While he sat thinking about what he was going to write about SuperGiant, one of the longest lasting and most beloved local Albuquerque rock bands to pass through the ether and onto the Earth in the vicinity of Albuquerque, New Mexico—part of the quadrant to which he was assigned more by fate than any editor—August March played the classic rock station, number 833, through his television, a Toshiba with great big speakers.
So Billy Joel and then the Wings danced around his ears with stories of conquering the stranger or of the loneliness of the moon. Meanwhile March thought deeply about the signicance of SuperGiant, a quartet that had, much like its namesake, grown and grown to epic proportions as it sought the ultimate starry communion with the sky.
A quartet composed of Jeremy McCollum on guitar, vocalist Joel Rogers, bassist Keith Laffler and drummer Gary Chavez, SuperGiant represents the best of what rock can be in the Duke City: loud, proud and intricate, with deeply melodic vocals, tasty riffs and a propulsive rhythm section that speaks to and of the deep desert at that precise moment when dark becomes life, when cacti turn their flowers to the sun and the sound of the universe erupts everywhere, from each pore and all the surfaces in that drifting, starstrewn environment.
And you know they didn’t get to that place by accident. Years of hard work, constant touring and consequently developing a fan base here and around the country have led SuperGiant to their fifth album, a star-turn called The Tree of Life.
Weekly Alibi met with the members of SuperGiant to get a better idea of what their brightness portends and to find indications of where the road will lead a quartet of rockers who came up in El Burque, gigging as they went, even as their journey to the stars and beyond becomes evident in their music and in their moves.
On Friday April 5, SuperGiant debuts their new disc at Sister; they’ll be distributing copies of The Tree of Life to all who attend.
Weekly Alibi: You guys are stalwarts of the scene. You’ve survived and thrived while many bands have come and gone. What’s the history of the band, how did you come together, for readers who might not be familiar with SuperGiant?
Jeremy McCollum: I acutally started the band with Gary, the drummer. That originally came from an ad in Weekly Alibi, back in the days when people would actually post ads looking for other musicians to jam with. I put an ad in that said, “hey I wanna put a band together.” I didn’t know anyone to start that with. Gary answered and I met him and we jammed.
Joel Rogers: That was late 2005, I came into the fold in 2006, in the summer.
Jeremy: Me and Gary worked together for a while, we tried out a couple of singers and bassists and didn’t find the right match until we met Kyle, our original bassist. He was quite younger than us. He was just kinda a cool kid I’d seen around the metal shows. He fit right in at the beginning. Joel, I believe, joined up last. We played our first show with Weedeater.
They’re like, from North Carolina, right? Swampy stoner rock!
They’re kinda one of the staple stoner rock bands. Back in those days, stoner rock wasn’t a thing—well there was like five people at every show you went to—like it is now.
Yeah, it’s gotten very popular, but now there seems to be a wrestling match going on between the forces of doom and sludge and desert rock and all of the other sub-genres associated with stoner rock. But in the past 4 or 5 years, the popularity level has risen to great heights.
It has, a lot. The favorite bands I used to go see, it was usually just me and three or four other dudes. Occassionally there would be a little bit of a crowd. But it wasn’t like it is today. Weedeater sells out Sister.
Yeah, and Mastodon shows are all the rage.
Stoner rock has gotten a lot more popular, so that’s cool. Now we’ve got a whole festival happening this summer, the Monolith on the Mesa festival.
You guys are playing that. We’re going to cover that festival for our Summer Guide this year, I think.
Joel: Psycho Las Vegas is huge!
So you guys were doing this way ahead of many others.
Joel: But we also don’t like to be pigeon-holed as just stoner rock. We’re not doom, we’re not sludge. We do have elements of stoner rock, but I think it’s more blues-based rock and roll that we do. We do have elements of punk rock also.
And some prog-rock, I think, especially in the themes you all explore.
There’s a lot of things going on in our work, so it’s more an amalgamation of influences that we put together.
I like the old-fashioned hard rock moniker; you guys remind me of some of the classic hard rock bands of the seventies—like April Wine or even mid-career Black Sabbath.
Yeah, it’s pretty heavy and unforgiving. It’s in your face. But most stoner rock—as I know it—is really long and drawn out, drop D with cookie monster vocals.
It’s too bad about the cookie monster vocals. I gotta say, I’d love a lotta metal bands better if they dispensed with that. I’m glad to see bands who have a vocalist who sings. That’s definitely something that you all have, a real melodicism in the vocals.
And on this album in particular, on Tree of Life, I spent a lot of time on the vocal tracks. There are a lot of layers and harmonies. We’re taking things to the next level there. Matthew Tobias, our engineer, helped us produce the album too. He had a lot of great ideas.
Tobias has a fine ear.
He’s a professional drummer, a studio drummer. He’s played on 1500 different albums. He’s got a lot of experience. With him, we were able to take our songs to the next level. He even helped us condense our work.
Jeremy: Before this, we always worked on a shoestring budget. We were very independent, very DIY. But he actually came to two or three of our practices to listen to us, to take notes. He had some excellent input. He went above and beyond to make a really great album.
Joel: It’s important to know that all the bass and the drums on the album are live. Keith nailed his parts. Gary really had to do that too. Then Jeremy can go back in and track everything, if he wanted to get different guitar tones or work on his solos. Obviously, the vocals had to be clean.
