Hyndman Peak Climber's Log
Renardo - Aug 6, 2006 8:51 pm Date Climbed: Aug 11, 2004Long but worth it
Can get a bit long, so leave early if you can. Great views and a great hike overall!
boisedoc - Jul 19, 2006 12:23 am Date Climbed: Aug 28, 2004NIce area
Fun hike. Initial part drags a bit. Easy boulder hopping to the top. I still think it maybe is a bit harder than Breitenbach. Area is definitely greener than the Lost Rivers.
IdaClimber - Jul 10, 2006 9:25 pm Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2005Idaho Gem
This is a real Idaho gem. One of my favorites.
summitlovinaddict - Jun 19, 2006 3:04 amRoute Climbed: Standard route Date climbed: 8/10/2005
3 of my friends and I climbed it. We camped at one of the lower lake for fun and climbed the next day. We reached the summit pretty quick and were back to our cars to meet Dean from summitpost. He was a great guy, way to go Dean!
Scrambling Man - Feb 14, 2006 4:48 pm Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2000A Gorgeous Approach
The normal route up Hyndman offers as much scenery on the 6-mile approach as it does on the summit. It has creeks, lakes, wildflowers (depending on season), and a great view of Cobb. I recommend going when the wildflowers are in full bloom. Eight LHBCers made it to the top in 2000. I reached the summit alone in July of 2005. Made it up again with two buddies Memorial Day of 2007.
sprosseda - Jan 26, 2006 4:35 pmRoute Climbed: SE face / SE ridge Date Climbed: July 4, 2004
Very scenic area. Quick jaunt in 5 miles and up 5,000 vertical feet. Last 1,000 feet went straight up SE face which seemed slightly harder than the SE ridge used on the way down. Only person to summit this July 4th day that I know of. Great views of rest of Pioneers, White Clouds, Boulder, and Lost Rivers. Fun mountain, will do again.
SawtoothSean - Jan 4, 2006 9:51 pmRoute Climbed: East Risge Date Climbed: July 7, 2004
Great views of Cobb's north side (ice climbs there) on the way up. I got a flat tire after passing Flat Tire Ranch on the way in.
BeDrinkable - Jan 3, 2006 12:04 pmRoute Climbed: southeast ridge Date Climbed: September 20 2004
Drove up from Boise, solo-ed the standard walk-up Hyndman and drove back to Boise that evening. It made for a long day! Fall is certainly the best time to be in Idaho's mountains.
Bob Bolton - Aug 15, 2005 10:39 pmRoute Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: August 13, 2005
See the posts by Dean and takanhase below. Wonderful climb with great scenery. Mike, glad you joined us - it was a pleasure.
Dean - Aug 15, 2005 12:06 pmRoute Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2005
A truly fine mountain in a beautiful part of Idaho. The wildflowers were excelllent in the upper basins and this was a very enjoyable day with Bob and Mike (mfox, see his report below). Bob and I went on to do the Camas County highpoint, Pk 10337 the following day and found this peak to be one of the best viewpoints I have been to in Idaho.This hike is a biggie with over 5000 feet of elevation gained and a good 12 miles for the day. Near the top we found a geocache and this is the highest one I've found so far and it a great way to add some interest to a hike. The top 2200 feet is pretty much a rock pile but you can lose elevation quickly if you find the right lines. Awesome views, awesome peak. Well worth the effort.
mfox79 - Aug 13, 2005 11:07 pmRoute Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: 8/13/2005
I climbed this route with summitpost members Dean and rfbolton who I met in the trail head parking lot. Good climb,with a really long aproach that felt like it wasint going to end. Great scenery and great company. This was my third attempt and I finnaly made it. Well worth the effort.
rleclair - Aug 2, 2005 11:13 amRoute Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: July 31, 2005
Great summer day for summiting Hyndman Peak! Wildflowers were everywhere from the start of the trail and only got better the higher I went. A few storms moved in around 2 PM but one of the better hikes in Idaho!
punk_rocker333 - May 1, 2005 8:43 pmRoute Climbed: East Ridge Date Climbed: September 2003
Did this on a chilly September day. Good hike with amazing scenery.
Still Truckin - Apr 19, 2005 4:18 pmRoute Climbed: East,ridge from saddle between Hyndman and Cobb Date Climbed: July 2002
One of the most beautiful approaches anywhere, great views in all directions. Late spring trips are the best while the wild flowers are in bloom. Been there three times and plan on going back. Boots with good ankle support advisable, lots of loose rock once you go for the summit.
IdahoKid - Nov 1, 2004 9:38 pmRoute Climbed: Standard Route Date Climbed: August/03
A beautiful mountain in an outstanding region! I recommend shortening your day greatly by bicycling the first few miles, it sure makes coming down a lot more enjoyable. And once above 11,000 in the boulder hopping of the east ridge, look for the rare Mountain Sorrel plant. Its difficult to find but its leaves taste just like apple, its amazing.
Scott - Sep 4, 2003 1:30 pmRoute Climbed: Hyndman Creek Date Climbed: September 1999
Turned back because of bad weather very near summit (heart breakingly close). It was a good trip anyway.
IdahoClimber - Dec 9, 2002 10:57 amRoute Climbed: Standard/Chute Route Date Climbed: December, 7th 2002
Great views of Sun Valley, and the Lost River Range. Great mix of climbing variety. Hope to ascend again with snowshoes, more snow, and my skis. Summer ascent would be a great hike/scramble with plenty of great scenery (lakes, other mountains, & wildlife)
zdv - Feb 21, 2002 12:21 amRoute Climbed: Southeast ridge Date Climbed: 9/2/2001
Excellent day for climbing - sunny, mild, and few others on the trail. Reached the summit around noon and noticed a group of climbers on the summit of Old Hyndman. Ate a nice lunch and completed the trip in about 8.5 hours. I believe I was the only one to summit that day. Awesome climb!
IdahoSummits - May 8, 2001 7:34 pmRoute Climbed: Southeast ridge Date Climbed: 10/05/2000
3 of us climbed the peak from Hyndman - Old Hyndman saddle on a cool, clear fall day. Excellent climb!

