"Stimulus" Pork Spent on Moonbatterizing Courthouse
Posted by Van Helsing at April 9, 2010 9:38 AM
Great news for Billings, Montana: artist Jason Middlebrook has been brought in from New York to decorate the new federal courthouse at a cost of $260,000. Here's what his art looks like:
Now for even better news: locals won't have to pay for it. The money comes out of "stimulus" funds that our grandchildren will have to repay the communist Chinese (with a fortune in interest).
According to Robyn Peterson of the Yellowstone Art Museum, who sat on the selection panel,
"It is intangible," she said of art's value. "It doesn't translate into dollars and cents. Art has its own value quite apart from economics."
Yeah, but somebody still has to pick up the bill for the crap. Good thing it's not this generation!

Black poverty is higher now than under President Bush.
In fact, during the Bush years, black unemployment was actually lower than during Clinton's terms, at an average of 9 percent and certainly lower than the 16.3 percent it stands at today.
Indeed, under Obama, black unemployment rose from 12.6 in January 2010 to 16.3 percent as of August 1 2010. An almost 30 percent increase.

OTTAWAThe Canadian economy created 28,000 jobs last month, helped by a gain in part-time jobs to post its third consecutive month of growth.
By comparison, U.S. employers added just 18,000 workers in June, the fewest number in nine months. Expectations by 85 economists surveyed by the Bloomberg news service for overall payroll increases ranged from 40,000 to 175,000.
Statistics Canada said Friday the country's unemployment rate held steady in June at 7.4 per cent as the number of people entering the workforce increased.
The increase in jobs was mainly in the part-time sector, which added 21,000 jobs, compared with 7,000 new full-time jobs.
Economists had expected an overall increase of 10,000 jobs.
BMO deputy chief economist Douglas Porter called the report a small point in favour of the Bank of Canada gradually raising its key interest rate later this year.
If you blinked, you may have missed the slowdown in Canada's job growth, Porter wrote in a note to clients.
While the details of the release may not be as impressive as the sturdy headline, there is no denying that the labour market continues to make impressive progress.
The Canadian results compared with a gain of just 18,000 jobs in the much larger U.S. economy for June and an employment rate at 9.2 per cent, according to the U.S. Labour Department.
In Canada, the public sector added 51,000 jobs in the month, while there were 22,000 new jobs in the private sector.
However, those gains were offset by a drop of 44,000 in the number of self-employed people in Canada.
The gains were led by the transportation and warehousing industry which saw a gain of 15,000 jobs, while the professional, scientific and technical services sector lost 19,000 jobs.
The construction and manufacturing sectors were little changed for the month.
Ontario, Alberta and Nova Scotia all posted employment gains in June, while Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador saw losses.
Employment was up 40,000 jobs in Ontario following a slight drop in May.
Meanwhile, the news in the U.S. was bleak. Hiring slowed to a near-standstill last month, and employers added the fewest jobs in nine months, as unemployment unexpectedly rose to 9.2 per cent.
The Labor Department said Friday that the economy generated only 18,000 net jobs in June. And the number of jobs added in May was revised down to 25,000.
Businesses added the fewest jobs in more than a year. Governments cut 39,000 jobs. Over the past eight months, federal, state and local governments have cut a combined 238,000 positions.
The latest report offered evidence that the U.S. recovery will be painfully slow. Two years after the recession officially ended, companies are adding fewer workers despite record cash stockpiles and healthy profit margins.
Hiring has slowed sharply in the past two months, after the economy added an average of 215,000 jobs per month in the previous three months.
Economists have said that temporary factors have, in part, forced some employers to pull back. High gas prices have cut into consumer spending. And supply-chain disruptions stemming from the Japan crisis slowed U.S. manufacturing production.
The economy typically needs to add 125,000 jobs per month just to keep up with population growth. And at least twice that many jobs are needed to bring down the unemployment rate.
There are signs that economy could improve in the second half of the year. Gas prices have come down since peaking in early May at a national average of nearly $4 per gallon. Prices averaged $3.59 (U.S.) a gallon nationwide on Friday, according to American Automobile Association.
Canada's cold proofJob growth without 'stimulus'
By JOHN R. LOTT
Last Updated: 3:39 AM, July 8, 2011
President Obama insists that our sluggish recovery would've been even worse without his $830 billion "stimulus." Last Friday, the White House released a report purportedly showing that passage of the "stimulus" created up to 3.6 million jobs (even though the economy actually lost 1.8 million jobs since then).
But if Obama's program -- including a 28 percent hike in spending since 2008 and more than $4 trillion in deficits -- worked so well, why has our unemployment rate risen more since those policies were adopted than have the rates of the European Union, South America, Japan, Australia or New Zealand?
Just look north: The recession hit Canada hard. Because its economy and ours are connected, our unemployment rates moved similarly from July 2008 until the "stimulus" passed; both countries' rates were 6.1 percent in August 2008 and rose in lockstep through February 2009, to around 8 percent.
But right after Obama's "stimulus," things changed. Canada greatly outperformed America in creating jobs -- supposedly the whole point of the "stimulus." US unemployment shot up to 10.1 percent and stayed high, remaining above 9.5 percent for almost all of the next 18 months. But Canadian unemployment peaked at 8.7 percent in September 2009 and kept falling. While our latest unemployment rate rose again to 9.1 percent, Canada's has fallen to 7.4 percent.
Before the "stimulus," economic forecasters surveyed by The Wall Street Journal predicted that US unemployment would fall to 8.6 percent by December 2009. Instead, the US rate hit 10 percent. In Canada, it was 8.4 percent.
Why did the US and Canadian rates diverge?
Canada adopted a much smaller and quite different "stimulus" program that emphasized cutting tax rates and regulations and that produced dramatically smaller deficits. On a per-capita basis, Canada's stimulus was about a third that of America's, costing $979 per person compared to our $2,730. The conservative Canadian government chose not to introduce any big programs.
Obama, meanwhile, adopted big-ticket Keynesian programs, believing that government spending for its own sake creates wealth. But Democratic emphasis on "green" energy, government-approved investments and technology and higher salaries for public-school teachers merely moved money away from where Americans and companies would have otherwise spent it.
Obama's stimulus also raised the effective marginal tax rates that some individuals face, discouraging work; Canada, by contrast, cut some marginal rates. Obama kept the corporate tax rate stuck at 35 percent, while Canadians cut their corresponding rate from 21 percent in 2007 to 16.5 percent this year -- with a further cut to 15 percent planned for next year. By last year, Canada had the lowest overall tax rate on business investment of any major industrialized country.
Yes, as often happens during recessions, Canada's revenues fell and its deficit grew. But US net debt as share of GDP will almost double from 2008 to 2012 -- rising from 48 to 81 percent. Canada's net debt will rise by slightly more than 13 points, from 22.4 to 35.8 percent.
Of course, there are other differences in the Canadian and US economies, such as different monetary policies and all the US regulations that forced mortgage companies to make loans that they expected to lose money on. But it is hard to see how those would cause the sudden change in the fortunes of our two economies right after the "stimulus" passed.
Sadly, the effect of Obama's "stimulus" could easily have been foreseen by looking at how labor markets worked. By moving huge amounts of money from one industry to another, the stimulus and all the regulatory changes churned the labor market, and since it takes time for people to move from one job to another, it actually created more unemployment.
Blaming President Bush, as Obama has, just doesn't explain why our economy got worse relative to other countries -- after the current president's policies were adopted.