So let’s talk a little bit about the results of all that, the album called Tree of Life!
I write all the lyrics and the melodies. It’s a huge departure from our other albums because a lot of our previous work was space-oriented. They really revolved around trips into space, just all these astral things going on in my head at the time. This album, in comparison, is literally grounded. There’s not a space song on the entire record.
It’s introspective. I’ve been through a lot of personal changes in the last 4 or 5 years. So I think, emotionally for me, the album reflects those changes. Lyrically, especially on the title track—my mom had some health issues, there were all sorts of things I was feeling. A lot of this new music is really cathartic. It’s a way for us to get things out, to leave all the responsibilities we have behind us. But there are also some songs on there that are just fun. There’s a song called “Drop Punk,” that’s an homage to punk rock. The album is all over the place.
Jeremy, where’s your guitar playing going on this album?
This is the first album that has an acoustic guitar, on a political song. It’s about society slowly falling apart.
Joel: But it’s also about still finding respite in life from the things we experience every day. In that way the album is celebratory.
But with a massive and listenable sound, right?
Jeremy: Exactly. We’re gonna send this around. We already have a loyal following. We haven’t made a big push in a while.
Joel: We’re planning on doing just that with this album. I really feel like we’ve gotten to the point where we’re accomplished, together. But it’s always going to be a labor of love.

If you regularly go to trade fairs to display your heating units, it’s handy to have a smart system for transporting them. ATAG Heating therefore presented Meilink with this challenge of designing practical, custom ergonomic containers. Thanks to Meilink Chain Solutions, this was achieved without a problem. Because at Meilink, we say: Any challenge, any time.
Then the Meilink specialists went to visit the factory. We took a look at the units and listened to the wishes of the people that display the demonstration units at fairs. Based on that, we designed eleven handy trade fair containers. At first it was about the body, the container itself. Then we received various heating units and custom made the interiors of the containers for those units. Upon ATAG’s request, we designed maximally reusable packaging. ATAG can use these to package their very valuable and fragile demonstration units for trade fairs. These are then transported to the fair in question, unpackaged, repackaged after the fair and then stored at Meilink in Lichtenvoorde. Ready to take on the same logistics route for yet another trade fair, anywhere in the world.
The result? Easy to transport, maximally reusable multiplex containers on wheels. Since multiple demo heaters are shown at once, Meilink made them easy to stack on top of one another. With slots on top into which the wheels of the top container fit perfectly. The practical handles are ergonomically designed and the container itself has a so-called hat structure, making it easy to open and close. Inside, there is enough space for two people to lift the heating unit out quickly. All in all, it’s the perfect way to package and transport demo units with a minimal risk of damage. Trade fair after trade fair.

Two great guys who imbue the principles of Christ in the business. Enough said!
Robert said the service was convenient. The work was nice.

Kenny said the service was good.
Barry said the mechanic was efficient and everyone was friendly and everyone had fresh breath.
As you thank me for my patronage, I thank you for your professionalism and honesty.
I always have a few of your business cards in my vehicle to refer you business.
Not only did Angel and staff provide honest pricing but they were very courteous and efficient in taking care of my vehicle. My car now runs like it did when I first purchased it five years ago .
Worked was done quickly and satisfactory. No BS to try to pad the bill. Felt like I (and my car) were in good hands.
Angel treats everybody like family, won’t sell you anything you don’t need. I’m always impressed with the quality of the work done,no place better.
I feel very confident that my car will receive the inspection and maintenance that it needs, especially due to its age. I feel Angel can be trusted.
Clifton said the staff did a good job.
Best Auto Care in town!
Thank, Angel, for taking good care of my car and keeping it in good running order. You always go above and beyond and we appreciate you!
Karen said the business was nice, quick and also accommodating.

Jagrey said the business did a good job. He also said he would like the business to keep up the good work.

They pick a poor guy to come on stage and he gets to "tap dance" with the help of some bubble wrap.
Campfire Christmas Stories with Choctaw Charlie is back with a new story.
We got to sing some awesome campfire songs like "My Goat Knows the Bowling Scores"

Needlepoint Crafts Can Be A Very Soothing Activity.
Needlepoint crafts is a form of art using thread on canvas to form a design. The design can be very simple or very intricut.
Your finished products can be made into pillows or upholstery. You can also display them on your wall, framed or unframed. They make great Christmas ornaments. You can make very special gifts because people know that you spent a lot of time and effort on their gift. You can make that special friend a purse that she will value for life.
Needlepoint is a very soothing activity. I can spend hours on end working with it and completely forget the time. You can create very attractive objects for your own use. In early American culture, young women commonly created “samplers” which commonly contained a blessing on their homes. This right of passage demonstrated not only the girl’s proficiency in stitching, but her literacy.
This craft is just not for women. Remember one of the great football players, “Rosey” Grier, was an avid needlepointer. Many men love to needlepoint because it gives them a release from everyday tension.
Most popular mesh sizes for canvas include 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24. The most popular size is 14 count canvas. You can get a lot of different colored canvas to work with. You need to decide what your design would look best on. The main color to use is white or cream.