In February 2010, Vancouver hosted a remarkably successful and thoroughly friendly Winter Olympics. On the last day, Canada beat the United States 3-2 to win the gold medal in Ice Hockey, the crowning achievement of an Olympics for a country where hockey is more a way of life than a sport.
From New Brunswick to British Columbia, Canadians celebrated their team's victory. As the Games ended, athletes from all over the world were filled with affection for their hosts. The Olympics affirmed the widely held view that Canadians were among the two or three nicest people in the world.
Jump ahead to last week. Again Vancouver was the location. This time it was the seventh game of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals in which the hometown Canucks were playing the Boston Bruins. Both teams had won all their home games so game seven was destined, our northern neighbors hoped, to bring the Cup back to Canada for the first time since Montreal won it in 1993.
Didn't happen.
In a physical game that matched those played in Boston, the visitors won 4-0, denying Vancouver its first Cup and setting off an uncharacteristic riot outside Rogers Arena. Dozens of people were hurt, stores were looted, several people were stabbed, and Canada was embarrassed by some of its citizens who acted – dare we say it? – like Americans.
The day after the melee, Vancouver authorities discovered that the riot's instigators were not, in fact, hockey fans. They were anarchists who came to the arena, where more than 100,000 hockey fans gathered to watch the game on outdoor screens, armed with the tools of destruction. Their motives were unclear. Their actions, however, weren't.
Canadians across the continent have apologized to the world, denounced the miscreants and volunteered to repair the damage done to Vancouver and to Canada's reputation.
What all of this does, more than anything, is to draw attention away from what was a terrific series. Dominated by the play of two world-class goalies, the series was a humdinger. It had everything. There were four shutouts, two for each team. There were games dominated by defense and others that were high scoring. There were 343 minutes of penalties and some hits that caused serious injury.
While all of this took place away from Philadelphia, the series has too many Philadelphia connections to be ignored.
For the third straight year, the eventual winner of the Stanley Cup eliminated the Flyers in the playoffs: the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round in 2009, the Chicago Black Hawks in the finals last year and the Bruins in the second round this season.
Last year, of course, the Flyers were down three games to none against the Bruins in the second round and came back to overcome that and a three-goal deficit in game seven to move on to the next round and ultimately to the finals. This year, the Bruins swept the Flyers in the only series that the Bs didn't take to seven games.
Mark Recchi, a huge part of the Flyers during his two stints here (1991-1995 and 1998-2004), was a major part of the Bruins offense. At 43, Recchi is the NHL's oldest active player. He had decided to retire after this season. He goes out on top.
The future Hall of Famer has won three Cups (in 1991 with the Penguins, in 2006 with the Carolina Hurricanes and this year with Boston) and was still a team leader on and off the ice. His career stats include 577 goals, 956 assists and 1533 points in the regular season and 61 goals, 86 assists and 147 points in the playoffs – awesome figures all. He personifies class in the league..
There is even a Chestnut Hill connection to this team: Matt Keator, former Chestnut Hill Academy headmaster Gerrit Keator's middle son. He was a student at CHA from 1972-1979 and a hockey player at the Wissahickon Skating Club. He is now Bruins captain Zdeno Charo's agent.
I'm sure that many local hockey fans were rooting for Vancouver. It's hard for Philadelphians to pull for a team that beat the local heroes. I had no problem this time. Recchi and Keator, and a pre-Flyers affection for the Bruins when I went to school in Connecticut, had me pulling for them.
Now I'm pulling for Vancouver, the city not the team. It, and all of Canada, deserve better than what those thugs dished out after the series ended.

Shane Doan Shanabanned for 3, Duncan Keith next up in the principal's office..
Duncan Keith elbows Daniel Sedin in the chops. I won't lie, I take a bit of sick pleasure in that.. but it will definitely result in a Shanabanning.
Also, Shane Doan got 3 games for this Elbow on Jamie Benn
That sets a bit of precedence for this Keith elbow.

TimoHansen needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 118 designs submitted by 40 freelance designers.
We are a small electronics and software company. We are just starting to market some electronics and need to create a brand and marketing material. For now we first need a logo for the brand.
The name Embriant is a combination of two words: Embryo and Giant. The idea is that the company started small but will grow to become a giant.
We will market to both corporate and individuals. Most of our current customers are listed companies.
We normally go by two names: Embriant Software and Embriant Electronics. In the future we might even start more businesses and want the brand to stay recognizable. For this reason we don't want Software or Electronics too form part of the main logo. Software or Electronics can be added as a subscript to the logo. This way we can always start new product lines without changing our logo or brand.
We want a very professional and clean logo.
We don't have any idea about what the logo should look like but some abstract image maybe. We don't want anything that connects us to software or electronics otherwise we will not be able to build the brand with the logo.
Please no neon or two bright colors.
We must be able to use the logo on a white background. If we could use it on black it would also be nice but not a requirement.
The color green can maybe be used to indicate growth but it is not a requirement.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

The Gold price experienced little movement today, settling just above $1,600 for most of the day. The yellow metal was heavily talked about once word broke that long-time gold bull John Paulson has confidence that the precious metal is a long-term currency and inflation hedge. This reassured investors that gold's price has the opportunity to raise regardless of its performance the past two quarters.
The American economy is showing improvement with positive data in retail sales, the unemployment report and the trade deficit all reflecting stronger numbers. With this progress, Jan Hatzius at Goldman Sachs is predicting if the Federal Reserve pushes further stimulus measures like quantitative easing (QE3), it will not be in September. Hatzius wrote in a note to clients, "We believe that continued weakness is necessary to prompt a substantial easing move. And so far, that weakness is not showing up in the data." Many economists are under the impression that the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will indicate the central banks next move at the Fed's summer recoil in Jackson Hole, Wyo. on August 31.
At 5 p.m. (EDT), the APMEX Precious Metals spot prices were:
- Gold, $1,603.90, Up $2.90.
- Silver, $27.89, Up $0.02.
- Platinum, $1,397.00, Down $3.10.
- Palladium, $576.80, Down $3.10.

WASHINGTON—The crisis in Syria only further roils what was already expected to be a turbulent few months in Congress leading up to the holidays. Despite the din, the Security Industry Association has developed a plan to advance some of its own objectives, of which there are many.
WASHINGTON—Weeks into the legislative lull of August, the Security Industry Association is gearing up for Congress to return to session in September, when lawmakers in the House will tackle immigration reform.
Fifteen days after the Senate passed S. 744—the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act—the House Republican caucus will hold a meeting to discuss immigration, just as the House prepares to tackle its own legislation, should it follow through on Speaker John Boehner's plans to scrap the Senate bill. The meeting, which will be private, is slated for Wednesday, July 10.
The Senate bill, which passed 68-32 on June 27, would earmark about $46 million to bolstering security on America's southern border over the next decade. The border security portion of the bill includes some large-scale provisions, most notably the installation of monitoring technology along the southern flank, the construction of an additional 700 miles of new—and higher—fencing, and a substantial increase in the number of Border Patrol agents.
Also included in the sprawling piece of legislation—it's nearly 2,000 pages in length—is a measure that would require foreign workers to carry biometrically verifiable ID cards, which include a photo and a fingerprint.
Last week I spoke to Marcus Dunn, director of government relations for the Security Industry Association, who said he was encouraged by this inclusion, and optimistic that even if the House does its own immigration bill, biometrics would remain part of the equation.
In our conversation, Dunn made a strong point regarding technology-based measures included in mammoth—and often polarizing—pieces of legislation like the Senate Immigration bill. Such measures, he said, have the advantage of being less emotionally charged than, say, debates about paths to citizenship, employment implications and wages. So, should the House take its time crafting piecemeal immigration reform, it's not unrealistic to imagine a technological solution preceding a policy one.
Testament to the relative emotional neutrality of some of the security measures can be found in the amendment package, proposed a day before the bill passed, by a pair of Republican Senators: Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and John Hoeven, R-N.D. Many of the aforementioned provisions were contained in their eleventh hour proposal, and several commentators have credited the amendment as a key reason the bill gained enough bipartisan support to pass. It doesn't seem like a stretch to say that the security portion of the bill was crucial in allowing the Senate to function as it's supposed to: like a political "cooling saucer," a chamber where cooler heads prevail and compromise can be struck. In an era defined by deep ideological fissures in Washington, these things cannot be taken for granted.
With political pressure mounting to get some kind of legislation passed, the meeting scheduled for Wednesday bears close watching. Will Speaker Boehner backtrack on his statements about the House doing its own legislation, or stand firm? Will the Senate bill be jettisoned, or does it have more support in the House than many think? For my part, I'll be looking for what lawmakers have to say about that $46 billion figure. Stay tuned...

