For the first time, about 70 percent of a country has been mapped using an advanced remote sensing technique known as hyperspectral imaging. In order to assist Afghanistan in understanding their abundant natural resources, in particular the development of an economically viable minerals market, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Department of Defense Task Force for Business and Stability Operations led an effort to fully map Afghanistan with hyperspectral data.
Airborne hyperspectral sensors measure light reflected from the earth. The spectrum of the reflected light can be interpreted to identify the composition of materials at the surface, such as minerals, man-made materials, snow, and vegetation. These materials can be identified remotely due to their unique light spectra. In addition, these data allow large geographic areas to be mapped quickly and accurately, showing mineral resources, natural hazards, agricultural conditions and infrastructure development.
The project was funded by the Task Force for Business and Stability Operations, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the Afghan Government. The TFBSO is a Department of Defense organization that promotes stability and security in Afghanistan by developing growth of the private sector. The Task Force has been working closely with the Afghan Ministry of Mines to assist in identifying and tendering major mineral deposits to international mining companies.
"Hyperspectral sensors deployed from aircraft are the ideal tool for mapping the mineral provinces of a nation with rugged topographic relief and lack of substantial ground cover," said USGS Director Marcia McNutt. "When compared with conventional ground mapping, use of this technology has accelerated by decades the identification of the most promising areas for economic development in Afghanistan."
"This is a tremendous tool for the Afghan government for locating and identifying its myriad rich mineral deposits," said Jim Bullion, Director of TFBSO. "These maps clearly show the enormous size and variety of Afghanistan's mineral wealth and position the country to become a world leader in the minerals sector."
In developing the maps, more than 800 million pixels of data were generated. Over the course of 43 days and 28 flights, USGS flew nearly 23,000 miles (37,000 kilometers), collecting data that covered approximately 170,000 square miles (440,000 square kilometers).
The hyperspectral data collected in Afghanistan have already allowed USGS and the Afghan Geological Survey to identify several areas with a high potential for mineral formations. These data are being used by the Afghan Government to develop information packages to support mineral development in the country.
The hyperspectral coverage was unveiled at the Afghan Embassy in Washington, D.C., by USGS and the TFBSO on Tuesday, July 17, 2012.
The new hyperspectral maps of Afghanistan are available online. There are two maps:

Commenter Zyker loves his fighting games, but hates the Xbox 360 controller. He wants to know the weapon of choice of true fighting game fans, so we're asking you folks. Speak Up on Kotaku Round One, Fight!
I've been thinking about Skullgirls lately. This lead my thoughts to my old Guilty Gear love and my rage at the 360 controller for its sub-par performance in fighting games.
Now, here's my question... what do you guys use for playing fighting games? I've been contemplating getting a stick (but am very cheap and don't want to spend too much money on one), but really just want to hear people's thoughts on this.
About Speak Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run. That's why we have a forum on Kotaku called Speak Up. That's the place to post anecdotes, photos, game tips and hints, and anything you want to share with Kotaku at large. Every weekday we'll pull one of the best Speak Up posts we can find and highlight it here.

Glitch afflicts critical MS patch
Look before you leap
Microsoft has warned enterprises of glitches involving a security update issued last week. A patch designed to fix a flaw in Windows middleware components (MS05-051.mspx) creates system instability in environments with modified Access Control List (ACL) settings.
In a statement, Microsoft said it is "aware of reports of isolated issues after deployment with Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-051. We are working with a limited number of affected customers to help resolve these issues". It's unclear how many users are affected by the glitch. Problems arising from the update can range from leaving users unable to log on after the patch is applied to a blank screen after the update. But not applying the update leaves systems vulnerable to a critical security glitch that security firms warn is ripe for exploitation by an internet worm.
That leaves sys admins damned if they don't and (possibly) screwed if they do and in an unenviable position where extra testing would seem to be the only sensible approach. ®

That's not nit-picking. It's called "getting it right". I am surprised I hadn't picked that up; I remember the name well, now you've got it right. But we are still short of the exact date.
On a similar vein:
Rainer and Koen
You both have Art Bisch as having been killed on 4 July 1958.
I have it from another source as being 6 July 1958.
Now that I write it in this form, I realise that 4 July is a holiday in America, so that date is posibly correct. I had thought the 6th was more likely as that was a Sunday and the 4th was a Friday.
Both sources agree it happened during a race.
I wouldn't suggest altering your entry, but we should try to find a correct date for that Atlanta race.
I also just noticed that I have him listed elsewhere as "Art Birsch".
I will try to think of some way to check it all.

George Lawton killed at the Roskilde Ring in Denmark in 1960. He was the joint winner, with Denny Hulme, of the 1959 Driver to Europe Award and showed great promise before losing his life in the Copenhagen Grand Prix, which was run as a F2 race that year. I haven't been able to find the exact date but I know he finished fifth, behind Clark, Gurney, Bonnier and Graham Hill, in the Kentish 100 F2 race at Brands Hatch on the 27th of September.
Brian Faloon was killed at Pukekohe during the running of the 1972 New Zealand Grand Prix. The date was the 8th of January and he was driving a Rorstan-Porsche. He collided with Graeme Lawrence's Lola T300 on the back straight of Pukekohe.
John Woolf and his co-driver Grant Whittaker were killed when their Peugeot 504 Coupe collided head-on with a marshal's vehicle on the Chisum Trail Rally in Oklahoma. The accident occurred at the end of May 1982.
Brian Mabey and Gifford Tait were both killed while competing in races on Tahunanui Beach, which is at Nelson at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. Maybe's accident happened on December 31, 1960. He was driving a self-built single-seater called a BCM (his initials). It was front –engined and powered by a 2240cc six-cylinder Vauxhall Velox motor, which drove through a Mabey-built combined diff/gearbox.
Giff Tait died on December 30, 1967 when his Chrysler Valiant rolled several times. He was thrown from the car and, I believe, was killed instantly. One theory for the crash suggested that the automatic transmission would have selected low gear when the rear brakes locked going into the corner. This meant that the wheels would still be virtually stopped after the brakes were released.
John Mansell died when his Cooper T51-Maserati slid into a telegraph pole during the Dunedin Road Race. The race was held in very wet conditions on February 3, 1962 and Mansell joined the race many laps after it had started. He completed about ten laps before losing control and crashing side on into the pole. The car broke in half and the driver was thrown into some trees. He suffered head injuries which caused his death about nine or ten days later.
Brent Hawes, aged 30, died when his Begg-Chevrolet sports car crashed on April 20, 1969 at Ruapuna circuit in Christchurch. Hawes had a fear of being burnt in a race crash so did not wear a safety harness. He was thrown from the car when it left the circuit at high speed after its brakes failed.
Glen Hawkins was another to die when the car he was driving had brake failure. He was driving his Holden Commodore at Pukekohe on May 2, 1999 when the brakes failed at the end of the back straight. He crashed at high speed into a tyre barrier.
Posted 23 October 2000 - 10:26
The date was August 18, 1968.