Threads that are used most for stitching are wool, silk or cotton. When you first start out with needlepoint it is best to use your ordinary cotton embrodery thread. It is the most popular thread of choice and the most readly available.
Needlepoint continues to evolve as people use new techniques, threads and add applique. The line between it and counted cross stitch is becoming blurred and new techniques and materials from other forms of embroidery to needlepoint.
There are many kits available today. They include everything to complete your project. You can also buy books at your favorite craft store that have many designs in them. Then all you have to do is buy your thread.
Which ever way you go I know that you will have many hours of fun and relaxation.
If you have any questions or needlepoint crafts ideas please contact me and I will add it to my site.

Andrew Ager’s Führerbunker is a short chamber opera depicting the events leading up to Hitler’s suicide in April 1945. It’s a tautly constructed work in which many short scenes are woven into a seamless and compelling whole. It flies by and its 45 minute length seems even shorter. The score is spare, even brutal, as befits the subject matter. The composer told me he had initially envisioned something Wagnerian but feared that that must descend into pastiche. He made the right decision. So, the piano line is minimalist with elements of serialism and very little support for the singers. It’s a style that has perhaps been largely discarded (in north America at least) but here it was startlingly effective. Perhaps the crappy Tranzac Club piano contributed to the effect!
Last night I went to see Essential Opera’s cheap and cheerful production of Brecht and Weill’s The Threepenny Opera. It was a semi staged production in the relatively small Heliconian Hall. Semi-staged in this case meant sung in costume from music stands with very basic blocking. Accompaniment was by Cathy Nosaty on piano and accordion which actually suited the music pretty well.
The singing was good, sometimes very good. Probably the stand out was Laura McAlpine’s Jenny. Of all the singers on display she was the one who seemed most immersed in the sound world of the piece and could vary style and technique appropriately. Erin Bardua’s Lucy Brown was really quite idiomatic too. The others were more consistently operatic which sounded a bit odd in places but worked surprisingly well in, for example David Roth and Heather Jewson’s rather refined refined and bourgeois Peachums. Obviously this approach also worked for the character who are usually sung operatically; Macheath, Brown and Polly for example. The ensembles were all also very effective.

The Web to Print benefits are very apparent to everyone today and even though businesses realize the advantages – there are Mistaken Drawbacks that either prevent or delay their decision of transiting from the traditional print model to the W2P business model. Some of the common issues that are experienced on the other side of the web to print fence are mentioned below along with explanation to why they are mistaken as being drawbacks and why several businesses today are readily applying these new business models.
Cost is one of the foremost reasons that immensely scare marketers and keep them away from any new application. In case of web2print application the front end costs of interface development, repository development, web2print templates designing, etc is what scares marketers away, however not all W2P solutions are costly. Since a wide range of options are available, they range from some rather inexpensive options that are available off the shelf, to some costly options that are greatly customized and beneficial proprietary oriented solutions.
One good thing here is the fact that the more widely these applications are being used by businesses, the more is the cost dropping down. This is true for both complex applications and especially the off the shelf applications, since more and more marketers are opting for it initially. The growing demand created an explosion of new Web to Print applications being released in the market, driving down prices of previous versions. Marketers that are using print provider hosted interface, especially in case of inventory or retail management, there is no extra cost to pay for at all.
The total cost incurred on setting up a Web to Print system depends upon the complexity of the system, whether it is a simple hosted model, or an ASP or W2P SaaS solution, and whether you are using marketing or printing partner hosting services or deploying the solution in house. What encouraging about W2P is that many of the solutions offered today come with fully customizable Web2Print templates, thus further reducing the cost.
It is essential to known at this point that the initial cost spent on front end of Web to Print are often only the Offset costs, not only in terms of administrative savings but also through incremental savings in price that are volume driven. Depending on the level of sophistication and volume, the higher the volume and sophistication of solution, the earlier is the cost earned back. Since not all companies can generate the required volume the key to achieving the required ROI is to get the complete buy in of the company. Those who plan to get a Web to Print solution require buying it in at all levels of the business, ensuring it gets used by all. One best practice is such a situation is to implement incentive and training programs that involve employees of all levels vested in your new W2P solution before it is actually deployed. This will not only generate the required buy in from all levels of employees, but also the added advantage of getting employees to help in any potential problem that may occur in using the system before it is deployed.
Normally when Web to print applications are discussed hot applications with the likes of customization, one off personalization and decentralized targeted marketing features are discussed. It is important at this point to know that cost justification is all about using web for any kind of print. It can either be a long term offset or a short term digital , presentation folders, labels, corporate identity materials, packaging, large format graphics, etc any thing that requires printing. If you can print it, it is in the output of a web-to-print back end system.
Cost justification of W2P solutions comes not from the complex features but from the ability to automate and streamline daily printing output and ordering.
Making all applications customizable to fit the W2P printing model is not possible. Highly customized documents, in shape, size and content, cannot characteristically fit in the automated, template solution of W2P. however when it is designed once, it is possible to upload to be printed later on whenever-needed basis, even in case when the document is not modifiable.
Packaging is one example, where special requirements, dies variety, etc place challenges that are hard or not possible to be accommodated by an automated system however for those who are into mass efficiency over uniqueness of product, W2P production may offer the desired results.

