Trungpa Rinpoche's Diary from the Final Days of the Escape
Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
Trungpa Rinpoche in Tibet, circa 1958
We were desperately short of food, so we could not afford to delay. As we walked down in the morning we looked at a stretch of snow-covered ground surrounding a large lake. We made our way beside it and a little farther on suddenly found ourselves at the edge of a steep escarpment which at first appeared to be impassable. However there was a crack running down it which, though abrupt, had an uneven stony surface affording a reasonable firm foothold; the younger people among us helped those who found it too difficult. Once we got to the bottom everything looked easy, for we were in a small valley with a frozen stream running through it and there was much less snow. The country was completely deserted with no sign of human habitation, the only living creatures being wild animals such as deer, foxes, etc. We chose a sheltered camping place among the rocks, from where we could see distant woods of holly and fir.
In the morning we noticed a large patch of green which we took for field of grass, but when we reached it we found to our horror that it was a large muddy swamp which could not be crossed. We tried to walk around it; this presented further difficulties, for the whole land was covered with a very prickly kind of thorn bush which had to be hacked through with every available knife or sword. This was particularly arduous work and took a long time. Toward evening we reached the junction of two rivers. There was evidence here of recent footprints. We thought that this might be a track leading to Doshong Pass and that Chinese might be in the neighborhood, though the footprints were clearly of Tibetan boots. That night we camped among reeds and trees beside the river.
As we went on I felt more and more puzzled, for everything looked somehow strange. It was all utterly unlike anything I had known hitherto; the air was much warmer and there were so many unknown trees. We were obviously getting near to an inhabited part of the country. That evening, as we sat round the fire, we held counsel together. The question was whether, if we were within reach of a source of food supplies, we could now allow ourselves to consume more of the slender remains of our food, or whether, if the Chinese were in the district, we must ration ourselves yet more severely. Someone suggested that if the Chinese were indeed here, it might be best to surrender, for we were in a poor state of health after so many acute privations and were near starvation. However, most of the party felt sure that there were no Chinese in the vicinity and even if there were, they said that at all costs we must not surrender but must still make every effort to escape. That night, while trying to sleep, we heard many strange noises and at first were greatly disturbed, until we realized that they only came from the wild animals around us.
We had been continuously going up and down the mountain slopes and now hoped to find easier ground. However, with every step the way seemed to become more difficult; the ground was again rougher and the mountains steeper; the trees here grew much taller. In places we had to negotiate great rocks, only able to be crossed by narrow footholds, with rusty chains for support, which reminded me of the track to Rigong Kha; the streams merely had log bridges of the most primitive kind. It was so tiring, jumping from rock to rock that I was beginning to feel at the end of my tether, hardly knowing how to go on; but I dared not tell this to anyone for fear of discouraging them. We camped in a little cave and again saw traces of the same footprints as before. Our tsampa and butter were now all but gone, though we still had some tea; Tsethar remarked that we would have to reach a village within a day or so, otherwise we would all die. A voice called out, "Be a strong Khampa and don't lose heart," and everyone laughed.
Our journey now took us through yet stranger country; there were all sorts of trees forming a dense jungle with no level spaces; a tangle of mountains with continual rain and mist. For the first time we saw banana trees, but did not know that the fruit was edible and dared not experiment. The rain poured in torrents all day, splashing up from the ground as it fell. Toward evening we found quite a nice cave with many signs that travelers had used it before. We now had nothing left except tea and a few leather bags. However, we could make a good fire and really enjoyed this meager fare. I was touched to find that Yönten had still kept a small quantity of tsampa for me. After we had eaten, Tsepa volunteered to go down to see if he could find a village where he could get some food; he and the peasant husband went off together. He said that if he could find a village that night he would return to us with supplies, but if no village was near, we were to come on next day and he would meet us on the way. About an hour after he left, we heard the report of a gun; then nothing further. We felt very anxious.
We stayed in the cave all day and kept up our spirits by chanting as we cooked our leather; it was such a luxury to have a fire and we stayed on in the cave that night.
With the morning light we started off and walked down the slope and as we turned uphill again we met the peasant husband carrying a large bag of tsampa. To our amazement he said that he and Tsepa had overtaken Akong Tulku's elder brother in company with Dorje Tsering's wife and three nuns and they had given him the tsampa to tide over our immediate needs. They told him how they had been captured by the Chinese near the backwater, but managed to escape from the headquarters where they were being held and had afterward joined up with some Kongpo peasants who were also escaping. The party had heard Tsepa's gun the night before and had been so frightened that they had rushed away. It appeared that the gun had only been fired to scare a wild animal which seemed as if it might attack. Tsepa had sent the peasant husband back to us while he himself went up to the village on the mountainside to buy provisions. He sent us a message saying that we were to go to a cave below that place where the other party was waiting for us; he would join us there later with the food. We soon reached the cave and spent a very happy morning telling each other of our experiences. They told us that a group of them had crossed the river and the backwater and had tried to follow us; however, they had lost their way and after lying hidden in the long grass for a time they reached the village. When the Chinese discovered them, there was no fighting; all the refugees were taken prisoner and removed to a village which was a local Chinese headquarters, on the south side of the Brahmaputra. Their baggage was thoroughly searched; all the contents of their amulet boxes were thrown out and all religious books were immediately destroyed. Each person was privately questioned to find out if their stories tallied; they were asked where they came from and where they were going. Most of them said that they were trying to escape to India, though a few said that they were going on pilgrimage to that country. The lamas and leaders were separated from the rest and put under guard to be interrogated more closely. They were given the most menial work to do, such as cleaning out latrines. One of the lamas despaired and hanged himself, he had already escaped from one prison camp in Derge and this was the second time that he had been captured. As other prisoners were brought into the camp all our party were relieved to find that no members of our little group were among them; but when the Chinese could not trace Akong Tulku, Yak Tulku, or me among the senior prisoners, they thought we might be lurking disguised among the crowd, since they knew that we had been the leaders of the party; so the prisoners were checked again, especially the younger ones.
At night everyone was locked up together in a single room, but women and the less important men were allowed to go out into the village during the day: They were, however, called in for individual questioning from time to time. The Chinese would then tell them that now that Lhasa was liberated they could go there whenever they wished to, there would be no trouble on the roads; but of course there were more useful things to be done than wandering off on pilgrimages, which were indeed only superstition. The prisoners were even told that should they wish to go to India for this purpose, the Chinese administration were quite ready to let them out; however, such a journey would be exceedingly dangerous, for anyone might die of starvation or fall ill from the hot climate there.
When a rumor went round the camp that all the able-bodied refugees were shortly to be sent north to join labor camps on the other side of the Brahmaputra and that the senior people and those too old for work were to be sent to concentration camps, one of the nuns contrived to buy food for herself and Akong Tulku's brother, she also obtained information about the best way to reach Doshong Pass. Dorje Tsering's wife and two other nuns were also able to procure some food and all five managed to escape together. They stopped in a wood the first night and crossed the Doshong Pass the following day. Here they met the family from Kongpo who knew the country and were also making their escape, so they joined forces.
The Kongpo family were camping in a valley below our cave and the man came up to see me, bringing a jug of soup made of meat and barley which was much appreciated. He told me how he and his people had escaped: It had been very difficult to get out of their village as permits were only given to visit friends in the near neighborhood and when the visit was over the holder had to apply to the local authorities for permission to return to his own home. Having obtained the permits to leave his village, our friend and his family took the opposite direction toward the mountains to the south. A number of the villagers had wanted to do the same thing, but knowing the danger they would have to encounter in crossing the snowbound Doshong Pass, they had not dared to undertake the journey.
Some refugee lamas from Lower Kongpo were sheltering in the small monastery in the village above our cave. A monk came down with Tsepa to request me to conduct a devotional service for them as well as for the villagers. I was surprised to see him wearing a long dagger which looked somehow wrong for a monk. He was particularly friendly and invited us all to stay in the monastery. However, we felt that this village was too near Lower Kongpo and might not be a safe place for us so, seeing that one could not get to the monastery and back again that same afternoon, we stayed where we were in and around the cave. We had an excellent meal with some pork the villagers had supplied and made dumplings with their wheat flour which they also gave us. We tried the local dish of millet, but found this difficult to swallow.
Some of our party had bought roast corn from the villagers, which we nibbled throughout the day; unfortunately we had not realized that it would swell up inside us and this, followed by a meal of fat pork, gave us all severe stomachaches, so that none of us were able to sleep that night. However, we were all feeling comforted, for we thought that this part of the country was too wild and unproductive to be of much interest to the Communists. A year later, however, the Chinese occupied these frontier regions, including this part.
The Kongpo refugees remained in the vicinity, while we resumed our journey. There are a great many holy mountains in this district which is called Pemakö; Guru Padmasambhava used to meditate in its caves and Tibetans have often come here as hermits and pilgrims to practice meditation
Today it was very hard going, for our way led up and down slopes covered with large rocks; in some cases rough steps had been hewn, in others, it was the old story of narrow nitches cut in the rock faces. There were trees and undergrowth everywhere and we could not see anything of the country around us. To add to our discomfort it was raining very hard and we were wet through before we could stop for the night.
In one of the villages which we passed we stopped to rest and some of the villagers, who appeared to be very poor, welcomed us bringing small rice cakes cooked in oil as well as a local beer also made from rice; as the drink was fermented we were unable to accept it and this rather upset their sense of hospitality. We were much interested when one of the peasants took us up the hill to show us how he grew his corn. This required immense labor, for there were only small patches among the rocks on the mountainside where it could be sown, and it was always in danger of being eaten by the many wild animals about the place; to protect it he had built small well-thatched sheds from where he could keep watch against them. We spent the night on a little hill where there was water.
When we woke up in the morning we could see our next objective, a village high up on the slopes on the other side of the river. We crossed this by a slender bamboo bridge and, beyond it, found ourselves on steep hard ground. There were no rocks, but footholds had been cut on the stony surface in a zigzag pattern to made the climb easier. As we went farther up we could see the Brahmaputra again, now on the southwestward course: The ranges on its south side looked beautiful with patches of cloud and little groups of houses dotted about. These foothills of the Himalayas have a continual rainfall and everything looked wonderfully green. We could not recognize most of the plants here for they were utterly different from those which grow in East Tibet. We later learned that this is the best time for traveling, for in the winter there are no snakes nor leeches about. Our climb was very arduous and from the time that we had crossed the river there was no water to be had anywhere until we reached a village called Pedong late in the afternoon. I had sent a messenger ahead of the party to ask if we could be given accommodation for a couple of weeks; when we arrived we received a warm welcome and were able to rent rooms in various houses.
I, together with my attendant, Yönten, Tsepa and his wife, and the peasant family stayed in the headman's house; our host gave me his best room and that evening he himself cooked our meal. Some of the dishes were made of stewed leather, which is largely eaten in this area; being now nicely cooked with spices and vegetables. I did not even realize that it was leather. For drink he gave us an alcoholic liquor made from wheat and, when I asked for tea, he told me that no water was available that night and that this drink would be good for us after our long journey, since we must be worn out and in need of rest. As monks do not touch alcohol we did not drink it, however, and pretended that the soup had been enough to quench our thirst, which disappointed our host. He was a very gentle and friendly man anxious to help us in every way; moreover he knew Tibetan and acted as interpreter to all our party, for the villagers only spoke the local dialect.
I took a walk in the country outside the village and was shocked to see some little boys hunting birds which they took home and roasted in their kitchens. When I spoke about this to our host he said it was difficult to stop people from doing it as it was the custom. Akong Tulku and Yak Tulku had had the same experience as ourselves in refusing the alcoholic drink, but after we had walked around together and seen for ourselves the scarcity of water, we understood the position better, for the villagers had to walk a long way down to the valley and then dig a hole, into which water would slowly trickle. This work was generally done by the women. The villagers' chief industry was very fine and artistic basketwork colored with beautiful vegetable dyes.
During the following days I had many talks with the local people; they considered themselves to be Buddhists, though all this area still showed traces of the ancient Bön religion. There were temples in the villages, but the priests in charge were singularly lax; they had never received any training, and the way to celebrate the rites had merely been handed on orally from father to son. They were all married and led more or less worldly lives. For the devotional ceremonies, the fathers of the household and their sons joined with the priest in charge, while the women and children looked on, and these assemblies generally included the serving of alcoholic drinks to all by the women. Though this part of the country had been considered holy since the eighth century, latterly pilgrims who came to meditate in the neighboring caves rarely went near the small villages so that the indigenous people seldom had any contract with instructed Buddhists.
In the eighth century when Buddhism first began to spread into Tibet practices such as the worship of nature spirits and the animal sacrifices of the Bon religion were forbidden and many Bönpo adherents emigrated to the outlying regions of the Himalayas, both to the Pemakö district and to parts of Nepal, for they could not go to India which at that time was largely Buddhist. However, after Buddhism had become universal in Tibet the inhabitants of the Pemakö area took shelter under the name of Buddhism, though still practicing some of the Bon rites. On the other hand in the eastern province of Kyungpo the people still call themselves Bonpös, though their practice is Buddhist in effect; they are known as the "White Bonpös."
In 1950 Düdjom Rinpoche, a renowned teacher of the Nyingma order or "order of the ancients" came to Pemakö. He had already established a monastery in Upper Kongpo and wished to found a second one here with a good library, his chief object being to train monks so that they might instruct the local people in the real teachings of Buddhism; in their isolation they had sadly lapsed and reform was necessary. Among other things he introduced cows, so that the villagers need not be solely dependent on hunting wild animals for food. He knew the local dialect and could mix with and teach the people himself.
The villagers told me how much it had meant to them having his monastery there to take a lead in this much-needed work of reform. At one time they had had a Tibetan monk-official as administrator of the district; later, the Chinese had also established a headquarters in the area, but had withdrawn after two years; they had made very little impression on the people. All were now very anti-Chinese and were prepared to fight for their liberty, if only with primitive bows and arrows. They had made plans to build bridges in such a way that they could be demolished at the very moment when the Chinese would be crossing them.
There was no possibility of getting any milk and since it was winter, vegetables were in very short supply; there was nothing left for us, therefore, but to fall in with the local custom of drinking beer, of which the villagers had large quantities. This, combined with better food and rest, certainly renewed our health. When our fortnight was up we were ready to go on with our journey.
After about four hours walking we came to the next village. We had already met many of the inhabitants and they had prepared accommodation for all of us. Here the houses were brighter and more cheerful and the people wore better clothes. I met a lama who had escaped from Upper Kongpo with a number of peasant refugees. His account of the Chinese persecution was the usual sad one. This party had traveled by a different route to the one we had taken.
The next village lay farther away. Mostly we were following the Brahmaputra, but all the villages were situated on the slopes of the mountains. A bridge that we saw over the river was different from any we had yet seen; it was made of very wobbly bamboo wattle; bamboo loops placed at intervals round it served to help the passenger to keep his balance. This village had some contact with the Indian side of the Himalayas, and consequently there were certain Indian goods to be seen, I was amused to meet men wearing pajamas. Indian coinage was partly in circulation here and cuttings of Indian pictures from newspapers were often stuck on the walls. The specialty of this village was making a particular poison to put on their arrowheads which paralyzed the animals they hunted. The women sat on their balconies all busily engaged in spinning and weaving. The majority of the inhabitants only spoke the Mön dialect; however, some of the older ones knew Tibetan and we were welcomed and put up for the night. We were told that a detachment of Indian guards had been stationed near the village who had invited all the villagers to join in their New Year festivities on January 1, and the people had been very interested to see Indian airplanes in the vicinity.
I met the priest who has living with his family in the local temple; he could speak Tibetan and was proud of the fact that he had visited many places in Tibet. He told me that he had been in retreat and that its chief benefit had been an increase of magical power. We had an argument and I pointed out to him that Buddhism teaches that one must go beyond selfish aims. A retreat should be to increase spiritual awareness; one must start with the five moral precepts. He courteously agreed, after which we both remained silent. Yak Tulku, who had been much scandalized by the corrupt habits of these people was delighted that I had had an opportunity to expound a truly Buddhist way of life. He said that, had he been talking to this priest, he would probably have lost his temper and said something rude.
We started on a long trek, passing several villages until we came to the last one on the Tibetan territory where we camped by the riverbank. We were delighted to have water to drink and I now made it a rule that in future no beer was to be taken; I was afraid that some of the younger people were growing too fond of it.
Our party of 19 started out very early. It was impossible to keep close to the Brahmaputra as the bank was too rocky, so we had to walk along the mountainside above it. The top of the next pass was the boundary between Tibet and India. We were still uncertain how we would be received by the guards there. There was a big notice-board facing us painted in the colors of the Indian flag, with large letters in Hindi saying "Bharat" and English letters saying "India." Below, we saw a newly built stupa made of concrete and whitewashed; its presence was encouraging. The two men on guard showed their welcome as they shook hands with us though we could not speak each other's languages. We felt intensely happy at this moment and particularly so in seeing the stupa, symbol of Buddhism, on Indian soil.
We walked down a further mile to the check post. The soldiers there confiscated Tsepa's gun and my field glasses and in sign language indicated that we should go farther down the mountainside and not stay where we were. There were various soldiers traveling on the road and we heard an airplane overhead. Feeling tired after our long day, we camped beside a small stream. In the middle of the night a soldier came with an interpreter to see what we were up to. He merely woke us up, looked round, and went away.
Early in the morning another soldier came to our camp and seeing our warm fire, sat down beside it. He was smoking and offered us some of his cheroots; we accepted them because we did not like to refuse his kindness, but none of us smoked. We watched him with the greatest interest; he was so different from any Tibetan type, with his pointed nose, deep-set eyes, and mustache. Not long after a second soldier arrived; he looked more like a Tibetan and could speak our language; he said he was a Bhutanese. He had heard of Gyalwa Karmapa and told me that his party had arrived in India before the Dalai Lama left Lhasa and, to our great sorrow, he added that Khyentse of Dzongsar had died.
A messenger came from the army camp, which was about a quarter of a mile away, to tell us to go on to the camp where we would be looked after. When we reached it we were shown into the dak bungalow which was entirely built of bamboo and the walls were covered with basketwork. Everything was beautifully arranged with bathroom, etc., and a fully equipped kitchen. We were told that we must rest and were given rice and tinned food. We discovered that it was the adjutant of the Indian regiment stationed there who was personally looking after us; he spoke Tibetan fluently and asked for all our names. He understood that we had been abbots of important monasteries and told me that he had been privileged to meet many lamas who had come by this pass and that he himself was a Buddhist.
The adjutant brought us temporary permits to show the Indian authorities at the airport. He explained that they had little food to spare at the camp as they were rather short themselves; but he gave us what he could and told me that we should always stay in the local dak bungalows. Before leaving he asked for my blessing.
The road here was much better; and the bridges more strongly built with steel cables. On the way, we met an Indian official traveling on his district rounds, with no less than five porters to carry his baggage. He was very sympathetic about our having had to leave our own country and assured us that the Indian government would look after us, just as they were looking after the Dalai Lama and other Tibetan refugees. His interpreter, the headman of the local village, looked very proud of himself in his uniform. This was the country of a primitive tribe who worship nature spirits and the whole atmosphere here seemed quite different from anything we had known before, with no obvious influences either from Tibet or the Indian side. There was much greater poverty in the villages and the dak bungalow where we stopped for the night was very small. There were, however, a few people here who had worked in India among Tibetans, and I asked them to teach me a few useful Hindi words.
We reached the town of Tuting round about midday and were shown a bamboo shelter where we could stay the night. Due to the rainy weather, here too there was a shortage of food and we were told that if we could manage on our own small supplies it would be a good thing. In the town there was a large camp of different races, all engaged on building houses for the army and the government officials in the area. There were quite a number of shops and small restaurants, and we were able to buy a few necessities, changing our Tibetan coins into Indian currency.
No one knew how we could get to India proper, for there was a waiting list for the few airplanes flying to and fro. However, we no longer felt anxious: We were free at last and were able to wander about the town at will. I was struck by the fact that people here were much gayer and more cheerful than in the Communist-controlled Tibetan towns. As we were having our midday meal, a messenger came to tell us to go down to the airport, as there was every possibility that we would get a lift that same evening. A tractor arrived with a trailer behind it, into which we all bundled. The winding road led through a valley and we came to the gate of the airport. It was built in decorative Tibetan style, surmounted by the ashoka emblem. We disembarked and waited. No one knew of any airplanes likely to arrive that day. The evening drew in and it was quite dark. A jeep came to take me to see the local district administrator; he gave me a bag of rice and a few vegetables and apologized that supplies were so scanty and the accommodation so limited. However, he was sure that the plane would come the next day. He asked me to leave my blessing in the place, that things should go well. I thanked him and presented him with a white scarf. We spent that night in the hut.
In the morning an official came and read out a list of our names. He told us that we would be given priority on the next plane. It arrived that morning and, since it was a transport plane, its cargo of building material was first taken off and seats screwed in afterward. There was only room for six of us: myself, my own attendant, Yak Tulku and his attendant, Tsethar, and Yunten; the rest of the party followed in a second plane that same day.
This, our first flight, was a strange new experience, skimming over cloud-covered mountains, seeing far below us the small villages and footpaths leading up to them; only by the moving shadow of the plane on the ground could we gauge how fast we were traveling.
We thought about the teaching of impermanence; this was a complete severance of all that had been Tibet and we were traveling by mechanized transport. As the moments passed, the mountain range was left behind, and the view changed to the misty space of the Indian plains stretching out in front of us.