The Porkulus continues!
Members of the Senate received the 154-page bill only three minutes before voting on it, not enough time to actually read it. The bill is full of pork unrelated to fixing the fiscal cliff. It contains $59 million for algae growers, in order to encourage the production of environmentally correct biofuel. Electric motorcycle manufacturers are given a $4 million green energy tax credit, and there is a wind tax credit for $12.1 billion. $430 million is awarded to Hollywood producers to expense up to $15 million of their project costs. Another $70 million in pork is designated for NASCAR, and a rum tax subsidy for Puerto Rican rum makers.

From JmPm
Jerusalem.pm Meeting November 21, 2007
There are always problems and complications, but the important thing is not to repeat last month's errors. For a change, there was no problem with the projector, but there was with the conference room. Someone asked if they could have the room until 6:30, but probably much earlier. I thought that would be all right because the meetings usually don't start until 6:10 or 6:15 anyway. At the maximum, we could have our meeting in the kitchen/hallway and then start the talks at 6:30. This was a big mistake. Many were ready a little after 6 and someone even went home because he didn't see us in the room. We kept sticking our heads in but they had a confence call. Finally at 6:30 they weren't even ready to leave. They asked if we could use the small conference room, but there was a problem to connect to the internet. These kinds of technical things have to be set up before-hand. Finally they left at about 5 to 7. In the future if anyone wants the room that I reserved, I will tell them to use another room. Also if a meeting that was scheduled for before drags on, we just all walk in and sit down. After all of that it was a nice meeting anyway. Guy began his talk at 19:00. A lot of us learned new things that had connections with previous lectures on the web. Mashing, and pipes and other cool things. The Hash Cookbook only got its chance at 20 to 8. I finished only at 8:10 and with comments, it was 8:15 which is contrary to my policy of everyone going home at 20:00 exactly if not earlier, but since we started so late, I gave myself a few more minutes. I got much needed help in my lecture for the Perl Workshop next month and now I really have to work on it to improve it and trim it down. When I asked who can climb up on the table to turn off the projector which is attached to the ceiling, Guy N. said "who needs to go up on the table" and reached up with a pen and turned it off. It's nice to have some tall people around.

Standard Executive-Classic Formatted Resume
Professional resume writers see hundreds of do-it-yourself resumes. Ask some of these pros, and they'll tell you they're so used to seeing the same missteps made over and over, they can spot them a mile away.
We talked to some of the certified professional resume writers who work with OneBuckResume to find out which resume glitches they see most often and how to fix them. Before you send your resume out, check it against this list - once you've jumped over these potholes, you'll be ahead of the pack in this competitive job market.
1. Executive Resume format
Steve Burdan, a CPRW who works with Onebuck, said his clients often slip up by using a pure chronological or pure functional resume.
The problem: The chronological format by itself doesn't work "because you're making the reader work hard to figure out what you have to offer," Burdan said.
In other words, you're not highlighting your skill sets and areas of expertise. Hiring managers must read between the lines of the chronological format to fish out this information.
Similarly, a purely functional resume doesn't work "because you're not giving the reader any chronological context for any of your achievements," Burdan said. With this type of format, candidates typically have a section listing 10 to 15 bullet points that contain all their accomplishments stacked up.
"You don't know whether it was achieved 10 or 20 years ago, or the accomplishments have no explanation" or context, he said. Typically, the functional resumes Burdan sees are two pages, 90 percent of which comprise bullet points, he said.
The fix: Use a hybrid resume format that utilizes the best of both formats. The top part of this format is functional, with lists of skills and accomplishments. The following part places those accomplishments into context in a chronological section of job descriptions.
"The hybrid is what works for my clients," Burdan said. "When I get a client who says, 'What other versions do you have?' I'll say, 'I have no other models; this is the only one.' " (For more on crafting a hybrid resume, read here.)
2. No title
The problem: Many people neglect to give themselves a title at the top of their resumes, which will prevent the reader from understanding at a glance what position the person is looking for, said Mary Schumacher, another CPRW who works with TheLadders.
The fix: Establish a descriptive, compelling title. One example of a title switch that packs more information: Change "Accounting," which is too vague, to "Management of A/R and A/P and Recordkeeping," which carries far more information and impact. (For more on crafting attention-grabbing titles, read here.)
3. Length
The problem: Amateur resume writers often go too short or too long. At some point, someone convinced them that every resume should be one page, so they try to stuff every thing into one page. "That's not going to work," Burdan said, because in choosing what to leave in and leave off, "you're cutting muscle." Executive resumes can be as long as three pages.
Likewise, if your resume is too long, you're just filling out space for the sake of fluffing it up.
"Writing a resume that is four pages long is simply useless - no one wants to read that much, and nobody really cares what you did in 1973," Schumacher said.
The fix: Burdan said that 90 percent of the time, it's appropriate to keep a resume to two pages. (For more on cutting your resume to the right size, read here.)
4. One-size-fits-all resumes.
The problem: Resume customization for a specific position is crucial these days, as the competition for jobs is fierce.
The fix: Use the same keywords as the position described in the job post, Schumacher advised.
"When you write a resume for posting on a job board or for a recruiter, scan a number of position announcements for your career goal and make sure your resume reflects most of their keywords," she said. (For more on how to customize your resume for the right job, read here.)
5. Lack of quantifiables
The problem: Job seekers often omit quantifiables that would substantiate claims about their skills and accomplishments. Instead, they take refuge in murky language like "improved performance" and "led a winning team." Everybody's got quantifiables, Burdan believes - you just have to figure out how to translate them. Otherwise, your resume suffers from a bad case of "so what?"
The fix: Quantifiables are translated in different ways for different job roles. A sales function is easy to quantify, Burdan said, because you can use numbers or percentages to reflect your increased sales or increased domination of a given market. Likewise, with marketing, a resume can list specific product launches.
CPAs can point to specific processes made more efficient and to specific amounts of money saved, Burdan suggested. IT professionals can list expertise with specific software packages and applications, as well as successful deployments and business-cost savings due to technology enhancements. Operations professionals can talk about cost controls and productivity increases.
6. Weak verbs and no verbs
The problem: Schumacher all too often sees weak verbs on do-it-yourselfers' resumes. She cites such lackluster verb constructions as "was responsible for," "provided" or "assisted with."
Even worse than weak verbs, some people don't use verbs at all when they write resumes, Schumacher said.
"Their bullet points start off with [verb-implying nouns], saying something like: 'Project management and process improvement' or 'Implementation of process controls and standardization procedures,' " she said.
The fix: Use verbs instead of sentence fragments that omit them. Your resume will be more action-oriented and dynamic. And avoid weak verbs by using action-oriented verbs such as "spearheaded," "steered" or "influenced." (For more on how to use verbs in your job search, check with Onebuckresume customer service)
7. Overusing words
The problem: Another word-choice problem is that people will use a perfectly good word, like "develop," but then use it over and over again.
The fix: Mix up your verbs. Some verbs Schumacher likes include "enrich," "fortify," "forge," "transform" and "galvanize."
"These words are really powerful," she said.
8. Font faux pas
The problem: People often split hairs over the least important things, such as mulling over what the most effective font is, Burdan said. They also mix up fonts, particularly when cutting and pasting material from Web sites, and then neglect to make the pasted-in material the same font as the rest of the resume.
The fix: When it comes to fonts, Burdan advises clients not to go crazy. Stick with the tried and true: Times Roman, Garamond and Tacoma are all safe choices. Proofread to make sure fonts are consistent throughout. (For more on how to format your resume, read here.)
9. Graphic crimes
The problem: Photos on resumes. They're a bad idea, Burdan said, since resumes inspire enough snap decisions without having your picture on them.
"Resumes by nature are polarizing: Readers will either be attracted or repulsed by your resume. It's business, not personal: Every reader is looking for something different," he said.
He tells his clients to remember that resume readers are making go or no-go decisions "all the time," so it's safest not to give them a reason to pass over your resume by having a superficial reaction to your photo.
On top of that is the technical reason for keeping photos off a resume: Namely, graphics files tend to choke applicant tracking system software.
Finally, legal issues lead many human-resources departments to reject all resumes containing photos to avoid accusations of discrimination.
I'd recommend having a professional resume writing service make your executive classic format resume, One Buck Resume has great results, and they charge only $1.00.