My journey of caregiving has been filled with so many ups and downs as many caregivers have gone through...It first started with my husband; in the beginning it was wonderful and happy times until he got sick mentally. Throughout our 30-something years, he's battled “bipolar disorder,” and I have gone along his battle each and every day. It affected our finances, our relationships, and at times respect. I had a hard time to get ahead in work, a better paying position, because that meant I couldn’t take off work to help my husband. He’s been in the ward multiple times, and attempted suicide three times. I made him retire early. I became the breadwinner. The one thing that kept me going was my children and my God.
As time went on, he’s gotten a bit better but not healed. He still has anxiety and depression, but is taking medication for life. My parents were getting old at this time, and my mom passed.
We then took care of my dad, who was alone, and continue to till now.... he is 97 years old. I work full-time in a job that pays little, and am a caregiver to both my husband and my dad. I cook for him, clean, wash, take him on errands on a weekend day, take him to the doctors, make any arrangements like medical supplies and miscellaneous calls, etc. My dad has been in and out of emergency and has fallen a lot; he broke one rib and fractured his lower spine. He’s been in and out of hospitals, and nursing care home and assisted living. I take care of any arrangements for him.

Selfie aboard the Kona Honzo. Most days spent building this trail were cold, dark, and wet. Stoked to have a shot that fits that theme.
Selected by Mike Kazimer - Foggy woods, mossy wet rocks, and tall trees - this photo has all the ingredients of a classic Pacific Northwest ride. Bonus points go to Brad Walton for airing into this slippery line aboard a hardtail, and capturing it all in a self portrait.
The Honzo is a sweet ride!
Always amazed and a little jealous of Brad's selfies. So amazed that one guy has such sick skills in building, riding AND shooting it all. Lots of respect for your stuff Brad, keep them coming!
Awesome picture Brad! Are you rolling with plus tires on your Honzo? Can't quite tell, I'm currently building a Honzo and am hoping to roll with Rekon+. Keep up the sick shots man!
the selfie squad strikes again, that is a good one.
"feel the rhythm, feel the ride, get on up, it's freeride time, COOL ROLLINGS!"
@bigburd: Exactly what I was thinking... catch me riding down that slope of death? not likely! "allways remember, your bones wont' break in a bobsled, oh no... they shatter!"
Very cool shot. This is your backyard?
Great shot! Interesting to hear that you're using infrared beam too, I'd imagine that's way more time consuming to setup than a handlebar trigger?
It sure is. However, this isn't the type of feature you can occupy your fingers with other things to do other than hold on.
I'm surprised more people who are looking for an easy/free (if using nikon) setup don't just fire an intervalometer set on the fastest interval possible. Obviously infrared beam is the most accurate but you'd be surprised how accurate the free to use setup can be.
@Matturalistic: wouldn't that result in hundreds of photos? Assuming it has a built in delay as well you could probably knock it down to 20-30 shots. He would have to start the timer, hike back up while keeping time. Drop in and hope you didn't go to early and if you went to late the buffer could be full and you might miss the shot.
@Matturalistic: Intervalometer works for some situations, but not very accurate.
@bradwalton: Hey dude what product are you using to trigger your Nikon? SICK aggro shot, captured it all, even the musty smell of the wet rock I swear.
@guancho-libre: It does, yes. But you only have to use 1! Again not at all ideal, but for people wondering how to do this sort of stuff on a budget, it's a solution. I travel alone a lot for work, and used to use this method to get photos of myself in various places rather than a self timer trail and error!
good job Brad keep up the great work!
1-160! Damn! Fired with a handlebar mount trigger?
I wish the trigger was that simple, but I'm not gifted with multitasking. It's an infrared beam trigger.
@bradwalton: haha that's even better, you used lasers! Really awesome photo.
Never owned a full suspension bicycle, yeah HT!
What a sweet looking line! Nice build, capture and shred Brad!
Great photo, amazing trail. Really well done on both counts.
Hell Yeah Brad!!! Incredible as always!!!
Unbelievable shot! This is your own private home trail?! Can I come visit?
I don't own it and several people have thrown dirt on it. I found the line a few years ago. An hour of steep pedaling to the top from home.

Saturday 13-July Soaring Report: Fun starts in Tonopah !
In three long days my crew and I drove to Wendover NV, about 2450 miles from Acton. I'd hoped to fly the last leg to Tonopah, but the weather said otherwise. We drove on down to Ely (you've read about the record camps from Ely in Soaring), where we got past the heavy haze and cirrus that were present further north. Ely is only around 150 miles out of Tonopah, so we stopped and I launched the Ventus. 95 degrees on the ground at 6000 feet still gives an OK climb rate but it peters out pretty quick at this density altitude; I found a thermal and did the cool-down-then-retract thing.
This country is fantastic and barren. Airports are few and far between, dry lakes are available in only some of the valleys, and the roads are listed as places to land if you really get in trouble (apparently its expected that you can get it down and stopped between the stakes marking the road). Hopefully we'll all avoid such drama this contest. I'm looking forward to the safety briefing as apparently there are more places to land than I could recognize on today's trip. Its really beautiful but extremely rugged, and the clouds are fantastic. Everything is scaled up. The "little" mountains are taller than Mt. Washington, and the big ones are in the 14,000 range still with snow on top.