Texas Tech's Depth Is Team's Best Trait Heading into Crazy Season
TexasTech.com / Photographer: Elise Bressler
This college basketball season is going to be wild. Yes, every college basketball season is wild but with cancellations and rescheduling that's already happening added to the day to day COVID-19 precautions this season is setting up to be even more unpredictable than college football has been.
In the football world, the Big 12 has been relatively unchanged with just a few games postponed since the initial struggle to get non-conference games in. The University of Houston, who had a game canceled against Baylor, has now had its 7th game of the season affected due to COVID.
The Big 12 football teams have been working on the guideline that 53 players have to be active on gameday with certain regulations in regards to how many players have to be available at each position. The Big 12 basketball teams are going to have a similar guideline. Brian Davis of the Austin American Statesman reported that if a team has six players available, they'll be eligible to play.
There will be no requirement to have guards, forwards, or centers.
To some teams, that might be a problem. There are teams that have firm positions like a point guard, shooting guard, power forward that are important to how the teams play on both ends of the floor. That's how those schools build their rosters. Texas Tech is not one of those programs. Chris Beard is a firm believer in positionless basketball. That doesn't mean every player on the team can play anywhere, but there's certainly more flexibility for Texas Tech than most teams in college basketball.
I'd break down the roster into three types of players. Guards, Tweeners, and Forwards.
GUARDS:
Starters - Mac McClung, Kyler Edwards
Bench - Nimari Burnett, Jamarius Burton, Clarence Nadolny, Avery Benson
I'm fairly confident that McClung will start for the Red Raiders when the Kansas Jayhawks come into town on December 17th. Before then the Red Raiders will have to find a combination of guards to play together. It might be that McClung and Burnett start together and Kyler Edwards is the first player to come off the bench, similar to Brandone Francis as a senior. That team was quite a bit different than this one though with less depth and more reliant on frontline talent.
If Edwards and McClung are the starters, I expect Burnett and Burton to get the next biggest minutes block while Nadolny and Avery occupy the end of the bench.
TWEENERS:
Starters - Terrence Shannon, Joel Ntambwe
Bench - Micah Peavy, Kevin McCullar, Chibuzo Agbo
This is another group that could have multiple starters. In Beard's system, the tweeners need to be able to score the ball like a guard and defend like a forward. Shannon was a starter for the majority of his freshman season before he was supplanted in the lineup by McCullar. Heading into this season, with Edwards in the starting lineup, I think McCullar is going to be The Guy off the bench.
Ntambwe is on the edge of being a tweener, but his limited sample size from UNLV of shooting nearly 40% from the floor as a freshman to go with 12 points per game and nearly six rebounds per game justify his position. Both true freshman, Peavy and Agbo certainly contain the chops offesnsively. The question with them is can they provide the type of defense in the Big 12 that has made Texas Tech what it has been under Beard.
FORWARD:
Starters - Marcus Santos-Silva
Bench - Tyreek Smith, Vladislav Goldin
The forward group is the glue of the team. These guys need to provide defense and rebounding. Last year at VCU, Marcus Santos-Silva had more offensive rebounds than Texas Tech's Chris Clarke and TJ Holyfield combined. That presence, along with his defensive tenacity, will allow the Texas Tech guards and tweeners to move freely and score at will. Tyreek Smith is the big mystery here. His vertical and athleticism are outrageous. He's listed at 6'7" and might end up being a tweener, but until he show's some offensive chops he'll find his home here.
The last name here is Goldin. The tallest Red Raider in quite some time, even taller than fan-favorite Russell Tchewa last season. He's also a much more polished prospect than his Putnam Science Acadamy classmates before him. The problem for Goldin isn't his talent, it's the talent in front of him. If there's a matchup though where Beard needs a 7-foot presence, then Goldin will be the man.