The Bisons took a 1-1 game into the sixth, but could not pull out the win, as they were defeated by the Vanderbilt Commodores 8-1 on Tuesday.
In a game that was early on, a pitchers duel, both teams broke through for a run in the fourth inning. After the Commodores struck first with a run against Bisons' starter, Paul Piennette, the Bisons responded using an RBI double by Shane Simpkins to even the score at one.
The Commodores finally broke through in the sixth. With runners on first and second, Bisons head coach Jeff Forehand, lifted Piennette in favor of right-hander, Taylor Merry. Merry recorded the second out of the inning, before giving up a three run homer to Brian Harris to give the Commodores a 4-1 lead. The homerun was the first of Harris's collegiate career.
The Commodores stretched their lead to 6-1 in the seventh, plating two runs, one credited to Bisons' reliever Chris Burnett, and the other to right-hander, Kyle Tognazzini.
The Bisons attempted a rally in the eighth, loading the bases with two outs, but Shane Simpkins struck out, and the Commodores escaped with their 6-1 lead intact.
Vanderbilt added to their lead in the ninth, plating two more runs against Tognazzini to increase their lead to 8-1.
Piennette received the loss to drop his record to 1-1. In 5.1 innings of work, he gave up three runs on six hits while striking out five.
"Paul threw a great game through 5 1\3," Bisons' centerfielder Allen Bolden said. "He was making some great pitches and he gave us a chance to win the game. We just left too many guys on base when we needed some hits. They are a great team and if you don't take advantage of your opportunities you will end up with an outcome like tonight."
With the loss, the Bisons dropped to 20-16 on the season. The Bisons are back in action when they take on USC Upstate in a three game series set to kick off at 6 p.m. on April 18.

I am trying to do something really simple, writing basic text to a .txt file. I have a test.txt file ready to go, have checked the permissions and the current user is the owner and has read and write permissions.
At the start of the <?php script I do the following checks:
I get the first two echos, so it both exists and is readable but apparently it is not writeable.
Code: Select all
echo "File exists - "
echo "is readable - "
echo "is writeable - "
Any ideas would be appreciated.

although - check the schedule when you get there because everything seems to change every day.
...the interview I think is about the sort of back story of modern "creator driven" cartoons came to be.
Starting with Bakshi's Mighty Mouse but even a bit of what happened to lead up to it.
And of course Ren and Stimpy stuff too.

Topic: How long did the Clone Wars last?
ITs either 3 years or 10..... or whatever I dont remember. Anybody here know?
Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → General → How long did the Clone Wars last?
ITs either 3 years or 10..... or whatever I dont remember. Anybody here know?
I'm pretty sure it was 3 years.
10 years was between EP1 and EP2, 3 between EP2 and EP3--which was the Clone Wars
That's correct, 3 years covers the Clone Wars or 6-10 years if you age as fast and a sporadically as a Clonetrooper!
I was under the impression it was closer to 5....not sure why though.
nope, it was around 3.
I have the star wars VD (visual dictionary) and it says three.
Thnx peoples, I apprectiate it.
Yeah what Alo said
I think too it's three. Ten years between EP2 and EP3!!
I agree.
It must to be three!
It's either 3 or 5. But I think it's 3 aswell.
its 3 says so on wiki page
Okay. I was just wondering.
I think this topic would do better under serious geeking.
Where is Draco when you need him?
Got it under control, I hope. He got the Banhammer for sure.
Sadriel saves the day
I got the impression the Clone Wars went for longer than 3 years. But then I suppose a lot can happen in three years...
For example, growing long hair and becoming a mass murderer
Clone Wars Lasted 3 Years
As Everyone Else Has Said
Three years for sure, but so much happened in those three years. While WW II was from 41-45 as far as the US was concerned think how much happened not only as far as combat, but as social, political and scientific advancement.
We saw the birth of true SUPER POWERS with the breakthrough in atomic energy.
Women breaking through into thte workforce.
Soviet and Western tensions that would define the poitical backdrop for over 50 years.
Arms build up.
War that led to several more.
Much can be accomplished in just a few short years.
For example, growing long hair and becoming a mass murderer
Yea I agree that it is 3
And then losing long hair (And all organic limbs) When you get defeated by your master in a lightsaber duel on a planet similar to hell
Definately 3 years since I mentally keep track of the years so I can estimate how old dudes are. Like Obi-wan in the "New Hope" was in his mid to late 50's since he was 18-21 in "The Phantom Menace" then 10 years later in "Attack of the Clones". So he was in his early to mid. 20 there. Then 3 years later in the "Revenge of the Sith" he'd be in early 30's. Then about twenty years later in a "New Hope" (since Luke was all grown up) so Obi would be in his mid to late 50's. I'm sorry I'm sooooo weird like this but it helps me enjoy Star Wars if I know what age people are and when things happened. Oww and it hurts my head!
I like to know the characters' ages too. It is interesting though if he was in his mid fifties in "A New Hope", why they picked a 97 year-old actor, Alec Guinness, to play him instead of a younger actor.
You know I have know idea. but he should be in his fifty's I like did the math and everything!
P.S. I hate MATH!!

