Reese Witherspoon's new book shows just how powerful she is. I'm obsessed
What, like it's hard?

The first time I remember wanting to be Reese Witherspoon when I grew up, was not, actually, seeing her as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, when she endeared herself to millions of teenage girls and became a Hollywood A-lister after years in the business.
Nor was it her perfect turn in Election, which gave rise to a type of intense, Type-A blonde lady that she would return to again and again who seemed to be telegraphing, prior to her stating it regularly in speeches herself(Opens in a new window), that ambition is not a dirty word.
As best as I can recall, my idolization of her began in about 2004, when Paris Hilton was sweeping the nation and women were, once again, famously playing dumb. Witherspoon was having none of it.
SEE ALSO: Reese Witherspoon had a glorious response to these new 'Big Little Lies' photos
The actress doubled down and gave a similar spiel about playing to the top of your intelligence at the MTV Movie Awards(Opens in a new window) a few years later, among many other appearances.
Quotes like this are commonplace today among celebrities (as they should be!), but that was so not the Hollywood playbook 15 years ago. That Witherspoon so consistently discussed her ambitions and goals was gratifying and electric to me in high school. As she's clearly gotten more and more comfortable with owning it, it's been a thrill to continue to watch -- and to see how many more women are now joining her.
Witherspoon's now presumably enjoying a lot of praise for all she's built over the last several years: her production company, Pacific Standard Films; her content company, Hello Sunshine; her clothing line, Draper James; her still-flourishing acting career (Big Little Lies); her Direct TV channel devoted to inspiring and lifting up women; her popular book club; her Crate & Barrel tie-in home-wear line, etc.

It's a treat to see all those pieces she's worked on come together in her new book, Whiskey in a Teacup: What Growing Up In the South Taught Me About Life, Love and Baking Biscuits.
The book, which dropped last week, isn't a typical memoir of her Hollywood years. It's a loving ode to her Southern upbringing, and the traditions and places that made her who she is.
In it, Witherspoon discusses her love of Dolly Parton and Kate Middleton, why a cake dish is the best wedding gift ever ("Cake plates remind you of fun times and good things. No one is depressed when they see a cake plate"), and why you really should be monogramming your towels.

But while any Reese-iphile (that's a thing, right?) will enjoy flipping through this perfectly instagrammable lifestyle tome for old pics and anecdotes from the actress, a big treat for long-time fans is seeing how each venture she's undertaken over her career clearly feed into each other to create something larger.
"A big treat for long-time fans is seeing how each venture she's undertaken over her career clearly feed into each other to create something larger"
It's powerful. It's ambitious. And I couldn't get enough.
For example, there is a chapter about how to throw the perfect book club party. Fun!
That section tells fans all about how Witherspoon was a big reader growing up. She then lays out her perfect book club meeting menu, which includes red and white wine (a woman after my heart!), baked brie, hot spinach-artichoke dip, an olive medley and a good cheese plate.
I'm thrilled to report the spinach-artichoke dip is delicious. But it doesn't end with just a yummy app.
Did you know that Witherspoon has a very successful book club on Instagram? And also it has now taken off and partnered with Audible(Opens in a new window)? And her production company is working on adapting some of these Book Club novels she touts into inevitably award-winning series? (See: Little Fires Everywhere, mentioned in Whiskey in a Teacup as a recent fave, coming soon to Hulu.)
She's dominating every part of the game! Witherspoon's an entrepreneurial badass and I can't wait to see what's next.
This charmer of a book shows the fruits of her labor all strung together. You can view, in gorgeous typeface and swoon-worthy photos, each thing she's built over her career and the steps she's taken to continue to grow it. It's inspiring AF -- even if, apologies Reese, I'm never, ever going to monogram anything.

The Maryland Public Service Commission met this morning to approve an implementation of Electric Vehicle Charging Program Offerings by BGE, Pepco and Delmarva Power. Among other things, it will provide rebates for residential charging stations and sets the rate for utility-owned public charging stations at $0.18/kWh for Level 2 and $0.34/kWh for DC Fast Charging.
52-81% of US apartment dwellers with BEVs rely solely on public charging according to a Jan. 2019 report. Reliability is critical for these folks. I spoke to the Commissioners today to stress the need for better accountability for companies that use public or ratepayer funding to provide EV charging. [Link to YouTube Video]
Here's a transcript of those remarks.
Joint Utilities Compliance Filing Regarding Implementation of Approved Electric Vehicle Charging Program Offerings. Case No. 9478.
My name is Lanny Hartmann. I drive an electric car. I appreciate the opportunity to make a few comments from an EV driver's point of view.
I want to focus on one segment of people who drive battery-only electric cars and don't have access to charging at home or at work and who rely solely on public EV charging.
The proposed flat rate of 34 cents per kWh [for DC fast charging] is in a range that I think is fair. I'd point out that the cost to use a Tesla Supercharger is only 28 cents per kWh. And Tesla delivers a very reliable service at that price.
Customers of utility-owned chargers need to have a high degree of confidence that they can rely on them. Otherwise, this pilot won't succeed.
There was an article Saturday in the Carroll County Times about this EV charging program. There's a quote from BGE about the maintenance of the chargers saying, "BGE is being held to the same reliability standards as our electric distribution system, so they must be operational at all times."
The Other Barn in Oakland Mills Village, Columbia, MD
The Columbia Association has installed a Level 2 electric vehicle charging station in the Oakland Mills Village Center in Columbia, Maryland. It is located at 5851 Robert Oliver Pl., behind The Other Barn, which serves as the Oakland Mills Community Center.
This is the sixth EV charging location installed by the Columbia Association since they began their EV charging initiative in February, 2013. The other CA locations with EV charging are Owen Brown Community Center, Columbia Gym, Supreme Sports Club, Athletic Club (2), and Long Reach Tennis Club (2).
Columbia Association still needs to post signage at this EV charging station. This will bring it into alignment with the Howard County Anti-ICEing ordinance allowing police to ticket violators.
The price to use this station is $0.20 per kWh and you need a ChargePoint account to initiate a session.