Peter Dale? I think he used to import cars from Europe and sell them through Australian Motor Sports in the 1950s. Is that who you mean?
I never had anything to do with him. Perhaps I should have, but I can't talk to everyone.
Posted 23 October 2000 - 13:40
I can't vouch for the truth of this but, at the time Ward was killed, I was told by "someone who should know" that he had a sash-only belt (not a lap-only).
I thought it sounded strange at the time and said so. My informant (I can't remember who it was) said that, though it seemed weird, that is what he had.
Posted 23 October 2000 - 13:54
You might already have picked up this mistake yourself (I am working on a copy of your list, not from your web site).
You have (had) Ricardo Rodriguez as being killed at the Nurburgring, when of course it was Mexico City.
You also have the date as 2nd November whereas my list (and Koen's) have the date as 1st November 1962.

Paul Warwick died Jul 21, 1991 while leading Oulton Park F3000 race. Since that race was stopped after this accident and never restarted he was posthumously declared the winner.
Hitoshi Ogawa died May 24, 1992 in Suzuka F3000 race.

I didn't put John Ward on the list as I thought you had already added his name.
A few more for the list.
Bert Hawthorne was killed in the Jim Clark Memorial Trophy Race at Hockenheim on April 16, 1972. He was driving the F2 Tui-Hart BDA.
Keith McFadzien died at Teretonga on December 8,1968 when his Begg 1500, or Begg Formula Ford as I have seen it referred to, crashed during a practice run.
Les Moore, twice winner of the Lady Wigram Trophy driving what was reputed to be Nuvolari's 1935 German GP winning Alfa Romeo P3 Type B and father of three-times World Speedway Champion Ronnie Moore, died when he crashed a locally-built single-seater called the RA-Vanguard. I haven't been able to confirm the date or location. I have two dates 1962 and October 1960 and two locations; Timaru and near Timaru.
I am still working on two others. A Formula Vee driver named Alexander Elvey(?) who died at Bay Park and a rally driver named Batt who drowned when his car went into a water reservoir somewhere in the South Island.

I witnessed Paul Warwick's crash first hand. The car hit the bank about 5 metres to my right. Dreadful. Quite the worst thing I have ever seen in 43 years of watching racing cars.
Posted 24 October 2000 - 09:54
As I remember the accident it was Lawrence's Lola that hit the train. Faloon's car hit an earth bank.
Also the train would not have been speeding. In those days there were no advertising hoardings along the back straight at Pukekohe and the train drivers on the main trunk line between Auckland and Wellington always used to slow right down so they could watch the action on the adjacent track. And I mean really slow down. They would crawl the length of the straight before continuing their journey.

He actually died on Friday during practice for the Jim Clark Trophy Race. That would make the correct date April 14, 1972.
I've dug out the Motoring News report on the race written by Alan Henry and it adds more info. Hawthorne was circulating in tandem with Bernd Terbeck and both went missing at the same time.
An agitated Niki Lauda called into the pits two laps later to ask why nothing was apparently being done about a car on fire out on the circuit. It was only then that a fire tender and ambulance were sent to the scene.
Henry's explanation of the accident was that Hawthorne's Tui slowed leaving the fast chicane on the outward leg and Terbeck could not avoid hitting him. Hawthorne was pitched into the barriers at tremendous speed and the nose of the Tui jammed between the two rails and slid along for some distance, pulling out the securing uprights, before coming to rest on fire.
He concludes that though the car burnt slowly for quite a long time it was subsequently confirmed that poor Hawthorne succumbed immediately to serious head injuries.

(They could all have copied from the same incorrect source, of course...)
There always has been confusion over whether is first name was Ludovico or Lodovico. Does anyone know the correct version?
Also, was he related to the man of the same name who was one of the original partners in FIAT, with Agnelli?

You are right, I have absorbed information from your list and from Koen's into mine and I have been confusing them.
In future, when I find errors, I will just note them here without trying to suggest whose list has the error.
But we should try to get all the lists right, because we never know where the information might go - and we don't want to be responsible for distorting history, do we?

2. McLaren M16C/D (Johnny Rutherford in 1974)
3. McLaren M16E (Rutherford in 1976)
Ludovico (not Lodovico, I've seen a pic with his name on the overall) Scarfiotti died at the "Internationaler Alpen-Bergpreis Berchtesgaden" at the Roßfeld-Höhenring-Straße close to Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, Germany. It was the second practice run on June 8 in 1968, and his teammate Rolf Stommelen had just survived a horrific accident at km 3.2 of the 5.76 km hillclimb. Scarfiotti had started his run a minute after Stommelen's and left the road at km 2.4, tumbling down the hill and being thrown out of his Porsche which came to a rest 15 or 50 feet (depending on which report you do believe) below road level. The Italian tumbled down a further 120 (?) feet and officially died on the way to the hospital though the general consensus was that he died on impact.