Frankly, I was flummoxed. When I was asked to conduct a walking tour on the theme of a book, Eccentric Cambridge, around that wonderful little city, I could hardly drag the eccentric characters that populate it out of their houses. And anyway, many of Cambridge's deeply odd people are now dead or living in far-flung fennish villages.
But then I thought of a suitably eccentric way to introduce this cradle of so much brilliance: show people the incredible things that aren't there. It could have backfired but it went down well, and it's a tour you can follow yourself, finding a kernel of Cambridge's sometimes crackpot genius in the process.
We started at Waterstone's bookshop and turned left, and then right up Petty Cury. While walking up here, I mentioned that the biggest thing missing from Cambridge is the university. Tourists arriving at the station and asking taxi drivers to take them to what they think is Cambridge's number one landmark leaves cabbies scratching their heads.
If it's raining, you can go left at the top down Corn Exchange Street and across Downing Street to view the puddles in Downing College. Missing: lanky former student John Cleese copying people ridiculously stepping over them and dreaming up what would become Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks.
Plus, you could learn how the place was reluctantly founded by the family of George Downing, a vile, two-faced political turncoat who gave his name to the other Downing Street, and view the missing side of what would have been the biggest college by far - had the money not run out.
We carried on instead past the market to the spot from which Hobson's Conduit is now missing. This fine fountain, named after Thomas Hobson (1544-1631), once provided townsfolk with fresh spring water, and while it used to be sited here, it has since been moved to the road in from London.
It is also this Thomas Hobson who gave us the expression 'Hobson's Choice' (no choice at all): as an owner of livery stables, he avoided ruining the best horses by refusing to let his customers pick their mount and allocated them in strict rotation instead.
On the corner of Peas Hill, we turned left. Missing: both the peas and the hill. But if you were born in late February or early March, you might guess its derivation: Pisces.
In fact, this was the fish market, and 'hill' in this 'college-studded marsh' meant any bit of firm ground. It was here in 1626 that a large fish was cut open and was found to contain a religious tract in a small book. It was republished as Vox Piscis, the voice of the fish, and became a bestseller. Cod moves in mysterious ways.
Going to the end of this road, we turn round on Bene't Street. Missing: the 'dic' in the middle of Benedict. St Bene't's college is long gone, too, as are several other educational institutions, including Glomery Hall, where Glomerels once studied Glomery (or Latin grammar as it is now known). I'm not making this up, honestly.
On the left as you walk up this street is a passage, Free School Lane, which is marked with a huge cast iron sign saying that cycling is prohibited. Missing: enforcement of daft laws. I have stood here and offered to buy a pint for people if the rule wasn't broken within one minute. I haven't lost yet.
Opposite is the ancient Eagle pub, and missing here is the double helix staircase that gave Crick and Watson the idea for DNA.
It's missing because I am making this up. But it was really here that the scientists announced their discovery of the building block of life in 1953 (see the blue plaque outside). Also missing: some of the World War II pilots who flew from nearby bases such as Duxford and left lewd graffiti on the bar ceiling.
At St Bene't Church, further up on the left, look at the tower of the city's oldest church and note the simple arches (and missing glass) dating back to Saxon times. In those days, seats would have been missing from the interior, making long services punishing and leading to the saying 'the weakest to the wall'.
Turning right into King's Parade, King's College Chapel hardly needs any introduction, except to say that it represents the other extreme of English church design from St Bene't's. The 1,500-ton fan-vaulted ceiling, the best in the world, is a miracle of masonry, apparently supported by sheer walls of stained glass. Visiting Cambridge without gazing on this is like going to Cairo and not seeing the pyramids. But the most amazing thing is that the flying buttresses - the architectural features that allowed many other great churches to have high stone roofs - are missing.
Even the great Sir Christopher Wren, who built a few marvels here in Cambridge after the gothic style had fallen out of favour, professed bewilderment at their absence. 'If any man would show me where to place the first stone, I will build such another,' he said.
Also missing: The war record of the great poet Rupert Brooke, who is commemorated in the Chapel. He may, indeed, be buried 'in some corner of a foreign field' but he didn't actually get to the trenches of Gallipoli, dying unheroically of a fly bite on the way. He might have written otherwise if he had actually reached the front.
Going past King's College itself (sometimes called 'a chapel with a small college attached'), note the university church on the right by the market, Great St Mary's.
Originally, this church was missing a tower and one was added only a century later, in 1608 - ironically, the church warden, John Warren, toppled from its summit as soon as it was finished. Under the tower, his memorial talks of 'The Stones That Hide the Steepls Shame'. Yes, the 'e' in 'Steeple' is also missing.
If you turned left past the Senate House, you could also note the missing Austin van which students once perched on the building's roof as a prank. In fact, the students seemed to have a thing about Austins and even suspended one over the river from the Bridge of Sighs in St John's College (it had been taken there on a set of punts, but is, of course, also now missing).
It seems a bit unfair that these cars got such a rough deal in the town as Herbert Austin was a great benefactor of Cambridge, just as William Morris was of Oxford.
If you go through Clare College to the river, also missing is a segment of one of the stone balls on the bridge balustrade. There are various theories as to why. One is that the pay for this beautiful bridge was a shilling short, so the mason exacted his pound of flesh (or stone).
The structure is also known as Catchpole Bridge, named for the students' fondness for grabbing punt poles, and leaving their victims either in the water or floating helplessly downstream.
One of the best pranks was when a polystyrene ball was painted to look like one of the stone ones. As a punt passed beneath it, the naughty students pushed it off into the punt with much apparent heaving. The punt occupants jumped out in horror but the ball bounced out and floated harmlessly down the river. Well, you'll be missing your lunch by now. Go back via Trinity Lane and Trinity Street and notice the missing sceptre on the statue of Henry VIII in front of 'Trinners' - cheeky students have replaced it with a chair leg.
Also missing: the Nobel prizes that most ordinary universities around the world covet. Trinity alone has at least 31 to its name, more than many entire countries.
And while you're eating your lunch, consider what you'd have missed if you hadn't gone in search of the things you can no longer see. It's amazing how much you can learn from the stuff that isn't there.