Kill Devil Hills Tesla Supercharger at Harris Teeter Grocery Store (photo by Laurie Y.)
Beach goers to the Outer Banks of North Carolina now have a Tesla Supercharger in Kill Devil Hills.
In the past, Tesla drivers who visited the Outer Banks had few choices to recharge. Some used the NEMA 14-50 outlets at the local RV campground. Others plugged in to a 120v outlet during their stay in order to make it back to the Norfolk, VA Supercharger. In 2015, Tanger Outlets installed Level 2 charging stations, the first public EV charging on the Outer Banks. Recently, Tesla destination charging has been growing in the OBX including at the Outer Banks Brewing Station.
The eight stall Supercharger is located in the parking lot of the Harris Teeter grocery store at 2012 S Croatan Hwy near milepost 9.5 on the U.S. Hwy 158 bypass.
The Kill Devil Hills Supercharger has been powered up for about a week but it's now officially on the Tesla Navigation screen.

Electric Vehicle charging stations are being installed in the parking lot of Walmart in Columbia, Maryland. There's a permit to install 12 charging stations and 3,000 Amp service at the Walmart at 6405 Dobbin Rd, Columbia, MD according to records from Howard County Department of Inspections, Licenses & Permits.
Trenching has begun and equipment is already on site ready to be installed. Crates are labeled "CHAdeMO" and "CCS." This is likely going to be an Electrify America site. Walmart is a partner with Electrify America although Columbia Maryland is not mentioned on their map of planned locations.
Thanks @BraveRock for the tip. Stay tuned for updates.
Planned Sites
May 21, 2019 May 21, 2019 Lanny
A Tesla Supercharging Station is under construction in the parking garage for the Hotel at Arundel Preserve in Hanover, Maryland. There is equipment on site for eight urban-style Supercharger stalls on the third floor of the garage along the northwest side.
Garage Also Has Level 2 Charging
This garage has ChargePoint Level 2 charging stations on the ground floor that have been there since February, 2012. The original ChargePoint equipment was recently replaced.
Close to The Boring Company Dig Site
This Supercharger is less than a mile north of the Boring Company site that Governor Larry Hogan visited in October, 2017 where digging will reportedly occur for the DC to Baltimore Loop tunnel.
The Tesla "Find Us" web page shows that a Supercharger is targeted to open in Hanover, MD in 2019. Tesla also has a Supercharger under construction in Riverdale Park, MD that appears to be close to being finished. Stay tuned.

Individually Billed EV Charging for Multi-Family Housing
A large portion of the population in the US lives in multi-unit housing such as an apartment or condo. The parking arrangements in these communities can make it difficult to install a dedicated electric vehicle charging station. Some states have Right to Charge laws that make it easier to get approval for putting in charging equipment from their Condo or HOA board.
SemaConnect now offers an option to help property managers of multi-unit housing to offer dedicated personal charging stations to residents. SemaConnect's new Series 5 Personal Charging Station is designed to be used by EV drivers that have a dedicated parking space in a multi-unit housing community. The unit supports electricity metering and billing directly to the EV driver. Property managers can now supply EV charging and get reimbursed for the electricity and service used by residents.