Practice days are Sunday and Monday, then competition starts on Tuesday. Someone said there are ~20 current or former national champions in the line-up here, and I've already seen 10... Should be quite a race.
Sunday 14-July Soaring Report: P1 in Tonopah !
Monday 15-July Soaring Report: P2 heats up in Tonopah !
Now its getting serious. Another drag race was called for the second practice day, 187 miles. A bit drier so less chance of storms. Less smoke from fires today, and less cirrus. I even loaded with water today. The start is height-limited to 7000 AGL. You have to stay under this altitude for 2 minutes before start. This is all very well when that's above the thermal tops, or when there's a ripping thermal in the start cylinder and you can start by climbing out the top. Real silly when there's lift that goes 5000 ft higher and no lift in the cylinder. Dive down, mill about, then start, and dive for the next thermal on course. Lower than you want to be by 5000 feet !
Stop whining and get going. First thermal is only 7-8 knots, eventually improving but gets me back up to cloudbase near the start of a monster street. Cruise at 110 knots, pull up in lift. If I can climb straight ahead at better than 7 knots I slow up a lot, otherwise just keep pounding along. Follow the street most of the way to the first turn. SN10 says average 101 mph as I round the first turn, of course the 20 knot tailwind helped. Cross the streets, try to stay high, second turn, ooops, those mountains are starting to fill the canopy again. Should dive at the rocks but I wimped out and circled in 6 knots. Run another street back towards home, diverting away from course to stay under the street. Why ? Because I've managed to line up the sink street when I didn't do that. Wimped out and flew too slow, then overcooked the final glide. Last 25 miles at redline. Arrived too high in lots of traffic, so after finish I pull up and climb out to wait for a less busy time to land.
100.1 MPH ! 300km in 1:50. That sounds fast, but 5 pilots broke 110, and Gary Ittner turned in 122 MPH (that's 300km in 1:30). But its only the second time I've gone over 100 on a task. Gotta go faster to keep up with these guys. Shaking off the cobwebs and trying to remember how to fly the Ventus in 15m (I only ever put the short tips on once before, for Uvalde last year; I really should practice). Perhaps a bungee cord to hold the stick forward would help. Striedeck told me this task could have been completed with no circles, perhaps Gary actually did it. I don't understand how to read the lift lines if you cruise far below the 17k cloudbase though.
Tomorrow the real show begins.
PS: Gary's trace shows only 13 circles - he didn't do it without any circles, but real close ! John Cochrane did it with no circles but was a bit slower.
Today (16-July) we had a serious accident during take-off at Tonopah. A glider ground-looped and hit a motorhome and a pedestrian. The pedestrian was airlifted to Las Vegas and will have brain surgery this evening, and will likely lose an eye. Multiple skull fractures and a broken jaw. Condition is listed as "stable", but perhaps with brain damage.
Some older gliders have the release on a long floppy cable. You will NOT be able to grab this in a ground- loop. And, these older gliders are more prone to ground-loop. In such a glider, HOLD ON TO THE RELEASE until you are certain of a safe launch, then LET GO so you cannot accidentally release.
PLEASE: practice this. Instructors, please drill it. This was a preventable very serious accident. It was also the SECOND pilot to ground-loop today, and NEITHER pilot pulled the release soon enough. The first ground-loop damaged the glider and he may be out of the contest.
Today's flying was marred by a take-off accident. Launch was delayed and the task shortened: 208 miles is a very short task out here. Doug Jacobs won at 111 mph, and more than 40 pilots exceeded 100. My measly 102 was good for only 39th or so.
Lets hope we can manage without any more accidents or incidents.
When is the lift too good ? What could possibly be wrong with huge lines of 13kt lift ? Perhaps the big blue sparks and microbursts are a clue. Today we launched, but there was no obvious task that would not risk tangling with the big boomers (and PST would be a complete crap-shoot). Task cancelled.
I flew along the edge of some of the building storms, plenty of time to play and enjoy the scenery even if no where near enough time for a task. The storms are just stunning to watch from high altitude in the clear air. Just remember to stay away from the sparks. They don't move quickly and don't have a big anvil, so you can fly on the side where the storm is feeding safely - just stay well away from the rain and don't go under the thing where the micro-busts will descend. Quite unlike a really tall fast-moving storm where the shelf is in the hail danger zone.
Flew along the edge of a line of storms to the south and found my eyes stinging from the smoke flowing up from the fires near Bishop. Watched the walls of dust flow up into the storms with the sun shining through between these spectacular clouds. Absolutely amazing to see, sorry I didn't have a camera with me.
Flew home and put it in the box when it looked like these storms might reach Tonopah.
Big storm near the airport resulted in day scrubbed while we were on the grid, followed by a mad rush to get them back in the box. Drying trend makes tomorrow and later days look more promising.
Good news: the guy hit by the groundlooping glider has lost an eye, but it looks like he will recover OK. He's in for more surgery, and the plastic surgeon told him he'll certainly look better than he did before the accident. Hopefully to be released from hospital in 5 days or so.