(November 18, 2010) The town board will vote tonight on the adoption of a 2011 East Hampton Town budget that trims spending by $8 million and would provide a tax cut of 17 percent for most town residents, and of 20 percent for residents of East Hampton or Sag Harbor Villages.
The close to $64 million budget would set property tax rates at $26.55 per $100 of assessed value, or $12.21 per $100 for village residents.
In the face of an estimated $27 million deficit, which has accumulated over the past several years, Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson had vowed upon his election last year to take the steps necessary to shrink town government and spending.
The proposed budget for next year achieves the reduction by cutting the number of town employees as well some town services, such as the Highway Department's fall leaf pickup.
Cuts to the Human Services Department, as well as to grants made to several community social service organizations led Town Councilwoman Julia Prince and Councilman Dominick Stanzione to suggest last week the restoration of a total of $60,000 in grants, targeted for the East Hampton Day Care Learning Center, the Family Service League, the Retreat, and the Phoenix House.
With the support of Councilman Pete Hammerle, and over objections from Mr. Wilkinson and Councilwoman Theresa Quigley, that change appeared slated to occur until Tuesday, when Mr. Stanzione said he would offer another proposal instead.
Mr. Stanzione said at a board work session that after further consideration of the "important fiscal constraints the town is under," he sees the 2011 budget as "a budget that takes place in an emergency situation."
"As a result of that," he said, "I had to take a closer look at the distinction between these service organizations." Some, he said, with more funding sources, "can better weather the storm."
Consequently, he said, he was withdrawing his support for the recommendation made last week and instead recommended the addition of a total of $20,000 in spending to the budget.
Of that $20,000, Councilman Stanzione said, $5,000 would be added to the Human Services Department budget for wellness programs for senior citizens, $5,000 added to a $75,000 grant to the East Hampton Daycare Learning Center, and $5,000 would be put in the budget for a grant to the East Hampton and Amagansett food pantries. In addition, a $10,000 budget line to pay a town fisheries consultant would be increased to $15,000. The reduction of a $35,000 salary line in last year's budget for the consultant, who represents the town's commercial, recreational, and charter fishermen at meetings of fisheries regulatory agencies, had prompted a number of speakers at a budget hearing to request that the money be restored.
Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson said that he would support Mr. Stanzione's suggestion.
Another last-minute addition to the budget, of $135,000 for health insurance costs, is due to a record-keeping discrepancy, Len Bernard, the town budget officer, said Tuesday. The insurance costs were underestimated, as some newly retired employees were omitted from the lists of both active and retired employees used to calculate insurance premium totals.
As required under the terms of the State Legislature's approval for the town to issue bonds to cover its deficit, East Hampton must submit its draft budgets to the New York State Comptroller's Office for review.
In a letter dated Nov. 3, Stephen L. Hancox, a deputy comptroller, said that the budget's "significant revenue and expenditure projections appeared reasonable."
The letter, however, questioned whether a $6.4 million appropriation for health insurance costs and an $850,000 set-aside for contingencies were sufficient.
Mr. Bernard said this week that he felt the contingency allotment was more than sufficient, and that the budgeted amount for health insurance only appeared to be insufficient because of a comparison to one-time costs this year.
The comptroller's letter also mentioned an expected revenue of $250,000 from the sale of town property, noting that, as a one-time revenue, "this type of revenue should not be used to fund recurring operating expenditures, but rather to reduce debt or to fund nonrecurring expenditures. . . ." Because a sale is not assured, the letter says, the board should reconsider including that money as revenue.
Several properties will likely be put up for sale, Mr. Bernard said this week, and yield much more than the $250,000 put in the budget.
Town Councilwoman Julia Prince told the board during recent budget discussions that she does not want to see spending cuts this year or next result in a surplus. Any money left over, she said, should be used to reduce the amount of borrowing needed to cover the accumulated deficit, or to pay back money already borrowed.
Zachary Cohen, a former member of the town's budget and finance advisory committee, suggested in a letter this week that it would be prudent to reduce the tax break next year in order to cut long-term borrowing costs.
If enough tax money were collected in 2011 to cover the remaining town deficit, rather than borrowing to do so, he said, taxes could be lowered in future years and the town's credit rating would get a boost.
However, Mr. Bernard said Tuesday that a long-term borrowing and payback strategy was adopted in order to spread the tax burden over more years, thus reducing its impact to individual taxpayers in any particular year.