The Four Presidents on Mt. Rushmore Look Upon a More Sustainable Future
Mount Rushmore National Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota will have the second largest solar installation in the state. The new Thomas Jefferson Solar Canopy was installed by park concessioner Xanterra Travel Collection which operates the parking facility. The photovoltaic array on the top level of the parking structure will generate over half of the electricity used by the gift shop and restaurant at Mount Rushmore. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Earth Day, April, 22, 2019.
Six electric vehicle charging stations are planned to be installed within the next month. Tesla donated three Tesla chargers and three universal Level 2 charging stations that will be free for visitors to use. There is a fee to park at Mount Rushmore National Memorial which is valid for the calendar year issued.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells, EV Tax Credit & Electric School Bus Bills Advanced
The 90-day Maryland lawmaking session adjourned yesterday at midnight. PlugInSites has been tracking over a dozen electric vehicle related bills in Annapolis since the General Assembly convened in January. Three of them managed to pass both chambers and are headed to Governor Hogan to sign.
The Clean Cars Act of 2019, HB 1246, was a collaboration between Governor Hogan's Administration and Delegate David Fraser-Hidalgo. It will expand the state's efforts to support Zero Emission Vehicles to include Hydrogen Fuel Cell cars. The role of Maryland's Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Council (EVIC) will begin to include promoting the utilization of fuel cell electric vehicles as well as plug-ins. The council will be renamed the Maryland Zero Emission Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Council (ZEEVIC).
ChargePoint Loses Appeal in EV Charging Patent Case
March 28, 2019 March 28, 2019 Lanny
Federal Appeals Court Upholds Ruling in Favor of SemaConnect
Today, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld the decision of a lower court in a dispute over an EV charging patent case brought by electric vehicle charging company ChargePoint, Inc. of Campbell, CA against a competitor, SemaConnect, Inc. of Bowie, MD.
Just over one year ago, Judge Marvin J. Garbis, of the U. S. District Court in Baltimore dismissed a lawsuit brought by ChargePoint that alleged that SemaConnect had infringed four patents in the area of networked electric vehicle charging stations. The lower court judge found all of the patent claims asserted by ChargePoint were invalid.
The judge had agreed with SemaConnect's defense that the patents were invalid because the claims were drawn to an abstract idea, and the method of implementing those claims was not enough to transform the abstract idea into a patent-eligible invention.
VW Settlement
Annapolis, MD Supercharger is Open
The Annapolis, MD Supercharger at Annapolis Towne Centre is now officially on the map. It's located on the second floor of the parking garage at 217 Harker Place across from Target.
Annapolis fills the gap between the Laurel Supercharger and the Tesla Supercharger in Grasonville, which is at a Royal Farms on the eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Construction on the Tesla Supercharger in Annapolis began in May, 2018. The installation has, by all outward appearances, been completed since last summer. The site took many months to finally come online. The Anne Arundel County Department of Inspections and Permits website (Permit No. E02332269) shows records of a long delay between a successful progress inspection on June 18, 2018 to a series of failed final inspections recorded between July 17, 2018 and March 4, 2019.

Q: Splitting the parameter in a batch file multiple times Sample batch execution:
test.bat /s v1.1 1,3,4,5

I want to split the parameter into three tokens using space as a delimiter. The result should be:
1st token = /s
2nd token = /v1.1
3rd token = 1,3,4,5
Then the 3rd token will be split again using comma as a delimiter
The code below splits the arguments using common delimiters such as space, comma, etc.
@ECHO OFF

SET PARAMS=

:_PARAMS_LOOP

SET PARAMS=%PARAMS%%1
ECHO %1
SHIFT

IF NOT "%1"=="" GOTO _PARAMS_LOOP

Execution:
test.bat /s v4.1 1,2,3,4

Result:
/s
v4.1
1
3
4
5

I just want to use space as a delimiter, then in the 3rd token(1,3,4,5) I will split it again using comma as a delimiter and echo each of it.

A: The issue is that cmd recognizes a space, tab, comma, semicolon, or equals sign as command line delimiters unless they are wrapped in doublequotes.

Delimiters
Some characters in the command line are ignored by batch files,
  depending on the DOS version, wether they are "escaped" or not, and
  often depending on their location in the command line:

*

*commas (",") are replaced by spaces, unless they are part of a string
  in doublequotes

*semicolons (";") are replaced by spaces, unless they
  are part of a string in doublequotes

*"=" characters are sometimes
  replaced by spaces, not if they are part of a string in doublequotes

*the first forward slash ("/") is replaced by a space only if it
  immediately follows the command, without a leading space

*multiple spaces are replaced by a single space, unless they are part of a
  string in doublequotes

*tabs are replaced by a single space

*leading spaces before the first command line argument are ignored

  I know of several occasions where these seemingly useless "features" proved very
  handy. Keep in mind, though, that these "features" may vary with the
  operating systems used.
More on command line parsing can be found on the PATH and FOR
  (especially FOR's interactive examples) pages.

The Momentum Knysna Forest Half Marathon rounds off the Maserati BIG5 Challenge.
10 Days, 5 Events and 1 Race came to a nail-biting end today as competitors in the Maserati BIG5 Challenge raced each other and the clock in the final event of the Challenge, the Momentum Knysna Forest Half Marathon.
After completing a mountain biking, open-water swimming, trail running and an MTB X course over the past 10 days competitors were relieved to only have a 21km run between them and the title of Maserati BIG5 Challenge Finisher.
In the Men's race the main dual was between Bradley Weiss and Keegan Cooke for the overall title with Bradley taking it in an accumulative time of 7:21.05. The Women's Category saw the leader board change multiple times during the 10 days of the competition with Vicky van der Merwe pipping Kate Dodds at the post to claim the overall title with a cumulative time of 8:37.52.
Make this your 2018 bucket-list, must-do mulitsport event and start training now for the 2018 Maserati BIG5 Challenge.

Italy is considering extending until Jan. 31 next year its state of emergency over the COVID-19 crisis, two national newspapers said on Thursday.
The emergency, set to expire in mid-October, gives the government greater powers, allowing officials to more easily bypass the bureaucracy that smothers much decision-making in Italy.
Dailies Il Messagero and Corriere della Sera said a cabinet meeting discussed the issue late on Wednesday.
"It is not official yet.. while at first (the government) talked about pushing it back to Dec. 31, during the meeting (the government) considered going beyond the end of the year, given that the cohabitation with the virus is destined to go on for a long time still," Il Messaggero said.
UK Government Vows 'to Consult Parliament' on COVID-19 Restrictions After Tory Revolt