Hey C2E Admins and site owners.
I love your forum, and the ideas that come from it, and the idea of the forum as well.
which makes images, and even text hard to view, and lots of scrolling just to read one lengthy post.
I hope you people understand what I'm trying to demonstrate here.
I think pretty much everyone with a monitor set to smaller than 1280x960 probably does. :?
This has been noted. Thanks for the suggestion.
Well, its been 5 months since I made the first suggestion. I've heard no real feedback. I've heard lots of complaints about "wasted" space, and not being able to view "normal size" images. I've "bumping" my thread as I've found a few more pictures on this site that after reading a long post you have to scroll to view the 2/3s of the image.
Is there any sort of plan to upgrade or change this around?
We made a few upgrades in the spring, and will look at making additional adjustments mid-summer - specifically a few design changes to reduce the amount of scrolling within the forum as suggested.
I can officially say this is in the queue.
Thank-you for suggestions and your patience!
I'm new to this forum and the first thing I've noticed is that you can't search for a topic by keyword. I'm having difficulties trying to find the thread I've posted in. Many forums give you an option of Keyword Search. Is this something that you might be willing to move to?
You can search for a topic by keyword in "Forum search" and can narrow it down to author, date posted ascending or descending, what forum it was posted in (i.e. Great Ideas or Politics) and you then can specify the search to display the characters of the post from all available to 1000.