I can not get my crew to move at all. Once they get hungry or tired they move on their own, but I could not assign them to anything or move them at all. Is there a set of instructions that give basic commands or anything? With a crew that will not respond to anything I can do anything.

Re: Alpha 3 Mac Bugs
Ok, so I must be missing something. I can not get crew to do ANYTHING. The only thing I have been able to accomplish with them is by clicking on them and repeatedly pounding the D key I was able to kill them. But I can't assign them, I can't get them to move, I can't issue and order of any sort. I really need some pointers on how to operate this joker... right now its just a pretty little ship that does nothing.

From Roy Eugene Davis – www.csa-davis.org:
Your highest spiritual good prevails when you are always conscious of your true nature
as an immortal, spiritual being in relationship with the Infinite. At the innermost level
of your being you are whole, pure, serene and knowledgeable. Allow your innate qualities
and capacities to emerge and be fully actualized.
Your highest mental good prevails when you think rationally, your intellectual powers
are fully developed and all life-enhancing desires and intentions produce or attract ideal
events and circumstances.
Your highest emotional good prevails when you can view thoughts, memories and
objective conditions with dispassionate objectivity.
Your highest physical good prevails when you are radiantly healthy and effectively functional.
Your highest circumstantial good prevails when environmental conditions are ideal and abundant
material resources that enable you to be comfortable, secure and it easily accomplish purposes of
value are always readily available.
Your highest god prevails in relationships when they are wholesome, harmonious and mutually supportive.
Merely wanting or hoping to have your highest good does not produce positive results. To have it,
claim it as your own and do what is necessary to be able to have it. You can do it.
"Yes, I know what is for my highest good, prepare myself to have it and thankfully claim it
as my own."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Global financial leaders struggled Thursday to calm financial markets, which plunged over renewed fears that the United States and the global economy were headed for recession.
Investors are worried that Europe's debt crisis could destabilize the global economy. The United States is limping along with slow growth, 14 million unemployed and millions stuck with homes worth less than what is owed on the mortgage.
The Dow Jones industrial average sank 391 points for the day. The second-straight day of massive losses on Wall Street coincided with the start of the annual meeting for the 187-nation International Monetary Fund and its sister lending institution, the World Bank.
"The current economic situation is entering a dangerous phase, said Christine Lagarde, the head of the IMF. "This heavy debt of sovereigns, households and banks (represents) risks that could actually suffocate the recovery."
Some leaders at the conference seem to be losing faith in the economy, just as investors are.
"I still think a double-dip recession for the world's major economies is unlikely, but my confidence in that belief is being eroded daily," said World Bank President Robert Zoellick.
On Wednesday, stocks had tumbled after the Federal Reserve expressed new concerns about the U.S. economy and the growing risks in Europe. The Fed also announced a plan to try to lower long-term interest rates further by shuffling the makeup of its portfolio.
Still, many investors and economists fear the Federal Reserve can't do much to help. Some Republican lawmakers think Fed is making matters worse.
Congress and the White House can't agree on policies to help the unemployed or on plans to whittle down trillion-dollar deficits.
"We are faced with a weakening economic outlook and policymakers are becoming impotent," said Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Economics.
The gathering of world finance leaders comes at a perilous time in Europe.
Greece could default on its debt next month unless it receives a $10.9 billion installment from a bailout fund managed by the European Central Bank, the European Commission and the IMF.
A default could destabilize other financially troubled European countries, such as Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy. It would also deal a blow to many European banks, which are large holders of Greek government bonds.
Lagarde offered some direction to stem the crisis. Banks in Europe must provide more capital so they can withstand potential losses. Governments need credible plans to get their debt under control.
But some governments lacked the political will to shrink rising deficits, Lagarde said, an apparent shot at lawmakers in the United States.
"What is needed and what certainly we hope to generate ... is the political leadership, and the degree of synchronization that needs to happen for that path to recovery to be made possible," Lagarde said.
Brazil, India and China and other emerging economies favor efforts by President Barack Obama to tackle the U.S. budget deficit. And they want the 17 countries that use the euro currency to address the debt crisis in their region.
The group said in its statement that it would "consider, if necessary, providing support through the IMF or other international financial institutions" to address the European debt crisis.
Finance officials from the group played down reports that they might purchase government debt of troubled European countries. At a news conference, they said it would be politically difficult to sell such a move to voters in their home countries, many whom have far lower standards of living than European countries.
Still, Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega said the emerging nations understand the crisis must be contained.
"We are living through a worsening of the crisis in recent months and we have to prevent the crisis from making a qualitative jump, reaching a more serious level," Mantega said.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday that the United States has a huge stake in seeing Europe succeed. He said European governments would "act with more force" to resolve its debt crisis in the coming weeks.
He also said that the IMF had adequate resources to help in the European debt crisis. The IMF is already providing support to a bailout package for Greece.
Olli Rehn, the European Union's top economic official, said the 16 other euro zone countries won't abandon Greece and allow it to default on its massive debts.
"An uncontrolled default or exit of Greece from the euro zone would cause enormous economic and social damage, not only to Greece but to the European Union" and the rest of the world, Rehn said.
The U.S. economy appears to be slightly more stable than Europe. Still, more than two years after the recession officially ended, it is barely growing. Consumer and business confidence is low. In August, employers added no net jobs, and consumers didn't increase their spending on retail goods.
On Wednesday, the Fed said it will try to push long-term interest rates lower and make consumer and business loans cheaper by shifting $400 billion out of short-term Treasury securities and into longer-term bonds. Economists, however, doubt the plan will do much.
President Barack Obama has proposed a $447 billion job-creation package. But the president's lacks support in Congress. Republicans strongly oppose his proposal to pay for it with higher taxes on wealthier households, hedge fund managers and oil companies.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Quran is the 19th Scripture
We are told in the Quran that the prophets of God are sent with the Scripture:
[2:213] The people used to be one community when God sent the prophets as bearers of good news, as well as warners. He sent down with them the Scripture, bearing the truth, to judge among the people in their disputes"
The term 'Scripture' is consistantly associated with 'prophets' in the Quran.
If we count the number of prophets named in the Quran we find a total of twenty prophets mentioned by their names. Each one of these 20 is specifically called a prophet in the Quran.
If we read verses 83-86 of Sura 6 we read 18 names, starting with Abraham and ending with Lot. Verse 89 confirms that all these 18 were prophets of God:
"These are the ones to whom we have given the Scripture wisdom and prophethood"
These prophets are:
- Abraham (also named as a prophet in 19:41 and 33:7)
- Isaac (also in 19:49 and 37:112)
- Jacob (also in 19:49)
- Noah (also in 33:7)
- David (also in 17:55)
- Solomon
- Job
- Joseph
- Moses (lso in 19:51 and 33:7)
- Aaron (also in 19:53)
- Zachariah
- John (also in 3:39)
- Jesus (also in 19:30 and 33:7)
- Elias
- Ismail (19:54)
- Elisha
- Jonah
- Lot
- Idris (named a prophet in 19:56)
- Muhammad (who is confirmed to be the last of the prophets (33:40)
If we add the names of the two prophets:
We find that the total number of those who are named as prophets in the Quran is 20
However we are told that that the two prophets Moses and Aaron received the same Scripture. The Statute book was given to both Moses and Aaron (37:117 and 21:48), therefore the total number of Scripture given to the 20 prophets is 19. This means that the Quran, besides being the last Scripture, is also the 19th Scripture delivered through the 20 prophets mentioned in the Quran.
We note that there are others spoken of in the Quran, but not as prophets, nor as deliverers of Scripture, they are:
Adam (described as one of the chosen 3:33 …….. not associated with the word messenger or prophet)
Hud, Saleh, and Shu 'aib (named as messengers in 26:125,143,178 respectively)
Zal-Kifl (described as steadfast, patient and righteous 21:85 and 38:48)
Luqman (described as one endowed with wisdom 31:12)
Nowhere in the Quran is any of these messengers associated with the term 'Scripture'. None of them delivered a Scripture. Thus according to the definition of 2:213 they are not prophets. Three of the six are called messengers (Hud, Saleh, and Shu'aib) while the other three (Adam, Zal-Kifl and Luqman) are only spoken of as receiving God's blessings.
We note that the Quran informs us that God has sent other messengers in the past that we are not told about in the Quran:
[40:78] We have sent messengers before you, some of them we mentioned to you, and some We did not mention to you. (also 4:164)
However, it is indeed of interest to note that the only two verses that assert that fact (40:78 and 4:164), both speak of messengers and not of prophets.
This confirms that God Almighty has sent to mankind 19 Scripture.
The Quran is the 19th and Final Scripture.