Within every community you'll find people who like to nitpick things. A nitpicky thing among peak bagging enthusiasts is the true identity of the highest peak in Nevada. Some call it Wheeler Peak at 13,063 feet (see my Great Basin trip report for a description of that hike), but others declare it to be Boundary Peak, coming in at 13,140 ft.
"But Rebecca", you might ask, "Boundary is higher – what's the argument"?
Well, Boundary is one of a set of twins, neighbor to the higher Montgomery Peak. Despite being so close, Montgomery rests in California, the border between the two states running right between the peaks. If Boundary were not a state high point it might be considered a mere bump on the way to Montgomery, with only 300 ft of prominence. And in some circles, that's not enough to qualify you as a 'real' peak.
Now that I've climbed them both I don't really care about the answer. But to avoid the debate I'll simply refer to Boundary as the highest POINT in Nevada, not the highest PEAK. I'll let you decide for yourself based on whatever criteria you deem important.
Just need the logistics? Get the details here.
Boundary Peak has two common routes, one from the east (Trail Canyon) and another from the north (Queen Mine). We climbed via the Queen Mine route on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend in a very low snow year. I specifically mention that it is a low snow year (2013) for people who may stumble across this report in the future. Most years it will not be this dry. In fact, we climbed without any snow gear. There was only one spot where traction devices would have been nice, but not necessary. We also got a good peek into the Trail Canyon route so I'll try to offer some opinions on that route.
The Queen Mine road is accessed from highway 6, about 9 miles east of Benton, CA. As you cruise along this desert highway, look for the rotting remains of an old brothel, Janie's Ranch, on the north side of the road. There is a water tank with the initials "JR" painted on the side. Take the dirt road to the south as it climbs into Queen Canyon. There are several old mining roads wiggling around the hills, but most are overgrown and there are no confusing junctions – the main road is obvious. You'll pass some wooden building ruins lower in the canyon, but continue on for a total of about 6 miles from pavement to the ruins of the Queen Mine.
A word on the road conditions: We were in a 4×4 pickup truck and it was easy peasy to the Queen Mine. A friend in a 2WD pickup also did fine, but had to take it slower and had some problems on the steeper sections. I would have been fine taking my Outback. That said, there were several places where we could see washouts happen regularly, and this road could easily deteriorate into nastiness. It may have been fine last week, but one storm could make things much different. Use your own judgement.
From the Mine, there is an additional mile of driving up to a saddle next to Kennedy Point. This section gets steeper, has a tight switchback, and is a bit offcanter. We left the 2WD truck at the Mine and drove the Tundra up to the saddle. If you doubt your vehicle's ability or if being offcanter makes you uncomfortable, you can park at the mine and walk the extra mile and ~700 feet gain.
The saddle is wide and open with plenty of room to maneuver, park, and turn around. There was a large firepit, and although it would be a cool place to camp the wind must blast through there. There are additional campsites down in the canyon that are much more protected.
From parking, follow the old road up the slope to an old wooden trailhead information sign. With, uh, no information. Pick up a trail behind the sign. The trail switchbacks about a thousand feet up to a relatively flat and pleasant ridge. Look for wild horses – we saw several – and deer.
Upon gaining the ridge you'll have your first view of Boundary Peak. The peak is rather striking, especially with some snow, and after getting lulled into the mindset of a pleasant stroll the view might jar you a bit. In fact, here is the view – click for larger.
This is the best view you'll get of the entire route since as you get closer the view of the actual peak will be blocked. Here is a cropped version of the above picture with the route roughly drawn. The route contours around the backside of the bump in the middle (arrow points to where the route is out of view).
Eventually the pleasant walk along the ridge ends at Trail Canyon Saddle at about 10,800 ft. There is a windblock made of old logs and rocks, so take a moment to hydrate and fuel up for the climb ahead. You have about 2300 more feet to go to the summit. The easy trail you've been following until now quickly deteriorates into several use trails, but sticking to the most worn track worked for us.
It climbed and then switchbacked up the slope.
In order to avoid unnecessary climbing over the intermediate bump shown on the route image above, the main use trail cuts over to the ridge to the right, then contours around the bump's backside and rejoins the ridge. We had a few snow fields to cross but nothing that was sketchy. Once on the ridge we were rewarded with a much closer view of Boundary – the summit is in sight again. This ridge is at about 12,000 ft. A little over 1100 ft to go to the summit.
The well worn use trail continues along the ridge until a pile of larger boulders blocks the way. The use trail goes to the right of the pile, and then gets a bit lost in the boulders. Because snow was partially obscuring the terrain and I didn't feel comfortable crossing beneath the loose rocks, I scrambled up to the ridge. From here I lost any specific use trail and just continued along the ridge. The terrain is easy going and there are lots of use trails wiggling along the ridge.
Boulder pile – staying on the ridge is better than following the trail, in my opinion.
Just before the summit there is one last large boulder pile to negotiate. The rock was too big to scramble over, so I looked for a place to go around. There were snow fields on either side, and they were still iced over. I have a feeling this is probably pretty easy with a use trail when not snowy, but no matter what I had to make an uncomfortable snow crossing. I went to the right side of the large boulder, tightly hugging the rocks and using iced over footprints from previous climbers. After a limbo maneuver around the final rock I was free and clear of the obstacle and the summit was in sight just ahead.
The final stretch to the summit is an easy walkup. The summit has plenty of room for people and we spent about 45 minutes admiring the view and reading through the register. It finally got a bit too cold for us so we headed back down, retracing our steps to the saddle.
It took us almost nine hours to do this ~8.5 mile hike to the summit of Boundary Peak. However, our time is based strongly on the fact that this was the first time any of us had been above 10k since October. We moved slow on purpose to prevent over-exertion and to listen to our bodies. We stopped frequently to make sure we were eating and staying hydrated. If I climbed this in, say, September, after a summer in the Sierra I would move much faster. So, take my round trip time with a grain of salt.
From the summit of Boundary, Montgomery is accessibly via a class 3-ish ridge. I've heard this is a fun scramble and would have liked to have included it in our climb. However, with our speed (see above) we didn't have the time to add on the extra few hours of climbing. There was also still a bit of snow on the ridge and we did not bring along crampons or other mountaineering gear. Finally, while sitting on the summit of Boundary we heard a rockfall from the slopes of Montgomery. That put it firmly in the 'NOT TODAY' category. That said, I'd love to get back here someday later in the season when I'm stronger, used to altitude, and the route is clear.
It looked loose and awful. We met a couple of climbers coming from this direction and they did not seem to happy with the slog up the chute. I don't know what the advantage is to coming in this way – maybe the road is better for more vehicles? I don't know. But I don't think I'd come in this way.
Peering down the Trail Canyon route from the ridge.
> It looked loose and awful.
Yes, the Trail Canyon variant that you are looking at is an endless loose sandy slog up to the ridgetop. Not a particularly enjoyable route- though the access road was easily traversable in a 2wd vehicle.
Great write-up. It will help with my trip this weekend. Thanks!
Just got back to PA after a successful climb of Boundary led by Rick Hartman as part of Cops on Top. We took the Queen Mine Route – much better than the Trail Canyon Route! I cannot believe that the guide books do not even mention the Queen Mine Route!
Awesome! Glad it worked out for you, and yes, I don't think I'd ever go that Trail Canyon route!
Calipidder, thank you very much for your detailed description! We carried it with us when we hiked Boundary Peak last Friday, Aug 2, 2013. It was a warm sunny day with hardly any wind, so we didn't have any trouble, even coming from Tampa FL with only 5 days in the Sierras to adjust to higher elevations. We took the Queen Mine route and made it up in 3 1/2 hours, back down in 2 1/4 hours. On the first big boulder pile about 1000′ below the summit, we skirted left and hit a few small patches where the rocks starting sliding when we stepped on them, so on the way down we skirted on the opposite side, which was better. Didn't see anyone else all day, but did see 1 wild horse and 2 deer. On the western horizon was a thick layer of smoke from the Aspen fire in the Sierras that's been going on for the past few weeks.
Congrats on the successful summit! The deer and horses were amazing.
Just did this on 31-May-2016. It is very easy when most of the route is snow covered, so I recommend it early this year. The drive up to Queen Mine is easy with most vehicles, but 4WD is definitely advisable for this road. Our vehicle could have made it to the saddle, but I wanted my teenage son to get a longer route under his belt, so we hiked up the steep road. Overall a great experience!
Awesome, thanks for the updated report! I remember wondering how that road would change over time – could be anything from a pretty straightforward 2wd drive up to a nasty 4×4 route, so updated conditions are appreciated!
We'll be doing Boundary this Saturday, 10-8-16. Great information here and great photos! Thank you! This looks a lot like Mt. Dana as far as distance, elevation and terrain. Has anyone done both?
How were the conditions this past weekend? We will be doing Boundary this coming weekend 10-15-16.
Thank you for this excellent write up!
Planning on Boundary Peak Nov 11? Any updates on weather or conditions will be appreciated. Are ther any other sites that have current info on Boundary? Thanks.
We did Boundary peak on 10/15. It was pretty dry up there at the time. There was a storm coming in so we had quite a bit of wind.
Hat and gloves (and a buff) for the wind were very nice to have.
I will also say there is still quite a bit of scree / loose stuff even on this route. You may want to consider bringing microspikes to help with that, and any snow that you might encounter. There was no snow when we went, but the microspikes would have helped with the scree. It was nice to have hiking poles too.
If you're renting a car without high clearance…. you won't be able to get up to Queen Mine on the road. We made it to about ~8400 ft and maybe ~1 mile shy of Queen Mine and parked on the side of the road. Very challenging even navigating to that point. Lots of erosion.
Total round trip was ~12.5 miles. Plan for the time it takes to hike the additional distance and elevation if you can't make it to Queen Mine.
Weather on this site below is helpful!!!
Thanks for the updated conditions report!
I was on Boundary Peak on Sunday,Nov 13. The dirt road getting to the old mine site is getting bad. When I say the old mine I'm not talking about the two old decrypted buildings that are split by another road that leads off to the right, but more of a true mine site set into the side of the mountain about a mile past which has a nice flat parking area. I had a 4×4 small Jeep and made it ok but was worried at times. With that being said I have had little experience driving off road. It will take a big storm to make that road impassable without more work being done. It looks like it has been a while since the road was graded. There was a Subaru Outback that was at the mine are when we arrived. We did not try and drive any further then the upper mine, about a mile shy of the saddle and trail head. We got a very late start and didn't start hiking till 9:20. There were four others on the trail and they did summit. We turned around on the false summit. The trail was great until you get to the false summit hill which half way up turns to scree. There was snow on the trail but not much. The group that did summit did not have micro spikes but two did use trekking poles. Beautiful Mountain and day, but we did not see any wildlife.
Thank You for the great information, I do appreciate it!
Thank you for the excellent post. It was helpful in our preparations for a Boundary Peak hike this weekend. You are correct — a Subaru had no problem reaching the saddle (http://moosehikes.com/2017/07/16/boundary-peak/).
It was great to stumble across your blog in our planning. Will definitely be following in the future as I'm a frequent visitor to Bend and the Cascades. Happy hiking!