Thanks - I was expecting it to be in plain site. I appreciate it.

I have always liked the look of big Guns so when this nice example turned up I couldn't say no! It's not a particularly complicated game but I love the cannons firing the balls through the air to the wire forms and the troll drop targets. Its kind of like Medieval Madness 10 years early, trolls, a mad king and damsels, you can't go wrong!

379 dengue cases recorded last week, highest since March 2016: NEA
FILE PHOTO: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are seen inside Oxitec laboratory in Campinas, Brazil, on February 2, 2016. REUTERS/Paulo Whitaker/File Photo
01 Jun 2019 08:16PM (Updated: 01 Jun 2019 10:17PM )
SINGAPORE: There were 379 dengue cases recorded last week, which is the highest weekly number since March 2016, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said in an advisory on Saturday (Jun 1).
"The number of weekly reported dengue cases have been on an upward trend, and have more than tripled in the past nine weeks. We have not seen such a high weekly number since March 2016," NEA said.
The agency also added that the peak dengue season has set in.
As of last Saturday, a total of 3,918 dengue cases have been reported in 2019, according to NEA. This is more than three times reported in the same period last year, when there were 1,058 cases, it added.
"The current upward trend coincides with the start of the warmer months from June to October, where we usually experience a higher number of dengue cases," NEA said.
Last month, NEA said that the number of dengue cases recorded in 2019 so far has surpassed the total number of cases in 2018.
On Wednesday, a 63-year-old man became the fourth person to die from dengue this year, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and NEA said.

(Graph: NEA)
NEA STEPS UP ON CHECKS, TAKE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS
NEA said it stepped up on checks in the lead up to the peak dengue season.
In April, a surveillance system deployed by NEA showed a 25 per cent increase in the Aedes mosquito population as compared to the previous month.
NEA also said about 60 per cent of breeding habitats it detected between January and March were found in residential premises.
During this period, more than 200,000 inspections were conducted, including about 1,800 that were carried out at construction sites. NEA said it uncovered about 2,900 mosquito breeding habitats during those checks.
Enforcement actions were also taken as part of efforts to stem mosquito breeding and dengue.
More than 600 households have been fined for mosquito breeding as of March, NEA said.
About 70 notices to attend court and seven stop work orders were also issued to construction sites. Three court prosecutions were made against contractors for repeated offences, NEA said.
"As we are in the traditional dengue peak season, community action is urgently needed to bring down the Aedes mosquito population, and prevent more people from being infected with the dengue virus," NEA said.
It added: "We urge all residents living in dengue cluster areas to cooperate with NEA officers and facilitate their checks and indoor spraying of their homes."
The public can help to stem dengue transmission by removing stagnant water through ways like inverting pails and changing the water in vases regularly, NEA said.
READ: More than 2,000 dengue cases reported in first quarter
READ: Wolbachia mosquitoes to be released at expanded Nee Soon, Tampines sites in next phase of study
Those infected with dengue should protect themselves from mosquito bites by applying repellent regularly, and those showing symptoms suggestive of dengue should see their General Practitioners early to be diagnosed, it added.
In January, NEA said more than 140 blocks of Housing Board flats in Nee Soon East and Tampines West would participate in the next phase of the Wolbachia mosquito project to reduce the Aedes mosquito population and fight dengue.
Under the project, male Wolbachia-Aedes mosquitoes, which have been infected with the Wolbachia bacterium were released into test sites. When they mate with female Aedes mosquitoes, the eggs the females lay will not hatch.
As of Monday, there were 72 active dengue clusters, with the five largest clusters located at:
Woodlands Avenue 6/Woodlands Circle/Woodlands Crescent/Woodlands Drive 60/Woodlands Drive 72
Woodlands Avenue 6/Woodlands Drive 62/Woodlands Drive 73/Woodlands Drive 75/Woodlands Ring Road