Started after 2PM; it was difficult to get a decent start with no thermal convenient to my assigned start cylinder. 2 mile start cylinders are too small for the conditions here. Great first leg, passed a bunch of gliders, had 96 mph average at cloudbase after the first turn. Promptly got in trouble on the second leg and fell behind the pack. Check the pulse oximeter and verify that I am in fact screwing up big-time whilst fully conscious. Made a huge deviation for a 9 knot thermal to finally get back up to a reasonable altitude but now 15 miles off course. Extremely discouraging to hear the first finishers while still 90 miles out, even though I was only 1-2 climbs from final glide.
Oh well, somebody has to lose and I'm ready. 76 mph while the winner did 99... Basically dead last for this performance ! Surely better next time.
Further reduced moisture didn't prevent beautiful cloud streets developing to the North-East early. We're tasked straight out to the Northern-most turnpoint up past Euraka, then a slight dog-leg home. Should be a fast run up the streets baring any holes. Only 310 miles or so.
Started at around 2:15 after a bunch of others had already left. Climbed out the top of the gate, proceeded on course, and stopped to climb at 7 knots in the blue to comfortably reach the clouds over the high ground. Finally got up and ran down the first street. Stayed up in the top 2k below cloudbase and avoided any circling for many miles. At the end of this street, dove at the rocks and sun starting the next one. Climbed at 11 knots, and as I topped it off got to see 30 sailplanes streaming into the bottom. Ran the next street slow enough to stay high and got in front of the others who cruised faster and circled in the cores.
This is too good to last, I've passed all the early starters, and I get to the end of the street at cloudbase near Euraka. Its blue and hazy looking 30 miles North to the Bald Mountain mine turnpoint. I dithered and searched under wisps part way. Too low to get out to the turn and back. Picked a bad line and watched all the little planes pass overhead... Its better when there are sailplanes in front marking the lift !
Wasting time getting low near Bald Mountain and then getting out slowly puts me in back of the pack, and the good clouds South are now cycling. Extensive sight-seeing follows. Didn't see the wild Mustang herd one of the guys saw though I may have been at their altitude. Lots of scratching and scraping finally gets me home as the last finisher.
76 mph while the winner did 100... again ! At least I didn't land out as a few did. OK, enough fooling around, time to go fast !
Task is changed and reduced to 240 miles after we launch. The cirrus is moving across the task area, and I wait to start until the sun is shining on the first leg. Start at 2:27 after a bunch of others had already left. Climbed out the top of the gate, proceeded on course, and topped off to 15k at 10 knots under the first cloud on course. Bounced through a 7 knot thermal no doubt really making the circling gliders mad, and hit 11 knots under the next cloud. Keeping the cruise speed down to 100 knots to make it more certain to connect under the next cloud, probably too conservative as the gliders in front of me disappear. Detour past the first turn to stay under a line of clouds but hit no strong cores (5 minutes wasted).
Bounced along and get a good look at the over-development, rain, virga, blow-off, etc. in the upcoming task area. Stop and top off at 5 knots to ensure getting around a storm over the high ground between me and the next turnpoint. Detour around the front of the storm to avoid the virga, and find weak lift in the dark in front of the virga. Top off to 16k and glide out to the next run in the dark. Much too conservative. Lots of guys go direct under the messy stuff and pass me. I'm being very cautious to make very sure I don't get low in this area with rain in all directions. 100 knots to the next good cloud, solid climb, blow through some virga to a massive street leading home. Tried to circle once but it sleeted on me so I flew straight. Bounced up to glideslope under the street and ended up on MC 8; good thing as the headwind picked up by 10 knots in the last 20 miles and the reserve was helpful. There were a few straight-ins, which I really don;t want to do out here.
The virga is interesting. We saw one cloud collapse with a mass of rain and descending air in the middle of the task area, clearly visible on the second leg. I really don't want to be underneath a cloud when this happens. Its not a real thunderstorm, but the release of water then mixes with the super- dry air, which evaporates the water, and the cooling causes big sink. Yet, while the virga is forming, no huge sink. Local pilots say the rule is through the virga is OK, but never underneath. Wish I understood the mechanism better. In any case, blowing through this stuff is something I'm only going to do with landing sights in easy reach and clear air on the other side.
Day 4 starts with severe clear, except for some cloud to the far East. Former MITSA member John Cochrane is in cumulative first place after his win on day 4 - I guess he's getting used to his new plane !
Task A is a 500km dogleg around the task area. I'm last to launch on todays rotation, and while I won't have to spend 1:30 hanging about waiting for the task to open, it would give a chance to relax and cool off before the start.
Really windy on the ground - about 25 knots but pretty straight down the runway. As I launch there are gliders relighting. Looks like an interesting day. Its blue except for very isolated wisps and cumulus. Blue days encourage gaggling and when anybody turns everybody turns - very frustrating and inefficient. Still, Task A it is.
25 gliders round the turn at about the same time. Onto the third leg, into wind, over a big mountain range that has to give good thermals but doesn't. Into the next valley, huge area of calm, no workable lift. 25 mile quite glide until the next thermal, glad I got real high before this leg. Some gliders get low on the next range, and its hard to find any decent lift. I just keep bumping along, working into the wind. Almost no markers out ahead, just an occasional wing flash in the distance tells me I'm (surprise) being a slow-poke. The only actual cloud of the day yields some lift near the last turn.