Hundreds of Chinese iPhone users are believed to have had their Apple IDs compromised
|In Heavy Hitters
|By Chris Udemans
Over 700 Chinese iPhone users have inexplicably had money deducted from their Apple ID-bound payment channels, with the highest being RMB 10,000 ($1,440), according to local media.
Alibaba-owned Alipay, whose users were also affected, said that some Apple IDs were stolen, resulting in financial losses. The company reached out to Apple to find out the reasons for the theft, with Apple responding saying that it is addressing the situation.
Some users received Alipay notifications informing them that purchases had been made in the App Store and Apple Music. The stolen funds were used to purchase lesser-known games and in-app purchases, as well as subscription services. The total amount of money taken varies from a few hundred to RMB 10,000.
Other payment channels that can be bound to an Apple ID include WeChat Pay, debit card, and credit card.
Records show that some users' Apple IDs were used to log into devices other than their own to make purchases. Nonetheless, some users who have attempted to apply for refunds through Apple have been told that reversing the purchases is not possible, even after one user requested assistance from the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee.
While incomplete numbers show that over 700 people were affected, it is possible that this total is higher.
Data security has become an increasingly significant issue in China in the past few years. The country has surpassed the US as the biggest creator of digital data in the world. This can be attributed to the rise of the digital economy and more specifically, online-to-offline (O2O) service platforms that collect data from the internet and offline world.
Most recently, police from Wuxi, Jiangsu Province uncovered a sophisticated network of data brokers that show how complex operating structures are being used to evade law enforcement. The group reportedly trades over RMB 1 million in personal data each data, with members moving to Southeast Asia to avoid capture and punishment.