Kevin Ellison
Grasslands Ecologist, Northern Great Plains
Kevin has more than 25 years of experience conducting research in avian ecology. Originally from relatively Tallgrass remnant-rich northern Illinois, Kevin developed an interest in cowbirds -species that lay their eggs in the nests of other species to be raised while the cowbirds follow the large grazers that they forage alongside. Kevin's work on cowbirds led him to degrees for work in California and Texas. In 2005, Kevin returned to the Great Plains to conduct post-doctoral research on the responses of grassland birds to the removal of tree rows and used mini-cameras at nests to identify predators. In 2008-2013, Kevin studied relationships between grassland birds and grazing management in Montana, the Dakotas, and Saskatchewan. He started working for WWF in 2013.
Kevin works with WWF's NGP Science and Sustainable Ranching Initiative teams, assessing grassland bird data from the levels of species' populations down to individual ranches. Working with over 50 ranchers in the region, Kevin is conducting surveys of grassland birds to quantify the benefits of ranching for grassland birds. Kevin has banded many grassland birds for studies of habitat use and to track migrations with geolocators. Kevin also serves on several graduate student committees focused on grassland bird projects.
Kevin has published over 30 articles and book chapters in peer-reviewed publications. A majority of his research has focused on bird nesting ecology, nest predation, video monitoring of nests, cowbird ecology, bison ecology, climate adaptation and vulnerability in grasslands, habitat management, grassland bird migrations, and the development of livestock management practices that conserve habitats for wildlife. Kevin and his research have appeared on PBS programs and All Bird TV.
"Birds are excellent indicators of ecosystem health -therefore it is of concern that four species of grassland songbirds have declined by over 75% since the 1960s. These 'canaries of the prairies' indicate that habitat loss and degradation is threatening North America's largest terrestrial ecosystem. WWF is working with ranching communities to help sustain their stewardship of grasslands and prevent conversion of grasslands to land unsuitable for wildlife."

Lockheed Martin will continue to produce Symphony radio-controlled improvised explosive device (RC-IED) defeat jammer systems for the US Navy under an initial $40.8m contract.
Lockheed Martin Radar Systems vice-president Carl Bannar said the Symphony was mounted on convoy vehicles and had been proven in combat against radio-controlled IEDs.
"The system was engineered and built to provide continuous electronic force protection against RC-IEDs in the most rugged, tactical and extreme environments," he said.
Symphony can be easily installed, operated and maintained on the diverse set of platforms used by security forces worldwide.
In addition, the system is compatible and interoperable with other communications systems and jamming devices.
The Symphony systems are being produced for sale through the foreign military sales programme to allied, coalition and partner nations for operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and other nations.
Production work will be carried out at Lockheed Martin facilities in Florida and Virginia, and in the field of operations.
The contract has a ceiling value of $940m and runs until 2014.

The Maryland Symphony Orchestra provides a dazzling variety of programs, from the grand musical treasures of the Masterworks Series to the joyful offerings of the MSO Pops! and Home for the Holidays; from the glorious sentimentality of the Salute to Independence Concert at Antietam National Battlefield to the exuberance and wonder of the annual Citi Youth Concerts and Kinder Konzerts Series.
Barry Tuckwell, Music Director for the MSO's first seventeen seasons, provided a solid foundation for the orchestra, bringing musical masterpieces to life for many who were unfamiliar with the beauty of classical music. Under the artistic leadership of current Music Director Elizabeth Schulze, new concerts and programs have been added and the repertoire has both broadened and deepened. By keeping in mind its mission – "to provide musical performances and programs that educate and entertain while enhancing the cultural environment of Western Maryland and the surrounding region" – the Maryland Symphony Orchestra remains one of the area's greatest treasures.


CCB's areas of focus include applications of complex system methods, such as agent-based simulation, network theory, and nonlinear optimization techniques to analyze and solve problems that arise when large numbers of entities (consumers, employees, traders, firms, etc.) interact in ways that are too complex to be understood by more traditional management research tools. Such problems can be found in practically all areas of modern management, including marketing, information systems, operations and logistics, finance, and organization science.
The Center for Complexity in Business is pleased to announce a new repository of papers hosted at the Social Science Research Network. The repository currently hosts a dozen papers covering topics including agent-based modeling, viral marketing, data simulation, and diffusion. The repository can be found at this link.

New competition future feature of Aratipu Report
by admin_hland - July 17, 2020 July 17, 2020 806
The key areas of focus of the review into New Zealand's Super Rugby future model have been outlined by New Zealand Rugby (NZR).
The three-month review, known as Aratipu (growth, regeneration, invigoration), was overseen by the Chairs of the five Super Rugby clubs, provincial and private investor representatives as well as NZR Chair Brent Impey and CEO Mark Robinson. New Zealand's 26 provincial unions also fed into the review and it was presented to the NZR Board yesterday.
NZR Chief Executive Mark Robinson said the NZR Board had approved a number of key recommendations aimed at establishing a new competition in 2021 that "fans would love, that was competitive on the field, that players wanted to play in and that drove commercial growth that could be reinvested back into our game."
"Coming on the back of Covid-19 and its impact on future competitions, the NZR Board has committed to establishing a new professional team competition in 2021. We have also been heartened by the success of Investec Super Rugby Aotearoa.
"The focus is now on confirming the licenses for New Zealand's five current Super Rugby clubs and that work is now underway. We have highly valued the partnership with these five clubs over the last 25 years of the competition and want that to continue," he said.
"As well, there is a huge desire to have a Pasifika team involved which we think will be massive for the competition, popular with fans and is a priority for us. As we know, our Pacific nations and Pasifika players in New Zealand have added so much to the rich history of rugby in Oceania and our game here in New Zealand. To have a team that would provide an additional pathway for Pasifika players to perform on the world stage would be hugely exciting," Robinson said.
"As well, we will also be working with Rugby Australia to seek expressions of interest from their current Super clubs and other interested parties to join the competition and that work will begin in earnest. We are excited and interested to see what our Australian neighbours will bring to this competition," he added.
Robinson said criteria would be developed as part of the expressions of interest (EOI) process and added the Board hadn't settled on what the ideal number of teams in the new competition would be but hoped to have between eight and ten teams involved. The EOI process will begin next week and NZR hopes to have it completed by the end of next month.
"We want teams that are competitive and that fans will want to watch go head to head, week in, week out."
Robinson said NZR would also be consulting with SANZAAR as part of the ongoing work on establishing the competition.
The Aratipu report also contains recommendations relating to fan engagement, the high-performance player pathway and financial sustainability of clubs. Robinson said NZR would now work closely with provincial unions and Super clubs on how any changes would be implemented to ensure that rugby can continue to grow and build on the opportunity presented by the Covid-19 pandemic.