45 mile final glide, nearest place to land on course is - Tonopah. I press out gently looking for the last climb. Work it up to MC 4 with 1500 ft reserve, not enough for this distance and terrain. Press out slowly, bumping up the MC and margin. I see a glider lower dump water and bail out to the North where there's a highway to land on. Don't dump the water on a high wind day until you're landing or you find a thermal !
The view West towards Tonopah is apocalyptic - there's and enormous fire on the Sierra south of Whitney and the sky is black, with what little sun hitting directly in my eyes. Eventually hit strong lift in the shade and press over to warp speed for the last 20 miles.
Slow again at around 75, the winner did 86, but the big story is that at least 20 pilots didn't finish the task, including at least 2 of the top 10 (sadly John Cochrane landed out and blew first place). Interesting flight !
Very high wind and difficult conditions for Day 6 on the ground and right near Tonopah. I almost land and a number of others needed relights. Had trouble getting high near the start, almost landed back again, and finally started very late. Bad move - should have started low earlier, though its painful to head into the mountains low. Fast flights started much earlier, even though this was only a 250 mile task. The great streets were decaying when I got there and I had a rough time. Got home very late and very slow. Smoke from the big fire at Sequoia National Park is affecting the Western task area so we're staying East. Stings the eyes on final glide !
What's that burning smell in the cockpit ? Too much Mexican food ? Nope, no Mexican yesterday or this morning. Problem with the electronics ? Not in my glider. Must be the from the lightning off the right wing. Perhaps its time to turn left. From before launch, it was obvious that the sky would explode. Why the *F****$%^@ did they send us on a 340 task directly under the build-ups ?
I detour away from the first cell and get a good look at the huge anvil building over the first turn still 50 miles away. The sniffer went out to fly the task ahead of us and reports light hail. Sometimes discretion... As I turn around to fly home, others start calling their crews for the same reason - including many previous national winners. Too bad, I was flying well and running with a couple of the top pilots for the first 70 miles until turning back. The guys I was flying with actually completed the task, but they have a lot more experience with this weather than I.
Fly safe - turn around if it doesn't look prudent !
The day started extremely hazy. The short 240 mile task should be quick, but we can't see far enough to be certain about the weather. I start early and have a fast run East towards the first turn. A bit soft right near the turn, the bases aren't so high, and we have to cross back over a mountain range to the area with stronger lift. Some guys fly through the passes and keep going, I stay high and waste 5-10 minutes to keep out of the weeds. Follow the strong bases and bounce along West towards the second turn. Good stuff seems well left of course, and not as strong as it looks. Trying to avoid getting low I take 5kt a few times. Suddenly we're out of the haze into severe clear and blue. A few gliders dive direct towards the turn, but I detour further left to stay under good-looking clouds, and find a thermal that eventually goes to 15k at 9 knots. Follow the wisps downwind into the turn. Past the turn I stop to top off in a 11kt thermal and Karl bounces through. Karl or not, I'll stick with the 11kt. Follow the wisp lines South towards the last turn where there's a huge storm building. Approaching near cloudbase at 15.5k I can see a pass through to sunshine on the other side, tighten the straps and dive through. Altimeter does the cartoon spin in the rain and sink, and finally I hit weak lift near the turn. SN10 shows above glide-slope for home, but that's a joke because I have to go back under the storm. Lots of gliders circling below me but its only 4-5 kts. I press to the other side of the storm which is also working, and get back up to 15.5k - now I have a 10:1 glide on home plus a tail-wind, with a dry lake half way if I don't make it under the storm. What a ride. Altimeter spins down, ear-splitting descent. I hit the gust front on the other side and pull up to gain a little back, then make a normal finish. We scramble to stash YO before the storm reaches the airport.
~20 pilots didn't make it home - arrived too late when the storm was to strong to cross. On the weather channel in the evening there is exactly one storm in all of Nevada, which we had to cross twice ! It was a very unusual long skinny storm caused by a High and Low pinched together, with low-level convergence and high-level divergence enhancing the convection. This is also why both sides of the storm had lift, with the sink in the middle. The weather channel satellite image showed the storm as a line starting in the lee of the Sierra and going all the way into Utah. As usual for this contest, my dithering about made for a slow speed around 73, where the winner did 94.
Amazing contest. Winning average speed 100.2 mph. >100k XC miles flown. Winner and 2nd place flying with ILEC SN10 of course (I was hoping for top 5, oh well). Guess I'll have to start practicing if I'm going to fly fast with this crowd ! What a privilege to participate here.
Back in Boston, trying to recover from this amazing trip. Including practice and a no-task day: 12 flights, 45:30 air-time, 2500 miles cross-country, no land-outs or relights.
Most amazing final glide ever for me: 11 minutes 20 seconds from leaving the lift to the finish line, crossing under a storm on the last day, covering 26.2 miles (138 mph average groundspeed, average vario -8kt and L/D 14.9). The flight log shows more than 24kt down at >200mph groundspeed passing under the storm ! The regular 50 mile glides over unspoiled desert were a bit trying as well, even without storms.
Fastest thermal flight ever for me: 101 mph. Gary did a 300km practice day flight at 122mph, and his trace shows only 13 circles.