Once again boxing judges failed to declare the proper winner and once again Mauricio "El Maestro" Herrera was the victim of poor judging this past Saturday in Las Vegas.
All three official boxing judges scored Herrera's fight in favor of Jose Benavidez though most of the media covering the fight saw Herrera a lop-sided winner. It's a disparity that needs to be fixed not only in boxing but in MMA as well.
Sadly it's true. At times there are close fights that a decision could have gone either way, in two Herrera fights he was the busier and more accurate boxer, but was not given credit for connecting to the body.
Through most of the 12 rounds Benavidez leaned against the ropes and allowed Herrera to punch to the body and head. Usually and especially in boxing, this is akin to boxing suicide.
But when then score cards were tabulated judges Dave Moretti saw it 117-111, Eric Cheek 116-112 and Max DeLuca saw it 116-112 all for Benavidez.
The crowd and the media were stunned by the scoring.
Harold Lederman, a former judge who scores for HBO's audience, said it best about the unpopular judgment rendered in Herrera's fight with Benavidez.
The fight had significance because Herrera's promoter Golden Boy Promotions and Benavidez's Top Rank are breaking the ice after a lengthy cold war that saw both companies refusing to pit their heralded fighters against each other. After five years they finally made peace but now the judges are making things difficult.
Most of Top Rank's own team felt Herrera won the fight though none would go on record.
HBO's Kellerman said that Herrera should be enjoying life as a champion at this moment instead of wondering what happened.
"He beat (Ruslan) Provodnikov, he beat Garcia and he beat Benavidez," said Kellerman.
Bob Arum, the head of Top Rank, said he would not oppose a rematch between Herrera and Benavidez. Golden Boy's Oscar De La Hoya was not available for comment. He departed to the MGM Grand where another fight card was taking place simultaneously.
The various boxing commissions need to revamp their scoring methods and scoring systems before public outrage takes further root. Right now, the scoring system has major flaws.

Windrush: Food and Drink
Watch the video to hear first, second and third Windrush generation Leeds residents discussing the role of food in their culture and the of culinary traditions in their lives.
The Windrush Generation and Food
The Windrush Generation did not only contribute to the economy and culture of Britain, but also to British food. They brought recipes from the Caribbean with them and created spaces to celebrate their culture with food. Caribbean food uses ingredients such as rice, plantain, beans, coconut, cassava, meat and a wide range of spices. Recipes will vary from family to family and food is an important part of life. The Windrush Generation were highly influential in increasing the popularity of Caribbean food in the UK.
Sorrel and black cake are popular throughout the Caribbean as well Black British communities across the UK.
Sorrel is a traditional Christmas beverage. Dried hibiscus flowers — known as sorrel in Jamaica and other parts of the Caribbean – are steeped in boiling water along with ginger and other whole spices such as allspice, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. It is traditionally sweetened with sugar, and rum can be added.
Black cake is a dense, richly spiced fruit cake popular across the Caribbean. Dried fruit is soaked in rum before being mixed into a dark, sweet fruit cake batter. As with all Caribbean cooking, everyone has a slightly different recipe for this cake!
Download the recipes!
Task: Download the recipes for sorrel and black cake and have a go at making them. Remember to share any photos on social media and tag @thegcfoundation! While you make them think about these questions:
Where do most of the ingredients to make the cake come from?
What does the cake smell like as it is being made? How about once it is cooked? What does the smell remind you of and why?
Are there any foods or drinks that are particularly important to your culture?
What roles do food and drink play in different cultures, and what is their role in promoting cultural diversity (think about what your town or city would be like without any foreign food restaurants)?