London: Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has ruled out a move to Paris Saint-Germain amid speculation that he could be on the verge of leaving the reigning Premier League champions.
The 29-year-old`s representative, Dimitri Seluk, set a deadline of Saturday for City to agree a new deal with his client, while there have even been suggestions that Toure would buy out his contact at the end of the season.
As exclusively revealed by Goal.com earlier this week, the former Barcelona midfielder is now preparing for showdown talks with City officials after returning from international duty.
But Toure has ruled out a move to Ligue 1 leaders PSG, dismissing rumours that he had discussed a move away from the club, and reaffirmed his commitment to Man City.
"No, I don`t think of PSG," Toure told Sport-Ivoire. "You know that with approach of the transfer window, there are many things that are said in the newspapers.
"We are professional and so far I have not given any agreement with any club. I am for the moment a City player and I will fight so that we finished the season in good conditions."
Toure`s lucrative contract is due to expire in 2015, and though he hinted at struggles over a new deal, his main focus is on enjoying his football.
"In a club there are players and administrators," Toure added. "We are like soldiers and we carry out what employers say.
"The most important thing for me is to continue to have fun and to entertain the public.

BioShock Infinite – Burial at Sea Video: Underwater Noir
Irrational has released a five-minute gameplay video of the upcoming BioShock Infinite DLC Burial at Sea, giving us a glimpse into a Rapture we never knew. It goes without saying, but beware spoilers.
The first of two planned story add-ons, Burial at Sea is planned for release later this year. The content tells the tale of Booker DeWitt as a detective in Rapture before its fall, and Elizabeth is the mysterious woman who requests his help in solving a mystery. We won't say much more, but after watching the video above, we're even more excited for this DLC to see the light of day.
While there's no concrete date in sight, Burial at Sea will release across all platforms at the same time, meaning everyone will get to enjoy this little side trip together. If you already purchased the season pass, you'll get this add-on gratis, but we still don't know the standalone price. We'll be sure to let you all know the specifics as soon as Irrational reveals them.

The story for this design started 2 years ago. Believe it or not it is how long at times ideas have to sit inside a sketch book before they finally materialize. After Petal Halter design success I thought about working out a similar looking shape and incorporating it into a different type of a garment. And this design's story is not particularly cheerful at the beginning. The design was turned down twice when I submitted it to be published elsewhere, but it lacked a secret ingredient which I have finally found last January...
Making the right yarn choice transformed the idea into a perfect marriage or you can call it some other epithet. But the yarn and colors made this shawl "sing".
Actual patterning that takes place within the shawl can remind everyone of sometimes they know. Whether grey storm clouds, fish scales, even ceramic mosaic floor tiles and of course - as in a place where I live - of a traditional Seikai-ha print or sewn pattern of sashiko embroidery, fabric and prints.
To me personally the shawl reminded of winter ocean of Japan, stormy weather, foamy raging waves, greyness and obscurity of the horizon line between the sky and the water. That is why this shawl is named Aranami 荒波 (jap).- (n) stormy seas, raging waves.
After I made a swatch I did all necessary calculations to start on actual shawl sample and I LITERALLY couldn't put it down.. It's quite addictive really, portable and you just keep telling yourself - one more, 15 minutes later - one more.. then you start seeing color transition to aligning beautifully. I will admit I burned midnight oil while knitting on it couple of times but no regrets. Just wanting to finish the last color and tier... and take it all in!
I know I am going to be making a couple more of these. I want to explore more color families! Aranami is exciting to work on - being not overly complicated, relaxing garter stitch so you keep attention on shaping, yet it's a pleasure to know that the shawl is reversible! My only suggestion would be, when picking up stitching instead of going between the last and the previous stitch as you would usually do, go inside the last stitch itself. That way the lines on the wrong side would be less bulky, they would be still outlined delicately.
I know I am in love and if you are not yet, be prepared to! Brooklyn Tweed LOFT has an amazing range of 32 heather shades. I used 5 colors, 1 skein of each color. So 5 skeins! But amazing yardage of LOFT actually will yield 2 shawls out of those 5 skeins. They will just have to be made in 2 different graduating color directions. Still it's great usage of yarn and yardage! Remember there are several flagship stores in US that carry Brooklyn Tweed yarns at their locations.
Choosing colors together is a bit harder for some, so I have put together several LOFT color pairings to help. You can also order Brooklyn Tweed Shade Card and play with it for the colors you prefer.
My original Aranami was done in
Second column: Snowbound, Sweatshirt, Faded Quilt, Almanac, Old World
Third column: Faded Quilt, Stormcloud, Truffle Hunt, Meteorite, Pumpernickel
Second Column: Postcard, Blanket Fort, Thistle, Plume, Old World
Second Column: Sap, Tent, Birdbook, Artifact, Cast Iron
Third Column: Foothills, Tent, Birdbook, Artifact, Cast Iron
But you certainly don't have to stick to these colors combos above, use your imagination to entertain other ombré pairings you can create with these colors.