What pollutants are introduced into the atmosphere by volcanoes?
Volcanoes are a major source of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas in the atmosphere. This gas is poisonous and is an irritant to the mucous membranes found in your throat, eyes, and nose. Sulfur dioxide also reacts with oxygen, sunlight, dust, and water to create SO42- droplets and sulfuric acid (H2SO4), which leads to a type of smog referred to as volcanic smog, or "vog." Vog can cause asthma attacks and damage the upper respiratory tract. The sulfuric acid produced can also cause acid rain.

At work with: Tom Johnson, Gold Flake Paint
Posted by Jeremy Leslie
Print x Digital
Tom Johnson started Gold Flake Paint as a personal music blog in Glasgow, ten years ago. The site has evolved over the years, and in late 2018 he produced a print edition to accompany it. Aside from Gold Flake Paint, Tom works for US indie record label Saddle Creek as a European cheerleader. We talk to him as the fifth print editon of his magazine goes to press.
Tell us about your typical Monday journey to work
I climb out of bed, walk to the kitchen to make some tea, then head to the living room sofa and check my emails and social media stuff, trying to gently wake up. I work for an hour then have a shower and make some coffee. Then I sit at the table and get stuck into the real work. I work from home, so it's the same journey every morning.
Maybe at some point we'll have a real office and I'll become a real person, but I actually enjoy working from home most of the time. We also have a couple of lovely cafes nearby which I'll go and work in when I get cabin fever or need some fresh air. I've tried the office thing in the past but I tend to work much better this way. It also makes us prime dog-sitting material (please meet Rachel the greyhound, pictured).
Describe the state of your desk and what you can see in your office.
We live on a top-floor flat so even though we're in the middle of Glasgow I can mostly see lots of sky, trees, birds, and the Campsie hills in the distance (on a rare clear day). It's so quiet up here and we get all the morning sunshine, which is why it's such a good place to work from.
I do a bunch of the writing for the journal as well as overseeing the operation so it's good to have that stillness, to be able to put a nice record on and just sit and write some days. We do have a little office/desk set up in the flat but we also have a really comfortable armchair which is always staring at me. My posture is fucked.
Which magazine do you first remember?
As a kid I loved football and pop music so it would either be Shoot! or Top Of The Pops, both of which I bought whenever I had enough pocket money. As a teenager, I got really into films so I started collecting Empire magazine. I don't think I missed an issue for about three years, and that was the first time I properly loved a publication. Then the internet came along and ruined everything.
Which magazine matters to you the most right now?
I think one of my favourite part of the past year has been discovering the magazine world, as we've always just existed in the music world. There are so many beautifully inspiring magazines out there. Over the past twelve months I've really enjoyed Psyche, She Shreds, It's Freezing in LA!, gal-dem. And I'm a big fan of Nutmeg up here in Scotland which writes really intelligently about all things Scottish football.
Can you describe your magazine in three words?
Gold. Flake. Paint.
Joke! Ummm, probably something dumb but endearing like: MUSIC REALLY MATTERS!
That name – what does it mean?
'Gold Flake Paint' is a snippet of a lyric from a song that means a lot to me. I picked those three words nearly ten years ago when I was starting this thing as an emo music blog that nobody would ever read. And now here we are. I always took it to be about not settling for a life you don't believe in, which resonated a lot with me at that time (I told you it was emo).
What music do you specialise in?
This is the question I always struggle with. I guess it's kind of like 6Music with less old men? We like to celebrate often-new and always-interesting independent music from across the globe, in whatever form that comes. If you're into music then hopefully you can pick up a journal and find an interesting conversation with an artist you already love and one with an artist you're about to fall in love with.
It's always trying to find that balance between discovery and celebration. Our cover feature for Issue four, for example, was this incredible indie-rock-pop-songwriter called Vagabon (above) who we've championed for a few years now and who's new album is absolutely deserving of a front cover but is still somewhat niche, especially over here.
Then inside the magazine, we had interviews with people like Tegan & Sara (one million Facebook fans!) and Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, who I've been spent a decade trying to interview and who was on actual Parks & Rec. I guess our MO is that we only write about music we genuinely love and we hope that enough people trust our taste to engage with it, whether they've heard of it or not.
Favourite new music is the new Caribou album which isn't quite out yet but is very special indeed and wihch you might be able to read about in our upcoming issue *cough*
There's a quiet rise in the number of music magazines, despite the failure of NME et al. What do you attribute this to?
I think it's maybe loosely tied in with the whole vinyl resurgence thing, in that there are enough people who feel somewhat weary of having (literally) all of the music ever available digitally at the touch of a button and want something a bit more solid to engage with. That's where we're coming from anyway.
We call ourselves a journal rather than a magazine because we're very in-depth and I guess very sincere in how we write about music. We live in the age of distraction and disposability and I think that's such a tiring thing for a lot of people. I think the NME, to use your example, tried somewhat desperately to embrace that, whereas I guess we're trying to be the antithesis to it. I'm not saying either is correct or of more value, but I still think there's a space for something that asks you to pause and slow down and step away from a screen.
You've been online for some time. What does the newer print edition add to the project?
Gold Flake Paint is ten years old in May of this year, which is horrifying and amazing in equal measure. It was only online for most of that time. I guess it was a 'music blog' but also not quite that. We were always more drawn to telling stories and writing long, weighty features so we've never sat in a natural place, I don't think, which is why producing a physical publication always felt right?
I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just felt like the work we did online was better suited to that medium, where we could be a bit more creative with the design and photography and layout, etc. I'd wanted to do something in print for a long time and then, in the summer of 2018, it just felt like we were in the best place to do give it a shot, for a whole number of reasons.
Success, for us, was selling out issue one in five days. That has given us enough belief and goodwill for, like, the rest of time. And we also just won a Scottish Magazine Award, which as a truly independent publication, we're very proud of.
Things definitely changed when we suddenly had to rely on Gold Flake Paint to be financially successful, which feels like the hardest thing in the world. We really believe in what we do and we really want to succeed. Not necessarily for financial reasons, but just because we think these stories we share should be heard and loved and cherished. Relying/wishing on people to part with their hard-earned cash to make that success a reality is a weird thing to navigate.
What's going to be the highlight of your coming week?
Sending issue five to print! It's been a particularly long and bumpy ride this time around so it's going to be a big relief to finish it and get it to the printers. Also the new season of Always Sunny is on Netflix.