In Memoriam: Janet Abu-Lughod
Professor Janet Abu-Lughod sociologist, demographer, comparative urbanist, and scholar of world systems also belonged to the first generation of scholars who made possible sound scholarly discussions on Palestine in and beyond the US academy. Along with her colleagues, she acted on two fronts. First, she had to do serious research on the Palestinians, much of which was done from scratch, and present it to a prejudiced or skeptical audience. Second, she participated in many international committees and programs in support of the Palestinians.
The presentation of Palestinian issues in the United States is still difficult and can even be perilous. Indeed, a report published in 1992 in the Chronicle of Higher Education cautiously stated that "to choose to focus your research on a Palestinian subject was not always a wise career move" (Coughlin, 1992: A8). Given this, one can imagine the Sisyphean work that was done in the decades before, which resulted in the creation of some holes in the wall of denial and hostility.
Abu-Lughod made significant contributions to the scholarship on Palestine through her work on the demography of the Palestinians and through deciphering the Zionist settler colonial project. Her demographic research has remained the baseline for any research on the demographic transformation of Palestine in the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries. Moreover it was for many years the basis for programs to empower Palestinians. Most remarkably she, along with her husband and comrade Ibrahim Abu-Lughod, worked on an innovative program supported by UNESCO to establish a Palestinian Open University as a means of educating a scattered nation. Although this program was aborted by the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the groundwork, which Abu-Lughod conducted, remains the basis of demographic research on the Palestinians. She had painstakingly and skillfully constructed a detailed demographic profile of the Palestinians by gathering data from a variety of sources that differed in methodology and the classifications used. The standardization of the data and the construction of a profile of the Palestinian people in Palestine and in exile is a remarkable achievement that can hardly be overestimated.
Abu Lughod's demographic research was not just technical; she employed highly technical methods to present the morality of the Palestinian cause. For example, she began her 1971 article "The Demographic Transformation of Palestine" by asserting the tragedy of the Palestinians in a historical and comparative perspective:
Except for the extermination of the Tasmanians, modern history recognizes no case in which the virtually complete supplanting of the indigenous population of a country by an alien stock has been achieved in as little as two generations. Yet this, in fact, is what has been attempted in Palestine since the beginning of the Twentieth century. Herein lies the nub of the Middle East – at once its greatest tragedy and its most perplexing but inescapable problem.
This article was published in The Transformation of Palestine, probably the first book to be published on Palestine in the United States by a respectable academic publisher, Northwestern University Press. Ibrahim Abu-Lughod edited it.
Besides researching, publishing and teaching, Abu-Lughod participated in many committees on Palestine. Her presentations reflected deep insights and understanding of the nature of the Zionist colonial project. For example, in the fourth UN seminar on the question of Palestine, 31 August – 4 September, 1981 she gave a prescient presentation entitled "Israeli Settlements in Occupied Arab Lands: Conquest to Colony." In this paper she argued that:
During the past fourteen years the Israeli goal has remained to consolidate her hold over the conquered lands and to suppress any resistance. Within this goal, the implanting of multiple centers of Jewish "settlement" has become an increasingly crucial technique in the overall strategy for converting conquest into annexation….To comprehend the meaning of these processes, one must do more than acknowledge the exponential rise in the number of "settlements" and "settlers". One must understand how priorities have shifted over time, how the measures undertaken evolved in adaptation to the particular characteristics of each subarea, and how settlement policies, rather than an isolated set of activities, are related both to similar strategies within Israel and to different activities (such as law, land and water expropriation, collective punishment and military governance) within the occupied areas. To understand these connexions it is necessary to conceive of "conquest to colonization" as involving an entire gamut of means, ranging from brute force and primitive might, at one extreme, to resource deprivation and economic sanctions at the other end, passing through gradations of quasi-legal to "legal" subterfuges. Throughout it is important to bear in mind that while methods vary, the non-negotiable goals remain the same: namely, the incorporation and eventual annexation of the occupied lands.
This analysis is still valid today after thirty-two years, despite endless rounds of "peace talks" and several wars. She pointed out "the relatively underpopulated zone along the Jordan Valley had been, next to the Golan, the most easily colonized of the occupied zones because it, too, had virtually been emptied during the 1967 war." It is rather symbolic and tragic that almost two weeks (on 29 December) after the passing away of professor Abu-Lughod, the Israeli ministerial committee for legislation approved the placing of Israeli settlements and the access road leading to them in the Jordan Valley under Israeli laws; a penultimate move for the annexation of this area.
Given this moral stand—which was not only exhibited in her research on Palestine but in her larger oeuvre that included critiques of Orientalism (the "Islamic city"), of colonialism (urban apartheid in Rabat), of claims about western superiority (Before European Hegemony) and of racism (in her last book, Race, Space, and Riots)—Abu-Lughod compellingly argued against the inclusion of the Palestinians in the literature on migration. She argued in an article in Current Sociology in 1988 that the Palestinian people represent a distinct sociological phenomenon which can neither be grasped through the sociology of migration nor through the ordinary literature on exile. The Palestinians as a nation became exiles, including those who remained in their homeland and homes. The Zionist settler colonial project created in the life of the Palestinians a rift in time and condition which cannot be rectified, she argued, without the return of the refugees and the reconstitution of Palestinian society.
Professor Janet Abu Lughod (1928-2013) is survived by her children: Lila, Mariam, Deena and Jawad; her eight grandchildren, and three great grandchildren.