NEWPORT BEACH – A law enforcement search this week of several Campus Drive offices was linked to a mortgage-fraud investigation, police said Wednesday.
Police said they made no arrests after Tuesday's searches, and they declined to detail the allegations.
But some of the eight companies targeted in the search warrant, or people associated with them, have faced legal troubles in the past, including allegations of loan-modification fraud.
Agents and officers with the FBI, the Secret Service, the Orange County District Attorney's Office, the State Bar of California and the Police Department helped in the searches at 4500 Campus Drive, a small office park. Authorities seized records and computers from several offices.
Pamela Gerber-Gressier, an attorney who has run two of the companies named in the search warrant, Prudent Law Group and Remedy Center & Associates, is already facing 108 charges of misconduct filed by the State Bar of California.
In a phone interview Wednesday, Gerber-Gressier said the search of her office was a "complete surprise."
She said she did not know what police were looking for, and she declined to comment on any aspect of her businesses because of the pending investigation.
"I'd love to be able to tell you my side of the story, but I'm sure that wouldn't be a wise thing to do," Gerber-Gressier said.
A bar complaint filed in June says Gerber-Gressier practiced law without a license in eight states, including Ohio, New York and Florida, by sending people there solicitations offering to modify mortgages. She's also accused of collecting thousands in illegal fees from people in other states.
In a formal response, attorneys representing her denied most of the allegations. A hearing is upcoming, Gerber-Gressier said.
The State Bar complaint says Gerber-Gressier ran her law firm under three names: Prudential Law Group, Prudent Law Group and most recently Remedy Center Law Associates.
Newport Beach police spokeswoman Jennifer Manzella said the warrants targeted eight businesses: State Trust Legal, Consult Marketing Group, Reputation Enforcement, Legal Research Group, Remedy Center, Prudent Law Group, Remedy Center Law and Secured Processing Inc.
State Trust Legal Inc. was issued a cease-and-desist order in September by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance, which said the company engaged in mortgage brokering or originating without a license. A message left Wednesday with Lee Gross, an attorney listed as State Trust Legal's agent, was not returned.
Representatives of several of the other companies searched Tuesday couldn't be reached or did not return calls Wednesday.
Since the national housing crash left a lot of homeowners "underwater," or owing more on a mortgage than the house is worth, new companies have sprung up offering to help people reduce their payments. Authorities say some of those companies have scammed homeowners.
Nearly 200 attorneys in California have faced misconduct charges related to loan modifications, the State Bar says.

Is this still going to happen? I have spent the last 3 days trying to get the latest release of xcat working. Here are the problems we ran into ( BTW -- we have installed 2 eariler versions of xcat with minimal problems. ) It would seem that the latest xcat.org debauchle has really screwed the pooch. 1) there is no updated Howto to be found. Everythink included in the tarballs seems to point to xcat.org. Some updated documentation can really help. 2) There are several files/programs missing, with no instructions on how to find them or build them. Examples: fping, mpcli, etc. 3) VERY lacking documentation on any of the hardware shipped with the IBM clusters. Can you _please_ include information on the ESP/ELP terminal servers? We had to spend 2 days on the phone with Equinox to just get the IP address reset on an ESP. It is not that tough to do, but again some documentation would be nice. 4) The IBM RSA/ASMA adapter sucks. Sorry guys, but a piece of hardware that is supposed to provide remote administration should _not_ fail 25% of the time. It is really tiresome to have to dump power on and RSA adapter just to get it to work. So to anyone thinking about using xcat -- 'NOOO', or at least until Egan and IBM can figure out what is going on.

Issue I have been wondering if homework is necessary.
Statement of issue and Preview I think we should have homework because it helps us to learn and revise our work.
Homework helps people who aren't very smart to remember what they have learned. Homework is really good because it helps with our education.
Statement of various viewpoints But, many times, doing homework is not a great idea. I think we shouldn't have homework because I like to go out after school to a restaurant or the movies. Sometimes homework is boring and not important.
I think homework is bad because I like to play and discuss things with my family.

A. Example of Discussion Text on Nuclear Power
The Advantage and Disadvantage of Nuclear Power
Nuclear power is generated by using uranium which is a metal mined in various part of the world. The first large scale of nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England in 1956.
Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engine. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world's energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It cause no pollution as we would get when burning fossil fuels. The advantages of nuclear plant are as follow:
• It costs about the same coal, so it is not expansive to make.
• It does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.
• It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount of uranium.
• It produces small amount of waste.
• It is reliable.
On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident ca be a major accident.
People are increasingly concerned about this matter. In the 1990's nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world.
Note on the Generic Structure of Discussion Text
Discussion is a process to find the meet point between two different ideas. It is important to to get the understanding between the two differences. In many social activities, discussion is the effective way to calm down any friction and difference in thought, perception and recommendation.

Stating the Issue: In the first paragraph, it is stated that using nuclear power can be the choice in fulfilling the needed energy.
Supporting Point: In the second paragraph, it is presented the advantages of nuclear power plant to be used as the source of the world's energy needed
Contrastive Point: The third paragraph shows the balance. It gives the contradictory idea in using nuclear power plant as the resource of energy.
Recommendation: This text is ended with a similar recommendation on how people should concern in the matter of nuclear energy.
B. Hunting Fox
Foxhunting is a subject that provokes very strong feelings. Many people believe that it is cruel to hunt a fox with dogs and totally agree with its ban.