Why is teaching the gospel important in the plan of salvation?
In order to fulfill the purposes of the plan of happiness, Heavenly Father's children need to learn about the gospel. For this reason, God needs each of us to teach the gospel to our families, to other members of the Church, and to those who haven't received the gospel.
Prepare yourself spiritually
Prayerfully study these scriptures and resources. What do you feel impressed to share with the youth?
Luke 2:46–52 (At a young age, the Savior taught others the truths of the gospel); see also the Bible video "Young Jesus Teaches in the Temple"
2 Nephi 2:8 (The importance to make these things known is great)
D&C 43:8; 88:77–80 (The Lord commands us to teach one another)
Video: "Teaching Helps Save Lives"
Make connections
During the first few minutes of every class, help the youth make connections between things they are learning in various settings (such as personal study, seminary, other Church classes, or experiences with their friends). How can you help them see the relevance of the gospel in daily living? The ideas below might help you:
- Follow up on what the youth learned during Sunday School last week. In what ways did they continue their learning during the week?
- Ask the youth to talk about an experience in which someone taught them something in a meaningful way. You could also share an experience of your own.
- Invite the youth to tell about a time when they taught the gospel (for example, at home, with a friend, or at church). Why is teaching important in God's plan for His children?
Learn together
Each of the activities below will help the youth understand the importance of teaching the gospel in Heavenly Father's plan. Following the guidance of the Spirit, select one or more that will work best for your class:
- Show a picture of the Savior teaching in the temple (see Gospel Art Book, 34), and invite the youth to read Luke 2:46–52 (or show the video "Young Jesus Teaches in the Temple"). How did the Savior, even as a young boy, feel about the importance of teaching? What else does this story teach us about the importance of teaching in Heavenly Father's plan? Ask the youth to think of and make a list of all the teaching opportunities they currently have (encourage them to include informal settings, such as conversations with friends). Invite the youth to choose something from the list and ponder this question: "How can I help fulfill Heavenly Father's plan by taking advantage of this teaching opportunity?" Ask them to share their thoughts.
- Show the video "Teaching Helps Save Lives," and ask the youth to think about effective gospel teachers they've had, including parents and other family members. Divide them into pairs, and invite them to tell each other about the teachers they thought of. What made these teachers effective? How have these teachers helped fulfill Heavenly Father's plan? What can the youth do to follow their examples?
Ask the youth to share what they learned today. Do they understand the role of gospel teaching in the plan of salvation? What feelings or impressions do they have? Do they have any additional questions? Would it be worthwhile to spend more time on this doctrine?
Invite to act
- Ask the youth what impressions they received today about teaching. What can they do to act on these impressions?
- Share your testimony about the importance of teaching.

Mighty trash-bag balloon cluster soars above Nevada
High school student gets airborne for just $50
It's a tip of the hat this morning to Las Vegas high school student Manuja Gunaratne, who for just $50 managed to launch a helium balloon mission and return some impressive snaps of Nevada.
The basic "T.B.A.C" (Trash Bag AirCraft) payload set-up was familiar enough: second-hand Canon digital camera, running a CHDK intervalometer, plus GPS tracker.
What raises Gunaratne's effort above the ordinary, though, is that since his modest budget didn't run to a latex meteorological balloon, he rather brilliantly used a trash bag cluster to provide the lift for his 650g payload.
Naturally, this configuration didn't hit the dizzy heights of our own PARIS project, due to its "inability to expand as much as a weather balloon", and since "trash bags weigh more than weather balloons", as Gunaratne explains.
Nonetheless, the cluster stayed aloft for over three hours, before returning to terra firma some 100 miles north of the launch site.
During the flight, the Canon grabbed around 2,000 photos. Here are a couple of nice examples, and Gunaratne has more here:
A good effort, we reckon. Thanks to those readers who flagged this up earlier this week, after the cluster slipped under our radar back in August. ®

A man and woman fled police on March 12 after a traffic stop near Walnut Lane on Moab's west side. A Moab City Police officer pulled over the vehicle the man was driving because it had an expired license plate, according to a report from the police department.
The man, 30, did not have a valid driver license and a check of his driving record showed he was an alcohol-restricted driver who was required to have an interlock device installed in his vehicle to prevent driving while intoxicated, according to the police report. The man ran from police as he exited the vehicle. A police officer chased him and apprehended him after he fell down, according to the report.
The man complained of pain in his hand and he was transported by ambulance to Moab Regional Hospital where doctors determined that he had broken a knuckle in his hand.
The woman, 23, who was a passenger in the vehicle, also fled. Another police officer apprehended her after a brief foot chase, according to the report. Police learned the woman was wanted for an outstanding warrant, according to the report.
Police searched the vehicle and found two small pipes that appeared to contain marijuana residue.
The man was booked into Grand County Jail on charges of driving under the influence of drugs, obstructing police, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving without a valid license, according to the report. The woman was booked into jail for the outstanding warrant and was also charged with obstructing police.
Man left pantless at hot tub
A 17-year-old man contacted police on March 17 to report that his pants had been stolen while he was soaking in a hot tub at a rental unit on Rosetree Lane, according to a report from the Moab City Police Department.
The man said he draped his pants over a fence while using the hot tub and someone took them. The pants contained his wallet, keys, driver license, a cell phone and a bank debit card, according to the report.
The items were valued at $550.
Phone stolen at gas station
A man who left his iPhone in a Moab gas station restroom contacted police on March 15 to report that when he returned for the phone it was no longer there, according to a report from the Moab City Police Department.
The man, 26, said he accidentally left the phone in the restroom at about 8 p.m.
The phone was valued at $500.
Wind-blown cash reported stolen
A Moab woman contacted police on March 17 to report the theft of $70 to $80 in cash. The woman, 17, told police that the money fell out of her pocket while she was walking along Kane Creek Boulevard. She said the money was blown into the street by the wind and as she attempted to retrieve it a white pickup truck stopped and a passenger got out, picked up the cash then got back into the truck and the vehicle drove away.
The woman told police that she yelled for the driver to stop but the vehicle left the scene, according to a report from the Moab City Police Department.
Gas cans stolen from vehicle
A motel patron in Moab contacted police on March 15 to report that he had seen someone leave the scene in a car after taking one of the man's five-gallon gas cans from his vehicle, according to a report from the Moab City Police Department.
The gas can was valued at $15, according to the report.

Police are looking for three men who allegedly stole two generators from a Fremont hardware store, authorities said.
The three suspects walked out of Dale Hardware, located on the 37100 block of Post Street, without paying for the generators at about 4:30 p.m. on May 28, according to police. The generators are each valued at more than $1,000.
The men drove off in a waiting 1990s-era Chevrolet pickup truck, and were last seen driving east on Thornton Avenue, police said.
Police have released surveillance photos of the truck and of the suspects, all described as white men in their mid-20s. One of the suspects is approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a medium build and wearing an Oakland Athletics hat, black shirt, blue shorts and black-and-white shoes.
The second suspect is about 5 feet 10 inches tall, with a thin build and wearing sunglasses, a gray hat, a black shirt and possibly blue jeans. The third suspect stands about 5 feet 9 inches tall, with a heavy build and light facial hair. He was wearing a black and white shirt.
Police said the white, single-cab Chevy pickup truck is lowered, with a short bed, white rims and a trailer hitch attached to the bumper.
Anyone with information related to the burglary is asked to contact Detective Brian Ancona email@example.com, or call Fremont Police Department's investigative unit at (510) 790-6900.