Iran Focus
Baghdad, Apr. 10 – More than 30 armed agents dispatched from Iran were arrested in the eastern Iraqi province of Diyala, according to sources close to the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin.
Sources said that the 30 agents were mercenaries of the elite Qods (Jerusalem) Force branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps.
"In one incident six individuals, of which five were Iranian and the other was an Iraqi, were apprehended by the Iraqi National Guard at a checkpoint near Maqdadiya in Iraq's Diyala province. Those arrested were carrying light arms and RPG rockets, which they intended to use in operations in Diyala", the opposition source revealed.
"In a separate incident 25 mercenaries carrying out orders from Iran's Fajr Garrison were upheld by Iraqi security forces. A report by runaway mercenaries from the same network sent to the Fajr Garrison, a copy of which was obtained by the Iranian Resistance, said, 'Those who have been arrested had a hand in the assassination of the former Governor of Baghdad. Some of them have already confessed to a number of assassinations in Baghdad during their interrogations", the source added.
Fajr Garrison, alongside Ramazan Garrison, near the city of Kermanshah in western Iran, has for long been an operational base of the Revolutionary Guards and its elite Qods (Jerusalem) Force.

Cambridge, Wis. — Cambridge native Matt Kenseth and Joe Gibbs Racing will be looking for a new primary sponsor after Dollar General announced it would be dropping its partnership following the 2016 season.
In Kenseth's first year with JGR, he finished second in the Sprint Cup standings, only to fall to seventh in 2014, 15th in 2015 and race to a 12th place standing so far in 2016.
Dollar General had increased its sponsorship of Kenseth considerably since joinging JGR in 2013. They sponsored 17 races that year, which increased to 30 each of the past two seasons. There are no immediate plans for Dollar General to sponsor another vehicle in the future.

The Crew Tee is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 31.
Rated 2 out of 5 by rufus from disappointed....been some time since i last bought your tee shirts...quality of material has fallen...style..ie shorter sleeve...does not appeal.In short..will not buy again.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Dcatt from The cotton is poor quality I can't see the t-shirts lasting as long as t-shirts I have bought in the past.When you hold one to a light they are transparent.
Rated 1 out of 5 by JOBr from Sizing of Crew Tee good but quality of garment unsatisfactory. The cotton is far too thin.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Unknown from Size and fit were good but the tshirt is very thin, disappointed with the quality.
Rated 5 out of 5 by juelz from great tee's. bought alot 3x years ago for my plumbing shirt's and still ok till today!! i like the length of them as there not too short and a little taperd in the side's, not like a box-type tee-shirt. Just keep the cut the same and material, dont do any silly change's.
Rated 4 out of 5 by MammadiDavide from Really soft & comfy I bought this for my brother-in-law for Christmas. He wore it soon after, and the next time I saw him he thanked me again for the t-shirt, and said it was "so soft and comfortable... just like Bonds always is". It also fit him just right, so big thumbs up for this tee!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Not me from sizes I bought a pack to see if they would fit but nooooooo, they do not go up to fit real Aussie men. 6XL or bigger, I use size 26 Navy singlets for work but would like a couple of White Crew Tees for under dress shirts. I would recommend these for someone smaller for sure.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Davetoohey from Just a square piece of material Not at all like the Bonds T-shirt I am familiar with. It is just a piece of substandard material that does not breathe and is not shaped to anyone's body. I'll never buy Bonds again!

Ben Stein Warns Country That Ocasio-Cortez's Polices Are Just Like Hitler's And Dems Freak Out
President Richard Nixon's former speech writer Ben Stein think New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Hitler.
The political commentator and actor appeared on Fox Business and made the stunning accusations.
"We have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is promising," he said.
"And it led to mass murder, it led to dictatorship, it led to genocide. These promises are old promises and they invariably lead to bad things," the former host of "Win Ben Stein's Money" said.
"The promise of just saying to the people do what you can within the law to make your life better and your family's life better – that system works extremely well. Capitalism is a system that allows people to make something of themselves instead of oppressing other people. It's an incredibly good system," he said.
"Making money is one of the most of harmless things there is to do in the whole world," Stein argued.
"And that's what our society is about. It's not about ordering people around, putting them concentration camps," he said.
"What do you do if there is a richer or poorer person? What do you do? Do you take him away? Do you shoot him? Well that's what the Communists tried, it didn't work out very well for them," Stein said.
"And at the end of the day we ended up with Russia with one of the most of unequal societies there's ever been in the world," he said.
"In Vietnam, which promised all these things, and we wind up with one of the most of corrupt countries in the world," Stein said.
"In Venezuela, I don't know how corrupt it is but people say it's one of the most corrupt countries in the world. We don't wind up with the promises people made," he said.