Farley Granger, a handsome young leading man during Hollywood's post-World War II era who was best known for his starring roles in the Alfred Hitchcock suspense thrillers "Strangers on a Train" and "Rope," has died. He was 85.
Granger died of natural causes Sunday at his home in Manhattan, said a spokeswoman for the New York City medical examiner's office.
In a career that began as a teenager when he was discovered in a local play by a casting director for producer Samuel Goldwyn, Granger made his film debut as a Russian youth in the 1943 film "The North Star."
He went on to star in movies such as Nicholas Ray's 1949 noir masterpiece "They Live by Night," Anthony Mann's 1950 crime drama "Side Street" and Luchino Visconti's 1954 historical epic "Senso."
"Slim and handsome, he possessed a sensitivity that could suggest a dark side to his characters as well as their vulnerability," film reviewer Kevin Thomas, then a Times staff writer, wrote in 2003.
In the 1948 film "Rope" with James Stewart, Granger and John Dall play two young friends who commit a murder and hide the body in their apartment. Hitchcock famously shot the film in uninterrupted 10-minute takes.
In Hitchcock's 1951 classic "Strangers on a Train," Granger plays a tennis champion whose chance meeting with a suave psychopath on a train later threatens to destroy not only his career but his life.
"He played sensitive, romantic and sometimes doomed heroes," Thomas said Tuesday, noting that Granger "had a natural elegance and grace."
"He was very popular back in the day; he was sort of a heartthrob. The studios' publicity machines were still going full force, and he was all over the movie magazines in the late '40s and early '50s."
Granger recounted his days as a leading man in his 2007 memoir "Include Me Out: My Life From Goldwyn to Broadway," which included the revelation that he was bisexual. He wrote the book with Robert Calhoun, his partner since the early 1960s.
In the book, Granger candidly discussed his romances, flings and affairs with men and women, including actresses Ava Gardner, Barbara Stanwyck and Shelley Winters, as well as composer Leonard Bernstein and playwright Arthur Laurents (who wrote the screenplay for "Rope").
"I had never hidden anything, and nobody asked me any questions," Granger told the Associated Press in 2007. "My only outing came eight or 10 years ago when I was an old man. Arthur Laurents gave an interview in which he outed me publicly."
The son of a successful car dealership owner, Granger was born in San Jose on July 1, 1925. After the 1929 stock market crash, the newly poor family moved to Los Angeles, where Granger was discovered at 17 and signed a $100-a-week contract with the Goldwyn studio.
After appearing in his second film, the 1944 World War II drama "The Purple Heart," Granger enlisted in the Navy and spent most of his wartime service in Hawaii.
Several years after resuming his film career, Granger became unhappy with some of the "junk" films he was required to appear in on loan from Goldwyn, who would suspend him without pay for refusing roles.
In 1953, Granger bought out his contract with Goldwyn and left Hollywood to study acting and try his hand at stage work in New York.
"It cost me every penny I had," he wrote in his book, but "I was following my heart and doing what I had to do."
In addition to starring in movies such as "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing" and "The Naked Street," Granger spent most of the 1950s appearing frequently on live TV anthology series such as "Playhouse 90" and "The United States Steel Hour."
He later made occasional guest appearances on TV series such as "Matt Helm" and "The Love Boat" and appeared on soap operas including "The Edge of Night" and "One Life to Live."
Despite a number of Broadway credits, tours with the National Repertory Theatre and a 1986 Obie Award for his performance in the off-Broadway play "Talley & Son," Granger told the New York Times in 2007 that his years on stage never measured up to his hopes.
Looking back on his career in a 2007 interview with the Star-Ledger of New Jersey, Granger said: "It was just luck. And stubbornness. I wasn't going to listen to anyone saying you can't do this, you can't do that. I didn't care about that. I was just going to go my own way. I was just determined to live my own life."
Calhoun, Granger's longtime partner, who was an executive producer on "As the World Turns" and "Guiding Light," died in 2008.

New Prussia
New Prussia is the motherplanet of the Neo-Prussian Empire.
Basic info
Location: desolate outer territories of the Brikverse
Type: Jungle
Size: vast
Resources: rich, abundance of valuable minerals, crystals and Blue OT
Controlled by: Neo-Prussian Empire
Inhabitants: Humans, Indigenous Tribes
For eons, New Prussia remained undisocvered, and was only inhabited by its indigenous tribes, who fought amongst each other. New Prussia was discovered and named so by the Neo-Prussian Empire when the Empire was still in its infant stages. Hard battles were fought between the settlers, who sought to control all the main resources and scarce farmland, and the indigenous tribes, who wanted nothing of these hostile invaders, and though never more than one quarter of the planet was under Prussian control its main areas were gradually becoming industrialized, giving the Empire virtual control over the area while most of the indigenous tribes continued their lives in the jungles, far away from their enemy's eyes.
Shortly after the Empire was established, a civil war raged between the Prussian Empire and its Dutch allies. The Dutch were either driven off or defeated, giving the Prussians full control over the planet.
New Prussia is comprised mainly of a massive jungle that is largely uncharted and uninhabitable to its Neo-Prussian denizens. There are several large rivers around which most of the population is concentrated. Mountain ranges, home to rich minerals, are scattered throughout New Prussia. There are also a number of inland seas, but none are large enough to dominate a large portion of the planet's surface.
Neo-Prussia is defended by military bases operating from the moons surrounding it. One such base is Fort Waldstein.
Places of interest
The planet is home to many planetary fortresses, fortified cities, strategically placed military bases, fortified farming, mining and fishing operations and military factories.
Because of the vastness of the jungle, a journey on foot from one settlement to another is likely a death sentence. The underground railway provides the most reliable and safe way to get around the planet without getting stuck in the jungle.
Somewhere on the planet, Sir Bragallot's laboratory is also hidden.
Recent history
During the Prussian-Monarchial Conflict, New Prussia was contaminated with the Peach Virus, killing much of its populace and driving the rest off. The virus spread to the jungle, infecting many of the native creatures and turning them into terrible monstrosities. During Operation Mastercutor, most of the outer bases were also sacrificed, and those that weren't were overrun by the Peach Virus at a later stage.

March 22, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Five unanswered goals in the second period by Endicott College were pivotal in its 14-7 win over MIT in a non-conference men's lacrosse game on Wednesday. Jonathan Stolmeier posted two assists and a goal while Tyler Sorba contributed two goals for the Engineers (0-2). In net, Zach Brewer finished with 18 saves.
The Gulls got on the board first as Dan Ryan took a feed from Nick Cosco. Sorba found the back of the net just a minute later, giving the game its first tie. Josh Gilbert and Eddie O'Reilly scored on back-to-back possessions to put Endicott ahead for good. Stolmeier cut the Gulls' lead in half (3-2) as he received a pass on the crease from Dylan Roden and snuck a bounce shot past Sean Kearney. Ryan recorded the final goal of the opening period with 1:25 on the clock.
In the key second-quarter run, Endicott notched four of its five goals in a span of 2:46. Brad Lipkvich scored twice during the spurt, while Gilbert, O'Reilly, and Joe Gugino added to the Gulls' lead.
O'Reilly extended Endicott's margin to 10-2 midway through the third quarter with a strong shot from 15-yards out. Brandon Dube capitalized on an MIT turnover just four minutes later, as he registered an uncontested shot. At the 1:38 mark, Cosco intercepted a clearing pass and found the back of the net. MIT ended its scoring drought on Dylan Roden's goal with five seconds remaining.
The Engineers opened the final frame with a quick goal from Sorba after dodging through the Gulls' defense. Gilbert connected on a feed by O'Reilly with 6:56 on the clock, but MIT answered less than 20 seconds later with an unassisted strike by Corey Garvey. Dan Marchase recorded the last goal for Endicott at 3:38. The Engineers continued to attack as Stolmeier set up Brennan Sherry and Tom Hay for the final goals of the game.