Stephen LendmanMore About: Philosophy: Fascism
Bolivarianism v. Fake US Democracy
by Stephen Lendman
On October 7, Venezuelans go to the polls. Expect Chavez reelected again overwhelmingly. Expect the freest, most open and fair electoral process in the Americas. Perhaps it's the best anywhere.
On November 6, polls open in America. Voters have no choice. Democrats and Republicans barely differ. They're in lockstep on issues mattering most.
Ordinary people are entirely left out. They have no say. Voting for either major party assures same old same old. Money power runs things. Elections are for show. They're a facade. Venezuelans get the real thing.
Chavez expects pre and post-election mischief. Perhaps it began. In Barinas, one of 23 Venezuelan states, two supporters of opposition candidate Henrique Capriles were shot and killed. Another was wounded.
At issue is what's going on and who's to blame. Chavez supporters are nonviolent. They're not about to shoot anyone. Certainly not to enhance victory on October 7. Point fingers elsewhere. Cui bono matters most. It always does.
This type incident stokes tensions. Capriles condemned the killings. He wants them used to his advantage. Chavez urged calm, saying:
"It's not with violence that we're going to face each other. It's vote against vote. We will not permit the bourgeoisie to take Venezuela down the road to violence. And we should not resort to provocations."
He urged followers not to let them distract from real issues. That's what elections are about.
Justice Minister Tareck Al Aissami said one suspect was arrested. No name was given. Nothing else is known. Opposition candidate Pedro Castillo was close to the scene.
He said no physical confrontation preceded the killings. Nothing suggested this would happen. Smell a rat for good reason. Expect more provocations to follow.
Chavez promises deeper Bolivarianism if reelected. He means it. He'll follow through. Supporters believe him for good reason. He's given Venezuelans more than any former leader in modern times. He's not about to let them down now.
Voters aren't about to sacrifice what they most cherish. Americans can't imagine benefits Venezuelans get. Both countries are worlds apart socially, economically, politically, and constitutionally.
From inception, America has been largely unresponsive to majority needs. Enacted benefits came grudgingly. For decades they've been eroding en route to eliminating them altogether. Venezuela is mirror opposite.
National resources help everyone. America's go for militarism, imperial wars, banker bailouts, and other corporate handouts. Increasingly, ordinary people are on their own out of luck.
"We the people" are only the ones who matter. Constitutional law makes it so. American governance is autonomous, detached, in a realm of its own, and beholden solely to privilege.
Regardless of constitutional or statute laws, US governments are largely freelancing. Checks and balances are absent. Officials do what they please. Constraints don't obligate or bind them. Two-party rule conceals institutionalized money power dominance.
Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, promoting the general welfare, equity and justice are illusory now and from inception. Rhetoric conceals reality. It's always been that way.
Today it's worse than ever. Tyranny threatens. Anyone challenging institutionalized power is vulnerable. Presidents always flirted with dictatorial powers.
Since George Bush, flirtation ended. Obama exceeded his worst extremism. He heads America's version of murder incorporated. He placed himself atop a system deciding who lives or dies.
Earlier he institutionalized tyranny. He empowered himself to choose who's free or imprisoned. He appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner. Despotism is official US policy.
Diktat authority runs things. Moral or legal considerations don't matter. What he, and those behind the scenes pulling the strings, say goes. It's always been that way, but today more than ever.
The Constitutional law affirms it. Article II, Section 1 says:
"The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."
Article II, Section 3 adds:
"The President shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed."
Omitted was saying that presidents are virtually empowered to make laws as well as execute them even though nothing in the Constitution permits it.
For good or ill, executive power is concentrated, awesome and frightening. Presidents are military commanders-in-chief able to govern as virtual dictators.
They can make or terminate treaties on their own. The Senate only has advise and consent power. It doesn't ratify as commonly believed.
Presidents can grant commutations or pardons, except in cases of impeachment. They can also order assassinations or anyone they wish imprisoned for any reason or none at all.
They appoint officials, diplomats, and federal judges. They have a huge bureaucracy at their disposal. It covers all functions of government.
They can veto congressional legislation. Doing so nearly always is sustained.
They can make law by executive orders even though nothing in the Constitution permits it. Presidents are constrained only by their own discretion. Otherwise they can do what they please.
Since December 8, 1941, they've waged war on their own. Doing so violates the Constitution's Article I, Section 8. Congress alone has that power. For over seven decades, members surrendered it illegally.
It's pure myth that governance is constrained by limited powers. It's closer to one-man rule. It's practically impossible to impeach scoundrels. No president ever was removed this way.
John Adams was the most distinguished constitutional theorist of his time. He said it would take a national convulsion to remove a president by impeachment. He was right. It never happened.
Venezuela's system is mirror opposite. Its Bolivarian Constitution was approved by national referendum. Doing so followed an initial one on whether to convene a National Constituent Assembly to draft a new document.
That's how democracy is supposed to work. It's never been that way in America. It never will under its current system. Over time, it's gone from bad to worse.
Venezuelans approved a model participatory social democracy. It's not perfect, but it's the real thing. Ordinary people serve as ombudsmen to assure other government branches comply with constitutional provisions.
Everyone is automatically registered to vote from birth. It's constitutionally mandated. National standards apply.
In America, it's worlds different. States make their own laws. They decide who's enfranchised and who's not. Jim Crow lives. Minorities are lawlessly stricken from polls. So are others power brokers want removed.
In all areas of Venezuelan governance, reform remains a work in progress. In America, it's a four-letter word. It's doublespeak baloney to change things but leave them the same.
The spirit of Venezuela's Bolivarian Constitution is stated straightaway in its Preamble:
It's "to establish a democratic, participatory and self-reliant, multiethnic and multicultural society in a just, federal and decentralized State that embodies the values of freedom, independence, peace, solidarity, the common good, the nation's territorial integrity, comity and the rule of law for this and future generations."
It further "guarantees the right to life, work, learning, education, social justice and equality, without discrimination or subordination of any kind; promotes peaceful cooperation among nations and further strengthens Latin American integration in accordance with the principle of nonintervention and national self-determination of the people, the universal and indivisible guarantee of human rights, the democratization of imitational society, nuclear disarmament, ecological balance and environmental resources as the common and inalienable heritage of humanity;......"
Language like this in America is unimaginable in any form. In Venezuela, it's more than words. It's Chavez's commitment to all Venezuelans. It's embodied under nine Title headings and 350 Articles.
It's a first class democratic document. Venezuelans cherish it for good reason. It's little known in the West. Media scoundrels never discuss it.
America is worlds apart. Rule of law justice doesn't exist. Money power decides policy. Police state authority enforces it. Step out of line and taste its viciousness. Mercy isn't in its vocabulary. Nor is assuring right over wrong.
Government of, by, and for privileged elites is policy. So is permanent war. Civil and human rights are non-starters. Increasingly, dissent is criminalized. Fear is generated to check resistance.
Social decay is growing. A culture of violence prevails. Secrecy is intense and increasing. Injustice is tolerated. Media scoundrels operate as thought control gatekeepers.
American society is shameless, corrupted, dysfunctional, broken, and beyond repair.
Bolivarianism empowers Venezuelans. They freely, fairly, and openly choose presidents, legislators, and local officials in independently monitored elections. America's are farcical by comparison.
Chavez brought real change. US leaders prevent it. Institutionalized inequality is policy. So is harshness for non-believers.
Before Chavez was first elected, Venezuelan officials only paid lip service to basic rights and needs. Now they're constitutionally mandated. Universal healthcare, education, housing, employment, indigenous rights, subsidized essentials, and human dignity are enforced, funded and institutionalized.
Article 58 prohibits censorship. It mandates "timely, true, and impartial" information. These notions are verboten in America. Propaganda substitutes for truth and full disclosure.
As a result, most Americans are misinformed and out of touch. They know little about what matters most. They know what policy makers tell them. What they most need to know is suppressed.
Venezuelan law mandates participatory democracy. It's fundamental policy. It's unheard of in America. So is real democratic governance. Illusion substitutes for reality.
Americans are effectively disenfranchised. Venezuelans have people power. They get to decide how they're led and by whom.
On October 7, they'll choose. On November 6, Americans won't have that right. No wonder half the electorate opts out. Why bother voting under a system without choice.