Posted 29 October 2000 - 10:40
Ogawa died at Suzuka, I've checked it in a contemporary magazine. The only race at Monza that weekend was for Historic Touring Cars, Sports Cars ran at Monza four weeks earlier and that race was actually won by Ogawa!
After finishing fifth at the next Sports Car race at Silverstone on May 10 Ogawa then took over Rickard Rydell's Lola in the Cerumo team for this race. Approaching Turn 1 on lap 27 he clipped a rear wheel of Andrew Gilbert-Scott's Lola and took off over the run-off area into a hoarding. The car was completely destroyed and Ogawa died on the way to the hospital from his severe head and leg injuries. Several photographers and a camera man were also injured.
The reason why I grouped this with the Warwick and Albers tragedies is because from memory these were the only recent accidents where deceased drivers still classified as finishers in a race, Ogawa e.g. still taking two championships points after the race was stopped and not restarted!
Posted 29 October 2000 - 12:12
I didn´t even check the magazines from the period, i was so sure of the fact...
Seems that one single picture from a magazine locked my memory...
It was in fact a tribute-picture to Ogawa seen at Monza or the following race...
I could check it in the Endurance Racing 1982-91 of course but I have loads of Autosports from the period so I should have double-checked.
I am sorry to all involved, forgive me for this blatant mistake...
I will do a better job next time out...and I will now have a big chunk of that humble pie....
Posted 29 October 2000 - 13:02
That is why it pays to have someone else check your work - or check your own at a much later date.
Checking your own work immediately after you wrote it, you often don't recognise slips like this.

Brilliant item! Was looking for a good nostalgic piece for my brother and this is perfect!
Really pleased with what I order, good article, quick delivery and my item has been packed well to try and prevent damage. Thankyou!
Great electrical appliance - should definitely be considered as a Christmas present!
Great christmas present but disappointing that a few days later it had gone down in price.
This is great for making homemade frozen daiquiris! A great investment!
This is without doubt the best piece of Electrical equipment that I have bought in a long time. Easy to use and great fun to drink, kids love it and adults want one.
The kids loved this Retro Slushie Beverage Station. It made very good slushies for them, and very good frozen cocktails for us.
Bought this Retro Slushie Beverage Station as a present for my boyfriend who loves the original slush puppy, we used it and it was fabulous. The only reason I have rated it a 4 star is because it's very noisy and does seem to take a while to get a full cup of slush however I would still recommend this product as I can see it being well used in the summer.
I bought the Retro Slushie Beverage Station as a gift for my little sister for Christmas as she loves slush puppies, so this is going to be a big hit. Thank you.
Great product, easy to use. Would recommend to a friend.

A woman who was assaulted as she intervened to stop an attack has been blinded in one eye.
Just before midnight on Saturday April 9, a 25-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman left the Goose Green Club, Little Lane, Wigan. On leaving the club the couple turned to walk in the direction of Billinge Road, where they saw that a man was being assaulted by two other men.
The 25-year-old man walked towards the ongoing assault and shouted at the attackers to stop. The two men then turned their attention towards him and started punching him as he tried to protect himself.
The woman then started shouting at the attackers; one of them punched her in the face, hitting her hard enough that she fell to the floor.
The two men then took off in the direction of the club. The other male victim who was initially being assaulted also took off.
The woman's eye had closed and immediately began to swell. Her partner suffered bruises and a cut to his right hand.
The couple later attended hospital where the woman underwent surgery on her left eye. As a result of this assault she has now permanently lost sight in her left eye.
The first attacker is described as a 20/30-year-old man with a peculiar haircut, side shaved and middle left long. He was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans.
The second attacker is described as a 20/30-year-old man.
Detective Constable Brian Johnston from GMP's Wigan division said: "This couple are completely innocent and it is heart-breaking that as a result of them simply trying to help someone else in distress, this woman has now been left with life changing injuries and is blind in one eye.
"If you were the man being assaulted by these two men, then please get in touch with the police, as you may be able to help us identify these two offenders so we can take these men off our streets."
Anyone with information should call police on 0161 856 7182 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

I'm sure you all know this guy. It's the guy responsible for making three very special little girls we know as 'The Powerpuff Girls'. Today we will be learning "how to draw Professor Utonium", step by step. The girls call him Professor, and refer to him as "The Professor". He is a super smart scientist that added a combination of sugar, spice, and Chemical X to get the three very different girls we love. We all know that it was supposed to be 'everything nice', but somehow the toxic chemical went in instead. That's okay because now the city of Townsville has three superheroes that come when needed after they are called by 'The Mayor. Have fun drawing Professor Utonium folks. Remember, there is still more tuts on the way so, stick around.

You may not have seen them, but if you have been in the City this week, you've probably heard them as the Blue Angels began practicing their air show maneuvers in San Francisco.
Crowds gathered at Marina Green to watch the five F18 jets all around the Golden Gate Bridge and the city skyline on Thursday and Friday.
Visit Our Special Feature Page Here
NBC Bay Area spoke with the commanding officer and formation leader of the 2012 Blue Angels, Captain Greg McWherter. "We demonstrate two things: first the precision formation techniques taught to all Marine Corps and Navy aviators. Then we also demonstrate maximum performance capability of our frontline fighter, the F-18 Hornet."
Captain McWherter says even after 22 years of being a pilot with the military, the adrenaline still pumps before every flight. "We do get nervous. We get nervous before every flight but it's not a fear. It's like before a big test or big game. You've done so much, so much training goes into each demonstration that we want to do well. We want to have the perfect demo."
This is also the first year for the Air Force's F-22 Raptors. Major Henry Schantz has been with the Air Force for 13 years.
He's proud of the Raptor's capabilities. "We're made to fly high and fly fast, pull a lot, turn the corner, and be places people hopefully don't know we're there till it's too late," said Schantz.
As many Bay Area residents know, the practice flights are sometimes heard before they are seen.
While the noise can be scary to humans, it is terrifying to many animals. "On a weekend like this, Fleet Week, we advise people to keep animals indoors," San Francisco SPCA spokeswoman Krista Maloney said.
The air show is expected to bring more than a million people to the shores of the San Francisco Bay. It is one of several big events in the city that include post-season baseball at AT&T Park, a blue grass music festival at Golden Gate Park and a 49ers game at Candlestick.
The weather could be a problem for any and all of the above events. Click here for that part of the story.

