIV wrestled with the idea of having children, since there was a 25% chance the infant would be born with HIV. For some women and potential fathers, those odds were too high. Dina M., quoted in a 1991 article in The New York Times, had planned her pregnancy. But then she had second thoughts and had an abortion. "I just didn't know what to do. If I kept the baby my life would have probably ended. If I had the baby, there was the possibility that the baby wouldn't last very long." In the same article, one woman said her doctor in Manhattan, whom she had seen for six years, told her she did not feel "emotionally" she could deliver her baby and referred her elsewhere.
But the results of PACTG Study 076, released in 1994, showed that HIV treatment could dramatically reduce (66%) the chance of an HIV-positive mother passing the virus to her child. Subsequent research and clinical practice have resulted in lowering that risk to less than 1%. In New York State, for example, the number of cases of transmission during pregnancy has declined from 97 cases in 1997 to just three in 2010 -- a transmission rate of 0.7%.
New Options
Fortunately, people with HIV now have a number of options when it comes to pregnancy. Unfortunately, some of these options are often out of reach financially for many people. And they may face opposition from friends and family. A 2007 amfAR online survey of people in the U.S. found that only 14% of those between 18 and 44 felt that women with HIV should become pregnant, and a third of all respondents said they would not support that decision at all.
The "Women Living Positive Survey" included 700 women with HIV from across the U.S. When asked about pregnancy, 61% stated that women with HIV can have children if they have the appropriate support. But 59% also felt that society strongly urged them not to have children. In addition, 57% of those who became pregnant did not discuss treatment options with their provider before they became pregnant. They often found information online instead, which, as the post from "Margarita" below shows, can be risky:
"It is very possible to have a child while one partner is positive and the other is negative. As long as the negative partner maintains an undetectable viral load, and you both lead a healthy lifestyle, i.e. exercise, proper diet, limit alcohol use and absolutely no drugs ... even weed, the chance of infection is very low. As an alternative, think about purchasing a juicer! Try juicing fresh veggies and fruits to boost both immune systems. Kale, Carrots, Oranges, Blueberries, Cranberries ... juice at least 3 times a week, you both will see and feel a difference."
Clearly, a completely unproven statement like this needs to be discussed with a care provider. Many in the study had to make changes to their regimen after they became pregnant, instead of learning about their choices beforehand. In her presentation on the study at the Vienna International AIDS Conference in 2010, Dawn Averitt Bridge stated:
"We have laws in place in the U.S. that prevent fertility treatments for HIV-positive women. The assisted reproductive technologies are quite good but, unfortunately, not available to many women and men ... And it's a huge problem. Many of us chose not to have children many years ago, because we were either told we were crazy, or the risks seemed too high. And because people have gotten older, because you had long-term HIV disease, whatever the reasons are, fertility has become a very big issue and a big problem."
The Ethics Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine has stated that health care professionals may be legally and ethically obligated to help women with HIV who choose to become pregnant. They can refer patients to other facilities if they lack the expertise themselves, but a blanket statement of not offering care is no longer acceptable. In 2010, California mandated that all fertility centers provide appropriate fertility interventions to people with HIV or refer the couple to a center that offers such services.
Before You Start
The health of both partners should be evaluated and any problems should be addressed with their primary care provider. There are three different scenarios, and each one has unique issues and choices that affect the man, the woman, and the infant:
- The man has HIV and the woman does not: this places emphasis on preventing the woman from being infected
- The woman has HIV and the man does not: prevention of transmission to the man and to the infant need to be considered
- Both partners have HIV: the emphasis is on preventing transmission to the infant as well as prevention of superinfection between the adults
(It's important to remember that the infant can only acquire infection if the mother has HIV. If the father has HIV and the woman does not acquire it, there is zero risk of infection to the infant.)
In general, the partner with HIV should be taking HIV medication to ensure an undetectable viral load and raise the CD4 count as this decreases the risk of transmission in all three scenarios. If the woman is menstruating there is an increased risk of her transmitting the virus to her partner or for her acquiring HIV. For a man with HIV, there is likely a positive correlation between total sperm concentration and CD4 count. A 10-year study looking back at 181 men found that 42% had an abnormal semen analysis with at least one reading in the subfertile range. Fertility issues occur in both women and men with HIV. In addition, semen testing in men taking HIV meds has found a lower ejaculate volume, decreased sperm movement, and increased abnormal sperm. So some form of fertility testing for both partners may be a smart first step. After that, the couple must decide which of several methods to use.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - The MIT field hockey team picked up its first NEWMAC win of the season by defeating Smith College, 3-0, on Saturday afternoon. Deanna Lentz paced the Engineers' (6-5, 1-2 NEWMAC) attack with two goals. Since 1988, Tech has defeated the Pioneers (2-7, 1-2 NEWMAC) six times, three of which have been shutouts.
MIT controlled the ball in the opening minutes, receiving several penalty corners. Smith's defense successfully prevented the Engineers from getting on the scoreboard early in the frame. After back-and-forth play for most of the half, Tech was awarded a penalty corner during the final seconds of the half. Anna Ayuso ended the scoreless affair by connecting on a pass from Cheryl Texin.
MIT continued to attack in the second stanza, but Smith goalie Sydney Siegel came up with several incredible saves to keep her squad in the game. After several near-misses, back-to-back goals by Deanna Lentz in the 64th and 67th minutes sealed the win for Tech. For her first goal, she received a pass from Lauren McCarthy and then dribbled around her defender for the score. Three minutes later, Margaret Gentile set-up Lentz for the final goal of the game.
MIT goalkeeper Alexa Herman earned her second shutout of the season and finished with two saves. Sydney Siegel made 10 stops for Smith.
The next game for MIT will be on Tuesday, Oct. 12 at 6:00 p.m. when it hosts Wheaton College.

Protect Yourselfby in Editor's Soapbox on 2017-12-05
We lend the soapbox to snoofle today, to dispense a combination of career and financial advice. I've seen too many of my peers sell their lives for a handful of magic beans. Your time is too valuable to waste for no reward. -- Remy
There is a WTF that far too many people make with their retirement accounts at work. I've seen many many people get massively financially burned. A friend recently lost a huge amount of money from their retirement account when the company went under, which prompted me to write this to help you prevent it from happening to you.
The housing bubble that led up to the 2008 financial collapse was caused by overinflated housing values coming back down to reality. People had been given mortgages far beyond what they could afford using traditional financial norms, and when the value of their homes came back down to realistic values, they couldn't afford their mortgages and started missing payments, or worse, defaulted. This left the banks and brokerages that were holding the mortgage-backed-securities with billions in cash flow, but upside down on the balance sheet. When it crossed a standard threshold, they went under. Notably Bear Stearns and Lehman. Numerous companies (AIG, Citi, etc.) that invested in these MBS also nearly went under.