"Going viral" puts you on the map.
It gets you a flood of traffic, a ton of links and lots of attention on social media.
Plus, it's cheaper than traditional advertising and you get to be the flavor of the moment.
The problem is, it's difficult to do in the first place and even harder to repeat.
Unless you're The Oatmeal.
Turning Viral Into a Science
The Oatmeal is one of the most popular humor sites on the internet, with 7 million unique visitors a month in 2013, according to The Economist.
Matthew Inman, the creator of the site has the rare ability to consistently create content that gets attention and goes viral.
Since 2009, The Oatmeal website has produced book deals for Inman, has been featured on TV, was named one of the best blogs of 2010 by Time Magazine, and helped save the Tesla Museum with a successful crowdfunding campaign.
Not bad for a bunch of drawings and quizzes.
But before you bust out your box of crayons for your next blog post, lets look at why The Oatmeal's content is shared by millions online and how you can apply the same strategies to get more attention for your content and business.
1. Pick a Topic Everybody Loves to Hate
Let's face it, talking about stuff we all love to hate is just, well…fun. We feel a connection from our common disdain for the same thing.
But from a marketing standpoint what's important to notice is the psychological force at play which is empathy.
Whenever marketers start talking about connecting with customers and making sales, communicating empathy for your prospect is always high on the "must do" list.
Empathy establishes rapport with your audience and lets them know that you understand their problems and their pain. It also positions you as the solution to that pain.
But to use empathy as effectively as The Oatmeal, you need to make sure your content covers a topic that you don't just love to hate, but that your audience really loves to hate as well.
A lot.
Even better is if it's something people hate and it's popular – like Twilight or Justin Bieber. In other words, it needs to resonate.
Inman calls this the common gripe.
Finding the "Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell To Make Us Miserable" in your industry might just be what you need to generate a little buzz for your business.
2. Pick a Theme Everyone Can Relate to and Creatively Adapt it to Your Niche
Creating content around something everybody can relate to also establishes strong rapport with your audience and makes people pay attention.
The trick is creatively applying the subject matter to your niche and putting your own spin on it.
For The Oatmeal, it's finding content people can relate to and adapting it to humorous comics. He targets cat lovers with How to Know if Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You, and anyone who uses Facebook with How To Suck At Facebook.
Animals, current events and pop culture references are great sources for material that resonates with people and is more likely to spread virally online.
Copyblogger has been producing popular content using this strategy for years with blog posts like The Inigo Montoya Guide to 27 Commonly Misused Words and The Fight Club Guide to Successful Online Marketing.
We recently wrote the George Clooney Guide to Ecommerce About Pages.
Although these examples are more toned down then what goes on over at The Oatmeal, they still make the content substantially more interesting and package it in a way that makes it accessible for people.
3. Quizzes and Interactive Content
Some of the most popular content on The Oatmeal are the quizzes. Inman takes his formula for viral content and packages it into an interactive quiz form. Users take the quiz and are then presented with an option to share their (hilarious) results with their social networks or post a badge on their website.
And with quiz results that read "I Could Take on 30 Justin Biebers in a Fight – How Many Could You Take?" it's almost impossible not to want to share.
And Inman is not alone. In 2013, the most viewed articles for the New York Times, TIME, and National Geographic were not articles, but pieces of interactive content.
So what about the rest of us?
If you're shoe retailer you could create a quiz testing people's knowledge of styles and brands. Or, if you sell pet accessories, perhaps a quiz on dog breeds.
It's not as cool as fighting Justin Bieber but it will help you stand out in a crowded marketplace.
4. Something Everyone is Thinking but No One is Saying
Calling attention to something that everyone is thinking but no one is articulating is always an effective way to get attention. There's only one problem.
It's hard.
That's because more often than not it involves being slightly controversial and putting yourself out there. And the last thing the lizard brain wants to do is stand out.
But for better or worse, edgy content gains traction online.
The Oatmeal creates both hugely popular non-controversial and controversial content using this tactic.
For example, hugs and annoying social media status updates.
But when it comes to using this approach in your business you'll probably find that your honesty ends up calling some people out.
If you're a new eyewear company, it could be a blog post calling out the designer sunglass industry for their exorbitant prices. Or, if you're a men's grooming company, it could be a video that calls out the razor monopoly and their sky-high prices.
This probably won't get you on the front page of Reddit, but tapping into widespread sentiment being felt in your industry that hasn't been highlighted yet can help get you noticed. It can also make you seem like a leader who's honest and authentic.
5. Educational Content With a Twist
It's no secret that educational content is popular online. And as a smart online marketer it should be the cornerstone of your content marketing strategy.
Creating tutorial style content that's worthwhile on its own and lacks an immediate sales pitch demonstrates that you know what you're talking about and creates goodwill and trust with your audience. It also sells the benefits of what you have to offer in an under the radar way.
But in order to make educational content go viral, it needs to have widespread appeal centered around something people can relate to (see point #2) and packaged in a fun format.
Inman has found success creating educational pieces that go viral about subjects like beer, coffee and common spelling mistakes.
He also has a knack for picking subjects that everyone can relate to but many people lack background or historical knowledge on. Of course what really makes his pieces hugely popular is the creative format he packages them in and the humor he injects to make learning about something like coffee entertaining.
But for everybody else whose middle name isn't Picasso and isn't a stand-up comedian, drawing funny cartoons may not be the best choice.
Instead, try shaking up your routine blog posts with infographics (which perform particularly well on social media), humorous photos that emphasize your points or videos that make your educational content more engaging.
6. Headlines that Get Clicks
While subject matter and format are critical for creating viral content, the most important ingredient for getting more eyeballs to your stuff is your headline.
As David Olgilvy famously said, "When you have written your headline, you have spent 80 cents out of your dollar."
In spaces like Twitter and Facebook, a headline is often all people will see so you need one that makes a great first impression and prompts action.
And at the heart of every good headline is the promise of a benefit to the reader.
For The Oatmeal's "6 Reasons Bacon is Better than True Love" there are a few promises made to the reader that make this a compelling headline.
- The first promise is that it will be entertaining. After all, we're comparing bacon and true love here.
- The second promise is that it will satisfy your curiosity as to how bacon can be better than true love.
- The third promise is that the content will be a quick, entertaining snack wrapped up in 6 points. It won't take all day to consume.
The better your headline, the better your chances of getting large amounts of traffic to your content.
7. Be Original and Do What You Love
None of the above strategies would matter if Inman wasn't creating remarkable content. His comics are creative and original and they bring people a moment of joy to their day.
It's clear The Oatmeal was a site put together by someone who's doing what he loves and it comes through in Inman's work. Don't over look this element for creating content other people will find interesting which is what "going viral" is all about.