Courtney Force, Langdon, Nobile Score Victories
Shawn Langdon (Top Fuel) and Vincent Nobile (Pro Stock) also were winners at the first of 24 events in the 2013 Mello Yello Drag Racing Series.
Force powered her Traxxas Ford Mustang past NAPA Auto Parts Dodge Charger driver Ron Capps with a pass of 4.025 seconds at 317.12 mph to earn her second career victory.
"It was definitely unbelievable," Force said. "My team, (crew chiefs) Ron Douglas and Dan Hood, thanks to them, they had given me great race car all weekend long. I just try to keep it straight down the center and they really made my job easy. I really owe it to those guys. It was kind of bittersweet finishing here (at the NHRA Finals in November) and not getting that win, then coming back and picking up where we left off and finishing our job. We got the win and I'm just proud of my team."
In Top Fuel, Langdon drove his Al-Anabi Racing dragster to the win with his pass of 3.721 at 322.27, defeating seven-time champion Tony Schumacher and the U.S. Army team. In front of a hometown crowd, Langdon said the second victory is so much sweeter than the first.
"It all happened so fast. The car felt really good and then just past 800 feet, the car went boom. The backend whipped around and next thing I know the car was sliding on its side. I was just along for the ride. By the time I got stopped, the NHRA Safety Safari crew was there. I'm really grateful to them. I'm feeling good – just a little soreness in my back and a little bit of a headache and a couple brushes on my knees. Just bumps and bruises - I'll be fine in a few days and be back and ready for Phoenix next week."

Marijuana regulations, taxes advance in Colorado
DENVER — A series of marijuana regulations and taxes have advanced in the Colorado House.
A regulation measure setting rules for how the newly legal drug can be grown, packaged and sold won final approval in the House Monday on a vote of 35-29. All Republicans voted against it, saying they wanted to see stricter regulations on the pot industry. The regulation bill now heads to the Senate.
A separate bill to set up pot taxes won initial approval but requires one more vote in the House. The tax measure subjects recreational pot to 25 percent taxes from the state. That includes a 15 percent excise tax, with most of the money headed to school construction. The 10 percent marijuana sales tax is in addition to regular statewide 2.9 percent sales taxes.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.

David Schwimmer is about to make all your '90s sitcom dreams come true!
Ross Gellar Schwimmer will be making a five episode appearance on Will & Grace for the revival's 10th season, TV Guide has learned. More importantly -- he'll be playing Grace's (Debra Messing) new love interest. Though Grace had a smattering of romantic subplots in Season 9 -- including a run-in with her ex-husband Leo (Harry Connick Jr.), she hasn't found herself in any kind of longterm relationship yet, so Schwimmer's addition will be a nice change, even if it's just for five episodes.
NBC was stingy with the details about his character or how he'll enter the story. The writers are still in the process of writing Season 10 episodes. Even the germ of news is exciting though because this will be Schwimmer's first big return to network comedy since Friends ended its 10-season run back in 2004.
While the former sitcom star has been busy behind the scenes as a director and producer -- and most recently appeared in the critically acclaimed The People vs O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story -- it's been 14 years since he's hung out on broadcast TV.
Schwimmer joins a pretty high-profile list of guest stars for Will & Grace Season 10, including Chelsea Handler and the returning Mary McCormack and Alec Baldwin.
Will & Grace returns Thursday Oct. 4 at 9/8c on NBC.David Schwimmer, Friends" data-image-credit="David Hume Kennerly, Getty Images" data-image-alt-text="David Schwimmer, Friends�" data-image-credit-url="" data-image-target-url="" data-image-title="David Schwimmer, Friends�" data-image-filename="180808-friends-david-schwimmer.jpg" data-image-date-created="2018/08/08" data-image-crop="" data-image-crop-gravity="" data-image-aspect-ratio="" data-image-height="1380" data-image-width="2070" data-image-do-not-crop="" data-image-do-not-resize="" data-image-watermark="" data-lightbox="">

I love this story its one of my favorite nows, ^^
I hope everyone else likes it too
and hope to see much more
i like it too!! is it connected to princess princess in anyway besides having the mangaka?
yeah, the two series are in the same "world," as in they have some of the same characters_________________Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
AHH~ I love it too With that plot and those characters, there's so much the author could do with that. I'm wondering when the new releases are coming out -maniac glint appears in right eye-
I love this series too ^^
please continue to translate this series
Chapter 4 is during editing phase right now.
Also, if we drop a project we're sure to announce it first... so just be patient. Family Complex is pretty hard to edit._________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
Family Complex has SO much potential I can't wait for the next chapters! Hilarious fun
ahh, I can't see the link to download this story. I want to read it so much.
Please How can I get Family Complex scanlation?
I am so sorry for asking such an obvious question.
I would also like to know if there is still a link somewhere to read this. I can't afford to buy it right now (even though I really want to!), so I'd like to dowload it. Please if there is still a link could someone direct me to it?
The reason why you can't download any chapters from Family Complex is because it was licensed (notice the * after the title in the project site) and accordng to our standing policy we don't host any project that got licensed. You get them via IRC though, so if you really want them learn how to use IRC which really isn't a very hard thing._________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
i try to use irc it does not work right
so can someone upload this manga on here through a different website._________________rakka estrada
@rakka981: Please don't even ask for someone to host it because it's against our hosting policy; that is we do not allow outside hosting whether it's on Livejounal, in forums or individual websites. We host all our licensed projects and there is a reason why licensed projects are only available through IRC. IRC should work for you, "does not work right" doesn't tell me anything.