Shakespeare® Contender® Spinning Reel is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 13.
Rated 5 out of 5 by alj_80033 from Exceeds expectations Bought the Shakespeare Contender for 9.99. In the 2 months I've owned it,it has blown away the 179.00 Daiwa it replaced. The bail opens and closes with a crisp pop. The gear ratio (6.2:1 I believe) makes for fast retrievals and the drag is very good. For the price, this reel is way above what I expected. I wish I would have bought a few more.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Blank from $5+ cheaper than other manufacturers comparables. I notice an improvement over the older contenders. It is a hair noisy and a very slight vibration is transferred into the rod compared to a President or a 310 but for $30 less than those models its not fair to compare. Everything works fine and it handles 4lb trilene beautifully. One of the best $20 reels available.
Rated 2 out of 5 by zzggyy from Not the best I bought 2 of these specifically to use for trolling for crappie with 6# test line. Overall the reels are decent considering the price, but they suffer one fatal flaw. The line frequently slips off of the bail line roller & jams between the end of the roller & the bail arm. I tried tightening the screw holding the roller in place to see if it would tighten the gap at t he end of the roller, but it seems to have had little effect.

8:07am - I feel as though the day began without me. Like I was left at the starting line with my engine sputtering. I continued to feel this way until 2:45.
3:55pm - SURPRISE! Ike has worms! How *awesome* is that??? Ugh.
5:00pm - leave the house to take the girls to Elizabeth's slumber party and for the rest of us to bring the chicken pot pie over to Dr. Ayers' house for dinner.
Chandler: Oh, no! I forgot the card that I made for Elizabeth!!!!
Me: Did you bring the card and giftcard that we bought at the store?
Me: The one that Dad just took you to buy on the way home.
Chan: I don't even know what happened to that.
Chris: What do you mean? You carried it in the house.
Chan: Well, um, I don't know.
Me: Do you have it with you or not?
5:35pm: stop to get gas.
5:50pm - arrive at Dr. Ayers' house...have a most enjoyable evening...Quinn could have been better...but he also could have been worse. Chicken pot pie? Outstanding. As usual. My husband is the best cook in the world.
8:06pm - realize that it is going to take forever and a day to get home. Saturday is a home game for UGA and the parties have started.
As a side note...Quinn slept until almost 8am. I think the girls have been waking him up at the crack of dawn.
Also, I have determined that the reason I ever have any pictures to share anymore is because I never take them. Because now I am back at work. And a side effect of that is....no more pictures.

Q: .vbs script permission - 80070005 I'm having a permissions problem while running a .vbs script.  The script is to add new user accounts from an receptionist's computer.
The script gets hung up on the line:
objUser.SetInfo

this is where it is actually setting the attributes and writing to the user account.
I know it's a permissions problem.  I have tried running the script as a "top level" admin where permissions shouldn't be an issue, but I still get the error 80070005.  It doesn't make a difference if I run it from a domain controller or workstation - same error.
I have created a simple 3 line script to create a user object to test my theory - and even the 3 line script fails on the objUser.SetInfo line.
What can I do to easily have this script run from a domain joined computer (administrative assistant's, or a receptionists)?

A: The 8007 (which is actually 0x8007) indicates it's a COM error, and the 0005 means Access denied. This is a rights issue; you need to run your script as Administrator. Since it's unlikely that a receptionist or administrative assistant is the Administrator (at least I hope that's not the case), you probably aren't going to be able to do so.
For more information, search Google for vbs 0x80070005, which turns up multiple results.


Each of us has the plague within him; no one, no one on earth is free from it. And I know too that we must keep endless watch on ourselves lest in a careless moment we breathe in someone's face and fasten the infection on him. What's natural is the microbe. All the rest – health, integrity, purity (if you like) – is a product of the human will, of a vigilance that must never falter. The good man, the man who infects hardly anyone, is the man who has the fewest lapses of attention. And it needs tremendous will power, a never-ending tension of the mind, to avoid such lapses.
"You won't do your case any good by talking," my lawyer had warned me. In fact, there seemed to be a conspiracy to exclude me from the proceedings; I wasn't to have any say and my fate was to be decided out of hand. It was quite an effort at times for me to refrain from cutting them all short, and saying: "But, damn it all, who's on trial in this court, I'd like to know? It's a serious matter for a man, being accused of murder. And I've something really important to tell you." However, on second thought, I found I had nothing to say. In any case, I must admit that hearing oneself talked about loses its interest very soon.
The city is in ruins, not still smoldering but that feeling there, the sky bright, endless, the depth terrifying and clear. There is nothing. And it is a good thing. Yes, a good thing. It is not that people haven't been lost. They have. They are distant and gone. There is a gap from that. But not as much as would be expected. The screams have gone, not from dying, but the drunkenness, the all-knowingness, the certitude banged up against in the street, dumb-eyed, suddenly stopped, turning. There is none of that. The quiet is sure. It is a free place, drifted to, away and alone, the climb to the top, the twist through the shoulders, feet firmly planted, hands tight, watching, clear-headed, almost happy with nothing on TV but Gilligan, too poignant, verging on Camus. But the funny thing is I feel good, too good. And I know I should feel guilty about that.
One of the keys to the success of Stephen King's The Shining is the revelation that the main character, Jack Torrance, is going mad: All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy. The manuscript on which Jack has been working throughout the story contains this same phrase written again over hundreds of pages and is an excellent device to convey his lose of touch with reality. And it this very device that seems to have been plagiarized from Albert Camus' The Plague in which Grand's emotional imbalance is realized late in the narrative when Dr. Rieux reads over a manuscript of 50 pages documenting the same phrase again and again:One fine morning in May, a slim young horsewoman might have been seen riding a glossy sorrel mare along the avenues of the Bois, among the flowers… And while the purpose – and indeed content – is quite different, the device is not. The repeated phrase – a secret held from the reader and all other characters – is only revealed late in the story as a surprise to all. Did King acknowledge his source? Did he give credit to Camus?
Or does he, like so many of the writing workshop gurus, rely on the specious credo that all writers steal from each other. I, for one, am not buying it.

Cork & Rind: A Curated St. Charles Hybrid Wine and Cheese Shop2019-03-072019-03-07https://www.alivemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/logo-header.pngAlivehttps://www.alivemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/corkrind1-min-e1551943654783.jpg200px200px
By showcasing hand-crafted, small-production wines and cheeses, this shop in historic midtown St. Charles elevates artisan products while expanding its customers' palates. Most importantly, it does it all with an uninhibited sense of discovery that makes every shopping trip a mini-adventure.
Owners Michael and Elizabeth Kinney opened Cork & Rind four years ago to highlight companies whose wines aren't produced on a large scale and might not be found in other stores in the area: family-owned businesses, estate-grown grapes and wineries using organic or biodynamic methods in their vineyards. They've sourced hundreds of wines (plus spirits and craft beers) that fit into their vision.
The tasting room can be enjoyed on a walk-in basis for à la carte snacks and drinks. Or you can purchase a tasting board—a selection of cheeses paired with either wines, beers or whiskeys. Groups of more than six are encouraged to make reservations. For those who want to go deeper into the world of wine and cheese, Cork & Rind offers one-hour crash courses, as well as in-depth traditional classes, and a wine club that includes exclusive, club-only tastings.