Most bizarre auto accident/incident seen: Picture a set of heavy skid marks down the highway that cross each other as the vehicle swaps ends, and end at a Ryder truck facing the wrong way in the median-side shoulder, with the driver staring at us and holding his head with both hands, and all four tires shredded. We also saw a semi on its side by the highway, a destroyed car that had lost control and bounced off the median barrier a few times on the descent from the Rockies into Denver, and a car and trailer intact and facing the wrong way on the outer shoulder (apparently after the driver fell asleep and crossed the median and opposing traffic). The 5700 miles to drive out and back are probably more of a hazard than the contest, though the new MDX tows the Ventus superbly.
Took my loyal crew Justin Oliveira for his first flight in the Duo on Sunday. Justin had his first ride in a 2-32 at Tonopah, but this was his first opportunity to fly. He learned to handle the Duo pretty quickly, including thermalling, and flew more than half of our 3 hour flight around the Sterling area (though we didn't go cross- country, just to Fitchburg and Worcester a few times). Justin is an RC glider pilot, and after all the Duo is just a big model !
Hope you all enjoyed the reports, and Fly safe !

Sometimes I wish I could privately respond to these people searching for answers, but alas, I cannot. So I will write this post and add those tags so that anyone wanting to know how to win against a Narcissistic Smear Campaign can get the answers they seek.
The answer to that question is that you can NOT win that fight. In fact, there are NO winners there. Not the Narcissist waging war, not the people/flying monkeys that participate and certainly not the person being victimized and bullied.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to cut your losses and walk away. Don’t ever look back because Narcissists never get better and they never change. To go back or try to win is setting you up for even more heartache.
What happens when you try to beat the narcissist at a game they’re experts at playing?
You open the door for them to abuse you even more.
You give them ammunition to use against you.
What can you do for yourself once you become the object of a Malignant Narcissist in a smear campaign?
Do not call, email, visit or send messages of any kind.
Do not retaliate. The more you try to defend yourself, the more they’ll malign you to others.
Beware the “concerned mutual friend” that wants to help or mediate. They are just looking for drama and are most likely what I like to call “a flying monkey”.
Do you need extra attention and assistance to recover from this abuse?
The stronger you are mentally and physically, the quicker you can get on with life without the hurtful and abusive behavior of the Narc.
Do NOT go and look!
Do not check out their social media posts.
Do not ride by their house.
Do not have friends spy on them to find out what they’re doing.
I know this sounds awful and who would do that, but someone that is living in fear becomes hypervigilant and watching is a way to feel secure. Except watching is not healthy and it doesn’t guarantee you any kind of security. It also steals precious moments away from you that could be spent doing something that makes you happy.
You might believe, and you might even be told, that the Narc will get bored, or tired, or they will find another victim, and go away, but they won’t and they don’t. They will always be a Malignant Narcissist and you will always be someone they freely attack whenever they see an opportunity.
Don’t react to their taunts. Unless they are breaking the law or physically causing you harm, ignore them. They aren’t worth the mental anguish and they do not deserve to steal your power.
If you want be a winner, you have to start loving yourself enough to know that walking away from that fight is the best thing you can do for YOU. That’s what makes you a winner.

My ex just did this to me. Big time. One of the worst experiences of my life. He’s making himself out like the victim, and telling my friends, (who I intentionally kept away from him), that I’m “dangerous”, hurting innocent people. Projection at its finest. Literally, saying he loved me in txt, while txting my friends the next second spreading private things about me I told him in confidence. It was awful. And… I gave up trying to explain to everyone that it’s exactly what he wanted. He ‘won’. And haven’t heard from two of my friends since. Thank God I have a supportive family who told me they can all go ‘scratch’, and that if that’s how my friends are going to be, I’m better off without. I agree. And I’ve been dealing w this abuse for years, always hoping, giving the benefit of the doubt, then getting stabbed in the heart, over nothing. And, hate to admit, many times. He was out for blood this time. Blessing in disguise, because now, I’m definitely happy to move on and finally be happy (and make new friends). Changed my phone number, and he got a harrassment charge. Buh-bye Narc.
Thank you for this! Ordering the book. Walked away many years ago from a narcissistic mother and the flying monkeys of other family members and her friends. Not sorry at all to have walked away but it is deeply painful. Staying would have been multi-times more painful. Grateful for all the help I have had in the journey!
Thank you so much! You will find a lot of good guidance and information in the book. I hope it sheds some light on what you’ve been going through and helps you get stronger. Big hugs to you!!

A much-needed spell of rain is likely to hit Huddersfield this evening.
Forecasters at The Weather Channel have predicted as much as a 65% chance of rain this evening.
But don't get the sand bags out - it's unlikely to be anything more than showers and light rain.
And the dry weather will return tomorrow with a 0% chance of rain and temperatures of up to 23°C (73°F).
For rest of the week it will remain sunny with cloudy intervals until Friday 13 July and Saturday 14 July where there is a 50% and 70% chance of rain respectively. It will however remain warm with peak temperatures of 25°C on Friday and 26°C on Saturday.
The warm, dry weather is likely to continue into the following week although there is a fair chance of rain on the following Wednesday 18 July, Thursday 19 July, Friday 20 July and Saturday 21 July.
Forecaster Sarah Sammy, of The Weather Channel, said: “Through this week, a weak low will progress southwards from Norway.
Could Huddersfield be heading for the first hosepipe ban in 23 years?
“It will be briefly cooler with the lowest temperatures on Tuesday.