land in Florida
You know the rest. Your neighbor knows the rest. Well meaning folks considering of their future knows the rest. But still each month someone buys a parcel of Florida land from an online auction site or from reading an artfully worded newspaper ad. Willingly, they send off a check mark to a individual they have never met, for a part of Florida they've got never seen. You will want to? The Florida real estate market is hot today isn't it? Once they have a title policy they are safe, right?
Land in Texas
Yes, the Florida housing market is definitely "hot". Florida homes and land sales are increasing at record breaking paces. With that being said, if you are making a deal over a property that appears to be the offer in the century and also you know Florida real estate property prices are climbing tremendous, then there must be bells, whistles and crimson colored flags waving and sounding off wildly.
Why parcel of Florida land so cheap? There has to be a reason and also you want to make a diligent effort to learn why. Contact the neighborhood Florida realtor expert. Check out area online. Ask questions, a lot of questions. In case you are afraid this is really "your ship coming in" and also you need to act fast or miss it, then please, please, please make sure your "offer to purchase" gives you the opportunity perform a feasibility study, that is allowable. An effective survey, perk test, well analysis, zoning and/or county/city building requirements check are very important things to review and think about before closing. The owner ought to be prepared to enable you some time to check out this information. Should they be not, don't proceed.
Truth be told, a number of the Florida land to be had for sale is inaccessible or wet or both. In orlando alone there are many "paper road" subdivisions (roads which have never been constructed, just appearing with a map or plat) with lots being offered available. Some useless residence is being purchased at its real value then sold for the unknowing individual on an inflated price, sometimes several 1000s of dollars over its real value.
And so the the next time the thing is some Florida on offer available and described as "near the stunning sunny beaches, big views, potential developed" along with the price seems too good to be true.....