Maculated Does Pine Mountain Pulldown

Can't Post
Well, it's only a couple weeks before this year's festivity and pimpin' the pulldown got me to thinking . . . after many years off real climbing because of a bad shoulder, I actually have a TR to post! And, in classic form - it's long and riddled with humor.
. . .
It had been over a year since Yishai came back from a trip to Pine Mountain bouncing around and announcing to everyone at the bouldering gym we manage his grand new idea for an event - what about a competition up there? Never having been there, I smiled wanly at him as he chirped: "It would be sick! The bouldering is SO good and the place is amazing - - this is going to be way better than the Phoenix Boulder Comp!" (He always thinks big.) The gears were turning and he was hard at work spreading his enthusiasm for the Great Outdoor
Bouldering Party (how I thought of it, though it would eventually to come to be known as the Pine Mountain Pulldown) to anyone who would listen.
Ring! "I got a band! You have to hear them!" he'd say as he hunted through his iPod.
Ring! "I got the Reel Rock Tour!"
Ring! "I just found the best staging venue EVER!"
Over time I had watched as things came together - through the highs and lows of the planning and permitting process, through the development of a sustainable event, all that work and the dream was
about to become a reality. It wasn't going to end up as big as the PBC (space, the environment, and the fact that largely, Yishai's events are a one-man show with help from volunteers tends to prohibit this),
but it was going to be fun.
True to his word, as I accompanied him down to Pine Mountain for scouting trips, meetings with the rangers, and other businesslike activities, Pine Mountain had turned out to be excitement worthy. My
4Runner grinned from rear view window to rear view window as I navigated the ruts and bumps of the half-paved mountain trail that led us to the top of the piney mountain dotted with beautiful sandstone
boulders ranging from black to tan to deep orange, aesthetic problems making themselves known with chalk highlighting. Feeling like I was part of a remote and special thing as we hiked around the hillside
looking at potential boulders for inclusion, I took a break at the top of one to watch the ocean lap the shore thousands of feet below me and fade off into the distance. I was only a few months post surgery for a torn labrum, but despite constant nagging from friend to "give it a rest" I found a simple problem and hiked myself up it, proud that I had made a return to my passion, even if it was only a V0 and I
couldn't commit to the top. Something about the place made me.
So here I was in a driveway housing firewood in a full campground (the ranger felt bad for us) just south of Pine Mountain on Labor Day weekend sitting on the tailgate of my truck marking route numbers and
beta by headlamp on little laminate cards a few days before the big show. That day we'd stopped by the Pine Mountain Inn to clean up the place (it was riddled with brush and shotgun shells, and the
campground needed some leveling) while the owner, retired biology professor Tom Wolf, sat outside the non-functioning bar on a picnic table handing cold drinks to the bikers riding along highway 33 as he
does every weekend.
The big day finally arrived, and I bustled around town trying to find dry ice for the beers, filling my car with sundry supplies, camping gear, and a very confused dog. My friends were all buzzing about the
weekend and chomping at the bit to get off work for the multi-hour drive down to the mountain. I wended my way through the hills and valleys wishing it was't the summer of endless fire so I could pull
over and finally get a clear photo of the views of the infinitely hilly central California landscape. The weekend ahead was going to be a challenge - pulling off something this big in such a remote space? I knew on my end it wasn't going to be all sweetness and light (I was in charge of the Pine Mountain Inn venue - I wasn't supposed to go up the
mountain at all during the weekend except for the clean up), but I was gifted with the kind of personality that welcomes a challenge and the
chance to be a leader.
When I got there on Friday evening, some of the sponsors had already arrived that I was supposed to assist in getting situated, but I busied myself with unloading the dry ice and supplies, as well as
hosting the volunteers who were mostly SLO Opers (the gym Yishai and I manage) with premium potato chips and cold beers.
And that's when problem one became apparent: the portapotties had not arrived. Once again, we're about an hour out from the nearest town (Ojai), with no phone reception. The only thing you can do in such a
situation is watch, wait, and pray. Luckily, the Pine Mountain Inn had one working toilet based off of a well. Well, rugged fun is the name of the game, right? These are climbers we're dealing with !
As the sky's brightness began to fade, the band rolled up - this band happens to be my next-door neighbors. When I moved in there and heard
them practicing, I moaned, "Oh no .. . a band!" but pretty much right away found myself humming along to some of my favorite songs, and let me tell you - living next to a band you actually like? Doesn't suck.
They unloaded their trailer and had a great attitude about playing off a generator under halogen spotlights on a stage made out of a cut-out tractor trailer. As we waited for guests to arrive and register, they danced along the stairway, shadowboxing to the music coming out of my iPod.
We tapped the kegs when my friends arrived with them after work, the band played a great show, and the competitors mostly went to bed early to get a jump on what was to be a long, hot, entertaining day.
As we woke up in the morning, the portapotties had still not arrived, and the buses Yishai had hired to take competitors up the mountain from Pine Mountain (thus saving the roads, the air, and such) were a bit late. We loaded up the first two busloads and as they set off on their journey, it became obvious that today was going to be an unseasonably warm one - yay for being stuck down at the venue thousands of feet lower and therefore hotter! The natives started to become restless when the buses didn't arrive on time, but I was without any kind of contact with the top of the mountain, and I just begged them to be patient.
And then I went to the bathroom.
Okay, folks. I know that when you go to a festival, you stop thinking about taking care of stuff and assume someone else is going to do it for you. But here's the thing - when the whole place has one toilet, and it's a little clogged, what do you do?
Well, apparently some participants just kept using it.
So as I walked in there and was greeted with a bone-dry toilet filled to the top with human fecal matter, I knew I was in trouble.
Technically, I don't work for Yishai. I just have a penchant for helping him out. I don't make money doing anything I do for him at events, but we're tight and it's good to help him. But how much do we