In 1861 Carleton Watkins took the definitive picture of Yosemite Valley from the aptly named Inspiration Point. The sheer granite wall of El Capitan, as sharp as if cut with a cleaver, fills one side of the photo. A rising tier of rock monoliths marches up the other, with a slender waterfall cascading off the side. If someone painted a picture of the scene, you wouldn't believe such a place could really exist.
When Albert Bierstadt saw the photo in a New York show he went West posthaste, traveling to California, then venturing up the coast to Washington. Bierstadt was one of the leading lights of the Hudson River School, a group of painters whose light-infused canvases celebrated the beauty of the natural world even as the 19th century's rush to industrialism was decimating that same landscape.
But it was the vast, still unspoiled wilderness of the American West that would propel Bierstadt to fame and fortune. His huge, histrionic canvases (especially of Yosemite) would fuse the grandeur of nature with his own fantasies — a perfect metaphor for America's Manifest Destiny.
"Bierstadt was the right artist for a historic time in America," notes Patricia Junker, a curator at the Seattle Art Museum, where a new show chronicles the artistic dimension of Western expansionism. "Beauty and Bounty: American Art in an Age of Exploration," features more than 100 paintings, photos and other artifacts. Many of the paintings are from private collections in the Pacific Northwest and have rarely been on public view.
"We are now here in the garden of Eden," Bierstadt wrote from Yosemite during the Civil War. "The most magnificent place I was ever in, and I employ every moment painting from nature.… [W]e get no news, and do not care for any for we are perfectly happy with fine scenery, trout, ducks, deer, etc."
The exhibition amounts to a pictorial road trip through America's scenic wonders: Frederic Edwin Church's small oil sketch of Niagara Falls, Thomas Moran's otherworldly depiction of the Grand Canyon, Sanford Gifford's lovely study of Mt. Rainier from Tacoma Bay, Bierstadt's serene vista of deer drinking from a river in Kings Canyon.
Scores of photos verify how grand the Western landscape actually was and, sadly, also document its destruction. One gallery features the large-format photos of Darius Kinsey, who, in the early 20th century, spent several years in the Pacific Northwest timber country as wholesale logging denuded entire mountainsides.
One heartbreaking black-and-white photo shows a huge cedar tree virtually chopped in half yet still standing upright. One logger sits in the middle of the undercut, while two others flank the tree. Axes stick out of its bark like the pikes at a bullfight. "Supposed to have been the largest tree in Washington," Kinsey wrote at the bottom of the picture.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is the museum's "Puget Sound on the Pacific Coast," Bierstadt's overwrought rendering of a group of Indians pulling a boat to shore while waves explode on rocks and the heavens swirl in storm. Never a subtle painter, this is Bierstadt at his most bombastic. Though the artist traveled to Washington, he never reached Puget Sound. The gallery holding the picture also features model Indian canoes and ethnographic books that Bierstadt collected as fodder for his imagination.
"The fine points of the little-known Puget Sound landscape itself were less important to Americans in 1870," Junker writes, "than was the fantasized idea of Puget Sound — a storied inland sea that was a gateway to exotic-seeming points of the globe and lands of unknown people."
Bierstadt painted the picture in his New York studio seven years after his visit to Washington — just after the completion of the transcontinental railway, whose girdling of the nation is shown in many of the photos.
At the other end of the spectrum is William Keith's painting of the Nisqually Glacier on the flank of Mt. Rainier. Keith came to climb the 14,411-foot peak with his friend John Muir in 1888. While Muir reached the summit, Keith didn't make it any higher than 5,700 feet. But what he saw from there was still fantastic: a sea of ice, buckling and bending and erupting into incredible shapes. In the distance, 50 miles away, rose the snow-covered volcano of Mt. Adams. Wherever he painted the picture, Keith's impressionist-like brushwork contains a vibrancy and immediacy that Bierstadt's labored work never aspired to. And, once again, nature outdid fantasy.

Facing the Specter of Muslim American Terrorism
by: Saadia Faruqi on February 25th, 2013 | 15 Comments »
February this year seems to be the month of revelations – not just heartfelt wows of love on Valentine's Day, but something much more sinister and worrying. Four news reports with sometimes conflicting messages have been released this month from various sources, all discussing the perceived threat (or the lack thereof) of homegrown terrorism by Muslim Americans.
What's interesting about all four publications this month is that twelve years after 9/11 the stereotype of the Muslim terrorist is no weaker than it was right after the horrific attacks that rocked our nation. We may have become more politically correct than before, or even more educated and aware about "the other", but underneath it all we still nurse the wounds of 9/11 and identify with a collective enemy: the Muslim American.
Very early in February came "Muslim American Terrorism: Declining Further", a publication by the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security. Experts at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill have been tracking terrorist plots within the country for the last several years, and some noteworthy facts emerge this year in their fourth annual report. According to the report, 2012 saw the lowest number of terrorist plots by Muslim Americans, with only 14 Muslims indicted in plots last year, as opposed to 21 the year before and more than 200 since 9/11. Perhaps most thought-provoking is the fact that all the incidents in 2012 came to the attention of law enforcement at an early stage, rather than at the last possible moment of an actual attack as in previous years. Which begs the question, are the police and FBI doing a better job than ever before?
The answer to that question is a study in contradictions, as two news stories this month highlight. A video on Huffington Post showed exactly how the FBI is tracking would-be terrorists. More than 15,000 documents in 34 states across the nation show racial profiling of several suspect communities based on stereotypes and perceptions. I may be stating the obvious, but assuming that everyone who holds a certain religious belief or emigrates from certain countries is "bad" is never a good idea. Another news article by AP similarly shows civil rights lawyers filing a protest with the U.S. District Court in Manhattan against NYPD's routine surveillance of Muslims in "restaurants, bookstores and mosques". According to most experts, this is hardly constitutional and in fact leads the way to discrimination and bias in all walks of life.
Perhaps secret surveillance may be the reason that 2012 showed the lowest number of terrorist threats by Muslim Americans. Or perhaps credit goes to the highest ever number of FBI informants who infiltrate Muslim American communities under the guise of friendship. A paper by Sahar Aziz of the Texas Wesleyan School of Law, entitled "Policing Terrorists in the Community" was published last week with some startling information. Aziz says that there are now more than 15,000 FBI-paid informants in the country, whose tasks are largely driven by religious profiling. She highlights that "community policing developed in the 1990s to combat violent crime in inner city communities is being adopted as a means of collaborating with Muslim communities and local police to combat Islamist homegrown terrorism."
FBI informants may be helpful in some instances, but their job description often requires entrapment rather than prevention of crime. According to the Triangle Center report, a conflicted young man, after being told by his Imam that jihad did not mean violence, sought the advice of a friend who just happened to be an undercover FBI agent. While a true friend would have confirmed the Imam's teachings and told him not to move forward with any terrorist activity, the FBI agent instead urged him to follow his heart and continue. The result was entrapment at its finest.
In light of these reports, I fail to see the big picture benefit. With every such publication or news story, Muslim Americans are feeling more insecure. We no longer know who is watching us at school, work, or even at our place of worship. We don't know if our friend is really a friend or an undercover agent. Life is bound to become full of fear, suspicion and stress. Add to that the current wave of vandalism and outcry against the building of mosques in our communities, and we find ourselves raising an entire generation of people who fear their own government, as well as each other. How is that conducive to a peaceful, prosperous nation?