Replies from friends, all prolific winter climbers and alpinists (related to my gloves post):
Yeah, gloves are always the crux. My usual system is two pairs of relatively close fitting "leader" gloves, and one pair of super warm arctic gloves. I haven't brought mittens on the last couple big alpine routes I've done. Removable liners are a plus, but right now my favorite tech glove is the Fulcrum. It's Ueli's [Steck] design, and they are rad for dexterous mixed climbing.
MH actually has a really good glove line at the moment, and we are just beginning to use a new fabric technology called Outdry, which is pretty damn sweet. But all that aside, there's also the virtues of work gloves – I have summited Denali wearing Kinco insulated gloves that cost 9 dollars, and also Ironclad gloves are on par with the best technical mixed gloves available, and at 28 dollars, a steal.
I often bring only one pair of gloves on route, often two pairs, but never more than two.
I used to climb with gloves that have a removable liner, since they dry faster, but I have stopped doing this. The gloves that are completely sewn together are more dexterous for the same amount of warmth than gloves that have removable liners.
I still put my gloves in my sleeping bag at the bivy. The don't dry out, but at least when you put them back on they are warm and wet rather than frozen! They'd get wet and warm in a few pitches anyways…
-BD Impulse (warm weather)
-BD Punisher (cold weather)
The are two things to get right when using gloves. The first is to realize that your hands will only be as warm as your core in the long run. Having warm hands is far more about managing your core temperature and sweat levels than the actual glove. I will XC ski at -20 without gloves when putting off a lot of energy–your hands are warm if your core is warm, even in very cold temperatures. If you can figure out how to keep your core temperature well regulated then you're off to a very good start with keeping your hands warm.
The second important concept is that wet gloves are COLD, no matter what the marketing BS claims. Most people who get cold hands go and buy a pair of "fat" gloves ("rated to -20!!!"), and their hands get cold 'cause the fat glove gets sweaty inside and is then cold. So they go buy a "warmer" glove (rated to -2000!), which they then sweat inside, get cold, repeat. Imagine trying to hike and climb in a down jacket; you'd sweat to death and freeze. Yet this is what people try to do with their hands all the time, it makes zero fucking sense. Multiple pairs of light, DRY gloves will be far warmer, lighter and functional than one pair of "warm" fat gloves in the vast majority of conditions. Guaranteed. I like Windstopper gloves.
I run the three or more pairs of light Windstopper gloves "system" even on 24-hour pushes. Just put the latest wet pair into your jacket, they will dry, repeat as necessary. I'll use up to five pairs if I expect to get wet a fair amount. If it's really, really cold or I'm going to be digging snow caves or tunneling through cornices or some other alpine gong show I'll bring a pair of light shelled gloves and multiple liners for the one shell. Dry liners as needed, smack the shells on a rock to get rid of condensation or exterior freezing ('cause it's cold, everything wet freezes right away), works well. If you use fat warm gloves then the insulation/fabric inside the glove gets wet, can't freeze and you can't smash the frozen moisture off, cold hands result.
Special Situations:
If it's psycho cold I just use mittens with very thin gloves on my hands inside the big bulky mitt shell and mitt liner. Pull your hand out, deal, mitt back on at camp or belay or whatever. Multiple pairs of Windstopper gloves the rest of the time – if your core is warm your hands are warm if you have dry gloves on. Strangely, the colder it gets the less glove you need as there is less moisture around…
Sometimes if it's moderately cold I'll bring a pair of fluffy, light, "waterproof" gloves on the back of my harness and belay with them. I'll dry my hands before I put the gloves on, and resist the temptation to climb in them because the insides will be wet and they won't work…
If I'm climbing in Norway or someplace where it's often very, very wet, then I'll use the thinnest, most flexible Gore-Tex gloves I can find, and change the liners out regularly. In those conditions you're more going with the approach that you're going to get completely soaked and just live with it. I've considered wearing a drysuit on some routes in these conditions; it's debatable if climbing slush with water running on top is worth the effort.
When I teach my ice clinics I'll often spend an hour of the day working with people on gloves; nothing kills the buzz of winter climbing faster than cold hands. I can honestly say that in the last five years of winter climbing I've had cold hands one or two times at most.
I spent a lot of years with cold hands before figuring out the above; some people seem to radiate heat from their hands and feet, I'm not one of 'em.
Shit, a novel just came out of my fingers…
As far as gloves go I may be the wrong person to ask because I have the warm gene. My system is simple: I bring two to three pair based on temps and moisture (AK three pair, Nepal two). I always have my lead pair, which I prefer the gauntlet-style Fulcrum XT [not currently made, but the Fulcrum XT, with the addition of the OutDry membrane, is what's now called the Hydra] from Mountain Hardwear. They are not super warm but fit right they have great dexterity and protection. I may carry a "mixed" glove for "the business," which I use the goat skin/softshell combo glove called the Torsion from Hardwear. But the kit is not complete with out the BD Guide glove for ultimate warmth. I always carry a tube of Nikwax to base camp and grease up all the gloves before the climb. Regular grease helps the leather stay dry and nibble. I wear the lead glove for leading only and switch at the belay and put them in my parka and put the warm ones on for belaying and following if its cold. That is the ideal for me, but on the super frosty north face of Kangtega I dropped one of my Guide gloves on the second pitch and my hands were ok.
The overall key to hand success is not always the gloves, though. I think the key is actively warming them. Diligence while climbing is more important. Taking the time to swing your hands to warm them before they get too cold is way faster then recovering from the screaming barfies [to those unfamiliar, the screaming barfies are the horrible cycle of your fingers freezing and then re-warming; as blood returns, you feel like screaming and puking at the same time]. Hydration and calories help the hands as well as you know. The best thing is rock climbing in the sun for warm hands!
Gloves? Here are some thoughts in no particular order.
Bring lots of pairs: one for the approach, a few for the climbing, possibly a pair of belay mitts.
Not a big fan of purpose-made ice climbing gloves: waterproofness means sweating, and padding means poor dexterity. I prefer softer ski-style gloves. I like some of the Schoeller models I have been using.
For multi-day routes have some gloves with removable liners, at least that way you can get them somewhat dry at night. But you should still bring enough gloves to have some dry ones in reserve. Yes, it sounds excessive, but I just do not think one pair can cut it on a long route.
At belays stick the climbing gloves deep inside your clothes so they do not freeze, and break out the belay mitts. A simpler system that also works is to slip a pair of overmitts over climbing gloves at belays.
[Note: I couldn't help but leave-in the opening part; Duncan is the master, and around my home of Rocky Mountain National Park we have a saying for when you come across some incredible, fleeting smear of ice: Duncan probably did it 20 years ago. He knows more about the nuances of chasing thin ice and mixed climbs in the Park than anyone, and our discussions on performance clothing (he runs Patagonia's field testing program) regularly interweave with "what's going on in the Park?"]
Before we get started – the wall to the right of Necrophelia has given me some very nice pitches early season with the right conditions – the flakes seem to hold some ice and some bits of smears between makes it worth a look. Also, the very best conditions I EVER found on Necro was a time that Malcolm and I got up there in early season and it was, from below, dry as a bone…we hiked up to the base for the exercise and then decided to give it a roll – it was perfect – all the ice that was had settled on top of the holds and in cracks where you couldn't see it from below – but yielded brilliant climbing. We laughed about that all the way home. It turned my head around to how things look compared to how much ice there is – when you rap off or look down from a belay in those conditions you see exactly – there's plenty of ice – you just can't see it from below.
This opened the way to some beauties on the left side of that wall on Meeker, the above-mentioned right of Necro, and some stuff to the left of the Hourglass.
How does Stettner's look?
OK lad, let's dive in.
Gloves are THE crux for technical climbing – dexterity and feel in difficult climbing is paramount for me. I think we all come to this – in the winter you have to balance connection and feel with warmth and protection…and these are mutually exclusive, a compromise from either direction. We are tactile animals – we sense so much thru the skin organ – unfortunately we also get cold…
I disagree about soft shell gloves [I had suggested that the lack of muscle mass in your hands means not enough outward-driving heat to keep them dry without a w/b barrier] – let's be sure we are on the same page here with soft shell tho – if you are talking Schoeller type fabrics then the dry time is a compromise from the beginning, but pile and a quick drying shell?…mo'betta … Hands dump heat (watch pro bike racers doff and don gloves during races – it's a really effective body temp control point that Walker turned me onto) and therefore can dry gloves (and soft shell fabrics dry faster by nature) – it's a bit slower as the air circ is not as good as a shell jkt – but it does work – but this is my segue into what I feel is the crux: FIT AND FLEXIBILITY.
Blood circulation and lack of tension when closing the hand around a hold or tool or rope is THE singular most important factor for me. You just don't want to restrict blood flow – and muscular tension does this as does a restrictive fit. I have found that using lighter and more flexible gloves has given me better warmth than heavier, bulkier, "warmer" gloves. And I must repeat that I can't deal with gloves that take effort to close your hand.
And, of course sensitivity to task comes in here too – so the lighter materials, and shaping that encourages control and sensitivity plays a big part…but they all do go together…if you don't have to force muscle tension to crimp a hold or to hold a tool or fiddle a cam into an icy crack, you have just allowed that much more warm blood to flow into your fingers, let alone helping those of us whose bionic forearms are but a distant memory – you save strength.
Palm fabrics come into it too – needs to be just sticky enough to hang naturally and feel the rock naturally – some fabrics work but aren't durable, others are durable but don't "work" – leather still seems king for a lot of applications, despite its drawbacks.
You with me?
So I would tend to favor DAS-style [DAS Parka/belay parka concept, where you dress light for movement and pull on the warm puffy when you stop] – a light soft shell glove with an overmitt for the belays and rappels and wallowing sections – take 2 sets of gloves and keep one against my skin in my chest and rotate as needed.
For shorter routes I was in love with my goat-skin calf-roping gloves fit over some expedition weight liners – not really soft shell but the dexterity and feel made them way warmer than they should have been. Another favorite for colder conditions was an "infurno" glove – soft shell with pile liner that we did a while back – terrible pattern but great fabrics. Or the Stretch Element style shell glove – but almost always over a lighter, softer liner so that there was little if any resistance to closing my hand.
Best available technology does not allow waterproof, warm and dexterous. A wpb bladder is the worst offender of all – another slippery layer between you and the task at hand adds bulk and slip/slide. I cut mine out as soon as I get them. Taping of shells hasn't been practical due to the tight angles that gloves force the taping machines to work with and the size of the tape creates, again, more stiffness and bulk. Micro application of seam grip is the closest solution to a waterproof shell – but it's not very durable, adds its own level of bulk, and is difficult to apply (seam grip doesn't want to stick to DWR treated shells or oiled leather).
Having said that, Matteo Morlacchi at Nextec/OutDry gloves has got some really good things going – he is taking a very lightweight wpb bladder and basically gluing it (with an inflatable mandril) to the inside of the glove shell in such a way that it just becomes another thin bonded layer of the shell – testing has been excellent. They are designed to be put between shell and lining in a sewn shut glove, though we have been testing with removable liners – mixed success – but good enough for Chabot to call and tell me he wasn't going to test them anymore because he was going to save them for his next trip. Max and Colin went thru some on the Ogre – but they weren't being very careful. I have a pair here that I am sending you – might be interesting to you – our fishing glove, so close fitting and flexible – anyway you can find some liners for them and have at them – at least it will let you see how close the world is to really useable/wearable wp gloves.
But my feeling is that in most situations the WP part of WPB is not as important in gloves as the marketing gods make it out to be.