love our friends, really? Do we love them enough to do what needs to be done in this situation?
So I wander over to the registration table to talk to one of his paid employees. "So," I casually say, "there's a problem in the bathroom."
"Oh," he says.
"Yes," I say, trying to be calm and using my feminine whiles, "It's clogged."
"Oh, that sucks."
And this is where I think to myself, "Be a gentleman, don't make me do this." But he just smiles at me. So I go, "I guess someone's going to have to dig the poo out of there to make it work again."
Waiting. Hopefully.
He smiles, "Good luck with that!"
So I go find a plastic bag and a bucket, enter the bathroom, making sure to close the door (because telling you about it and actually being seen doing it are two totally different things), I stand there
trying to goad myself into it. "It's just like dog poo. You clean dog
poo up all the time. You can do this. You can!"
Dear reader, it is NOTHING like dog poo. Let no one ever tell you otherwise.
As soon I'm done with that business, the portapotties arrive. Of course.
As soon as that epic is resolved and I have the toilet working again,
I'm approached again. Fine, I say - let's get the 4Runner loaded up
with passengers and tie some crash pads to the top and see what's
holding up the buses.
And as we trundle up the mountain, it becomes very apparent - hungover
bus driver + steep grade = bus breakdown. AWESOME. The other bus
appears to be stuck behind him. I report this news to Yishai, who is
wondering what the holdup is, too, and head back down the road. In the
meantime, the working bus manages to get around our sick bus and
driver and picks up a new load, who I run into as I am driving back
down the narrow path.
Did I mention it's narrow? I do a quick calculation and decide that
pulling over as far to the right as I can is probably a good idea, to
let the bus past me. 4Runner hits the side, slides up the burm a bit,
and then ... tilts over and back. Woah. My eyes are big. I am pretty
sure I am only on three wheels. I put on the brakes, gingerly get out
of the truck and confirm this. Awesome. I look up back at the bus as
it works its way up the hill with sappy pleading eyes, when the brake
lights go on and suddenly climbers are pouring out of the bus to climb
on top of my truck and weight it down again. Yes, there are even
photos snapped. Crisis averted. It does turn out that 4Runners can tip
easily, nope, no sir, it's not a myth.
So I am not EXTRA CAREFULLY driving down the road again when I get to
the venue and it's time to go to Ojai to get more beer - the
competitors went through most of ours the first night. You have to
remember this is the first event of this type we've ever done, how
were we to know that climbers like beer - a lot. Wait, don't answer
that question. So, on the long drive to Ojai (and the entire time I am
scared of my truck flipping now), I'm wondering exactly how I'll find
a keg or three. Stop at Albertson's (a grocery store) -- no go. Stop
at a liquor store -- no go. Finally, on the fifth stop she shoots and
scores. I am now loaded up with three cold kegs of beer that will go
great with tonight's vegan and Mexican cuisine as provided by our
yet-to-arrive caterers. I pick up a hitchhiker on the way to a rainbow
gathering (look it up, it's worth it) to make the hour commute's time
pass and arrive in sytle. I get back to the venue and spend a couple
hours chilling in the blazing sun with reps from VooDoo, Mad Rock, and
Five Ten, listening to the playlist that's coming over the PA. Crisis
averted. Things are going to be okay. The buses start bringing back
Waitaminute . . . where are those caterers? They are HOURS late. In a
full panic, I grab my friend Derek and the SLO Op debit card and make
the executive decision that SLO Op (our bouldering gym) is going to
sponsor a donations-welcome BBQ tonight. We drive the two hours round
trip again to Albertsons to get meat, meat, and more meat, along with
veggie burgers and other such delicious food like items.
When we arrive back, there are arm-wrestling championships going on,
the slackline is up, and the beer has been tapped. It never ceases to
amaze me how stuff can seemingly go wrong during this stuff, and very
few people are the wiser. Derek fires up the grill, and food is
served. Everyone is now fat and happy and the dyno comp begins. I'm
able to relax a moment (except when I'm cooking pasta on a campstove
and walk away for a minute, allowing the table to catch fire in front
of many, many spectators) - and then I realize ... the second band
never arrived! AHHH! Though I doubt anyone except the people putting
on the event noticed.
We decide they're never coming and start the Reel Rock Tour video
showing. Everyone loves it - it's wonderful, and one of the stars,
Lisa Rands, is there watching it with us. By now it is late and while
some have dispersed after the games and film, many also stay to watch
SLO-based Fluid Luminescence do a fire show with hula hoops and poi
(wicks on chains). And then it's off to bed. The campground is
remarkably quiet when you consider it's full of bustling climber dudes
full of beer. I love it.
Up early in the morning, I'm making tanks of SLO Chai and pancakes for
the volunteer feed as everyone takes down their camp and says goodbye.
When breakfast is over, some of us head up the hill with spray bottles
and soft brushes to clean off the evidence of the past day's events.
The rangers come out to watch and have a chat with us, and as the last
stuff is packed up at the Inn, all I can think about is stopping off
at New Cuyama's general store for my customary coconut ice cream bar,
with Dolly Parton wailing on the stereo.
I've helped Yishai at his events for about five years, but you don't
understand the undertaking of such a thing until you've seen it from
behind the curtain. Happily, we know what didn't work (the maps), we
know what to ask for this year (caterers that know their way and a bus
company that promises their driver will be in full capacity), and --
of course -- more beer! I looked at photos friends posted on Facebook
of their experiences and the thought went through my mind . . . people
CLIMBED? From what I hear, that part was awesome.
Can't wait to see you all there again this year on September 11-13th!

And not a moment too soon.
Wait a minute, I just began a sentence with the word "and." (I am going straight to hell and probably forced to read "Twilight" until eternity ends...)

Sax, gotta get more climbing epics in before I have reports to make. :)
Thanks for the warm welcome back. I think the shoulder's at 100% these days, but spending all my time building a bouldering gym this summer's made the climbing outdoors fall by the wayside.

Find a good reason (or even a bad reason) to get back down south, and I'll take you to Laurel Knob! Maybe not an epic, but it'd make a good story. Or at least have another meal on me at the Five Seasons!