Set Your Tivos: 01.30.09Posted by nvr1983 on January 30th, 2009
There isn't any game that really stands out as being head and shoulders above the rest so I won't have a game of the day per se, but there are quite a few good games worth watching.
#22 Notre Dame at # 3 Pittsburgh at Noon on ESPN and ESPN360.com: This should be an interesting game with Pittsburgh coming off a 10-point loss at Villanova and Notre Dame coming in having lost 4 in a row including back-to-back losses at home after coming in with a nation-leading 45-game home winning streak. The big match-up here is obviously Luke Harangody versus DaJuan Blair on the inside. I'm thinking Pitt should win this game relatively easily in the second half. If Mike Brey wants to have a chance to steal one on the road and get back into the Big East race, he will need Kyle McAlarney to regain his touch from the outside.
Michigan at #17 Purdue at 1 PM on CBS: It is amazing that just 2 months ago, the Wolverines were the talk of college basketball having knocked off UCLA and Duke. Now, they are 4-5 in the Big Ten and look like they might not make the NCAA Tournament. Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims will need to have a big game if they want to steal one against Robbie Hummel, E'Twaun Moore, and the Boilermakers who come in having won 5 straight in the Big Ten after dropping their first two games in conference.
#23 Georgetown at #8 Marquette at 2 PM on ESPN Full Court and ESPN360.com: I'm not sure what to say about Georgetown. They are undoubtably one of the most talented teams in the country, but they have played themselves out of the top 25 in the past 2 weeks. On the other sideline, after their big win on Monday night at Notre Dame, the Golden Eagles will have a chance to move into the top 5 with a win over a Hoya team that is falling apart right now. The Hoyas have lost 4 (?) straight games and DaJuan Summers, their leading scorer, was injured in their last loss. John Thompson III will need a big game out of Greg Monroe, Austin Freeman, and Summers (presumably healthy) to snap the Hoyas out of their skid. However, if Buzz Williams can get a solid game out of Jerel McNeal and Wesley Matthews the Golden Eagles should be able to pull off the win.
Stanford at # 16 UCLA at 3:30 PM on ABC, ESPN Full Court, and ESPN360.com: I don't think this one is of particular interest especially with the way Stanford has played so far in the Pac-10, but I think it should be worth watching for our East Coast readers who don't stay up past midnight to watch some of the mediocre teams out West play.
Providence at #2 Connecticut at 4 PM on ESPN Full Court and ESPN360.com: Assuming UConn wins this, they will be your new #1 team on Monday. Keep an eye on this one because Providence has been playing well lately including a victory over a depleted Syracuse team on Wednesday night.
Washington at #14 Arizona State at 5:30 PM on FSN: Ok. I took my requisite West Coast shot earlier when discussing the Stanford-UCLA game, but this one is acutally worth watching. I'm still unsure why Washington wasn't in this week's top 25 after knocking off USC and UCLA last week, but maybe the voters knew something as the Huskies followed up those 2 big wins with a loss on the road at Arizona. The Sun Devils will be looking to bounce from a shocking loss at home against Washington State on Thursday night. I'll be watching the match-up of the star guards in this one: Isaiah Thomas for Washington and James Harden for Arizona State

The Powerball jackpot jumped to $550 million on Thursday — the third largest lottery in history — as dreamers in all but the seven states where the game isn't played snatched up tickets for the minuscule chance at a life on easy street.
The Powerball jackpot jumped to $550 million on Thursday — the third largest lottery in history — as dreamers in all but the seven states where the game isn't played snatched up tickets for the minuscule chance at a life on easy street.
Thursday's announcement by the Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association means ticket sales have soared since Wednesday night's drawing for an estimated $360 million jackpot, in which no one picked all six numbers correctly.
Sales jumped by $260 million in the days before November's biggest Powerball jackpot win in history — a prize of $587.5 million. And Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer said it's possible that Saturday's could end up eclipsing that amount.
A $550 million jackpot would be the second largest in Powerball history and the third largest for any lottery.
Lottery officials expect jackpot totals of this size to continue to climb in shorter amounts of time, thanks in part to a game redesign in January 2012 that increased the odds of winning some kind of prize, but also lowered the possible number combinations to win the Powerball.
There's also "cross-selling" of Powerball and Mega Millions tickets — states being able to sell both Powerball tickets and Mega Millions tickets — that began in January 2010. As a result, large jackpots will continue to surpass all-time jackpot records set years ago, said Neubauer.
"It usually took a handful of months, if not several months, for a jackpot to reach this large amount," she said. "Now it's achieving that within a handful of weeks. I think the redesign is achieving exactly what we had wanted it to achieve, which is the bigger, faster-growing jackpot."
The redesign means players don't necessarily have to strike big to get lucky. A $1 increase and new $1 million and $2 million prizes means the odds of winning something have increased. On Wednesday, $1 million prizes were won in 16 states, and $2 million prizes were won in two states.
In fact, more than half of the all-time jackpot records have been reached in the last three years. The top two all-time jackpots — $656 million from a Mega Millions jackpot and $587.5 million from a Powerball jackpot — were achieved in 2012.
The last major jackpot win came when a New Jersey man won a $338.3 million jackpot on March 23. It is now considered the fourth largest Powerball jackpot in history.
Players aren't complaining about the large sums. Rachel Rand said she just couldn't help herself and bought several Powerball tickets.
"How can you not play $2?" said the 32-year-old insurance adjustor. "A $10 investment if you win is pretty good."
Insurance agent Joe Williams, of Middleton, Wis., doesn't necessarily spend more when the prize is high. But his $4 investment in the quick-pick option means he does spend.
"I know rationally it makes no sense," he said. "But at the same time, without a ticket, I have zero chance."
Tom Powers, 52, a janitor from Omaha, Neb., bought several tickets Tuesday from a convenience store. He said he would definitely walk away from work if he won the jackpot, but he's not sure how he would spend all the winnings.
"It's really unfathomable the amount of money this is putting out," Powers said.
Associated Press writers Kevin Wang in Madison, Wis., and Josh Funk in Omaha, Neb., contributed to this report.

AC/DC's New Album Will Not Be Ready for 'A Year or Two'
AC/DC fans waiting on the edge of their seats for new music from the iconic band better get a little more comfortable. The band's guitarist, Malcom Young, recently revealed in an interview that new music is in fact on its way…but it won't see the light of day any time in the near future.
The last release from AC/DC was 2008′s 'Black Ice,' but Young says fans and followers should not look too closely into something said by lead vocalist Brian Johnson about new material being available as early as next year.
"You know what Brian's like," Young tells Classic Rock. "He just says things and then walks away. It'll be a little while –- a year or two anyway [before we have a new album out]. I've been doing some jamming on some song ideas, but I do that all the time, as do the rest of the band. We are still working, but we had a long rest between 'Stiff Upper Lip' and 'Black Ice,' so I think we need a couple of years to recuperate and work on it a bit more."
And what about the chances of another world tour to support the new album in the works? Not likely. At least we're able to hang onto the glimmer of hope that we will have a new CD in the future!

Is common sense reasserting itself?
Since I like to keep up with current music, when I'm in the car I often listen to Sirius XM Hits 1 (channel 2), which tracks the Top 40 songs. Weekday mornings, Hits 1 offers the Morning MashUp, which consists of two guys and a gal chatting together about celebrity gossip and taking listener phone calls.
Today, much to my surprise, I tuned in to hear this trio talking about the case of the seven year old boy who was suspended from school for lobbing an imaginary grenade at an imaginary box of imaginary bad guys. Even more to my surprise, the Morning MashUp gang was infuriated by the suspension. Their attitude was that kids have to be kids, that children should be allowed to exercise their imaginations, that children have always played cops and robbers, and that the school massively overreacted.
I agree completely with the Morning MashUp gang. I also wonder if (or, perhaps, hope that) they are the tip of the iceberg, with the iceberg being a backlash against the stifling conformity and inanity of the various liberal ukases that control more and more of our lives and of our children's lives.
As an aside, I'm also willing to bet that there is, or easily could be, a study showing that destroying imaginary bad guys, whether by lobbing pretend grenades or having a wild game of cops and robbers, isn't a psychologically necessary way for children to deal with fear. Children are certainly fearful. They have very little control over their lives and their world is peopled with danger, both real and (because they are children) imaginary. Being able to throw a grenade at the bad guys sounds like a perfectly therapeutic imaging exercise designed to empower a fearful child.

Brett Ratner Continues to Ensure He Will Direct History's Worst Oscars
When schlockmeister Brett Ratner was named director of the Oscars, we groaned. When he named Eddie Murphy host, we groaned again. Now he's hired all new writers to help with him with the show. We can't stop groaning.
It appears that Ratner has gathered together a bunch of writers who have never worked on the Oscars before. That's what you need for the world's biggest awards show: novice director, novice host, and novice writers. Great!
What they have worked on is Brett Ratner movies like Rush Hour and Tower Heist. (In theaters now! Go see it because every decision being made for the Oscars is to get you to go see this movie!) This is sort of like if you let your friend who loves bottle service clubs throw you a birthday party but then he throws it at the most annoying joint in town and only invites his loser friends that you don't want to hang out with anyway and he didn't invite cool people like Bruce Villanch. How is Bruce going to pay for his hustlers without a job writing the Oscars?!
To be fair, some of the writers have worked on things like Saturday Night Live, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Nutty Professor. OK, so that means the Oscar jokes will all be hit or miss, like they are every year.
